As you can tell with the recent events, Kakashi, Iruka, and now Anko have left the spotlight....three people who Asuma normally associates with. I'm a bid saddened at the fact that the muns left because not only were they amazing people, but it gave me (as a writer) something to look forward to with my character. But within the past few weeks I've been feeling rather astray from the group because the place has grown rather...Uchiha vs. Hyuuga some big affair doodad, which is fine but it leads me to one big question; What big significance is my character bringing to the community? And so far I haven't really understood that myself. Two huge characters that played a pretty decent role in my character's history (which I have to redo) dropped, so it leaves me wondering what to do with Asuma Sarutobi.
I have talked with a couple other people on the site, mostly Genma/Kurenai-mun, and we were wondering what significance we really have on the community. I suppose I could throw Asuma into the Uchiha vs Hyuuga crossfire...but that seems so OOC to Asuma. Because he doesn't really care with what happens to the Uchihas or with the Hyuugas really left me out on left field while everybody else swarms in. Right now I feel like my journals/posts are irrelevant to the site and that I'm pretty much just wasting space...or like that one funny guy on that late night sitcom who makes an entry and then disappears until someone goes, "Hey do you remember that one guy?". I don't know, maybe I'm feeling a bit paranoid, but right now I'm at a complete loss.
I enjoy writing as this character, I've been doing so for two years now, and I've hit a brick wall with this. Maybe it's because I've played him straight, and I shouldn't have to change his orientation just to get some plot time, but I kinda feel like the black sheep of the group. I guess the reason for this is to ask;
What purpose does my character, as well as Kurenai-mun's character bring to this community?
I just need some guidance before I make any sort of decision. Thanks.
