characterschosen

CharactersChosen is a term used in storytelling, game design, and software development to denote the subset of characters who have been selected, activated, or otherwise designated as the active group in a given context. The label is commonly used as a variable name, a field in a save file, or a parameter in character-creation interfaces.

In software, charactersChosen is typically stored as a list or array of character identifiers, such as IDs or names. Examples include JSON representations like {"charactersChosen": ["knight", "arbiter", "archer"]}. The data may include order, constraints on the number of characters, and references to character data elsewhere in the system.

In narrative contexts, the term may describe the ensemble of protagonists followed in a chapter or scene, or the party assembled by the player in role-playing games. In turn-based or action games, the sequence of charactersChosen often determines turn order or available actions.

Variants of the term include selectedCharacters, chosenCharacters, and charactersSelected. When designing data schemas, developers decide whether the collection is mutable, whether duplicates are allowed, and how to ensure consistency with the full character roster.
