Its possible to like the universe of something while not being too keen on roleplaying within it. You shouldn't beat yourself up over this, if I were to hazard a guess as to your dilemma, it would be that you're simply unmotivated because you already get your RP elsewhere.

Furthermore, I find that my characters are a big part of the reason I keep coming back. I need to be invested in them, and this requires a great many things to fall into place. It means I must enjoy roleplaying their personalities, but more importantly, it means I must enjoy their articles and how they work in roleplays.

Making a character, to me, is a form of design: this is something that most people don't really get, because its not just about how well-written a character is, its about how they function. There is indeed such a thing as a poorly designed character for roleplay.

Looking over Kaiba, I see that he's a Quincy, that might be part of your problem. Quincy by and large, are difficult to design in a manner that is satisfactory. You probably made him because you wanted to challenge yourself a bit, well, here's my advice to you. If you want to get back into things, do something you already know how to do, go easy on yourself.
