States of the Muses: 8/28/2013
Okita Souji { ahappylie | peacemaker kurogane }
tagging priority:■■■■■ | He always takes first priority and usually I need a tag or two with him before I can tag anything else. Writing Souji gets me in the mood for writing everyone else.
muse strength: ■■■■□ | I worry sometimes that the effects of being in the game for so long (along with all that has happened there) and being alone for so long has changed him a lot. Overall, though, he's my strongest muse and the one I've played the longest.
cast strength: □□□□□ | :C
plotting capabilities: ■■■□□ | Fairly strong because while he tends to settle into a routine and keep to the same friends, he's still very friendly and can't help but keep an eye out for new people to befriend.
general fun level: ■■■■□ | I worry sometimes that he isn't as much fun for other people, but I usually enjoy writing him a lot.
likelihood of drop: □□□□□ | Yeeeah, no, he's pretty safe. He'll be the last one I ever drop, if I ever drop from Luceti.

Beat { skaterbrain | twewy }
tagging priority: ■■■■□ | Usually second if Peggy isn't.
muse strength: ■■■■□ | Fairly strong, second only to Souji. He's an easy character to get, but I worry sometimes about making him either too dumb or too smart. I'm feeling like taking another shot at his game, just to hear him talk again.
cast strength: ■■■□□ | We still have an amazing cast in the Joshua and Rhyme, but we've lost Shiki and Neku over the past year. It's sad to lose such good players, but I'm glad we still have Kim and Flynn.
plotting capabilities: ■■■■□ | He's tied into taking care of his sister and making sure Haruhi's okay, but otherwise he's really easy to plot for. Can't do any of the romance plots or the adult-type mega fights, but he usually finds something he can do.
general fun level: ■■■■■ | Oh my god, do I love threading Beat. I can just do whatever I want pretty much and it'll be IC for him. It's amazingly freeing to play such a straightforward and blunt character.
likelihood of drop: □□□□□ | Only if my castmates drop.

Peggy Carter { rightfootforward | captain america: the first avenger }
tagging priority: ■■■□□ | Depending on my mood, she's usually second or third.
muse strength: ■■■□□ | I'm still pretty shaky with her, even after all this time. I constantly worry about whether or not I'm making her strong enough, interesting enough, or even smart enough since she's brilliant and I'm most definitely not. I need to work hard to achieve her level of wit, and sometimes I worry I'm not doing a very good job at it.
cast strength: ■■■■□ | Amazing. We have a brilliant Steve and an equally amazing Bucky at the game, along with a hugely active MCU and Marvel comics cast. Their level of activity is almost daunting to keep up with, but I love the challenge and the castmates and satellite castmates are some of the best on the web.
plotting capabilities: ■■■■■ | Something I need to work on more. She has every single opportunity to get into EVERY SINGLE bit of trouble in Luceti, but due to my time zone and work schedule, I miss out on a lot. I worry constantly about whether this is what is making her feel OOC to me.
general fun level: ■■■■□ | I adore writing Peggy when I do and feel good about it. She's such a strong woman and a wonderful character, that when I hit the groove with her, I can boomerang back and forth all night.
likelihood of drop: ■■■□□ | Like I said, I'm still shaky with her and I worry constantly about whether or not I'm even doing even a passable job at playing such an awesome character. Sometimes I feel like I'm only character squatting and another, more involved mun could do infinitely better with her. When I waver about dropping a character, she's usually at the edge of the block.

Japan { osoreirimasu | axis powers: hetalia }
tagging priority: ■■□□□ | Last on the list, sadly. :( Mostly because he has the fewest number of tags, so I get to him after I've finished the others and when I'm waiting for the next tagvalanche to start.
muse strength: ■■■□□ | Strong, but not superbly so. He's pretty much a walking stereotype according to the series, so it isn't very hard to play him so long as I keep his character quirks in mind.
cast strength: □□□□□ | Ooooooone is the loneliest number~ But there is the possibility of a Poland apping in, so I'm super excited.
plotting capabilities: ■■■□□ | He's fairly quiet, and weird enough that most people just kind of ignore him. He's around, but not 100% involved in everyone's lives.
general fun level: ■■■□□ | He's feeling flat to me lately and if I feel bored with him sometimes, I can only guess that everyone else is, too.
likelihood of drop: ■■■■□ | Unfortunately, if something doesn't pick up soon, I'm going to toss him out and try to pick up someone else, or keep with the three I have already.

Dr. Walter Bishop { unfringed | fringe }
muse strength: ■■■■■ | I'm currently rewatching Fringe and every night I remember why I love this character so much. He's wonderfully complex and tragic, but he maintains a sense of joy and wonder through it all that I just find absolutely infectious. He's a pivotal character of the series, but more sedentary so he wouldn't be out running around on field as much as some of my other characters. He's also insane and that's fun to play with. Learning how to deal with his memory loss and the mood swings could be an interesting challenge for me, depending on when I app him from.
plotting capabilities: ■■■□□ | He obviously wouldn't be a fighter, and his drug use and inability to caretake for himself would be an issue no matter where he went. Walter doesn't cope well with extreme changes, but that is one reason why I think it would be interesting to take him someplace so far from his comfort zone. As long as I avoid hospital settings, he shouldn't have too much trouble.
general fun level: ■■■■■ | So far up the scale, he's practically sucking the fumes from airplanes.
likelihood of app: ■■■□□ | I waver between playing him and not playing him, just because his app is so damn daunting. Explaining Walter's personality is difficult enough when you know the series. Trying to do it in writing and to someone who might not understand just how stable and unstable he is at the same time is a lesson in frustration. I also would need to know more about all fields of science and mathematics, science-fiction, recreational and medical pharmacology/drug use, music from the 1950s and on, and learn about astrology, mythology, archaic languages (he speaks German and Aramaic, just as an example), and try to play a character with an IQ of over 190. The sheer weight of his knowledge might crush me.
