Okay, just kind of stating the obvious at this point, but I'm going to be taking an extended leave from DotE.
This probably isn't a big deal because I've hardly been active this entire time since we moved to the forum.
In any case, I've finally been able to pinpoint precisely why I've been dreading coming on here and have been avoiding it like the plague.
I've been a member of DotE for...
/counts fingers
It's been, what, six, seven years?
Anyway, it's been a long time, and those were definitely in my earlier stages of role playing, making some gems like Icky and Karma ancient.
I've especially changed the way I write and think about my characters over the past few months (also I've become way more inclined to role playing humanoids than animals, even including dragons).
In short, I hate my characters right now.
They are no where near as fleshed out as they should be and I'm just not satisfied with them.
So what does this mean?
I've talked to Sam about this already, but basically I HAVE to fix my characters before I'll feel even remotely okay with this.
This will require me to sit down and put do quite some extensive thinking, and frankly, aside from how busy I am with college and the multitude of other role plays I've been doing, I just don't feel like doing that right now.
I'm going to adopt out three/four of my creations, because I don't even want to think about making them into a character that I would like, so I should have those up some time soon-ish.
I'll be keeping Icarus, Karma, Aiden and Quintus, but Karma and Aiden ESPECIALLY are going to take me a while to re-work.
Basically, I'll be working on all of them (probably in a Word document rather than coming here) for quite some time.
I know that Icarus is a big part of the current plot, however, so luckily I have a decent idea with where everything will be going with him...
I'll only be coming on here to force out a post for him upon Sam's request (which even then will probably take a while for me to collect my muse).
I honestly estimate that all of these edits will take me somewhere up to a year, so...
I may occasionally pop up to give some advise regarding the site like I've sort of been doing, but otherwise I won't be around.
So... I'll put up those adoptions soon, but after that, this is good-bye for a while!
I'm so sorry about all of this, but really, it probably won't be anything noticeable considering my recent absences anyway (I don't even know who half of you are anymore, so hi and bye new members!) so... yeah.
The site should be in good hands with Sam and Frost (though all of you try to help them when you can).
Happy role playing!
