[OOC] Dropping / SotU Meme
Ishida Uryuu
IC: Ishida is ... pretty stable! His relationship with his dad is looking up, he's pretty okay with Rikuou being in the picture, Hakkai is back, and most of his camp "family" is still around. He may not have a whole heckuva lot to do right this second, but he's still doing okay. :|d
OOC: Ishida is zen! He is a backburner that doesn't get much play, but when he's out, I usually enjoy myself. And personally, I think that's all the justification anyone really needs to hold onto a character. I'm still deciding what to do re: spoilers (lolol my lineup just keeps losing body parts), but for now, I'm gonna wait and see how much Orihime heals him. And then update. ... or possibly see if that Ulqui reapps and see if he wants to cut off Ishida's arm -- I mean. I would never do anything that cruel. rly.
PLANS?: UHHH on hold until Bleach updates far enough to know what to do re: spoilers? I dunno, I'm just glad to see him in canon again. Even if he is getting mauled.
Drop?: Faaairly stable. He might go if Ryuuken and Rikuou both do, but as long as his CRs are stable, he's stable too.
Malcolm Reynolds
IC: Pretty decent, overall. His adopted kid is kind of a dick, but he knew that already. Roy's here, Hughes is interesting as always, he occasionally meets new people ... and he's just generally a lot more zen about the fact that he's stuck in a zombie camp. Second time's the charm?
OOC: Oh Mal. My problem child, orz. Ever since I reapped him, I have utterly and completely failed at playing him properly. I just. orz. I have a mental block or something. I can generally struggle through a thread if I concentrate, and I desperately want to play him off his old relationships but ... idk, set relationships have always been difficult for me to play, and Mal is especially tough. I've thought many times about just dropping him again.
PLANS?: Co-post with Robert! Keep throwing him when I can to see what sticks.
Drop?: Definitely the most likely out of my lineup. I'm fighting to keep him if I can, but it's a losing battle at this point. If I don't get some real enjoyment out of playing him within the next month or so, I'm going to just let him go already.
Kurogane
IC: Sad. :( And getting pretty damn sick of camp. Sakura left, Nia and Kairi don't remember him, which mostly leaves Fay and Ikki and Mokona and a few other random adoptees. He's really itching to get home and fight something, dammit. And getting the occasional memory update doesn't exactly sooth his ninja nerves.
OOC: ... yeah, I'm hitting a rough patch with him too. ISN'T THIS A CHEERFUL MEME. On one hand, I can't even imagine dropping him since. ... it's Kurogane. I can't imagine my lineup without him. In my head, he's one of my iconic characters (like Ishida and Mal and ... okay the list's gotten a bit long over the years), so I can't actually consider dropping him. That and the fact that Fay would kill me in the face. And then TRC would probably kill him or do something badass with him and then I'd regret having dropped him. So he's on hold. I thread with him every now and then, but ... mostly I'm waiting to see what TRC does.
PLANS?: idk. interact with Prussia and Ikki more? Get topped by Americairi? I should do more with him.
Drop?: Uhhhh. I've occasionally thought about it, but I think it would be best to wait until TRC ends. After that, I'll decide what to do with him.
Aragaki Shinjiro
IC: Shinji's very in between at the moment. Yay Akihiko is back! ... boo, I am still kind of a dead hobo with no urge to do anything with my life. Yay P4 cast is interesting! ... why do I even bother with these damn relationships. Etc. He flip-flops between honestly trying to make something of his camp life and being grouchy/touchy/annoyed with this whole being alive thing. Progress with him is very much a two steps forward, one step back kind of situation. He needs a niche of some kind, and he hasn't quite found it yet. If he does figure himself out, then he might finally -- finally get some mental healing done. ... for now, he's still kind of trying things out. It helps that people enjoy bugging him about not doing anything with his life. :|d (ty aki and kanji.)
OOC: ... okay, now we're getting into more cheerful territory. When I last did this meme, I was on the verge of dropping him. Fortunately, however, I got a fabulous new Aki and some great pseudo-castmates in the P4/P2 folks, and that was enough to kickstart me into playing him again. He's mildly inactive, just like ... most of my lineup, orz, but I get him out steadily and have fun with with him, and that's the part that counts.
PLANS?: More gay threads with Kanji and all the other Persona peeps. Keep poking him re: being a stupid emo hobo. Maybe have a dual post with him and Watanuki.
Drop?: Nah, he's pretty comfy.
Watanuki Kimihiro
IC: :((((((!!! Kira just left, Yuuko is missing, Sakura and Riful and Miyako left relatively recently as well ... plus he's worried about how things are going back home, and how things are going in camp, and generally worrying about everything. Because he's Watanuki. But even with all that, he's honestly happier in camp than he ever was back home. He has tons of friends, plenty of opportunities to chill with Himawari-chan~ and his ... boyfriend ... ish ... thing. So he'll just keep on keeping on and do the best he can, etc.
OOC: o Watanuki, you are still my baby. One whole year in camp and I'm still not tired of playing him. o/ If Holic's not throwing me curveballs, then there's something interesting to play with in camp, or some new way to play with his development. And personally, I'm pretty proud of the progress he's made. Yay for finding situations in camp that mirror his canon experiences. Just about every thread with Rhode leads to awesome, and I love attempting to jesus people with his Watanuki-ness. Have I mentioned that I have the best Holic cast ever? Because I do, and ilu all. ;;
PLANS?: MORE. stuff. Meet the Ouran people and get enslaved, maybe. Chat it up with Tazendra again. ... really, just keep on doing stuff while I wait for Holic to finish up and give me material for a good canon update.
Drop?: YOU'LL HAVE TO PRY HIM FROM MY COLD DEAD FINGERS, DAMIMT. >(
Ginko
IC: Worried. The appearance of the sezuri-kai mushi rattled the hell out of him, but he also got to meet some fabulous people, and he generally feels more productive as well. Either way, though, he's definitely going to be more alert re: the mushi and other stuff in camp. This event also marks the beginning of him really trying to find a way out of camp. He could sort of ignore it before, since Camp is Camp and it didn't seem affected by his mushi-attracting effect. But with the sezuri-kai showing up ... no matter how much he enjoys camp, he knows his time is just about up.
OOC: Confliiicted. I was honestly ready to just drop him outright a couple weeks ago, but then I thought "no, I should at least run one of those mushi events before I let him go." So I did, and ... it went well! I enjoyed doing it, Ginko got tons of fabulous threads, and I generally managed to work up a lot more enthusiasm for the character again. Which uh. Kind of ruined my neat little "I'll just drop him" plan. So instead, I've decided to start working him towards an end -- a point where I'm "planning" on dropping him -- but hopefully once I get there, I'll have reestablished him to the point where I'll want to keep him after all. It worked with Mal when I first apped him; I think something similar will work with Ginko as well. ... stupid wanderlustful hobo characters.
PLANS?: Finish up the sezuri-kai event, run more mushi events in the future. Though I'll probably wait a month or two until the next one.
Drop?: Nnnnot right now. I'm working him towards that point, but like I said, it's not necessarily a plan to actually drop him. I'll see how he does in the next month or so and decide then.
Devin Wilshire
IC: Nothing can really dampen his enthusiasm for camp! ... ... except not being affected by it, which is beginning to make him >( a little. no fair! Why don't I get to turn into crazy things and stuff like that. :(
OOC: o Devin. I am a little less active with him than I'd like to be, but I still a) get him out decently enough and b) have plenty of fun when I do. He is my go-to character for meta and general pop culture goofiness that can't be done with any of the others. And eventually I'll let him have a camp status effect, but for now it's more amusing to make him immune to everything. Overall, I'm pretty zen. |D
PLANS?: Start up Faesocha in camp! Have a movie night with Paramedic. Generally thread with everyone more.
Drop?: Nah, he's comfy.
