Character: Kirishima Eriko
Series: Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
Character Age: 20
Canon: The streets of Sumaru City are abuzz with rumors about the recent string of grizzly murders plaguing the town. Is it really the work of the JOKER, the demon-user that's supposed to appear and kill your enemies if you call your own phone number? Well... yes. For better or for worse, rumors in Sumaru City have a habit of coming true, and an evil cult has every intention of taking advantage of that. Standing against them is a small group of persona-users, people with the ability to summon manifestations of their inner selves. To help with their fight, they spread a rumor about a person who can give them information they need. That woman is Kirishima Eriko, Ellie for short. Ellie, a college student and part-time model, has been a persona-user since she was in high school, when her hometown was suddenly encased in an fabulous rainbow-coloured barrier and the dead rose from their graves. Now she's investigating Miss Cleo the popular television fortune-teller Ishigami Chizuru, who turns out to be a member of a certain cult...
Ellie acts friendly and flirtatious, sometimes to the point that she seems shallow. This is partly an act she puts on because she has a hard time being herself, although she's trying to change that; one day, she wants to be able to smile naturally with her friends. There's one thing that can make her forget all about being awkward, however: she absolutely loves all things supernatural and occult, and will happily fangirl about it at inappropriate times. When her persona first manifested, she immediately jumped to the conclusion that she was a reincarnated goddess and swore to protect her friends, and was almost disappointed to learn that her friends were also "chosen".

So this is the Cursed Forest of Unrestful Darkness, the mysterious labyrinth so fiendishly clever that even the dead can't escape it! Until now, that is. Everyone, you don't need to worry anymore; I'm here to save you! ♥ You can trust me, I have tons of experience with zombies and mysterious barriers. Although the last one I saw was a lot more... colourful. I think yours needs a new paint job.
But first, I have to take a look around this place! I mean, wow! This is so cool! As soon as I arrived, the aura changed instantly... Even though there's a barrier, I didn't expect the change to be so abrupt. Was I spatially displaced, as well? That could explain why it's undetectable from the outside... Anyway, I had barely been here for five minutes before I was accosted by a moving tree! And when I say "accosted", well... It's not like I'm not used to that kind of attention, but my fans normally keep their wood where I can't see it. ♥
But that doesn't mean it had a bad heart! You have to remember, spirits and other supernatural creatures don't think the same way we do. That's why it's important to try to understand their point of view. Did you know, most cases of "angry hauntings" and "vengeful ghosts" are actually just big misunderstandings? It's because we humans didn't make a proper effort to communicate! Just look at your own underwear tree! It's most likely the work of a ghost who died while wearing dirty underwear, and now it's kindly trying to prevent that from happening to anyone else. So you see, even though we might think it's odd, she's just trying to perform an act of kindness. If anyone tried to get her to leave or wanted to exorcise her, of course she'll fight to protect herself! So just be grateful for her kind gifts, and let her stay here, okay?
Hey, what's that smoke? Is that... a volcano!? In a swamp? There must be something supernatural there, I need to get up there and have a look. Hey, you! Stop trying to re-attach your nose and come here for a moment. Can you tell me how I can get to the top of the volcano? Is there a lift or something? Great, please show me to it! Um... Hello? Did you hear me? Why are you moaning like that, what are you... Oh. That's a lot of zombies. Are they your friends? I'm not sure I like the look of these guys-- whoa! Put me down! Y-you know, girls don't like pushy guys...! If this is the alternative, I think I'd rather climb. And what's that weird chanting--
Hey! No! I didn't say I wanted to see the inside!

Character: Toudou Kimi
Series: Fruits Basket
Character Age: 16
Canon: Fruits Basket is the story of a family possessed by the spirits of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, filled with pretty boys, angst, shoujo sparkles, and general insanity during daily life. Toudou Kimi, however, only contributes the latter two things to the series. Not being a part of the cursed family, her presence in the student council at the local high school is refreshing, juxtaposed with the gloomy lives of the main characters.
Amongst the female student body, Kimi is known as a devilish woman, seducing any and every male student and teacher, regardless of whether or not he is single. Extremely vain, she constantly acts cute and flirtatious with males to get what she wants, including material things like handbags or even chalk. Flouncing her beauty and acting innocent, she takes joy in flirting with boys other girls like right in front of them, often causing shock and outrage. Kimi obnoxiously refers to herself in the third person, using childish, cutesy language, and never hesitates to bluntly insult someone with a sugar-sweet smile. In short, Kimi is a malicious seductress who gleefully manipulates both men and women for her own delight.
Sample Post:
Dearest Papa,
I know you must be worried about your darling Kimi, who you so lovingly sent to this horrid, smelly, swampy place called camp. It’s absolutely terrible! Kimi’s hair is getting all frizzy, and with frizzy hair, Kimi can’t get any dates! Even with this shockingly cute face, if Kimi’s hair is frizzy, she won’t be much better than the hideously ugly girls at this place! Speaking of hideous girls, they’re all being mean to Kimi, even when she didn’t do anything! She only talked to two of their boyfriends … and even then, it’s not Kimi’s fault if their boyfriends can’t control themselves. It’s their fault for not having enough love! Those ugly girls are just jealous of Kimi.
Though Kimi almost did get a date on her first day here! Aren’t you proud, Papa? At first Kimi thought he wanted her for her lovely figure and beautiful face, but it turned out he only wanted Kimi for her brains! Anyone who doesn’t appreciate Kimi’s body doesn’t deserve it. And he didn’t seem like he would be able to buy Kimi very many nice things, either. His fashion sense was terrible, totally not stylish at all! And all of his clothes were ripped and falling off! How indecent! Kimi doesn’t want to be shown that sort of thing, she’s too innocent! And his skin wasn’t nice and smooth at all. So of course Kimi had to deny him a date. After Kimi rejected him, he was in such despair that one of his arms just fell off! It was terrifying! But Kimi only ran away, because if it was a medical condition, it would have been so insensitive to bring it up. And Kimi is never insensitive. She is the epitome of caring and sensitivity! But anyway, Kimi can’t believe she wasted her charm and beauty on such a creature.
Besides that creature, there’s also something terrible in the lake. Papa, it’s horribly naughty and indecent! Kimi thought she was going to be taken advantage of and stripped of all her dignity! How terrible! Kimi can’t believe you sent her to such a place, it’s like something out of a low budget erotic film! Only it rejected Kimi! Can you believe such a thing, Papa? Not one of its tentacles went anywhere near Kimi’s cute clothes or womanly curves! Kimi is shocked! That creature … it must grope for the other side. Ohh! Kimi can’t deal with all this! It’s far too much for her purity! Kimi just isn’t suited for this camp place! Kimi wants to go home!

Character: Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII aka Dagger.
Series: Final Fantasy IX
Character Age: 16
Canon: On the sixteenth birthday of Garnet Til Alexandros XVII: sole heir to the throne of Alexandria, daughter of Queen Brahne, and protectee of General Beatrix and Captain Steiner of the Alexandrian Army. Garnet is primarily noted for her great beauty by her citizens, and nothing but compliments seem to be whispered of her when speaking with the Alexandrian townspeople; yet, Garnet appears distressed during the opening game play. Her primary concerns are openly displayed, consisting of stereotypical royal jitters: her kingdom, her responsibilities, her royal heritage, etc. Garnet's introduction into the party is, after all, a plea for assistance in correcting the Alexandrian Crown-Garnet's own mother-and maintaining peace amongst Alexandria and its neighboring nations. Garnet maintains an image of unbreakable duty and focus; yet, her childish ambitions of breaking free from her many responsibilities and playing hooky for awhile shine through and overpower her, and her travels with the party reach far beyond her initial intent.
Garnet appears to blame herself for things that are beyond her control and depends upon those around her for support. She cares deeply for her kingdom and those she surrounds herself with. With the help of Zidane she learns to act in a more commonplace way and is able to blend in better than she would have if she were to remain a proper princess. She even falls in love with him as he teaches her about the outside world. At times she is a little naïve but this is from the sheltered life that she lived behind the castle walls. Despite her upbringing she is quick thinking and often outwits others in order to pursue her goal. She even tricks Zidane into giving her some sleeping weed for her insomnia and uses it to drug him.

The journey to this establishment was a lot longer than I had expected - a lot longer than the Director had told me in the few letters that we had exchanged upon getting word that they would like me to come here. Not that long rides bother me, I would have liked to be informed correctly so that I would be properly prepared for..everything! I seem to be lacking a few things that seem to be essential for staying in such an environment.
Now that I think about it.. I did not prepare for any of this. According to the camp guide I am in need of a bikini because one of the daily activities is mud wrestling.. They say that it is a way to get to know the other campers better. I have never mud wrestled before; therefore I will take their word on the matter. I'm looking forward to mud wrestling with everyone then! Hopefully it will be as fun as they make it out to be.
Perhaps I should read this guide they have provided me with - it seems that I will be able to understand the culture of the camp as well as lean what others do on their free time and how they act. Oh, look here! They have even provided me with a small glossary of words that I might not be familiar with.
I find it quite odd that no one has approached me upon arrival. One would have thought that there would be someone around to escort new arrivals to the camp around, but this must be one of those 'fend for yourself' situations that I read about. I'm pro at this now, so I don't have anything to worry about. A map would come in handy..
Oh look! Wildlife! Aren't you a cute little deer? Maybe I should go and pet it. It looks harmless. Oh, what a cute deer. Hey! Let go of that! That book is not something for you to eat! I mean it! Let it go! This is an original copy of Lord Avon's work! Do you not understand the beauty and rarity behind such a book.. Of course you wouldn't..
Don't eat it, please!!
This is the last time I am going to warn you to.. LET. IT. GO.
Phew, about time it listened.. Someone must teach the wildlife around here some manners. Now, where was I. Oh yes, I need to find my cabin so I can place my belongings in it.
It seems that I will be staying in Cabin French Ticklers. Now where to find French Ticklers.

Character name: Mai
Series: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Age: 15
Canon: Imagine a young 12 year old boy (or 112, if you're really counting) awakening from a deep icy sleep to discover the world he had known is now ravaged by the scars of war. Guided by his destiny to save the world from further destruction, the Avatar Aang, along with his rag-tag group of friends, must journey across the planet to master the bending skills of Earth, Fire, Air and Water, as well as win the heart of the girl he loves. But with every awesome protagonist, there must be a ruthless, cruel villain, out to stop our heroes in every way possible.
When we're talking about cruel and ruthless, Azula, the Fire Nation princess, comes to mind. And when Azula needs minions, she turns to her dear old friends. Enter Mai. Describing her as an apathetic teen, or 'emo', would be no far stretch of the imagination. Mai taught herself the art of throwing sharp pointy objects with deadly accuracy as a means to amuse herself. She's certainly not the type who would exert herself in excess, especially when the outcome is already clear. Mai would much rather sit back, do her nails, and continue complaining about the boredom of everyday life. Mai revels in not caring about anything, constantly being bored, and sarcastic retorts. Despite being described as having a 'dingy grey' aura, there is one thing that brightens her day, and that is the love of a badly-scarred Fire Nation prince.

I'm beginning to think that accepting this reconnaissance mission was a bad idea. I'm literally skirting around in a gross humid swampland, trying not to step on this putrid, disgusting slime. There really is no fathoming the depths of my hatred for this place right now. Then again, any alternative at that time seemed better than watching the Fire Nation fireworks display for whatever celebration they've come up with next. Sorry, but I don't really share the same enthusiasm and commitment to sparkles in motion. So here I am... Camp Eff You Die, huh? One of the few Earth Nation towns still putting up a resistance. Did they really think they'd scare people off with just a name like that? Honestly, they should just accept the inevitable. It's not like any army they have can really match up to the Fire Nation's firepower. But here I am, so give it your best shot. With any luck, one of you guys will put up a good fight to entertain me for a bit. I hope you guys have something interesting up your sleeve, otherwise, how am I going to be able to show you what's under mine? I bet you mine's pointier.
Well now, you call this a rebellion? I really don't think they have anything to worry about back home. Man, this looks like... no, is worse than outbreak of pentapox back at Omashu. What few soldiers they have are nothing but mindless drones shuffling about, moaning about the wounds that will not heal. That's not much of a military. Not much of anything, actually. I'm not sure how throwing diseased, rotting limbs at enemies would be an effective retardant. So what's next? Fire-breathing ducklings? Lame. If you're going to go all out and teach animals how to fire-bend, then I'd have chosen bigger animals instead of... you know, ducklings. Who live in water. Swim in water. Water, fire- do you get my point? Tell me you have something at least slightly entertaining; I'm otherwise going to be bored to death. There's got to be some secret weapon of yours that keeping this place from being...
Wait, what is this racket? This horrible screeching and wailing, it's like the sound of a thousand people being tortured mercilessly. Is this what's keeping the enemy at bay? Why... this is unbearable. Who knew that attacking your ears with nonsensical cheesy lyrics would be so effective? I knew I should have brought earplugs with me. Someone kill me now, before I hear another irritating lyric about being undressed everywhere. And no, 'oops I did it again' is not a valid excuse for this wretchedness. This task has just become more dangerous than I initially thought.

Character: 00.05 or most commonly referred to as Number Five
Series: The Umbrella Academy
Character Age: He looks and is physically ten while being chronologically older than sixty.
Canon: In the Umbrella Academy world, primates are intelligent and can talk, aliens are among us, national monuments run amok, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy may or may not have happened. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, one of the aforementioned aliens, adopts seven spontaneously-born children and forms a superhero team named the Umbrella Academy in order to save the world. Save it from what exactly is never really said. Thirty years later, the team is disbanded and the grown children are all either on the moon, divorced, in a mental institution, chasing down two-bit criminals, a normal has-been, dead, or lost in time. Disbanded until Number Five, the one who got lost in time, shows up to warn of an impending Apocalypse in a few days.
Five is, as you would guess, a time-traveler. At age ten, he ran away from the Umbrella Academy by traveling to the future and got stuck there. Fifty years went by until he figured out a way back and when he returned, not only did he accidentally get himself stuck in the wrong time, he also got stuck as a ten-year-old. Oops. Somewhere in-between getting lost and found, he picked up some truly awesome kung-fu skills and a serious outlook on life. He'll do whatever it takes to get the job done, whether it's shooting someone's brains out, massacring over forty people in less than a minute, or punching through someone's skull. (His definition of getting the job done is a bit narrow.)

For the last time, I'm not getting up on the Mess Hall roof to deliver this announcement. I don't care if you think it's tradition and I still don't believe that the camp's loudspeaker is broken. The sign "Out Of Order: Come Back Yesterday" is neither convincing nor funny. But since I haven't found the loudspeaker control room yet, I'll just stand in front of the Mess Hall to give the campers my announcement.
Listen up! The Umbrella Academy has received reports of Apocalypse-type activities from this location and I'm here to put a stop to it. But now that I'm here, it's hard to believe the reports. Usually in these situations, there's a lot of horrified screaming and massive explosions, maybe a few incinerated children. I've only seen one person screaming so far and it had something to do with a girl named Marcy touching him. I'm sorry to say that heavy petting isn't a sign of the end of the world, it's just a sign of puberty. I did see some explosions but considering that they were of sparkles and pink light, it's unlikely they were caused by a doomsday device. And as for burnt children, I haven't seen any although I have seen a few examples of pyrokinesis. I suppose the fact that some of you can incinerate each other might count.
Everyone is just too calm for possible imminent destruction. There is nothing here that deserves my time and my time is a precious- if that group of zombies over there takes one more step in my direction, I'm going to rip their rotting brains out their nostrils and turn their skulls into a nice collection of vases. The report did say there was an infestation of the living-impaired but I thought that was an unusually creative description for a large group of teenagers. Fine, it doesn't matter, I'll take care of your zombie problem. My credentials? I personally put a bullet into my sister's head to stop an Apocalypse and you want to know if I have the guts to rip apart some guys who are losing theirs? Do you want me to put a bullet in your brain to prove I can or tie your lungs into a bow on your head? Because I don't have any problems with a little visceral show-and-tell.
Don't give me that horrified look. Just because I look like a kid doesn't mean I am a kid. It's called time-travel and I can do it. My current condition is the result of a slight mishap, not that it's anyone's business. I'll just dismember your zombies, since everyone is too lazy and calm to do it themselves, and be on my way. What about the barrier? What barri- oh, you have got to be kidding me. Let me guess, it's immune to guns, lasers, machetes, alien technology, excessive violence, vigilantes and even revolution. Well, that was before I had a shot at it. Believe me, after you've cracked the equation for going back in time, destroying an upside-down glowing tupperware bowl is nothing. It'll be gone in a week.
I don't know what I said that was so funny but if everyone doesn't stop laughing, you're all going to be wearing lung bows as hats.

Character Name: Junael
Character Age: 212 (Can pass for high school age)
Series: Mark of the Succubus
Canon: A kid's life is just full of trials like teachers out to get you, romance in the way of work, exams looming in, and, oh, you know, falling in love with the human you were supposed to seduce and kill. For a baaaaaaaaaby succubus, final exams can have a few extra complications. Erebus, the demon world, is a place of Machiavellian mindsets, strict rules, documentation, and guidelines. And in this world, the best way to jump in power and position is to catch someone else breaking those rules: something that USUALLY takes time, patience and diligence. The Big Bad, of course, decides to get around all of this is by entrapping one of the workers who deal with the intricacies of these laws to do her dirty work. After all, who else would know the best ways around them?
That unfortunate worker is an imp named Junael, who immediately ignored the implied order to sabotage things and began working behind the scenes to put together a situation to backfire everything at his captor. This was not out of any silly sense of public good, but because of certain quiet pride and this is Not How Things Are Done. Junael is reserved, meticulous and keeps information very close to chest. He'd much rather pull things into place neatly than be a showy, front-line fighter any day of the century. This isn't to say that a show of affection can't fluster him greatly, or a fledgling's wide-eyed wonder at the human world can't crack him a little bit.
Sample Post:
It appears that the rumor of a new form of human magic was an inappropriate choice of words to describe the situation at this Camp. There is nothing even so uncertain as a possibility to investigate. Even if the impressive weave of the barrier were to be dismissed as an older art, there's still the fact that this 'Director' had managed to cast it with so few years to study. There are still shambling corpses, bound to a longer, if unpleasant life to take into account. Or the small creatures repeating a somewhat unintelligible message about saving and a game over and over, in what I can only take as a rescue plea. There is a creative, if somewhat depraved, mind behind most of this.
What is, however, unsettling is a distinctive trace of a demon's magic amidst all of this chaotic, unmanaged ability. It's an older, unmistakably inhuman presence. There were, once, water-dwelling creatures who carried out the same art and purpose as succubus do now, and with far less finesse and a great deal more appendages. It is troubling to find one here, since it indicates a truly powerful human mage. I am hardly prepared to deal with a threat or fight of that nature. More importantly, quite unwilling to do so alone.
On the other hand, if the situation were to point to the demon as being the source of all the magical disturbances in the area, rather than the human, it would neatly solve this entire case immediately, or at least, put it in someone else's jurisdiction. And I could return to real work. I'm certain the files are in utter disarray already. There IS the questionable plus of there only being one body of water large enough for a giant squid-like creature to inquire at. Though I can't say I appreciate the way both the apes and zombies snigger while pointing on the way to the lake.
A simple spell is required for translation, and another to disturb the water from a safe distance and... there she is. I haven't seen another of her kind so large since... Marau-chi- Marcy, then. My apologies. Please don't seem so surprised. Of course I would recognize you. It's been more than a few decades since I, or anyone else has seen you. There have been inquiries.
Now. While my initial duty here is somewhat detached from the matter at hand, this is impossible to overlook. Whether you had just been summoned or took it as an assignment is of absolutely no consequence to me at all any more. There is a greater issue at stake here, and one that I should not think is wise to ignore. Even excusing the entirely public way you've decided to operate, if you plan on conducting these activities, you must renew your license.
I can't make you? ... Yes. Well. Just so you should know, there will be a report on this.
Character: Junael
Series: Mark of the Succubus
Character Age: 212, looks to be around mid-teens
Canon: "No human magic. No revealing the existence of demon-kind. No getting attached." The three most important Rules a demon needs to know.
In the demon world of Erebus, how can a power-hungry succubus go about getting what she really wants? Well, for starters, bringing someone who broke one of the demon world's strictest Rules to justice. So when Maeve, a newly licensed demon, goes to the human world, the afore mentioned power-hungry succubus sends her pet imp to stalk follow the girl (aka "do it or you die in a slow and painful way") just in case she does something wrong . Just in case. Lucky for her, Maeve falls in love with the human that should have been her first kill. And that's where the trouble begins . . .
The imp, Junael, works at Erebus's Registry, where each and every piece of paperwork a demon's involved in goes through. He is incredibly intelligent, researching and analyzing possibilities before stepping in to any situation, which allows him to conceal or reveal important pieces of information only when it becomes useful for him to do so. With his strong sense of duty to his job and a vast knowledge of the Rules' inner workings, Jun is capable of knowing when and how to best bend a rule without breaking it. Calm and collected, he almost never loses his cool and maintains an air of aloof conceit, which is belied by a rarely seen affection for Maeve and her companions.
Sample Post:
The succubus, Marcy, correct? I am Junael of The Erebus Registry of Demonic Function and Affairs. Good evening, please consider this a long delayed check-up. Licensed about four years ago, your file states that you have stayed in Louisiana, United States of America since your first visit to the human realm. Very well. There were a few points of contention with your methods and progress, so without further ado, let us begin.
In the three years, nine months, and seven days you've been in the human world, you have not only stayed in a solitary spot, you have yet to make any proper human kills. As a matter of fact, if the files I have here are correct, your only kills have been purple primates, various forms of sea-life, and . . . humans who are recorded to have died a long time ago. You have Marked some hundreds of humans, and while it is usually overlooked for a demon's first kill to be on the slow side, over three years is a bit too much even for the most lenient of officials. It would be wise, Marcy, if a few actual, living humans were listed among those you've killed. You are one of the few succubi able to create the perfume trainees use to attract humans, but the concentration in which you secrete it is far too high. Upon contact, humans are falling for each other instead of you, which rather defeats the purpose of such aphrodisiacs. And really, pink is not quite the most subtle color. Perhaps it should be your goal to work on your endurance as to not prematurely release ejaculation. You have allowed the humans to grow far too wary of you.
The files at the Registry have shown you submitted a petition to remain in the form of a cephalopod instead of donning a form more convenient to camouflage in this realm-- while it is uncommon, it is not entirely unheard of for a succubus to choose this option. I did some extra research and it seems that a number of succubi and incubi who've decided to visit the area of the human realm known as "Japan" have chosen to do that, thus the growing popularity of . . . ahem tentacles used in sexual activities. Indeed, it seems to have even been incorporated into a part of their culture, especially when integrated with the Japanese phenomenon known as "doujinshi." It would appear that whether or not these humans have come into contact with a succubus, their very presence in the past has been enough to trigger a wave of fascination with the cephalopod form. I suspect this was one of the reasons your petition was approved.
All else aside, I would advise you take advantage of the extra time you have been granted to complete what you should be doing. I'm afraid that if you do not, you will be requested to return to Erebus for re-training. Normally, you would have been called back long ago, but it appeared your file had been misplaced. If you would like to look your papers over, I shall leave them here. Please ignore the stains and wrinkles, it was located in a rather . . . sticky situation.

Character: Kirishima Eriko
Series: Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
Character Age: 20
Canon: The streets of Sumaru City are abuzz with rumors about the recent string of grizzly murders plaguing the town. Is it really the work of the JOKER, the demon-user that's supposed to appear and kill your enemies if you call your own phone number? Well... yes. For better or for worse, rumors in Sumaru City have a habit of coming true, and an evil cult has every intention of taking advantage of that. Standing against them is a small group of persona-users, people with the ability to summon manifestations of their inner selves. To help with their fight, they spread a rumor about a person who can give them information they need. That woman is Kirishima Eriko, Ellie for short. Ellie, a college student and part-time model, has been a persona-user since she was in high school, when her hometown was suddenly encased in an fabulous rainbow-coloured barrier and the dead rose from their graves. Now she's investigating Miss Cleo the popular television fortune-teller Ishigami Chizuru, who turns out to be a member of a certain cult...
Ellie acts friendly and flirtatious, sometimes to the point that she seems shallow. This is partly an act she puts on because she has a hard time being herself, although she's trying to change that; one day, she wants to be able to smile naturally with her friends. There's one thing that can make her forget all about being awkward, however: she absolutely loves all things supernatural and occult, and will happily fangirl about it at inappropriate times. When her persona first manifested, she immediately jumped to the conclusion that she was a reincarnated goddess and swore to protect her friends, and was almost disappointed to learn that her friends were also "chosen".

So this is the Cursed Forest of Unrestful Darkness, the mysterious labyrinth so fiendishly clever that even the dead can't escape it! Until now, that is. Everyone, you don't need to worry anymore; I'm here to save you! ♥ You can trust me, I have tons of experience with zombies and mysterious barriers. Although the last one I saw was a lot more... colourful. I think yours needs a new paint job.
But first, I have to take a look around this place! I mean, wow! This is so cool! As soon as I arrived, the aura changed instantly... Even though there's a barrier, I didn't expect the change to be so abrupt. Was I spatially displaced, as well? That could explain why it's undetectable from the outside... Anyway, I had barely been here for five minutes before I was accosted by a moving tree! And when I say "accosted", well... It's not like I'm not used to that kind of attention, but my fans normally keep their wood where I can't see it. ♥
But that doesn't mean it had a bad heart! You have to remember, spirits and other supernatural creatures don't think the same way we do. That's why it's important to try to understand their point of view. Did you know, most cases of "angry hauntings" and "vengeful ghosts" are actually just big misunderstandings? It's because we humans didn't make a proper effort to communicate! Just look at your own underwear tree! It's most likely the work of a ghost who died while wearing dirty underwear, and now it's kindly trying to prevent that from happening to anyone else. So you see, even though we might think it's odd, she's just trying to perform an act of kindness. If anyone tried to get her to leave or wanted to exorcise her, of course she'll fight to protect herself! So just be grateful for her kind gifts, and let her stay here, okay?
Hey, what's that smoke? Is that... a volcano!? In a swamp? There must be something supernatural there, I need to get up there and have a look. Hey, you! Stop trying to re-attach your nose and come here for a moment. Can you tell me how I can get to the top of the volcano? Is there a lift or something? Great, please show me to it! Um... Hello? Did you hear me? Why are you moaning like that, what are you... Oh. That's a lot of zombies. Are they your friends? I'm not sure I like the look of these guys-- whoa! Put me down! Y-you know, girls don't like pushy guys...! If this is the alternative, I think I'd rather climb. And what's that weird chanting--
Hey! No! I didn't say I wanted to see the inside!

Character: Toudou Kimi
Series: Fruits Basket
Character Age: 16
Canon: Fruits Basket is the story of a family possessed by the spirits of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, filled with pretty boys, angst, shoujo sparkles, and general insanity during daily life. Toudou Kimi, however, only contributes the latter two things to the series. Not being a part of the cursed family, her presence in the student council at the local high school is refreshing, juxtaposed with the gloomy lives of the main characters.
Amongst the female student body, Kimi is known as a devilish woman, seducing any and every male student and teacher, regardless of whether or not he is single. Extremely vain, she constantly acts cute and flirtatious with males to get what she wants, including material things like handbags or even chalk. Flouncing her beauty and acting innocent, she takes joy in flirting with boys other girls like right in front of them, often causing shock and outrage. Kimi obnoxiously refers to herself in the third person, using childish, cutesy language, and never hesitates to bluntly insult someone with a sugar-sweet smile. In short, Kimi is a malicious seductress who gleefully manipulates both men and women for her own delight.
Sample Post:
Dearest Papa,
I know you must be worried about your darling Kimi, who you so lovingly sent to this horrid, smelly, swampy place called camp. It’s absolutely terrible! Kimi’s hair is getting all frizzy, and with frizzy hair, Kimi can’t get any dates! Even with this shockingly cute face, if Kimi’s hair is frizzy, she won’t be much better than the hideously ugly girls at this place! Speaking of hideous girls, they’re all being mean to Kimi, even when she didn’t do anything! She only talked to two of their boyfriends … and even then, it’s not Kimi’s fault if their boyfriends can’t control themselves. It’s their fault for not having enough love! Those ugly girls are just jealous of Kimi.
Though Kimi almost did get a date on her first day here! Aren’t you proud, Papa? At first Kimi thought he wanted her for her lovely figure and beautiful face, but it turned out he only wanted Kimi for her brains! Anyone who doesn’t appreciate Kimi’s body doesn’t deserve it. And he didn’t seem like he would be able to buy Kimi very many nice things, either. His fashion sense was terrible, totally not stylish at all! And all of his clothes were ripped and falling off! How indecent! Kimi doesn’t want to be shown that sort of thing, she’s too innocent! And his skin wasn’t nice and smooth at all. So of course Kimi had to deny him a date. After Kimi rejected him, he was in such despair that one of his arms just fell off! It was terrifying! But Kimi only ran away, because if it was a medical condition, it would have been so insensitive to bring it up. And Kimi is never insensitive. She is the epitome of caring and sensitivity! But anyway, Kimi can’t believe she wasted her charm and beauty on such a creature.
Besides that creature, there’s also something terrible in the lake. Papa, it’s horribly naughty and indecent! Kimi thought she was going to be taken advantage of and stripped of all her dignity! How terrible! Kimi can’t believe you sent her to such a place, it’s like something out of a low budget erotic film! Only it rejected Kimi! Can you believe such a thing, Papa? Not one of its tentacles went anywhere near Kimi’s cute clothes or womanly curves! Kimi is shocked! That creature … it must grope for the other side. Ohh! Kimi can’t deal with all this! It’s far too much for her purity! Kimi just isn’t suited for this camp place! Kimi wants to go home!

Character: Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII aka Dagger.
Series: Final Fantasy IX
Character Age: 16
Canon: On the sixteenth birthday of Garnet Til Alexandros XVII: sole heir to the throne of Alexandria, daughter of Queen Brahne, and protectee of General Beatrix and Captain Steiner of the Alexandrian Army. Garnet is primarily noted for her great beauty by her citizens, and nothing but compliments seem to be whispered of her when speaking with the Alexandrian townspeople; yet, Garnet appears distressed during the opening game play. Her primary concerns are openly displayed, consisting of stereotypical royal jitters: her kingdom, her responsibilities, her royal heritage, etc. Garnet's introduction into the party is, after all, a plea for assistance in correcting the Alexandrian Crown-Garnet's own mother-and maintaining peace amongst Alexandria and its neighboring nations. Garnet maintains an image of unbreakable duty and focus; yet, her childish ambitions of breaking free from her many responsibilities and playing hooky for awhile shine through and overpower her, and her travels with the party reach far beyond her initial intent.
Garnet appears to blame herself for things that are beyond her control and depends upon those around her for support. She cares deeply for her kingdom and those she surrounds herself with. With the help of Zidane she learns to act in a more commonplace way and is able to blend in better than she would have if she were to remain a proper princess. She even falls in love with him as he teaches her about the outside world. At times she is a little naïve but this is from the sheltered life that she lived behind the castle walls. Despite her upbringing she is quick thinking and often outwits others in order to pursue her goal. She even tricks Zidane into giving her some sleeping weed for her insomnia and uses it to drug him.

The journey to this establishment was a lot longer than I had expected - a lot longer than the Director had told me in the few letters that we had exchanged upon getting word that they would like me to come here. Not that long rides bother me, I would have liked to be informed correctly so that I would be properly prepared for..everything! I seem to be lacking a few things that seem to be essential for staying in such an environment.
Now that I think about it.. I did not prepare for any of this. According to the camp guide I am in need of a bikini because one of the daily activities is mud wrestling.. They say that it is a way to get to know the other campers better. I have never mud wrestled before; therefore I will take their word on the matter. I'm looking forward to mud wrestling with everyone then! Hopefully it will be as fun as they make it out to be.
Perhaps I should read this guide they have provided me with - it seems that I will be able to understand the culture of the camp as well as lean what others do on their free time and how they act. Oh, look here! They have even provided me with a small glossary of words that I might not be familiar with.
I find it quite odd that no one has approached me upon arrival. One would have thought that there would be someone around to escort new arrivals to the camp around, but this must be one of those 'fend for yourself' situations that I read about. I'm pro at this now, so I don't have anything to worry about. A map would come in handy..
Oh look! Wildlife! Aren't you a cute little deer? Maybe I should go and pet it. It looks harmless. Oh, what a cute deer. Hey! Let go of that! That book is not something for you to eat! I mean it! Let it go! This is an original copy of Lord Avon's work! Do you not understand the beauty and rarity behind such a book.. Of course you wouldn't..
Don't eat it, please!!
This is the last time I am going to warn you to.. LET. IT. GO.
Phew, about time it listened.. Someone must teach the wildlife around here some manners. Now, where was I. Oh yes, I need to find my cabin so I can place my belongings in it.
It seems that I will be staying in Cabin French Ticklers. Now where to find French Ticklers.

Character name: Mai
Series: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Age: 15
Canon: Imagine a young 12 year old boy (or 112, if you're really counting) awakening from a deep icy sleep to discover the world he had known is now ravaged by the scars of war. Guided by his destiny to save the world from further destruction, the Avatar Aang, along with his rag-tag group of friends, must journey across the planet to master the bending skills of Earth, Fire, Air and Water, as well as win the heart of the girl he loves. But with every awesome protagonist, there must be a ruthless, cruel villain, out to stop our heroes in every way possible.
When we're talking about cruel and ruthless, Azula, the Fire Nation princess, comes to mind. And when Azula needs minions, she turns to her dear old friends. Enter Mai. Describing her as an apathetic teen, or 'emo', would be no far stretch of the imagination. Mai taught herself the art of throwing sharp pointy objects with deadly accuracy as a means to amuse herself. She's certainly not the type who would exert herself in excess, especially when the outcome is already clear. Mai would much rather sit back, do her nails, and continue complaining about the boredom of everyday life. Mai revels in not caring about anything, constantly being bored, and sarcastic retorts. Despite being described as having a 'dingy grey' aura, there is one thing that brightens her day, and that is the love of a badly-scarred Fire Nation prince.

I'm beginning to think that accepting this reconnaissance mission was a bad idea. I'm literally skirting around in a gross humid swampland, trying not to step on this putrid, disgusting slime. There really is no fathoming the depths of my hatred for this place right now. Then again, any alternative at that time seemed better than watching the Fire Nation fireworks display for whatever celebration they've come up with next. Sorry, but I don't really share the same enthusiasm and commitment to sparkles in motion. So here I am... Camp Eff You Die, huh? One of the few Earth Nation towns still putting up a resistance. Did they really think they'd scare people off with just a name like that? Honestly, they should just accept the inevitable. It's not like any army they have can really match up to the Fire Nation's firepower. But here I am, so give it your best shot. With any luck, one of you guys will put up a good fight to entertain me for a bit. I hope you guys have something interesting up your sleeve, otherwise, how am I going to be able to show you what's under mine? I bet you mine's pointier.
Well now, you call this a rebellion? I really don't think they have anything to worry about back home. Man, this looks like... no, is worse than outbreak of pentapox back at Omashu. What few soldiers they have are nothing but mindless drones shuffling about, moaning about the wounds that will not heal. That's not much of a military. Not much of anything, actually. I'm not sure how throwing diseased, rotting limbs at enemies would be an effective retardant. So what's next? Fire-breathing ducklings? Lame. If you're going to go all out and teach animals how to fire-bend, then I'd have chosen bigger animals instead of... you know, ducklings. Who live in water. Swim in water. Water, fire- do you get my point? Tell me you have something at least slightly entertaining; I'm otherwise going to be bored to death. There's got to be some secret weapon of yours that keeping this place from being...
Wait, what is this racket? This horrible screeching and wailing, it's like the sound of a thousand people being tortured mercilessly. Is this what's keeping the enemy at bay? Why... this is unbearable. Who knew that attacking your ears with nonsensical cheesy lyrics would be so effective? I knew I should have brought earplugs with me. Someone kill me now, before I hear another irritating lyric about being undressed everywhere. And no, 'oops I did it again' is not a valid excuse for this wretchedness. This task has just become more dangerous than I initially thought.

Character: 00.05 or most commonly referred to as Number Five
Series: The Umbrella Academy
Character Age: He looks and is physically ten while being chronologically older than sixty.
Canon: In the Umbrella Academy world, primates are intelligent and can talk, aliens are among us, national monuments run amok, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy may or may not have happened. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, one of the aforementioned aliens, adopts seven spontaneously-born children and forms a superhero team named the Umbrella Academy in order to save the world. Save it from what exactly is never really said. Thirty years later, the team is disbanded and the grown children are all either on the moon, divorced, in a mental institution, chasing down two-bit criminals, a normal has-been, dead, or lost in time. Disbanded until Number Five, the one who got lost in time, shows up to warn of an impending Apocalypse in a few days.
Five is, as you would guess, a time-traveler. At age ten, he ran away from the Umbrella Academy by traveling to the future and got stuck there. Fifty years went by until he figured out a way back and when he returned, not only did he accidentally get himself stuck in the wrong time, he also got stuck as a ten-year-old. Oops. Somewhere in-between getting lost and found, he picked up some truly awesome kung-fu skills and a serious outlook on life. He'll do whatever it takes to get the job done, whether it's shooting someone's brains out, massacring over forty people in less than a minute, or punching through someone's skull. (His definition of getting the job done is a bit narrow.)

For the last time, I'm not getting up on the Mess Hall roof to deliver this announcement. I don't care if you think it's tradition and I still don't believe that the camp's loudspeaker is broken. The sign "Out Of Order: Come Back Yesterday" is neither convincing nor funny. But since I haven't found the loudspeaker control room yet, I'll just stand in front of the Mess Hall to give the campers my announcement.
Listen up! The Umbrella Academy has received reports of Apocalypse-type activities from this location and I'm here to put a stop to it. But now that I'm here, it's hard to believe the reports. Usually in these situations, there's a lot of horrified screaming and massive explosions, maybe a few incinerated children. I've only seen one person screaming so far and it had something to do with a girl named Marcy touching him. I'm sorry to say that heavy petting isn't a sign of the end of the world, it's just a sign of puberty. I did see some explosions but considering that they were of sparkles and pink light, it's unlikely they were caused by a doomsday device. And as for burnt children, I haven't seen any although I have seen a few examples of pyrokinesis. I suppose the fact that some of you can incinerate each other might count.
Everyone is just too calm for possible imminent destruction. There is nothing here that deserves my time and my time is a precious- if that group of zombies over there takes one more step in my direction, I'm going to rip their rotting brains out their nostrils and turn their skulls into a nice collection of vases. The report did say there was an infestation of the living-impaired but I thought that was an unusually creative description for a large group of teenagers. Fine, it doesn't matter, I'll take care of your zombie problem. My credentials? I personally put a bullet into my sister's head to stop an Apocalypse and you want to know if I have the guts to rip apart some guys who are losing theirs? Do you want me to put a bullet in your brain to prove I can or tie your lungs into a bow on your head? Because I don't have any problems with a little visceral show-and-tell.
Don't give me that horrified look. Just because I look like a kid doesn't mean I am a kid. It's called time-travel and I can do it. My current condition is the result of a slight mishap, not that it's anyone's business. I'll just dismember your zombies, since everyone is too lazy and calm to do it themselves, and be on my way. What about the barrier? What barri- oh, you have got to be kidding me. Let me guess, it's immune to guns, lasers, machetes, alien technology, excessive violence, vigilantes and even revolution. Well, that was before I had a shot at it. Believe me, after you've cracked the equation for going back in time, destroying an upside-down glowing tupperware bowl is nothing. It'll be gone in a week.
I don't know what I said that was so funny but if everyone doesn't stop laughing, you're all going to be wearing lung bows as hats.

Character Name: Junael
Character Age: 212 (Can pass for high school age)
Series: Mark of the Succubus
Canon: A kid's life is just full of trials like teachers out to get you, romance in the way of work, exams looming in, and, oh, you know, falling in love with the human you were supposed to seduce and kill. For a baaaaaaaaaby succubus, final exams can have a few extra complications. Erebus, the demon world, is a place of Machiavellian mindsets, strict rules, documentation, and guidelines. And in this world, the best way to jump in power and position is to catch someone else breaking those rules: something that USUALLY takes time, patience and diligence. The Big Bad, of course, decides to get around all of this is by entrapping one of the workers who deal with the intricacies of these laws to do her dirty work. After all, who else would know the best ways around them?
That unfortunate worker is an imp named Junael, who immediately ignored the implied order to sabotage things and began working behind the scenes to put together a situation to backfire everything at his captor. This was not out of any silly sense of public good, but because of certain quiet pride and this is Not How Things Are Done. Junael is reserved, meticulous and keeps information very close to chest. He'd much rather pull things into place neatly than be a showy, front-line fighter any day of the century. This isn't to say that a show of affection can't fluster him greatly, or a fledgling's wide-eyed wonder at the human world can't crack him a little bit.
Sample Post:
It appears that the rumor of a new form of human magic was an inappropriate choice of words to describe the situation at this Camp. There is nothing even so uncertain as a possibility to investigate. Even if the impressive weave of the barrier were to be dismissed as an older art, there's still the fact that this 'Director' had managed to cast it with so few years to study. There are still shambling corpses, bound to a longer, if unpleasant life to take into account. Or the small creatures repeating a somewhat unintelligible message about saving and a game over and over, in what I can only take as a rescue plea. There is a creative, if somewhat depraved, mind behind most of this.
What is, however, unsettling is a distinctive trace of a demon's magic amidst all of this chaotic, unmanaged ability. It's an older, unmistakably inhuman presence. There were, once, water-dwelling creatures who carried out the same art and purpose as succubus do now, and with far less finesse and a great deal more appendages. It is troubling to find one here, since it indicates a truly powerful human mage. I am hardly prepared to deal with a threat or fight of that nature. More importantly, quite unwilling to do so alone.
On the other hand, if the situation were to point to the demon as being the source of all the magical disturbances in the area, rather than the human, it would neatly solve this entire case immediately, or at least, put it in someone else's jurisdiction. And I could return to real work. I'm certain the files are in utter disarray already. There IS the questionable plus of there only being one body of water large enough for a giant squid-like creature to inquire at. Though I can't say I appreciate the way both the apes and zombies snigger while pointing on the way to the lake.
A simple spell is required for translation, and another to disturb the water from a safe distance and... there she is. I haven't seen another of her kind so large since... Marau-chi- Marcy, then. My apologies. Please don't seem so surprised. Of course I would recognize you. It's been more than a few decades since I, or anyone else has seen you. There have been inquiries.
Now. While my initial duty here is somewhat detached from the matter at hand, this is impossible to overlook. Whether you had just been summoned or took it as an assignment is of absolutely no consequence to me at all any more. There is a greater issue at stake here, and one that I should not think is wise to ignore. Even excusing the entirely public way you've decided to operate, if you plan on conducting these activities, you must renew your license.
I can't make you? ... Yes. Well. Just so you should know, there will be a report on this.
Character: Junael
Series: Mark of the Succubus
Character Age: 212, looks to be around mid-teens
Canon: "No human magic. No revealing the existence of demon-kind. No getting attached." The three most important Rules a demon needs to know.
In the demon world of Erebus, how can a power-hungry succubus go about getting what she really wants? Well, for starters, bringing someone who broke one of the demon world's strictest Rules to justice. So when Maeve, a newly licensed demon, goes to the human world, the afore mentioned power-hungry succubus sends her pet imp to stalk follow the girl (aka "do it or you die in a slow and painful way") just in case she does something wrong . Just in case. Lucky for her, Maeve falls in love with the human that should have been her first kill. And that's where the trouble begins . . .
The imp, Junael, works at Erebus's Registry, where each and every piece of paperwork a demon's involved in goes through. He is incredibly intelligent, researching and analyzing possibilities before stepping in to any situation, which allows him to conceal or reveal important pieces of information only when it becomes useful for him to do so. With his strong sense of duty to his job and a vast knowledge of the Rules' inner workings, Jun is capable of knowing when and how to best bend a rule without breaking it. Calm and collected, he almost never loses his cool and maintains an air of aloof conceit, which is belied by a rarely seen affection for Maeve and her companions.
Sample Post:
The succubus, Marcy, correct? I am Junael of The Erebus Registry of Demonic Function and Affairs. Good evening, please consider this a long delayed check-up. Licensed about four years ago, your file states that you have stayed in Louisiana, United States of America since your first visit to the human realm. Very well. There were a few points of contention with your methods and progress, so without further ado, let us begin.
In the three years, nine months, and seven days you've been in the human world, you have not only stayed in a solitary spot, you have yet to make any proper human kills. As a matter of fact, if the files I have here are correct, your only kills have been purple primates, various forms of sea-life, and . . . humans who are recorded to have died a long time ago. You have Marked some hundreds of humans, and while it is usually overlooked for a demon's first kill to be on the slow side, over three years is a bit too much even for the most lenient of officials. It would be wise, Marcy, if a few actual, living humans were listed among those you've killed. You are one of the few succubi able to create the perfume trainees use to attract humans, but the concentration in which you secrete it is far too high. Upon contact, humans are falling for each other instead of you, which rather defeats the purpose of such aphrodisiacs. And really, pink is not quite the most subtle color. Perhaps it should be your goal to work on your endurance as to not prematurely release ejaculation. You have allowed the humans to grow far too wary of you.
The files at the Registry have shown you submitted a petition to remain in the form of a cephalopod instead of donning a form more convenient to camouflage in this realm-- while it is uncommon, it is not entirely unheard of for a succubus to choose this option. I did some extra research and it seems that a number of succubi and incubi who've decided to visit the area of the human realm known as "Japan" have chosen to do that, thus the growing popularity of . . . ahem tentacles used in sexual activities. Indeed, it seems to have even been incorporated into a part of their culture, especially when integrated with the Japanese phenomenon known as "doujinshi." It would appear that whether or not these humans have come into contact with a succubus, their very presence in the past has been enough to trigger a wave of fascination with the cephalopod form. I suspect this was one of the reasons your petition was approved.
All else aside, I would advise you take advantage of the extra time you have been granted to complete what you should be doing. I'm afraid that if you do not, you will be requested to return to Erebus for re-training. Normally, you would have been called back long ago, but it appeared your file had been misplaced. If you would like to look your papers over, I shall leave them here. Please ignore the stains and wrinkles, it was located in a rather . . . sticky situation.
