I have 10 toons, one for each class (bought only 1 extra slot)

Ranger & Mesmer - most active characters.

Warrior, Dervish, Assassin - active, but less so (but they've done all 3 campaigns and EotN)

Necro, Ele, Monk - inactive since heroes came along. Now used for storage of mods, inscriptions, and "for sale" items.

Paragon - played until lvl17, then became storage.

Ritualist - storage (lvl2)

13
1 PVP mule
9 females
4 males (I sure as heck I wish I had more, but I couldn't let any of my girls go for it, and I sure as heck don't NEED any more characters to play)
1 of each class plus an extra ele and ranger (ele was admittedly just to get 15k Sunspear armor, and the second ranger was to play with my husband through Prophecies)

I really only play a handful regularly though. Sometimes I wish I just had a few, but I really like all of them. Meh.

I have nine characters and even though I don't have time to play them all on a regular basis, I'll never delete them.

My three favorites get played almost daily - Elementalist, Necromancer, and Ranger. My Mesmer, Paragon, and Ritualist are for when I need a break from the favorites. I play my Assassin infrequently because he managed to get on the survivor track. I use my Dervish and Warrior mostly for storage.

Once in awhile I'll make a 10th character in Prophecies to re-visit Ascalon before it got seared or to help someone out with some quests and stuff. That one usually isn't a keeper though.

I have eight.
My main - Necro
A storage mule - Assassin
An armour mule - Mesmer (don't ask why)
Ritualist
Warrior - created by my b/f, will therefore never be deleted
Monk
Elementalist - soon to be farmer
Paragon - haven't played in a while, going for survivor

Most of them have had very long breaks in play, for various reasons.

No, I don't play all of them. I try to concentrate on my main necro, but probably play anywhere from 5-10 different toons in a week.

Account #1
mules: monk, monk, ranger
playable: monk (perma pre), warrior, ele, mesmer, necro (all serve double-duty as mules sometimes, I shuffle stuff around to play the ones I want)

Account #2
mules: assassin, ele, warrior, dervish, ranger
playable: necro (main), ele (going for LDoA), warrior (perma pre- with LDoA), paragon (new, going for LS), monk, ritualist

Account #3
mules: monk, ele (both in pre-)
playable: necro (only character in post-)
+ empty slot (actually, it's a warrior right now, but only exists to be deleted later after transferring items from pre-searing to post-searing)

1 main- ranger Protector of Tyria and beat all 3 campaigns + GW:EN
1 secondary- necro hasn't completed any campaigns yet, close to finishing factions though
1 tertiary- warrior(hardly ever play) fully leveled/attribute point quests, but far from completing any campaign.
3 other pve characters I started, but got bored quickly. a lvl3 sin, lvl 7 ele, lvl 10 monk.
Both the ele and monk are 2nd tries at the profession, might try the ele again.
1 pvp and an empty slot.
I won't ever delete the half played ones as they are still good for birthday presents.
But what sucks is the 2 2nd year bday presents were both thorn wolves

My main character, Shayne, is working towards the God title, but only has 11 titles maxed so far.

My alternate, Xylias, is a show-off character that I use in the festival arenas.

My Dervish gets no action.

My Warrior is a mule. Same with my Ele.

My Mesmer is doomed to level 15 in pre-Searing, because I'm too busy and un-caring to finish the title.

My Paragon is naked, but he might turn into a mule.

My last character slot is for PvP, which I hardly do anyway.

Shayne and Xylias still get plenty of play time. The PvP slot gets some action at some times, and everything else is only accessed when I want to store something.

I have 12, one of them has 27 maxed titles and over 12 million xp, the rest just became storage slots and are rarely used for anything but that.

9 slots
3 PvE
6 PvP

My main PvE is a Ranger, closing in on 7mil exp, in 22 months of lay he's the only PvE I've had to any extent (by that I mean the only one I've ever taken past lvl 16.

the other two PvE are merchants, I got them to the main sales towns, so they Mule and sell/buy.

3 of the PvP onlys have had a birthdays so far.

I'm really thinking of buying more slots though, I need a perminint PvP Warrior and Derv.

Mostly though I'm a Mesmer player. I like Ritualists when I'm in the mood to play a healer/support type. I have to say this is the first game where I actually do fully play a certain character, I usually have trouble staying focused on one.
Glad I'm not the only one having this problem, well technacly you don't in Guild Wars anyway, it gets annoying wanting to play all characters.

I forgot to post mine earlier, had to create post quick and leave, anyway:

Theo [main] Dervish Legendary Survivor working on other titles.

Chris [Old Main] my 2nd character ever made, I keep him around because he is the oldest [b-day presents] and because I need a suecide tester to keep the Survivors ready.

Rin [Monk] my to be LS monk, too lazy to play her atm.

Kylen [Elementalist] *same as above*

Tyris [Paragon] He will be my second "God Walking Among Meer Mortals" [if I ever get done with Theo.]

Kael [Warrior] he's close to becoming a mule...poor Kael...

I have one of each profession in PvE, 5 or 6 storage mules and a few PvP slots.

I figure the more time I play and understand the details of each profession the better my knowledge on how to kill them will be. Plus it's fun.

I have 5. The only ones I use are a monk (my main) and a necromancer. My ranger (first character ever made) is now a mule, and I don't think I've played as my other two since the day I first created them (They are a ritualist and another monk).

I used to have a PvP character, also a monk, but I ended up deleting her because I really don't like PvP.

Had 6 toons in prophesies - 6 fully leveled
Had 8 toons in factions - 8 fully leveled
Had 10 toons in nightfall - 4 fully leveled
Have 10 toons in gwen - 1 fully leveled, 2 half leveled.

I'd love to keep using all my toons, but sadly Anet keep upping the amount of work required to maintain a fully spec'd character. I'd be able to grind out the rep titles on more than 2 more toons.

Ok, I feel singled out because of this:

One PvE char. One. 25 months and counting too. The other 7 are PvP slots, but when the ability to save builds was implemented I didn't even need that.

How do you decide which one you want to play on a given day...?

My partner and I used to keep characters locked to other players. For example
When guildy A was online, We'd use character set A.
When guildy B was online, We'd use characters set B.
When guildy A and B were online, We'd use character set C.
... and so on.

They all did the same thing so we were alway up the the same points in the game and our quest logs were always in sync.

Of course <mandatory jab at rep grind> thanks to the introduction of grind skills and title effects this isn't possible anymore, because there aren't enough hours in the day to keep more get 2-3 characters fully leveled</madatory jab a rep grind>.

Depends, really. Sometimes I want to raise minions, sometimes I want to nuke or heal. I keep a ton of characters around so I can pretty much do whatever I'd like when I want.

14 characters: One of each profession+ 2nd ranger, second warrior, PVP necro and a pre searing character which I keep re-rolling.
Most actively played are my monk, ele, tyrian ranger, necromancer, sin [farmer]
second in line would be my Canthan warrior and ritualist.
