I don't think I have seen this posted before, so here goes....
We know that per-Character reveal is coming eventually. We also know that some underpinnings are in-place already. In that case, a separate "official" category that provides stubs for what will eventually be the Player Character representation in RealmWorks would be helpful for GMs to be accustomed to working with them separately from "Individual" category entries.
GMs can, at the moment, make a "Player Character" category as needed. That won't eventually gain any functionality that a standard category will, though, and that could be seen as a drawback.
