Weeding is done.
... and I weeded to the point where I pretty much, uhm, chopped out roughly a third to half the applications submitted. I did warn people that weeding would be harsher this round. D: Actually, I had more earmarked, but I felt absolutely awful about weeding that many already. Anyway, because of that, there will be more batches than usual, but they'll be smaller. It seems like the crit's generally been better when the batches are smaller, and it's just easier for me to get them up quicker when it's four to a batch.

Character: Sohma Kyou
Series: Fruits Basket
Age: 16
Canon: As the "outcast" member of the Zodiac curse that runs in his family, Kyou turns into a cat whenever he is hugged by a member of the opposite sex, or puts his body under a great deal of stress. He tends to be either treated badly or ignored by everyone in his family that knows of his curse, and even had to be raised by someone else because his parents blamed him for everything. This has caused him to be a bit shy and uncomfortable around people he doesn't know. He has a quick temper, is angry most of the time, and tends to use his anger without thinking. He's honest, and can be naive at times, but he is not stupid; However, the nickname "stupid cat" will get a rise out of him instantly.
As for Yuki, Kyou has a very obvious hatred for him. His biggest goal in life is to beat Yuki, to gain acceptance into his family, which is why he trains so hard at martial arts. He will challenge Yuki to any possible competition, and will never give up despite his constant loss.
Okay, so I don't know what's going on or what I'm doing here, but I'm going to find out. And what the hell is up with this letter? "Camp Fuck You Die"? Are they crazy or something? I know I wanted to leave to train some more, but this is a bit ridiculous.
Between those weird looking gorillas, and... Wait. What the hell…? These rats smell nasty, like they're dead... Why are they looking at me like that? Cut it out, damn it! Go and find that damn Yuki to follow around, and.... hey, come back with my shoe!
Damn it, why do I have to be reminded of that pretty boy again? He's like a disease I can't get rid of! ...And why should I bother to look for him? He can stay in this miserable place for all I care! Damn that Yuki for ruining everything... It's his fault that I'm here, I know it is!
...Mhn. This kind of looks like the lake on Sohma property, except for the... Did that thing just move? I'm not sure that's supposed to be alive either.. Hell, if that was what I think it was, I'm not eating fish for a while...
Did I mention that I want to get out of here? I mean, uh... Tohru might get worried from not hearing anything, and... I can't leave her there alone.

Character: Cher Horowitz
Series: Clueless (movie) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clueless
Age: 16
Canon: Cher is rich, popular, gorgeous, spoiled, shamelessly manipulative and a real sweetheart underneath it all. She doesn't hesitate to use her powers of persuasion for selfish reasons but she's also a hopeless romantic and really cares about saving the planet. She can be perceptive but most of the time she's pretty oblivious.
Her main thrill in life is giving makeovers because it gives her a sense of control and makes her feel altruistic. She's obsessed with fashion - she even has a program on her home computer to help her pick out her clothes.
She can be catty at times but ultimately she's a nice girl - wants to help the planet and humanity and intends to brake for animals when she gets her licence.
So, okay, so there was this party and there was an accident and one of daddy's statues got broken. It totally wasn't my fault but daddy got mad and he was all, "Cher, I'm sending you to summer camp."
I tried to explain that I'm way too old for summer camp and it's not even summer anyway but daddy was being totally unreasonable. He would not budge! Even worse, he only let me take three suitcases. I had to leave behind my gorgeous new Prada jacket.
He even made me take a bus. It smelt weird and unclean and the bus driver kept looking at me funny.
So, here I am.
I was feeling like such a loser at first! A gorilla attacked me and ripped my dress and I fell over and got mud in my hair and I tried to call daddy but my phone wouldn't work and I got really lost and I just wanted to go home! My dress got ruined and I didn't know where I was. I don't know who's in charge so I couldn't figure out who needed to come get me and I still don't know my way to the cabins. It seemed totally unfair.
But then, when I was walking around after the gorilla attack I found these really cute little squirrels that could draw! Isn't that totally amazing? They are so talented. Their art was a little bit more risque than I usually like but still majorly beautiful! Plus, they pointed me in the direction of this lake with these cute little maps. Aren't they totally wonderful? Who knew squirrels could be so smart?
The lake is so pretty! It's all sparkly and I think it has some really interesting fish in it. I think that one with the tentacles waved at me! I even managed to clean my hair but the shoes are a total write-off.
Most of the welcoming committee are total barneys and the women aren't looking any better. They're in dire need of skin care products and such total fashion emergencies. I've told them that the horror movie look is so out but I don't think they're listening. They keep talking about brains. I don't get it but I think they might be on drugs.
One of them looks like she hasn't changed her outfit since 1954. I told her that retro chic was hard to pull of but she could do it if she just changed things up a little. I totally had the perfect shoes to go with her outfit - it pained me to part with them but if I must sacrifice something for the sake of fashion then so be it. I also combed out her hair and gave her styling tips. She had these cute little hair clips just hiding somewhere under the mess and now she looks like a total betty.
She says her name is Marlene. She looks so much happier now that I've made her over a bit. I really think I've done a good thing.
Suddenly, my mission is clear. I have to teach the natives the value of a proper skin care regime and accessorising. I really think I can help people in this way.

Character: Stellar Loussier
Series: Gundam Seed Destiny
Age: 17
Canon: Stellar Loussier is one of the three Extended (druggies) of GSD, and pilot of the Gaia Gundam. Stellar has the mindset of a child, and often refers to herself in the 3rd person. She's usually quiet and sweet, until her block word is mentioned (Death). She 'falls' in love with Shinn afer he saves her from drowning and says that he will protect her. Stellar talks coherently only near the very end of the series.
Stellar doesn't want to go to Camp Fuck You D, but Stellar wants to meet Shinn! Auel told Stellar that if she wanted to see 'that damned ZAFTie' so badly that Stellar should just leave already and stop being 'a giddy fool.' Stellar wanted to ask him if he meant the last part, but Neo pulled Stellar aside and told Stellar to leave Auel alone until he had his 'happy drugs!'
Stellar is at camp now, and it's already a lot of fun! Stellar remembers that Neo told Stellar to stay away from mushrooms, and anyone with red eyes. Stellar wonders if this applies to mirrors, because Stellar has red(ish) eyes too. Stellar will destroy all mirrors she sees just in case. Neo mentioned if Stellar didn't like camp, he would come and take Stellar back home. But Stellar wants to stay! Stellar has found a lake, and Stellar likes playing a game called 'Who gets grabbed' with the tentacles. In the game, Stellar guesses who the tentacles will snatch next. Stellar thinks it's a fun game because the people make funny noises when they get taken. The tentacles give Stellar a pat on the head everytime Stellar guesses correctly.
Stellar came across a cabin full of popsicle sticks earlier and decided to make stick people. Stellar made a stick Auel, a stick Sting, a stick Shinn, and a stick well... Stellar was trying to make a stick Neo, but Stellar didn't have enough sticks. Stellar is sure that Neo won't mind being armless. Auel told Stellar that Neo doesn't need arms anyway. Stellar heard that Neo is able to control his MS with his head. Stellar wants to see that. Does Neo's hair control the MS while he presses buttons with his nose? Or is it the other way around?
Stellar also found a strange book in the popsicle cabin. When Stellar opened it and typed in Camp Fuck U D, it gave Stellar this.
Camp Fuck You D(ie), probably the biggest cause of the universal unbalance of emo. Located in an undisclosed location in Louisiana, the camp proclaims itself 'the happiest place on Earth'. The 'happiness' of the camp however, has been overrun by the continual addition of angst ridden campers. The universal balance of Emo has been kept in tact for millions of centuries, by your father's father's grandmother and so on. Over the past six months, scientists had noticed a gradual, constant movement of major bodies of angst to Louisiana. The scientists were alarmed, and posted their findings to the public, who excommunicated the scientists and ignored their findings. Six months and 12,000 scientists later, the public realized that they just might have been telling the truth.
This extremely concentrated ammount of emo will cause the Universe to collapse in around itself, first pulling everyone into dispair and angst, before finally deciding to get on with it and disappear entirely.
... Stellar is glad that she isn't an Emo.

Character: Fujiwara no Sai
Series: Hikaru no Go
Links: (Sensei’s Library rocks!)
A solid summary sans spoilers w/ lots of extra info for those interested
A nice intro to the game of
Go
Age: Ghost for around 1000 years. Age at death usually
estimated between 17 and 20.
Canon: Sai is a 1000 year old ghost who was once a member of the
Heian era court and one of two Go tutors to the emperor. Go is his life
and his love. At the Heian palace he played Go every day and when he was
cast out and lost his position due to being falsely accused of cheating he
drowned himself. Solely because he could no longer play Go. He’s haunted a
Go board since, only leaving it to possess Honinbou Shuusaku (a famous
historical Go player) and Shindou Hikaru, because his desire to play more Go
was so strong that he couldn’t pass on. To reiterate: Sai is utterly
obsessed with Go.
Sai’s only other loves are Shuusaku (whom he adored and greatly respected)
and Hikaru (whom he taught how to play and even on occasion will defer his
own desire to play so that Hikaru may play and grow).
Sai is a character of extremes. At times he can act very much like a child,
ranging from childlike innocence and excitement to the occasional selfish
temper tantrum. He tends to be excitable. However he can also be very
serious and mature, especially when a game of Go is involved or someone has
acted in a way he disapproves of (he especially dislikes those who cheat and
act dishonorably). He will challenge these people to games so that they may
see the error of their ways or to prove points.
I want to play Go. I . . . I’m back? Where-? A~!
I have a body again!!
Thanks be to the gods!
I
can once again hold the stones! ♥
♥ Hikaru~ Where are you~?
♥ ♥ Come play with me~ ♥ ♥ ♥
Hikaru?
I’m not in Tokyo- Aii! Don’t sneak up on me like- Let me go! How rude. It is
very ill-mannered to. . .
What are you?
No matter. I, Fujiwara no Sai, challenge you to a game! And if I win you
shall never again touch anyone in such a manner. Do you accept?
Is that a yes?
Anou~ Because we have no board and I don’t know where the local Go salon is
we will have to make do without one. But the game shall be more challenging
this way! ♥
17, 4! Komoku.
. . .
. . .
. . .
Mou~ It’s your move!
. . .
Oh my! Its head exploded! Perhaps playing without a board was too much for it?
Well! If it, whatever it is, can’t play Go with me I’ll find someone who
can.
♥ Can someone tell me where the Go salon is? ♥
((Apper note: The apper has several reasons for giving Sai a body. If anyone
would like them explained please ask.))
