Alright, how about this for a list, with characters in a random order (the one in which I came up with them):
Good
1.Rayman
2.Ly
3.Teensie
4.Globox
5.Betilla
6.Polokus
7.Murfy
8.Clark
9.Lac Mac
10.Ed?
Bad
11.Admiral Razorbeard
12.Reflux
13.Henchman 800
14.Jano
15.Lunette (Spyglass Pirate)
16.Count Razoff
17.Hoodmonger; André form
18.Mr. Dark
19.Livingstone?
20.Bad Rayman (noted as a separate character as opposed to a skin for Rayman since he would have a completely different set of attacks)
As proposed earlier, other characters such as the Ninja Henchman/Ninjaws or Flips and Bzzzit may be incorporated using skins (which may also be unlocked?).
I think Master Kaag is a bit too much as a normal character, but maybe he can be a stage-specific baddie, like the Buccaneer could be. You know, scenic objects that may affect gameplay according to whether a character is close to them, or as set by timed events. For example, a Warship and the Buccaneer could fire random assaults at the players, whereas Master Kaag would be stomping around on his own until a player comes too close, at which point he'll try to flatten them.
And I thought Reflux would do as a good bad character, since you can tone him down in the sense that he could only attack using his staff as melee weapon and cast basic spells with short range, or you could completely overpower him in the sense that he could control all forms of magic possibly imaginable, much like in R3. Plus, he's a bad guy that's iconic, either for being loved or hated, but at least fun to battle against. He looks like a classic 'ring-fighter' (i.e. boxing ring).
Also, there could be 'additional characters', which would not be playable, but would make an appearance nontheless. Such characters could be any of the official characters we didn't want to include as playable ones, or giant characters not fit for playable ones such as the Grolgoth, Foutch, etc. But I think first we should get the main thing together.

The superior requires the strongest of yer men, the fiercest of you lot, the toughest of the shipmates to join forces and battle our eternal nemesis: Rayman! We have driven him into a corner, but we are outnumbered; with help from the Knaaren and the sourcerer Mr. Dark, we will be able to beat him, once and for all. Rejoice, maties! Our ships are ready to set sail; we leave for the Glade of Dreams in the morrow. At positions! The furious Admiral joins us!
He doesn't talk like that, but I'd replay the game if he did.

Razorbeard redesigned his Lunette since the old one is still running around somewhere on boiling lava.
spiral, your André Hoodmonger is really nice. If you'd like to be noted as a concept artist, I could put your name on the list. Or would you like to be in the Concept Theorists category? Of course anyone can be in multiple categories.
