Silver Knight has the best suggestion.


Alternatively, is there a reason she needs to biomass? Couldn't she just happily retire and be more of an NPC sort that you reference when you'd like to? IE the relationship continues but she's no longer in active service?

thats what I tend to do when I want to retire a character. After 5 years I understand that this game is possibly a more difficult habit to kick then most hard drugs.

Since is not just quitting EVE, but also rarely logs in. So the next time he actually is around to ask - we'll be working out the details of what happens to his character. So, for right now, we don't know. It may not be KIA, as MIA is a very distinct possibility.

* Ava Starfire hugs Kat

Im sorry hun... its hard when your best RP buddy leaves, and hard IC for the character to figure out what to do. Kat is tough, I think, but is also wonderfully "real". I think a tough, real person would react much like people have said... stoic surface, but definately with cracks.

Hugs again

If you wanna talk, Ava (Or Amanda) is always happy to.

I believe stecker did more of the depression with occasional flashes of rage under similar but less dire circumstances.

for kicks and giggles this could motivate a drastic change in Kat's behavior which might then lead to hilarious catastrophes, thus leading her back to normal. At chance to enjoy RP that is currently out of character for her, while still having a reason to get back to the normal that you enjoy.

So, for example, she could go pirate, or start sleeping around, become a hisec ganker/griefer, just about anything that you'd like to try in game but couldn't explain Kat doing IC.

From what little I know of Kat, I'd agree with most here - outside, the usual stoic. Possibly with a drastically reduced public presence to minimize the need for keeping up the stony facade. Occasionally a breakdown or milder evidence of cracks when forced to keep the facade up for too long.

Isn't Simca just retiring an option? I quit EVE a while and my IC reason was that Aldy just didn't want to capsuleer anymore. I kept in touch with Mitty OOC and we talked about what could be expected from the situation and all was peachy. Is that an option?

That combined with a break-up might be a plausible scenario that can avoid the drama of death/disappearence, plus leave things open for a return if the player ever decides to come back.

Personally I like "Kat", and think the occasional variance in a characters personality builds depth, if not taken to extremes.  As to what James thinks :eek: When you put so much real time and real effort into something real grief is natural.  Its fun to get to know individuals both in and out of character and we miss them when they are gone.  I hope you find a way to make it work. Feel free to come scream at James any time you like  ;)

Katrina's Themesong: KATGROOVE

Katrina already knows about whatever is going to happen to Simca, so significant changes in her personality should start creeping through the cracks anytime now. Some of you have already seen it.

Sorry to hear about this, but I know you'll figure it out and pull through.

Kat will still be awesome!

All good things must end.  It's the rule of life, unfortunately, my best to Simca. :(

"And so we move on to new horizons, and wonder what wondrous and terrible sights our eyes will feast tomorrow..."

So, the news has hit the media outlets. With the posting of the "Misjump" fiction, by Simca, it is now safe for everyone who happens to watch the normal person's news to find out about what happened. Stargate failures of that magnitude are rare enough that I think it would be reasonable for The Scope to want to dedicate a ten minute slot to it at least once.

As for Kat's personality change? Well I've decided on a path to take. You'll have to RP with me to find out. :)
