Well Pawprints is indeed pretty unique, though it's by no means the only game out there and you certainly have several other major options to choose from.
First off is entombed.
This is a real landmark title for audiogames.
The game combines trotting through a preceedurally generated random dungeon, with turn based multi character battles. Each character has two jobs, and though you start off with just the one character you'll rescue two others. That's aside from your pet wolf who fights with you, and other random minians who might be on your side such as necromancer's raised skeletons.
What is particularly noteworthy in Entombed is that what characters you rescue is very random.
So, while you might start with a fairly compitant half elf wizard, you might be unfortunate and rescue a Halfling barbarian. Fortunately, you can make that barbarian's second job something like Bard to take advantage of their quickness while not relying on their strength.
There is an extensive demo where you can play the first 8 flaws, and have a choice of six starting races and 11 jobs, though in the main version their are 18 jobs and 13 races.
Then, there is manamon. I'm not exactly sure if this is what your looking for, since Manamon is in some ways a single player game, however since your playing a manamon tamer who wanders around with a party of multiple monsters, battles definitely involve more than one character. Battles are turn based and oncemore, heavily strategical, in terms of what manamon you take into battle with you, how you train and equip them etc , indeed I haven't quite worked out all my manamon strategies myself .
Combine this with lots of equips, and lots of different training options, and you've got the recipe for masses of customization, perhaps even too much.
Again, a landmark title and one that is highly recommended.
Oh, and btw, story is much darker than pokemon if you were wondering .
That is as far as itgoes for multi character games in actual audio, though it is worth noting that "heroe's call" currently in development will I think involve multiple characters and shoul really! rock.
In terms of browser games however, one you might want to look into is path to pelantas. This is sort of a hybrid of sports management, a little strategic building, and multiplayer rpg.
You are a lord with a team of heroes. bAttles can get reall complex here, because your heroes each have different positions and attacks, as well as strengths and weaknesses, and the strategy of the game involves how you set them up, as battles are pretty automatic.
It's heavy on the pvp with you being required to fight matches against other players teams of heroes in the arena, although there are also options for questing, taxes and doing various other things as well.
Then, another title you might want to try is Silver sword for Ios.
This actually is an attempt at a game similar to what I believe wizardry was like for mobile platforms.
You again have a party of characters, multiple attacks, wandering round a map, even inventory management for each person.
The only thing with Silver sword (and the reason it hasn't got a database entry as yet), is that accessibility with voiceover has been rather ropy in the past.
For a start, it's taken quite some time for the developer to add a coordinates based movement system. Then, though battles are turn based, text appears in real time and then disappears, which is rather odd.
I do know people have played it successfully, but how accessible it actually is I'm not %100 sure myself, as it's something I need to sit down with and spend some time working on.
There is a page about it on the applevis site here
Hth.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
