Raphael
IC: Moody, but not destructively so. At least, not nearly as bad as he has been. He's moved out of the Shack, is spending more time with Mika, and has been generally keeping to himself.
OOC: Once upon a time, Raphael was my forever girl; he was the one that no matter what, I'd never drop. You could pry him from my cold dead hands, etc. That has... changed. I feel less in tune with him than I have in a year and a half, when I first got him and was a little shaky with his voice like most people are when they get a new character. I'm kind of attributing this to holiday blues, but I don't know, maybe he's starting to slip away. I'm still uncertain. I'd rather not drop him because ICly there would be a giant mess, and also I'm very attached to him, but I know where these disjointed feelings lead to. I'm running out of things to do with him.
Plans: Do something.
Dropping? More likely with each passing day.
Eugénie
IC: Cheerful! The holidays went well for Eugénie, despite a few bumps (mistletoe being the big one) but she's in a good mood. She is kind of dreading having to tell Albert about who she kissed, though. (Dante and Fujisaki)
OOC: Doing good! She's not always my primary, but that works fine. I genuinely enjoy playing her, and having her meet new people. She works as a good social character.
Plans: Keep having fun! Do concert posts periodically, because those are fun. Torment Albert.
Dropping? Not unless Franz and Albert do.
Gale
IC: IS OUT AND MEETING PEOPLE AND DOING THINGS ZOMG. Has made some new acquaintances and is learning to direct his efficient tendencies into domestic practices. Really starting to feel like a father to Sera. All in all, Gale's in a good place -- he's not perfectly content, but his thirst for knowledge is yielding some interesting results.
OOC: I recently rewatched a bunch of canon, so Gale's voice is pretty fresh in my mind. His voice is still tough for me, but I absolutely love him and love playing him, so he will likely never be my primary, but that's okay. He's awesome enough that he doesn't need to be. ♥
Plans: Keep doing what I'm doing -- threading gradually, making friendships, learning new things. THREAD WITH MORE KIDS gale loev kids \o/
Dropping? Highly unlikely.
Delita
IC: Still maintaining his snark and jackassery. The only thing that recently shook him a little was the aftermath of his fight with Ashe, where he realized he was projecting on her some things that he hasn't managed to repress in Ovelia's absence. He's planning on apologizing to her for that properly, and by properly I mean in his own special smartass way.
OOC: MY BABY. I. I love Delita so much. I recently got a PSP (!!!) and FFT: War of the Lions (!!!!) for Christmas so I've been replaying canon FINALLY. My original copy of FFT was actually stolen from my brother who eventually stole it back and so I hadn't played it in over a year. (Thank god for youtube and gamefaqs) Having my own ~shiny sexy~ new copy of the game has been wonderful. Also with the re-translation I'm getting some more insight on the political machinations of the plot, which was previously kind of fuzzy in a few places. (Example: I'd totally forgotten who Loffrey was. Go me.)
Plans: KEEP BEING AMAZING. Delita is the character I play for me, because he is my baby. :|b
Dropping? NEVER. Even if I have trouble with him I absolutely cannot drop because the thought of someone else apping him makes me go >E YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM HE'S MINE MINE HISSSSS
Vaan
IC: PUNCHED KRISTOPH GAVIN IN THE FACE FUCK YEAH
OOC: Seriously, that was awesome. I HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYING VAAN AS MUCH AS I SHOULD BE mostly because I'm still recovering from holiday blues and it's very difficult for me to play Vaan when I'm in a bad mood. Because Vaan needs to have some joy to play him. He's my spirit animal, seriously.
Plans: Thread with the AA cast! Take people on rides in his airship now that it's working again. ALSO DO THAT POST WITH THE XII CAST THAT WE KEEP MEANING TO DO BUT FORGET
Dropping? Not in the foreseeable future!
Chikane
IC: Is new, and still settling in. Is too preoccupied by the absence of HIMEKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to really be bothered by the weirdness of camp.
OOC: The fact that I'm playing her hasn't entirely sunk in yet, I think. SHE IS JUST... so special. Playing her is like being on a roller coaster, because she mood swings violently all the time in conversations. ANYTHING CAN TRIGGER HER. ANYTHING. It's amazing. It also makes my head spin sometimes. Also, I kind of feel bad that I renamed her journal, because her original journal name (hairofakiller) was pretty darn hilarious, in retrospect.
Plans: Intro-post at some point. Do lots of retarded things. Be needlessly dramatic and hilarious. Fight club with Kuchiha.
Dropping? I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU GUYS, I'm not seeing Chikane as a long-term character for me. I want to play her just to be funny and do wacky things and be a psychotic lesbian priestess. Because she is naturally a funny character and while I know there is lots of stuff I can do with that, I know there's a limit to her potential. I'M NOT HUGELY BOTHERED BY THIS it is a new experience for me. \o/
So, in order from least likely to most:
Delita > Gale > Eugénie/Vaan > Chikane > Raphael
