Hello,

I am looking to build a site for my online game, where a user can create an account that allows them to manage many different "characters".

What I need to be able to do, is have users create a "master account", that allows them to control 1 or more different characters. They should be able to create and edit their characters from within their account. I was working with the User as Node module, but that only allows one node per user.

Is this feesable without a lot of customization? What modules should I be looking at?

While not ideal, I would also go with a method that allows 1 user to have many accounts (but with the same email address, unlike the default Drupal configuration, they'd use the name of their character to login), and each account controls 1 character.

the point is ..how your online game interact with those characters.

Do these characters need to be users? Can't they be just nodes of type "character", which belong to the user?

I saw a new module recently which may help. I haven't tried it, but I remember wondering what it was for:
http://drupal.org/project/subuser

Also check http://drupal.org/project/sharedemail

Yeah, each character can essentially be nodes assigned to one user. What I will ultimately need to be doing with these, is to allow users to do things like create content (blogs, images, etc) as well as post on a forum, using the name of their character instead of their username. The game revolves around roleplaying as your character, which is done in a forum based setting.
