Character: Johnny Rayflo
Series: Vassalord
Character Age: OVER 9000--okay, no, but he's way old. (Physical age is 42)
Job: Occult Supervisor and Advisor Storyteller
Canon: Upon first impression, the world of Vassalord seems to be pretty much Earth, 2008, as we know it. Maybe a few years in the future. And then you realize that one of the main characters is a cyborg-vampire-hunter-priest and the other is a vampire. This makes it less like the world as it is. Take the current world, pour in a couple cups of way advanced technology, add a tablespoon or two of supernaturalism, stir, and top it all off with a dash of homosparkles. VOILA, one Vassalord world, ready for consumption. Serve while hot ♥
You'd think Johnny'd be angry and bitter, being a vampire living in a world mostly convinced that his kind doesn't actually exist… On the contrary! Johnny is loud and silly, comfortable with himself and not afraid of looking the fool. He's easy-going, polite and can be quite the charming, suave man when he feels like it. Fond of tossing a sex joke into casual conversation simply for the reaction it provokes, Johnny's often the victim of comedic violence and he likewise responds in a melodramatic manner. He's the type to be all sensual one moment, and bouncing heartmarks the next.
The child he raised, Charley, is very important to him, and is often on his mind.

NO NO NO, you guys are DOING IT WRONG. Now, does anyone remember what we already learned in the past few days~? Anyone? Anyone at all? Seriously? Weeeell, let's try something else!
♥ YOU ARE ALL ZOMBIES ♥
Everyone, repeat after me~ "I am a zombie!" Well, no, I'm not but it's the PRINCIPLE of the matter. Ready? On three now: one, two three! I. AM. A-- no, no, see. "Brains" doesn't equal "zombie." Let's try that again, shall we? I. AM. A. ZOMBIE! And aaagain! I AM A ZOMB--OW! No, no, don't repeat that! Zombow isn't even a word and…what. A note from the Director, huh. That's surprising, I was under the impression she's not really one for the whole open-communication thing. I guess the whole note tied to a rock tossed at SOMEONE'S HEAD bit matches her personality description though. Lessee…
Storyteller? Wait a sec, I don't DO storyteller! My job here's to be the super important and irreplaceable Occult Supervisor And Advisor! That's what I'm an expert in! It's not MY fault these guys are slow. What kind of stories am I supposed to tell? …Looks like I'm the last person to find out about this change of plans! I was wondering why there were so many little kids today though I didn't even know zombies came in bite-sized; guess that answers my question.
Storytelling, hmm. Aah, but all my stories are, well. It's probably best if the little ones weren't around, if you get my drift. After all, the best tales are the ones with a happy~ ending~ You know what I mean✯ Oh come on, you're a big kid now, aren't you? At least you taller ones, hmm? Gotta be at least seventeen, eighteen the way you're…aaah! You're blushing, you're blushing, how cute~ It reminds me of someone I left back home ♥ I wonder how he's doing…but he'd probably hit me if he knew what I was thinking, hahaha!
Oh, right, stories. So…I guess I'm your storyteller now! Gather round, kiddies, gather round and listen to your Uncle Johnny. ALL of you kids. BY WHICH I MEAN put your ears back on! I see you trying to hide them in your shirt. Brats. Sit down and stay put while I think of something to tell you guys that's, uh…safe for work. In the most literal sense, haha. And you, the one trying to sneak up on me, put that back in your pants. Your knife, of course what else would I mean? THE ONE YOU'RE HIDING BEHIND YOUR BACK! Someone might get annoyed if I let myself get impaled with the pointy end of something long and hard while he's gone, you know~
asdkjfhasIT WAS A JOKE! PUT IT AWAY!
Okay, okay! At least I know some fairytales. Funny thing, really, about fairytales… They're used to amuse children nowadays, aren't they? And zombie children aren't that different from human children, I guess. Stories the way they were originally meant to be told would be much more interesting though. No harm in telling you guys something like that, I guess. It's my role now, after all~ I'll be your teacher-slash-storyteller. Something simple to start, I think. Snow White sounds good. Didn't end with just the prince sweeping her off to a happily ever after, you know. There're layers to the tale. Sooo… Hair of ebony, lips of blood, skin as snow-- Wait, that's not how it started. Uhh…
…………can I go home if I tell them the story Miss Director Lady.

Xenosaga TrilogyCharacter Age: 23
Job: Artificial Intelligence Relationship Counselor
Canon: Contains spoilers for the series.
Xenosaga takes place in a future where space travel is as commonplace as going to the grocery store, synthetic humans have human rights and bombs in their heads, Christianity references abound, planets disappear, and God puts people in comas. Enter the gnosis, the mysterious aliens from another plane of existence that phase through walls and space ships and turn people into pillars of salt.
Shion Uzuki, while working for Vector Industries, was the Chief Engineer of the KOS-MOS project, a weapons system designed to combat the ever-present threat of the gnosis. Highly intelligent and with a cheerful disposition, Shion is ever the optimist. She tends to excel at anything she puts her mind to, especially if she is driven. She is deeply connected with KOS-MOS, and it was revealed that they share a history from her past life on Earth, now called Lost Jerusalem. She also has a complicated relationship with her brother, Jin, due to their parents tragic death.

CFUD Artificial Intelligence R&D Report, file number 000-001. Having begun examinations the Camp's network, I have so far been able to conclude that inside of each computer system is an AI that is capable of perception and goal-directed behavior. They appear to act on their own volition, as well as in accordance with the commands prompted by The Director. I believe that the mischievous behaviors exhibited by these AIs are not the result of a virus or hack attempt, as foreign AIs who are not originally from the camp appear unaffected. Another type of monitoring and surveillance agent operates inside the network, tracking computer usage and blocking certain tasks, such as sending and receiving e-mails or downloading pornography of most kinds. However, although these AI's prohibit the user from searching for it, themselves have been known to create or find lewd material, in the form of literature or images, of their owners. They sometimes do it in a way that seems like an attempt to impress their users, rather than in malicious intent.
I am especially interested in the small droids known as the Moogle series, that are able to save virtual copies of a person's body, memories, and even clothing. They appear to have their own language, uttering "Kupo" at the end of every sentence. The meaning of "Kupo" is currently unknown, but it appears that there have been mishaps during the revivification process involving people switching bodies for a small amount of time. This will likely become a major focus of my future research.

Poll Vote! Character: Antonio Fernandez Carriedo/Spain
Series: Axis Powers Hetalia
Character Age:physically 25
Job:Camp Spanish Teacher
Canon: Hey, wake up! Axis Powers Hetalia is not your high school history class. A webmanga that is about world history, focusing mainly on Italy and World War II, Hetalia makes learning history a lot more entertaining, especially considering that the countries involved are anthropormorphized into moe nation-tans. Despite all the jokes in the series, world history isn't exactly filled with sunshine and rainbows, so, someone needs to always look on the bright side of things, right?
Spain is just that person! Spain, otherwise known as Antonio Fernandez Carriedo is an extremely bright person. After surviving years of being picked on by England and being beaten by a much younger America, Spain managed to overcome these, and any other hardship through his Española Optimism! A people-person, Spain is friendly to everyone, whether they are ally or enemy. He might even offer you some nice, juicy tomatoes to snack on.

HELLO MY NEW FRIENDS!
It is so nice to visit America at his home even if he currently lives in a swamp. But the type of land on which America makes his home shouldn't matter, now should it? No! Because no matter the landscape, it is still part of this planet which we all call home, don't you agree with me my green friend?
Oh, it seems that one of your arms has fallen off! Well, let me help you with that! There now, all better, right? Of course it is, you probably needed that arm to do your daily activites with, even though you have two of the same arm, I've heard of two left feet, but having two right arms must be amazing! Here, have a nice tomato as a treat, I know you must be hungry what with you just standing there, staring at me munching on my tomato with that hungry look in your eyes and besides, you've earned it, it's not everyday that someone loses an arm and has it reattached. By the way, could you tell me where I'm supposed to go? My boss told me that he had a job for me to do here as a goodwill mission, something about being a Spanish teacher at a summer camp called Camp Fuck You Die, funny name for a camp if I do say so myself....what?
You're telling me that this is Camp Fuck You Die! Oh, where are my manners? I'm Spain, or should I say España, and I'll be your Spanish teacher here! First lesson is proper greetings! You could start off by introducing youself by saying "¡Hola! Me llamo..." and inserting your name after "llamo." Now you try it!
So your name is Graaaaagh, uh? Funny name if I do say so myself, but...hey! You can't do that! I gave you that tomato to eat, not to throw at your friends! I know having food fights are a lot a fun, but what if someone loses an eye or something....and I'm pretty sure that when someone loses a head it's gone too far!
Poll Vote! Character name: King Julian
Series: The Madagascar movies
Age: He's an adult lemur, possibly in his 30s/late 20s or whatever that is in lemur years.
Job: Future Ruler of CFUD
Canon: Madagascar is a film about a bunch of talking zoo animals who venture from New York out into the wild, well one of them anyway, the others get roped into it by trying to bring him back to the zoo. Now, doesn't that sound like fun? After a few hijinks involving a cranky old lady, a missed train, and a SWAT team, they end up being transported to the island of Madagascar, hence the title Madagascar.
Which is where King Juilian comes in. He is the king of all the lemurs on the island, and isn't afraid to let everyone know that. He's thinks the world of himself, and won't mind letting the people around him know when they're not meeting his standards. In spite of this, his subjects really admire him, because he really knows how to throw a party! Besides being a party-animal, (pun intended), and egotistical, he can be a big help to his friends...provided that they follow his orders.
Sample Entry:
Ah-ha! Greetings peasants and lesser beings, prepare to bow down before me! Your future ruler, the original King Julian, has arrived! Hooray! Party, party, party...party...? Hey, what happened to the party? I was promised a party, ya know, to celebrate me being the future ruler of this little swamp...bog...thing. It was supposed to be a really big party with a really big banner, and streamers, and confetti, and a pinata! I really like pinatas, especially when I get to hit it with the little stick thingy, and all the candy starts spilling out, and then I get to eat all the candy! But then my tummy starts hurting and I start to throw up...I wonder why that happens.
I really am going to have to file a complaint to that Director lady, um, what was her name again? I think it starts with an S or something...Susan, maybe? Or maybe Sheryl, oh , or Susanna! No, no, she didn't really look like a Susanna. Oh wait! Now I remember, it was Sussudio! Su-su-sudio! Huh...it's kind of a weird name but it'll have to do. Ya know, maybe I won't send a complaint to Director Sussudio, because the last time I tried to get through to her, I had to wait for a whole hour! Now, is that any way to treat a king? I didn't think so. And besides, ya know, she's really, really cranky! Woo! Don't even get me started!
So, you freakish-looking green primates are going to be my subjects, huh? Oh, and the really ugly purple ones too? Great! With my superior brain power and your strength, we will be able to conquer all that stands in my way. And I vow as the future ruler of CFUD, that as my subjects you will be given all the "BRAAAAAINSSS!!!" and bananas you can eat! Provided that you do everything I say and never talk back to me. It all works out, yes?
I also vow as the future ruler to give this place a name that is truly befitting a great king like myself. I mean, CFUD? What's that supposed to mean anyway? It's not even a real word! Can someone tell me what it stands for? Yes, you! The one with no nose! ...Camp What!?
Oh, I'm definitely going to have change that! It's too negative! This place needs a name will show off my true greatness as a leader. Hey, I've got it! I will name this place...Camp Julian I Rule! Because my name is Julian and I rule, pretty creative, no?

Series:
Nabari no OuCharacter Age: 27
Job: Non-Pedophilic Collector of Children
Canon: Ninjas are among us. In modern times there exist both the Front World, where the normal populace goes on with life unaware, and the World of Nabari, a shadow society of ninjas of whom many strive after the elusive Shinrabanshou, the ultimate hijutsu of godly omnipotence. Nabari no Ou is the story of Miharu, the holder of Shinrabanshou who wants nothing to do with it, and his attempts to survive in this ninja-eat-ninja world. Use it, seal it, the bottom line is that everyone wants a piece of Miharu's "wisdom" and they're not afraid to dirty their hands for it.
Yukimi is a member of Kairoushuu, one of the ninja groups after the Shinrabanshou and the kinjutsu scrolls required to activate and extract it. In the Front World he acts as a freelance writer, while in Nabari he's off busy with missions and looking after the young ninjas placed in his care. Though he makes every attempt to appear cool, collected and nonchalant, it's hard to rein in his temper and he's got no problem making childish outbursts should anyone annoy or offend him. To underlings and superiors alike his speech leans heavily toward the informal. As the field operations squad leader he's damn good at his job and has rarely failed a mission. Despite being antagonized by the very kids he looks after and claiming he hates them, the truth is he can and does grow soft spots for them. Once attached, Yukimi will protect them and sacrifice important things for their safety and happiness. Even becoming a traitor and risking his life to find the two boys he cares for most.

Never thought I'd say this, but man does it suck working with the dead.
Okay, zombie brat. You're lost and you got two options. One, you find your way back to your little zombie family on your own, or two, I help you my way. My way does not involve letting you sample my brains first. I need mine and I can't help you without them, it's one or the other. You want my help, you're gonna stand still, shut up and yes that means stop moaning for brains. You look like you're about to fall apart if you don't get any soon.
Not literally! Goddamnit, I didn't mean.... For crying out loud, it'll be no good if the kid I'm escorting, zombie or no, doesn't get there all in one piece! It is my mission to get you from point A to point B, your family, with all limbs in tact. As in tact as they already are. I swear on my life as a ninja I will reunite you with them. Momma Zombie, Daddy Zombie and your little twin sister zombies will be so friggin' happy to see you they'll stop moaning for brains themselves and jump for joy. No, no, I'm sure they're smart enough, at least your parents are, from eating all those brains that they'll know their limit and won't fall apart themselves in their celebration. Yeah. What the hell.
Is that fine? Are we capiche on this? You no touchy my brain and I help you find them? Good? Good. And-- shit goddamn, no drooling or getting gross crap on me either. I'm not about to carry you around so quit trying to climb onto my back. Right now. No piggyback rides even with good behavior. If you're strong enough to climb you're strong enough to walk behind or beside me. I don't care which so long as you don't walk too slowly. Yes, lurching is fine; I don't care about the technicalities. Just make sure you're following me.
Don't look at me like that. What. What are you... You're... smiling. Great. That's the first time I've ever seen... such a white smile. No, I promise I'm not saying that just because your lips have rotted so much.
Eh. Guess a brat like you's got a little bit of charm after all. Maybe. Now where does your little zombie family live, any identifying landmarks nearby or types of terrain, uh....
You got a name, kid? Grngggh? I'll call you Guru-kun. Lurch after me, Guru-kun.
