Character: Ion Fortuna
Series: Trinity Blood
Character Age: Appears to be around 12 or so, when he's actually the same age as him. Yes, really.
Canon: In the distant future of Trinity Blood, the world has become a very different place. The Vatican started ordaining robots and made stiletto heels a requisite part of their nuns' habits, and the technology level has become schizophrenic with advanced computerized weapons of mass destruction somehow competing for relevance with swords. Most of earth's history has been lost. This is the world that humans share uneasily with a race of vampires called Methuselah. The apocalypse turned out to be a pretty mixed bag that way.
Ion Fortuna is a loyal noble of the New Human Empire--the only nation where humans and Methuselah coexist--and his privileged upbringing is reflected in his voice, which can wander between relatively formal and rude, but maintains an air of superiority. Ion is stubborn, proud, temperamental (read: tsundere) and sometimes a bit of a brat. Or a lot of a brat. He's also straightforward, determined and willing to die for the people he cares about. You know, manly traits. Because Ion is a man, and is as manly as he can be when he's stuck in a pubescent body and pretty as a girl. At first, Ion showed only disdain for humans, but after being betrayed by his best friend he found himself depending on some of them. Eventually, he comes to appreciate them as people. He even wishes to protect them from the "vampires" who give Methuselah a bad name through their lack of honor and exploitation.
Sample Entry:
Unhand me immediately, bastard! Who said I needed to be carried? My own legs are more than strong enough. What's more, I am a noble of the Empire and a representative of the--the--I said, put me down! I will not stand for the disgrace of being mothered, least of all by some out-sized, ridiculously colored ape. I don't care what some idiot gorilla on the news did! I am an adult, and I will not be babied. And if you "pretty Ion" at me one more time, you will regret the insult!
I will not be laughed at, either. I am serious! Get away from me. And don't even think about giving me that pathetic look; if you had strange ideas, that was your fault. I tried to explain. You were the one who was unreasonable, what with your delusions of pulling off some "heroic gorilla saves lost child" fantasy. Find someone who's actually lost next time, or better yet, actually a child. I am not a child, and I am most certainly not lost. Of course, I know where I am. I'm right...
Are there no road signs in this backward, barbaric place? I can't believe any of this. This whole situation, this whole place is impossible! I couldn't have become lost while on Empire business, and I would not have if it weren't for you. Yes, you. Do you see any other idiot purple gorillas here with misplaced maternal desires? Don't try to play innocent. I don't believe it for a second. Just stay out of my way while I get my bearings. I can sort this out. If this is the path you carried me in on, then it must lead back to the highway, and--that isn't right. I just came from that way, I'm sure of it, but there weren't vines here before...
No, I don't need your help. You've already helped more than enough. What I need is to find my way back to the road so I can continue on my business. That is of the utmost importance right now. I don't have time to play with you, and I wouldn't even if I did. And don't even dare to pretend not to know why. I don't need carrying, or holding, or cooing at that is the most obnoxious part, actually, or any of the rest of it. I don't want a nap, and I don't... Excuse me? A better idea?
No, I didn't hear about Koko and the kitten, but I think I know where this is going. That is not a better idea.

Character: Meg
Series: Bakuretsu Tenshi
Age: around 15-16
Canon: Future, dystopian Tokyo! Everyone's got a gun, big swaths of the city are half-destroyed and lawless thanks to a massive earthquake, and the police are privately run and brutal as Hell. Crime, unsurprisingly, is running rampant. Bakuretsu Tenshi is about four quirky young women knee-deep in this future Tokyo's seamy underbelly, working for the local franchise of a Chinese mafia organization. Eventually, they stumble into a conspiracy involving the private police, a pharmaceutical company, and genetically-engineered glowing brains that power mechs. Things get progressively weirder from there.
Meg is one of our lead quartet. An orphan who was abandoned by her parents on the mean streets of New York, Meg knows what it's like to have to struggle and steal to survive. As a result, her philosophy of life is very rooted in the here-and-now--"eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we may die" is basically her motto. When Meg's not having a good time, though, she's usually really not having a good time; she's prone to grumpiness and loud, emphatic complaining if things aren't going her way. It's worth noting, however, that Meg's complaining is often justified, as she has an uncanny predisposition towards getting kidnapped. This somehow happens with almost every enemy the team faces and is even remarked upon by her partner, Jo, the team's badass gunslinger and Meg's usual rescuer. Meg has a huuuuge thing for Jo, and her main reason for even being in the quartet is simply to stay at Jo's side. Alas, that's a little rough on Meg, as she lacks both her partner's prowess and her aplomb in the face of the weirder threats they come up against.

Oh, what the Hell. Where am I now?! That creepy abandoned warehouse was bad enough, okay, what am I doing out in the middle of nowhere all of a sudden? Think back, Meg, think back. I don't remember anyone coming at me with needles. No bump on my head, so that means no pistolwhipping. Geez, if they did drug me, it must've been pretty powerful to make me forget so much! If there're any side effects, I swear--oh. Oh no, there are. It's making me hallucinate that there're zombies everywhere! Aaaaagh, go away, you're not real, and I'm already scared enough! This, this is just piling on! So hurry up and disa--ah--I. I-I touched one. They're real. They're real and I've got zombie stuff on my hand, gross! How could a bunch of random Tokyo thugs have zombies backing them up, anyway? This doesn't make any sense, unless...no way. I've been re-kidnapped by someone else! That's, come on, that's got to be against the rules. Can't you let a girl get rescued first?! Whoever's behind this one has gotta be a serious freak, and an impatient freak at that!
Oh crap, speaking of impatient, a-ahahahahaha...look, guys? Zombie guys? You don't want my brains, trust me. They're--they're not that high-quality! I've never really gone to school or anything! Plus, if you let me go, I can hook you guys up with some way better brains. Brains that glow! I bet that stuff'll fuck you up real good--that sound cool to you guys? First one's on the house! Just let me step over here and talk to my brain guy real quick haha just kidding bye! ...Whew. Okay, zombies can't run, so that's reassuring, at least. Except, in the movies, they usually just overwhelm people when they get tired or end up alone, right? ...I-I wanna go home. This place is scary and it smells like something died! I'd take the Tokyo thugs over this!
Speaking of Tokyo, this...doesn't look like anywhere near Tokyo. Let's see what my phone's GPS says. ..."Hah hah, you're fucked?" Oh, thanks a lot, you stupid piece of junk! Okay, okay, pull it together, Meg! You're who-knows-where and Jo's not here to help this time. You're gonna have to get yourself out of this one! You can do it--show everyone you don't always need saving. First step...aha, this lake! Getting some drinking water would be a good idea, in case it's a long walk back to civilization. Wait, what's that moving under the--kyaaaa! Put me down put me down put me down! W-Why me, huh? This isn't even the first time I've been grabbed by a squid--h-hey, where's that going?! SOMEONE, HELP! Cute girl in danger of having an out-of-species experience over here!

Character: Sakigami Toto
Series: Deadman Wonderland
Character Age: teenagery
Canon: Ganta Igarashi has had a really hard year. First all of his classmates are slaughtered in front of him, then he's pinned with their murder and sent to a crazy prison which doubles as a tourist attraction. And after that it turns out that he's been "infected" with something called the nameless worm that makes him a "deadman." If that isn't fun enough, Ganta finds out that these deadmen face each other in a tournament called the Carnival Corpse, where the loser of the fight has to sacrifice a body part ... for science. As an added bonus it seems that everyone around him is insane, to some degree or another.
Toto is one of these crazy deadmen. He used to be really battle crazy, but since he won the last Carnival Corpse and went AWOL, he's not only mellowed out but gone a little loopy. Toto might pass for youthful and chipper, for a few seconds, but it becomes apparent very quickly that there are more than a few screws loose upstairs. He has a tendency to speak in metaphor ("the little birds are fluttering around terrified and in fear") instead of being direct (all the prisoners are scared out of their minds) and use an abundance of ☆s. His overuse of "love" in his speech might imply that he's soft hearted, but when he says "Accept my love ☆" you might want to be a little cautious.
Note: Several of Toto's bodyparts have been stitched back on and sometimes tear off after vigorous use :(b

I want your love ☆!
... was that not the right thing to say, after all? I don't really want to complain too much, Marcy-chan, but I've been waiting a while to see you. I'm not really suited to long distance lovers, see ☆ . But I was told that you had enough love to fill everyone to the brim! So many of the little birds back home have such bad stamina. Ah~ha! And even those who can hold out a little longer ... their hands get really tired. What was I saying ... oh, right! Because Marcy-chan has such a good reputation, I wanted to meet you! I thought we could share something special ☆.
It was kind of difficult to get here, you know? Maybe Marcy-chan doesn't get out a lot, ah~ha, but at least you're always wet when people go back to you ☆. But I'll tell you, because an exchange of information brings two people closer together~. This place, this Camp Fuck You Die, is really different from Deadman Wonderland. Ah, it might be easier to say that this is outside ... and that was inside! You would think it would be more crowded there, with everyone jammed inside but when people kill each other it keeps the boys from touching ☆.
It's even harder, here. I meant to say, it would be harder to keep people from touching. The ones who should be dead, the zombies, they're walking around looking for someone to accept their love. I had to say no, aimless love like that doesn't interest me. And neither does one-sided love ☆ so I made the toucans stop talking. It was so much work I thought it might tear from that much movement ...
But in the end I got here, so isn't that enough, Marcy-chan? Ah~ha! I don't really want your tentacles, I just want your love ... Oh, oh, ooh. It seems Marcy-chan and I are caught in a bad romance ☆.

Character: Alice Cullen
Series: The Twilight Saga
Character Age: Physically 19, technically ~106
Canon: Twilight is a classic tale of vampire love in the shadows - mostly because if the leading man steps into the sunlight, he looks like a disco ball. Edward Cullen and Bella Swan's interspecies affair survives high school drama, feuding werewolves, and vampire civil war in large part due to the support and skills of Edward's close-knit vampire family. The Cullens have isolated themselves from most of their kind, living as "vegetarians" and dining only on wild animals instead of humans.
Alice is the only one of the Cullen "children" to join up on her own: one day in the mid 20th century she knocked at their front door and politely explained that she (and her lover Jasper, only recently persuaded that eating people was bad) would be a part of the family from then on. You see, Alice is a prescient who usually lives with one fashionably-shod foot in the future. Optimistic, pixie-like, confident and mischievous, Alice likes to tease and can be very playful. Although in general she's friendly and easy-going, she also tends to ignore other people's opinions and do things her own way - usually for the best, but sometimes just because she thinks her idea is more fun. Underneath this care-free attitude, however, is a fierce dedication to and love for her adopted family. She will do anything for them. And if she gets a yellow Porsche or the chance to give someone a make-over out of the deal, so much the better.
Sample Post:
So this is Camp Fuck You Die! While I do question the taste of that name, it does have a certain quality about it... It's so... Atmospheric! And the swamp really does complete the scene, as it's thoroughly unpleasant. I must admit that I would have appreciated just a little bit more warning, though! I barely had time to pack properly, and that would have been tragic in several senses of the word. As it is, I've got just enough to pass muster - and I can't imagine how awful it must be to arrive here with no warning at all! If it wasn't for certain unnatural abilities and a practical pair of shoes I might be in real trouble with this muck. And please, don't even mention the fine dining I ran into back there - purple, really? I know I'll get used to it, but it won't be right away.
Relatively well prepared or not, there are more than a few little blank spots niggling at the back of my mind, and I really don't like being taken by surprise. It's very inconvenient! Of course, my overall impression of this so-called camp is, to begin with, one of extreme inconvenience from start to end. The lack of an exit strategy certainly comes to mind. Still, there is a lot of potential here. Almost too much - I'm going to get a headache if everyone keeps making such split-second decisions! As for the zombies, well. I can see they won't be too much trouble, but I do have a few concerns. Seeing the future, while extremely useful, can only tell me so much. It's best to meet with them now and have a real look at what I'm dealing with. ...Right now, in fact.
Hmm. There're not very responsive, are they. If I do keep trying, it will all just come back to brains! Though the 'why' is a little bit unclear - something that I'm sure will become quite irritating in the days to come. And the smell really is terrible. Even I don't understand what Miss Sayre sees in them, other than as a sort of macabre decor. But since a certain lady will insist on changing her mind so very often, perhaps in time something will present itself.
And meanwhile, being dead is no excuse for being shabby, and I ought to know! I suppose I could give out a little advice, since I'm here already. I'll start with the gentleman on the right - while that might have been a very nice Armani suit at some point in the distant past, it really is time to lay it to rest, so to speak. There's vintage and then there's vintage.

Character: Jasper Hale
Series: The Twilight Saga
Character Age: Physically 20, technically around 144
Canon: Twilight is the love story of Edward Cullen, socially awkward vampire and professional virgin, and Bella Swan, a human girl who's a little too fond of Wuthering Heights. Luckily for everyone involved the rest of Edward's vampire family are much more competent. Brought together and led by Dr. Carlisle Cullen, they are a family of “vegetarian” vampires, who abstain from eating humans, though they never say no to the occasional mountain lion.
Jasper Hale is the most recent convert to the lifestyle, and he sometimes needs reminding not to eat the humans. He's still adjusting to his new life with the Cullens- his past life was far from pleasant. He was a soldier forcibly turned and recruited into a vampire army where he trained and disposed of newborn vampires, and spent years after as a nomad. Jasper still feels somewhat isolated and guilty about his past transgressions, considering himself the weakest link of his family. Despite these insecurities he’s a strong and adept fighter who is completely devoted to his wife and soul mate Alice, and thus the entire Cullen clan. He is also an empath, able to sense and influence the emotions of the people around him. Although he's usually standoffish and reserved, especially around strangers, he was a charismatic and talented leader as a human. He hasn't entirely lost that skill, and it shows in his calculated dealings with other vampires and anyone that would hurt his family. And despite his seriousness and strategic nature, he's not completely devoid of a sense of humor.
Sample Post:
Camp Fuck You Die? How, ah, pleasant. Really, with a name like that it’s no wonder this place is such an emotional mess. It's actually not unlike a high school - disturbing, given its location. Hormones run rampant, depression, high anxiety - but there’s something unusual here as well. It’s not quite human, but that’s not the intriguing part. The emotion is almost dampened somehow, and it’s so uniform- as if the ones thinking it barely have minds of their own. This is too suspicious to not investigate, and with this strong of a signal they’re practically inviting me to find them. Not to mention the smell, which is equally traceable... If rather uninviting. Whatever they are, they’re certainly not on my menu.
Ah, so I see. It turns out that they're zombies. I can't decide if that is better or worse than I feared. It does explain the apparently lessened mind, and the sheer magnitude of them explains the emotional strength. You know, with this many zombies, it’s almost as if someone's creating an army. A powerful one, and that is a problem. I’ve had enough experience with armies of the undead to know that a war involving one never ends well. The real question remains: Who’s in charge? Someone must be the brains of this operation, as it is certainly not any of-
I seem to have confused them - that was not an offer to fill the position, nor was it encouragement! If they’re set on going to war, I certainly want no part in it. I’ve had enough of war. The only fighting I do now is to protect my family. I understand the desire for power and status - but apparently they just want brains. They could certainly use them. Ideally, in the manner which God intended. Well that’s still no reason to go to war. I’d like to radiate body heat, but that just isn’t happening. They’ll regret a war over anything so trivial. I can promise them that. ...I seem to be fighting a losing battle here, so let’s try something different. A nice dose of contentment would serve them well. Evidently, life's not more painless for the brainless
The emotional environment as a whole feels much better now. I can pick up more individual signals since the zombies have calmed down. Though the sexual repression is now even more pronounced, practically overwhelming. But considering the name of the camp, rather inexplicable. You’d think with a name like that - unless I misread the sign? No, that’s definitely what it says. Along with the rules of this place… That explains it. If the zombies had wanted to go to war over this, it might be more understandable. Until then, I suppose my exercises in self-restraint will come in handy in more ways than one. I'd rather not break a rule- or eat a fellow camper.

Most of earth's history has been lost. This is the world that humans share uneasily with a race of vampires called Methuselah. The apocalypse turned out to be a pretty mixed bag that way.
Ion Fortuna is a loyal noble of the New Human Empire--the only nation where humans and Methuselah coexist--and his privileged upbringing is reflected in his voice, which can wander between relatively formal and rude, but maintains an air of superiority. Ion is stubborn, proud, temperamental (read: tsundere) and sometimes a bit of a brat. Or a lot of a brat. He's also straightforward, determined and willing to die for the people he cares about. You know, manly traits. Because Ion is a man, and is as manly as he can be when he's stuck in a pubescent body and pretty as a girl. At first, Ion showed only disdain for humans, but after being betrayed by his best friend he found himself depending on some of them. Eventually, he comes to appreciate them as people. He even wishes to protect them from the "vampires" who give Methuselah a bad name through their lack of honor and exploitation.

Alice is the only one of the Cullen "children" to join up on her own: one day in the mid 20th century she knocked at their front door and politely explained that she (and her lover Jasper, only recently persuaded that eating people was bad) would be a part of the family from then on. You see, Alice is a prescient who usually lives with one fashionably-shod foot in the future. Optimistic, pixie-like, confident and mischievous, Alice likes to tease and can be very playful. Although in general she's friendly and easy-going, she also tends to ignore other people's opinions and do things her own way - usually for the best, but sometimes just because she thinks her idea is more fun. Underneath this care-free attitude, however, is a fierce dedication to and love for her adopted family. She will do anything for them. And if she gets a yellow Porsche or the chance to give someone a make-over out of the deal, so much the better.

So this is Camp Fuck You Die! While I do question the taste of that name, it does have a certain quality about it... It's so... Atmospheric! And the swamp really does complete the scene, as it's thoroughly unpleasant. I must admit that I would have appreciated just a little bit more warning, though! I barely had time to pack properly, and that would have been tragic in several senses of the word. As it is, I've got just enough to pass muster - and I can't imagine how awful it must be to arrive here with no warning at all! If it wasn't for certain unnatural abilities and a practical pair of shoes I might be in real trouble with this muck. And please, don't even mention the fine dining I ran into back there - purple, really? I know I'll get used to it, but it won't be right away.
Relatively well prepared or not, there are more than a few little blank spots niggling at the back of my mind, and I really don't like being taken by surprise. It's very inconvenient! Of course, my overall impression of this so-called camp is, to begin with, one of extreme inconvenience from start to end. The lack of an exit strategy certainly comes to mind. Still, there is a lot of potential here. Almost too much - I'm going to get a headache if everyone keeps making such split-second decisions! As for the zombies, well. I can see they won't be too much trouble, but I do have a few concerns. Seeing the future, while extremely useful, can only tell me so much. It's best to meet with them now and have a real look at what I'm dealing with. ...Right now, in fact.
Hmm. There're not very responsive, are they. If I do keep trying, it will all just come back to brains! Though the 'why' is a little bit unclear - something that I'm sure will become quite irritating in the days to come. And the smell really is terrible. Even I don't understand what Miss Sayre sees in them, other than as a sort of macabre decor. But since a certain lady will insist on changing her mind so very often, perhaps in time something will present itself.
And meanwhile, being dead is no excuse for being shabby, and I ought to know! I suppose I could give out a little advice, since I'm here already. I'll start with the gentleman on the right - while that might have been a very nice Armani suit at some point in the distant past, it really is time to lay it to rest, so to speak. There's vintage and then there's vintage.

Character: Jasper Hale
Series: The Twilight Saga
Character Age: Physically 20, technically around 144
Canon: Twilight is the love story of Edward Cullen, socially awkward vampire and professional virgin, and Bella Swan, a human girl who's a little too fond of Wuthering Heights. Luckily for everyone involved the rest of Edward's vampire family are much more competent. Brought together and led by Dr. Carlisle Cullen, they are a family of “vegetarian” vampires, who abstain from eating humans, though they never say no to the occasional mountain lion.
Jasper Hale is the most recent convert to the lifestyle, and he sometimes needs reminding not to eat the humans. He's still adjusting to his new life with the Cullens- his past life was far from pleasant. He was a soldier forcibly turned and recruited into a vampire army where he trained and disposed of newborn vampires, and spent years after as a nomad. Jasper still feels somewhat isolated and guilty about his past transgressions, considering himself the weakest link of his family. Despite these insecurities he’s a strong and adept fighter who is completely devoted to his wife and soul mate Alice, and thus the entire Cullen clan. He is also an empath, able to sense and influence the emotions of the people around him. Although he's usually standoffish and reserved, especially around strangers, he was a charismatic and talented leader as a human. He hasn't entirely lost that skill, and it shows in his calculated dealings with other vampires and anyone that would hurt his family. And despite his seriousness and strategic nature, he's not completely devoid of a sense of humor.

Camp Fuck You Die? How, ah, pleasant. Really, with a name like that it’s no wonder this place is such an emotional mess. It's actually not unlike a high school - disturbing, given its location. Hormones run rampant, depression, high anxiety - but there’s something unusual here as well. It’s not quite human, but that’s not the intriguing part. The emotion is almost dampened somehow, and it’s so uniform- as if the ones thinking it barely have minds of their own. This is too suspicious to not investigate, and with this strong of a signal they’re practically inviting me to find them. Not to mention the smell, which is equally traceable... If rather uninviting. Whatever they are, they’re certainly not on my menu.
Ah, so I see. It turns out that they're zombies. I can't decide if that is better or worse than I feared. It does explain the apparently lessened mind, and the sheer magnitude of them explains the emotional strength. You know, with this many zombies, it’s almost as if someone's creating an army. A powerful one, and that is a problem. I’ve had enough experience with armies of the undead to know that a war involving one never ends well. The real question remains: Who’s in charge? Someone must be the brains of this operation, as it is certainly not any of-
I seem to have confused them - that was not an offer to fill the position, nor was it encouragement! If they’re set on going to war, I certainly want no part in it. I’ve had enough of war. The only fighting I do now is to protect my family. I understand the desire for power and status - but apparently they just want brains. They could certainly use them. Ideally, in the manner which God intended. Well that’s still no reason to go to war. I’d like to radiate body heat, but that just isn’t happening. They’ll regret a war over anything so trivial. I can promise them that. ...I seem to be fighting a losing battle here, so let’s try something different. A nice dose of contentment would serve them well. Evidently, life's not more painless for the brainless
The emotional environment as a whole feels much better now. I can pick up more individual signals since the zombies have calmed down. Though the sexual repression is now even more pronounced, practically overwhelming. But considering the name of the camp, rather inexplicable. You’d think with a name like that - unless I misread the sign? No, that’s definitely what it says. Along with the rules of this place… That explains it. If the zombies had wanted to go to war over this, it might be more understandable. Until then, I suppose my exercises in self-restraint will come in handy in more ways than one. I'd rather not break a rule- or eat a fellow camper.
