Character: Kitchel
Series: Dragon Knights
Character's Age: N/A, late teens
Canon:Dragon Knights is the classic story of a battle between the forces of Good (the Dragon Tribe) and the forces of Evil (the Demon Clan). Kitchel grew up as a thief in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom and got hired by the Dragon Lord himself after she tried to rob his castle. Now she's officially a treasure hunter, since the shiny objects she collects are not other people's property, but mystical relics of lore. Her mission was to collect the Three Treasures--three magical items of godly power. After attaining them, her next goal was to get the heck back to the castle so she could deliver them. Unfortunately, she ended up stuck in the Demon Realm, in another dimension.
But fortunately, Kitchel is optimistic to the point of irritating the heck out of her companions, and has the uncanny knack for slipping out of any trouble she might find herself in. Kitchel is energetic and talkative and enthusiastic, especially when it comes to riches (and the pursuit thereof), and is very protective of her friends--and pretty much everyone is her friend.While she's just a human running around weaponless and powerless in a world playing host to a battle of monsters and magic, Kitchel never loses the confidence that she will be able to eventually come out on top--she is a thief, after all, or was that treasure hunter? It doesn't matter how useless she might be in a given situation, chances are that she'll offer to help. Unless you're a strong, sexy man. Then she's just gonna sit back and enjoy the show. ♥

Oh my god, this is getting so old!
Leave me alone, you freaks! I've got a feeling I'm gonna need all the brains I have to get out of this weird place! Sheesh, at least you're not that fast. And while I'm glad you're slow, I wish you wouldn't fall apart while I was outrunning you. Man, that's seriously one of the grosser things I've seen, and you're talking to a girl running through her second zombie-filled forest of the week. I guess this is more of a swamp than a forest, but that's just worse! At least there were caves and stuff for me to camp out in there, but so far here I've just seen mud. Now, if these weirdos were chasing me through a Five-Star Spa, that would be a different story, but I can't take a mud bath in this stuff! That's just gross! A girl's gotta have limits or she'll end up in all kinds of trouble!
Ugh, these things are a real pain in the ass! Sure, they might be mostly harmless, but can't a girl get a moment's peace? I can barely hear myself think with everything going on! It's not that I'm worried I won't find my way out of here, but, seriously, don't I deserve a break by now? I'm working for the Dragon Lord himself, after all, and shouldn't a job like that come with some pretty cushy perks? Actually, the yearly bonuses are great, but right about now I'd be willing to trade that in for some paid vacation time! I know that sign said this place was some sort of camp but no way is it the kind I'd want to attend. What sort of parents send their kids to a place like this, anyway? I bet it's a delinquent camp or something. Great, now I've gotta worry about getting shanked in addition to getting felt up by these things! And besides-- Oh!
Oh, wow! ♥
Take a look at that lake! Now, this is what I'm talking about! With any luck I bet I can sniff out some buried treasure, too. This is just the sort of place pirates stash their gold, right? I mean, that sand looks so white and soft! I'm so gonna soak up some sun once I get these uglies off my trail. ...Actually, they look like they're hanging back a bit... Whatever, more beach for me! Come on, boys! Don't you wanna catch some rays? I can understand trying to keep from getting burnt, but, seriously, with skin that green a little pink might look good. Aw, you're leaving already? I didn't mean to offend you! Hey, could you at least grab me a towel before you go?
I totally take back what I said before. This place isn't that bad! This is tropical paradise quality relaxation, or it would be if it came equipped with some handsome pool boys. Ooh, it'd be like when I had those Dragon Fighters helping me out. Then again, that'd be lots of fun, but how would I get a word in edgewise? Boys can be so loud and obnoxious! Not that I'm complaining. It was pretty nice to have them around to carry around my stuff for me. Of course, a little peace and quiet is good, too.
Um. Is that a tentacle?
Great, just what I need! Some sort of B-movie reject interrupting my fun in the sun! Good thing I've had experience with creeps like this before. I did live on the streets after all, and it's gonna take more than some grabby tentacle monster to stop me from enjoying my well-deserved break! I don't know who you think I am, but I'm not into your idea of R-rated R and R! What I wouldn't give for a weapon, or something to throw at this thing! Where are those zombies when you need them, huh? Whatever, it's no use depending on men all your life, especially not ones as literally flaky as they were. This might just be a hunk of overgrown calamari, but it'd beat them in a flash! It just goes to show that if a girl wants something done, she better face up to the challenge herself!

Are you fucking kidding me? What the hell is this? This is not my lawyer's office. I should have known not to trust directions from someone who looks like a reject from a zombie movie. I should have you maimed for this but I doubt you'd notice the difference. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately? Return of the Living Dead much? I would not be caught dead in a zombie movie. I don't care how in they are; that is not a look that will stand the test of time.
Seriously, this whole horror show set you've got going? Can you say cheap? Was your set design done by the blind? Hiring a retarded friend of the cookie monster to play King Kong or Godzilla or whatever is not going to scare anyone. I wore scarier outfits when I was five. I mean, it was the eighties, and I think big shoulder pads traumatised more people than purple fur ever will. Seriously, get some orange lipstick and some power suits in here, have someone do a Joan Collins impression. That I would actually find scary.
Wait, did your arm just fall off? Freak! So you are like actually a zombie. That is so uncool. Death is so undignified. Clearly being undead is the eternal anti-fashion. I mean, look at that outfit, and that falling out hair! You are so sallow it makes me want to vomit. You offend me with your face. Oh, please, you zombie whore, stop whining about brains. Nobody cares if you're hungry. Go eat one of your friends somewhere else. Just get out of my sight. Your bitching is giving me a headache. This whole place is a giant headache. I just want to get out of this monster movie before one of you hammer horror rejects pukes on my shoes.
If you're not going to go away at least make yourself useful. If you could maybe find me a working cell phone, my dear, I'll help you find the tastiest brains you've ever dreamed of. Wouldn't that be nice? You would be the coolest zombie in town. All the other zombies would look up to you. You know you want it. And while you're doing that you could find a way to dispose of that disgusting tracksuit you keep trying to give me. I was thinking it would look better on fire.

Character: Kisuke
Series: Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Character Age: Unknown, est. somewhere around mid-teens ( player suggested, mod approved )
Canon: The world of Muramasa is filled with the cursed demonblades made by the legendary Swordsmith of Seishu, Senji Muramasa. The Oboro Style's only known rival is the Yagyuu Style, but the latter poses little threat to the former. Due to one side of circumstances involving a stolen katana, Kisuke finds himself without his memory and charged for crimes he doesn't remember committing. At the same time, Kisuke is compelled to seek a stolen katana, and along the way, the truth behind the theft and of the person he once was returns to him. However, by forging the ultimate Muramasa blade and refining the Oboro Style throughout his journey, Kisuke finds he is able to correct his past failures...
Though without his memory, Kisuke's personality is very telling of the kind of boy he is, minus the burdens he used to carry. He enjoys a variety of foods and girls, and isn't shy about admitting either. Kisuke has a positive and witty attitude about him, being mostly laid-back, when he doesn't have to be cunning. At the same time, he is deeply motivated by love and can sometimes be blinded by it. Though he sees himself as a sinner, Kisuke generally doesn't dwell on those thoughts and remains self-confident.
Sample Entry:
Oh, what's this?
I can't leave... How peculiar. Since I've found all the blades in America, it can't be the doing of another Muramasa in the area. This is really troublesome. My mission can't wait; there are still many blades taking over their master's minds as I speak. Besides, I shouldn't let Torahime remain alone for much longer...
Is that... An...octopus...? It looks different. What a sickly color. Must be cramped in that lake. ...Hmm. This seems like an appropriate time to test out the latest katana I retrieved and put it out of its misery. Who knows? Maybe a fisherman around here would appreciate me reeling it in for him. After all, I haven't done any fishing since I was back in Japan. I could use some sushi, too. It's been too long. --Although that donut I tried was pretty good, there's really nothing like eating food that reminds you of home.
All right! Prepare yourself, lake creature! It's nothing personal. You simply happened to be swimming in the wrong lake at the wrong time. Fight all you want, but, this certain blade won't be satisfied until it bathes in every last drop of blood you have to offer!
Ah. Who are you people?
Come again? I can't understand you. Stop groaning when you're trying to talk. ...Listen, you guys look like you haven't eaten in a very long time. So why don't you all stand back and not worry about me? I'd be happy to share my catch with you. Huh? "Brains"? What about it...? You want...brains...? The octopus' brain? I could give it to you, if that's all you guys really want. ...I get it, I get it. I won't harm the brains. No need to keep bringing it up. ......You guys must really love brains.
Don't worry and calm down. Despite there being only one, the octopus has enough brains for all of you. ...Did you not hear what I said about keeping calm?
Step aside now. For if you keep getting in my way, I'll have to try out my new blade on you, too, and then that octopus and its brains will be my dinner alone!

Character: Mireille (Mirei Kurokawa)
Series: .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet (manga)
Character Age: Appears to be in her tweens. 4 in real life.
Canon: In a series about a mind-raping video game and rogue Artificial Intelligence that threatens to bring about the end of the world, .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet (LoTB) is the black sheep of the family. It is set in the year 2014, during the idyllic golden age of the world's most popular MMORPG, aptly named The World. Forget the epic tales of best friends and love interests falling into comas - LoTB is a small-scale story centered around the (mis)adventures of Shugo and Rena, twin siblings who have been awarded the limited-edition avatars of two of The World's legendary heroes - Kite and BlackRose.
As a "Rare Hunter", a collector of unusual items, Mireille is an energetic girl who is initially drawn to Shugo and Rena by their unique player characters. As time goes on, however, she becomes a genuinely good friend to them. Much of her time playing "The World" is spent on collecting rare items, taking part in special events that could potentially yield rare items, and gathering information for the purpose of obtaining rare items. Mireille is generally composed and focused, but she becomes excited and overflows with energy when she feels she is exceptionally close to obtaining another treasure for her collection. Despite her moments of ditziness, she's certainly not an airhead - Mireille is a highly successful and accomplished Rare Hunter in spite of her young age. In real life, she is something of a prodigy and carries herself with uncommon maturity for her age, but at heart she's still just a four-year-old who cares very much for her friends.
Sample Post:
The Rare Hunter of Love and Courage, Mireille-chan enters the area! Fufufu, it looks like nobody's here yet, which means I get to be the first one to take part in the super-secret, extra-special, limited-time only Zombie Camp Halloween Adventure Quest! I can't believe nobody's posted about this in the forums yet! It's a good thing I've been watching the dev team blogs like a hawk! No red herrings can throw the best Rare Hunters off track! First thing's first, it's info collection time! Rule of thumb for any Rare Hunter: always make sure to speak to every NPC, no matter how insignificant they look! After all, the rarest of treasures are always hidden away in places people wouldn't normally look at.
Okay... it looks like there's only three NPCs on this field. And they're all zombies, too! The detail's pretty impressive - I've never seen that kind of NPC model in the game before. The admins must have put a lot of work into this event, not recycling stuff like they did for last year's Christmas Event. This is great! Targeting the nearest Zombie, aaaand, talk command! Speak to me, potential goldmine!
"Braiiiiins", huh? This is The World's first real Halloween event, so I bet this "Brain" item's going to be a big hit! Ooooh, I better get moving and figure out how to find it! I wonder if it's a monster drop? Or maybe it's the reward item for a bigger quest! This is so exciting~! It's too bad Shugo and Rena couldn't make it today. They'll be soooo jealous when they hear about all the cool stuff they missed out on. Shugo was really looking forward to his first Halloween event, too. I even had my super-rare Pumpkin Head costume and equipment set prepared for him, just for the occasion! Ah well, I guess they'll have to settle for hearing all about it from me! Maybe I should take screencaps too, just in case. Alrighty! Off to zombie #2~! It's your turn!
Whaaaaat? "Brains" again? Is this a run-of-the-mill fetch quest? The admins aren't this straightforward most of the time. Or maybe... they're trying to use reverse psychology? This is turning out to be a really unusual event. Why would they make the info so hard to find if the rest of the quest is a cakewalk? Why would they use such detailed character models if they were going to skimp out on the meat of the quest? Zombie # 3? Pleeeeease tell me you've got more clues than the others?
More brains, huh? Thanks a lot, zombies. That's too bad, I guess the admins were swamped this year with all the weird events they planned over the summer. So, I guess it's a regular fetch quest after all. That means I'll have to engage the zombies in PvP to win the loot... That's no fun! What an anticlimactic quest!
But I shouldn't despair! Rare items are rare items, no matter how strange their origins! It's not as if this is the first time I've been disappointed by an event, and it won't be the last! I have to tough it out like a true Rare Hunter! If it's a fetch quest, I'll defeat all the zombies I can find, for the sake of the ultimate treasure!
Take this! And this! And have some of this! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
Nyaha! Jackpot! This must be the "Brain" item the NPC was talking about! The distinctive aroma of a rare item! It's a little tasteless of the admins to make it so realistic, but it'll be a great addition to my collection! Zombies, come to mama! I promise I won't hurt you~ <3

Character: Farfarello
Series: Weiss Kreuz
Character Age: 20
Canon: Four pretty-boy assassins sell flowers by day, and by night they hunt the "dark beasts" of humanity to deny them their tomorrows. These guys are members of a group called Weiss, who answer to the whims of the mysterious Kritiker organization. But for every up side there's a down side, for every white there's its negative black. Frequently opposing Weiss is the aptly named assassin group Schwarz, comprised of many psychic backstabbers. In this world, "May the Schwarz be with you" is little more than a death warrant.
Among the powerful psychics within Schwarz is Farfarello, a man with no canonly known psychic powers. What he does have is a severe hatred of God. You see, Farfarello was a devout Catholic until one day [spoilers]he learned that he was adopted and his biological mother was the nun who was his teacher. In a fit of insanity he slaughtered his parents and sister and blacked out[spoilers]. Afterward he was led to believe that thieves were the culprit and God had victimized him for letting this happen. Since then the death of God has been his greatest desire. Anything that causes God pain, really. Farfarello's twisted logic leads him to commit crimes like torturing priests with acid he dubs "holy water" and desecrating the bodies of others, as well as his own, with knives (his inability to feel pain only makes this more twisted). In Schwarz, Farfarello is the lunatic who shows no fear and is always ready to kill on command. As a person, he's not very talkative and comes off as relatively calm even when he's completely batshit inside. He's so insane that he seems completely sane. Anyone would want revenge against whoever'd wronged their family. He just... takes it to a frightening extreme.
Sample Post:
Gather round, followers of the southern death cult of Camp Fuck You Die. I know not your purpose, only your current state. Your dripping, rotting faces and bodies. It's obvious you are an army of abominations cultivated through your leader's occult whims. I might have had nothing against you and would let you continue with your practices. However, look at what you are. It's detestable. You tried to rise from the dead just like He did! Humans only have one life to live. It matters not that you're only the followers, you're still guilty to the bone. Today, before you're on your last limbs, let your minds become diseased with perverted justice.
You over there. Tie up your leader and bring him here.
Ah, a gorilla posing as a man of the cloth. How fitting. As a beast playing a priest, you are the same as a man attempting to play God. Hey Father, the power you invoked doesn't belong to you. What made you think you had the right to perform mass resurrection? Look at them. Your people can barely take up their own arms and fight. It serves them right to suffer an endless decay. As for you, you're a fool. One who got off easy. Have you no words to defend yourself? You're so quiet. If you won't talk, I'll make you talk.
Here. This water comes from the burning pond where Mother Superior appears to reside. It has been blessed by one of your fellow clergymen; his cloth wasn't nearly as decayed as yours. The green color of the water was already present, I hear. Perhaps it's due to Mother Superior's influence. It might serve as proof that she is unclean. Her actions definitely invoke His wrath. What Mother Marcy does to poor young boys, luring them to the shore so she can trap them in her arms and desecrate their bodies in ways that seem out of a horror movie or a nightmare. What a test. The power of religion and how well it can purify the waters that house such a sinful being. Let's test it out on you. A few drops first.
Your scream wasn't that of a righteous gorilla of the cloth. It was of a sinner. Where is your God now?

Character: Blair
Series: Soul Eater
Character Age: She's a cat, so it's rather unclear. Physically, she's late teens-ish
Canon: Soul Eater takes place in a world much like our own, except that souls are tangible, some people have magic, and others can transform into weaponry. The goal of all weapons (and the technicians who use them) is to consume 99 corrupt souls and the soul of a witch in order to grow into the weapon of Death himself - called a Death Scythe. Despite an unfortunate situation in which the protagonists Soul and Maka mistook her for a witch and tried to take her soul, Blair - a cat with powerful magic and the ability to take human form - decided she liked the two of them anyway and moved in as Maka's pet.
Much of Blair's personality comes directly from the fact that she is a cat. She's very independent and prone to going off and doing her own thing, and she is confident: As a cat, she's confident in her magic, and as a human, she's confident in her looks and aware of how she can use them to her advantage: Blair knows she's cute and plays that up (like occasionally referring to herself in the third person, for one). She is curious, inquisitive, and capricious because above all else, she hates to be bored. She'll go to great lengths to get people to “play” with her - the boobsquish being her method of choice - and if her lack of consideration for what others are doing seems selfish or self-centered, it's because ... it is. Blair is constantly in search of things that interest her, even at the expense of others. But despite that, there is genuine affection deep down in her kitty heart for certain people. If you try to threaten those she does care for, you're in for one hell of a catfight.
Sample Post:
Nya... this isn't fair at all! If the signs all say “Camp Seafood,” then there should be seafood! But there isn't any, it's just a dirty cafeteria with smelly, smelly food! Blair thinks she's lost her appetite... And even if there's water everywhere you look, there aren't any tasty fish there, either! It's so dirty and gross, it's for little filthy rats to swim around in, not for cats like Blair to use for their nice, warm bubble baths.
And even if there are fishes in the lake, it would make you sick if you ate them! It's no fun to have little fishies if you can't eat them. This place feels so bor~ing... Blair misses having good places to shop! The only things in that tiny little store are ugly hats and T-shirts that wouldn't look good at all! There aren't any new jackets or cute new boots, and the only underwear around here is out on that weird tree, and none of it's even the tiniest bit cute! “Marcy's Secret,” blech! That's the worst sense of fashion in a tree that Blair's ever seen. Who would ever wear a shirt like this that doesn't show off anything at all, and doesn't have any cute frilly lace to make up for it? Oh... maybe if I shrunk it down a bit, it would look okay? No, that's no good, it'd still be so plain and Blair doesn't know how to sew, either...
Mm, though... I guess there's a reason nobody's buying all these stupid dull clothes. There are some very interesting-looking people, and you wouldn't see any of them back in Death City, nya! Their hair and outfits are almost as cute as Blair's are! Even if the rest of the place is all boring, Blair could still have fun with them. Oh, oh, they could never resist someone as lovely and won~der~ful as me ♥ Mm... and when you think about it, the weird gorillas with the strange purple fur could use some advice, right? They just drag people out of bed to wake them up; that just makes everybody angry! Nyaha, Blair could do a much better job of waking everybody up in the morning. It'd be much more pleasant for everybody involved~
Hmm? Somebody is coming over here... are they new? Who are you, nya? Have you come to admire such a beautiful lady? It's okay, don't worry, Blair is used to the attention ♥ Even if you are dirty and smell like three-week-old fish, you can still appreciate when someone is cute and sexy~ But... you aren't really Blair's type. She likes cute boys, whose skin isn't saggy and old-looking, and who have all their teeth. So even though you can look all you want, you really shouldn't try to touch.
Oh, you want your friends to come over to meet me, too? That's fine! As long as you tell them they can't touch either; not if they're as ugly as you! Nya... so many people are coming to see Blair, how exciting! ...sigh, but they all look as bad as their friend. What good is having all of those people when none of them are nice to look at?
Blair hates being bored...

She's up to date on all the trends and likes to punctuate her statements with pop culture references and biting innuendo. Courtney is the cruelest of the cool, ruling the school with terror and enjoying it all the way.

Are you fucking kidding me? What the hell is this? This is not my lawyer's office. I should have known not to trust directions from someone who looks like a reject from a zombie movie. I should have you maimed for this but I doubt you'd notice the difference. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately? Return of the Living Dead much? I would not be caught dead in a zombie movie. I don't care how in they are; that is not a look that will stand the test of time.
Seriously, this whole horror show set you've got going? Can you say cheap? Was your set design done by the blind? Hiring a retarded friend of the cookie monster to play King Kong or Godzilla or whatever is not going to scare anyone. I wore scarier outfits when I was five. I mean, it was the eighties, and I think big shoulder pads traumatised more people than purple fur ever will. Seriously, get some orange lipstick and some power suits in here, have someone do a Joan Collins impression. That I would actually find scary.
Wait, did your arm just fall off? Freak! So you are like actually a zombie. That is so uncool. Death is so undignified. Clearly being undead is the eternal anti-fashion. I mean, look at that outfit, and that falling out hair! You are so sallow it makes me want to vomit. You offend me with your face. Oh, please, you zombie whore, stop whining about brains. Nobody cares if you're hungry. Go eat one of your friends somewhere else. Just get out of my sight. Your bitching is giving me a headache. This whole place is a giant headache. I just want to get out of this monster movie before one of you hammer horror rejects pukes on my shoes.
If you're not going to go away at least make yourself useful. If you could maybe find me a working cell phone, my dear, I'll help you find the tastiest brains you've ever dreamed of. Wouldn't that be nice? You would be the coolest zombie in town. All the other zombies would look up to you. You know you want it. And while you're doing that you could find a way to dispose of that disgusting tracksuit you keep trying to give me. I was thinking it would look better on fire.

Character: Kisuke
Series: Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Character Age: Unknown, est. somewhere around mid-teens ( player suggested, mod approved )
Canon: The world of Muramasa is filled with the cursed demonblades made by the legendary Swordsmith of Seishu, Senji Muramasa. The Oboro Style's only known rival is the Yagyuu Style, but the latter poses little threat to the former. Due to one side of circumstances involving a stolen katana, Kisuke finds himself without his memory and charged for crimes he doesn't remember committing. At the same time, Kisuke is compelled to seek a stolen katana, and along the way, the truth behind the theft and of the person he once was returns to him. However, by forging the ultimate Muramasa blade and refining the Oboro Style throughout his journey, Kisuke finds he is able to correct his past failures...
Though without his memory, Kisuke's personality is very telling of the kind of boy he is, minus the burdens he used to carry. He enjoys a variety of foods and girls, and isn't shy about admitting either. Kisuke has a positive and witty attitude about him, being mostly laid-back, when he doesn't have to be cunning. At the same time, he is deeply motivated by love and can sometimes be blinded by it. Though he sees himself as a sinner, Kisuke generally doesn't dwell on those thoughts and remains self-confident.

Oh, what's this?
I can't leave... How peculiar. Since I've found all the blades in America, it can't be the doing of another Muramasa in the area. This is really troublesome. My mission can't wait; there are still many blades taking over their master's minds as I speak. Besides, I shouldn't let Torahime remain alone for much longer...
Is that... An...octopus...? It looks different. What a sickly color. Must be cramped in that lake. ...Hmm. This seems like an appropriate time to test out the latest katana I retrieved and put it out of its misery. Who knows? Maybe a fisherman around here would appreciate me reeling it in for him. After all, I haven't done any fishing since I was back in Japan. I could use some sushi, too. It's been too long. --Although that donut I tried was pretty good, there's really nothing like eating food that reminds you of home.
All right! Prepare yourself, lake creature! It's nothing personal. You simply happened to be swimming in the wrong lake at the wrong time. Fight all you want, but, this certain blade won't be satisfied until it bathes in every last drop of blood you have to offer!
Ah. Who are you people?
Come again? I can't understand you. Stop groaning when you're trying to talk. ...Listen, you guys look like you haven't eaten in a very long time. So why don't you all stand back and not worry about me? I'd be happy to share my catch with you. Huh? "Brains"? What about it...? You want...brains...? The octopus' brain? I could give it to you, if that's all you guys really want. ...I get it, I get it. I won't harm the brains. No need to keep bringing it up. ......You guys must really love brains.
Don't worry and calm down. Despite there being only one, the octopus has enough brains for all of you. ...Did you not hear what I said about keeping calm?
Step aside now. For if you keep getting in my way, I'll have to try out my new blade on you, too, and then that octopus and its brains will be my dinner alone!

Character: Mireille (Mirei Kurokawa)
Series: .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet (manga)
Character Age: Appears to be in her tweens. 4 in real life.
Canon: In a series about a mind-raping video game and rogue Artificial Intelligence that threatens to bring about the end of the world, .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet (LoTB) is the black sheep of the family. It is set in the year 2014, during the idyllic golden age of the world's most popular MMORPG, aptly named The World. Forget the epic tales of best friends and love interests falling into comas - LoTB is a small-scale story centered around the (mis)adventures of Shugo and Rena, twin siblings who have been awarded the limited-edition avatars of two of The World's legendary heroes - Kite and BlackRose.
As a "Rare Hunter", a collector of unusual items, Mireille is an energetic girl who is initially drawn to Shugo and Rena by their unique player characters. As time goes on, however, she becomes a genuinely good friend to them. Much of her time playing "The World" is spent on collecting rare items, taking part in special events that could potentially yield rare items, and gathering information for the purpose of obtaining rare items. Mireille is generally composed and focused, but she becomes excited and overflows with energy when she feels she is exceptionally close to obtaining another treasure for her collection. Despite her moments of ditziness, she's certainly not an airhead - Mireille is a highly successful and accomplished Rare Hunter in spite of her young age. In real life, she is something of a prodigy and carries herself with uncommon maturity for her age, but at heart she's still just a four-year-old who cares very much for her friends.

The Rare Hunter of Love and Courage, Mireille-chan enters the area! Fufufu, it looks like nobody's here yet, which means I get to be the first one to take part in the super-secret, extra-special, limited-time only Zombie Camp Halloween Adventure Quest! I can't believe nobody's posted about this in the forums yet! It's a good thing I've been watching the dev team blogs like a hawk! No red herrings can throw the best Rare Hunters off track! First thing's first, it's info collection time! Rule of thumb for any Rare Hunter: always make sure to speak to every NPC, no matter how insignificant they look! After all, the rarest of treasures are always hidden away in places people wouldn't normally look at.
Okay... it looks like there's only three NPCs on this field. And they're all zombies, too! The detail's pretty impressive - I've never seen that kind of NPC model in the game before. The admins must have put a lot of work into this event, not recycling stuff like they did for last year's Christmas Event. This is great! Targeting the nearest Zombie, aaaand, talk command! Speak to me, potential goldmine!
"Braiiiiins", huh? This is The World's first real Halloween event, so I bet this "Brain" item's going to be a big hit! Ooooh, I better get moving and figure out how to find it! I wonder if it's a monster drop? Or maybe it's the reward item for a bigger quest! This is so exciting~! It's too bad Shugo and Rena couldn't make it today. They'll be soooo jealous when they hear about all the cool stuff they missed out on. Shugo was really looking forward to his first Halloween event, too. I even had my super-rare Pumpkin Head costume and equipment set prepared for him, just for the occasion! Ah well, I guess they'll have to settle for hearing all about it from me! Maybe I should take screencaps too, just in case. Alrighty! Off to zombie #2~! It's your turn!
Whaaaaat? "Brains" again? Is this a run-of-the-mill fetch quest? The admins aren't this straightforward most of the time. Or maybe... they're trying to use reverse psychology? This is turning out to be a really unusual event. Why would they make the info so hard to find if the rest of the quest is a cakewalk? Why would they use such detailed character models if they were going to skimp out on the meat of the quest? Zombie # 3? Pleeeeease tell me you've got more clues than the others?
More brains, huh? Thanks a lot, zombies. That's too bad, I guess the admins were swamped this year with all the weird events they planned over the summer. So, I guess it's a regular fetch quest after all. That means I'll have to engage the zombies in PvP to win the loot... That's no fun! What an anticlimactic quest!
But I shouldn't despair! Rare items are rare items, no matter how strange their origins! It's not as if this is the first time I've been disappointed by an event, and it won't be the last! I have to tough it out like a true Rare Hunter! If it's a fetch quest, I'll defeat all the zombies I can find, for the sake of the ultimate treasure!
Take this! And this! And have some of this! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
Nyaha! Jackpot! This must be the "Brain" item the NPC was talking about! The distinctive aroma of a rare item! It's a little tasteless of the admins to make it so realistic, but it'll be a great addition to my collection! Zombies, come to mama! I promise I won't hurt you~ <3

Character: Farfarello
Series: Weiss Kreuz
Character Age: 20
Canon: Four pretty-boy assassins sell flowers by day, and by night they hunt the "dark beasts" of humanity to deny them their tomorrows. These guys are members of a group called Weiss, who answer to the whims of the mysterious Kritiker organization. But for every up side there's a down side, for every white there's its negative black. Frequently opposing Weiss is the aptly named assassin group Schwarz, comprised of many psychic backstabbers. In this world, "May the Schwarz be with you" is little more than a death warrant.
Among the powerful psychics within Schwarz is Farfarello, a man with no canonly known psychic powers. What he does have is a severe hatred of God. You see, Farfarello was a devout Catholic until one day [spoilers]he learned that he was adopted and his biological mother was the nun who was his teacher. In a fit of insanity he slaughtered his parents and sister and blacked out[spoilers]. Afterward he was led to believe that thieves were the culprit and God had victimized him for letting this happen. Since then the death of God has been his greatest desire. Anything that causes God pain, really. Farfarello's twisted logic leads him to commit crimes like torturing priests with acid he dubs "holy water" and desecrating the bodies of others, as well as his own, with knives (his inability to feel pain only makes this more twisted). In Schwarz, Farfarello is the lunatic who shows no fear and is always ready to kill on command. As a person, he's not very talkative and comes off as relatively calm even when he's completely batshit inside. He's so insane that he seems completely sane. Anyone would want revenge against whoever'd wronged their family. He just... takes it to a frightening extreme.

Gather round, followers of the southern death cult of Camp Fuck You Die. I know not your purpose, only your current state. Your dripping, rotting faces and bodies. It's obvious you are an army of abominations cultivated through your leader's occult whims. I might have had nothing against you and would let you continue with your practices. However, look at what you are. It's detestable. You tried to rise from the dead just like He did! Humans only have one life to live. It matters not that you're only the followers, you're still guilty to the bone. Today, before you're on your last limbs, let your minds become diseased with perverted justice.
You over there. Tie up your leader and bring him here.
Ah, a gorilla posing as a man of the cloth. How fitting. As a beast playing a priest, you are the same as a man attempting to play God. Hey Father, the power you invoked doesn't belong to you. What made you think you had the right to perform mass resurrection? Look at them. Your people can barely take up their own arms and fight. It serves them right to suffer an endless decay. As for you, you're a fool. One who got off easy. Have you no words to defend yourself? You're so quiet. If you won't talk, I'll make you talk.
Here. This water comes from the burning pond where Mother Superior appears to reside. It has been blessed by one of your fellow clergymen; his cloth wasn't nearly as decayed as yours. The green color of the water was already present, I hear. Perhaps it's due to Mother Superior's influence. It might serve as proof that she is unclean. Her actions definitely invoke His wrath. What Mother Marcy does to poor young boys, luring them to the shore so she can trap them in her arms and desecrate their bodies in ways that seem out of a horror movie or a nightmare. What a test. The power of religion and how well it can purify the waters that house such a sinful being. Let's test it out on you. A few drops first.
Your scream wasn't that of a righteous gorilla of the cloth. It was of a sinner. Where is your God now?

Character: Blair
Series: Soul Eater
Character Age: She's a cat, so it's rather unclear. Physically, she's late teens-ish
Canon: Soul Eater takes place in a world much like our own, except that souls are tangible, some people have magic, and others can transform into weaponry. The goal of all weapons (and the technicians who use them) is to consume 99 corrupt souls and the soul of a witch in order to grow into the weapon of Death himself - called a Death Scythe. Despite an unfortunate situation in which the protagonists Soul and Maka mistook her for a witch and tried to take her soul, Blair - a cat with powerful magic and the ability to take human form - decided she liked the two of them anyway and moved in as Maka's pet.
Much of Blair's personality comes directly from the fact that she is a cat. She's very independent and prone to going off and doing her own thing, and she is confident: As a cat, she's confident in her magic, and as a human, she's confident in her looks and aware of how she can use them to her advantage: Blair knows she's cute and plays that up (like occasionally referring to herself in the third person, for one). She is curious, inquisitive, and capricious because above all else, she hates to be bored. She'll go to great lengths to get people to “play” with her - the boobsquish being her method of choice - and if her lack of consideration for what others are doing seems selfish or self-centered, it's because ... it is. Blair is constantly in search of things that interest her, even at the expense of others. But despite that, there is genuine affection deep down in her kitty heart for certain people. If you try to threaten those she does care for, you're in for one hell of a catfight.

Nya... this isn't fair at all! If the signs all say “Camp Seafood,” then there should be seafood! But there isn't any, it's just a dirty cafeteria with smelly, smelly food! Blair thinks she's lost her appetite... And even if there's water everywhere you look, there aren't any tasty fish there, either! It's so dirty and gross, it's for little filthy rats to swim around in, not for cats like Blair to use for their nice, warm bubble baths.
And even if there are fishes in the lake, it would make you sick if you ate them! It's no fun to have little fishies if you can't eat them. This place feels so bor~ing... Blair misses having good places to shop! The only things in that tiny little store are ugly hats and T-shirts that wouldn't look good at all! There aren't any new jackets or cute new boots, and the only underwear around here is out on that weird tree, and none of it's even the tiniest bit cute! “Marcy's Secret,” blech! That's the worst sense of fashion in a tree that Blair's ever seen. Who would ever wear a shirt like this that doesn't show off anything at all, and doesn't have any cute frilly lace to make up for it? Oh... maybe if I shrunk it down a bit, it would look okay? No, that's no good, it'd still be so plain and Blair doesn't know how to sew, either...
Mm, though... I guess there's a reason nobody's buying all these stupid dull clothes. There are some very interesting-looking people, and you wouldn't see any of them back in Death City, nya! Their hair and outfits are almost as cute as Blair's are! Even if the rest of the place is all boring, Blair could still have fun with them. Oh, oh, they could never resist someone as lovely and won~der~ful as me ♥ Mm... and when you think about it, the weird gorillas with the strange purple fur could use some advice, right? They just drag people out of bed to wake them up; that just makes everybody angry! Nyaha, Blair could do a much better job of waking everybody up in the morning. It'd be much more pleasant for everybody involved~
Hmm? Somebody is coming over here... are they new? Who are you, nya? Have you come to admire such a beautiful lady? It's okay, don't worry, Blair is used to the attention ♥ Even if you are dirty and smell like three-week-old fish, you can still appreciate when someone is cute and sexy~ But... you aren't really Blair's type. She likes cute boys, whose skin isn't saggy and old-looking, and who have all their teeth. So even though you can look all you want, you really shouldn't try to touch.
Oh, you want your friends to come over to meet me, too? That's fine! As long as you tell them they can't touch either; not if they're as ugly as you! Nya... so many people are coming to see Blair, how exciting! ...sigh, but they all look as bad as their friend. What good is having all of those people when none of them are nice to look at?
Blair hates being bored...
