Character Name: Kon
Series:
BleachAge: 5 months, give or take. An undetermined amount of time in storage.
Series: Bleach
Canon: Bleach is a story all about how Ichigo got his life flipped, turned... yeah, I'm not gonna finish that. But the story does revolve around one Ichigo Kurosaki and a pushy dead girl who forces him to do some Grim Reaping around his hometown. Unfortunately, he can't do this while in a fleshy body, so she purchases him some handy dandy Soul Candy, for the express purpose of filling that body up with something that will walk and talk and, in his opinion, ruin his reputation. Unfortunately, the Soul Candy happens to contain a free-willed Mod Soul, who gives whatever body he's placed in a massive upgrade in terms of running, jumping and kicking things. Kon goes on to do exactly that, and runs around town before getting caught and stuffed into a plushie lion. From then on, he's pretty much a mascot and joke character, despite his serious back story as a Mod Soul who used to face destruction for simply existing. I mean, look at those outfits that Yuzu and Uryuu dress him in.
Kon is basically all Id when you get down to it, he's got very little impulse control and lives purely for his self gratification. Or so he looks at first glance. A deeper look reveals that he is indeed spending most of his time on a quest for boobs, but maybe that's just all the frustration he has to work through from being thwarted so regularly. After all, when people as crazy as this cast are your targets, one cannot properly woo the ladies. Then there's his temper, which can flare up whenever he thinks life isn't being fair to him. But conversely, he's a hippie beatnik pacifist, unwilling to even kill an ant-or let anyone step on them. He might fight and yell at you, call you names but he'll never kill, not in a million years. And if nothing else, he can keep his mouth shut about your secrets.
PS: Kon is taken from after the Arrancar arc, but before Karakura was [spoilered].
Sample post: You know, I think this might be the story of my life. Escape from captivity, bondage and lace, and get away into the wilds, only to discover that the wilds are much more terrible a place to be than you had thought they were! Case in point: I escape yet another round of fluffy dresses and being called Bostov , and find myself kicked out on the streets again. I mean, how can the universe top what its done to me so far, I think to myself. OH HOW WRONG I WAS. Not only did I fall into the sewer through that manhole, but now I'm in some kind of nature area. All around me, as far as the eye can see is nothing but thorns and trees. Though if I had a taller body, I might be able to do something like actually look over these bushes. I guess I'm stuck climbing trees for no-ow!
Ow, hey watch where you're going ya big ape! You can't just go around stepping on people shorter and cuter than you, even if you do have girl trouble! Oh, hit a nerve have I? You couldn't get a date with a Russian catalog and a credit card you bigolf! What kind of girl would want you-erk! Hey, let's not be hasty now, can we talk about this? Just please let go of my ear before it gets ripped off!
Ok, so your girlfriend dumped you. Alright, I can understand you're having a bad day. Mine has been pretty awful to, with the dresses and the swampy forest. That's no reason to pull a guy's ears until they almost come off and call him a Pedro-bear (or was that a bedo -bear?), whatever the hell that is. And I'll have you know that I'm a lion! See the mane, know your King of the Beasts! Yeah, I'm just amazing aren't I? You totally had the wrong animal but I'll forgive you.
Hey, sure I'll be willing to help you make up with this girl. You did say she likes to hug cute things right? You just hand me over, and she'll be all "Its so cute, IYYYYAAAAAN!" and she'll hug me and then she'll hug you for bringing her cute things, and everyone's happy. She's a big girl you say? Well I like them that way! Er, not that I'm gonna hit on your girlfriend man. I promise, I won't so much as move an inch when we get to-hey, what is her name? Marcy huh? Hey, don't worry any buddy. Your girl is gonna welcome you back with open... Tentacles?

Mukahi GakutoSeries:
Prince of TennisCharacter Age: 15
Canon: Prince of Tennis is that series about tennis (but you might've already gathered that part) where a bunch of apparently average teenagers from different middle schools play against each other in increasingly tougher tournaments. Somehow, and with no help from magic or technology, they pick up a few physics defying moves along the way.
Gakuto is one of such players with impossible moves. He claims to be the best at acrobatic tennis in the series, which is code for "I can jump 30 feet in the air and insult you a few times before coming down." Yeah, Gakuto loves taunting and intimidating other players with his mad skills, so he can claim victory before his stamina runs out. Like his teammates, Gakuto attends Hyotei Academy, the series's rich snob school. One unfortunate secondary effect is that he is very much convinced of his superiority and will hot-headedly claim foul play or having been taken advantage of should the team suffer a defeat. Gakuto is essentially a very prideful kid, sometimes to dumbass levels, who doesn't allow others to mess with his friends. As well, his signature move, the Moon Sault, shows his fascination with flying--he collects feathers and he wishes to sprout wings on his back.

Stop. Stop! STOP. Cheaters, this is playing really dirty! Wasn't our school supposed to challenge yours to a tennis match? We all agreed, so where's the rest of my team? I've been walking for miles and all I've seen is a "you're walking in circles" sign three times in a row. I'm starting to get pissed! Being alone with my bag in the middle of this wilderness and none of my teammates in sight . . . is that supposed to scare me? Not a chance.
For the record, I've only jumped up this tree because the ground is so messy and dirty with mud. My school uniform probably costs more than all your gorillas put together. Know how cats don't like water and instead clean themselves with their tongue? Well, if any gorilla gets my uniform stained, they're going to make like cats and give me a free dry-cleaning service in these clothes, with their tongues. No, I'm not afraid of the gorillas either. If we're competing over who can buy the weirdest animals in the black market, I bet Hyotei's taste is better than yours. Damn right.
What do you say around here when you get completely dominated by the other team? . . . Hmm, "you've been topped"? I've got it--like on a pizza or a crepe, right! Let me put this in your language then. You can keep your gorillas because when Hyotei buys animals, we'll get awesome birds . . . like condors; we'll get them topped with pepper spray breath, and laser eyes, and vampire fangs. Then you're going to see that I win because I have more toppings than you. Ahahaha! Where's your pepperoni now, huh?!
No way--you still wanna fight me after all I said? I'm more of a doubles specialist. And though all of you are making a racket down there, that's still not the same as holding a racquet. Have you ever even seen a tennis ball? . . . Hah! Well, you got half of it right, but you can put those away now, thank you. I shouldn't have even asked. Eh, this isn't how I usually do things, nevermind that I'm only one versus a whole bunch of you. But try and make it a real challenge for me, okay? You're going to have to move fast! Catch me if you can; this is Gakuto's special somersault return technique, the Moon Sault!
. . . I said Moon Sault, not Moon Salute. Stop telling me never to run from a real fight, it still has nothing to do with dropping my pants!
Poll Vote! Character: Kouryuu
Series:
WishCharacter Age: Unknown, looks seventeen, eighteen.
Canon: Wish is the story of Kouryuu: not only is he Satan's nephew, he's also a kickass, hot, smart not chubby powerful demon who goes to Earth in order to tease the hell out of the clumsiest, most innocent, chubbiest angel that has ever existed called Kohaku. If while doing that he gets to find yummy souls to feast upon or try a little draperape action, even better! Earth is a playground for demons to go around.
Or that's how Kouryuu would explain it. It actually might have a little bit more to do with Kohaku going down to Earth to search for the archangel of wind, getting in troubles and then being saved by a human doctor, Kohaku ends up living with the doctor because heavenly laws dictates that he owes him a wish as a way to thank him, but they're kinda in a stalemate, since said doctor doesn't have any kind of wish. Doesn't it sound much more interesting like I said it first?
A bit temperamental, extremely cocky and very mischievous, Kouryuu hates being bored and he really, really enjoys when others are suffering, especially Kohaku. Most of Kouryuu's time seems to be spent doing two things; plotting how to make Kohaku miserable, or actually pulling at Kohaku's metaphorical pigtails and making Kohaku cry, which happens to be his favoritest hobby ever. But he doesn't want Kohaku being too miserable. There's a balance to that, okay? Tsun? What tsun?
Sample Post:
So this is the place that uncle has been sponsoring for a few years now, eh? A prison for humans and angels, right in the middle of a swamp with no way out. We should have thought about this ages and ages ago! Oh, I can hear them already, crying and begging to be set free. Their misery feels really, really tasty. It's glorious! Even more! With so many people trapped here, I'm sure that idiot angel will be lured here to see if he can help! Oh, oh, I can just see it!
I have everything planned out! First, I'll drag him to the most gruesome, decaying, rotting zombies that I can find, and since he won't be able to help them, he'll start whimpering about how useless he is. Next, I'll take him to the Mess Hall and I'll make sure he's there as I eat some of that delicious soup and, to make everything even better, I'll be my amazing self while he's all chubby and silly looking! Just thinking about that feels so great! I bet he'll cry so much! I'm so excited!
I also bet the humans are suffering a lot too, eh? I can't wait to start playing with all of them! So many souls to feast on; I've not had an 'all you can eat' buffet in years! They can't have sex at all, so they'll be suffering while I enjoy myself here! And that idiot angel will be even more miserable when he can't help them at all! It's so perfect! Ahahaha!
No time to lose, then! You two, apes! Start with the soup! Add as many bits and pieces of flesh as you can, make sure its as red as possible! Remember, I'm fond of eyeballs, so add as many of those as you can. And you, zombies! Lose a limb or two, now! Make sure you are as pathetic looking as you possibly can, and make your moaning pitiful and devastating.
I know you're earless, but are you deaf as well? I said pitiful, not horny. I want more 'uughhh's than 'iyaaaaan's there. See, if I wanted you to 'iyaaaaan', I'd be doing this, see? Touching you like this, and getting close just like this, putting my arms around your neck, maybe pressing up against you... That's what makes you go 'iyaaaaan'.
You can stop now, I was just giving a practical example; you don't seem tasty and all, and even if you were, you'd probably break anyway. Where would be the fun on-- HEY. Hey! I said knock it off! Iyaa-- hey, no, no, bad zombie, bad!
Someone call my uncle! I don't want to be the one the zombies use to go 'iyaaaan'!

Series:
Persona 2: Innocent SinCharacter Age: 17
Canon:
In modern-day Japan, there is a city called Sumaru, and in it a mysterious figure known as the Joker grants people's wishes for the price of their dreams and 'ideal energy' -- a person's ability to have hopes and dreams. This causes them to become things called 'Shadow people' and slowly lose their sense of identity before literally fading out of existence. The protagonists fight to put a stop to the Joker using a manifestation of their inner selves known as 'Persona'. Jun, one of the heroes, joins the party near the end of the game.
Jun is soft-spoken, polite and is probably the sweetest person ever when it comes to his friends. But if you were to look deeper, you'll soon realize that Jun is really rather messed up. His personality is a cluster of contradictions; he's jaded, but tries his best to be optimistic, and no matter how nice he is to his friends, or how much he loves and wants to help humanity as a whole, he's usually antisocial and can be downright ruthless. He's basically a giant bag of issues. Jun is also a lover of plants and flowers everywhere, and sometimes even uses their language to convey his words. He tends to wear a slightly creepy smile when he talks about flowers, and uses a cryptic tone when he offers flowers to certain people, which gives the wrong impression of nefarious hidden agendas.
Sample Post:
When I was told that the flora in the camp needed tending, I already expected them to be in bad condition, but what I've just witnessed was much worse than what I've imagined...or so I originally thought. Everything is practically dead but the ones that are still alive look rather unique, and are definitely worthy of research. I'm rather curious as to what species a certain tree could be for it to grow undergarments. Overall, this feat of reviving all the plants and flowers would be an extremely difficult one, but I'm sure I'll be able to manage. Somehow. From what I managed to gather from the residents of camp, apparently their method for tending the plants hasn't exactly been ideal since, I quote, 'The director is a cheapskate', and wouldn't even spare extra funds for proper fertilizers, so the current caretakers were forced to use natural fertilizers such as human waste and the corpses of the zombies as substitutes.
I guess I could understand why she'd lower the priority of gardening since it does look like there are other aspects of the camp that require more attention, but I still believe that there's a certain relaxing quality about flora that shouldn't be ignored. Lavender, for example, helps calms the nerve, and rosemary has always been known to help improve memory, so that should be beneficial to a place of learning such as a summer camp. But ah, there are some problematic plants here, aren't there? Although things such as those mischievous vines could be dangerous to the more docile people, I'm rather torn on the subject of attempting to get rid of them. I've always believed that plants have minds and ones that can actually act on their own are to be considered a valuable work of art, and it would be a shame to destroy them.
Now I wonder if I could do something to persuade the director to change her mind concerning the gardening budget, as those plants do deserve much better treatment than they currently have. Perhaps I'll write a letter and send it along with a flower. There's an assortment I could choose from. How about a Snowdrop? It's a simple little flower, yet it could convey both my hope for her to see my reasons for trying to preserve the plant life, and as a consolation for the loss of her fiancé. Or maybe a dahlia? To appeal that the director is an elegant woman filled with dignity. One who will probably be sensible enough to make the right decision. Ah, but it'll probably be difficult to find those flowers here, so I should settle for the classic rose…perhaps with a twist.
Now please, moogle, deliver this to the director for me. Oh, but try not to touch the thorns. The results might be... unpleasant.
Poll Vote! Character: Tajima Yuichiro
Series: Ookiku Furikabutte
Character Age: 15
Canon: This is a heartwarming series about boys who find true love. And by true love, I mean baseball. The series revolves around the growth of a pitcher with low self-esteem, Mihashi, as his catcher, Abe, motivates him to believe in himself. But what about the rest of the team? All of Nishiura's first-year team diligently works to win the national high school baseball tournament, Koushien. With time, they repeatedly prove that it’s okay for there to be crying in baseball.
Batting clean up and shining at third base, Tajima proves without a doubt that you really shouldn’t underestimate short guys. Not that anything else about him could be called small! With an ego the size of Texas and enough stubbornness to keep going, he can do pretty much anything he sets his mind to. But his determination and true skills on the field make him a real asset to his coach and teammates. Off the field, Tajima is a pretty typical, if easily distracted and shameless, teenage boy who loves three things: baseball, food, and mucho masturbation.
Sample Post: Whoa, this place is pretty cool! It’s got like, everything! I was pretty pissed for a while, but then I saw that thing come out of the lake! I was so freaked I threw my ball at it. But then, this was so awesome, it threw the ball back! It’s got a pretty good arm for having tentacles, so it’d be cool to have it in a game! It's hard to play around the lake, though. Maybe we could play like, water baseball and get people to tie balloons to their feet and skate the bases. It’d be so awesome, and tentacle dude could play outfield! No, I bet he could be his own team!
Sucks that this wasn’t a real baseball camp, though. I was really looking forward to seeing for myself how American guys play baseball. I know the rules are the same, but different people have different playing quirks. It’s pretty interesting to watch! I bet I could have gotten a good game going, too. Now, it looks like I’m gonna be here a while anyway. Those guys that let me in looked at me kinda funny when I asked when camp ended. It’s a good thing I masturbated before I came! There is nothing worse than being distracted when you’re sharing a room with other guys. I am so never making that mistake again. Last time, I forgot and had to go without it for a whole week! I swear my dick was gonna explode!
Hey, I bet I could find some guys to play by that mess hall. People always show up where food is! Besides, it’s a good chance to see what kind of stuff they feed us around here. I bet they serve really good stuff like hamburgers and pizza! I want to try it so bad, but I’m so hungry I’d even settle for the rice balls we get after practice! So Mess Hall, here I come! Now, do I go this way... or is it to the right? You know, I bet that green kid can show me where things are. Yo, green kid, do you wanna go get some food? Huh, you think they’re going to be serving brains today? I thought they did that in France, not in America! I hope that’s not what we’re having!
… Doesn’t smell like brains to me! It smells like when the cafeteria would make that thing made out of all the leftover stuff nobody bought during the week. You know, the stuff nobody would get anyway because you’d see last week’s curried pork and seaweed floating around in the mi-hey, is that an EYE in that soup? Dude, that’s pretty sick. How can you even eat that? What’s that look for? You think you can eat more of it than me, don’t you? Here, let me at it; you are so ON!
Poll Vote! Character: Miyako
Series:
Hidamari SketchAge: 15
Canon: Looking for a series where the author inserts herself as a
strange Metapod-like creature? You've come to the right place.
Hidamari Sketch (also known as Sunshine Sketch, in the English manga release) is a slice-of-life series about four adorable art students and their adorable adventures in high school. Yuno, Miyako, Hiro, and Sae are all living on their own in the Hidamari Apartments, literally across the street from the high school they attend. The series follows this inseparable quartet as they do homework, travel, play, get sick, receive love letters... and basically live out a normal (and incredibly cute) high school life.
When you first meet Miyako, your initial impression will probably be of a girl who was off playing hide-and-seek the day they handed out impulse control. But spend some time with her and you'll see that... she's... actually like this all the time. Miyako is energetic and irrepressibly cheerful -- only her perpetually empty wallet can make her spirit flag, and that's only until the next distraction comes along. She's a good friend, kind and affectionate, but with a mischievous streak a mile long that you'd better watch out for. And sometimes she can be just plain weird, as befits someone living in an apartment complex known for attracting strange art students. In the end, Miyako is a goofball through and through, but she knows when she needs to be serious.
Meal time, for instance. Food is Serious Business.
