Need some help

Hey, guys. You may or may not have noticed, but I've been, uh...really inactive lately due to burnout and just not being able to muster up the motivation to post with my two muses: Knives and Slade. Sad to say, Knives is probably going to get axed because I think I've done as much as I can with him, and his voice just isn't there anymore.

Slade...I am not sure about. A canon review might help me get back into the mood, but I'm not sure if it would be better to drop entirely (since I'm not really doing anything with him) and come back at a later date. Or I was thinking about potentially dropping him and apping in as his comics counterpart Deathstroke. There would be pros and cons to that: having a fresh start might be good, but of course, the loss of CR would be, er...pretty massive since he's been around for over a year.

So...thoughts? Suggestions?

If you need something to do with Slade to help jumpstart the voice or something, I've got a ginger here who is always in need of manipulation. We could hash something out, if you want.

I've never RPed with you much but I thought your Slade was always very well done. One one hand, if you can take a break and then jumpstart him, I'm sure that would make you and your RP partners much happier.

OTOH, I know at least for myself personally, I'd rather end on a strong note than peter out because I've "lost the muse" as it were. And if your heart's not in it, your RP isn't going to be as good, even with people you've well-established CR with, which may be frustrating for everyone.

Ultimately, you have to pick what's going to make you happiest in the long run, and I'm sure whatever you decide, everyone will be understanding and you'll get all the CR you want with whatever character you remain playing or play anew. Good luck. :)

I can understand the burn-out, and it's something I'm going through myself. I may recommend a canon review and seeing if you can plot with other people. If you don't feel very excited about it, then I recommend just dropping the character altogether.

It would be a shame, but yeah, understandable. You play an awesome Slade, but sometimes, we just get burned out, man. No one would hold it against you.

Well, I think your Slade is fantastic, so if you'd like to play out another thread to jumpstart your voice, I'd be up for it. :D

I've been going through some burnout myself, so I see where you're coming from. And I know we haven't played much aside from that awesome fight between Slade and Cole, but if you need help with anything, I can offer Cole for Slade.

I will always throw Momjeans at Slade. <3

I say that Sands and Slade go out for target practice.....the Vietnam way. Only with rubber bullets instead of live rounds. Urban Warfare is always fun. XD
