Character removal.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

This is just a matter of opinion that I figured I'd address to the community at large since I'm not sure what to do.

I've decided that I want to drop Zack. (DON'T HATE ME.) There are a few reasons for this. Mainly, it's because I see myself apping new people in the future - characters that I've never RPed before. I know I can only handle so many characters. Considering I've roleplayed Zack countless times and have him active in some other RPs, I really don't need him here at Damned. I'd rather free up the space for new characters I've never tried my hand at before. He also hasn't been doing much lately. (I wish he could donate his sword to someone, though. ;__;)

The question I have is... How should I remove him from the game? He could just sort of... fade away and stop showing up, which is what normally happens. Or I could have him brutally killed during the nightshift or something. This is sort of a random thing to ask about, yes, but I'm at a loss for how to go about it. So I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks, guys. :D

OMG WHAT NOOO. *Luffs Zack* ;____; I'll be sad to see him go.

Donate the sword to Zelos! Ahaha.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

He'll be replaced by Guy Cecil eventually...? I don't know if that's any consolation. Though Guy and Zelos have some serious conflicts of interest that would amuse me.

That might be doable?

[claire-ity.livejournal.com]

GUY! Holy crap, I need to get my hands on Abyss. Now. And any Zelos interaction tends to amuse me.

Omg really Zelos will sex you up in thanks.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

YOU DO. Guy... Well, he's got a phobia of females. You can see how the two wouldn't understand each other. XD

It would just require Zack going out with him during nightshift and then getting killed, so Zelos could take his sword. Maybe. Bwah?

[claire-ity.livejournal.com]

AHAHA OMG WIN. Zelos would try to teach him everything he knew and fail.

That could work! Zelos is sexy and badass with a sword and will avenge Zack in style.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

It's not that Guy doesn't like women. He's just... scared of them. And doesn't want them close to him. Poor thing. XD

Right! So now we just need to find someone to kill Zack, I guess. XP

[claire-ity.livejournal.com]

Aww. ♥

Awesome! I wonder which character?

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

One of the nightshift only dudes, I guess. :3

[gun-fire.livejournal.com]

Aw man! I totally could have killed him last night shift! XDDD

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wish I had made this decision sooner! That would have been awesome. D:

[zalia.livejournal.com]

Ed would've been traumatised...

...actually, that would've been kinda' fun.

[gun-fire.livejournal.com]

ZOMG But then Ed would hate Riza foreverrrrrrrr. DX

[31st-of-china.livejournal.com]

Don't know how long you're keeping Zack before dropping him, but Grievous could use a victim or two. ;3

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

Ooo, that would be fantastic. <3

[fallen-kaleesh.livejournal.com]

Just give me the heads up during nightshift and maybe we can work something out if you're interested? :3

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

For sure!

[zalia.livejournal.com]

And after all the work Ed put into that sword ;_;

*grins*

It'll be sad to see him go, but I totally understand why you'd want to play new characters ^^

I favour brutally killing him off!

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping it can find a good new owner somehow.

Yeah, there are some fun ideas I have in mind. :D; The two month waiting periods are kind of killing me.

Hahaha, I'll mark that down. >D

[icemilk.livejournal.com]

Ah, sadness! Very much sadness. ;__; Aerith doesn't want him brutally slaughtered, but Kris agrees that this is more interesting than fading away. Oh, Zack. ;______; BOOOOO.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

I felt particularly bad about leaving Aerith when I decided to drop him, so I'm sorry. ;__;

[flordecactu.livejournal.com]

I will miss him because I love your Zack verily, but it's alright. I understand. ♥

Aerith will just have to flirt with Tifa when she comes along. XD

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

Speaking of which, what is going on at Necro? You need to poke me if I am due for posting there 'cause I fail at checking up on it.

Is someone going to app Tifa? :3

[reduxvalentine.livejournal.com]

GOD I WANT TO SO BAD but I can't :(

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

ZAAAAAAAAAACK. ;_;

You should totally kill him off, though. XD

[bigshotbarret.livejournal.com]

I think he should somehow make it seem like he escaped, like the staff devised it, to give the patients false hope, only to later find his body brutally mutilated and crush their filthy hopes.

[walking-complex.livejournal.com]

I like the way you think. :D

[damn-legends.livejournal.com]

As do I!

[offduty.livejournal.com]

.___. But Reno didn't even get to harass him yet.

Although, yes. I, too, vote for killing him off. XD Zack seems like he should go out with a bang. So to speak.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

Aww, I'm sorry. ;__; I could try to get a thread in with you before he leaves if you'd like.

Well, that's how he went out the first time, so! ...Man, that was harsh. I think I just hurt my own feelings. XD

[offduty.livejournal.com]

Aww, no need to apologize <3 And don't worry about too much. XD XD If Reno happens to be able to bump into him, though, I'll be there. ;)

XD Poor Zack. Am I a bad person for being slightly disappointed that there's no Cloud around to see his best friend get killed a second time? >_O;;

[gotahunch.livejournal.com]

Zaaack. ;_; I vote for killing him in front of Axel. *BRICK'D*

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

THAT IS AN AMAZING IDEA.

[gotahunch.livejournal.com]

WELL I AM AN AMAZING PERSON. 8D

[walking-complex.livejournal.com]

I WILL MISS ZACK. THE TIME WE SHARED WAS MAGICAL. :(

[0bnoxious.livejournal.com]

Awww too bad!
I vote for brutally killing him off too! That's way more interesting then just fading away or something ^^

[reduxvalentine.livejournal.com]

I VOTE GRIEVOUS OR PYRAMID HEAD GET THEIR HANDS ON HIM

[walking-complex.livejournal.com]

BOTH.

[31st-of-china.livejournal.com]

AND/OR CARNAGE >:D

[damn-legends.livejournal.com]

Who're you going to take instead of Zack? Snake wants a Raiden to bully.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

I've actually got some other people in mind. x_x Though if people end up apping the characters I want to app before I get the chance to then maybe I'll end up taking Raiden. :x I dunno.
