State of the RP;

[kalisona]

state of the rp: general Busy busy busy! Life has admittedly kept me running in circles lately, which means my RP game has not been too strong recently (and I have to start thinking of making the proper cuts where need-be). Still, I'll keep working hard to get things to work out. When I have time to RP I really love my threads and characters, so it's not a question of motivation or anything, at least. God I'm so tired. Even right now I'm doing this instead of my tags because I'M SO TIRED.
Cerealia
state of the game Home game, eternal game. I do still love Cerealia, I love all of my threads, I love all of my CR, I LOVE EVERYTHING.......... I don't know what to put here that isn't embarrassing gushing tbh. Thank you all for playing with my losers.
	character: Abe no Sousei [deontology] age: 24 series: Donten ni Warau time played: 1 year WHOO muse strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I'm pretty confident in playing Sousei these days! A lot of him is still very...Sousei, even despite all of the development he's had in Cerealia. He's 150% my character type and I love him and I love that everyone will play with him and overall, I feel really solid here! Gonna canon update him to change things up soon, and that should be fun too. cast strength: ■ ■ ■ □ □ I think if I had to describe my feelings on castmates in a word it'd be: satisfied. I'm really satisfied with what I get to play out with my castmates, and don't really feel the need for more or anything. I'm just happy with the drama I've gotten to play out! plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ □ □ He's not going to get involved in really dumb things, that's just a fact of him being a Responsible Adult (I say, as he gets involved in really dumb things). The thing is, Cerealia as a game is geared towards forcing everyone to be involved in everything, so he's been really easy to throw around so long as things are happening. I'm happy with where he is here, too! Also he has compiled a bizarre amount of plot info in his time here... people just keep bringing him more and more metaplot info??? I really need him to hand it out to more people, so he's not just sitting on it HAHAHA. EVERYONE TRUSTS SOUSEI TOO MUCH. shipping potential: ■ □ □ □ □ Honestly, despite how much fantastic CR he has, the answer is Not Much. That's okay though, I'm really just happy and satisfied to watch him build all sorts of new CR and watch where it goes. He has great chemistry with so many characters, he's just....Sousei........ fun level: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ if the way that i plurk about all of his threads and plurk about dnw all the time and throw him around too much isn't obvious, i love playing Sousei to death. likelihood of drop: □ □ □ □ □ Nahhhhhhhh. Sousei's tags give me life. development/final thoughts: A year later and Sousei is.....still very Sousei. Very lineface, very solemn, and yet he's loosening up a bit and chilling out. He's finding characters who he'll tease or poke at and who do the same to him, and it's my favorite thing. Slowly, he's chilling out. Thank god. He's still very Sousei, naturally, so he's a buzzkill lineface in all ways BUT HEY, HE'S NOT 1000% BUZZKILL ANYMORE. I don't actually have any plan or desire for his development at the moment, so I'm happy with this.
	character: Ruby Rose [undaunts] age: 15 series: RWBY time played: 6 months! muse strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I FEEL BETTER. I was struggling with finding my footing with her for awhile, but now I feel a lot more solid with her. There are still some of her verbal tics and general mannerisms that I struggle to replicate in RP, but that's a small thing that I can keep on working with in all of her tags. As for her as a character, I feel really solid with her and that in turn has made throwing her around way easier. I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS. cast strength: ■ ■ ■ □ □ We've lost a bunch of people recently, but honestly I don't need a whole lot to be happy. Ruby's got Yang which is good for her stability, but otherwise she just kind of keeps adopting people into their cast whether they're castmates or not. SO WE'RE GOOD HERE. plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Honestly, she's basically a shounen protag and I have no excuses to not get her involved in everything. I'll keep tossing her around everywhere, just wait for me. No escape. shipping potential: ■ ■ ■ □ □ CLUTCHES FACE I mean she's a 15 year old girl who is far more interested in weapons than romance, but I feel like she's doing very well for herself and if my gushing hasn't made this apparent for who this is about, you're not paying attention. fun level: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I'm having way more fun with Ruby now, and I'm so glad. Her tags make me smile, and the shenanigans she gets up to are just fantastic. She might be building weapons for Kagari, and messing around with Keimi's powers, and she and Hiro are going to poke their noses into everything in Cerealia and it's going to be great. Just. There's so much for her to do and I'm really glad that I feel like I'm finally expanding out of the "genki cheerful kid" role and finally finding more for her to get involved in. likelihood of drop: □ □ □ □ □ She still feels brand new, honestly! Somehow. That's weird. But anyway nah I'm not dropping her any time soon. development/final thoughts: ughhhh i'm so happy with Ruby here in Cerealia now. I NEEDED THIS TIME TO FIGURE HER OUT and I'm glad it ended up working out for the better with my playing of her. I have a ton of ideas of things I want to do with her, which is something I've been lacking for the most part with my characters lately, so... YEAH I'D SAY WE'RE GOOD HERE.
Synodiporia
state of the game Over a yeaaaaar here, how time flies. I've really enjoyed my time in Syno and especially Mai's CR, but I'm starting to think that it's about time to wrap things up, sadly. I'll elaborate more on things below, but I definitely have had a wonderful time, and am grateful to everyone in this game. ♥
	character: Mai [upcard] age: 19 series: Amnesia time played: 1 year, 3 months muse strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I'm pretty confident in my portrayal of her! The localization just made it even better for me, tbh, it confirmed a lot of things that I just guessed at which made me feel pretty good about things. BUT YEAH I'M HAPPY ABOUT MY PLAYING OF HER. cast strength: □ □ □ □ □ Nah plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ She can basically be tossed head-first into anything! She's usually useless in most of those situations, but it's a fun contrast to play out to my other competent characters. She tries really hard, and does what she can to help, which means she always has a goal and motivation. It's a huge plus! I probably just won't be throwing her into any fight scenes any time soon, unless it's so she can fulfill the trope of throwing herself in front of a beleaguered love interest, of course. She's been getting a lot more competent despite my expectations, honestly. Almost too much so, it's throwing me off. But I guess when she's surrounded by awesome people who keep teaching her, and she keeps trying so hard, it's bound to happen. I guess I'm proud of her, a bit. shipping potential: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ HAHAHA god please--she's an otome protag. But on the other hand, she was basically familyzoned by the entire game and that makes me so happy, it's just such an amazing development. fun level: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I LOVE PLAYING MAI.... whispers I love playing Mai. I have loved playing her for over a year now, but-- likelihood of drop: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ I think I've just...hit the end of my time with Syn. I love it, but I'm starting to burn out on Jaunts faster and faster, and with me getting busier with life things, it's the first game to have to go, especially considering how prose heavy it is. It's really sad; I've played in Syno for a really long time, but I'm really grateful for all of the threads and memories! ♥ development/final thoughts: Mai has grown a lot, which helps with my decision, I think. There's not a lot more development-wise I feel the need to tackle. She's grown, she's learned things, she's built incredible relationships, but it's not fair to all of my CR if I can only give the game a small fragment of the time and attention it actually deserves. I think that I've reached the end of the road with her development, and honestly, the year and some months that I've played her couldn't have been better. Thanks, you guys. ♥ I'll do a proper drop at some point soon; I just wanted to give everyone a head's up.
Futurology
state of the game New game! I've had a slow start here, but it's a small game and probably won't be getting particularly huge. I'm hoping that when I find my feet in my RL nonsense, I'll be able to throw Frey around everywhere and start to get more integrated. I'd also really like to app a second here (generally speaking, I do better when I have two characters in a game), but that'll naturally depend on whether or not we have a really tight character cap. If we do, I can't app a second in good conscience and take that spot from someone else. We'll see! I know who I'd app if I do get the chance, but that's still all very up in the air.
	character: Frey [tills] age: 18 series: Rune Factory 4 time played: 1 month? ish muse strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Frey is super easy to play. She's weird but sensible, kind but firm, and in general just a very enjoyable person to play. I'll try to bring out her weirdness and quirks more, but I think I've been doing pretty decently with her. cast strength: □ □ □ □ □ It's pretty obscure, so I'm not expecting much in the way of cast, and that is a-okay by me. I want so much cross-canon cr here. plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Frey can literally do anything, that's kind of the point of her entire existence. shipping potential: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ FREY CAN MARRY ANYONE, IT'S A DATING SIM HALF THE TIME fun level: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ She's been so much fun and so has her CR. My own failures at staying on top of tags there have been the only thing shooting myself in the foot BUT I WILL DO BETTER. WAIT FOR ME, GUYS. likelihood of drop: □ □ □ □ □ STILL NEW. STILL FUN. I lost my footing a bit with futurology due to non-pretendy-funtimes things popping up and taking up some of my attention, but I have no intentions of dropping! I'm going to dive right back into the game and build some great CR and have a great time! development/final thoughts: There's no development to put here, naturally, yet. I'LL FIGURE OUT THIS RP BALANCE THING EVENTUALLY
