I have to correct myself and explain something to other people modding the game. I was testing using sandbox only and was surprised when my new characters didn't show up in the stages they were supposed to.
The indication on user database Type 21 I mentioned is either redundant or something else, it's not where they're called from. They're called from Type 19 from each Stage separately.
You can add as many character types as you want to the game itself but there's a "hard" cap on how many types appear in each stage.
As it is there are 5 slots per stage. 2 male, 3 female.
This is a problem because it means limited variety per stage.
Males can be cannibalized I guess, although it's not a perfect option.
A compromise would be to add more variety of hairstyles and clothing for males as they only have 2 per character type, bring it up to 4 and have 1 male slot vs 4 female slots each stage.
Beauty pack guy has the elf only show up at the Palace (Stage 5) and did so by replacing a male type.
I am still digging and may be able to find a way around it. I know special characters like Hana, Sibilla or criminals are not summoned in the same way. Hana is even limited to Stages 1 and 2, although it may just be scripts?
Either way it means there may be a way to at least add a non limited amount of unique characters.
I'd like to know if anyone else has looked into special character calls because I keep digging but not being able to read japanese makes it tough.
And to Mandalore, Yes, you can copy and paste a type like that and it'll be fine in sandbox, but you won't be able to make them show up in levels without replacing something else.
Excuse the long post, this point required clarification.
