Character: Thalia Grace
Series: Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Character Age: 15 immortally

Canon: Most people think dyslexia and ADHD are just genetic disorders. For Percy Jackson, that's mostly true. If you consider being half-god and half-human a genetic disorder. Percy's fate will take him on an epic quest to become a true hero. But first, he must settle an ancient prophecy, discover the truth about his father, battle mythological monsters and hopefully manage to stay in a school for more than a year.

THIS APP CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS.

Percy's adventures also include the restoration of Thalia, daughter of Zeus. Thalia spent a chunk of her life as a pine tree after her father transformed her to save her life. Following a quest, Thalia eventually joins Artemis and her Hunters forever in order to subvert her part in the prophecy. Possessing a punkish style, Thalia is a fierce fighter with a sharp attitude and also completely willing to sacrifice her life for others. She's often described as similar to Percy in their snappy personalities and strong will. Thalia is also extremely determined and a natural leader.
Note: The Mist disguises mythological elements from regular humans.

Whose idea was it to start a Wild Kraken Preserve? When you've spent months tracking a beast, the last thing you want is to be picketed with signs talking about monster rights. I support the ethical treatment of animals when they don't hunt down the innocent. Although looking at those pictures of smiling kraken with whiskers and cat ears, I think I see why you're confused. Maybe something in that lake is messing with the Mist. Sea kitten? You'd have better luck trying to cuddle the Nemean Lion.

Listen, the thing in that lake doesn't belong on the endangered species list. It can't even really die. It just shows up somewhere else eventually. I'm not sure if it can breed either, but I try not to think about that. I have enough nightmares without adding that one. But it can and will kill you if you keep getting close to it. Just like those fire-breathing horses you're confusing with My Little Ponies. They might be colorful, but they're also the reason I'm going to be cleaning scorch and hoof marks off my shield for the next few days. But unlike Augeas' man-eating herd, their buck is worse than their bite. Oh, don't try looking for them later. Fire and lightning don't mix.

And enough with the fragile ecosystem. It can take care of itself. Literally. I just finished resisting the advances of a willow tree. You'd think a dryad would recognize one of Artemis' Huntresses. If he'd have just let go the first time I asked, I wouldn't have used my spear. He'll have some trouble catching unsuspecting maidens from now on. Also, being told you smell as sweet as pine, not a compliment. I thought boys had bad come-ons. Anyway, trust me when I say your environment can handle this.

So step away slowly from... Marcy? Um, ok, step away from Marcy. Thanks. That was a close one. She was just about to...

... The whiskers and cat ears weren't just the Mist.

Character: Franziska von Karma
Series: the Ace Attorney series
Character Age: 19

Canon: Once upon a time, there was the eerily perfect prosecutor, Manfred von Karma. He may be gone now, but his legacy hangs over the prosecutors' offices, and two of his students have since risen to preeminence: one being Miles Edgeworth, and the other being Manfred's daughter Franziska. Franziska studied hard to be a good little prosecutor just like her daddy, and soon rose to genius status, passing her bar exam at the extraordinarily young age of 13. She maintained a strong case of von Karma-brand Perfection until she came to get revenge on Phoenix Wright, not aware that he was in fact the Main Character with a Heart of Gold and she was more or less doomed. Still she has persevered, by mercilessly whipping anyone who opposes her in or out of court, and using the word "fool" more than anyone has ever before thought possible. ...Okay, she'd be doing that no matter what her record was. She's always been overconfident and a pompous perfectionist, someone who takes everything seriously and throws a fit when she doesn't get her way. But she IS competent, and in the latest game, she's been tracking down a smuggling ring in conjunction with Interpol.

Sample Post:

Very well. Court is now in session.

-Fools! Do you dare defy the words and whip of a von Karma? I am in charge of the courtroom here. The judge's job is merely to pass down the inevitable verdict of "Guilty!" We shall commence the trial when and how I see fit. After all, I am the one with the evidence that will perfectly prove my prosecutorial point. But for the benefit of these foolish fools who foolishly believe in the defendant's innocence, I shall elaborate upon the case in full.

Local resident and employee Mr. Brian O'Brien was making his rounds yesterday in the vicinity of the Caves of Despair. According to reports, he was shot with one of the standard-issue Camp shotguns... 34 separate times throughout the day, in fact. Shortly after his thirty-second murder, the following photographs were taken. Please ignore the gory remains of his decapitated head, and direct your attention to the upper-right corner...

Objection! The details of Mr. O'Brien's murders are irrelevant! You are making him out to be the victim, when he is the defendant in this case. Such casualties come hand-in-hand with his profession, or hand-in-severed-hand, as the case may often be. Documents procured from the moogles prove that his murders were perfectly standard, and as my interpreter has informed me, Mr. O'Brien himself testified that yesterday was a slow day in comparison to the day before, where he died 76 times. Rather, if we are to address the circumstances of his murder, the more pertinent question may be: Where was the defendant when he should have been foolishly challenging the fools who live in this foolish camp?

The answer is in the evidence! As you can see, hidden away in the Caves of Despair, within Mr. O'Brien's personal quarters, is a large stash of hair scrunchies! I may spend most of my time prosecuting in Germany, but I have extensively researched CFUD law for this case, and it is common knowledge that scrunchies are illegal to import. A native resident should know this best of all. For the defendant to possess such a large quantity of contraband goods... I think it's perfectly clear that he was attempting to smuggle in banned items and distribute them through underground channels! Mr. O'Brien... is nothing more than a criminal!

Your Honor! I see no reason for you to delay your verdict further. The evidence is solid, and there is only one punishment suited to breaking express CFUD law. Merely speak the word "Guilty," and we shall see this fool rightfully sentenced. And if he attempts to continue his illegal actions as an adorable foolish zombie kitten... he will taste my whip of justice as many times as necessary!

Name: Haruka Tenoh
Age: 17
Series: Sailor Moon (manga)

Canon: When the forces of evil decide to invade Earth, there's only one girl who can save the day: the pretty soldier in a miniskirt, Sailor Moon. With the help of her friends, the Sailor Team, she stops the forces of evil from taking over her planet time and time again. It's not an easy life for a Sailor Soldier, though. Sailor Moon, or Usagi Tsukino as the normal world knows her, can barely fit in enough time to fix her hair in the morning without confronting a new enemy. Things start getting even more complicated when a pair of mysterious new Sailor Soldiers arrive on the scene, with little hint as to their true intentions. Their arrival is accompanied by the transfer of two stunningly beautiful Infinity College students: Michiru Kaioh, the world-famous violinist, and Haruka Tenoh, the F1 test driver. They possess a variety of talents between the two of them, but underneath their elegant facade are two proud and mysterious Sailor Soldiers of the Outer Solar System: Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus.

Haruka Tenoh (Sailor Uranus) first appears as an athletic and handsome young man, and it becomes clear as the series progresses that she has a knack for blurring the lines between masculine and feminine. She is best known for her charisma and tendency to flirt whenever pretty girls are nearby. She's also determined and protective to the point of self-sacrifice, though she'd rather come across as uninvested. Like her close companion and lover Michiru, Haruka is dedicated to her cause and willing to do almost anything for it, even if it means walking the lonely road. She is strong, both physically and emotionally, and is often admired for it by the younger Sailor Soldiers. Along with talents such as martial arts, motorcycle, and race car driving, Haruka also has the unique ability to "read" the wind (as it is her element).

You know, there's a lot I could say right now. But from what I understand, an audience with you is worth quite a lot, so maybe I should save the small talk for later. Elizabeth, right? What a cute name. I'll make this worth your while, Elizabeth. Now, it sounds to me like you've got more than enough time on your hands (even with all this mayhem - that's quite an accomplishment!). Not that I mean any disrespect to all your hard work with this place, but teenagers fleeing in terror from the lake monster is kind of hard to miss. So, if you lend me an ear - not literally, but thank you for the offer - you've got nothing to lose, and I get to be in the presence of a charming lady for a while longer. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

First things first: let's not be unreasonable. A dominating personality can be attractive, but don't you think this is going overboard? What's so special that you need all this elaborate security, way out in the middle of nowhere? These crazy monsters - no, not you, you're as pretty as ever - that giant invisible barrier... I can't help but wonder why you're so scared. Hey, don't be embarrassed, we're all afraid of something. I used to be afraid that I wouldn't be able to protect the ones I love, but once I found my true strength, I could do almost anything - even protect beautiful girls like you, if you'd let me. Heh, maybe that's second-date material? Alright, alright. Then let me ask this instead: if you're trying to protect these kids from whatever's threatening you, why not treat them with a little more dignity? They deserve it, after these nasty surprises waiting for them around every corner. Now, I don't exactly mind saving cute girls in distress, but no one wants to go for a midnight dip and end up with a visitor that's the wrong sort of friendly. Do you get what I mean? If it's the kind of thing where they have to live in fear or else their lives will be in greater danger, then I can respect that on some level. Believe me, I know what a great responsibility protecting someone you care about can be like. Why don't you tell me more about that, hmm? It takes quite a woman to accomplish this much, so I'm sure you must have something important to hide...

--That is, someone very important to you that you need to save, right? No? Come on, there has to be something. Hey now, no need to get upset and throw your ears on the ground. I hate to be frank, but you're really not pulling off this Director-impersonation well. Guess I should have expected that from a zombie, right? Look, I'm just playing along, it's not my fault you didn't do your homework. Learn that as a lesson for next time, okay? If you can't give me my info, then I can't give you your date. You agreed that was the deal. --Come on, there's no need to cry, I just meant - oi! Alright, I've had enough of this. Making me pretend to be your boyfriend is one thing, but once you start slinging pond scum at my bike, you've crossed a line. The wind didn't predict anything like this!

Character: Kaioh Michiru
Character Age: 17
Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (Manga)

Canon: Striking gold with the now time-honored classic of young girls in unconventional costumes fighting evil while worrying about guys and school, Sailor Moon is the tale of one crybaby turned super-powered heroine of love and justice. Usagi, also known as the titular Sailor Moon, manages to gather together a fierce albeit diverse team while defeating enemies from the past, present, and future. However, she runs into more trouble than just the enemy of the day in the third arc-The appearance of a mysterious team that refuses to ally with her and operate on their own agenda. In due time, they are won over and join the rest of the team in protecting the planet and their princess.

As the soldier of the seas, Michiru, also known as Sailor Neptune, is a fierce opponent in more ways than one. Clever, quick-witted, and more than a little mysterious, she plays all of her cards close to her vest and never shows her full hand, and she is quick with her hands as world-renowned violinist. However, despite being a part of a group of determined individuals, Michiru is also the voice of sympathy. She is a sweet and caring woman to those who can see past her veil, often serving as a mentor or mother. Despite being a mature and elegant young woman, Michiru still has her frivolities, such as a love of make-up.

Note: Her mirror is an important weapon in her battles that she carries with her.

Sample Entry:

My, I didn't realize I was popular even out here! I didn't expect such a dedicated following in America, much less Louisiana. Well, even if these aren't the best circumstances, I'm glad that we've managed to make the best of it. After such a warm welcome, it seems unfair to leave you all empty-handed, if you did have hands that is. But I didn't realize that I would be making an unplanned trip around the world in the blink of an eye today. It doesn't happen too often to me, naturally, so I'll have to be more ready next time. -Not that there will be a next time, of course, but it never hurts to be prepared. ♥ Unfortunately, since I was caught off-guard this time, I don't have my violin on me, so a performance will be impossible. Haste gets the better of us all, so don't beat yourself up. Really, stop that, please. Still, with a little warning, a few accidents could have been avoided. Oh, don't worry, my shoes will be fine! I was looking for a reason to get a few new pairs, but my purse. . . Well, I don't really understand what the toucans would want with a few compacts and tubes of lipstick. I understand the wildlife is more than uncontrollable here, but it's also very hard to find that perfect shade of pink lipstick, so I would like my purse and all its contents returned, please.

I really hope that isn't too large of a demand. But a woman's purse is her life, so I need it back immediately. I know it must be hard on everyone here with thievery being as natural as being manhandled by the gorillas, but you can't let them do as they please either. Be firm, and I'm sure they'll come along eventually. Managing that on your own can be very difficult without a little help, I know. But, as much as I'd like to help you all, I'm afraid that I'll probably just cause more trouble. Who knows what kind of traps I could walk into in an unfamiliar place like this? That's probably why no one is given warning when they suddenly appear here, right? It's very tactically sound to use the element of surprise and any other advantages available while you can, like instilling fear in your opponent. Everyone thinks anything is possible within this place, making this camp look insurmountable and unconquerable before anyone even retaliates. -Oh, I sound like a veteran already! This place really does effect you quickly. Anyway, I shouldn't keep you all here any longer. Remember, to stick to your guns, so to speak. Thank you all, and good luck! Please, don't worry about me. I'll be fine right here, and I won't stray too far, I promise.

Well, shaking them off certainly took a while. With that much attention from the zombies and having my mirror stolen away that quickly after my arrival, the Director may already be onto me. I shouldn't have been detected with how common time-space warps are here, but it would be reckless to chalk this all up bad luck. I'll have to strike quickly before she manages to catch on to me. . . First, I'll have to find my mirror first, though. I think I saw those birds fly this way, right to the lake. It's probably the heart of the infestation of negative energy here. Even toxic waste can't cause such a garish glow, and I'm sure nothing good can come from a place where the waves crash so violently. -Now, here's my purse, but where is everything else? Did the Director really discover me that quickly?

-Oh, I didn't see you there! You would be Marcy, wouldn't you? I didn't mean to wander quite so close. I heard the warnings, so I'm sorry that we'll have to keep a proper distance. It's just that I saw my purse over here, and-Ah, that shade of pink! Mmm, no, it doesn't suit your extensions and highlights at all, Marcy. Please, return it and my mirror to me. Then we can see about finding you some reds and pinks to match your complexion.

Character: Tomoe Hotaru
Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (manga)
Age: around 13

Canon: This is the story of a girl named Tsukino Usagi, just your regular school girl, but don't let her fool you. In reality, she's the protector of love and justice, Sailor Moon! In her quest to keep the planet Earth safe, she's aided by her friends, the Sailor Soldiers. Sailor Moon and her friends defend the universe from the countless baddies who try to take it over-of course, they pull this all off while wearing extremely short skirts and a perfect manicure. The job to protect the Earth from a distance is given to the Sailor Soldiers of the Outer solar system, Sailor Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. Unfortunately their hands are tied when they're forced to face an enemy from another dimension. Soon spiraling out of control, the course of catastrophic events lead to the inter-dimensional creature trying to consume the world! Amidst the chaos, the Soldier of Silence, Sailor Saturn is awakened in the body of Hotaru Tomoe to clean up the mess. She brings the end of the evil being or-true to her name-the "Silence," sacrificing herself in the process.

After Saturn's death, she's reborn as baby Hotaru, and then taken and raised by Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto to live as a normal child. She's cared for in their loving arms, and becomes a happy, gentle (but still somewhat overly mature) child. Still fitting the description of the Sailor Soldier of Silence in image as well as personality, Hotaru is quiet and precocious, mostly keeping to herself and somehow always seeming to know more then she lets on. The others even comment how sometimes her eyes go cold like Saturn's. She seems far more mature beyond her years, pitying those who are coerced into evil, and who will inevitably be destroyed by it. Her hobbies include reading through books at 100 mph, reciting poetry like it's no one's business, playing the violin, and then creating small solar systems as a "game" she plays with her foster parents. However, when the time calls, she's true to her duty to protect Earth.

This game simulates the flow of time in the universe. The story of Camp Fuck You Die could even mirror it on a smaller scale. See, I can make time speed up so the dust and matter become planets and stars within the game. Right now the point in time is about forty-five million years in the past. This little luminescent ball, between these stars, is Earth. It's like a blue pearl, beautiful, but insignificant against the rest of the darkness. Keep in mind that despite its tiny size, it's still glowing brightly. That's part of its nature, it needs to glow against the darkness to ensure peaceful survival. There are many who would wish to consume it, drawn to the glow. Like yourself, I see, though I didn't mean consume literally. Please, step back or you'll ruin the game. There are people who glow brightly too, like stars in the void around them. It's part of life and death, and in the end, no matter how brightly something burns, that its glow will eventually fade. Isn't that what I see from your rotting flesh? You're to the point of death, yet you wish to consume the glowing ball that's Earth. I'm going to assume it's not simply because the image might resemble a brain. Though you were once proud, brave individuals, your home was in this swamp until a great tragedy fell upon you. You've been "alive" since then, in a constant state of unrest. Are you unwilling to allow yourselves death? Your stubborn nature won't still the hand of the Reaper, no matter how much you may fear him.

To encourage the flow of death and life in this universe, I was brought here, invited by your Director, Elizabeth Sayre. My presence was requested to destroy the undead in this camp so they can be reborn. You would be the undead, wouldn't you? Many of your more prominent features make it... obvious. The awful smell, the lust for brains, and the dull, lost look in your eyes. Unfortunately for you, I don't think that I'll be able to fulfill her request. I almost regret it, seeing you here, suffering as you are. It must be a sad existence. Though I freely took her invitation, this Camp Fuck You Die is beyond my jurisdiction as Sailor Saturn.

Even if I could carry out my duty here, I don't believe you're dead. Zombies are the kinds of things you see in the circus, or in a movie. Or perhaps something that you battle to save the people that you love, and the sanctity of your planet. As zombies, you don't look like the type that will eat my brains, and you don't have enough power to destroy anything. You're caught in your own Hell, one that doesn't yet cross paths with the Soldier of Destruction. My qualms don't lie with you, but with your Director. First, she brings me me here to destroy unnatural creatures such as yourself, and then she has the audacity to not allow me to leave. It's as if she had known all along. She can't play with life and death so flippantly, I won't allow it! If this is a game she's playing, it's not one as innocent as my own. How long will it go on if no one steps in? I will return home. Believe me, Ms. Sayre, like the flow of time in the universe, you will be the one to lose the game!

Character: Jasdero
Series: D. Gray-Man
Character Age: 17.

Canon: Set in an alternative version of the end of the nineteenth century, D. Gray-Man is a dark series that deals with the exorcists' struggle to protect the world from the Noah family and their Akuma minions, while dealing with conflicts of their own. However, instead of focusing on that as a whole, we're going to narrow it down to Jasdero. Jasdero is a member of the Noah family, half of the Noah of Bonds with Devit. When the need arises, the two can literally join and become one person, Jasdevi. They were assigned to kill the exorcist general Cross; however, they ended up being left in the dust and saddled with his debts. This, of course, did not sit well with them, and they immaturely decided to take it out on Cross's apprentice, Allen Walker.

Jasdero is less sane of the twins, more distracted and emotionally unstable, easily being brought to tears by something as simple as his hair being damaged. He's selfish unless it comes to Devit and doesn't seem to see himself as an individual apart from being half of Jasdevi. He tends to speak of himself in the third person, and most of his thoughts revolve around Devit. However, this doesn't mean he's without some individuality or thoughts of his own. He has his own personality: he's easily amused, violent, often childlike, and creative. He also has a strange way of speaking, adding a distinctive giggle to the ends of his sentences. He shares Devit's unfortunate taste in fashion and also becomes highly offended at the idea that someone might be mocking them or looking down on them.

Sample Post:

Camp, hee!!

Dero has never been to camp before. Jasdero didn't want to be here, but it happened anyway! The stupid map was wrong, this isn't where the target is! Stupid Cross must have ruined the map! That's why it was wrong, it's all his fault! It's always his fault. Jasdevi will get him, hee!! When he's found, he'll pay. We'll kill him, kill him! And we'll take it out on his disciple, too. And anyone else who dares to gets in Jasdevi's way! As soon as we find them, anyway... Dero will ask the counselors, and maybe they will know where Cross and his disciple are! But first, Dero will make the counselors find Devit for him! Or else, hee!! Dero doesn't want to be at camp if Devit's not here. Or anywhere at all, if Devit isn't there! Dero has to look harder for him...

Dero looked for him already today, all around the camp. Dero looked everywhere! And Dero decided that camp is fun. Jasdero found lots of things here, dead things that are fun to chase and pretty birds. Dero really likes the birds. Dero tried to catch the birds, but they flew away and Dero fell out of the tree because of them. It hurt! Stupid birds, hee!! They should have just stayed put, and let Dero grab them! They looked tasty. Jasdero wants to catch them, and eat them. What do toucans taste like? Like duck? Or turkey? Dero doesn't know, but Dero thinks they will taste very good in curry. And Dero will definitely catch them! And steal their pretty feathers too, hee!!

And Dero wants to play more with the stupid dead things. They're funny, green and gray and gross. And stupid, too! They can't hurt Dero, they're too dumb to. Stupid dead things! Dero will poke them with sticks, and trip them. And when Dero finds Devit, Devit can trip them too. Jasdevi will play a game with them, and they'll definitely lose! Hee!! No one can win against Jasdevi! No one can even come close to winning! They'll all lose, since Jasdevi is the best! Hee!! Jasdevi could have a lot of fun here, there's lots of things to do. Dero wants to play games, and bother the counselors, and eat!

But no, it won't happen! Dero can't stay here, no matter how fun it is! And it is fun... So fun! But Dero needs to go home. Dero will find Devit, and leave this place! There is work to do, Jasdevi has a target! And the birds and funny water and dead things and fun can't distract from that! Nothing can distract Jasdevi, nothing! Nothing at all, hee!!

...Pretty birds, hee!! Maybe Jasdero can stay a just little longer?
