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!

/apologies for tl;dr
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
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
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.
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.
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.
