At this stage I can't really fathom not playing Wolfwood. GOD HAVE I BEEN PLAYING HIM A LONG TIME NOW. There was a period in his first six months where I considered dropping him because I had no idea wtf I was doing with such a goal-driven character who's constant companion wasn't with him. I got over that stage when he shifted into primary spot over Anakin and he's pretty much been there ever since. I love Wolfwood with all my heart. He is the easiest to bring out, he has the biggest social network, he's the easiest to POST with. He has a lot of longevity behind him and has proven he can withstand a lot of crap.
But this isn't to say I can't imagine a point where I would drop him. Wolfwood is, canonly, incredibly driven. He doesn't have this in camp, and he's just now starting to realise it. He's also been here a long, LONG time, a lot of his friends have dropped, and camp is starting to get to him. He misses his home :/. And in the last few months he suffered a real emotional blow by breaking up with Gwendal and he was agonising to play like that. So I can see myself dropping him if he got to a point where he was too emotionally shattered or exhausted to remain playable. I still get frustrated with him! As much as I like emo emo drama, staying in it TOO LONG as Wolfwood is wont to do turns me off.
At the moment I don't see myself dropping him though. He's improved lately and is getting back to a saner mindset, if not a specifically happier one. He would survive his cast dropping, I think - he was here almost a year without them, after all. But that would hurt him too, and if a lot of people he was close to left, it might be time to face the music. NOT YET THOUGH. I feel like dropping Wolfwood would be a dropping CFUD move. :(

I've almost had him a year now! I don't ever think about dropping Chrno, really. It doesn't occur to me much. It took me a good few months to get settled with him - for a long time I was stressed over how NICE he was and how BORING his threads must be and how DULL it must be for people to play with him. But I came to terms with that and am quite happy being :D :D :D at people now. He isss... not really a primary, but my secondary I suppose. I love my shouta demon.
The only reason I might drop him currently would be if Rosette dropped. I mean, I wouldn't particularly want to, but I know he'll get progressively more and more miserable without her. I would probably try to hang on to him if this happened, but I don't know how long I'd be able to keep it up. For all I know, he'll do just fine. Right now though, he's the least likely to drop after Wolfwood.

Sob, look at his comment count. PATHETIC. Rick, while I love him to death, is a very hard character for me to play. It's not that I can't handle his voice so much (I think I do okay at it), but that he is... situational, to me. I don't like THREADING with him, I like POSTING with him. I like being able to CONTROL WHERE THE CONVERSATION IS GOING TO GO. Threading doesn't let me do that as much because I can't control the starting point! So he doesn't get out all that much. And he never will: backburner forever. He is also the first I would drop if I couldn't handle playing all my characters or needed to lose some weight. I would feel bad now that Evelyn is here, but he's really not going to ever get a strong foothold relationship-wise in camp, and I don't play him much. It wouldn't hurt me to let him go. Rick is a case of taking my love TOO FAR!!1 and apping a character I respect a lot. Thus, I get intimidated playing him and don't do it much. Which would make it easier to drop him.

Hideki is still my new boy and I am enjoying him IMMENSELY. I can finally be a true moron in threads AND he's a character from modern times, which is something that separates him from all my others. This makes him easy to play and he's FUN. I feel like I haven't truly gotten to play all sides of him yet, particularly the nice guy angle. IT'S A LOT OF FLAILING SO FAR. But I'm sure I'll get to it when he forms some stronger ties. I've not once thought of dropping him because yeah, too new for that. But in terms of dropping order he'd be next to go after Rick purely because he hasn't been here very long. It wouldn't really affect anyone, or me. I do love Hideki but he's not my all time favourite character, or from one of my all time favourite series. He's not even in the top five. He's easy to play though, and a lot of fun to bring out. I can bounce him off other people and I loev being part of extended CLAMP cast.
He would be harder to drop if I got a Chii (SOMEONE APP CHII ;;) because Chii is incredibly dependent on Hideki and I would feel bad for doing that to whoever played her. But Hideki HIMSELF can survive without Chii. He doesn't like it but he's enough of his own person to get on with life in the meantime. At the moment though, definitely not going to drop him. We're just gettin' started, baby.
IN CONCLUSION: right now, the only one who'd be in any sort of dropping danger is Rick. The others can be pried from my cold dead hands.
