Genesis
Deava: Fudou, Rena, Sophia, whatshisface the vice comander guy, Apollo, Silvia, Sirius, Reika, Tsugumi, Pierre, Jun, the Paku Romi twins
Baddies: Touma, Otoha, Futaba, and 5 more angels who were smaller but nevertheless speaking roles
Random: Baron & Chibiko (arguable, but they were important and appeared from time to time)
So even if we don't count the 5 minor angels it's still 18 charas
Evol:
Neo-Deava: Fudou, Crea, Suomi & Donar, Amata, Mikono, Zessica, Mix, Andy, Shrade, Cayenne, Sazanka, Yunoha
Baddies: Mykage, Kagura, Izumo, Jin (deceased)
Random: Alisia (arguable because she's in stasis, but she's important)
Altogether 18 charas, 16 if we don't count Jin and Alisia.
And yet... Genesis managed to have episodes focusing on Pierre (oh lol the gattai addiction ep) and Tsugumi, lots of episodes that were basically fillers and existed mostly to have fun with the cast, and still the main characters were never handled as bad as they are in Evol.
