Well, I usually don't have a 'plan' for my character since it usually leads to disappointment for me. Characters I made where I envisioned them being a something or another after a few months, or where I established they would be in a relationship and married by a certain point grew quickly stale because it was predictable or... I got frustrated when it didn't go to plan. I could never win, lol. Now, I just start with a solid backstory and rough personality and let things fall into place through roleplay.Â
Oyuu is my main character that I've had for over a year now, and another character for over two years, but I have many alts too and I hop on those when I need a break from Oyuu. Doing a short Skype RP with a different character usually gives me enough time to get motivated to play him again, and the fact I have a really awesome roleplay partner, friends, and FC where I feel there's plenty for Oyuu to do and many ways for him to grow.Â
To avoid making a mistake, look at your resources around you. Are you satisfied with your roleplay connections? Maybe a new FC or LS would help. Are you actually getting the type of RP you like? What can you do to get it?Â
If you decide to change your character, do not kill them off if you are unsure. Retconning is a bitch if you want to bring them back. Have them go off on an adventure, or go visit their parents etc. or maybe put them on an alt whilst you try another character out. Anyways, that's my two cents, good luck with your roleplay!
