[plurkpoll/rp] swiping this from silvie bc i want to hear from MY tl too! do you ever get nostalgic for characters you used to rp? if so, which ones, why, & do you think you'll ever play them again?
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
for me, mk1(2) is making me miss kung jin a ton but i'll never play him in a game again bc he had such a complete arc when i last had him somewhere
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
i also miss tony chu because i miss having someone whose power is just Plot Hint Machine it was so fun to do player plot shit with him LFMDSKLGJ

Very often. And I have in fact lived my best life and dusted some off over the past few years.
𝟷𝟹𝟺𝟹𝟺𝟶.
yes, but id played these ones for so long that idk itll ever feel magical like it had which is what makes me miss them LOL
𝟷𝟹𝟺𝟹𝟺𝟶.
they were also when i had more time/energy, and boy did some of those chars require it
❆ despairmas
gonna be honest. for as burned as i got on lusamine (someone had ooc beef who wasn't even in the game), i am so nostalgic for her at all hours. terrible woman who somehow survived a murdergame and i love her
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ

: GOOD AND VALID, it's so fun dusting off old characters even if it's only for a bit

quigley from unsounded. one day i'll dust him off. .. also lmao jesus from saint young men, but i'm just not funny enough to play him consistently

LMAO he was so much fun

And I just apped an old character to Eastbound.

I get nostalgic for Naruto characters sometimes, but picking them back up would mean having to review Naruto and I don't think I have the physical or mental fortitude for that

🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
ive heard that ssss got Weird so you might be better off cry
snowsamu❄️
i do miss a couple of mine but in the end i don't think i could play them again because i was satisfied with where their arc ended so starting over on it would just be too tirring
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
Toss
: LMFAOOOO I'M READY FOR THIS WRECK if you tdm him i'll come running
𝓶𝓻𝓼. 𝓼𝓹𝓸𝓸𝓴𝔂
but like it never feels right to try and pick them up again
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
vex appeal
: oh god me with so many old canons lol
snowsamu❄️
then any canon where i don't like the direction it took just kinda kills my interest
simple dog
YES. Some more than others, but all the time. :'^) And a lot of them, they just ran their arcs too well to go for a second time. Some of them would absolutely be a hoot to try a new story with though.
KETER
oh nooooo i loved ssss so much back in the day
Toss
Oh I'm doing it
nilla 💐
all the time, but the one I'm most nostalgic for but I don't feel like I could ever comfortably return to is kazuaki nanaki from hatoful boyfriend 🥺 I think he really influenced a lot of my current taste in characters vjsnejxs
simple dog
But yeah, there are some that just felt too complete to go back to, or that I've done just about everything I ever wanted with them
ʀᴏᴡʟᴀɴᴅ 🏏
for me i feel like i miss the cr or something specific in a game that i had a particular character in, more than i miss playing the character, if that makes sense
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
𝓶𝓻𝓼. 𝓼𝓹𝓸𝓸𝓴𝔂
: right.... i def have characters where they felt like, they belong in The Year where they were my main rp squeeze and i cant take em out
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
outside of that time i mean
nilla 💐
but he's tied to why I left dwrp for a long time so lmao
KETER
OH MAN also some yaois.. ougi takaya from mirage of blaze and taki reizen from maiden rose... both of which i'm actually canon reviewing, rip me
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ

: MOOD ON THE FIRST, and lmfao yeah sometimes even "i'm taking from an earlier canon point" doesnt help

: YESSSS
𝓶𝓻𝓼. 𝓼𝓹𝓸𝓸𝓴𝔂
when i was in noctium i had this powerful desire to bring a crau character i used to play until i realized it was like........ ten years since the other game ended and i didn't wanna canon review
𝓶𝓻𝓼. 𝓼𝓹𝓸𝓸𝓴𝔂
but he would've been such a good fit
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
simple dog
: it's interesting how many of us are just like, we set up such a good arc we cant top it anymore, big mood
snowsamu❄️
i don't know if i wanna say i just get jossed but sometimes canon reveals are just like... looks at naruto...
simple dog
YEAH... Like, once Newt's done at Xim, I don't think I'll pick him up again, because his character arc in Xim has just been everything I ever wanted from him. :'| Same with Ziggy, they just got it all in one perfect swoop

There are LOTS of characters looking back I wish I had more time to do, so def lists of people I wanna pick up again, like Uncle bob from Terminator or Charlie from IASIP
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
it's so rough when you have characters you love wrapped up in ooc weird :[
𝓶𝓻𝓼. 𝓼𝓹𝓸𝓸𝓴𝔂
i've had a few characters where i did multiple games / versions but if i drop them for a long time it's hard to go back. once i lose it, i just lose it
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
i'm running to a meeting and plurk's hiding some of your replies but im SO interested to hear all of these, ty guys for chiming in
snowsamu❄️
even if i don't hate it i just don't wanna have to go back and have to start over since if there's some crazy anon things a lot of times it means having to revamp how the character's played and again, i don't always hate it! but i just wind up picking up something new at that point
snowsamu❄️
then if i do hate it i really don't want to but either way i can just never find the energy for it
ANTI-HERO.
oh my god, all the time... dave strider is a big one because i feel like i could play him way better than i used to... and hiruma is always up there but i still play him randomly ig???????
ANTI-HERO.
i played a male version of sheik from tloz on gaiaonline... and kakashi... KGNERJKNGKJK
thaneon
A long time ago, I played the Prince from Katamari in a X-Men mutant au school game. He was a reality warper from space who was like in kindergarten. He caused all kinds of cute chaos 
ANTI-HERO.
i think if i picked up kakashi again i'd never let go
thaneon
I don't think I could really play him again like I want to as I feel like I can't do the same with a canon version of him
thaneon
But he was good fun (0))/'-'))/ ( (0) )
snowsamu❄️
oh that's so cute, he seems like he would be such a good pick for that kind of game
thaneon
He could roll things and people up, but then everything would go back to normal with or without memories of the time intact. Great harmless shenanigans
мєя¢ωιтнαPlυяк
one day I'll play Wade again. ONE DAY
snowsamu❄️
oh noooo that's so cute, i love that
thaneon
Oh yes, and instead of planets, the King of All Cosmos had destroyed satellites, so Prince had to rebuild them with themes like the cooking channel and the science channel

all the time. kotetsu i thought was retired forever but season 2 made me miss him a lot so he's more like. semi-retired. if i find the right game to let me tell a kotetsu story i've never told before i'll play him again.
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
sai ... i loved sai but he was SO difficult to get cr for so probably not, especially since it involves canon review for naruto of all things
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
(not that i dont have nostalgic affection for naruto but that is Too Much Canon)
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
i'm still searching for the right game for my son kagari, too. el nysa was the only one he really flourished in and i was always bummed out when it ended before i was done w him
July, July
Ong... in general I miss DWRP but nothing has really called me. I'd love to try playing Bianca or Max somewhere again though. I've had a wild hair considering trying new characters but still nothing calling me.
boodle boy
ALL THE TIME MAN....I don't even have a lot of characters. I tend to play one at a time for long stretches
boodle boy
But i definitely feel nostalgic when I've moved on
shivorce
so like forever ago i played paprika from the satoshi kon film and she was so much fun but i dont know if i would play her again because she kind of accidentally became used for a lot of character baggage by way of being a dream psychologist lol
shivorce
i really loved playing her and it was fun doing dream threads especially but there were def a handful of players who treated her like a dispenser for angst dfjgkodfgj
shivorce
or like an emotional cushion. which to some degree is what therapy is for but that isn't really fun to rp
shivorce
i also loved playing jason todd in haven but idk if i can do him again... a lot of things in haven lined up so well that it was kind of lightning in a bottle for the stuff i got to play with him
ᴍᴇʀʟɪɴ.
i miss grell im ngl i get nostalgic for someone who just kind of sucks but had a complicated relationship to death and her own self image
ᴍᴇʀʟɪɴ.
idk if i would break her out again though without a full reread and only in private because of things that started to crop up
ᴍᴇʀʟɪɴ.
"kind of sucks" i say about a serial killer 
no she sucks so bad
no she sucks so bad
