Hasegawa Chisame - number1idol
Comments: 22,732
I've mentioned it before--Chisame's ALMOST been dropped about four or five times. She is, in fact, only still in the game because once upon a time (about three months after the game started) I thought it was against the rules to drop only one of your characters. XD BECAUSE I AM A WINNER. But anyway! Several times since that first bout of retardation, Chisame's almost gotten the boot, and her relationships have saved her.
The funny thing is, Chisame has far fewer relationships now, and yet she's the furthest she's ever been from being dropped. I don't think I ever will drop Chisame, really. She's not exactly a spamwhore, but she is easy, she is interesting, and the thing is that assuming I get her out enough, she actually has a knack that is SURPRISING FOR A 2.5 YEAR OLD CHARACTER for forming new relationships. I mean, she ended up friends with Ryoutou after like two threads and is already taking over Asuna's slot as "Peony's realistic tsundere teenage girl." I also have a tendency to play her without even realizing it; every time I gather links to app a new character, I think "Eek, I better play Chisame more first!" and then I go to gather her threads and she's commented twice as much as most of my other characters. She's not always the first character I reach for when I want to play, but that doesn't matter to me anymore. I fixed her OOCness, I think, and I became COOL with her, and she will always have people to talk to and will always remain the #1 choice for tsukkomi when I'm in the mood. |D I would possibly drop her if Chizuru dropped, but not before.

TRUFAX: Tomo will probably be dropped someday. I have no DESIRE to drop her; she's very close to last on my mental "Hmmm, what order would I drop people in?" list, or rather, she exists outside the list in her own hammerspace. Of my own accord? I can't really imagine dropping her. But there are circumstances, yes.
Once upon a time I COULD NEVER DREAM OF DROPPING HER EVER. It made it freak the fuck out and cry and all that! And then there was a point where I was really worried it would happen, and . . . I dealt with it. Just sort of mentally acknowledged the possibility, because it had to be done. And since then I'm zen about it. I don't want to drop her or anything, and I have no plans on dropping her ever. But if Sano dropped, she would go with him, without question, and I would be okay with it. Because that's how I want it to happen! Because roleplay, for me, is both a game and a story, and when it comes down to it I'm a huge damn sap who knows how she wants Tomo's story to end, even if it means ending the game at the same time.
Tomo is my special spamwhore baby and I have NO DROPPING INCLINATIONS WHATSOEVER. |D As long as she's in camp, she'll be okay. She will always have something to do, someone to piss off or some dirty thing to say, I can play her on autopilot, and I'm confident in my play of her and in her voice. But I no longer have a coronary when I think of letting her go, which is a good and healthy thing, and when the time comes for her to ride off into Pink Hell and rape her sum Sano, that is what will happen, and that's Okay. ♥

Asahina Mikuru - helloinjapan
Comments: 2,531
Man she has so few comments XD (MY TWO SPAMWHORES ARE OUT OF THE WAY, EVERYONE ELSE HAS LIKE 100 COMMENTS SRSLY)
Mikuru is, in fact, the first character I would drop if I had to drop someone, and I was vaguely considering it recently. I'm not considering it to that extent anymore, but! Mikuru is a character I worry about, and I've realized it's not going to go away. It's not enough to make her unplayable or even unpleasant to play, but it's also not going to be grown out of like my jitters with Haru or anyone else. She just has never sat quuiiiiite right with me. I worry that she's boring and repetitive and I don't know how to fix that because--that's how she is. Mikuru is a very interesting character to me, but a lot of that comes from how much she keeps trapped inside and all the secrets she has, and those are not going to come out much in camp! So. I have my worries about her voice and how interesting she is and wanting to bring her out, and they won't ever go away, I don't think.
Of course, I also love Mikuru and I love to torment her, and people seem to like her okay OOC! I THINK. And she has an awesomesauce cast. So it's not a decision I would make lightly. I have found myself leaning in that direction at times and yeah if I really had to lighten my load, she'd be the one. But I'm not really dying to do so, and I won't be unless she becomes very very hard to bring out at all.

Chao Lingshen - shipsdontlie

Chao has also come very close to getting the ax more than once (look at her comment count)--not including that one time she DID get the ax l-lol. But at the moment? I'm cool with her, and her activity has gone up quite a bit, although it's still too low. The thing about Chao is that she's a very complex character who was involved in a deeply complex plotline, and it's easy to focus on the parts of her character that make her difficult to play instead of easy. The parts of Chao that make her complicated and difficult are some of my FAVORITE PARTS OF THE WHOLE SERIES. And yah. Sometimes I let myself get slightly paralyzed by that, and her activity drops again, and I consider letting her go.
But when it comes down to it, the thing is that Chao doesn't need to be hard to play. Yes, she's a villain, yes she is a genius and deeply fucked up and somewhat amoral. But the thing, the thing I love about Negima is that she's also a total retard. XD I mean, honestly? She's like Tomo with a 200+ IQ in some ways. She jokes around a lot very morbidly and enjoys making people react by freaking them out. She's seen and done enough shit in her life to be unaffected by things that would turn the stomach of a normal person. And that side of Chao is very easy and very fun for me to play, and when I rediscovered it, Chao was saved from imminent drop (Greed got it instead) and got a new lease on life.
I could drop Chao with little consequence because she doesn't tend to form close relationships (although she DOES tend to be liked by absolutely everyone, in canon, and I need to work on that by getting her out more in camp). But I don't want to. I did it once, and now that I have her back, I don't want to let her go again, even when she falls onto the backburner and I start my worrying again of OH GOD AM I SMART ENOUGH TO PLAY HER? And the answer to that is no! But luckily, Chao doesn't always have to be smart, and even bullshitting science to try and make her SOUND smart is fun when I remember to take it easy.

Miura Haru - mafiosobold
Comments: 4,836
Shockingly enough to ABSOLUTELY NO ONE!, Haru is the last character I would drop. When I got her in I was nervous as fuck about her, and I spammed with her, and then suddenly I settled into her VERY EASILY. I hope to god my Haru is good, because she sure is easy. Haru takes as little effort as Tomo, and she's just as cracky and fun in a totally different way that allows me to easily sustain them both! Which I worried about! |D
And there's her canon and AWESOME CANONMATES, of course. It is just--so easy to have something to DO and something to FANGIRL ABOUT with the Reborn cast, and I love them for it, because they helped me settle in with Haru a lot by playing with me when I was feeling nervous and kinda intrude-y. THE WAY I DO. :( I fully admit that part of why she is such a spamwhore and why I will never let her go is because it's just great being in the cast. But Haru herself . . . I love her A LOT, I feel like I do a good job at her, I feel like there's a lot for her to do and explore and a lot of fun for her to have (and the occasional emo, too, IT IS REBORN), and even without her castmates I would have apped her and I would be loving her and clinging to her, because THIS CHARACTER IS MADE FOR ME.
Haru could survive Tsuna leaving camp. If like, the whole CAST left? I'd strongly consider dropping her, because it would just be too much. But at the moment, that is pretty much the only thing that could ever make me consider it. She's just too much fun.

Yamazaki Kaoru - techromancey
Comments: 690
Yamazaki is . . . still new. He's still newer than he SHOULD BE at this point, and I need to work on that. I apped Yamazaki kind of expecting to spam with him, and the fact that it hasn't worked out that way kind of worries me sometimes. He's the kind of character I want to spam with, because he's that kind of guy, and he's also one of those characters that I . . . kinda feel I have a deep understanding of. I don't have a BONE-DEEP KNOWLEDGE of everyone I play or have ever played; there are characters like Chao (and Haru, even) where, yeah, I get them, I know their voice and I understand their thought patterns for the most part and so on. But when it comes to characters I really really get, that's a feeling I don't get often, and I have it pretty strongly for Yamazaki. I could essay on the guy for HOURS.
Which is why it's sometimes worrisome when I fail at commenting with him! I think to myself, should I drop him? Is this one of those characters I'm destined to love but fail at playing? It's way too early to make that decision. What I really need to do is just--focus on him more and spam the hell out of him, and maybe reread canon real quick. Because WHEN HE COMES OUT, I have a great time with him. Oh do I ever. Sometimes I falter a little in threads, and I worry SO MUCH about voicebleed with him and Chisame (and Tomo to an extent). I do stress about Yamazaki because I love him and I'm just SO HAPPY TO HAVE HIM and PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK HE'S GREAT (I hope I hope!) and I want to live up to all that, oh do I ever. So I get more nervous than I should and ackpbht! I do have the occasional dropping thought. But I would never do that to a character I love this much without giving him MORE than a fair chance, and I have not done that yet, so.
LONG STORY SHORT: too early to tell, but god I hope not.

OH MAN. Marmon uh . . . came as such a surprise to me. XD I mean. When I apped him TO BE HONEST I wasn't sure how he was gonna settle or what he was gonna do. I just knew I wanted him, and I decided to go for it and just see what happened even though I had my doubts. BUT THEN HE WAS REALLY EASY TO PLAY for the most part. I do still sometimes falter in threads with non-canonmates, because--he's new, and he's a tiny rapebaby and yeah. I'm still getting used to this STATE OF AFFAIRS. But really, I think he's settling in pretty well, and y-you guys playing a tentacle baby is so much fun, I mean seriously. Once you've gone baby you never go back, okay.
Like Yamazaki, he's new, and it's too early to say I AM NEVER DROPPING HIM EVER! or ehhhh I'll probably burn out on him in a few months. Hell if I know! But for the moment, someone will have to pry him out of my cold dead hands because he's a tiny snotty godmode rapist who likes chocolate and lemonade and it don't get any better than that. :(d
