Real life has its ups and its downs, we all know that. I wish I could keep Vicious as an active member of Blackjack -- I love the atmosphere, the people in it and the stuff we get up to (albeit in my short tenure -- but circumstances are not as positive as I am. An increased workload OOC means my time and by effect, my creativity has been detrimentally affected.

While it is my desire to keep Vicious active, my honest responsibility is to say 'I do not have the time.' Between the my commitments as Hades and my real life time consumption, I simply do not have enough drive to keep another character going. I am sorry if I let Blackjack down and I request Vicious be moved into the reserves. I do not mean to end this character; if I get time I will come back, but in the foreseeable future that won't happen. It's been a pleasure serving with the Blackjacks.

And so my old friend RL strikes again.
