``four seconds of time

[ANNA-face]

So... my muse has been iffy lately. And I think it's because I have characters I like to play but don't feel passionate about playing and characters that I like the idea of more than the reality of. And since I want to get my activity up again, I am making an exchange. I am so sorry for any plots this affects. I'm sorry especially to lainey, because this probably won't help that she's been second guessing Raoul simply because one of the people I am deleting was plotting with him. Sorry.

First up to go is Gwendolyn Kai Deluca. Loved her history, loved her face but I don't know. I have plot ideas with her. I like her a lot. I just don't get excited about her. I have no emotional connection with her so... sadly, I feel like that is a good enough reason to let her go.

Second to go is Bowen Adwar Bennett, I LOVE THIS CHARACTER, i got him active right away, he flowed well but holy hell do I put off replying with him. I can't connect emotionally with him either. And I can't be sure why. Especially since i happen to be head over heels in love with Benedict Cumberbatch. He just... i don't know. I didn't have any plans for what I wanted for his future. He was just there. I'm sorry to delete him in the middle of thread with you asia.

Third is not leaving yet, it's more a shout out for plots. I like Eric Faden a lot, and I'm glad I brought him back, he just needs some love from you lovelies<3

Now, for happier news I guess. I am making two new screamers. Or at least thinking about it, but they're fairly developed in my mind. But I'm lazy and giving short intros, just to give people an idea of what's coming. There's no need to post plot ideas here if you have them. I'll make a plot page if I make them. If you have ideas right away and want to write them down here that's fine, or yell at me in the c-box or via pm. But this is very casual, since I'm lazy, atm.

Maggie Grace starring as Cherlin Aia Birch, whom everyone calls Cherry.

and Chris Evans starring as Carter Torin Birch.

They are native Valkyrians so they can easily know people. Their father was the Mayor of Valkyrie for a long time. The mayor of Valkyrie? Of course he was corrupt, he happens to be married to a cousin of Fausto Giovanni and was on the Italian's payrolls. Both Cherry and Carter grew up knowing about the corruption. Carter grew very interested in his distant family's business and when he was about thirteen right before his father ran for mayor, Carter decided he would rather stay out of the public eye and be taught the business by the Italians. His father understood and still got to see him, just incredibly secretively.

Cherry on the other hand stayed with her father, became very politically oriented but not so much in the proper way. By her teen years she was a bit of party girl, wild, fun, a bit of a problem for her father's public image, and incredibly cynical about american politics and fighting between the two parties. She became incredibly anti-government and her main goal was to leave the bullshit of american politics and just see the world. Even though she stayed with her father, she knew all about the "other" side of the family. Had even been taught to shoot a gun when she was seven, but she never took to it like Carter. She took off when she was 16 and has been traveling the world with mostly different NGOs.

Cherry returns when the Mayor, her father, is arrested for taking bribes, and having his familial connections to the Giovanni's revealed. He would have been released if he turned in Fausto, testified against him and others but, come on, the Birch's may not be full blooded Italians, in fact they're mostly Danish, but they aren't snitches.


Carter::
- 26 years old, member group: Italians
- Skilled Sniper and gun slinger, knows his guns like the back of his hand, showed great talent for it at an incredibly young age.
- Cocky, acts like he's untouchable most of the time
- friendly, but kind of quiet until he gets used to people
- friends with the other Italians, close with some, but a bit of a loner, definitely an introverted guy
- likes what he does because he's good at it, and appreciates appreciation.
- good sense of humor
- flirtatious when he feels comfortable.
- He's like the popular guy in school who's popular not because he tries but because people just like him, and his introvertedness tends to make people think of him as mysterious.
- flings and one nighters are totally in play with him but he is not a "bang every chick" kind of guy,
- very laid back and chill
- doesn't have much interest in money and power, he gets a rush from his work and digs the praise he gets for being good at it.
- a big thinker, but with very little to no moral compass
- a soldier who does as he's told with a smile on his face and a cigar to celebrate a job well done.

Cherry::
- 24 year old, member group: citizen or criminal depending
- An activist
- usually fun, goofy, sarcastic, cynical, energetic.
- no real respect for the law, stole stuff occasionally but most she has like a weird obsession with breaking into places she's not allowed for the fun of it.
- personality of extremes, can be easily angered, temperamental, jealous, depending on her moods
- she was once thought to be bipolar, she's not, just an incredibly strong personality.
- might have blown up a government building when she was 15 and has an outstanding warrant for her arrest, which why...
- she took off at 16, disappeared for awhile
- has traveled around the world with different NGOs to bring aid and support. While traveling has seen kids shot in front of her while herself being held at gun point. Has hidden with different people, waiting for people to move on. Has taken up arms against different gangs in Nicaragua when the village she was in was attacked, she knew how to use a gun so she offered to help the men of village fight back a bit. She has gotten so sick she'd almost died. and more
- even helped at a hospital run by MSF (Doctors without borders) unofficially since she is not a doctor but she helped in the waiting rooms.
- kept in contact with the family, was told she could return whenever because her father "took care" of the warrant for her arrest.
- returned to valkyrie when her father was arrested, secretly thankful for the excuse to live a cushier life and relax for a while.


And there they are!

So... sad news time. I have been busy. I know my computer was in the shop it has to go back and while I'm used to having a lot of charries, it's just there are some that I never really have muse for and I can sit for hours just staring at the screen with nothing to say. Like I never have muse for them and it's more I wanted to use their faces and have a love for their story but no real love for them. If I cut these two, I'll still be at ten with an even number of men and women and, I just feel like I should so I am sorry but I have to say good bye to Cedric Adair and Meg Stanwood.

Ced was fun, but I have never done good with the charmer, popular guy type and that's what he ended up being for me and it was hard for me to connect with him. You guys know I do better with the quirky or completely fucked up, *points to widow, donny, liz, etc* He was just to... vanilla I guess. I mostly just wanted a scottish boy. because yum. But I just have no interest in him anymore. So I apologize to those plotting, which is mostly ruby. And I do really feel bad because we had an epic plot idea, but I don't like keep characters around I don't play much and even worse for me is keeping a character around I don't care for much. So, Cedric Adair went back to Scotland to be there for his family.

Next is Meg, basically same problem as last time. Lack of usage, but worse this time, lack of muse. I don't know her anymore. I really didn't even have an urge to bring her back based on much more than I love Katie McGrath and think she's disgustingly gorgeous. And you know what else sparked it? Katie didn't have all that many photoshoots or anything when I used her the first time and many were low qual, and then, keeping up with her while not using her, all of a sudden she had high quality photoshoots and gifs all over and I felt cheated, like I had to go back and use them and yeah, not cool. So I still need her under threat by the russians for derek, I figured she could just be threatened from LA. *shrugs*

I really am sorry to anyone this messes with, I just needed to get some dead weight off of my massiv character list. And I know I don't have any upcomings, I just didn't know where else to put this.
