More of a state of the lineup thing... I'm not dropping anyone.
Near

IC: Near has been having a really rough time lately and his first reaction is to want to go home. Home is safe and easy, but lonely and he knows he will regret it even if he could just up and go home. He is going to be very secluded from his usual activities until he feels better.
OOC: I still love playing Near. I like almost all of his relationships in camp, and no matter how bad I feel for him from time to time, I don't intend to stop making him do things he doesn't like anytime soon. His voice has gotten very easy for me... which probably means it's time for a canon review.
Plans: Near is going to be aging up soon for sure. Other plans include possibly hiring protection, and something fun that he would like (I feel like he needs a break or he's just going to snap).
Dropping: Oh lord no. Near is my main, and probably will be for a long time. If I could only have one, it would be him.
Cuthbert Allgood

IC: Bert has a lot of new interesting things to poke at and he's really going to enjoy training with Zanki. Bert likes having a goal, it's distracting him from the feeling that he SHOULD be going home, but can't/isn't.
OOC: Bert's voice is getting a little cloudy for me, I really need to canon review. I don't want him to get out of character, but it is canon for Bert to learn other people's accents really quickly and easily, so I've been lazier on his accent as time goes on. I should try and stabilize it before I totally lose it. Otherwise, I adore playing him. I love my badass even if he fails half the time.
Plans: Riddles, muffin balls (todash~) and I still want to do the sharpshooter post with Usopp I promise I didn't forget it!
Dropping: Meh, it's unlikely. I was so worried I wouldn't get him in to begin with I really had no idea what to do with him once I got him. But I'm really pleased with the relationships he's been making in camp, I can't really see dropping him without really good reason.
Hank Venture
Played since: 3/08/09
Comments: 473 (6 comments per day 4% of total comments)
IC: Hank is a spaz and he will be happy no matter where he is so long as no one is badtouching him. He does miss his family, but not enough to hate camp because of it.
OOC: Obviously I have trouble playing Hank. I get into a thread for a while then just... give up and drop. When I'm in the mood for it, I LOVE playing him. But that mood is not easy to get into. Plus he has like NO connections in camp, so it's hard for me to just jump people. I'm really hesitant to just randomly throw Hank at people because he is difficult to deal with and generally annoying. I guess I know I'm doing it right when people tolerate having him around but don't really like him.
Plans: Get Hank out more in general, maybe a post forcing him to make some friends? There have to be people in camp willing to put up with him regularly... I may have him give out tsunde retters.
Dropping: I keep teetering with Hank because he never gets out and I generally get tired of playing him really fast. But when I do play him, I love it. I can't think of a Hank thread that hasn't been awesome in some way. And I adore every one of his icons, I should make more. But dang, I just never PLAY him.
Fran

IC: Fran is pretty zen about camp. A lot of people have gotten over the way she looks and there is less staring which helps. But mostly she's zen anywhere she is, so long as there isn't trouble.
OOC: OMG BUNNY LADY! Really, I had no idea what to do with her when I got her, but I've found her really easy to throw into a lot of situations no matter how little she generally talks. Her voice is occasionally really hard for me, and about half of her threads I either drop or Fran walks away from because she just isn't interested in most people. I like having a more serious character (compared to Near's immaturity, Bert's humor and Hank's... Hank-ness) even if it is harder for me to play. But Fran isn't without her light moments, so I've been enjoying both sides of her.
Plans: Mist related freak out, at some point Fran will try to do her job... other than that I have no special plans for her.
Dropping: NO WAY! Bunny lady is way too much fun to drop.
So in order of most to least likely to drop:
