Hi there!

I'm a concerned player over at Paradisa, mostly at seeing you planning on apping new characters when it seems like you aren't all that active with Helen here especially. At least not to the level it seems like she should be. You've had her in plots but take a while to respond to things with her, which is okay, but if you are slow with her then I'd worry how you'd be with others. Would it get slower still with her or would your over all speed slow down?

I genuinely enjoy Helen as a character I just don't want to see her pushed to the side, not when others are there that would benefit greatly from her being around (cast mates especially). And also when she is around it seems like you place a lot of focus on causing her trauma and don't seem to care if people voice their worries about it (the Event Horizon plot stands out where it seemed like people were worried about it with others there and you did it anyway). You can still be active with her without drama, especially after the realization of her second loss on the cast, maybe a break would have been better with her with Ashley on the horror ship.

A little less focus on drama on all of your characters would be great to gather CR, but especially with her I've noticed. There's been other things she could be doing and the setting does have things she could do (the creatures on the grounds and in the Dead Zone for example could be studied among other things), and it seems like that is put to the side to break down Helen as a character as well as your others. Maybe apping fewer characters to focus on the ones you have in game would be for the best, just to make it fun for both you and others you play with. I've found it difficult with Helen to enjoy her when I'm worried about the next drama ball that will happen with her for instance.
