Good to hear you're feeling better! :)

As to the categories, here's my opinions:

Gender I'd keep, yes.

Major would be for main allies, and primary targets, plus characters making multiple appearances: Corvo, Daud, Loyalists, Billie Lurk, Delilah, Targets, Emily, Jessamine, Outsider, Lizzy Stride, The Geezer, Slackjaw, Granny Rags, etc...

Minor would be any character that does not have a unique model, for example: Ms. Benton, Hackworth, Maggot Montaine, Annabelle, Maria, Mad Survivor, Test Subject 312, Simmons, etc.

For Minor, I would also lump in one-shot unique people like: Lord Shaw, most of the aristocracy at the Boyle manor, Berthold, Pratchett, General Turnbull.

People I wouldn't necessarily put in either would be: Geoff Curnow, Madame Prudence, Nurse Trimble, Thalia Timsh, Morris Sullivan, Griff, Esmond Roseburrow, Unknown Child... unless their status in some other category would necessitate them being in one or the other.

Debatable characters would be:

1) Thomas... is he important enough to be put in Major Characters? I think so, but others may not. Regardless, he shouldn't be in Minor at all.

2) Bunting... he can appear in multiple missions... I wouldn't ever put him in Major Characters, but is he important enough such that he falls outside the parameters of a Minor Character?

3) Abigail Ames... is she important enough to be in Major Characters? I wouldn't put her in minor, but I don't know if she is important enough to be in major as she isn't necessarily a target.

These, however, are just my opinions and thoughts on the matter.
