IC Radu is in a really bad place right now. It started when Dietrich got back and Radu realised that he was in a much worse position now than he was last time Dietrich was around. Dietrich had been gone for a full year and during this year, Radu managed to meet a lot of people. While he's not someone that cares for others particularly deeply, Radu had formed attachments and Dietrich picked up on them. Radu's afraid of Dietrich, yes, but he has very much the AS LONG AS IT'S ME IT DOESN'T MATTER mindset going. Dietrich's found that hurting his friends or worse, using him to hurt his friends, is the easiest way to get a reaction from Radu. It works. The problem is, with Ion and Mirka's arrival, Radu's suddenly reminded again very strongly of his "proper" place in the world and he's…trying to pull away again. More subtly this time since lololol last time he tried that it kind of really DIDN'T WORK. It's more effective this time too, because Radu himself isn't exactly completely aware of it. Instead of avoiding people entirely, he'll just avoid telling the full truth! By which I mean, Radu isn't that much of a blatant liar, he much prefers avoiding the truth and omitting bits of important information. In any case, Radu kind of hates life a lot right now, but he's dealing.
OOC I love Radu. He's…the character I've had the longest and the one I can pull out whenever. I've read a few other Radu players in other RPs and I'm aware that my characterization and play of him is pretty different from other people's but I do think that I've settled into a pretty good place with him. I like the voice I've developed for him. I want to get him out a bit more and work on solidifying some of his older relationships that may have started to waver since I haven't been around, but other than that, I'm good.
Drop? I was afraid that he was going stagnant a few months ago and had been debating dropping him, not because I couldn't play him anymore but because I didn't know what to do with him. But with all this turmoil in his life, I feel like he's been given a jumpstart. So…he'll be dropped someday, but not for a while yet.

IC Chikusa's...kind of blah. He is very Not Happy about what Byakuran did to Mukuro before Christmas and he really wanted to do something about it, but Mukuro had forbidden him from doing anything and, well. Mukuro's word is law. He did consider getting Ken to do something but mostly due to my fail that didn't end up happening. He would like something more specific to do for Mukuro, because (as he's told Mukuro) a tool that isn't useful isn't worth anything, but he has a vague…thing…and he'll keep getting information about Dietrich for Mukuro. Note to self: have him takl to Radu and Raikou. Other than that though, Chikusa's all right. He's with Mukuro-sama, the rest of Kokuyou is around where he doesn't need to worry about them for Mukuro-sama's sake, and that's pretty much all he needs in life. ♥ Mukuro-sama ♥
OOC I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIM sob sob sob. Chikusa's one of those characters that I love to play when I play him, but I often feel really guilty tossing him out because he's so unresponsive and dotty. I love playing him off of Ken and Mukuro because I know how he works with them, I love playing him off of Gokudera and Yamamoto because Chikusa gets kind of petty. Or as petty as he gets which I find hilarious. With Chrome and Lancia is okay too, but then I hit a block. Like I said earlier, I feel guilty making other people carry conversations. Chikusa is a character who's very well suited to CFUW (so I found) since he's in his element but in camp itself, there isn't much for him. I…meh. I do like the way I write him, but just. Meh.
drop? Whenever Mukuro goes. Chikusa was apped for Mukuro, and while I enjoy playing him when I do he will leave with Mukuro.

IC Maleficent's Maleficent. She's bored to hell and back but she doesn't like people enough to socialize. She isn't completely displeased watching over Camp from her castle all day, and (I assume) she has wonderfully terrible conversations with Spike and Dru relatively regularly, and spoils Honlon a lot since they live together. Maleficent is ever so fond of her housemates, after all.
OOC I PLAY MALEFICENT. DISNEY'S COOLEST to me, at least VILLAIN. …okay now that I'm done with that…Maleficent is probably getting dropped soon. I adore her, I love playing her, she is one of the characters I am proudest of playing. She's the Mistress of ALL EVIL for gossakes. Buuuut she's so not social, she does Big Things, she has Big Plans, and Camp is not really the place for her. One of the problems is, she's the character out of my entire lineup that I burn out on the fastest, and due to the nature of her posts, I tend to feel like I end up saying the same thing over and over again sob. Also is the situation of her being, well, HER. I don't know what to do with her anymore and since I've been saying that for…forever, really, I'll be letting her go soon. NOT YET since there's still stuff I want to do with her (DUMBLEDORE LET'S HAVE TEA) but she should get back to thwarting fairies and cursing princesses. Besides, she's wanted to leave since Spike told her where to find Aurora 8D …that said, I'll still be sad when I gotta let her go. Because she is so fun to play and it's MALEFICENT and sob I do love her so very very much. TRUTH BE TOLD I never expected to hold onto her for so long. It was a spontaneous app!!
drop? Soon, probably. With a BOSSFIGHT of giant dragon.

IC Not. Good. Diiiiietrich cheerfully spent four or five days taking Raikou apart. And then sent parts to Ikki, Gokudera, who knows who else. This is what hit Raikou the hardest, really. Because he messed up really badly. By trying to make things better, he instead became a reason as to why Ikki was further hurt, and this is a problem. It really upsets him, that there's nothing he can do. In camp, he's come to accept that he's ridiculously overpowered by almost everyone he knows, and it irks him! Because back home, he's strong. Raikou hates it so much, that Ikki keeps. getting. hurt. right in front of him, or when he's nearby, and every single time, he hasn't been able to stop Dietrich. It's Ikki now, which is bad enough, but what if Dietrich finds out about Raimei, or if Gau coems back? And with Dietrich, Raikou can't even torture, because he can't get near Dietrich. The temptation to ask Itachi for help is so strong, because Raikou knows of Itachi's ability and Itachi is his best friend, but Raikou doesn't want to chance Dietrich hurting Itachi as well, doesn't want to chance involving Itachi in something that may be too much for him to handle. And for what it's worth, Raikou doesn't think Dietrich is doing any of this for any reason other than to get a reaction out of those involved, which makes it so much worse.
OOC I~love~Rai~kou~ He's entirely unlike any of my other characters-- he's fun, lighthearted, silly, a total dork, pretty casual, expressive… I can get away with saying things that none of my others would, I never get bored playing him. He's so fun to play off of other characters and he has such a wide range of emotions that I can do a lot with him. This conflict is good for me for him because he's able to show his more serious side, which barely gets played. The biggest problem I have with Raikou is the situation with Shirogamon. Raikou's decision to stop using Shirogamon wasn't made lightly and it was an accumulation of a lot of circumstances, half of which didn't happen in camp. And due to the way I canon-updated him when Gau had shown up, it becomes an issue of Raikou having two sets of memories. …I don't know. I kind of want him to stop using Shirogamon until canon has him drawing her again, but at the same time, I… I dunno. Will probably talk to Raimei and see what she thinks about this.
drop? Not anytime soon. He's in a bad place ICly but he'll bounce back, and he's in a very good place for me OOCly.

IC Kamui could be doing better. But he can always be doing better. His nightmares aren't going away, and the longer he's in camp, the more worried he is about what's going on back home. That aside, he's also kind of relieved at being here. It's a break from constantly worrying about the kekkai, Keiichi is safe and happy, and…while it's not quite the same person, Fuuma's here and Fuuma's kind. He's loosened up a bit since arriving, more prone to smiling with people he knows, and he's making friends that he can talk about stuff he's afraid of telling Keiichi… stuff like the Foretold Day and all that. He does want to go home, though. …And then there's Mukuro who knows exactly what buttons to stomp on to make him go akjdhgfsk and Kamui actively Does Not Like Him, which is rather rare since Kamui's really more apathetic than tsuntsun. imho.
OOC After a long long time of waaaaanting him, I finally HAVE him. I'm pretty happy with the way I play him (though I do plan on doing a canon-review soon since there are some aspects of my play that I go :? at) and I just hope that other people think I do okay as well. Kamui is my first and only main character, and from a very well-known canon to boot, so I'm still kind of nervous whenever I think about it. But I try not to and then I'm good |Db I kind of want to get him into some sort of bigger conflict, but we'll see what happens with current situations.
drop? Nope. If I had to drop all but one, with my current lineup, Kamui's the one I'd keep.
Kurei

comments 1,152
IC Kurei is boreeed and antsy. He wants to get going! On with the mission! KILL THE DAD!!! And beat up the little brother a bit while he's at it 8Db …Except he can't. On the plus side, Joker's alive and whole, Raiha's around. On the downside, KOGANEI's around and Neon isn't. Kurei has issues and he doesn't like dealing with them.
OOC I have big, big problems with Kurei. Because of how he's portrayed in the manga. Anzai only ever showed a very few scenes of Kurei when he's not dealing with Recca and the Hokage nin, and most of those are from before Anzai TOTALLY RETCONNED him. This makes it very difficult for me to figure out how he'd talk to people not castmates and…in a place like camp where it's not practical to set everyone that pisses him off on fire or where it's just stupid to not make allies, Kurei's kind of hard for me to work with. Also because back home, everyone knows him but here people don't and I can't quite figure out how to make him interact with other people. On the other hand, threading with the Uruha is a ton of fun, and switching him from mid-series to post-series is also fun.
drop? …possibly, if I can't figure out what to do. I wish Anzai had given me MORE on him.

IC Kou is okay. He misses Dokugakuji, Yaone, and Lirin...but at the same time, is kind of relieved they're not around because Nii is. He's kind of :/ because everyone else from his world is from THE FUTURE but he's not...tooooo bothered by that since it doesn't look like there's been much change. Being at camp is kind of the chance that Kou and Goku didn't get before to become...friends? They kind of understand each other! Sort of! They just never got the chance to do much more than beat the shit out of each other before (yet they still manage to become notgayrivalenemies back home) so. look, civil conversations.
OOC Kou and Kurei have the same problem of castmates vs not cast, except…Kou is a bit easier I think to make social. I'm still wavering on whether or not I'm doing him justice, but I think I can settle on something more easily. I'm just really akjhfdjkhsa on how to work with Zakuro (ILU) because Minekura NEVER TOLD US how Kou and his men reacted to his "betrayal" so I don't know how I ought to have Kou react. …And I'm kind of frustrated because since Hazel showed up, Minekura's forgotten about Kou's existence and I WANT MORE. …Also maybe some conflict to make life more interesting.
drop? not too high, but not too low. We'll see if I get better at playing him.

IC NOT…TOO BAD. A lot better than last time he was around, anyway. Because he got to pay a brief visit home, he's more confident in the IT'S OKAY IF I'M GONE SINCE I WON'T BE MISSED thing. And he'll willingly admit he would've missed the people here if he had to wait…what, seventy-some years? to see them again. He's sad that Claire isn't around anymore, but he also knows that Claire isn't the type to stay in one place and that he'd be unhappy if he's caught. He's happy that Firo's made friends, and he'll make more of an effort to socialize this time since…he has less on his mind!
OOC aaaaah Luck Luck Luck. I MISSED HIM. sob. I regretted dropping him five minutes after I did so and I thought it would get better except it didn't and aslkjdfhgkjh Luuuuuck. I ADMIT I don't play him as much as I should but I totally plan on fixing that so he can meet more people and make more friends and aaaah Luck. Do love the relationships he currently has, want to develop them further. I THINK I PLAY A RELATIVELY OKAY LUCK? Am pretty steady on his voice, though I do want to incorporate what we have from the novels a bit more into my play so some mild tweaking may be happening.
drop? n-not again anytime soon.
MOST TO LEAST LIKELY:
Maleficent, Kurei, Kougaiji, Chikusa, Luck, Radu=Raikou, Kamui
