State of the RP;

[intendance]

state of the rp: general Reasonably content with RP at the moment! Morgan tags get to be a...lot, sometimes, but at the same time I love playing her so much that I'm not really concerned about burn-out at all. She's got some fabulous CR. But by far my best decision was apping Mai to Syn (who would've thought, huh...). But I love playing her and I never really thought I'd adore playing an Otome protag so much but I HAVE NO REGRETS AT ALL. Basically, I really am content with RP. There are a few niggling things that bug me sometimes, but they're easily overlooked in favor of having some fun. I am a little discontent sometimes, not with my roster but with...the amount of playing I actually get to do, if that makes sense? I JUST WANT TO PLAY WITH EVERYONE and I don't always manage that, and I think that's sad. I have been museboxing and psl-ing and memeing more than I usually do, and I think that that's been helping a ton with my rping in general. Just getting to play a wider, more varied group of characters in more scenarios has been lots of fun. So thanks, everyone who's been playing with me! ♥
Haven
state of the game My precious home game... I feel a bit bad sometimes because when Haven has an event, I drop everything to focus on that for awhile. It's just so much bigger and faster than Syn, it tends to have my focus most of the time. And then of course there's Morgan. And. Morgan. But I really am perfectly at home and content in Haven. Wouldn't change a thing, and I intend to see it out to endgame, whenever that may be.
	character: Morgan [intendance] age: ~16-17ish series: Fire Emblem: Awakening time played: 1 year, 5 monthsish muse strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I'M REALLY VERY CONTENT WITH PLAYING HER. she's quirky and sometimes I don't manage to portray that, but her varied CR really does work at bringing out all of the Morganness out of her, so I'm really so very glad for that. I'd like to review her supports sometime soon, but that's easily done once I just sit down and do it. Overall, I'm very happy with her! cast strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ Honestly, this cast has gone through so many ups and downs. But I'm perfectly content with Boba and Kia and really couldn't ask for anything more. The only reason it's not full bars is because a part of me will always hold out hope for a daddy Robin (or even a Say'ri which would be incredible), but truthfully, I am really quite happy with this cast as it is. TWIN MORGANS + NOIRE IS THE ONLY CAST I NEED plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Legitimately, I have never seen a single thing I couldn't tag with her in Haven unless she wasn't present or dead or something. Morgan will get involved in just about anything. And on top of that, she's been more and more involved in the metaplot at Haven too, and I'm really so glad for that. It's really exciting for her to try to make an impact! shipping potential: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ | □ □ □ □ □ WELL SHE IS IN A SHIP NOW and she's precious with Oz and I never thought I'd see my dream of a crosscanon ship actually happen but here we are and I'm so glad. Does this mean it should be full squares because it happened or no squares because she's taken? I have no idea. But yes I'm very pleased with her relationship with Oz as it stands, and I'm excited to see how they develop in the future with Haven's...everything... likelihood of drop: □ □ □ □ □ Morgan's proven to be very, very resilient. I doubt there will ever be a time that I have to drop her because she can't function anymore. So we're definitely fine here. Honestly, I intend to keep playing her even after Haven ends. No regrets. development/final thoughts: Morgan has been through so much in Haven that I worry she gets a little...hard to believe. But she really is a blithe sort of person, so the way that she rebounds from the awful horrors of Haven is just the way she is. Truthfully, she's just not going to change that much at this point, and that's fine. I don't really need her to change. My only issue is that the more she ends up getting involved in the metaplot, the more she dies. Please stop dying, Morgan. Death is cheap enough as it is in Haven, this is not casual mode, stop racking up your death count.
	character: Mitsunari Ishida [unbending] age: Apparently 19 (?????) series: Sengoku BASARA time played: 5 months in Haven ; I made his first account back in 2011, so... A LONG TIME OTHERWISE muse strength: ■ ■ ■ □ □ Mitsunari is and always will be a tough character for me to play. He's nothing like my usual character type, and everything from his speaking patterns to his surprisingly complex motivations gives me trouble. But I really have been playing him for a long time. I should just man up and accept that this is how it's always going to be with him. At least I have fun with him, if nothing else. cast strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ how did this happen No seriously, I'm so...happy? Our senbasa cast is incredible. I never expected this to happen at all, but I'm so glad to have Dumb Samurai (and Sakon and Gyoubu for my Toyofam) and everyone is incredible and this section is really just for me to gush about how happy I am about this cast. Everyone, you're awesome. Stay awesome. Never change. I love you all. Honorable mention to Aly and Trap and Seiko for playing such awesome Hakus CR with me too, because that's always been a dream for me and I love it. plotting capabilities: ■ □ □ □ □ WELL I MEAN REALLY. 90% of the time, he doesn't care. It's just a fact. And if he does care, it's because he's full of murderous rage. Which is a little exhausting to play out sometimes, so sometimes I worry that I'm letting him be apathetic too often instead of said murderous rage. But even Mitsunari has to simmer if there's no target to chase down and brutally cut to pieces. So yeah basically, he's not involved at all and I am f i n e with that. shipping potential: □ □ □ □ □ laughs likelihood of drop: □ □ □ □ □ As of right now, no plans are in the works! He only ever has like...10 tags at a time max anyway. Which...still take me longer than all of Morgan's 35 or so. But shhhh, details. Regardless, I'm enjoying playing him, and even if I've been dragging my feet recently because I'm terrified about what this most recent event will do to him, I still don't plan on dropping him. development/final thoughts: Mitsunari is a tough person for me to play, basically. And on top of that, this recent event really has done a number on his mentality. The only thing that could ever get to him is forgetting his loyalties...and lo and behold... THANKS, HAVEN. But regardless, I'm gonna keep pushing through it and hopefully he can pull together the shattered pieces of samurai to keep on going. Which he will. This is basically canon at this point, honestly.
Synodiporia
state of the game Boy Syn makes me so uncertain sometimes. I still love the concept, and I love the logs and the things we do, but it feels so...stagnant, sometimes. It feels like there is so much more discussion about the scenario than any actual RPing, and I think that's because the same 30 or 40 people are the ones...rping... so I'm really hopeful that some fresh blood in October will really help stir up the game a bit. After all, I still love the concept and the CR I have is fantastic and I'M GOING TO KEEP TAGGING AROUND AND TRYING TO SETTLE INTO THIS GAME. Overall, though, I have had fun with the tagging that's been done, so I'm glad I've gotten to play here! The amount of thought that goes into the jaunts and liminal space set-up is honestly awe-inspiring to me.
	character: Mitsuhide Luen [aideing] age: 23 series: Akagami no Shirayukihime time played: 3 months muse strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Honestly, I feel very solid with Mitsuhide. He's very straightforward, his speaking patterns are easy, his mother hen tendencies are part of my favorite thing to play out, and it helps that there are a lot of kids for him to mother hen in Syn. And adults to bond with. Everything is excellent. cast strength: ■ ■ ■ □ □ Kia is a flawless and wonderful Kiki, what more could I ask for? If Lucy apps Shirayuki we'll be an even more incredible cast. Obviously I'd kill for a Zen or an Obi, but aside from that, I'm really just so happy with the cast and potential cast as it stands. Best castmates forever. plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ He's competent but silly, a combination that leads to a lot of opportunities and chances in any game, I think, especially one with a lighter premise. He's definitely very mother-hen-y, which is also one of my character types, so he'll probably harass people who need to take care of themselves better. (that's one of my favorite CR types shhhh). shipping potential: □ □ □ □ □ He's in love with Kiki, okay. That's probably never going to change. likelihood of drop: □ □ □ □ □ Not at the moment, nope. development/final thoughts: I really do love playing Mitsuhide; the problem is that compared to Mai, it really has been a struggle to get him out there and get CR. It's halfway through the month now, and I still don't have AC with him, which is...really weird and uncomfortable for me, honestly! But I think that part of it is just the way this jaunt is set up, with everyone divided as they are. I'll keep on trucking with him and hopefully next jaunt will be better for gathering him some CR! I really love the CR he does have, and I love playing him, so I'm not concerned about that in the least.
	character: Mai [upcard] age: 19 series: Amnesia time played: 2 months muse strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ She's...strangely easy and strangely worrisome all at once. I do wish that the game was localized, because that would make my life incredibly easier, but nonetheless, she's not that complicated a person. Clearly the number of people who look at her and go "are you crazy" means I'm doing it right. cast strength: ■ ■ □ □ □ I have Ukyo, and I don't really need much else! It's fun playing her off of...well, everyone, so I don't really need much more of a cast, and honestly, I'm not expecting more Amnesia apps any time soon. And that's a-okay by me. She's the easiest person in the world to net good cross-canon CR with. plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ Brawling aside, she's very involved! Which is nice, honestly. Just by merit of being there, she gets involved and interested in things, and she's so determined and stubborn that she refuses to give up, no matter what's in her way. Which is great! Even scenarios like the pirate ship and the kraken, where she's not doing much more than huddling in a corner being horrified, is interesting. It's fun to play out a normal person having normal reactions to things. I just hope people don't get tired of saving her butt over and over, h-hahaha. shipping potential: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Otome protag. Does anything else really have to be said... she's had tons of cute threads, and I'm so glad for that. I'll ship her with everyone with no regrets. You go, Mai. Have a new boyfriend every new world, it's canon. likelihood of drop: □ □ □ □ □ NOPE I think apping Mai into Syn is what has allowed me to actually feel involved and settled in the game, so dropping her would be super counterintuitive. Also, she's just fun and her tags are some of the tags I look forward to the most out of all of them. development/final thoughts: Who would've thought playing an otome protag was so fun? I certainly didn't. But I'm glad that I did app her and that I'm playing her now. She's been a challenge to play, to make her interesting and not too pathetic without removing her actually base characterization, but I think so far so good? Maybe? Regardless, I'm looking forward to playing with her getting more of her memories back and growing as a person more, and also the entire jaunt mechanics. I'm looking forward to all of that for sure, and she's...well, she's on the verge of a breakdown, but otherwise she's just fine! Hahahahaha. Poor otome protag.
Homeless
apping plans Not a whole lot going on in this section, surprisingly. By which I mean there are a lot of people I want to play with and a lot of places I want to play, but only one character I'm actually dying to play at the moment... hm. The difficulty is...where to play him. So honestly, if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Sell me your games!
	character: Abe no Sousei [deontology] age: 24 series: Donten ni Warau time played: N/A muse strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ I'm starting to trend towards Adults Who Act Like Adults on the male side of things, and moe girls on the female side of things. I don't mind this trend at all though. Sousei is fun! He's stoic and serious but just when you think I've gone back to my emotionally constipated characters roots, he's not. He's actually a very well-adjusted person, and very sensible, and I appreciate that quite a lot. Also, he's just fun. His dynamic with people is super interesting, and there's all sorts of things I want to play. cast strength: ■ ■ ■ □ □ N/A at the moment, though if I do end up dragging along dearest as Tenka and Timpeni as Chuutarou and Trap as Soramaru, what else could we need? Clearly Sousei always needs the Kumou family to take care of and look out for. That said, he'll probably never actually get any of his Yamainu nakama, but...I ACCEPT THIS...regretfully. plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ He's unlikely to get involved with stupid things. And honestly, that's a godsend. Because otherwise, he'll do his duty, which he sees as protecting those who can't protect themselves. He's a very strong-willed person, which is something I find fascinating. So though he's a little stoic and quiet, I think he'll be able to get plenty involved. shipping potential: ■ □ □ □ □ The mangaka once listed the characters and whether or not they'd have girlfriends. There were "has had a girlfriend" and "hasn't had a girlfriend" as categories. And then there was Sousei Who just got the word "work" instead. Not saying it's impossible, but... well, it's kind of almost impossible. likelihood of drop: □ □ □ □ □ N/A! development/final thoughts: There are a lot of things I'd like to play out with Sousei. He's not the sort of character I usually play, and he has a lot of possibilities. Being from the Meiji era (and captain of the 'yamainu', i mean really), playing him off of Shinsengumis is kind of a dream for me. There's also the fact that as a captain who puts peoples' safety first, he'll be the sort to organize defense groups or the like or do whatever it takes to keep people safe, which is interesting and something I'd like to explore. And basically this manga ripped out my heart and stomped on it a bit, okay, I just want to play him. I just want to play him. He's had a really hard life, though. I'm not sure I have a lot of interest in tormenting him too badly in any game, for what it's worth.
