It's beautiful outside, and I'm stuck doing taxes~

...Well, I should be doing my taxes, but I'm only slowly making progress. Pfft. Since I'm bored, and honestly kinda curious, I'll open up a question for my RP flist:

List all of your RP characters that you have dropped in a game you're still in. You can also add why you dropped or struggled with them or your current interest level in the character, if you want.

I think it's kinda fun to see past fandoms and who you were inspired enough to play. Let's see...

luceti
Ion (Tales of the Abyss) -- I believe I actually apped Ion before I apped Albert. I would have to look back and check on that. I had already played Sync and the original Fon Master Ion at that time (and I would go on to play Florian too), so I wanted to try out Ion. ...Turns out he's not really my kind of character. :|; As for current interest level ... I have no interest in trying him again. He's too innocent and dependent on others.
.
Frederic Francois Chopin (Eternal Sonata) -- Eternal Sonata was still fairly new at the time, and I had recently finished the game, with Frederic being my favorite. Apping him ended up having the dreaded bandwagon-and-drop effect; I had Polka, Waltz, and Fugue as castmates, and then they all inexplicably faded away. So I dropped Frederic. And now I'd have to replay the game to feel confident with his character again.

Reno (Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children) -- ...I don't think I can ever properly justify why I dropped Reno. I liked his character, I liked how he would troll both the FF7 and KH casts, and I liked making him a badass. I think I just felt bad that I wasn't active enough with his character for such an active and excellent FF7 cast. If I knew with confidence that I could handle playing four characters, I'd consider playing him again.

Leon D.S. Geeste (Star Ocean 2) -- Oh Leon. It took me forever to hit a stride with Leon -- three apps, two separate cases of him needing to be reintroduced to Luceti, and one actual drop. I played up his intelligence way too much in the beginning and could never get out of the web I created after that, so he faded and went quiet and all that. I have been very glad that my struggling with his character allowed him the opportunity to leave Luceti and return so many times though, developing from a 12-year-old to a 14-year-old. ...Aaand since I'm playing him again, I'd say my interest level is still intact!

Interesting question indeed. :D I think I'll snag this one~! o/

Yay! \o/ Glad it piques your interest!

luceti
Ninian (Fire Emblem 7) - I know I had been tempted to pick her up for a while (due to enjoying the CR I had with Mark, and helping out Mark as a character), and she was very soft and quiet and I just wanted to try my hand at her. Unfortunately I made a lot of mistakes - starting from her timeperiod/intro and just not getting her really there enough, and even after she had an Eliwood she faded out on me. I still feel guilt though; I never like dropping.

Madam Musette (Tales of Legendia) - I played her in the Tales of Dressing room first, and she was a strong muse there. Unfortunately I think the beginning of the end for her was when I brought her into Luceti, although she did have a strong run for a while and thankfully lasted a year. I'm kind of sad that the Ferines crew kind of got together after she left in her house, since I still think of it as her house. Just gives me a little twinge of the heartstrings now and again, and for her other CRs too. But it took a lot of effort, toward the end...

Wow, Ninian... I remembered we had Eliwood and Mark, but somehow I forgot Ninian. Now we've only got Lyn left.

I remember you saying you wanted to hang on to Musette until she reached her on-year anniversary. I do remember being disappointed that the muse suffered by her being brought to Luceti; she was a very involved character in the DR, and she needed to build everything in different circumstances in Luceti.

She was pretty quiet overall, so it's understandable. Quieter than Hikari even, I bet.

I remember that we've talked about that for a bit. It was sad because her relationships with the legendiacast were so different in the DR, and they just didn't feel like they built as well in Luceti. But that was also around the time we faded out of playing in the DR in general.

This is pretty interesting ... I think I'll be taking it too. -- oh wait, it's supposed to be listed here. /derps. I'LL WORK ON IT :|b Might be a little long though.

And wow, you played Ion in Luceti at one point? /never knew

You can do it either way! If you want to post it on your journal, maybe others on your flist will do it. :P

Pfff, I might have to anyway, honestly. I have a long list.

Hey, this looks like fun. ♥

memento_eden
Mithos Yggdrasil (Tales of Symphonia): I had always loved Mithos, and well... playing him at an amnesiac game seemed like fun. He was amazing, and I enjoyed playing him - and his ship with his girlfriend! - but I dropped him because he remembered so much that he was turning back into canon!Mithos, and I didn't think I could handle it. =/ I still play him in DRs from time to time, but I don't think I could pick him up again without him going psycho about his gf.

Kukai Souma (Shugo Chara!): I'd watched the series, and Kukai had been my favorite character, so I said, "why not?" He, in turn, ended up being one of my best and favorite muses. I dropped him because I was leaving ME back in November. Since I still play him at

dear_mun and other DRs, I'd say I'm confident enough to play him again... it's just been ages.

Mia Fey (Ace Attorney): This was a complete whim, not even gonna lie. There was a nearly full-fledged AA cast at ME back in the day, with Godot and Phoenix and Maya and Dahlia and even Edgworth, and they wanted a Mia. So I figured I'd try her out. ... Problem was, I was too insecure playing a grown woman when I was maybe what fourteen? Fifteen? This eventually led to me dropping her because I second-guessed every. single. tag. I'd ever had. I play her at

rivelata right now, so I guess she's doing well!

Olette (Kingdom Hearts): Ah, one of my absolute favorite muses! I apped Olette when I first came into ME and she was a complete delight. The only reason I dropped her was because I left ME. When I came back, so did she... and we haven't looked back since.

rivelata
Mary Jane "MJ" Watson (Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane): It was so much fun while it lasted, since there was also a Peter Parker. The two naturally hit it off - awkwardly - and they became a couple around Christmastime. Problem was, Peter-mun had had issues with the game, and when Peter left... so did MJ. I'd still love to play MJ again, but I'd need a Peter to pull it off again.

permanent_way
Gabriella Montez (High School Musical): Turns out Gabriella is insanely hard to play without a Troy. I had a lot of fun with her while she was on the train, but eventually her muse bit the dust... so I let go. =/ I haven't played her since, so I'd probably have to re-watch the movie again.

I'd do it in my f-list, but I'm too lazy to make a new post at 8:34 am so~ /adds to your comments

luceti
Sasuke (Suikoden II) - I remember apping Sasuke because of the silly reason that since I had Futch in another game, and there was an existing Luc, all we needed now is a Sasuke to complete them all. Of course, we never did get a Futch in Luceti, sadly. The trouble I ran into was more of not knowing what to do with him aside from trolling and being somewhat tsundere. That, and to be honest, comparing him to some of the anthologies, I probably played him too seriously. Not to say I'll make him any derpier if I ever try my hand at him again, since for me he's not really that derpy. Not going to pick him up any time soon though, but interest is still there.

Aslan Frings (Tales of the Abyss) - Okay, I admit, I only apped him because of the promise of a Jozette, and Frings was always a fairly strong muse I have even if I never really played him much. When Jozette's mun told me she'd rather play in D_F, I moved, but then I didn't find the game fun enough to stay in (and the mun wasn't active anyway so it was like how he was in Luceti) so I eventually dropped him out of boredom. I'd probably play him in 4th walls and dear_mun, but not in an actual game, if only because the only game I'd play him in is Luceti, and I already said I won't app anyone in Luceti for a long time to avoid ever dropping another character due to necessity.

Alfons Heiderich (FMA: COS) - I wasn't smart enough, and I always forgot about those damned rockets of his. Alfons always struck me as an interesting character despite his very short cameo, so I thought I'd give him a try. Turns out, I'm too lazy to research something each time just to see if he knows what it is because of his time period, and general disinterest in trying to get him to develop because I keep thinking he's already given up on everything by then, and that's not a good thing for a character as ambitious as he is. Again, 4th walls and dear_mun, but probably not in a game again unless I'm confident I'll actually research.

Hyuuga (07-Ghost) - He's a troll, and a fun troll, but I get too bored of trolling people easily. I think the main problem I ran into with Hyuuga is his inability to develop without an Ayanami. The thing is, while he has his own personality, his decisions and actions are normally dictated by or because of the guy, and thus without him, he's just a bored troll trying to wait for someone to try beating him up for his pranks. (Not that he ever thinks they'll succeed though) Added to the fact that he's not really the baddy-bad guy like these crazy villains coming in. He's just annoying. I'd play him again though, but not in Luceti. I'll probably send him to Wawars where he can at least have an excuse to kill people without Ayanami's orders.

Razette (07-Ghost) - Oh Razette, my pretty Razette, and one I still would play again if I could, but only when I'm sure I can handle another character without losing my RP drive entirely. My only reason for dropping her is that I'm trying to get my RP drive again, and since she's the type of character that needs a lot of attention and energy, as well as not really having any direction except to finally learn how to communicate without being misunderstood (which is good and all, but <.<;;;) I decided it's probably best I let go of her for now. Would I play her again? Definitely. Just not now. :|;

luceti
Zell Dincht (Final Fantasy VIII) - My very first character at Luceti. I can't remember what it was that compelled me to play him, especially since I hadn't played the game in years. I don't think I ever got the hang of him, because he didn't turn out as fun as I thought he'd be, so it was a combination of all that that led to dropping. I'd probably never play him again. He's just... not my kind of character.

Angeal Hewley (Final Fantasy VII) - Uhh. Wow. I don't know why I dropped him. I think I just got tired of playing from Final Fantasy in general, and while I liked writing him, I was bored of the fandom, I guess. If I replayed the game, I might consider playing him again.

Gremio (Suikoden) - I always felt strange playing Gremio when he wasn't interacting with Ted or McDohl. For me, he relied on them way too much, so interacting with other people made me feel awkward and uncomfortable. I don't think I'd ever put him in a game again.

Lazlo (Suikoden IV) - I loved playing Lazlo, but despite the point he was taken from, he was still way more quiet than he was supposed to be. That, and the fact that I could never find a distinct voice for him made me really shy about him, so... eh. I'd like to play him again, but only if he was my only character, so I could focus on him more.

Hakuren Oak (07-Ghost) - Hakuren is an awesome character. I thought he'd be easy to play since his personality is really close to Caesar's, and that was true, but um... maybe not in the same game. xD It felt to me like anything I could do with Hakuren I could just do with Caesar, so it hadn't worked out as well as I thought it would. A re-read of the manga and I'd like to play him again, but probably in a different game.

I didn't realize that you were Luceti's Angeal!

/the more you know

Yup, that was me! It's been such a long time since then. xD

I also did not know this. |D; It threw me for a loop when I saw it.

Oh wow. I didn't expect to throw everyone off with that! xD

I am the only one who knows this, clearly.

Also, you forgot Jessie, Trap. 8|

We talked about this before I made my comment. That doesn't count!

...hey. I'm sorry I don't have a fancy edit button anymore. ;_; For every one thing I forget, you forget twenty. There is no victory here, Reine. :|

/will stop editing one day

I knew you played Angeal the whole time before you mentioned it. I also remembered Jessie. :|

Actually, it's more like 100:1, but then I'm forgetful by nature because I emo more often then I smile, and emo-ing takes away memory-cells, while you are the opposite. Therefore there is victory. :|d

Edited 2010-04-12 15:18 (UTC)

You're just trying to make me jealous. :(

Don't be silly. I forget I played Angeal sometimes. That's more stuff you're forgetting!

...what. STOP SPAMMING, REINE, GOODNESS. I am unsure of my ability to spell, oh dear.

... Over an edit button?

100 is me, Trap. For every 100 I forget, you forget only one. :|; I forget everything. Since I didn't forget this and you did, I win.

Was there a spelling error? /didn't see it

I'm not spamming you, I'm spamming Athena because of you. Shame on you, Trap.

luceti

Rei (Breath of Fire III) I didn't understand LJ RP at the time, so I figured it was best to let him go. I am playing him in another game.

Devil Sword: (Devil&Devil) I honestly love playing Sword, but without an Ios he sort of loses his edge. That, and I was still new to LJ RPing and didn't know what the hell I was doing. Would I play him again? Totally. Just not in Luceti.

Tison (Tales of Vesperia) I just couldn't hit my stride with him. :|; Probably wouldn't play him again.

Michelle (Infinite Undiscovery) Her cast kind of died so I just decided to let her go. I might app her again, but I'd have to drop some of my other characters.

Nero the Sable (Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus) Wrong game. Wrong time. I've discovered that in playing Nero, I need a damn Weiss or the muse either a) goes nuts, or b) throws himself into a depression and doesn't do anything. I'd app him into a game with a Weiss, but I think I'd have to know the player or it would just be very awkward for me.

Florian (Tales of the Abyss) Hardest thing I've ever had to do. But at the time, I just sort of lost my drive for him. It's since come back, but I'm wondering if I should bring him back.

... Damn, I've dropped more characters than I thought I did.

... Let's see if I can remember everyone.

luceti

Maria Robotnik (Sonic the Hedgehog) This was my first muse in Luceti, one I carried over from Avoria. She was fun, sweet and charming, and had plenty of opportunity to find different things to post about. Her main problem was that she contrasted with Stella a bit too much, and when I weighed out who was less important enough to be dropped, Maria took the fall. I still want to play her, but I don't want her to fight with Stella's character again.

Yuri Shibuya (Kyo Kara Maoh!) While I had played him before Luceti, I felt like I wasn't doing the kid justice. Yuri is my favorite character in the series, and he's so awesome and derpy, and I felt like I wasn't playing him to show that kind of thing. I still miss the kid, but until I really tap into him and figure out what he's really like, he's gonna have to stay on the shelf.

Goku (Saiyuki) Now, he was fun. Fun loving with a heart for food. Strains with his castmates was the beginning of his downfall (what with Sanzo and Gojyo mostly doing their own plot and not paying attention to Goku and Hakkai, which annoyed me so much |D; ), and me starting to lose his voice brought it down more. I was the classic case of not feeling like I was playing him right, so. If I reread Saiyuki/Reload, I'd probably get the muse back, but my God that's a lot to read. :(

Vera Misham (Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice) Simply put, she was too avoidant of the outside world/the people in it. She had few friends and wasn't particularly looking for more. That, and it was a little hard to get her threads/posts done, what with her mostly communicating through pictures and me being a lazyass when it come to that. She was cute and I loved playing her, but I don't think I can take it up again.

Felix (Golden Sun) A few friends and I got the awesome idea to app Golden Sun characters into Luceti! Turned out that wasn't the best idea, as we all dropped them pretty fast. While it was fun to read fics and play with the idea of doing it myself, they just don't have enough personality or history to be played in a roleplay, I think. Especially Isaac and Felix, who get stuck as silent protagonists.

Cinderpelt (Warriors) She sort of avoids humans, too, but that wasn't my main issue. It was more like the case with Yuri - I felt like I wasn't giving her the justice that she deserved. I still try to figure out how she'd fit in, and it'd probably take a reread of the series to get her character nailed. But with the way Luceti currently is... I don't think she belongs there.

Angela (Gargoyles) Angela didn't have much of a voice to begin with, so it was mostly a mistake on my part to app her. She posted a couple of times, and I dropped her soon after. I didn't relate to her and find her voice enough to keep her, nor do I think I ever will.

Elisa Maza (Gargoyles) My last shot at playing the fandom I love. Elisa actually stuck around a little longer, but my take on her voice faded out fast. Sometimes I still miss playing that cop who has a soft side but is still pretty jaded, yet I don't think I'll be able to do it again.

... I think that's it?

My list is... very very short because I tend to keep characters until the bitter end unless I have a really good reason not to. XD;

luceti
Seymour Guado (Final Fantasy X) -- I love Seymour, I really do. I love playing him, but I found I just cannot keep up with his level of creepy in a comment-based game where I have to reply to dozens of tags in a single post. In a forum- or log-based game, fine. Just not in something like Luceti. He's still there as a muse and I still play him in an old private game a few friends and I have going on, but chances are I won't be bringing him back to Luceti.
