Character: Zatch Bell
Series: Zatch Bell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zatch_Bell)
Age: Unknown. Looks and acts like an elementary school aged kid.
Canon: Hey, did you know that there’s a world of demons? Did you also know that every 1,000 years they send one hundred of their kind to do battle in the human world to determine who will be their king? Well, you learn something new everyday! Zatch is one such demon, although he’s not power hungry and evil like many of his brethren. No, Zatch is a sweet and childlike demon who wants to win the battle so that he can become a kind king and possibly end the bloodthirsty fights for good. He’s also not bright enough to appreciate the irony of beating other people up to achieve peace, but hey - his heart’s in the right place!
Oh yeah, he also kind of wears a dress.
There sure are a lotta people around here that aren't happy. Why? There's so much stuff in life to be happy about!
- Toys
- Food
- ... uh, toys that can be food...
See! So why do I see so many people bein' sad? This place is awesome! There's even a monster ride in the lake! Oh, uh... well, there used to be. Someone kinda ate one of the tentacles off. Someone that definately wasn't me because I was in a totally different part of camp at the time!
...
Okay, so it was me. I'm really really sorry! I was soooo hungry and it looked sooo tasty! I looked at it and I started thinking about octopus balls and that only made me hungrier and before I knew it I'd chewed off a whole arm. It tasted just like the real thing, too! Mmm, it was so good! My mouth is watering just thinking about... no! Keep yourself together, Zatch!
I'm sorry! Really I am! I want to be a kind king, and I don't think eating other people's monster rides and then lying about it is the sorta thing a good king does. To make it up to everyone, I made mudpies! Don't everyone crowd around at once, I made more than enough for everybody! If you're really lucky, maybe you'll get one of the ones with a worm in it!

Character: Tobias
Series: Animorphs
Age: 15 years old
Canon: Body stealing alien slugs are secretly taking over Earth, and the only thing stopping them is an alien and five human kids given the ability to morph for two hours at a time into any animal they can touch. They call themselves "Animorphs."
Tobias was a dreamer, a geek, and a bully magnet. But when he overstayed the two hour morph limit, he got trapped in morph as a hawk, forcing him to learn to take care of himself. A powerful being helped him regain the ability to morph, but he remains trapped between the world of a hawk and a human.
You know, there are times when having excellent eyesight can come in really handy. When you're trying to find something small or well hidden, for example. When you're trying to track something that moves really fast. Or even when you're just trying to read small print from far away. "When you're trapped in the middle of a zombie infested summer camp," though? Yeah, that's really not one of them.
Now, don't get me wrong. I've seen maggots before. Maggots, I can pretty much handle. But I find that when I see a maggot come crawling out of the nose of a person that's still moving around and walking, telling myself that they're supposed to be dead doesn't really help bring back my appetite. I don't know, maybe it's just me.
On the other hand, I'm sure that my breakfast was relieved it got to live to see another day.
Maggots aside, though, this place actually seems to be pretty okay for a place I was just sort of randomly dropped into. Which of course means that the other shoe just hasn't dropped yet. Trust me, I speak from personal experience when I say that randomly appearing in strange places never, ever ends well.
It's possible that I'm just being pessimistic, though. Not likely, but possible. Just how much worse could things possibly get?

Character: Fllay Allster
Series: Gundam Seed
Age: 15
Canon: Fllay lived a life of pampered luxury and was likely on the path of socialite..dom.. until a pesky little war went and interfered with her ambitions. She's bratty, superficial, manipulative, arrogant, loud, and heavily opinionated, but these are all minor character flaws when compared to her blatant bigotry. Through most of the series, Fllay takes a very strong stance against the genetically-enhanced Coordinator race; she'd like them dead. Dead, and maybe turned into LifeGems for shits, giggles, and profits.
It's not all bad with Fllay though. She's an open and social girl, with a fierce loyalty to good hygiene (and sometimes to her friends), an honest nurturing instinct, and a willingness to embrace responsibility. She's also unafraid of confrontation, either positive or negative, through words or through actions.
And in the end, she really does see the error of her ways and wants to make amends. It's even implied that she recognizes that Coordinators have the right to exist. Unfortunately, she's never given the chance to explore these shiny new revelations.
This is nuts!
You know, I actually thought that after a few years awaiting my fate, filled with nothing but flashbacks to bad hair days, my dad's ship exploding, wardrobe malfunctions, broken nails, broken relationships, colony explosions, nuclear explosions, acne explosions, and hard-water showers - all narrated in song by some squeaky-voiced kid with bad hair - anything would be a welcomed change.
I guess I was wrong... I mean, at first, even though I woke up unkempt and all alone in the middle of some smelly swamp, I had hope! I thought my sacrifices would end with my cleanliness. But then ... I saw the people here - my "fellow campers" - and ... and I'm not impressed!
Look at you people! Half of you abandoned proper hygeine in favour of rotting while the other half includes a bunch of Shape-Shifting, Magic-Casting, Super-Heroing, Coordinating FREAKS!! Is it really just me who respects Nature's intentions? Is it?! What's so wrong with being normal?
Oh, and by the way - to every one of you reading this? I really couldn't care less if I hurt your poor little feelings! There's no way I'm apologizing for speaking the truth!
Hmph! Now, if you'll all just excuse me, I'll be taking a series of nice, long showers and then burying myself beneath a blanket, wishing I were back with the squeaky kid. (It wasn't all bad; I was wearing a really cute outfit in the fifth broken nail flashback.) If any natural campers would like to keep me company, I can make up some crepes. Cherry ones!
One last thing - Camp Director? I have a feeling you and that jerk who told me I needed more "cow bell" as I was explaining the value of proper hygeine might come to regret arming me, if you know what I mean! A girl of my stature really shouldn't be treated this way after all!

Character: Cloud Strife
Series: Final Fantasy VII (Just after the first disc)
Age: 21
Canon: By the end, of the first Final Fantasy VII disc, the sarcastic, confident SOLDIER First Class that Cloud is will be a less sarcastic, slightly insane, and depressed wreck. With the death of one of his newly met close friends and the fact that his old general (Sephiroth) calls him a puppet, and he believes it, Cloud quickly loses some of his senses. He gets angrier at himself and withdraws even more than before. Unluckily, he has more in store for him including the realization that his memory isn't actually his, but that'll come at a later time. For now, Cloud is in the strangest place he has ever been in, and nothing-not his relationships or his hallucinations-make sense and he ends the disc swearing to track Sephiroth down.
Also, from this point on, he acts in a generally flippant way towards everyone he meets. It's only in moments of vulnerability when he'll actually react truthfully to someone. Outside of that, he treats both strangers and friends with a sort of detachment.
If these are images of the Promised Land...we really should just give it to Sephiroth.
Is this what we're fighting for? Is this what people are dying for? Some land and a lake of mako just sitting there, waiting for someone to fall in and drown or die from poisoning? I don't think that's a healthy kind of glow, anyways...even for unstable earth energy that can destroy the world. I can do this though. I'm an ex-SOLDIER, First Class. This is an easy job.
But my buster sword...it does nothing. Not that I have to worry about it. The inhabitants seem pretty busy trying to chase around that guy in the red clothes, and I should probably go help him--!
Well, at least his flying animals were able to get away. Now I have to focus on getting out of this dream. I knew I'd have nightmares after...that happened, but I didn't think it'd be nightmares like this! Where is...
I can handle this. I can handle this. I have to save the world, so I can deal with this. Yeah, after all, I've been molested in my sleep before. Even though that was out of my control. Which would make me feel a lot better than knowing that I'm dreaming about dead...things...molesting me.
And I can't Revive them to death. That's okay, I'm okay. Things don't always die when you bring them back to life.
Really though, the radioactive lake probably isn't that bad. I'll take my chances, I have to wake up and get back--
I thought I just felt--
Would Sephiroth leave a part of his mother in a lake of Lifestream?
...I'm sorry, Aeris. This is all my fault...
