Quick and dirty SOTU minus the numbers
Setsuna
IC: Very happy to have Uriel back. Trying to encourage Hatter to be less of an asshole and probably failing. Otherwise, comfortable and up to his usual tricks of annoying the daylights out of people.
OOC: I just love playing Setsuna. Domyoji's post was a perfect reminder of why. My only present issue is that I have no idea WTF his powers should be post-canon. There's nothing to indicate he doesn't have them, but are they still merged with Rociel's or what. This makes me shy away a bit from more serious fights where Setsuna will have to go all-out, which saddens me because I love having Setsuna fight. I also think that while Setsuna clearly shows his bratty kid side for a lark, I am showing more of his serious, knowing side whenever I get the chance. He does like helping people; it's why I enjoy throwing him in anon posts.
Lelouch
IC: Stressed about Nunnally's recent accident and camp outwitting him on his attempts to give her independence while still ensuring her protection. Trying to figure out what she really needs and dealing with Cornelia about it. I might essay on this. Ever unsure over wtf to do with Suzaku. Plus, still reeling from earlier revelations about the nature of his actions.
OCC: Still love. The trick is to keep him involved in plots, whether my own or camp's since Lelouch needs to constantly be working through things to stay sharp. I am enjoying popping him into the Card plot on and off. I also really loved my chance to take on Zero Requiem in the February plot with Cornelia.
Zero
IC: Was dealing with the issues Kaname poked during and after their dream chaos and subsequent transformation, particularly about Yuuki. Still frustrated on that subject. Currently, zonked out of his mind due to the Diamond card.
OOC: Turning Zero into a mongoose delighted me immensely and fucking with his deep-down "need" for people through the Card plot is both intriguing and hilarious when he does thinks like preen for Ferdinand. Possibly another essay subject. Yeah, he's not going anywhere.
Toboe
IC: Mega-emo over Alpha trying to hurt him. :( Though his time as a lion helped him settle his cat issues a bit more.
OOC: I LOVE THE PUPPY 4EVER. I'm so happy to get to play him in a fight thread. I need to do more fight threads with him since the puppy can fight when he wants and can be FUCKING SCARY.
Kiba
IC: Easing down a bit due to love-goo messing with him and making him an adorable puppy around Pell. Currently also Diamond'd and very confused by it. Turning him into young Roland also gave him a bit more insight on humans, although he would still rather avoid.
OOC: I love playing Kiba's grr side, but other aspects are harder. I want Kiba to learn to be a leader (which he sorta did when protecting Toboe from lycan!George and also a bit of his teaching Simba things -- which I want to do more of!), but I also don't want to change him INSANELY from the mostly "apart" character he is in the series. It's pretty much Kiba's destiny to be distant since he can never stay with anyone. Tough balance and something I struggle with in allowing Kiba development.
Eddie Dean
IC: Previously worried as hell over Roland since his dinh was dealing with the aged-up and dead versions of his ka-mates. This particularly twisted Eddie up since he couldn't really help Roland, and that's something important to him. Currently Heart'd. Also missing Susannah and Jake in crazy ways. :(
OOC: I really think I under-used Eddie in the Card plot because Zero and Kiba had the easier status effect. I have been trying to get Eddie out more, but I'm constantly worried that I'm not holding voice, even with canonmates. He's definitely my backburner, but I think the character really deserves a more active role. I need to get him more involved in fighting/action threads and develop a plan of his off-screen activities to show he's not just chilling since Eddie always has to be doing something. I love Eddie's intelligence and way of blending that with dark humor, and I just never seem to find a way to use that here. It's frustrating me to no end since it's the essence of the character. Jokes are one thing but his insight is something I'm completely skipping out on, which is probably due to his lack of CR beyond canonmates. And I'm not really sure how to fix that. Eddie is just not a character I leap to throw out like the other five I've mentioned so he misses out on posts that could really highlight his personality. I keep telling myself I'll put the others on hiatus to play him more, but I never do. I can't. I just love them too much. I love Eddie too and am not going to ditch him since I'm almost 100% sure nobody else wants him but... I just wish I knew how to fix any of this.
Thalia
IC: Getting used to camp and the freaky deal with the duplicate gods (especially Artemis) and mortals who are fully aware of what's going on around them. I imagine she fights some of camp's crazy inhabitants daily. Very put off at the idea of being led into a trap.
OOC: Haaah I definitely started playing Thalia late, especially dangerous after coming off a shaky app round. The confidence is severely lacking and I second-guess myself constantly over whether to throw her in a post and the comments themselves. I keep telling myself Thalia needs more action-oriented posts, but I know Thalia can thrive outside of action too if she has a goal. I mean, at the end of the series she's still chatting about cheeseburgers and such. I need to find my balance with teenage Thalia and warrior Thalia. I tried poking at that in Domyoji's post and didn't quiiiiite get it, but it was a little better. I need to decide if I want to do another post soon. I also need to tag canonmates/gods more. I think I can make this work and even possibly work Thalia into my main five more easily than Eddie because her voice/anachronisms aren't as tricky. But I need to find my groove and my confidence. I need to play her.
.... Also wow I should really do my relationship meme already.
