• Loki is currently the loudest. He's in full-on let's fix all the things and prove how not-evil we are! - which is good, since I feel the alternative is let's go hide in Iceland because of something an au-future version did! which leaves me little to actually do, so, yes. Him being the most active is both interesting and so helpful because he is a generally chill muse (in the sense that even if he is freaking the hell out he is mostly outwardly calm), and so when he is busy taking over my brain I am alarmingly chill, too. Which has helped a lot with, like, math tests and stuff. Loki: the god of keeping my brain sane?
  
• Dean is alert as ever. Occasional bouts of excuse me while I refuse to deal with this right now, but that's normal for him. He always bounces back.
• Jaina keeps jumping from pay all the attention to meeeee into.... disappearing for days at a time, in my head. I think she's reaching a point where she just cannot. even. anymore. So she needs to... channel this into something useful, IC. Somehow.
• Pepper is active, but generally a quiet person. She just kind of buzzes around doing her work, occasionally popping up to chat when the need arises... although right now she's kind of </3'y because y so mean, Felicia? She kind of thought they were friends and suddenly, there is rawr'ing, and she's just like WAT. So, that should probably be resolved somehow now that the kid-plot is over. *adds to to-do list*
• Joff is going quiet. This is sad, I enjoy him. He's one of the possibly-dropping, although he's still got time to redeem himself before I would do that. I just don't know what to do with him, he's either running around insulting/threatening people, or throwing wild parties, and there is no character development in those things. He needs to develop, or he'll die. Possibly literally.
  
• Chuck has been giving me trouble for ages. I ... have a great deal of problems with him at the moment simply because of the fact that he is having a great deal of problems at the moment. Most of those problems are under-the-surface, being hidden intentionally because he doesn't want to worry his wife / fail at children, but he is seriously just falling apart and I ...genuinely don't know how to work with that, without actually letting him do so. This is a touchy one and I almost wish I'd toned it back on his anxiety when I started writing him, because there is no quick fix for issues like his, I know that from experience, there's managing and there's not-managing, and he's... doing a weird dance between the two right now, managing badly, and sooner or later he's going to fail at it. I don't want to drop him, I just need to work with him more, but honestly working with an anxious character makes my own anxiety flare up, and it's kind of difficult to do without intense levels of pre-planning and plotting and etc. SO I have a lot to work on for him.
• Kat is probably getting dropped. I love her, she's fun, but she has no actual connections anymore and doesn't really have the personality for making new ones very easily. Maybe someday I'll bring her back, I don't know.
• Ava was dropped, but will return, I think. I'm planning on re-cannon-point'ing her, making her not yet crazy, because while I love love love her as a psychotic paranoid lunatic, it is not easy getting her to play well with others. Setting her sometime before the whole turning-crazy-dark thing would give me a chance to play her better. We shall see when this happens, though, depends on timing/life.
• Tom, my dear Toooooooom, I am so sad to have had to drop him. I seriously adore his character. He even had a chance at proper life now, with the bauble wish, and everything, so he wasn't Harry anymore, but... in order for his arc to go anywhere at all, he'd have had to get a lot worse before he could get better. War is too big and fast-moving and sort of... lighthearted? for that. He needs to be a PSL character, I think, or at least have someone dragging him out of his own head, or else he just kind of ends up curling up in a corner somewhere, staring at invisible things, running out of meds, and killing himself. Um, not that I wrote that narrative. In my notebook. During school. Nope. Certainly not.
• I also have a Mycroft muse, from the BBC Sherlock... but I refuse to allow him to settle in until mid-April, because a) tiiiiiiime what is it? b) he will require ALL OF THE RESEARCH EVER. In order for him to function, I think I'd have to have him immediately jump into a government position, and to do that I need to know things about government - both US and British - and ...ugh. It just seems super daunting. But I have his personality in my head, at least. Still trying to figure out the ~voice~ but that would come with writing, so, we'll see.

Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them.
