More of a question, but whatever

*Breaths in*

OK, so Danny (Tempero) had not been getting any role playing done. Somehow I don't seem to be able to find any threads for him...even though the other invasion thread on the institute would be interesting, were he not an utmost claustrophobic...

So, I am asking for people to RP in a few threads with him, or for an answer on whether I should delete him, because it seems that he's only a vestigial structure on the site right now.

[Warren Worthington III]

Sorry Danny isn't being fun to RP in the current environment. That happens, sometimes.

I'm not opposed to Bobby or Warren RPing with Danny; they've done so in the past. That said, I'm unwilling to commit to a thread to RP with Danny solely for the sake of RPing with Danny so you don't delete him.

If you're not having fun with Danny, and you can't find a way to make him fun for you, then yeah, you should delete him.

That said, here's the best I can do by way of suggestions for improving his playability/fun:

1) Create new threads that involve Danny doing something that other people might find interesting to join him at, or respond to him having done. (You've done this successfully with Sherridan a few times, if I recall correctly.)

2) If you're finding threads that would be fun to include Danny in, but his radical claustrophobia is preventing that, get rid of his radical claustrophobia and include him in those threads.
Danny and Storm had a scene a while ago that implied she was going to provide some assistance; you can simply assert that this has happened off-camera and that Danny is now less crippled.
(I'm all for weaknesses and flaws to help define a character, but if the weakness you've picked is making RP more difficult rather than more fun, you've picked the wrong weakness; change it.)

3) Consider: What does Danny do?
Does he have hobbies? Start a thread involving him and one of his hobbies (hint: pick something vaguel sociable, so other people can join in.) This doesn't have to be deep or exciting or eccentric or even interesting -- Matt started a thread once by playing basketball. Toni started one by renting a movie. Warren started one by drinking gin on a rooftop. Laurie started one by making breakfast (that last one probably can't be considered a "hobby" exactly, but it fits the same niche). Sherridan gets a whole lot of mileage out of receiving annoying cellphone calls, which also isn't exactly a "hobby", but again...

Does he have secrets? Start a thread in which one of those secrets is revealed. (here, the secret being interesting actually does help)

More generally: if you do something, people often will join you in doing it. (And sometimes they won't, but your odds go up significantly.)

4) Consider: What does Danny want?
Does he want adventure? Drop him into threads where the X-Men are going to go do something and have him be useful. (Or have him be useless and interesting about it, if that's more fun)

Does he want a date? Drop him into threads where he hits on people he finds attractive. (Or where he tries to and fails, if that's more fun.)

Does he want to get over his claustrophobia? Drop him into threads where people are indoors, have him join them and try to get involved in what they're doing.

I could probably go on, but... (shrug) I'll stop now.

[Sherridan Kaine]

Ah, yes, I see now. Thank you for the help, it really is very useful. I think I have figured out a way to make it all work, a great deal of it being thanks to your advice

Anyways, I've noticed that, even though I have made him a full character, everything has been based around his claustrophobia. Hm, yes, I shall dispose of that via off-scene-iness. I have the thread with Kurt, anways for that, so that should be enough.

OK, I will bring Danny into the invasion, and make a thread for others to join in at will.

Thanks for the help! *cookie for you*
