Character: Cyborg 17 (Future)
Series: Dragonball Z
Age: Unknown; appears to be in his late teens.
Canon: For this recipe, start with the legend called "Journey to the West." Add several cups of food puns, a dozen aliens, a squeeze of space travel, and two or three VERY large power levels. Sprinkle generously with jokes about balls, and bake for ten years. The result? Dragonball Z, the second half of one of the most well-known shonen series ever. Of course, everything is better with alternate apocalyptic future timelines, and DBZ is no exception. This is where Cyborg 17 comes in.
In a world where most of the serious villains are either aliens or freaks of magic/science, 17 is surprisingly "normal." He's your stereotypical rebellious teenage boy: he wears ripped jeans and Converse, loves fast cars, and hates authority of any kind. Looks can be deceiving, however: he's murdered a good portion of the world's population with his bare hands. Cyborg 17 has exactly one goal in life, and that is to have as much fun as he can. If he can't find fun in a situation, he will make his own, often to the detriment of others. Case in point: his favorite pastime is driving around hot sports cars and motorcycles... while running over as many people as possible, and laughing like a lunatic as they scream. Humans are only good for toys, as far as 17 is concerned, and if he breaks them...? Well, he can always go find more. Egotistical and cruel, the only thing he doesn't see as being put on Earth for his personal amusement (most of the time, anyway) is his twin sister, 18.

Well, well, well. What do we have here? I knew there had to be something interesting in this vicinity -- after all, lakes don't glow without a reason -- but I definitely wasn't expecting to find a nest of humans. A pretty big one, from the looks of it... and is that a swimming pool? The little rascals have clearly gotten too cocky in our absence. Serves me right for thinking that we had cleaned out the pests on our last run through here; I should know better by now. Of course, this isn't entirely a bad thing- after all, this just means I get to have the pleasure of finishing the job.
It's rather flattering, though; knowing that they'd prefer to die a slow death by radiation poisoning and disease rather than face us. Kind of stupid of them, too, but that's not surprising. I wouldn't expect much more from mere humans... but it looks like a least a few are smart enough to regret that choice of action, judging by the ragtag group shambling toward me. Not that I blame 'em, after seeing the state they're in. I've seen things that have been dead for months that look better than that. Well, it's a good thing for them that I'm feeling generous today; I'll do the right thing and put the pitiful creatures out of their misery.
...Huh. Last time I checked, humans stopped moving after I killed them. Well, yeah, some of 'em would twitch a little or something, but they didn't get back up; people die if they are killed, after all. This is interesting! I wonder how many blows it'll take to bring one down... oh, there it went. Certainly not as good as I was hoping for, and the lack of screaming or begging kind of took all the fun out of it. If I'm going to put the effort into actually toying with it, I'd hope it'd have the sense to at least try to take advantage of that, but the stupid thing didn't even try to escape! What a waste of my time.
If I can't amuse myself breaking the humans here, then I might as well have fun blowing everything up. Explosions never get old, and there's something satisfying in taking down buildings with one good shot- especially if you get to watch it crush things on the way down. The best part is that if I aim right, I might even be able to chase the humans right into the lake! I've always wondered what massive radiation did to the human body... looks like this might be my chance to find out.
By the time I'm done with this place, it'll look like it belongs in another dimension.
Poll Vote! Character: Andou Nene
Series:
HyakkoCharacter Age: 15
Canon: Hyakko is the story of a group of four different girls who attend the same prestigious school and who eventually find friendship with each other as they go through life and learn to grow as people yadda yadda feelings robots ninja blackmail yadda. That stuff? Is just the backdrop for the character who should rightfully be the star of the show.
In fact, if Andou Nene did have her own show, she'd probably want it to be a lesbian harem anime.
Nene, you see, is the sophisticated class rep of 1-6, with plans to become the next student council president of Kamizono Academy. Clearly, this means she must be responsible, hard-working, and a staunch follower of the rules, right? Wrong. The truth if, Nene's high and respectable aspirations are a front for a far more devious scheme: she wants to have the power to officially shorten the skirt on the girls' school uniform by 5 cm. Shamelessly a self-declared bisexual and also quite shamelessly perverted, Nene's one MO in life seems to be to sexually harass and lust after as many girls as possible while simultaneously trying to put on a grand show of upholding the very rules she endlessly flaunts; from accepting bribes and flipping skirts in public to "check the dress code" on someone's panties to having to attend summer school after getting distracted by pornography on the night before exams, Nene is probably the last person you'd want in an actual position of power. It's really too bad for her female classmates that she seems almost halfway competent at executing her plans.

Camp Fuck~ You Die, meet your future Director!
Oh, I see the look on your faces and I know what you all must be thinking: "This girl... this girl must be crazy! Who does she think she is coming in here and already being so sure of herself?" And while you're entitled to your wrong opinions, of course, I must point out that the only way I'm crazy is like a fox! You see, I'm throwing myself into the running for your next elected official, my dear campers. Because I am Andou Nene, class representative of Kamizono Academy's Class 1-6, and I have experience! So listen to my platform!
First, as your new Director, I'd make sure that the "no mixed sex cabins" rule is enforced! It's just neater that way. Sure, it may seem like I'm stifling your love lives, budding romances and inappropriate exploits~ ♥ but it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. This is incidentally why I am also proposing mandatory nightly pillow fights for all you girls out there. It may seem odd, but what better tension relief exercise could there be than watching such adorable girls go at each other, clad only in the . . . flimsiest of . . . sleepwear . . . ahem. You can thank me later!
Second, I think it's time we collectively got our thinking caps on to come up with an official Camp Fuck You Die uniform! Alterations on the main theme are acceptable, of course, as long as I give my approval . . . after a thorough inspection, naturally. It's all in your best interests, since I understand the weather here can be quite tricky, and once those summer months hit, I'd hate for you all to be so overdressed. Priestly robes just aren't going to cut it, I'm afraid.
Third . . . Well, there is no third, yet! But rest assured that I will think of something brilliant to take this number three spot, and then even more brilliant things to fill spots four to ten! In the meantime, a candidate has to campaign, isn't that right? You may hand me your babes to kiss and your hands to shake and, oh! You may even take your picture with me. I'm a very accessible individual.
In fact, I think I'll go and get acquainted with some of the locals right now. It's all about campaigning, you know? And I've already got a tip on where to start! I've learned about a delinquent who dwells by the lake named Marcy, who is just yearning to have her troubled heart soothed. Ho ho ho~, sounds like a tsundere to me. Luckily, that's just my type! ♥
Poll Vote! Character: Shino (Nanao)
Series:
.hack//G.U.Character Age: 20 (appears 16)
Canon: There's a classic saying we're all familiar with: the internet is serious business. This becomes all too true when players of the popular MMORPG The World begin falling into comas after a Player Killer attacks them inside the game. Shino is a normal player who becomes one of the first victims to go comatose, and afterwards her friend Haseo begins his quest to hunt down the perp and defeat him, hoping that his actions will trigger Shino's awakening. This in turn leads him to try to save the other coma victims, commonly referred to as Lost Ones, and make the game a safe place again.
Shino is a Harvest Cleric, the game's equivalent of a White Mage class, and in real life, a college student studying medicine. A quiet and polite young woman, she's generally friendly and sports a calm demeanor and an incredible amount of patience. She rarely, if ever, gets upset, and is always willing to listen to other people's problems. Indeed, at a first glance, she seems like she has it together fairly well, but along with her selfless side, Shino also has a selfish side that leaves her a bit bitter. She also manages to be a bit anti-social sometimes, and while she's good at hiding these sides of her, if someone hurts one of her friends, she may just make their life uncomfortable.
* Note: In The World, players use combinations of words to warp to areas. Also, boss monsters will show up on your map while navigating an area.

You don't need to be alarmed, I'm from the internet. I suppose that sounds strange, doesn't it? It's rather strange for me as well, actually. I was sure I was logged into an online game, and although I thought everything seemed like usual, that must not have been the case. After all, even though this is my character, I'm not in the game anymore, am I? I needed to get to Δ Unwilling Bold Tentacles to complete a quest, but while it is a shame, it can wait. I'm more worried about you, actually. You look like you could use some help. Is there anything I can do?
Ahh, you're worried about your brains. I know how it feels to doubt yourself, and there's nothing to be ashamed of -- everyone loses confidence now and then, even tough guys like yourself. But you know what? I've found that when you're unsure of yourself and you don't think you have any good qualities left, well, that's when you need to realize that you have a lot more good in you than what you've been thinking. We may have just met, but I already like you, and I think you're smart. It doesn't matter how big someone else's brain is; I think yours is just as good and intelligent as theirs.
There now, you seem to be doing better. You don't need to thank me or anything, though. I just did what anyone would do for someone in trouble, that's all. Still, I'm glad I could help. If there's anything else you need, don't hesitate to ask-- . . . well, that was fast! It's fine, it's fine. I don't mind; I think it's a bit amusing, actually. I haven't met many guys who will admit they're nervous about talking to a girl, let alone ask another girl to go with them. Since this sounds interesting, I'd be happy to go with you, but maybe you shouldn't be saying things like "you'll understand when you meet her"? I don't want to get a bad impression of Miss Marcy before I even meet her.
I have to admit, I'm a bit curious, but I won't ask about what you think of her. Still, she must be pretty important if you're worried about how you appear to her, hm? Well, whatever the case may be, I hope things work out for the best for you and her. Ah, I don't mean to change the subject, but this really is an unusual place, isn't it? Even though this isn't the game, it reminds me of some of the fields I've seen there, but I'm glad there aren't any monsters here. -- Hm? Actually, I should take that back. My map for the area seems like it's working, but it's saying there's a boss monster up ahead of us. I wonder if that's correct. If that's where Marcy is, she might be in trouble, but you're saying we don't need to worry? I'm a little doubtful of that; after all, bosses are-- she is the boss monster? That's . . .
. . . Ah. I'm beginning to understand what you meant now when you said she was a hands-on type of girl.

Mimi TachikawaSeries:
Digimon Adventure (Series 1)
Character Age: 10 (Fifth Grade)
Canon: When seven Japanese kids signed up for summer camp, they had no idea they were going to be sent to another world. Hmmm, sound familiar? In this new world, these seven children are the only humans and they are partnered with creatures called Digimon. In true children's show fashion, these kids are the chosen ones who were sent to the digital world in order to save it. Along the way they learn important things like bravery, friendship, and love while kicking a lot of evil digimon butt!
Not all of the kids are suited for adventure though. Mimi is the spoiled kid of the group. She's a girly girl, and she likes to think of herself as a princess. She spends a lot of the time squealing and running away. Well, not that you can really blame her; she does have it pretty rough. For some reason, it's a running joke that gross poop throwing (yes, poop throwing) Digimon always seem to develop crushes on Mimi and chase her around for half an episode. Then again, another reason they chase her around is because she can be pretty harsh and blunt when she's really pushed to the ends of her dignity. Still, that's all part of Mimi's charm: she might whine, judge by appearances and seem incredibly immature and self-absorbed, but as the Chosen Child of Purity (TM), she's a good person who gradually learns to be more considerate of other people and fight for her friends.
Sample Post:
No waaaay. Why does stuff like this keep happening to me? I've had enough of strange summer camps. I can't take this anymore! You, stop chasing me already. What's your problem anyway? I already said I'm not going to date you even if you were the last zombie on earth. And I don't want your heart either. It's gross! ...Aah, stop being so angry with me! It's not my fault you can't take rejection!
...I think I lost him. What's with this place anyway? I thought America was full of shopping centers and movie stars! But there's nothing but swamps. Aaaaah, I've had enough. I never asked for any of this. I just want to be able to sleep in a bed! IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK? ...I'm tired, and I'm thirsty. ...Hm? What are toucans doing all the way out here. Are you lost? W-What are you doing? You almost hit me! This is my favourite hat; I won't have you pooping on it. That is not your cue to try do it more! Grrrr, you think it's funny to laugh at a young girl troubles? You're all a bunch of jerks!
I'm exhausted. I can't keep running. What am I going to do when it gets dark? I hate camping outside. Oh, as if I didn't have enough troubles, not you again. I said I won't give you a kiss and that's that! ...What, really? There are other people here and you want to show me? ...Oh! There are buildings here, so there must be people too! This is starting to look like a real camp after all. I'm sorry for doubting you. You know, you're not such a bad zombie after all. I still wouldn't date you in a million years, but maybe there's a nice girl zombie just for you.
To show my appreciation, I'll give you a complete make-over so you'll stop looking like a total creep. You need some colour in your wardrobe; right now you just look kind of dead and drab. Look at me! I'm wearing pink. Pink is bright and cheerful. Real men wear pink. Look at those gorillas. They have the right idea! Purple's great too, it's very in right now, don't you know. Oh, and what you did earlier - offering your heart. It's sweet, but when you think about it, it's too messy. Your blood would drip all over her nice clothes. You do have the right idea though. A girl likes to be pampered. You should treat her like a princess! Instead of yucky body parts, offer her chocolate or flowers!
Okay! There's another zombie! Get ready. Here I've picked you some dandelions. Take them! Aahhh did our hands really have to touch? So gross. What's with that posture? Stand up straight. ...I guess you can't really do that. W-well try to look confident anyway. It'll help if you pick up your jaw. Just keep it shut if all you're going to say is "braaaaaains". Okay... now make your move!
...I SAID NOT ME!
Poll Vote! Character Name: Tōgū Shizumasa
Series:
Shinshi Doumei CrossAge: 16
Canon: The heir of a prestigious family and "emperor" of an elite private academy, Tōgū Shizumasa has it all: looks, popularity, status, a pretty girlfriend, and a skeleton in his closet-or rather, an identical twin brother locked up in the basement of the family estate. Thanks to the most esteemed and excellent tradition of inbreeding, those of the Tōgū family often have poor health. This led to a system where one twin out of a set would be raised as just a "shadow" of the other, ready to take over family responsibilities in case of death or illness. Needless to say, family relations tend to be strained. The lucky twin allowed to live in the light, Shizumasa is driven by his brother's hatred and twisted by guilt over having knowingly abandoned Takanari to to his fate. But when Shizumasa's rapidly deteriorating health forces Takanari to take his place at school, a love triangle develops between the twins and the perky ex-yankee Otomiya Haine, changing their lives for better and for worse.
The younger of the twins, Shizumasa is weaker both physically and emotionally. His outer demeanor is often cheerful, but his smiling face hides his deep uncertainty, soul-crushing guilt, and a slightly twisted sense of morality. Hard-working and efficient, Shizumasa can be demanding and painfully blunt, accustomed to having the entire world at his beck and call. Occasionally ruthless, to say that Shizumasa is a privileged brat would be an understatement. Nobody is safe from his sharp tongue-but at the same time, when given a chance, Shizumasa would rather be kind than cruel. His relationship with Haine slowly convinces him to open up, revealing his sweeter nature, fragile and damaged though it may be; and he begins to show more of his own quiet strength, pride, and decisiveness after discovering that he is the one that needs to learn to stand on his own, not his shadow. Even after he embraces this part of himself and reconciles with his past, though, Shizumasa never stops facing the world with a big smile that may or may not cut you if you're not careful. He's Tōgū Shizumasa, after all, and will never let on how much of his attitude goes only skin-deep.

Wow! How exciting! From the moment I stepped out of the car, it's like I've been transported to an entirely different world. Camp Fuck You Die-haha, even the name is so bold. I have to say, comparing this to what I expected having read the advertisement brochure, in person this place is . . .
Absolutely unacceptable! ♥ If this is the best that S.U.P., Inc. can provide, then you can certainly forget about signing any sort of contract with the Imperial Academy though I can't say I expected much from Russians in the first place. As far as enthralling goes, the only aspect of this place that holds my attention is the sheer disbelief at the thought of our students staying in these pest-infested cabins. If you want to display intriguing insect life, do so behind glass at an exhibit, not up close and personal. There's nothing wrong with offering an authentic experience, but there are some lines that just shouldn't be crossed.
Speaking of lines, however, that reminds me-I've never seen actors quite as stiff as the ones portraying the zombies here. The gorillas are the wrong colour entirely, the forest creatures need to lurk more, and as for the wolves that were mentioned, I don't have a clue where to begin finding them. And really, a "tentacle monster" that we can't even see? Even if you're using that part of your budget for other things, I could buy a better monster with half my month's allowance-just hire a few animatronics engineers from Hollywood and you'll be all set. As for as the murky water, I understand that it's to set the mood, but you can't judge something's quality if you keep it shrouded in shadow. If you really want to create something that will touch peoples' hearts and imaginations . . . make it so it can stand up under the light. That's what I think, anyway.
With all that in mind, I'm sure you can tell that there's a lot of room for improvement. However, that doesn't mean that something can't be arranged; after traveling all this way to check out the area, it would almost be disappointing to have to leave so soon. I've taken the liberty of having my belongings transferred to one of the guest cabins and intend to stay the night before I make my final decision. As for tonight, I hope to get an idea of what kind of people you have here and what the campers themselves can be expected to-
. . . when I said I would settle for a twin-sized bed, I can't say I expected something quite so . . . are those handcuffs? And . . . ah. On second thought, perhaps some things are best neither experienced nor spoken about.
Poll Vote! Character: Aizawa Kouichi
Series: Nabari no Ou
Character Age: 14
Canon: In our modern time, one would think ninjas to be extinct. Who would ever think that there's a hidden world populated entirely by them? Co-existing with the Normal World, Nabari, as it's called, has a number of ninja villages with one goal: to possess the Shinrabanshou, a type of hijutsu, [hidden jutsu or secret techinque] with god-like powers containing all the knowledge known to exist in this world. This manga is about Miharu who is the one currently holding the Shinrabanshou and does not want to have anything to do with ninjas or their world. Nabari's inhabitants, however, do not see that as a valid reason for not involving him and trying to get a hold of at least a piece of the power Miharu possesses.
One of these ninjas is Kouichi Aizawa, a member of Banten, the smallest of the so called 'villages' and also the village first to come in contact with Miharu. Kouichi is your everyday, polite 14 year old school kid, in the same class as Miharu, a slight klutz, very interested in ninja arts and leader of the school ninja club. When talking to Kouichi, you'll be faced with his energetic attitude and slightly loose opinion about everything. However, with his duties as a ninja he's serious, relentless and cold blooded to a degree which is very unusual for such a young person. He seems a bit too fascinated by death and doesn't seem afraid of fights or the fact that he might die while in battle. He's light hearted towards any challenge he puts in front of him, but when encountering complications a bit greater than anticipated, his desperation and conviction for his own beliefs shines through. That shows some proof that he's attached to the people he knows.

There's plenty of space around for-- that's my weapon! Give it back, if you please. I actually need it, considering what creatures I've already seen around... "Brains"? That really isn't very eloquent. I truly hope you're not trying to tell me you want to--

Though perhaps kindness isn't really something to expect from someth-- someone at this level of decay. Do you even understand me? Ahaha… I guess not. "Grurhg"? Was that a question? Oh, my weapon. I'd still like that back, you know. I use it frequently and I can't really have you wander off with it. Ah, please don't pull, and don't nibble on my leg. You might be undead, but that doesn't mean I can't dispose of you when I want to. Hm. I do wonder how you died… even though I know zombies to be regarded as "living dead". That is an interesting theory, but I could have lived without the rotting thing going on. No, you don't have to demonstrate that. Not rea-- how do you walk with only half a leg? How peculiar.
