A Pup Diagnostic
Totally stolen off of dynastessa
A pup-diagnostic meme just to see which ones I might possibly be having difficulties with, and which ones might ... um. Go on the chopping block to make way for new ones. Here's the very first diagnostic on my head voices, something like two months short of hitting my four years in Milliways. (How did that happen?)
Edward Cullen
Journal: themidnightson
Series: Twilight
Muse Strength: 5/5. He's the loudest of the loud voice in my head. This hasn't ever not been true since I picked him up over two years ago. I've always got something I'm doing with him. At the best admission I'm always probably running a plotline of ideas for Milliways and one or his multiple AU games.
Cast Strength: 2/5 I've gotten kind of used to the fact that over the past two years, I've had only two consistent other players in this corner. While I don't mind understand other people being busy, once it's pretty much the constant state of always you learn how to take care of yourself and trust that other people will take care of themselves when or if they can.
Player Preference: 5/5 Yeah. I'm totally sold on him. Even if it may not be SM's sparkle so much anymore, so much as Amanda's.
Likelihood of application/deletion: Never gonna happen.
Esme Cullen
Journal: sheisourheart
Series: Twilight
Muse Strength: 5/5 I have Esme's voice actually really clearly. I get her motivation as matriarch, mother, wife, house designer. I waffle on the wholeness of her awareness of certain topics, and how to handle them via the Bar and the Canon. But really, what it comes down to a lot of the time? Esme's content. In a life where people do their utmost to make sure her life is never ruffled. There's not always a ton to do with that.
Cast Strength: 2/5, see Edward's.
Player Preference: 3/5 No matter how well I understand her, she's never really the Sparkle that's loudest or most beloved.
Likelihood of application/deletion: Uh. I don't see it happening anytime soon, but if someone loved her and understood her, and neither I, or Steph, or Kyle, had any issues with this person's take on Esme and everything that's in the package that is her. And we're a heavy little triad.
Star
Journal: bright_daughter
Series: Tarot, The Major Arcana
Muse Strength: 5/5 I can totally always tell you where Star is. In either side of her flip. I know how she thinks, what she'll say, where she'll go. It's really fun to play her, but it can be draining, too. Just her mindset on top of all the rest of her being herself.
Cast Strength: 5/5 During a Tarot Plot or 1/5 at any other time
Player Preference: 3/5, 4/5, 5/5 This answer totally depends on her whims. After Her Fall she vanished for weeks. At present she's sort of patiently hanging out in the background of the a New Moon plot instigated by neenie.
Likelihood of application/deletion: Potentially never.
Marian of Knighton/Nottingham
Journal: queenofmay
Series: BBC Robin Hood
Muse Strength: 4-5/5 I never really lose Marian's voice. I know it so well.
Cast Strength: 0/5 or 1/5
Player Preference: ...sigh. 1/5 at present. I haven't played her in over a year. I love her, but I've very stuck on what to do with her. Her canon corner is gone, if it ever much existed. And Marian is too Marian for me to take up Arch or Tortall on her moving into either. And then there's the whole Season Two and Death things. It's a little frustrating. But I'm thinking to do something with her in November?
Likelihood of application/deletion: I'm too sulky to consider it.
Illyana Rasputin
Journal: sorceressupreme
Series: X-Men & New Mutants
Muse Strength: 3/5 While I blame the lull on the waiting to play this character about two years now, I've played in places off and on since I was about fourteen. Illyana isn't someone you ever really forget once you've fallen under the spell of her caustic, biting awesome.
Cast Strength: Hrm. 3/5-ish? There are quite a few Marvel people, though really only two would matter to Illyana as much and those two are very often in the being around realm. But they are up from the 0/5 of last year.
Player Preference: 1/5 ... cuz in two years I've had permission to do, what, two threads?
Likelihood of application/deletion: This comes and goes. I consider her about as often as one of my Secret Pups.
Haruhi Fujaka
Journal: thecommoner
Series: Ouran High School Host Club
Muse Strength: 3/5 But I have a defense! Haruhi is a little less than enthusiastic about most of her own world and her friends debtors, so it's a little hard to be rockin' the passion for her at times. But it does make a lot of sense.
Cast Strength: 1/5 I've seen two of the other once-full cast of players once since I picked her up.
Player Preference: 0/5 I should do more, but Ouran really is a sort of cast drive little codependent network. And it hasn't happened.
Likelihood of application/deletion: Considering it often. Not yet though.
AND?
Peeta Mellark
Journal: real_or_notreal
Series: The Hunger Games
Muse Strength: 5/5 He's hellishly loud right now. And he makes sense in pretty much all his timeframes, and I'm really feeling the preset Milliways timeline placement that I've been testing out in Mixed_Muses. I really want to toss him in the bar and deal with his Capital assumptions and Arena angst already.
Cast Strength: 4/5 I think counts if it means a lot that there's a Gale and Peeta and Katniss at least. I really wouldn't turn down there being more people in this canon corner. Because so many things could be edited a little with Milliways help. Like Finnick. Or Prim. Or Rue. Madge. Dream big everyone.
Player Preference: 5/5 There's something totally gorgeous about having a shiny new toy from a shiny new canon. And yeah I get part of it is my not loving New Moon BarCanon. But Peeta is really awesome in his own right.
Likelihood of application/deletion: Totally happening in November. Which says something since I haven't apped anyone new since Edward on August 5th of 2008. (Which will happen at the same time as two other deletions.)
Anyway, so.
1) If anyone has any suggestions on what I might possibly be able to do when you have a pup who needs to move forward but moving forward means dealing with these kind of touchy time/cast factors, um. Some advice would be swell?
2) If you're wondering why I don't play a certain pup, or why a certain pup has suddenly become weirdly ~request-only~ - well. Thiiiis is why.
3) If you have any 'OMG I JUST HAD THIS AWESOME IDEA THAT WILL INVOLVE OUR PUPS' moments, please share! Anything that would get me to play some of these guys a little more would be awesome.
4) If you just don't care, thaaat's cool too.
