I am at work today completely alone while everyone else is at a holiday lunch meeting. And since we're on break, there are not a lot of students with questions. I amuse myself with memes.
Capell
Is my primary. Surprising no one, I'm sure. I think since I got him in in the middle of October, he missed maybe two days total, between October and November. This month I've been a bit slower, because of finals hiatus and stuff, but I still think there hasn't been longer than three days where Capell wasn't out somewhere. TL;DR I love Capell okay.
ICly Capell is doing pretty good. He has friends in camp, which is new and exciting and different, and he doesn't even feel like he's terribly in danger or anything. And not one person has mistaken him for Sigmund or mentioned how he's not as cool as Sigmund or anything! Sometimes the weirdness of Camp still freaks him out a little, but for the most part he's dealing by going "...okay, this place is weird. Moving on."
Plans: Have him meet girls. His own canon is such crap at female characterization, and so he really needs to learn that hey, girls are cool, and not just because they're pretty and you can kiss them 9-9 As of right now Capell only has two female aquaintances, and he can't call them friends because he's still tip-toeing around them, afraid of doing something wrong. WTG Capell. >->a
Dropping: exceedingly unlikely, even if I already know what his drop post is going to be.
Ladd
Ladd can be really exhausting for me, because he is always crazy, and sometimes really loud about it, and I've often dropped threads where I could see it was going to turn ...ah, ugly. Which sucks and I felt bad about it, because that is so much of who Ladd is. Unfortunately, Camp is pretty much made of "tough punks who don't think they could be killed" and unfortunately for Ladd, almost all of them outgun him significantly. So instead Ladd is sort of backburnery, doing god-knows-what until I need him for punching sharks to death or other similar things. Ladd, at this point, is for comedy only.
ICly Ladd is pretty unhappy. Like I said, Camp is full of the sort of people who are his most favorite person to kill, who he feels a need to kill -- Ladd's desire to kill people who deserve it completely overrides his desire to do pretty much anything else. And yet he is completely unable to. Although I guess there's a possibility somebody might app Lua? That'd make him pretty happy.
Plans: Joint post with Kaiji at some point, being the world's most unlovable fuzzy animals. IDK, terrorize Harry more?
Dropping: I actually feel a lot better about Ladd. I was waffling through October/first half of November something fierce about dropping him or not, because I had no idea what to do with him, but I think I've settled into contentment. He is my comedy backburner, and I'm okay with that. He's really entertaining in the right situations, just very easy to burn out on.
Secret
Is also pretty fun. I was having difficulty with her at first too, but she's getting a lot better. She's making some really fun friends, and growing as a person in a way that is different from in her canon (IE: less turning evil) which is actually really nice.
ICly Secret's doing okay. People like Rabi and Aeris have convinced her she's not evil, and so she's out trying to make friends and believe in herself as much as possible. She is willing to accept pretty much anything about Camp at this point, and half-believes it is a benevolent place that exists to help lonely people make friends. (Only have though, because Devit said something about experiments)
Plans: Get her out more, make more friends, try and strengthen the ones she has, instead of letting them all be sort of glancing things. TALK WITH HER CASTMATES MORE. ^^a
Dropping: No plans atm. Feeling pretty good about her.
Kittan
It took me forever to actually write his app and get it in, and I love him so much, and I feel bad that he doesn't get out more. Like Ladd, he's high-energy and for the most part comedy-only. He's capable of being serious, but most of the time he's a fail-shounen retard, and I like that.
ICly Kittan is good. He makes :UUU face a lot at Camp, but it's Gurren Lagann so he recovers quick and rolls with it. The weirdest part for him is honstly a)Kamina and b)Kinon, but otherwise he accepts things as they are.
Plans: Get him out more, talk to more people. Etc.
Dropping: Nope! I want his activity up, but I like playing him a lot, so I'm going to hold on to him as long as I can.
Arachne
Help I really have no idea what to do with her. I love the character, and I love the show, but I don't feel good about her at all. I wrote the app super last minute, turned it in even though I didn't like it, and then angsted about it all weekend. I had actually just decided to email the mods to ask that they please not post the app at all when Graham told me it'd gone up, so...yeah. I feel like I botched her characterization from the get-go, and I just...I guess I feel really unstable trying to play a character who's such a mystery and for a canon that's still ongoing. I don't feel like I have any liberties at all, because canon might joss me any second.
ICly Arachne's at a bit of a loss. She doesn't have her chainsaw, or her cult, or anything, and instead both her sister and some very powerful shibuusen agents are here. Not really an ideal situation.
Plans: Fail less?
Dropping: E-exceedingly likely. I'm trying to hold out, hoping that the new manga chapter will give me something to work with, because I do really like the character, and I'd feel bad about dropping so soon, but. Yeah I really have no idea what I'm doing. ;;
Yeah, so, a lot of "get out more" in my plans. SO IF YOU WANT TO THREAD WITH ANY OF MINE let me know and I will totally find a reason to jump you. Even Capell, who does not really need any help, but who I love to play.
