Usually you create the main Family and FamilyClone. Then you can use events like "Family on collision with FamilyClone..." and you can address both collided instances in this event separately.

This is not possible. You can use a dictionary - add it to the same container with the sprite, so that each sprite instance will automatically have its own instance of the dictionary. And then use this dictionary to keep all values, instead of instance variables. When an item is picked up and you need to add 1 to this item count, you can do something like this:
Pick an instance of Object ObjDictionary Add key (item.name & "Capacity") with value (Self.Get(item.name & "Capacity")+1)

You can also create a couple of helper functions to make adding/retrieving data from this dictionary easier.

KENYONB Say, your animations are named A0, A1, A2..

On Next pressed
 Sprite compare frame = (Sprite.animationFrameCount-1)
 	Sprite set animation "A" & (int(replace(Sprite.AnimationName,"A", ""))+1)
 Else 
	Sprite set frame to (Sprite.AnimationFrame+1)

I don't quite understand why you need 5 sprites for one energy bar. Why don't you use just one sprite with 5 frames in it? First frame is 5 blue blocks, second frame is 4 blue+1 grey etc.

Another option is to use a static sprite with 5 grey blocks, and tiled background above it with blue blocks, which you can resize to change the number of blue blocks.

You need to parse the text and wrap each character in bbcode tags before outputting to the screen. Here is a simple demo which supports bold text only, you can easily add other tags:

You can add all physics sprites into a family and use "Is sleeping" event to check if all sprites are not moving.

However, I noticed that in Box2D engine physics object are often reluctant to sleep - they continue to move/shift a little for a long time.

I recommend using Chipmunk behavior instead.

You can test with some dummy images, you don't need to export and edit real character images.

I found a few somewhat relevant plugins, don't know if any of them can actually help:

Bullet on collision with Enemy Enemy pick top instance Enemy subtract 1 from HP Bullet destroy

If you don't want to destroy the bullet, you can disable collisions for it.

If this doesn't work, please post your project of events screenshot.

Have you tried to estimate the memory usage? So each character will have about 1000-2000 frames. Add 2000 images to a sprite, run the project, see how long does it takes to load the layout and how much memory it uses. I'm guessing you only need to display and load images for two characters at a time, so it may not be that bad. You'll need a separate sprite object for each character and create it on layout start.
