Character: Genjo Sanzo
Series: Saiyuki Reload
Character Age: 24 (He's 23 in Saiyuki, but turns 24 in Reload)
Job Idea: Chaplain. (What else?)
Canon: A brutal, worldly Buddhist
priest (who's not much of a Buddhist or a priest). He
drinks, smokes, gambles and carries a gun. Egotistical
and haughty, his favorite expressions are probably
"shut up" and "die." His weapons are the Maten Sutra,
a sacred scripture that specializes in bond-breaking,
his .45 Smith and Wesson, and a paper fan for idiots.
(Fair warning: Sanzo considers almost everyone else on
earth an idiot.)
Sample Post:
Will you people shut the fuck up? "Oh, the tentacle
monster is going to rape me...again." "Oh, there's a zombie
chewing on my ear." "Oh, Sanzo-sama, where is God in
this horrible place?"
Let me tell you morons something: God doesn't save
anyone. He's certainly not about to save
your sorry ass. You have a shotgun: use
it. Apparently one of you idiots has access to
dynamite: use it. Whining about the gorillas
and the toucans is not going to help you.
My name's Genjo Sanzo. I'm your camp chaplain until my
bosses tell me I'm not, so you'd better get used to
me. Don't expect any Great Wisdom. I can help
you keep your stupid heads down. But don't test my
patience. I'm out of cigarettes and it's starting to
wear down my positive attitude.

Character: Gwendal von Walde
Age: At least a century, but appears to be in his late or mid-twenties.
Series: Kyou Kara Maou!
Position: Relationship therapist.
Canon: Gwendal is like a steak, grilled to perfection. Tough on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. …to put it more simply, he is the archetypical tough guy - looks like he’d choke a bitch but would rather cuddle a kitten. (he has, in fact, cuddled a kitten before. Just so you know.) He is dedicated, professional, stoic, and tolerates no nonsense. He has trouble with relationships, especially those of the female kind due to his domineering childhood friend Anissina and his overly exhibitionist mother.
Instead of dealing with his or anybody else’s emotions, he resorts to becoming a workaholic and avoids as much social contact as possible. His weaknesses include the people he reluctantly refers to as friends and anything cute. The truth is, he’d rather knit huggable stuffed animals for ‘cleansing’ purposes to make people smile than slave over paperwork and military plans with his brow furrowed into formations likened to the Grand Canyon.
Sample Post:
The campers here are… surprisingly adorable.
…
Ahem. It is unfortunate I have been put into such a deplorable situation. Being swept away from important paperwork does not make me very pleasant. It was unavoidable, as I needed to get away from Mother before I combusted. I still hear her voice harping about my wrinkles from here.
I do not approve of the workings of this ‘Camp’, nor do I think I ever will. The Camp Director approached me and demanded that I ‘contribute to the cause’, and she was not very polite about it. It is unfortunate, for she did not even bother to listen to me. I have mentioned it many times before; it is not my place to deal with relations. Yet, I have been forced to become a…
Counselor.
For humans. I think I now may be inclined to agree with Wolfram’s cynical view of them. I do not understand their thirst for such closeness. Frankly, all women remind me of Lady Anissina. It disturbs me, to say the least. I suppose those aren’t the worst of the cases.
Today a boy came to me about squirrels.
I did not know what to say. He simply cried, and would not stop crying. It made me very uncomfortable. He explained that all his friends were intent on murdering his squirrel army. It perplexed me, for why would one want (much less feel a loss over) such a weak military force? All I could manage was “I do not know why your comrades wish to harm your beloved wood-land creatures.” He looked up at me and sobbed harder.
…I do not wish to think my kind expression is formidable.
I have been assigned to teach knitting on the side. That I do not mind as much. The movement of the needles is relaxing…
I am urged to knit him a cute little squirrel for comfort.

Character: Lord Il Palazzo
Series: Excel Saga
Character Age: Somewhere between 20 and 200
Job Idea: Grief counselor
Canon: Lord Il Palazzo is the mysterious leader of the organization ACROSS. He aims to conquer the world via incompetent teenage girls. He wears ludicrously large shoulder pads, talks to himself, and never leaves his underground base for any reason.
Sample Post:
When it comes down to it, there is only one fact that we can state as an absolute, and that fact is simply this: the world is corrupt.
I was pondering upon this concept when I received an e-mail from my missing subordinate, who is, it would seem, on furlough at a disreputable summer camp. (How did you know my e-mail was german_deluxe@acros.or.jp, Excel-kun? You never fail to amaze me, ha ha ha.) While I must reprimand her for her absence, perhaps there is some merit to her crude situation. After all, she has put herself in a vital position to affect a portion of the populace which is crucial to the future revolution.
I speak, to be concise, of the youth.
Today's youth, with their video games and cel phones and "Visual-K" rock music, do not understand the high ideals that are so essential to a healthy and functional society. To reform society, it is most essential to reform the youth!
With this in mind, I contacted the camp director to make prudent suggestions, and she offered me a job as a camp counselor.
Ha! As if I could ever be bothered to take on so menial a task.
...
However... it would appear that I am already at the camp. Well-played, camp director. Well-played.
Very well, then. ACROSS shall begin the first step of its conquest with Camp Fuck You Die!

Character: Nicolas D. Wolfwood
Series: Trigun (anime)
Character Age: 28
Job Idea: Counselling/Firearms Trainer
Canon: Wolfwood is a travelling priest
of suspect morals; notably the amount of running and
gunning he does. Wolfwood seems like a laidback kind
of guy who smokes a lot, doesn't have much money and
tries to pay for bus rides by getting confessions from
people. He can be a bit of a hardass and snappish at
times, but softens up a lot around kids. In reality
he's a somewhat conflicted man who wants to do the
right thing, but finds it hard to choose the correct
path. (This application contains massive spoilers for
episode 24 of the anime.)
Sample Post:
So, there I was. Dying, like all men do at some point
of their lives (except for Tongari who, let's face it,
probably wouldn't die even if you shot him in the
face). I'd made amends, given a real nice confession
in a church, and was quite ready to go. Then I black
out and wake up... here. Where the hell is
here, anyway? It sure isn't Gunsmoke, that's for sure;
too many damn trees.
Anyway, I wake up in the middle of some shanty town or
something with a "COUNSELOR" label stuck on my head.
Right, well, I could figure out that much of it pretty
easily. The welcoming party, however, was a bit
different. Staggering around like drunks, moaning,
skin falling off. Far be it from me to pass judgement,
but they looked kinda ... dead. I decided to
take the pacifist approach, you know, since I'd
somewhat resolved to do that not long ago.
...Yeah, that lasted all of seven seconds before I
shot them all to smithereens. I know, I know. "What
kind of priest am I?" Well, one who wants to
live, thanks very much.
It seems like this is a camp, as it turns out. Full of
kids. That's okay, I like kids. Well, I used to.
These kids are all nuts, running around
shooting things willy-nilly and taking dives into a
lake which couldn't be more dirty if it it was full of
oil. What the in God's name is going on around
here? Well, looks like I have to find out, since I
can't get this damned "COUNSELOR" sticker off my face.
So, hey, kids! Who wants some absolution, or some
guns, 'cause I've got both!

Character: Yozak
Series: Kyou Kara Maou
Character Age: At least 80!
Job Idea: Maid! ... Probably more maintenance, really.
Canon: Yozak is kind of like what the James Bond of the Kyou
Kara Maou world would be, if James Bond liked to dress as a girl.
Personality-wise, Yozak is basically a cheerful bastard. He's extremely
competent, and he's also very loyal. However, he's not above questioning or
re-interpreting or poking fun at his orders. He's got a very cynical outlook
on life, especially after he and his closest friend had to go get themselves
almost killed on the front lines to prove their loyalty, in a war that the
same people questioning them instigated. But considering he grew up in a
sort of prison camp for human women who had children with Mazokou, he was
probably pretty cynical before that, too. He doesn't go emo about it,
though; mostly he seems to try to have as much fun as he can with
life.
Sample Post:
Hello, everyone! I'm just your cute new maid, so
please be gentle with me ♥ ♥!
... is what I was planning to say, but after spending oh, I don't know...
five minutes here, this seems to be less of the 'low-key infiltrate and
assist mission' that I thought it was and more of a 'kill a path to targets
and assist by killing some more mission'. I mean, the advertisement said
that this place needed counselors, so you'd think there'd be some sort of
staff and things, too? Like... say... a cleaning staff? Guards and cleaning
staff are always the way to go when you're undercover, after all ♥!
So much more subtle when you inevitably have to make a break for it because
the person you're protecting wouldn't know 'low profile' if it hit them in
the face. Your Majesty. But it looks like I'm actually
stuck being one of the counselors instead - or at least, that's what this
friendly document I have here says! Along with "Ha ha ha ha, You're so
screwed" over and over and over, but everyone has their little jokes. I'm
sure?
Now, don't get me wrong. Even if I didn't get to have an ideal job, that
shouldn't have stopped me from being able to be all sneaky-like, but all of
these extremely disorganized... people make it very hard on me. First
there's the way I can't understand a word that they're saying,
("fghdkghBRAAAAIINS..." Another language, maybe? Your Majesty, this isn't
your homeworld, right? Just asking!) the way that it's also a little
suspicious how they're not dying no matter how very very much I slice into
them, ('cos this would explain why you think it's okay to keep doing
stupid dangerous things) and finally the complete lack of
appreciation for my perfect disguise. I mean, I know I got the shade of
lipstick just right this time! It's barely even smudging! You really have
to have a system to infiltrate before you can infiltrate the system, you
know. Plus, some unfortunate looking birds went and ate all of my carrier
pigeons. Ah, my poor pigeons... They were supposed to be my back-up
rations. :(
So, all things considered, I think it's not-so-secret bodyguard time for me.
Your Majesty! Your Highness! Original Priestess! Your Excellency! By
Shinou, if this keeps up, the kingdom's so screwed. Are you all all
right? Ah, and is my cute little T-Zou still with you, Your Highness? I'd
like to say I'll be getting you all out soon, but I'm sure His Majesty has
found some wrong or other that he just has to fix (he has a lot to choose
from here!). Even so, I'll be there as soon as I can! Thankfully, my maid
disguise seems to be confusing this tentacle thing, although not as much as
I might want it to. I thought only cute animals were supposed to be
dangerous? This place seems like it might be too much for even "the white-robed angel"
to help with.
... although it couldn't hurt ♥.
