Note
Only some meanings of character can be counted, and only those have a plural. Story figures, distinguishing traits, written symbols and colorful individuals all count up naturally: a cast of characters, the town's local characters. Moral strength does not. A person shows character, never characters, so the plural always points away from that sense. Character as a set of traits marking a group or breed can go either way.
