State of the Muses 9/13/11
How you doin', LJ? I occasionally remember I have a personal one!
character: mischiefbreeder
series: Pokémon Special
tagging priority: ■■■□□: I tend to save his tags for last... Because he has so many of them. If I did them first I might never actually get to my other tags.
muse strength: ■■■■■: Haaaaahahahaha.
cast strength: ■■■■□: Best cast ever. A fantastic Silver, Red, and Mewtwo, and the Yellow's shaping up to be good too. JUST NEED BLUE TO INTRO. The only thing keeping it from a five is the one castmate I won't get to have.
plotting capabilities: ■■■■■: ...Yep. Gold pretty much has a plot scheduled for him every month for the next couple months. Aforementioned cast helps a lot with this.
general fun level: ■■■■■: Come on guys you know this.
likelihood of drop: □□□□□: Get real.
character: hotheadedidiot
series: Tales of Destiny
tagging priority: ■■■■□: I tend to get to his tags after Asbel's, and they're easy to do.
muse strength: ■■■■□: He's a bit quieter than he was in the old days, but that's partly because he's been around for a while and has started to go stagnant. I'm working on fixing that!
cast strength: ■□□□□: ...I got a Leon this cycle? But as much as I love Leon, I always feel perpetually (unsure) about him in Luceti now since I've gone through so many of them.
plotting capabilities: ■■□□□: Stahn's my defacto 'fighter' character, so when there's action going on, he's my man. That's why he's involved in the Blue Rogues. ...But there isn't a lot for the Blue Rogues to do, really. So he's more my character for derpy, light-hearted interactions now.
general fun level: ■■■■□: Despite that, whenever I do do stuff with him, I always enjoy his threads. They're rarely ever a chore or a bore for me. Just, you know, he's gone stagnant.
likelihood of drop: ■□□□□: Well, I don't play him as much as I used to, and so I've contemplated doing it in the past. But then I decide to tag around with him and end up going (yay). So... As it stands now, despite that chance of doing it, I think I'll stand by my promise of "The day I drop Stahn is the day I drop Luceti".
character: raizanshou
series: Tales of Graces
tagging priority: ■■■■■: I tend to get to his tags first. Not for any particular reason, really. That's just how I do it.
muse strength: ■■■■□: Some of his tags can be tough, since I have to use the right balance of his personality traits. But for the most part, his tags are pretty easy, especially once I get going on them.
cast strength: ■■■■□: I've got a full cast now! Which is awesome, fuck yeah full Graces cast. ...How did that happen. But... some of them don't have much presence in Luceti, which can be discouraging. But they're all awesomely IC at least
plotting capabilities: ■■■□□: Asbel's more of my 'serious plots' dude. I'm a bit hesitant to do stuff with him because of spoiler risk, hence the low score, but it's not too hard to come up with long-term plots for him. I've got one going with him right now, in fact.
general fun level: ■■■■□: Yeah, I enjoy him. His tags are fun to do, generally.
likelihood of drop: ■□□□□: Don't joss me, localization.
character: rending_drop
series: Tales of Vesperia
tagging priority: ■□□□□: I... tend to ignore his tags for days at a time.
muse strength: ■■□□□: The muse is there! His tags are pretty easy, generally! But the desire to do anything with him is not.
cast strength: ■■■■□: Honestly a pretty fantastic cast. Kind of quiet overall now, but a great cast nonetheless.
plotting capabilities: ■□□□□: I've honestly had nothing for him to do and no drive to get him involved.
general fun level: ■□□□□: I enjoy some of his threads, but I quickly burn out on doing... anything with him.
likelihood of drop: ■■■■■: He's already pretty much gone. I just have a few things I want to accomplish with him so he doesn't just leave Luceti on a quiet note. But he'll be gone by October.
character: blastemir
series: Ar Tonelico II
tagging priority: ■■■□□: I haven't started playing him yet, but I figure he'll probably come after Stahn and before Gold.
muse strength: ■■■□□: Again, haven't started playing him yet, but I expect him to be a quieter muse than my others, and that's alright with me.
cast strength: ■■■□□: I went in expecting only a Jacqli as cast. And then I got a bonus Cloche. Which is already more cast than I would have ever expected to get. I haven't followed Cloche too closely yet, but Kyio's Jacqli's pretty awesome.
plotting capabilities: ■■□□□: Dunno how things will be long-term, but I've got a few things in mind, at least.
general fun level: ■■■□□: Haven't started playing him, but it'll be interesting to play a character like him again, and I should be able to do things with him that I can't with my others (like get a job!)
likelihood of drop: ■■□□□: He gets the default two out of five, since he's a new muse. It'll depend on how much I get him settled.
