Character: Kagami Arata
Series: Kamen Rider Kabuto
Age: 21

Canon: worm -- noun. 1) an annelid, 2) that damn addictive computer game, 3) shape-shifting monsters from space that threaten humanity after crashing to Earth via one (1) meteorite seven years ago. Luckily, ZECT -- a mysterious organization that fights against the Worms -- has the perfect solution to combat them. By using ZECT's Masked Rider System, crafted specifically as a weapon to be used against the Worms, the Riders are able to transform and fight on par with these monsters and keep humanity happy and safe and all that jazz.

Kagami Arata is everyone's bitch. It's okay; if you were in the series, he would probably be your bitch too, since he is topped by everyone and everything ever whether he likes it or not. A field agent in ZECT and later Kamen Rider Gatack, Kagami is likely the sanest of all the Riders, being a rather duty-oriented sort. He's a Good Boy at heart and someone who wants to believe in the best in everyone! Yes, even that small child that stabbed him in the chest several times. (He got better!) Kagami's kind of dumb like that. That aside, Kagami is also an impulsive type, and tends to complain rather loudly when the work gets tossed onto him. But once he gets an idea into his head, he'll dive into it headfirst and follow it through, even if it puts him at odds with his comrades. But it's all good since these are the very same people who top him into anything and everything they possibly can. After all, what are friends for?

Sample Post:

Why do I have to be the one to do this mission for ZECT?! There are lots of other people they could have sent to a place like this. "It's a potential Worm nest," they said. "You're the only one that we could send to do take care of it!" they said. As if they were serious! They just didn't want to check on it themselves. This is going to be a waste of my time. Why would the Worms be out in a completely different country, anyway? Even I could have told them it was a stupid idea to come out here! And I did, too! They didn't even listen ... tch. I've been out here for twenty-four hours now and there's no sign of anything like a Worm! In fact, the only nests of anything that I can see around here are zombie ne--

... Wait. Zombies? H-- Hold it! My briefing didn't say anything about zombies! It's ... true that some strange things came up during it, now that I think about it. There was-- something about the lake? They even said there was "something in the water," too ... something that affected people's behavior. But they were talking about America! Doesn't that sort of thing happen all the time in this country? Nothing seemed that strange about it. But then again, there were also pictures in the briefing from sightings of gorillas in this camp. ... Gorillas in North America, which is the wrong continent entirely. ... Gorillas that are purple, which is the wrong color entirely. S-- still, at least they're supposed to exist! After all, it's a summer camp -- they're supposed to be teaching the children things about nature! But what's so natural about a zombie, huh?!

Yeah, there's definitely something suspicious about this place. Worm or not ... if it's a potential threat to the human race, then it's something I should look into, isn't it? There might be a real mission here after all. And besides, I can't allow any sort of injustice to happen to the people here, if that's what's happening. I have to help! If I think I'm right, then I should dash straight forward! ... Hey! Hey, you five by the lake! I need to speak with you! You're zombies, aren't you? What do you want with this place, anyway? If you're going to harm the people of this camp, then I can't allow that to happen.

Eh? ... you're the President of the Zombie Federation? Since when did zombies have enough of an attention span for a system of their own?! ... I-- I'm sorry, Mr. President. I didn't mean to offend you, but-- it's strange! Aren't you guys usually a cult or something? ... a family man. But your daughter was kidnapped by Marcy, the tentacle monster in the lake? And that's why you're out here? I-- while I'm grateful that you're not attacking people around here, getting involved in something like this wasn't a part of my mission. Somehow, I don't think it's as simple as "save the zombie, save the camp" either. Please don't start begging-- h-hey, you shouldn't lose your head over this--!!

... Fine. Fine. I can be a "bad enough dude" to save the President's daughter from Marcy.

Character: Ryoji Mochizuki
Series: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
Character Age: 17
Canon: The best way to save the world using your alter-ego? Shoot yourself in the head. Minato Arisato is a third-year student at Gekkoukan High School in Iwadotai. He's quickly introduced to the Dark Hour, the time between 12:00 a.m. and 12:01 a.m. that's overrun with wicked beings called Shadows. In order to keep the peace, S.E.E.S. (Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad) wields invokers shaped as hand-guns, calling forth their Persona, or embodiment of their other selves, to fight the horrors threatening them.

The third and last transfer student of the year at Gekkoukan is a spunky, flirty, cheerful young boy named Ryoji Mochizuki. He spends most of his time macking on girls, asking them out on dates, and hiding in hot springs waiting for girls to come. He has in all of his endeavors, produced quite a following that flutters shamelessly after him at Gekkoukan High. His casual attitude draws the people who are around him closer. SPOILER: As the last two months of the game progresses, Ryoji becomes plagued when his true nature is realized, tipping between a guilty conscience and the love that he shares with those he cares about.

Sample Post: Hello, ladies. I was asked, personally, by the lovely Ms. Elizabeth Sayre to give you some instruction on how to date men. Now, now, don't crowd, I'll get to everyone's questions as soon as the seminar's over. You know, I really don't think calling the it "It Dropped Between Their Legs: An Insight into the Male Mind" is really the right kind title for this seminar, it really seems to have attracted an interesting crowd. It doesn't look anything like I imagined. Ahaha, well, I didn't have much of a choice in the matter, so we should just get down to business, right? I'm sure you've all been waiting long enough. All right, I'll start by introducing myself, I'm Ryoji Mochizuki. I'm only seventeen, but I can assure you all that I've had plenty of experience in the field of dating pretty girls.

Why don't we start with how to approach a guy that you like? The real key is to make casual conversation. Things like "how are you doing today?" and "I think you just touched my heart!" Ask what he likes to do in his spare time. If he says that he likes dating girls, then you know you've got a keeper. The best thing to do is listen. If you forget about trying to make him interested in you, and show that you're really interested in him, then things'll go smoothly. Give a bright smile, because from where I'm standing, you all have beautiful smiles, ladies. No man will be able to resist. Though, you know, a tight sweater might not hurt. Oh? A question already?

Is it difficult for romance to blossom as long as the no-sex rule's in effect? Well, not all relationships are based around that, dating someone is about getting to know them. Their faults and their strengths and-- oh, Miss? I know that you've been looking at me since the seminar began, but could you take your seat? Please don't touch me there, not like that! Really, don't think of this as rejection! I think you're beautiful! You're large, purple arms, your rippling, manly chest, and the way that your slump your shoulders when you ... walk ... toward me. ... Did you put that lipstick on yourself? It looks very nice.

I'm not finished yet, but ... Wait, no, Miss! Um, I'm not used to just hanging over someone's shoulder. Could you loosen your grip? People don't kill people, crushing people kills people. But it's nice to be loved. You're really determined to win me over, aren't you? I promise I'll go on a date with you, even if I'm not familiar with the area yet, I'm sure that I could pack us a picnic or something. I guess this was a good example of how to do it, ladies! I, um, don't have much more to say, it really seems like this woman is really intent on carrying me off. Take care of yourselves, remember, I believe in you!

Character: Belphegor
Series: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Character Age: 16
Canon: Heard of a kid named Sawada Tsunayoshi? Yeah, that loser kid "No Good Tsuna" who fails at everything? Well, his life changes the day the famed mafia baby Reborn drops by to notify that he's next in line for the position of the Tenth Vongola mafia boss. With magical bullets that work better than steroids, the help of a lizard that shapechanges into a gun, and a slowly growing "family" of his own made of friends and sort-of-foes alike, Tsuna starts down the path of training toward Tenthdom. This includes battling for true ownership of the exclusive Vongola Rings. Sun, Storm, Sky, Cloud, Thunder, Rain, Mist. By everyone's powers combined, this. Is. Captain Planet The Vongola Tenth at his finest!

Vongola's opponent in the rings battle is the Varia, an independent, elite assassination squad within Vongola itself. Varia's Storm Guardian contender is Belphegor, also known as Bel or Prince the Ripper. As the name suggests, Bel is a combat and tactical genius with knives and wires. He's ruthless and nimble and quick on his feet, making him a formidable foe. He's also batshit insane. The sight of his own blood brings out the sadistic genius in Bel. Yeah. He slices, he dices, he shreds and rips and guts, all with a smile on his face and a sibilant "ushishishi~". A descendant of royalty, Bel looks down upon others as commoners and often refers to himself in third person as "the prince" to showcase his superiority and arrogance. He joined the Varia not for any invested interest in mafia politics, but for his love of killing and bloodshed, ever since murdering his older twin brother whom he'd mistaken for a cockroach. This and the aforementioned have cemented his place within the squad as a playful, spoilt brat who antagonizes his fellow members, bowing only to the Varia Boss, the king to his princeliness.

Note: Bel sometimes drawls his words. "Football" = soccer. Lussuria is a Varia member known for being flamboyantly gay and preferring his men cold and stiff. *cough cough*

Sample Post:

Commoners should know better than to keep a prince waiting. That includes ugly ones like you. Don't do it again unless you waaaant to join your friends as zombie dominos. Kerpluuuunk! But that would be too easy and boring~. Maybe if you keep annoying me with your ignorance. You are in the presence of royalty. Show respect and welcome his entrance as is proper. Ushishi~ well, I do enjoy a good groveling. Satisfactory. Now, tell the gorillas to set the litter down while I refresh you on the rules.

First, no touching the prince without his express permission. Especially if you wear such stained, torn rags like those. Shishishi~ you must be penniless. And look at those festering wounds. Hiiiideous. They look contagious. I'll kill you if you infect me with anything. Even chopping off a few of those worthless limbs won't be enough to pay my hospital bills if you gave me leprosy. Such terrible servants, didn't anyone teach you hygiene? I need a shower, I'm already beginning to stink of you. Be grateful I allow you within a three meters' radius at all.

Second, I know I am a genius but the constant remarks about my brain are old and repetitive. Find other ways to compliment me if you must. Flattery only goes so far. The way you tremble in fear and awe only looks fake. Don't mock royalty with such tactics. I'll play football with your heads. The trees over there would make perfect~ goalposts.

Third, the prince gets bored easily. Entertain me! Quality entertainment, shishishi~ Show me why I shouldn't cut short my visit to this... vacation spot of yours. Choose wisely. Those stupid toucans are out. They cheated at Twenty Questions and lost their wings for it. The squirrel artists are also out. I don't care how talented they are. Princes should never be the subject of such vile scribbles. Now a disgusting fag like Lussuria would be perfect for that, ushishishi~ but he's nowhere to be found, is he? Lure him out with those cold dead bodies of yours if they're that desperate for a model.

Fourth~ all will obey under pain of death-- Like Fleabitten Ape here whose arm I've just sliced off for daring to try touching my tiara. I should kill him for that. In fact, I will. Off with his head! I've always wanted to say that.

What a niiiiice red carpet of blood. It's fitting for a prince. Would anyone else like to bleed the way?

Character name: Shibata Rihito
Series: Mei-chan no Shitsuji (J-Drama)
Age: 21

Canon: This is a series in which rich girls have their butlers do everything for them. And by everything I mean EVERYTHING. They will serve even the tiniest of your whims no matter what it is because that's their purpose; to ensure your happiness, while also ensuring their own. Because being a butler means to do the best job you can for your lady, which is the very thing that can make a butler happy in return. Shibata Rihito is one such butler; a refined gentleman of all sorts specially tailored to the needs of his lady. He is also very formal and very polite, while very much being like Mary Poppins at his job (absolutely perfect in almost every way).

And with this job comes a perfect smile and executed bow that we call Special butler attack #1 and Special butler attack #2. Other attacks include: Comb attack #3, where if wind blows Mei-sama's hair astray, he will pull out a comb and curl it back to perfection. Of course, this is before he initiates Groom attack #4, where he carries her bridal style over a stream of very shallow water. Not only that, but there is also Lazy attack #5, in which he will turn a textbook page Mei-sama can very well turn herself. He has many more attacks, but his specialty- no, his sole purpose in life is to serve Mei. He does this by holding true to his own morals, while also being a stealthy ninja behind her back when he needs to avert certain dangers!!1!

Sample Entry:
I've been told that Camp F*ck You Die's school for Rich Young Women has an academic background that stems from old European roots. It's said that even Princess Diana attended this school in her formative years. The no-fornication rule itself is also quite similar to that of St. Lucia's prohibition of romance between a butler and his lady. This is why I'm sure Mei-sama will be able to do her best here and flourish to be a magnificent woman. I have some reservations about the general flora of the area, yes, but it's no different from the Ombra dorm in which Mei-sama used to reside. With a little dusting and polish I'm confident that I can make it shine.

However, you, with that disguise; it's obvious that you aren't Mei-sama. I won't ask how you know of her; I can tell that this school's reconnaissance team is quite skilled, but I am the shield to the sword that she fights with and you, sir, are no sword. Even though you have tried your best, you've failed to capture her charm, as well as her skin tone. Her limbs, too, are not as unusually attached as yours are. So I will apologize for the actions I will take, but I cannot let this go unpunished; to take on the guise of my lady in such a way is an insult to her reputation.

. . . I'm sure you would have been a great opponent had your hand not fallen off. But, again, I must apologize for your defeat. However, debasing yourself before me won't help . . . Oh? Is it that you've changed your mind? You now want to become my apprentice? I must warn you that the training is quite strict, as well as varied. To achieve the mere status of a couch for your lady is admirable in the world of butlers. Are you sure you're able for it? Yes? Then, please, accept me as your teacher and I will do my best to instruct you in the ways of servitude.

But before that I must return to my original job. And that is to create an atmosphere in which my lady can thrive as she learns her lessons. This shed, while being quite ramshackle, will do fine as her dorm for now. In five minutes time I will have fixed it to perfection . . . ah, there, it's finished. Not even diamonds will be able to cut the glass on these windows. And this coat, the toucan feathers I gathered earlier will make it as comfortable as the finest of silks. I will allow nothing but the best. This, too, is a lesson you must learn; to serve your lady is the primary objective of any butler. Their comfort is something you must strive for. Their happiness is a goal you must achieve.

Keep these rules in mind and, perhaps, someday I'll make a real butler out of you. Now, for your first lesson, please become a couch for the lady known as Marcy.

Character name: Shibata Kento
Series: Mei-chan no Shitsuji (J-Drama)
Age: 17

Canon: Once upon a time there was a girl named Mei. One day,
she was taken from her normal life in Tokyo and dumped into a shoujo
nightmare in which a school full of elitist, horrible girls all had
beautiful personal butlers to cater to their every whim. Being the
star, Mei of course gets the very best butler, Shibata Rihito. Tall,
dark and handsome -- it really is a shame that this application isn't
about him, but rather about his short, angry, tantrum throwing little
brother.

Kento is not happy about much of anything. Having dropped out of
butler training when he was younger, it took his childhood friend Mei
being dragged off to an elite girls school to make him finally give it
another shot. His inferiority complex about his perfect older brother
also runs high. The issue is not helped by the fact that his secret
crush on Mei is put in horrible danger when his brother becomes her
butler. Coupled with constantly being manhandled and picked on by
everyone around him, be it his mentor Aoyama, his brother, other
students, or simply life, he's understandably in a
never-ending bad mood. Generally, you can just think of him like a
tiny, yippy chihuahua -- he may be in the complete wrong line of work
with his abrupt, abrasive, slightly annoying personality, but at least
he's loyal and trustworthy -- and it's sort of funny to watch his eyes
bug out.

Sample Entry:

Che... Let me tell you, I knew that guy was full of it. Stupid lying
"mentor". There's no way this is a camp, and there's definitely no way
it's an elite one. Those dumb spoiled girls wouldn't set foot in a
place like this. Why do I always get stuck with this crap? I should be
back at school with Mei, not here looking for some stupid enrollment
woman that may not even exist. Whatever. Today sucked. I don't even
care if I find her. People are supposed to mail in applications when
they want to sign people up for stuff. Not send competent, useful guys
with better things to do all the way to America. This is bullshit!

Speaking of bullshit, did you know that people here dig holes? In the
middle of freaking walkways? Who does that?! I was walking down
the path that the signs said led to the main office, and suddenly
there was this huge ditch! For no reason! Yes, I fell in it! Shut up,
I wasn't expecting it to be there! Anyway, it wasn't even a person
that came to dig me out. That's what's important here. When someone
reaches into a hole and offers to drag you out, you expect it to be a
person, right? Right?! Well it wasn't, it was a freaking gorilla! That
definitely isn't normal! Then some weird talking bird told me that my
brother never would have fallen in. Can you believe that? That's crap!
He would have! Anyone would have! I don't even want to know why some
weird toucan thing in Louisiana knows Rihito. That show-off idiot
knows everyone.

So anyway, when I couldn't find the office I tried to find the exit.
Falling in a hole is where a man draws the line! Just listen to this.
You're supposed to just walk out of a forest, right? Well I couldn't.
When I got close to the exit, the damn gorilla showed back up again
with a friend and dragged me back in. I'm not even kidding. They were
like seven feet tall! The purple one nearly broke my arm!

Hey! I did try to fight them! It just... it just caught me off
guard! Don't even say it, it's not because I'm 'tiny'! I could have
taken them! That's not even the point anyway! Their little pet toucan
told me that it's dangerous to leave. I don't remember why, something
about having to talk to the director first. Whatever. If they're so
interested in my safety they should have come early enough to tell me
about the damn hole! Stupid weird swamp.

That's when I found you. What are you even doing here? You look kind
of... sick. I mean, whatever about the whole missing eye thing, but
you probably want to do something about the skin that looks like it's
rotting off of your face. I know that isn't a real bone sticking out
of your shoulder either, right? It's pretty disgusting anyway -- Woah!
Don't touch me! Don't get mad just because someone is nice enough to
be honest! I'm doing you an important service! Ungrateful little --
did you just try to bite me?! You did! Holy shit! We are done with
this conversation! I'm leaviiiiiiing...

...stupid holes.

Character: Ikari Yui
Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days
Character Age: 15-16
Canon: Once upon a time, Gainax appeared. Then Gainax said, "Let there be EVA!" and Evangelion was born. Gainax saw that it was good and then went on to make several different Evangelions, each one more special and unique than the last. This particular spinoff follows the same plot: boy gets mecha, boy tries to save world, insert philosophical and biblical debates and somewhere along the way, the Ode to Joy is being played ... only this time, it's played in a shoujo-ey high school lifestyle with happy endings.

Ikari Yui is one of those few, sane, well-balanced people. She is an honors student and a responsible teenager with a strong sense of duty towards other people. She is very, very devoted to her boyfriend Gendo and tends to think of him constantly. Yui is also a bit of a spaz, often saying whatever comes to mind first, then realizing it about ten seconds later. Yui's also a bit naive but she's kind to all people and she won't stand for violence amongst others. No matter who you are or what your troubles may be, Yui is there to hold your hand.

Sample Post:

Y-You know, most school trips take you to the zoo or even a bird park, but it is highly unusual to charter a plane all the way to Louisiana just to visit the swamp! Ah, I do hope this is all right, this is all seems very improper. Even the airport looked rather strange with its creative use of intestines on display... Oh, I see a guide! Hello, I'm Ikari Yui from Japan and I'm here for the Super Deluxe Camper Friendship Under Down tour! O-Or is it Down Under? I'm not quite sure this is the same as Australia.... Oh! Oh, no offense, Mister Tour Guide, I-I didn't mean to offend you with my assumptions of Australia! I like the name of the tour! It's quite pleasant and unique! N-No, I don't think you need to explain the meaning of the name... with those very visual pictures. p-please put that away! As I was saying, it would be most kind of you to escort me around the premises and help me locate my class, especially one Rokubungi Gendo. I'm not keen on leaving him by himself, you see. I made a promise... Oh, you'll help me find my classmates as well if I act as an assistant Tour Guide? Thank you so much! You are very thoughtful! I'll do my best to carry out these duties and make you proud!

Hello zombies! I'm your assistant tour guide for CFUD tours of the technically unsafe and dangerous jungle! O-Oh, I didn't mean to say that out loud. It's fine, it's not unsafe in the least! Please follow me and watch your step, there are large quicksand pools in our path. It would be terrible if one of you got hurt, so please be careful for your own sake. And here, we have the toucan habitat! See how carefully the nests are built with silk stocking lace from the underwear trees and bits of what seems to be... balloons? Though I can't see why they're shaped so oddly. Ah, I can't make it out, but that is what they use! Please keep a safe distance from the nests, the toucans are prone to attacking visitors with insults about their heterosexuality and dead sisters. Not to say that they don't insult your dead brothers but they usually prefer the dead sisters. Though it's a terrible thing to say and I can't understand why they would hurt others like that. It's needlessly cruel... so please, don't believe what they tell you. I'm sure you're all wonderful people despite your missing body parts!

Oh, and here we have the lake! Note its peculiar but vivid and...somewhat putrid colouring--N-No, it's not like that! I'm sure the water here is perfectly fine in every way! It's not like it has any kind of mutated marine life living in there. See? A perfectly normal giant squid of unusual size and texture! And it's even saying hello to us! Don't worry, it's okay, she's simply wrapping her tentacles around you as a loving gesture---

... I'm not sure this is the kind of hello the tourists wanted. M-Maybe I should blow the whistle for help.
