ScriptObject and memory question

I am working on an RPG (old school 2d SSI Gold box kinda stuff) and the memory usage of T2D is alarming. I have a question about ScriptObjects and my use of them.
Right now for example I have a character class for the characters and enemies in my game:

$defaultObj = new ScriptObject(defaultObj){
		class = "character";
		t2d_ref = 0;
		x_size = 50;
		y_size = 50;
		imageMap = "punk_char";
		x_position = 0; //X position in tiles
		y_position = 0; //Y position in tiles

		str = 10;
		dex = 10;
		cons = 10;
		int = 10;
		mnt = 10;
		hit_pts = 10;
		mnt_pts = 10;
		max_hit_pts = 10;
		max_mnt_pts = 10;
		orig_str = 10;
		orig_dex = 10;
		orig_int = 10;
		orig_mnt = 10;
		orig_cons = 10;
		orig_hit_pts = 10;
		orig_mnt_pts = 10;
		level = 1;
		game_class = "Monster";
		move_pts = 3;
		game_name = "Monster";
		status = "Normal";
		move_pts_left=0;
		initative = 0;
		effect_set = 0;
		spell_set = 0;
		weapon_set = 0;
		armor_set = 0;
		item_set = 0;
		
	};

This is really working great because I can write functions like this:

function character::setCons(%this, %set_var){
		%this.cons = %set_var;
}
	
function character::getCons(%this){
		return %this.cons;
}
	
function character::setInt(%this, %set_var){
		%this.int = %set_var;
}
	
function character::getInt(%this){
		return %this.int;
}

There are alot of functions for the character class (applying damage, figuring out status, applying bonuses and penalties, etc...)
and in my game there are around 2-15 character Scriptobjects at any time.
My question is about memory usage. For each character scriptobject is there a seperate memory space for their functions or since they are all of the character class does the character specific functions share the same space?

I am hitting around 140 mb of memory and that is just kinda scary due to what still needs to get implemented.
Any ideas?
