First off, I really should apologize to everyone. I have been really off in my rping, in my crew work and just overall creativity. I have been generously granted title opportunities, as well as opportunities to work with some respected names and I have been dropping the ball, badly.
With that said, I lead into my dilemma: Do I keep 187, K Dogg and Humberto Hernandez? Should I drop them and focus on more original characters? Should I keep one or two and drop the other(s)?
Truth be told, I'm not sure if my recent slump is due to being burnt from school or if I finally hit the wall with my characters and everything is becoming repetitive?
I am posting this for an outside perspective. I respect the opinions of those within the guild and trust their assessments.

It sounds like you're having the same kind of problems I had last year, so I'm gonna just throw out what advice I can give you.
First of all, hitting a wall with my character is something which has definitely happened with me before. I'll tell you now, no amount of new characters will help you with this. The real key is depth. Try to make sure your character has a defined personality, and make RPs that put him in situations that test it. If need be, join a new guild, so you can try something completely different with your character.
However, that being said, if you are going to drop characters, make sure you keep the ones you can relate to. It sounds wierd, but alot of RPers have a "first character," who is pretty much "them, in RP form." For example, Saint Joey is just my personality with a few quirks kicked up to ten. It's easier to play what you know. I wouldn't recommend playing someone who you would be clueless about (for example, if you don't know anything about rap music, don't be a rapper).
If you feel things are getting stale, do something completely out of the blue; if your character is face, pick a moment and make an insane heel turn. If he's heel, find a cause and stand up for it. This may help mix things up a little. I mean, Saint Joey was pretty much face in every RP. Now, he's turned heel, and I'm much more active (and enjoying it) because of it.
Also, school will not help with this. At all. If you feel you need a short break, take a short break. We wont judge you for it (not all of us).
I hope this helps a little.

If you think it'll help you creatively, might be worth sticking to one character and focusing all your energy on it. You play K-Dogg very well.

K-Dogg is a fun character I guess, but I think Hernandez is where its at. You recently changed his gimmick, maybe continue working on that. 187.. I just can't get into.

When I 1st feuded with you it seemed that K-dogg was your prime character. He was the voice of the whole team and really showed the whole mastermind side that you seem to do so well.
and truth be told to me it seems that you flesh out K-dogg more than the others granted you just recently redid Hernandez .
