I've gone so back and forth with Umeda over the years, but the fact is, if I've had him two years I'm not going to drop him for a hell of a long time if ever. I mean, I like to acknowledge that it could happen sometime, because the two characters I've said "I'll never drop them!" I eventually ran out of ... their story in camp for me to tell. So I don't really want to say it in case it's a jinx *g*
But while Umeda's often my backburner character -- with temporary spurts of incredibly, insanely active -- he's one of the most consistantly comfortable characters for me. I mean, I totally welcome crit if people think I'm out of character, but I feel very comfortable with his voice and just with having him here. He might not be last on my order of drops, because I have others I desperately want to keep, but he's also just the one I'm most likely to keep like a comfortable old sweater.
I've loved the character just agbout forever, so as far as character love goes, too, he's much more like the old married ....character instead of the new passionate steamy lover character. XD

I hate to say it, but if I had to drop anyone right now it'd be Marly. I don't want to, nor do I feel the need to drop anyone right now -- I'm pretty satisfied with my current state of affairs -- but with Marly I've reached a point where I don't feel I have very much to say with him. He sort of has become very status quo for me.
That said, I still enjoy playing him! So I don't plan to drop him any time soon. I like his voice and the things I can do with him. I'm not getting many new ideas, but a lot of my old ones still feel comfortable and enjoyable.

The Riku Replica is, if not last on my list of drops, tied for last. I think a lot of players have a character they consider to be their, well, baby. And the replica is undeniably, in that light, my baby. His story makes my heart bleed. I want to give him hearts and loves and cuddles somuch. Having him and getting to watch him change and grow makes me just s-so happy. I AM A GIANT SAP and, to be fair, it's not that I don't like to make him miserable. I DO. I REALLY DO. THAT MAKES ME HAPPY. But I like to see him grow and overcome and have a chance to live.
S-so yeah. Uh. I've never once considered dropping him.
Yeah.

If any character tied for the Riku Replica for least likely to drop, it'd be Heat.
Here's a funny story about me apping Heat. I got the games while visiting Zazzle last year in early december, and started playing a week or two after I got back. Within a couple of hours I knew i wanted Heat. I LOVED HEAT. I was filled with a sudden terrible conviction -- despite there being barely any DDS apps since the game began -- that if I didn't app Heat right then someone else would get him before me and I'd be devastated. So I played desperately until I beat both games -- while working full time -- and then apped the next available counselor round.
I played him really intensely for my first half year or so. For a few months, after Cielo dropped and especially bad right before we got a Serph, he became a serious backburner character and I was worried I might end up going down the dropping path, because he had so little of the things that drove him for me to work with. Heat is a guy who is driven by three things -- Sera, Serph, and hunger. and without Sera and Serph, I was pretty much playing strongly after the hunger angle. I mean, he still thought and talked about Sera all the time, but ...yeeeaaah. And then we got an awesome Serph and I have never been in a happier place with Heat.

You know, I'm in an interesting position with Hibari, because I have not, from the moment I apped him, ever intended to play him the way I normally play characters, and he is never to be my primary. My reason for this is that Hibari is so fundamentally uninterested in interacting with -- particularly in bonding with you miserable herd animals (ie, everyone ever), that if I tried to play him jumping posts normally, trying to make 'hooks' with other people, I'd feel OOC and probably end up dropping out of discomfort with the character. He hates people, after all, and has no interest in making friends.
Instead, I keep Hibari in reserve as my "force of nature" character. He's kind of like an Ichijou-san, except that his crazy is grounded, not flighty. Hibari exists entirely to show up either when he's needed or when he's the last person in the world anyone would want there. If he shows up when needed, he does the thing people hope for (probably beating someone up), then bites to death the people who'd been hoping he'd show up. Hibari doesn't have a cabin -- nobody knows where he is at any given time. He does not sleep, he waits.
Basically, to maintain Hibari as a playable character for me, I play him as a bomb to drop on threads and posts. I have a LOT of post ideas with Hibari, one of which I'd been planning to make the very day my computer died, so I'm kind of frustrated with the fact that I've had no computer for, what, a week and a half? Going on ntwo weeks? CHE. But even all his posts are gimmicks, essentially, because he doesn't post to interact with people -- he posts because he wants to play a game, or feels like beating some people, or needs to express his displeasure with the current state of affairs. I'm actually surprised he's got as many comments as he has -- I'm pleased, though.
So in short, I'm comfortable with Hibari, and I haven't considered dropping him -- despite the fact that I was aware that if he didn't fit I'd end up having to drop him really fast, because of the type of character he is. That can change, and I'm totally aware that if I slip a little he'll become basically unplayable, so if I start to lose his voice that's probably game over right there. He's high on my list of "if I had to drop, I'd drop..." for that reason, and because he's not a character I play for the interactions, really. Fortunately, it's not an issue.

SOB I LOST MY COMPUTER A MATTER OF DAYS AFTER GETTING LEXAEUS THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING I AM SO AFRAID I'LL LOSE HIS VOICE BEFORE I GET A CHANCE TO GET USED TO IT, JUST BECAUSE OF THE GODDAMN COMPUTER.
Ahem. Okay, so here's the thing -- I've wanted to play Lexaeus for about a year now, and was actually the failed app back in June's batch as well -- this one was a reapp. I loved playing him the little I've been able to so far -- he's very comfortable, steady, and easy for me to play. Please crit me hard and fast if I seem OOC, because I really want to do him justice.
I don't -- given how new he is -- have any picture of how his play will go or any urges I'll get to drop. Given how comfortable he feels and how long I've wanted him, I certainly hope it'll be a long long time before I want to, though.
