Default-level/Common sense-level cats should be considered for deletion.

It should be presumed that characters are Living until we are told otherwise.

All characters are Recurring unless One-Shots.
 * To this I recommend that Villains be classed as
 * Main - recurring in nearly every episode, ex. Gargamel
 * Major - recurring in nearly half/most Dr. Drakken
 * Minor - Recurring in less than half, and or may be a hench to Main/Major Shego
 * One-Shot - not counting mentions, brief flashbacks, and momentary background cameos (where they could literally be replaced by anyone and not affect anything)
