Michael Carpenter absolutely, without a doubt, but McAnally no. He’s interesting, & he’s recurring, but he’s very much a side character & not central to the story most of the time. Frankly I’m surprised that Thomas Raith wasn’t always a main character, but Waldo & Marcone I’m kinda skeptical about. Waldo is slowly becoming pivotal so I could buy him as a main character if you feel strongly enough about it, but Marcone isn’t always partial to all, or even most, stories, whereas Michael & Thomas & Karrin usually are. Billy Borden I would say is a recurring character, for the same reasons McAnally is. Charity is a real tough one, like Butters, mainly because she’s almost always involved whenever Michael is involved. I would say recurring for now, but her contribution to the raid on Arctis Tor makes it hard to shoe-horn her into that slot. She’s very important, but not always important. Feel free to make your own decision about her. Anastasia Lucio is 100% a recurring character, same as Mac. Sure she’s fought a few times, like Mac, but she wasn’t pivotal. Her relationship to Harry I’d say is the same in strength as between Harry & Mac, although of a different type. Lara Raith I would say must be in the same boat as Marcone. If Marcone is a main character, then so is Lara, but if Marcone is a recurring character, which I think is more accurate, then Lara should also be considered a recurring character, for the same reasons that McAnally & Anastasia aren’t. She occupies a symmetrical role to John Marcone in many ways, & is usually involved with the same level of frequency, so they must go together imo.
