I got my acceptance letter, so I'll be heading back to school for a three year business program in the fall! I'm super excited. I get to take gym classes, which is super cool! And, despite presumably having a lot less time, I expect this to positively impact my RP! I'm more productive when I'm busy, and that extends to pretendy funtimes. Basically good news all around after a fairly drama-heavy month.

Beyond that, I made reqs this month with minimal scrambling, which is nice. Honestly, my attitude towards RP has really shifted over the past six months or so -- for the better. It's there when I need it, and if I need to step back and not do it for a week, I don't stress out about taking a break anymore. It's not the Big Deal that it once was for me, and that's kinda… Liberating, I guess. The past year has been very difficult for many reasons, most of which not worth discussing in so public a forum, and that really gave me perspective on TR's purpose in my life. My worth as a person is not intrinsically tied to whether or not I can do fifty threads in a month or have perfect grammar or be The Best Writer. Sometimes I need the escape that TR provides and sometimes I don't. So now I play when I want to play and I just feel so much happier for it. Plus, all of my characters are either in the middle of something or have something in the works, so I'm keeping more or less on top of things even with the new approach. Go Team Perspective!

PETER PARKER The Amazing Spider-Man DOB: 14 Oct Age: 31 Since 14 Apr 2009 daretodo

God, do I want a 616-Flash Thompson. I will continue to say this until somebody bites. (Pleeeeeeeeease? I will beta the app! I will find and/or make icons! I will give you threads!) Moving along, I'm definitely looking to EP him this month, since he'll have been here FOUR YEARS come April, which is insaaaaaane. INSANE. I wouldn't mind doing something with Wolverine, since it's his anniversary, too, but beyond that… Scott and I are still working on the gestating plot, with an aim to maybe time it to May to coincide with Iron Man 3 madness, but we should probably, uh, submit things soon. Might finally cave and just buy him a paid account again, 'cause I can't do the fifteen icons thing anymore. Oof. EP?: Yes.

JAMIE MADROX X-Factor DOB: 07 Sep Age: 33 Since 06 Jul 2009 howmanylives

Now that Henry IV is done, Jamie'll be looking to put together a production of 12 Angry Men. Also: he'll find the whole Tribbles thing hilarious, and I might very well throw him into an EP I've got planned for Matt on the first, just because Jamie's well-versed in Trek. EP?: Possible (taggable) cameo!

BUCKY BARNES Captain America DOB: 26 Mar Age: 88 Since 06 Oct 2010 onlyapassenger

I'm still picking away at his birthday EP so I haven't really thought about to do for April. He's someone I'm considering a time loop for, just because I really like writing WW2 action scenes, apparently, but that wouldn't be for a few months yet. Definitely a guy who needs a straight-up win. And speaking of WW2, he made a new WW2 friend. So that's nice. EP?: Unlikely in April. He'll get tagged around or do private threads, if needed.

MATT MURDOCK Daredevil DOB: 26 Nov Age: 35 Since 28 Mar 2011 manwithoutfear

HA HA HA HA HA. Oh, boy, things are gonna iiiiiiinteresting for Matt in the very near future, though I need to get my ass into gear and plot the home plot'll that kick everything off. I do need to start rebuilding his social circle, though, since… Pretty much all his friends vanished in the fall and he's not particularly close with any of his canonmates. (Which is a bit of a loose term, anyway. There aren't any other Daredevil characters. Pete is technically close to him, but they're both from a time where their friendship had cooled significantly, so I've kinda gotten away with not threading much.) Anyway, there is at least one development that I'm gonna need a Marvel reaction for, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. EP:? Yup! During Tribble Plot.

THOR ODINSON Thor DOB: A Thursday Age: 1000+ Since 19 May 2011 havenoplans

Had an interesting month, meeting Hoder (Marvel spelling, woo) and getting Danica to shoot an arrow at his head, because that's the sort of crazy shenanigans a respectable fella from Asgard should be getting up to. No concrete plans for April, but his two year anniversary is coming up in May and I'd like to do something for that. Perhaps I'll finally give him Odin's ravens. EP?: On the fence. Probably May.

CHARLES XAVIER X-Men: First Class DOB: 02 Mar Age: 31 Since 02 Jul 2011 thebettermen

I'm in the middle of threading out a swinging sixties home plot right this second, timed for April 26th through the 28th. Revelations will be made! Siiiince it's not an action-y home plot whatsoever. It's really just a character thing. I anticipate a shitload of fallout, though, so that'll be fun. EP:? Nope. I'll tag him around as necessary.

DAMIAN WAYNE Batman and Robin DOB: 13 Oct Age: 11 Since 28 Sep 2011 aworthyone

Damian just makes me sad, guys. Between his death and the billion Requiem tie-ins… It was a rough month for canon. I don't have any specific plans for April, but I can't shake this idea of, like, a Boy's Own Adventure type plot with the few kids on the Island. The only boy he's particularly friendly with is Bran, but there are a couple others out there and I just think it'd be fun, if it were a thing like Dino Plot where they all got tossed together into a dangerous situation and had to figure things out without adults or teens. I don't know. EP?: Probably not. He'll get tagged around.

KATE BISHOP Hawkeye DOB: 13 Apr Age: 18 Since 2 Feb 2013 learnfromthem

She has a non-canon-will-probably-get-jossed-at-some-point birthday coming up next month, so that's something! She doesn't know nearly enough people to throw a party of any kind, granted, but she'll probably get an EP anyway. 'Cause 19! That's an age she's turning! I still need to put up a post for Grace, per arrangements already made with Angel, and beyond that, I'm just looking to get her better situated in the teen scene. She'll eventually need to tell someone what she's hiding from Billy and Teddy (namely that a third of the team is dead and Eli quit), but for now she's pretty content in just… Compartmentalizing shit, because she's not really dealing with what being on the Island means. EP?: Yes. Which puts us at… Three EPs for the month. Totally doable.
