Robert Haydn
IC: Robert's a bit bored at the moment. He had a day of vacation time and used it and had fun and all, but not much is going on in camp, so he's a little complacent.
OOC: Robert's been on the backburner! I played him heavily in the fall, to the point where I needed to pull back for a bit. I swap off primaries all the time! He's fine, though. I need to start poking around with him again, but counselors definitely has the promise for things to get interesting with him!
I kind of want to redo his icons, but I haven't installed Photoshop on this computer yet (I still haven't shifted all my desktop files to the laptop yet), plus the manga raws are on a CD-R ... somewhere. But he has a sponsored account and I like his current icons just fine. Laziness will probably trump everything else here.
droppability: ehh, 2-3/10. I really never should say never, but I'd miss him and I like his CR.
Janus Cascade
IC: Janus wavers between liking and hating camp. He's alive again and not all messed up, and that's pretty awesome! But a lot of things are out of his control, which is something he can't stand. He's getting by with harrassing random people and the fighting he's done recently has helped him blow off some steam, at least.
OOC: I still love him and the fact that he actually can form awesome relationships and still be a total jerk and and. I love him. ): I ignored him for a bit last year because I had too many characters but now that I've lightened my load, I've been giving him more attention and I'm so glad. This character seriously makes me happy and love playing again.
Something else I noticed is that he's about to hit 2k! This is significant because I tend to hit 1k with most of my characters fast and then putter out with activity before dropping them. I don't feel this way at all with Janus, which is nice. I think it helps that he's starting to develop some really good CR now (with people I haven't played much with but have wanted to! did I mention how happy I am!).
Also I wish I didn't have to resort to capping youtube for his game icons. I love them, but some of them look a little off on my laptop, and I know there were a few other scenes I wanted to icon but couldn't even get them to look right on my desktop. OH WELL.
droppability: 1/10. I may burn out heavily on him in six months or so! But not right now.
Sanada Akihiko
IC: ... :B
OOC: Apping + travel + RL medical issues = Iiii haven't played him much. I throw him out here and there and I feel like I've got a firm grasp on his voice, but I don't really have the drive to play him? He has stuff he could do with the Persona casts and I could easily post with him, but I haven't really felt like it. And I feel bad that I'm basically sitting on him.
droppability: 8/10. I would rather not give up on him so quickly! But if I haven't really done anything with him in a month or so, I'm going to just let him go quietly.
Four is my new limit. I really can't handle going over five and every time I've hit five recently, I've felt this need to drop. Which is silly! I've whittled down my line-up a lot which concerned me, but in retrospect, I had only three characters around this time last year (Robert, Sakuraba, Death the Kid).
On the positive side! I'm really enjoying playing again, which is good since I went through a period where I felt really dry and lame and ehhh. I think dropping down really helped (A++ advice from tatooine), and the fact that I'm getting back into the Wild Arms games - I will finish Alter Code F, damnit! - has helped fuel my drive to play Janus which in turn makes me excited to play in general.
I have also discovered impulse control. Perhaps I can keep this up! I counted last night and I've apped 31 times over the past (roughly) five years. That's about six apps per year, which is basically an app every other month. That's kind of insane. I would like to curb this and app only characters I can really delve into and make some great and lasting CR without burning out heavily on them. I have a couple more apps in mind, but I think my big focus for this year is going to be to work on developing CR with my characters. So if you've mentioned to me in the past that you've wanted me to jump you (on one of the NUMEROUS memes I've done and then failed at, sob), odds are I will actually do that this year.
