uuuugggghhhh I hate character problems but I have been having issues for awhile and now I am making the final decisions and NO ONE can be mad. That's the rules. Okay so I will start with the bad things.
For a long long long long time, Jordin Ames has been doing nothing. Tessa isn't on as much because real life is lame and busy, but other than Jordian, I have no real desire to play her. That and I'm not liking Ellisha Cuthbert very much although she's still gorgeous. But yeah. The only thing keeping me from deleting her is knowing that if Tessa ever comes back in full swing, Jordian will make me want to bring her back. So I've decided, and I know this is lame because in a way she has been for awhile but this is so its official and I dont constantly guilty for having her sit there.
DECISION ONE: Jordin is going on probational hiatus.
Alright, I love me some Demitri Zervos. I do but I have barely used him since he was made. There was the Audros/Demitri thread that died into nothing. There was the thread with Andie which died. And thats been it. I love him to death but he's just not doing much and he's one that should be all over the place. So...
DECISION TWO: Demitri is going on probational hiatus.
Okay for a slightly less pissy note but still a worrisome one... I need plots for Rose and WIll or I will be forced to delete them. The only reason I can't is because I love playing these two. They're so much fun for me. So anyone who has some plot seeds with these two will be cashing in, I will force it. And anyone who doesn't will... plain and simple. I need them to get more active because I love them!
DECISION THREE: plot rose and will more, put them on probation
And now for happy ones.
DECISION FOUR: I am either going to bring back Laura but with Emma Stone as her face OOOORR make a new girl who is a lot like Laura, a bit older with Shantel VanSanten as a face who is just ridiculously gorgeous, but she's so similar to Laura it wouldn't be possible to do both. so OPINIONS NEEDED!!! Info below
So she doesn't have a name yet, As previously explained, she's a lot like laura. She's had a very similar history. Her father was a lawyer, a chauvinist pig too. Believed that anyone who was not made of money was worthless. He was also an angry, creepy man. Began touching her at seven. She had an an older brother who would always try to protect her from him. When she was 17 he was killed, not in a car accident, like chase, but because they're father took the beating too far. Her father was then arrested and She was emancipated. She was a big production theatre girl but she was always focused on volunteer working. She would basically work at homeless shelters and community centers working on their plays and stuff. She dropped out of college because it took too much time away from her work. She became a theater teacher for these kids. Oh and she was raised in Chicago the whole time. She basically gave her life away to this homeless shelter which was more of her home than the place she was raised. Plus she felt a real connection to the kids and felt she could help because a lot of them were abused and /or neglected.
About a year and a half ago, the man who ran the shelter died. And it was shut down. She tried to help start it up again but no one seemed to care. It infuriated her. She didn't know what to do with herself. She needed a job but the only skills she really had was working in theatre and/or film productions and when a film producer and a huge actor by the name of Will Hartman came buzzing through a restaurant where she was waitressing, she overheard their conversation. She quickly gave a slight jibe of an opinion and she impressed Will Hartman who asked her about herself. After she got off work, the two had coffee. They liked eachother actually and began dating. Noname was terrified an amazed to date Will Hartman, even in secret. It only lasted about 2 months and it ended with them as friends but still. After the break up, she kept waitressing but was starting a few classes at U of Chicago in film and cinematography. When Will began shooting his new movie just outside of Valkyrie, he asked her to do a paid internship with their cinematographer. She accepted but asked him one favor in return, and that being that he help fund her as she opens up a community/homeless shelter. Well, we know WIll. He accepted and she flies out to Valkyrie.
QUICK TIDS
- young age of 21 - very hard worker - will be busy with an internship as well as putting together plans for a homeless shelter which she may or may not run, haven't decided yet. If she did she would give up on the film business. - very smart, goofy and fun loving - not afraid to dance like an idiot - good with kids and pets - bad with letting people in - hates lawyers - dislikes most wealthy men - dislikes arrogance and cockiness - basically a slightly tweaked, older version of laura stillings.
NAMES Laura (since it is an older version) Kayley (my fave so far) Mackenzie (my second fave) Kacey Kyley
LAST NAMES Ryan Jacobs Stewart Anything since I have no preference yet.
RIght now, I am leaning towards her because Shantel i gorg an I love the volunteerism but I want to know what you guys think

whootedeewoot for making decisions. =] even if they're damn hard. not to mention annoying. proud of you, anna<3 this first bit will be short...since i'll just be agreeing and such, so that's okay. less of a rant.
poor jordin<3 but ahhh, do i know what you mean. personally, i only still like elisha 'cause she's jordin, and she's from calgary. random, isn't it? so, i know what you mean. jordian is epic as hell, but i do know what you mean. and if tess comes back on more often - RL...it's so lame - she's always going to be there, right? soo...i agree? -shrug- might as well have this bit all in the same paragraph. aw, demitri<3 same as with jordin. i've been in the same position, am currently actually, and it's a tough one. if you ever do decide to bring him back, i'll be happy to plot with him. =] like with jordin, he'll always be there if you ever want to bring him back for another try. or something. how could anyone be mad at you?<3
rose and will! i remember back when you made both of them, hehe. needless to say, i love them both to death. and, always, the door is always open at office de la A&A productions. a fair bit of my characters need more plots as well, so i say we should have a good A&A session sometime soon. we haven't in awhile, and i've always wanted to plot with them. rose is so much win, i love it. same with will. i want them both as friends. -nod- i won't do much of a plot!rant here, but i'm offering up any and all of my flingers. uhm...i have the slade siblings - cassidy and carter - coming up one day this century who are both in show business, if you want will to have connections of some sort -shrug- random. but hurrr, plotting with you is always epic. (: so i say we sit down and do some for real. 'kay? excellent.
i never really got to know laura all that well. she was around more when i was just joining v-side and in that weird phase people go through before becoming a full-fledged v-sider. good times. so anyway, she's win. i always knew that she was win. so is this new girl, though. emma<3 i saw her in zombieland tonight! man, that movie was way more fun than i thought it would be. and she's way gorgeous in it. i like her better than when she was in superbad, where she kind of bugged me. and shantal! i saw her in the new final destination<3 not as good a movie. she's friggin gorgeous, though. enough of that. both girls are win, obviously. but, i dunno what to say, haha. try laura out again, or have her be a bit older? it's all up to you, really. i have more adults, so for selfish plotting reasons, i'd have an easy time plotting with older!laura, but we can work around that. easily. if you make the new girl, i'd vote for mackenzie, though. i love that name. xD and stewart. i like that name, too. anyway. i dunno how to really cast my vote on the situation as a whole. honestly, i'm stuck. they both have more history in different ways than the others. laura is an old school v-sider...more history with some characters. older!laura is, well, older...so more history in life in general. more has happened to her? that doesn't sound right, but yeah. i guess it all depends on muse, even with similar characters. sometimes i'll get muse for someone, but only if they were -insert age here- it's weird. but yeah...heh. -failhead asia- D:
this is mostly me agreeing, but i hope i managed to toss at least one penny in the jar of 'here are my two cents'. my new saying, fear it. character issues are never fun, and it's good you're making some. i think they're...right? again, that sounds stupid. hopefully you know what i mean<3

yay! i'm glad you've finally made some decisions because i know it was really weighing you down. i hope finally putting things to words will make you feel a little better. -hopes-
k, so jordin and demitri i understand. it's hard to keep a character around who has little/nothing left to do and it's really hard to find things for them after that point. i went through the same problem with a few of my favs which i no longer play.
hmm rose and will. well i don't know much about them so i have no idea a) who they'd fit with or b) what the hell they'd do if they did fit. but hey, if you think of anything my characters are at your disposal.
gah i love you! oh thank you! i've been looking at both emma stone and shantal for ages and trying to fight off the feeling of making characters with them. so you saved me! thank you!
i know zip about laura so i really can't comment on the revamp/face change. but i do so love the idea behind the shantal newbie. and if she needed help her project would so be something i could see sarai getting involved with. i love the idea. i could also see her kind of getting along with carly, but that can be figured out later.

wooo for anna making decisions! i'm hopeless at deciding on things. i still don't know what's happening with half of my characters xD anyway i am a bit sad for jordin but at least it's just probational hiatus so maybe when tess comes back talk to her and see what's happening with her? i don't know. anyway i didn't know a whole lot about demetri but it's good that you made a decision so that's all awesome.
now the fun bit. WILL AND ROSE. so i reeeally want to plot will with a few of my people. mainly my two newbies dustin and bridgette (once i finish her app) since they're both in the acting industry. i think will probably wouldn't like dustin at all since dustin is a cocky jerk and will is nice lol so they could be interesting. maybe they've worked on a movie before and dustin was all 'diva' on set and just a pain in the ass, thinking that he was more important than everyone else etc. perhaps will could bump into dustin and tell him off for how much he's wasting his career and potential or something? i don't know but we're plotting dustin and meg too don't forget xD anyway bridgette would be interesting since you mentioned a while back that will did a bit of broadway stuff so bridgette would be quite bitter about how much will's career took off compared to her career which has been forced to stop because of the cancer and all. she'd admire him still though. i don't know but we could figure something out for them (:
now rose. i believe we said we were going to plot her and aimee a while back but nothing ever happened. so now you need rose plots and i need aimee plots so i vote we do something (: they are complete and utter opposites which means they'll be fun xD as for anyone else...well i can't remember a whole lot else about rose but if you can think of any of my other peeps that could be plottable with her, let me know (:
now laura. i remember laura! she was good friends with nina before you deleted her and then nina became corrupted xD as for my opinion on what you should do, i personally think you should go ahead with the new girl because she sounds pretty awesome with the whole volunteering thing and like you said, she's basically an older version of laura anyway with a few changes. i'm doing volunteer work right now for school right now btw and it's awesome (: if you do make her we have to plot her and dustin because he is basically everything she hates. wealthy, cocky and arrogant haha. but yeah she sounds really awesome. name-wise i like laura or mackenzie as first names and stewart as a last name.
hopefully there was something useful in all of that <33

you knew i would reply to this so here i go:
first, i commend you for character decisions, since i obviously go through my own fair share, some that i haven't even 'officially decided' yet because i'm not 100% sure i want to go through with it. first, jordin, i understand. i went through the exact same thing with chanel. i love her to death but she doesn't really have a purpose without jezzie around so yeah... i'll admit, i'm a little sad about demitri because we really didn't get to plot the brio much, and we just configured a plot with him and brett. but it's understandable. so yeah, i'm not mad at you are or anything like that. <3 rose and will. i don't really have plots with rose but i know i always admired her as a character so if you want to plot with her, i have them characters of mine and we can make something work. same with will. oh! wait, it think make in the day we sorta started making a plot with him and violet. like, she doesn't recognize him at all and they go on a date or something like that. i'm still up for it if you are because that would be amusing.
i dunno if i helped at all up there but onto my opinion for your next dilemma and boy, i could probably talk all day about this one.
though i just recently saw emma stone in that ghost/girlfriend movie and think she's gorgeous, shantal vansanten is my latest girl!crush since i saw her in the latest final destination movie. i think i even talked about how gorgeous she is after i saw the movie on here xD so, out of my own guilty, obsessive obsession i have with her, i want you to make her so i can plot the hell out of her. all my boys, i swear would be crushing, haha i'll even throw in brett on that one too. so, besides my obvious love for the pb choice, the character itself is quite developed. i'm not saying 'don't make laura' but you got a fair amount of laura already in her and maybe because you're evolving the character of laura into the new girl, it still feels you have her with new qualities. if that makes sense. for plotting, well idk if you're watching the new season of oth but her character is going to be paired with luca's character eventually. and well your shantal char and luca would so not get along, the plotting would be fun. other than that, riley and her would most def. have to be friends. and i can see alice helping out at the homeless shelter.
again, i don't know how much this helped bc i'm about to leave again but for names, i like laura and mackenzie. last names, jacobs and stewart. =]
