So, when characters go inactive, the general assumption is that they either hibernate back in their chrysalis, or simply wander the caves alone. We've had a lot of these characters over the years, with big gaps in their timelines that can only really be times of nothingness. With the new changes to reviving stones, there's likely to be many more of these characters left lonely.
But what if we could do something with these characters? Allow them to develop or contribute to the stories of other inactive characters without them needing to be present? Whilst there's nothing that can compare to a well-played and fleshed out relationship and plotline, it seems unfair that some characters are bereft of that through their cycles of inactivity.
That's where this thread comes in!
Now your characters pasts don't have to have so many holes. If you have a character who's inactive and whether you'll play them again or not, they can now be free to meet other inactive characters and participate in stories without actually being played. This can be a great opportunity for those who want to bring back a character but want them to have done something in all that time. If you have a character that's not currently active but available for development or relationships with other inactive characters, or simply characters with large gaps in their timelines, feel free to post them below. It doesn't matter if you plan on using them again or not!
In addition, feel free to also post a response to this thread if you want to plot with or discuss an inactive character currently on this list! think of it as a catch-all for those of you who don't like having huge gaps. It might even help gather some muse up for 'em!
Note: this is for characters who are awake and alive, not those who are currently hibernating!
Rules
-This'll be obvious to most of you, but unless otherwise stated, an inactive character still belongs to its old player. Don't put them in your character's history or assume your character already knows them without the player's permission!
-If a character was not accepted, it was never born, and they cannot participate in this thread. Similarly, if a character doesn't exist IC, it also doesn't exist.
-If something dramatic happens between inactives(a character being killed for example) it may be best to play it out rather than just putting it in your history. This will be looked at on a case-by-case basis.
Timeline holes:
These are characters who have been inactive in the past and are presumed to have just wandered the caves alone. Post them here if you want some characters (whether active or inactive) to fill in the gaps.

Stand-by
these are characters who are currently inactive, but you have plans to bring them back at some point in the future. Perhaps they could hear about currently ongoing plots, or contribute to characters' histories, or return with a new friend that they've met in their wanderings.

Inactive indefinitely
These are characters who, for the forseeable future, will never return. They may contribute to filling in timeline holes, or have had a past relationship with an active or stand-by character.

To add characters to the list or the thread, post the code below on a basis of one-per-character.
Code:
<b>Character:</b> (tag them here)
<b>Inactivity type:</b> (Are they on stand by, indefinitely, or just have timeline holes that need filled?)
<b>Any requests?:</b> (If you have a particular type of development you want over your character's downtime, post it here!)
