Name: Kivaara
Age: Presumably mid-late teens.
Series: Kamen Rider Decade
Canon: It was a pretty normal day for the amnesia-ridden Kadoya Tsukasa -- he took photographs and that girl he lives with beat him up -- until the world they were in began to crumble around their feet. While trying to survive that he learned of the existence of the nine Rider Worlds, and of his destiny: As Kamen Rider Decade he would travel to each world and destroy it. Not that he really buys into the whole genocide idea - he'd prefer use his journey to save each world and photograph it rather than kill everything in sight.
Shortly into the journey, the mysterious, blood-sucking white bat named Kivaara joins the group. Her motives are both secret and sinister, as she is frequently seen hanging out with and giving aid to the forces which oppose Decade. She is whimsical, somewhat self-centered and playful and has been known to withhold information from others to better suit her own purposes. With that said, she is very happy to keep with the group and provide help and hindrance along the way as she sees fit. In the end, she's sort of a helpful ally, but only if you tilt your head and squint.
Sample App:
Everyone, did you know? It's rude to keep a lady waiting.
Here I am now~ right on time just like my invitation says. You should all know that traveling to Camp's world isn't easy. It's the most complicated trip to maneuver. Why, there's only one map in this or any other world that could lead in or out of it safely. My, my, that certainly got your attention, didn't it? Flattering. But you should be paying attention to me, not that story! Don't you know better by now? When someone is talking, the correct answer is to listen politely and not to twiddle your thumbs until they fall off around you. That's what is known as off putting, and it is disgraceful. Pick them up and put them back on while I continue. If you want to hear more about that map you're going to have to sit quietly and listen.
Where was I . . . ? Oh yes, my little trip. It was quite the happening adventure. I'm sure none of you would have been able to handle it. It seems I managed to rub you the wrong way with that, and the big oaf in the back is rubbing everyone around him the wrong way. You're not going to win any points by breaking apart everyone around you, silly promise or not. Listen, listen. We'll get to the fun part soon enough, I'll hurry it along. There's no need to get so shaken up you fall apart. Keep that up and see where it gets you, straight to the bottom of the pits for next year's spreading.
There! Are you people finally willing to behave? Then I'll cut to the chase. Through the wilderness - somehow I made it through. It was all just one disaster after another out there, zeppelins and icebergs galore. Despite all that I still managed to make it here in record time. For that and for all the trouble you're still causing, don't you think you owe me? How about a little taste of you and your supposed hospitality?
It's not too much at all, if you think about it. Just turn your head and cough, then close your eyes and say "Ahh~" and it will all be over before you even know it. You see, you're not even going to have to see it happen! Hmm, this is why I came all the way here, so you ought to be nice to me about it. I was invited for a party, so let's have one. Repeat after me: "Coffee, or tea, or me?" Those are my choices, and I've already decided . . . I'm taking you ♥

Character: Red
Series: Pokemon Special/Adventures
Character Age: Apping him from the end of the Emerald arc, so about 16.
Canon: Pokemon Special is a manga incarnation of the Pokemon franchise - a series detailing the adventures of kids who fight each other using colorful monsters with elemental powers. The storyline is heavily based on the video games, going so far as to name its central characters after the latest editions. Recent volumes have expanded the story into something truly unique and engaging, but the first arc followed the simple idea that defined the company: the journey of a young boy with a Pikachu from a tiny town, ready to take on the world and emerge a Champion.
Red is the original hero of the story. He's an incredibly skilled battler and scrupulously fair, disliking to fight those at a disadvantage. Red's battle approach is rather aggressive - he's even fought opponents with his own hands, an unusual move in a world where Pokemon do the fighting - and he has an instinctual ability for strategy. His unpredictability and keen insight fade outside of conflict, however, when he proves himself happily ignorant, somewhat naive, and a little too willing to trust. He has a strong sense of empathy and is loyal to his friends and trusting of Pokemon above all else, willing to risk his life to ensure their safety. Because of his respect for Pokemon and battling talent, he was one of a very few Pokemon Trainers to be given a device called a Pokedex: a sort of electronic reference book that contains information on the powers, habits, appearances, and personalities of the many different types of Pokemon. Red and the other Pokedex Holders are given special status in their world because of it, and he is the unofficial leader of this group.
For those unfamiliar with Pokemon, a Mankey is a fluffy Pokemon that resemble an ape.

So I turn left here and... no, wait, that can't be right. There's a massive hole there, the path stops. Am I holding the map backwards? I could've sworn I already crossed that river... Guess the path caved in. Damn! At this rate my Pokemon are going to be exhausted by the time we get there. How am I supposed to answer a challenge if they can't fight? Maybe I should get some of the local Pokemon to help me out.
Hey! My name's Red. Sorry to bother you, but I think I'm lost... see, I got this letter from a Trainer named Elizabeth Sayre who wants to battle me, but the map's kinda confusing and I don't know where I'm going. Do you think you could show me where her training Camp is?... Thanks! You guys are really helping me out. What are you, anyways, some kind of purple Mankey? You aren't showing up on my Pokedex - that probably means you're pretty rare! I haven't encountered many Pokemon that haven't registered on it since it was upgraded. This really must be a far-off place! Maybe we could have a battle sometime, after I fight Sayre. You look like you'd be tough to beat - and I know someone who would be thrilled if I took one of you home with me tonight.
Wow, it's nice to see you guys so excited! You must really like battling. Anyways, are we getting close? I've been walking in this cornfield for a long time, and I've got a couple of Water-types that are probably really dried out by now. They don't do well in hot areas like this... I'm kinda worried that they'll get dehydrated. They're already looking a little worn-out, see? Oh, this? It's called a Pokeball. I'm surprised you don't know how this works already, but when you catch a Pokemon you battle them first. When they get tired, you throw the ball at them and it opens up and catches the Pokemon. You can only have six Pokemon with you, but since you can come across a wild Pokemon at any time, Trainers usually have a lot of balls.... Okay, I don't see what's so funny about that.
...Is that it? That's her training Camp? It's a lot bigger then I thought it'd be. And a lot uglier, too... Eh, thanks! I never would have found this place without you guys. If there's anything I can ever do for you, just let me know!
...
Um, well... anything except for that. I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

Character: Hina Ichigo
Series: Rozen Maiden (anime)
Character Age: A little over a 100
Canon: A collection consisting of seven exquisitely beautiful dolls called "Rozen Maidens" are something of a myth. In a strange turn of events, Sakurada Jun, found himself in the possession of one of these dolls. Upon choosing 'to wind' he finds himself serving as a Medium to a living doll and meeting her sisters who are taking part in the 'Alice Game'; a game that promises to change the winning doll into 'Alice' the most beautiful girl of them all and most importantly to meet their 'Father.' Hina Ichigo is one of these dolls, who unfortunately already lost the game.
Hina Ichigo is the Sixth Doll and probably the most childish in personality as indicated by her tendency to mix third-person in her speech and adding a cutesy 'na no' at the end of her sentences. She is extremely gullible, prone to mixing up her words, curious, and ridiculously delighted with anything that amuses her and makes her happy. Like a child, Hina can easily get upset and scared. She loves almost anyone who shows kindness and loves to her back and is not afraid to show affection. Hina Ichigo treasures companionship above all else and dislikes being lonely.
Sample Post:
Hina saw lots of people after going outside. Some of the people look nice. I can’t tell if that pretty person is a boy or girl, but that’s okay! And some other people look scary na no. Hina thinks she saw a person with big teeth! Shinku was right about how the outside can be dangerous. I should be extra, extra careful from now on! But... Hina isn't sure where this place is na no. Actually, I saw a sign that had letters on it. I think it said… Um… Unyuuuu… It’s kind of hard to remember and the letters were all funny like… Ca…. Cam… Camp… Camp Fu… Camp Fufufufu….?
Camp Fun na no?
Camp Fun! I’ve never been camping before! So that's why there's that really, really, really, big lake. I shouldn't go near it though. I might fall in and... Never come back. That would be scary na no. Hina will just camp just a bit after sending my letter to Jun. Then I’ll go home and maybe Nori will have 'unyuu' for a snack. My tummy is starting to growl a bit.
Hina will go see those who live in these wooden houses if I can go camping na no. Unyuu? Oh! Look! I’ll go talk to those slow moving people over there! They look like really nice even if their faces look messy. Too much cranberry juice for them is bad. Helloooooooooooo!!! Hina wants to talk to youuuuu! Down here na no! Hina knows she's small, but she's not teeny tiny. You should be able to see me. So do you live in the wooden houses na no? Is that what you do when you camp? Hey, listen to Hina!
He went away. The mister was too busy saying ‘brrrr’ huh? Uh oh, it’s getting dark na no! H-Hina should find a place to stay! Suiseiseki said that all the monsters come out at night after all. But is anyone going to let me stay in their wooden house overnight na no? That makes me a stranger doesn’t it? Wait! Hina has an idea!
Hina will draw a picture for anyone who lets me sleep inside their place as payment na no! It’s my special skill! Also, if I find any, Hina will share her favorite snack too!

Character name: Cesare Borgia (Cesar Borja)
Series: Cesare
Age: 16
Canon: The year is 1491. The place is Pisa, Italy, ruled over by the Medici family and home to the Università di Pisa, where boys from the surrounding states and countries come to obtain degrees in subjects ranging from Law to Theology. It is a dangerous town and a dangerous time, caught in the whirlwind of the Renaissance. Cesare is an exploration of the cultural growth and political maneuvering in Italy during these years, using the young Cesare Borgia as its nexus.
At the age of sixteen Cesare Borgia is by no means the prince immortalized by Machiavelli or the demon his contemporaries would later make him out to be. He is in many ways simply a typical student at the university. He plays hooky, rides horses with his friends, and gets into fist fights. At the same time, he is deeply affected by the affairs around him. His natural intelligence and the high position of his father in the Vatican boost his standing while his illegitimacy and Spanish background present obstacles to his future. And unlike many of his classmates, Cesare harbors great ambitions and a burning drive to succeed in the footsteps of his powerful namesake.
Sample Post:
Excuse me, signora. Would you be able to tell me where the university is? I’ve just arrived and I’m afraid I’m a little disoriented. I thought Campo Fuchiodí was only a few days travel from Pisa but the terrain here is very different. For one thing, I’ve never seen grain like this before, although you have fields of it. And that creature you have climbing on that tower is spectacular! You say her name is Marcy? I’ve only seen monsters of her kind at the edges of maps. Of course, since she does truly exist, she isn’t a monster.
Flora and fauna aside, this place really is fascinating. I’m sure I’ll be able to further my education admirably here. I understand that in addition to the large library, there are excellent medical facilities... Oh, I didn’t mean to be rude. It’s certainly a shame they weren’t able to do anything about your... physical degeneration, or is it that you were unable to pay the expense? It seems like everywhere is the same. The stench of corruption and greed rises from Pisa to venerated Rome herself. And now it seems that the Devil has his claws on even these spacious skies and amber waves of grain! What times are we living in when even this pastoral Eden is subject to such misrule? Tell me: who is the lord of this place?
A woman?
It’s unusual, to be sure, but it would be prudent not to underestimate her. There have been many talented women who have pushed down those less deserving of power to claim it themselves. Your Lady Sayre is simply the most recent in the line of the Queen of Sheba. But is it better for a ruler to be feared or to be loved? Theoretically one can derive power from either, but they say that Fortune is a lady and that her affections are temporary. If I were Lady Sayre, I would be on the alert for the arrival of an outside force capable of winning away the support of her people.
Now, did I mention that I would like to procure you a doctor?

Character: Theodore
Series: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable
Character Age: looks ~20-21 in appearance.
Canon: Teenage life has always been hard, but the members of the Special Extracurricular Execution Squad, more commonly known as S.E.E.S have it worse. Studying by day and battling monsters known as Shadows by night, S.E.E.S consists of teenagers who shoot themselves in the head to summon Personas into combat. Leading this group of students is the protagonist of the game, who possesses the power to use multiple Personas and fuse them in a place called the Velvet Room. Theodore is one of the Velvet Room's attendants, appearing exclusively when the player chooses to play as the female version of the protagonist. Though his Master, Igor, is the one in charge of helping the protagonist fuse Personas, Theodore aids her by giving her side quests with rewards that help her on her journey.
Theodore is a soft spoken gentleman with a refined way of speech. He's a bit of a frog in the well; the only thing he knows about the outside world through books and rumors, though he pretends to know more. He usually lets his imagination run wild, making crazy dramatic assumptions, but when it turns out he's wrong he gets flustered and makes poor excuses before timidly asking for the correct answer. Naturally he's very curious about the world outside the Velvet Room and has a tendency to treat everything he learns with the utmost seriousness, even if it's just figurative speech or sarcasm. Nevertheless he is always excited to experience new things and is always happy to share his enthusiasm with his Master by bringing back souvenirs, much to Igor's chagrin.
Sample Post:
This journey has taken me much longer than I’d hoped, but at last, I've finally found the fabled Camp of FUD! I've heard rumors that it was situated near a radioactive swamp, guarded by a fearsome monster that none have yet to defeat. But it appears I was misled. There was no mystical Camp in the Louisiana swamps; instead I find it here, in this field of endless corn. The detour has greatly delayed my quest, but I shall nevertheless persevere. I have ventured out from the Velvet Room for a reason, after all- to find the legendary "Jizz-o-Frizz" hair cream that my Master desires. Although I still don't quite understand why my Master didn't simply ask me himself, instead choosing to leave me this vague letter. . . But I'll assume that he wishes to test my endurance. Even though it is strange, I must admit that in a way this is an interesting change from my usual tasks.
Of course, I've conducted thorough research about this particular cream, but unfortunately most traces of information relating to it were quite elusive. There are, however, a few things that I know about this legendary item for sure, such as the fact that it is said to have a strangely sticky texture and is pearlescent in color. One of the main ingredients is obtained by gently teasing a one eyed snake until it's standing at attention. It certainly sounds like a fascinating process. I'm most curious as to what this one eyed snake looks like and how one might go about teasing it. Although I doubt I would be able to find one here; even if the undead are native here, I am doubtful whether snakes are also such. Oh, but enough of my musing. The Master wouldn't be pleased if I forgot my original mission in this Camp. Through my research I have discovered that the legendary Jizz-o-Frizz is under the ownership of Master Stephen Debussey. When I finally tracked him down, I was surprised to see that Master Stephen wasn't a man as I've expected, but is in fact a toucan that used a picture of a man as a front to prevent assassination attempts. I never would have guessed! I can't help but wonder now if Madame Sayre also happens to secretly be a toucan as well. Perhaps I shall attempt to find out later; but for now, I have a new mission.
Master Stephen has generously agreed to give his prized possession to me if I complete another task for him. Apparently there's another ingredient for the Jizz-o-Frizz cream that can be found right in this very Camp! I assume that this Marcy's Moist must be the most exquisite flower with the sweetest nectar if it plays a role in the making of such a famous cream, and I am most enthusiastic to soon be able to experience a touch of this Marcy's Moist. I wonder what nourishing effect it could have on its own? Perhaps it is the secret ingredient that makes this hair cream the legendary one that it is! I hope that I could bring one back as a souvenir to-
T- this. . . is Marcy!? Well! I certainly suspected as much before I came. . .!

Character: Tsukumo
Series: Karneval
Character Age: 16
Canon: A boy is on the search for a missing man. His only hint on this wild goose chase? A bracelet the guy left behind. Turns out the bracelet leads the boy straight to the aptly-named crime-fighting organization, Circus. You see, Circus isn’t just any old police force; its team is composed of performers and entertainers who put on shows for civilians after executing raids. Fortunately for the boy, and his “friend,” Circus welcomes them with open arms and aids with the search.
So, ever wanted to get your ass kicked by a pretty girl in a cute frilly dress? You might just want to meet Tsukumo, Circus's popular and skilled acrobat. Tsukumo’s the cool, collected young lady every little girl wishes she could grow up to be. Men swoon over her, women adore her, and Tsukumo is... nonchalant about it. This strong, sensible Circus lieutenant is curt and concise, and, due in part to her quiet demeanor, she has a tendency to follow-up her sentences with those dreadful ellipses. She takes her job and just about everything seriously, from her acrobatic performances, to crime fighting, to... games of hide-and-seek. But dilly-dallying on the job? Yeah, no, Tsukumo won’t have that. She’s a no-nonsense girl who follow orders carefully and tries to ensure everyone’s safety no matter what.
Sample Post:
You're the director, right? Sorry for taking long. I ran into difficulty locating the cornfield you specified. Your email wasn’t very descriptive. "Meat me by the cornfield with the scarecrow." Hardly helpful when roughly every cornfield has a scarecrow. You also misspelled "meet.” I hope you're taking me seriously. Now, I’d like to address you about--wait. You're supposed to be a woman, aren't you, Miss Sayre? I realize that when you hide your face from the public there are misconceptions, but... it’s unlikely information regarding your sex went misinterpreted. I suppose you lost your feminine attributes along with your fingers and eyes...
This is about an upcoming play? So... that means you're not the director. Simply a director. I should have known that woman wouldn't show her face so easily. Sorry, but I'm not interested in performing for you... unless you can convince Miss Sayre, the woman in charge of this "summer camp," to attend the performance. Give her a backstage pass as well. That way I can introduce myself to her after the show. Understood? If you meet these needs, I'll participate.
Good. But, um... I didn’t realize my role would call for a suit made entirely of raw meat. It appears to cover almost every part of the body, too. From the feet to... the head. That’s impractical. I intend to move and breathe while playing this part. Director, do you honestly expect me to wear this costume for the show? A show being held outdoors? The outfit would cook in the summer heat. And don’t think I haven’t noticed Camp’s fauna. I might be stampeded by a herd of robotic bovine within seconds of walking onto the stage. You should have mentioned what my part entailed in the email. I never would have showed up if I knew...
--I didn’t say anything. Now let me see your script. I can’t really picture what kind of play requires an actress to wear meat. Let’s see... “The Attack of the Meat Creature From Mars.” I’m filling the role of the meat creature? I... I’m not sure what to make of that. However, if this is what you want, fine. I’ll be your show's meat creature. At this point I'll do anything to become acquainted with Miss Sayre.
But once I’m through with with her... You'll never direct another play again.

Hina knows she's small, but she's not teeny tiny. You should be able to see me. So do you live in the wooden houses na no? Is that what you do when you camp? Hey, listen to Hina!
He went away. The mister was too busy saying ‘brrrr’ huh? Uh oh, it’s getting dark na no! H-Hina should find a place to stay! Suiseiseki said that all the monsters come out at night after all. But is anyone going to let me stay in their wooden house overnight na no? That makes me a stranger doesn’t it? Wait! Hina has an idea!
Hina will draw a picture for anyone who lets me sleep inside their place as payment na no! It’s my special skill! Also, if I find any, Hina will share her favorite snack too!

Character name: Cesare Borgia (Cesar Borja)
Series: Cesare
Age: 16
Canon: The year is 1491. The place is Pisa, Italy, ruled over by the Medici family and home to the Università di Pisa, where boys from the surrounding states and countries come to obtain degrees in subjects ranging from Law to Theology. It is a dangerous town and a dangerous time, caught in the whirlwind of the Renaissance. Cesare is an exploration of the cultural growth and political maneuvering in Italy during these years, using the young Cesare Borgia as its nexus.
At the age of sixteen Cesare Borgia is by no means the prince immortalized by Machiavelli or the demon his contemporaries would later make him out to be. He is in many ways simply a typical student at the university. He plays hooky, rides horses with his friends, and gets into fist fights. At the same time, he is deeply affected by the affairs around him. His natural intelligence and the high position of his father in the Vatican boost his standing while his illegitimacy and Spanish background present obstacles to his future. And unlike many of his classmates, Cesare harbors great ambitions and a burning drive to succeed in the footsteps of his powerful namesake.

Excuse me, signora. Would you be able to tell me where the university is? I’ve just arrived and I’m afraid I’m a little disoriented. I thought Campo Fuchiodí was only a few days travel from Pisa but the terrain here is very different. For one thing, I’ve never seen grain like this before, although you have fields of it. And that creature you have climbing on that tower is spectacular! You say her name is Marcy? I’ve only seen monsters of her kind at the edges of maps. Of course, since she does truly exist, she isn’t a monster.
Flora and fauna aside, this place really is fascinating. I’m sure I’ll be able to further my education admirably here. I understand that in addition to the large library, there are excellent medical facilities... Oh, I didn’t mean to be rude. It’s certainly a shame they weren’t able to do anything about your... physical degeneration, or is it that you were unable to pay the expense? It seems like everywhere is the same. The stench of corruption and greed rises from Pisa to venerated Rome herself. And now it seems that the Devil has his claws on even these spacious skies and amber waves of grain! What times are we living in when even this pastoral Eden is subject to such misrule? Tell me: who is the lord of this place?
A woman?
It’s unusual, to be sure, but it would be prudent not to underestimate her. There have been many talented women who have pushed down those less deserving of power to claim it themselves. Your Lady Sayre is simply the most recent in the line of the Queen of Sheba. But is it better for a ruler to be feared or to be loved? Theoretically one can derive power from either, but they say that Fortune is a lady and that her affections are temporary. If I were Lady Sayre, I would be on the alert for the arrival of an outside force capable of winning away the support of her people.
Now, did I mention that I would like to procure you a doctor?

Character: Theodore
Series: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable
Character Age: looks ~20-21 in appearance.
Canon: Teenage life has always been hard, but the members of the Special Extracurricular Execution Squad, more commonly known as S.E.E.S have it worse. Studying by day and battling monsters known as Shadows by night, S.E.E.S consists of teenagers who shoot themselves in the head to summon Personas into combat. Leading this group of students is the protagonist of the game, who possesses the power to use multiple Personas and fuse them in a place called the Velvet Room. Theodore is one of the Velvet Room's attendants, appearing exclusively when the player chooses to play as the female version of the protagonist. Though his Master, Igor, is the one in charge of helping the protagonist fuse Personas, Theodore aids her by giving her side quests with rewards that help her on her journey.
Theodore is a soft spoken gentleman with a refined way of speech. He's a bit of a frog in the well; the only thing he knows about the outside world through books and rumors, though he pretends to know more. He usually lets his imagination run wild, making crazy dramatic assumptions, but when it turns out he's wrong he gets flustered and makes poor excuses before timidly asking for the correct answer. Naturally he's very curious about the world outside the Velvet Room and has a tendency to treat everything he learns with the utmost seriousness, even if it's just figurative speech or sarcasm. Nevertheless he is always excited to experience new things and is always happy to share his enthusiasm with his Master by bringing back souvenirs, much to Igor's chagrin.

This journey has taken me much longer than I’d hoped, but at last, I've finally found the fabled Camp of FUD! I've heard rumors that it was situated near a radioactive swamp, guarded by a fearsome monster that none have yet to defeat. But it appears I was misled. There was no mystical Camp in the Louisiana swamps; instead I find it here, in this field of endless corn. The detour has greatly delayed my quest, but I shall nevertheless persevere. I have ventured out from the Velvet Room for a reason, after all- to find the legendary "Jizz-o-Frizz" hair cream that my Master desires. Although I still don't quite understand why my Master didn't simply ask me himself, instead choosing to leave me this vague letter. . . But I'll assume that he wishes to test my endurance. Even though it is strange, I must admit that in a way this is an interesting change from my usual tasks.
Of course, I've conducted thorough research about this particular cream, but unfortunately most traces of information relating to it were quite elusive. There are, however, a few things that I know about this legendary item for sure, such as the fact that it is said to have a strangely sticky texture and is pearlescent in color. One of the main ingredients is obtained by gently teasing a one eyed snake until it's standing at attention. It certainly sounds like a fascinating process. I'm most curious as to what this one eyed snake looks like and how one might go about teasing it. Although I doubt I would be able to find one here; even if the undead are native here, I am doubtful whether snakes are also such. Oh, but enough of my musing. The Master wouldn't be pleased if I forgot my original mission in this Camp. Through my research I have discovered that the legendary Jizz-o-Frizz is under the ownership of Master Stephen Debussey. When I finally tracked him down, I was surprised to see that Master Stephen wasn't a man as I've expected, but is in fact a toucan that used a picture of a man as a front to prevent assassination attempts. I never would have guessed! I can't help but wonder now if Madame Sayre also happens to secretly be a toucan as well. Perhaps I shall attempt to find out later; but for now, I have a new mission.
Master Stephen has generously agreed to give his prized possession to me if I complete another task for him. Apparently there's another ingredient for the Jizz-o-Frizz cream that can be found right in this very Camp! I assume that this Marcy's Moist must be the most exquisite flower with the sweetest nectar if it plays a role in the making of such a famous cream, and I am most enthusiastic to soon be able to experience a touch of this Marcy's Moist. I wonder what nourishing effect it could have on its own? Perhaps it is the secret ingredient that makes this hair cream the legendary one that it is! I hope that I could bring one back as a souvenir to-
T- this. . . is Marcy!? Well! I certainly suspected as much before I came. . .!

Character: Tsukumo
Series: Karneval
Character Age: 16
Canon: A boy is on the search for a missing man. His only hint on this wild goose chase? A bracelet the guy left behind. Turns out the bracelet leads the boy straight to the aptly-named crime-fighting organization, Circus. You see, Circus isn’t just any old police force; its team is composed of performers and entertainers who put on shows for civilians after executing raids. Fortunately for the boy, and his “friend,” Circus welcomes them with open arms and aids with the search.
So, ever wanted to get your ass kicked by a pretty girl in a cute frilly dress? You might just want to meet Tsukumo, Circus's popular and skilled acrobat. Tsukumo’s the cool, collected young lady every little girl wishes she could grow up to be. Men swoon over her, women adore her, and Tsukumo is... nonchalant about it. This strong, sensible Circus lieutenant is curt and concise, and, due in part to her quiet demeanor, she has a tendency to follow-up her sentences with those dreadful ellipses. She takes her job and just about everything seriously, from her acrobatic performances, to crime fighting, to... games of hide-and-seek. But dilly-dallying on the job? Yeah, no, Tsukumo won’t have that. She’s a no-nonsense girl who follow orders carefully and tries to ensure everyone’s safety no matter what.

You're the director, right? Sorry for taking long. I ran into difficulty locating the cornfield you specified. Your email wasn’t very descriptive. "Meat me by the cornfield with the scarecrow." Hardly helpful when roughly every cornfield has a scarecrow. You also misspelled "meet.” I hope you're taking me seriously. Now, I’d like to address you about--wait. You're supposed to be a woman, aren't you, Miss Sayre? I realize that when you hide your face from the public there are misconceptions, but... it’s unlikely information regarding your sex went misinterpreted. I suppose you lost your feminine attributes along with your fingers and eyes...
This is about an upcoming play? So... that means you're not the director. Simply a director. I should have known that woman wouldn't show her face so easily. Sorry, but I'm not interested in performing for you... unless you can convince Miss Sayre, the woman in charge of this "summer camp," to attend the performance. Give her a backstage pass as well. That way I can introduce myself to her after the show. Understood? If you meet these needs, I'll participate.
Good. But, um... I didn’t realize my role would call for a suit made entirely of raw meat. It appears to cover almost every part of the body, too. From the feet to... the head. That’s impractical. I intend to move and breathe while playing this part. Director, do you honestly expect me to wear this costume for the show? A show being held outdoors? The outfit would cook in the summer heat. And don’t think I haven’t noticed Camp’s fauna. I might be stampeded by a herd of robotic bovine within seconds of walking onto the stage. You should have mentioned what my part entailed in the email. I never would have showed up if I knew...
--I didn’t say anything. Now let me see your script. I can’t really picture what kind of play requires an actress to wear meat. Let’s see... “The Attack of the Meat Creature From Mars.” I’m filling the role of the meat creature? I... I’m not sure what to make of that. However, if this is what you want, fine. I’ll be your show's meat creature. At this point I'll do anything to become acquainted with Miss Sayre.
But once I’m through with with her... You'll never direct another play again.
