How do I duplicate an armature and rig? I have an armature/mesh in my scene. I want to duplicate this rig multiple times so I can have multiple instances of the same character. Problem is that all the armatures behave to their meshes, but only the original driver panel (floating above the character's head) controls all the other characters. This is very confusing for me and I would appreciate any help you could give.

This rig is appended to my scene (not linked) and I have not set any keyframes.

I know very little about rigs, so extra detail is appreciated.
The solution: You have to append the rig multiple times instead of duplicating it. Duplicating will basically make another instance, while appending again will make an entirely new armature/mesh in the .blend file.
