Boca del Infierno has a Slayer and four scoobies, using the mechanic of added drama points for the scoobies to keep things in balance dramatically. But in addition, each player has a secondary character who appears when the main character is offstage, or for special episodes. The players of the scoobies have heroic scale characters; the player of the Slayer has a scoobie-level character. This has worked pretty well as a Buffy-style introduction of guest stars.
Manse has four characters per player. Attention mainly focuses on the four children of noble houses, who spend time together in school, and the four soldiers, who spend time together on and off duty. But there are also four adult nobles and four servants who appear from time to time. I'm getting ready to send one adult noble, two children of noble houses, and one servant on a "dungeon crawl" type of expedition, which will mix things up interestingly.
