character: once_knighted
series: Tales of Vesperia
tagging priority: ■■■■■: When I'm in the mood for tags, his are cleared up first.
muse strength: ■■■■■: That little bit of uncertainty I had has been cleared up. Of course, I know I'm not perfect by any stretch of the word with his character, but I'm back to that level of confidence where I'm not fretting over every tiny thing anymore. Of course, I still worry from time to time, but that's just because I'm me.
cast strength: ■■□□□: The cast took a hit with the drops it had, and while I still love the castmates I still have, it ... does feel emptier. It's weird. I mean, the cast in general tends to have a bit of a "distance" problem of sorts, but with several members of it gone, now it actually ... feels like it has it. It's not because of one person or whatever - I know that I'm doing it too, mostly out of laziness and also due to Yuri not having anything to say/bring up in posts that aren't in his interests. Buuut that's likely because I myself am like that. What's going on isn't making people OOC and isn't character breaking or anything - it just feels ... quiet. Maybe I should try to initiate plots or something via deidon_jr during Christmas break, before my winter session classes start. I don't know.
plotting capabilities: ■■■■■: He's not as jaded and closed as he was during his three year stay at Luceti, so it's easier to get him out there and talking to completely new people now. Since he's in charge of Brave Vesperia again, he'll more or less be forcing himself to talk to people more, if only so the guild can gain more of a presence through him.
general fun level: ■■■■■: I just love RP-ing the guy, so all of his threads are fun to me.
likelihood of drop: □□□□□: /nope.avi
character: hackedcode
series: Ar Tonelico II
tagging priority: ■■■■□: Usually dead even with Yuri, but sometimes she wins out if she has less than him at the time.
muse strength: ■■■□□: I'm still shaky with her, as I'm pretty sure I'm occasionally playing her a bit too much like Yuri when her threads get too relaxed. It's happening less, though (as far as I can tell), and I'm hoping her characterization continues to stray away from Yuri's and stays as her own. Part of me thinks it's nervousness because she is one of the most important characters in the Ar Tonelico trilogy, though. I'll just have to keep going and see what kind of reactions she gets on the game's HMD.
cast strength: ■■□□□: Only one castmate, but considering I'm used to flying solo when it comes to playing an Ar Tonelico character in Luceti, that alone is amazing.
plotting capabilities: ■■■■■: I've got a ton of ideas for her still.
general fun level: ■■■□□: Her cold attitude and occasional tsun-ing is a lot of fun to play with. Since she was literally "Evil Sealed In A Can" for 350 years, she also has a bit of innocence in the sense that there's a lot of interactions/personal experiences she knows next to nothing about. That's also a lot of fun to play around with.
likelihood of drop: ■□□□□: I don't want to do that any time soon, but as it stands right now ... Well, if I were to become too busy, she'd be the first to get the ax. People have joked around, calling her "female Yuri", and while I know it's just a joke, I think it may be affecting how I see her characterization. Or, in other words, I might be looking at her similarities to Yuri's attitude and thinking that it's me adding things that aren't supposed to be there, when they are. I'm sure I'll get past it when she's more settled and gains her own CR/forms her own little life in Luceti, but if I don't, then she may not last much longer than 6 months.
character: lovearchangel
series: Disgaea 4
tagging priority: N/A
muse strength: ■■■□□: Playing Disgaea 4 again will likely fix the characterization issues I have with her right now, but for now, I'd be kind of uncomfortable apping her. Having no urge to play Disgaea at the moment isn't helping this.
cast strength: ■■□□□: There's an Adell and a Valvatorez, and I'd be happy to play off of both of them :(
plotting capabilities: ■■■■■: Flonne is everywhere.
general fun level: ■■■■■: See above.
likelihood of app: ■■□□□: Seeing my schedule for next term, I'll definitely have the time to play her, but ... Well, I'll try to fix things for her before I make a decision. I really do want to bring her back, especially now that she's an archangel, but I don't want another Leon or Rika situation. I don't want to bring back a character just because I happened to think it'd be cool to at the time when I didn't really have their characterization back completely.
character: 13yeareign
series: Fate/Extra
tagging priority: N/A
muse strength: ■■■■□: I think I'm still in "shiny and new" mode with her. I'd need to actually test her out before I can really tell if her characterization is as strong as it feels.
cast strength: N/A
plotting capabilities: ■■■■■: SABER DEMANDS ENTERTAINMENT!!!1 No seriously, she'll bitch her brains out if she isn't constantly doing something.
general fun level: ■■■□□: I can see her being a lot of fun. She's wise but some things sail right over her head, she shows a lot of selflessness and courage but is incredibly selfish at the same time, she makes very good battle decisions but sometimes needs to be held back due to her really, really bad ones, she comes off as noble but is also incredibly haughty ... all in all, she'd be a lot of fun.
likelihood of app: ■■■□□: I really, reaaaaally want to app her, but I need to finish Fate/Extra, first. I also need to practice her, to make sure I really can play someone as haughty and selfish as she can get.
In closing, I think I'm officially comfortable with RP again. There are still times where I look at my tags and think "do I really want to do this?", but a small break makes those kinds of thoughts go away pretty quick.
