So one of the things that always kind of amuses me about my RP life at Poly is the fact that Rosella was actually not my first character here, despite her being undoubtedly my longest (and probably most prolific)--I actually arrived in December of '07, in under the wire before apps closed for the end of the year and the big Stewards Plot, with Proto Man (proto_typing) from the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon.
Rosella (primrosella) showed up in August of '08 and carried on rocking until March of '14: when she left the City, she was twenty-one days shy of turning...twenty-three? The math is escaping me right now. Suffice to say, she was here a really long time, particularly when you take into consideration that she arrived when she was seventeen, about to turn eighteen.
After her, I had Rudy Miller (formerly at prefers_chess, currently at deadpanned), the twelve-year-old Canadian wonder from 1981, who I kept for about a year and a half before he escaped back home during a Summer Camp AU curse, because I couldn't pass up a canon-level finale like that for a character ever.
I also played The Incomparable Finnick Odair (formerly at protects_her, currently at killerstyle) in the game's magnificent Hunger Games cast, and he likewise stuck around for about a year and change.
Aside from them, my perpetual fourth-wallers were Death (and_immortality) and Life (and_identity), who I never could've sustained on a daily basis in the game but somehow managed to become recurring guest-stars anyway, a thing for which I consider myself incredibly lucky.
As for what they all did post-Poly:
Death and Life came back for the last hurrah to conduct their friends (as promised) on to their next lives, wherever that might be; Finnick bossed back out of the afterlife long enough to run off to Narnia with Queen Lucy Pevensie, where he remains a most contented ghost courtesy of Aslan; Rudy escaped home to summer camp, remained friends with Mike forever, and went on to conquer the world, presumably.
Prior to her departure, Rosella got married (!!!), went back home to her family and twin brother, lived through the events of King's Quest V and VI, but her time in Poly successfully derailed the events of King's Quest VII on the grounds that Queen Valanice had no real grounds to insist that Rosella stop screwing around with her life and settle down to get married when she...y'know, already was.
AND THEN SHE JUST KIND OF WAITED AROUND FOR HER DEADBEAT HUSBAND TO GET HIS ACT TOGETHER AND SHOW UP TO LIVE OUT THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER, C'MON CAIN.
