Character: "Mephisto Pheles" or Johannes Faustus V
Series: Ao no Exorcist
Character Age: (¡u¡) We don't know honestly
Job: Janitor Camp Hygienist

Canon: In Ao no Exorcist, a world with more daddy issues than demons, there exists two dimensions: Assiah, the realm of humans, and Gehenna, the realm of demons. Communication and travel between the two is typically impossible but this means absolutely nothing to Mephisto Pheles: one son of Satan who not only serves the religious organization working to protect Assiah from demon invasion, but is the chairman of the school that trains all up and coming Exorcists fighting for the same cause.

His role within the True Cross Order is not his only one, however. In public Mephisto goes by the name Johanness Faustus V, and does nothing short of making sure he is the center of attention almost constantly. He's a man who marches to his own orchestra and leads his own parade. He speaks often in high regard to himself and is used to being in positions of power. By default he keeps to his professional aura, but this does not stop him from being a total otaku and slightly obnoxious. He enjoys setting the stage for conflict and then taking to the sidelines to watch the mayhem. Mephisto also uses gratuitous amounts of German.

Sample Post:

Greetings campers, staff members, and the local ghoul infestation! As you may already know I am Johannes Faustus V, chairman to the True Cross Academy and your newest counselor! Yes, yes I know this comes as a great surprise, a celebrity such as myself coming to your camp grounds, but worry not of our social differences as from today onward we will be working together.

I have taken the time to prepare gifts for all, so you may open your boxes to find... a bucket! Not just any bucket however, inside is a fitted pair of dish gloves with your own personalized scrub brush. I'll assume you understand this means there will be a camp-wide cleaning spree. Don't think I'm not perfectly aware of the less-than inhabitable living conditions here. There will be no tolerance for broken screen doors, dusty furniture, moldy rooms, nor abandoned body parts on these grounds. Keep your comments to yourself, this affects everyone in camp but especially those of you I will be working with directly. My allergies are far too sensitive for you to not shower daily.

In celebration of the improved hygiene around camp, I, the great and rich chairman have gathered some complimentary garments for all of you. Everyone has been given cleaning uniforms to increase morale while completing your duties around camp! Treat them well however, pink Doreamon patterned kimonos are not easy to come by for common folk such as yourselves. Those who already live up to the expectations I have laid out will be appointed positions of junior inspectors, and will be granted the privilege of assisting me with the weekly judging. This is a position with significantly less tile scrubbing; something which those of you currently living in filth will be doing a lot of.

Additional perks include: brownies and limited edition 'Mephy Land' trading cards. Aside from this, it is of utmost importance that inspections are completed on time. You see based upon the score given by the junior inspectors everyone's ranks are subject to change. This will influence who does what weekly chores: including scrubbing Marcy's silo. Now that you are equipped with the knowledge of how camp will be maintained from here on out I encourage you to go forth: Eins, Zwei, Drei!

Character: Lincoln Lee
Series: Fringe
Character Age: 29-30ish
Job: Official Confidante

Canon: Shapeshifters, and experimental drug trials, and alternate universes, oh my! Welcome to the world of fringe science. When FBI Agent Olivia Dunham's partner is seriously injured in the investigation of a bizarre chemical weapon attack, she turns to mad (no really, he's in a mental institution!) scientist Dr. Walter Bishop for help. In doing so, her puts herself smack in the middle of what scientists officially refer to as CRAZY SHIT, like that time when she travelled to a universe parallel to her own where zeppelins fill the skies of New York City, and met her alternate universe double!

Said alternate universe double works for her own universe’s Fringe Division of the Department of Defense, which basically handles, you guessed it, crazy shit. Leading the Fringe team on that side is Captain Lincoln Lee. Even though he gets blown up in his first episode (he gets better), Lincoln isn't the sort of guy who would let that get him down. While he's every bit the confident professional that a team leader needs to be, he generally comes across quite casual and friendly. He's also outgoing and great at his job, but, on the other hand, he's reckless and sometimes a little bit... well, dumb. Good decision making isn't always his first priority, but he clearly means well. Just don't ever assume that working with top-secret classified information means he can keep a personal secret. Because he can't.

Sample Post:

Hi! Captain Lee, Official Confidante, here for you to tell me your deepest, darkest secrets. Then I'll give you advice, and no one but me has to know about your problems. So what if it's not my usual job title, I'm nothing if not professional, no matter what the job may be. So, Mister... Don K. Kong? What's on your mind? Did you see something the Toucan Mafia might disappear you for and need someone to know about it, just in case? Uncover that the zombies are part of a conspiracy to steal all your bananas? Come on, work with me here. I have no clue what kind of secrets giant purple apes need someone to keep for them.

Hey, what do you mean, I don't look trustworthy? I'm a government agent! I'm all kinds of trustworthy. You wouldn't believe the top secret stuff I deal with on a daily basis for my real job. -Yeah, no, I'm not gonna tell you about it. See? Keeping secrets. It's kinda my thing. And hey, no offense, but it's not like a lot of people are curious about the personal lives of monkeys. So come on, buddy, spill. Your personal confidante is here to help.

...Huh. Lady problems. Okay, who doesn't have their share of those. Aside from me, obviously, which is what makes me so good at giving advice. So what if most people tend to stick to their own species. Who am I to judge the love a gorilla has for a giant tentacle monster? So you've got it bad for Marcy, but she's only interested in nubile young campers. I see your problem. You're basically the opposite of nubile, but hey, it works for you. So if you want my advice, I say go for it. You'll never know until you take that chance, and hey, she might have a secret passion for burly purple dudes. And it's not like she's all that likely to have a boyfriend or anything already, right? Great! Problem solved, and your clearly very romantic giant-squid-on-gorilla-action fantasies are never going to leave my head. No, seriously. Never. Now do me a favor and send the next guy in? Thanks.

Hey there, I'm Captain Lee, and I'm here to keep your secrets. Even if it's freaky inter-species love problems involving the tentacle monster, like that last guy. So! What's on your mind? Trust me, I can keep a secret!

Character: Dororo
Series: Sgt. Frog
Character Age: Adult Frog
Job: Gardening Instructor

Canon: The Earth has been invaded by aliens from another world! Or at least...it was supposed to be. In this comedic and occasionally fourth wall-breaking series, a platoon consisting of five Keronians (alien frogs) were sent to Earth, or "Pekopon" as the Keronians call it, in order take over the planet and enslave the human race. Unfortunately, the invading force they sent proved to be very incompetent and easily distracted, most of which is due to the inept leadership of Sergent Keroro.

Lance Corporal Dororo was the skilled, intelligent, and lethal assassin of the unit, and was also gullible enough to be friends with the narcissistic Keroro when they were young tadpoles. When their ship crash-landed on Earth during their arrival, the platoon was separated and Dororo found himself near death in a forest until he was saved by a young girl. The two formed a bond and she taught him the way of the ninja, and together they protect the peace. When he was eventually reunited with his platoon, he realized that they had completely forgotten all about him. This has been a recurring theme within the group ever since Dororo was a child, and causes his emotional "Trauma Switch" to flip, which makes him wallow in sadness. With his new found obligation to use his abilities for good and his affinity for nature, he no longer participates in any of Keroro's plans if they involve harming the innocent or damaging the environment, which doesn't make him very popular among his comrades-when they remember he exists, anyway.

Sample Post:

The blue sky calms my mind, the winds soothe my body, and the light from the sun warms my soul.

...

I TRUSTED THEM! I can't believe I trusted them again! They told me this would be a plan that even I would enjoy, and none of them showed up. And it's my birthday too...

I'm sure they're all back home sitting around and watching TV or building plastic models, not even wondering where I am. They promised the next plan would be something that would be beneficial to the planet, rather than just doing another one of Keroro's crazy schemes that are always at someone else's expense. I guess I'm foolish for believing that my friends were actually interested in assisting me with my cause. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me one thousand two hundred and thirty seven times...shame on me.

We were all supposed to be here together, working with the children of this camp and inspiring them to lead enlightened lives, instead of just trying to take them over like they normally do. I mean, they were the ones who picked this camp in the first place! And not only did they not show up, but this place is full of weird monsters as well. Which I suppose is saying something, coming from a talking frog ninja from outer space. I mean, this is supposed to be the American midwest, and yet there is a squid on top of that silo; where did that even come from!? And how does it stay alive out here? I'm not even sure I want to know.

The good news is, I brought plenty of seeds with me to start a new garden, and since I'm already here I might as well do what I came here for. I think it would be good for the children if they learned about the responsibility we all have to take care of this beautiful pla-eugh, that tree has tentacles! I think I'll continue my monologue over here. As I was saying, as long as we're all living here together, we all share the same responsibility to take care of this planet. We take advantage of it every day, and hardly anyone ever stops to appreciate the beauty of it. It's such a shame.

I can only hope that these kids will be more open-minded than the rest of my platoon. And I also hope that someone actually remembers my birthday next year...

Name: Captain Marvelous
Series: Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
Age: ~23
Job: Professor of Not Fighting Fair

Canon: When the space empire Zangyack first tried to conquer the planet Earth, it was met by no small resistance. Every last sentai fighter in the planet’s history, all 34 teams, fought them off at the expense of their powers. Their powers were flung far into the reaches of space, somehow taking the forms of keys on the way. It was out in the far reaches of the galaxy that the keys were collected by a group of pirates whose dream it was to find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe - a search which has now led them not only back to Earth, but on a quest to find members of those previous teams to unlock the hidden potentials of their powers through predictions known as "Treasure Navigates".

Captain Marvelous, captain of these space pirates and leader of the 35th sentai team, is a pirate through and through. What else can you expect from a man with Captain in his name and a space ship in the shape of a seventeenth century galleon? He's been named Zangyack's greatest threat, but he doesn't seem to care. What matters to him is his dream of finding treasure and before that, filling his stomach and keeping things showy and interesting. In addition to being arrogant and prone to acting on whims, he's been described as brash, reckless, and even downright stupid and it's his single-minded nature that's the cause. Once he's decided on a goal, he won't stop until he succeeds, no matter how insane the hurdles - even when that involves leaping into a tiger pit to demand that the cats show him their children for a Treasure Navigate. It's all to live out his dream, after all. And anyway, that's just what a real pirate would do.

Sample Post:

Oi, you hairy bastards, pay attention to me! Yeah, you with the banana, I mean you. Who the hell do you think I am? Just shut up and get ready to work for your dinner. I'm Captain Marvelous and I'm only gonna say this once. This is how a pirate teaches somebody how to fight! All of you are going to come fight with everything you've got, and if you're really lucky, you'll even get to walk away from the fight afterward. Got it?

Didn't I just tell you to shut up? Aren't Earthlings supposed to listen to the guy instructing them, or are there cornstalks growing out of your ears? Nobody cares what you guys think or else I wouldn't be stuck teaching. Whine a little harder, why don't you! That's not going to make fighting any easier here or anywhere else in the galaxy. So go right ahead, cry yourself a river. Knock yourself out, eyes and all! Maybe it’s not such a bad idea ... I'd get the chance to show you what a gangplank is all about then. Ha! Now that could be interesting.

Tch, I still don't get why I have to be the one to do this. How is helping some giant group of furry idiots to fight for themselves going to lead to treasure? It's stupid! This whole plan is stupid! So pick those pitchforks back up and try again. I don't care what I just said! Do it. If your enemy ever drops his big pointy stick, go ahead and kick him in the head. When you're in a fight, everything counts as fair. Remember that. It's what's gonna lead you to your win today.

That's enough of this lesson for now. I'm hungry, so let's finish up and get it over with already. Our goal is to beat off that giant squid thing, right? So that's all we have to do. There's more than enough of you Guerrilla Fighters who can still walk for a fight this simple. It's a squid! It can't run away. Just duck and weave and aim for the eyes. Don't try to back out now, oi! This isn't my fight, it's yours. If you can hit the broadside of a barn, you can hit a monster hiding inside of one. What the hell are you waiting for?

Fine, I'll come with you. Maybe then this'll be over with faster. So let's ship out, huh? Your bodies are strong enough, and you've all got weapons. What else is there? -- Right. Anybody who makes it in one piece back gets dinner. One piece! I'm not feeding anybody double for getting cut in half!

All that talking about food is getting me in the mood for this. My body is ready! Let's make a show of this!
