State the nature of your problem:
I've created my categories like so:
--Fiction
-------TV
----------CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Under CSI, I've clicked on "Add Characters."
I've added about 17 or so, and when I go to the "Characters" section, they don't show up... even under "Site-Wide."
They show up in MySQL, can anyone help me out?

Hmm. You must have submissions turned off because Add Story doesn't appear when I am in the test account. I'm thinking your issue is you put the one story you've got in the top-level category "Fiction" which has no characters assigned to it. Only the (grand)child CSI category does. Site-wide characters are ones that are specifically assigned to be site-wide, it doesn't mean every character in every category.
Since your site is so specific, you shouldn't need those tributary categories you've got, I don't think. It's personal choice, but it's more for members to navigate and you'll get a lot of stuff in crazy categories, unless you lock them. (Top-level categories can be locked, ie. no stories put in them.) For example, at my site we have a top-level category "Completed Fiction" that is locked; no one can add stories there. They add stories to one of the two child categories: Long and Completed or Short Stories.
