Character: Squid Girl
Series: Shinryaku! Ika Musume
Character Age: age unknown, looks 13-14
Canon: One day a girl with squid-like tentacles for hair comes to a beachfront restaurant and announces that she will invade humanity and punish them for polluting her precious ocean. She attempts to claim the building as her base, but breaks a wall by accident in the resulting scuffle. The owners there enlist her as a waitress to make her pay for the damages. Thus begin the comedic adventures of Squid Girl and her fail-filled attempts at invading the surface.
Squid Girl is proud of her squid nature and calls herself the messenger of the sea. If she had things her way, all humans would fear her. Even when she does good things like saving drowning victims she harbors ulterior motives like hoping the grateful will become her servants. However, no one takes her invasion attempts seriously, and for good reason. Her ambitions are unrealistic. Her surface knowledge is patchwork at best. She's easy to manipulate, and quickly influenced by concepts she doesn't fully understand. She is overly simplistic, and often shameless and childish. Her ignorance leads to hilarity such as arguing with her own echo and mistaking killer whale floats for the real thing. Despite all these setbacks, Squid Girl has some good qualities. Her high adaptability allows her to learn math and foreign languages quickly. She befriends nearly everyone she meets, can effortlessly rally elementary school kids with anti-pollution speeches, and has earned a good reputation with the local lifeguard. During her time on the surface Squid Girl has come to care about the humans around her, enough that some have practically become family. Overall she's not much of an invader, but she will never give up on the idea. Aliens can do it, so can she.
Note: In the original Japanese, Squid Girl frequently ends her sentences in '-de geso' (squid tentacle) and emphasizes '-ika' (squid) sentence endings. The English dub tackles this by having her use squid-related puns. The apper will be going with the marine wordplay version of Squid Girl's speech pattern.
Sample Post:
From today forth I will be the Supreme Squid of this place! Do you hear that, all you puny humans? Top squid, and there is nothing you can do to squidly stop me. I see that my comrade has already struck fear into the hearts of many of you, and with good reason. Just take a look at that body of water! It's so filled with filth and waste and rotting dead things that she was forced to come to the surface, you made it that squidding uninhabitable. I don't have an ounce of sympathy for anyone who runs from her in tenterror. This is what happens when you hurt the ocean; messengers of the sea like us come after you~!
But I see that invading all of you was a little too much for just one squid. A squid like her is a majestic, powerful being who ought to be respected and feared by lesser life forms. Did you squidding know? In the ocean, squids are near the top of the food chain, second only to sharks and killer whales. For even her efforts to be thwarted in the end, it must mean that you humans are tougher than cockroaches. All the more reason for us to band tosquidther. You see, Marcy is now my co-invader. She has so graciously allowed me to take the top position because she's so squidding generous, and she believes in my ambitions. She mentioned something about bait and figureheads for some reason, but I totally trust her to know what she's doing. Anyway, it's squidding obvious that your only choice is to fear me on the same level as Marcy. So just be consquidserate and do it without complaint. It'll make things that much squidsier for us all.
The first order of business: bodies of water aren't dumping grounds for trash. I went poking around in there earlier with my tentacles and found bedframes, umbrellas, bicycles, cans, dead bodies - and the bodies weren't even squidding fresh, absosquidly worthless as a food source for the poor fish that somehow manage to keep living there. Dump your trash of society somewhere squidding el-
Ugh. Hold your seahorses I can hardly squidding breathe . . . Where's that stench coming . . . auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh it's a school of smelly society trash approaching, littering their parts everywhere! And they have killer whales with them! Who put you up to this?! That's just tentacruel!

Character: Nai
Series: Karneval
Character Age: Unknown, appears to be about 13-14 years old
Canon: Welcome to the wonderful, wild world of Karneval where the elite defense force also doubles as a fantastical circus group oh-so-creatively dubbed "Circus". Enter Nai and Gareki, two boys who meet under truly explosive circumstances and quickly find themselves running away to Circus only to have it run away with them instead. Everything only gets crazier from here, as the two are swept into intrigue involving the inhuman Valga, the enigmatic Karoku, and the secret behind Nai's mysterious origins.
If you looked up the word "naive" in the dictionary, you'd find a picture of Nai. He is the very definition of the word, reaching a level of childlike ignorance of the world around him that is downright bizarre. He refers to an encounter with blood as "puddles of red water" and is strangely gullible and unaware of reality of the world around him. Despite his ignorance, he's blindingly pure, straightfowardly honest, and tooth-achingly sweet. On top of everything, he also possesses a sense of hearing so uncanny that he is able to detect the almost electronic whine of a bomb on a train... multiple cars away. The truth behind this inhuman ability is exactly that. Nai isn't human. Instead, he is the human transformation of the cute and cuddly niji, an extremely rare type of animal. How and why this came to pass is a mystery to even himself and may hold the key to all the mysterious goings-on in the world of Karneval.

Oh! Oh! Um, excuse me, peely-faced man! I think I'm lost, and I'm having trouble finding the way out of this funny cave. I'm really happy to find someone else down here! Maybe you can tell me how to get out? ...'You fell for it too'? Yeah! I fell down that tunnel back there. It was so dark and slippery and kind of wiggly--
That's not what you meant? Oh, something that lead me in? Well... there were a whole bunch of signs outside of the cave with a bunch of words that were all drawn over. Words like... um... "DANGEROUS" and "NOT REALLY A CAVE WHATSOEVER YOU FOOL" and "MY GOD WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF SELF-PRESERVATION". But then there were these other big, flashing signs that kept popping up like "FREE CANDY" and "PLAY NOW MY LORD" and "YOU MIGHT BE A WINNER". They got really mean and wouldn't go away when I told them to, so I just ran away to the cave instead.
I lost my hat climbing over some pointy rocks, and then I slipped and fell right away because the ground was so wet! And squishy! And, well, I kept hearing some kinda funny breathing noise, but I don't know why a cave would need to breathe. Then I fell down a wet, wriggly tunnel like I told you and ended up here! I know I don't know very much, and it's hard for me to understand lots of things, but I think there's something not right about this cave!
...Why are you hitting yourself in the forehead? You might get hurt!
O-oh. I'm sorry. I guess that hole was there already... Um. Anyway, I'd really like to get out of this cave now. It feels like my shoes are starting to get melty... a little bit like your face! Actually, you're pretty melty all over! So do you have any good ideas? ...We're going to try digging our way out? I didn't know you could dig with your teeth! I wanna try too...! Hey, the ground is starting to move...
A-AH! The whole cave is wiggling around! And I can hear a really strange wooshing-rumbling sound coming--
Ugh! That was a really not-fun way to get out of that cave-that-maybe-wasn't-a-cave. I got lost for a long time in that cave, and all I got was this slimy shirt! Gosh, the melty man with the hole in his head doesn't really look like he enjoyed it either. He left without even bothering to pick up his arm--
--No no no! Go away, sign! I don't care if I've "won a free Nintendo Wii"! I don't even know what a "Nintendo" is!

Character: Lambo Bovino
Series: Katekyou Hitman Reborn http://reborn.wikia.com
Character Age: 5 (sometimes 15, occasionally 25)
Canon: (Katekyou Hitman) Reborn is a story about the Mafia. Sort of. It’s more a story about this kid named Tsuna and everything that goes wrong in his life. A baby named Reborn shows up on his doorstep one day, uses his (Reborn’s) shapeshifting chameleon to shoot magic bullets at Tsuna, which set his forehead on fire and make him an awesome fighter. Some other stuff happens that doesn’t make much more sense than that, and Tsuna finds out he’s set to become the Tenth Generation boss of the Vongola mafia family, whether he likes it or not. All of a sudden he has a whole rogue’s gallery full of new enemies, and a (sometimes) loyal group of Guardians who fight alongside and protect him.
One of these Guardians is a five year old named Lambo Bovino, of the Bovino family. Lambo’s dream is to become the Bovino boss, so in order to prove himself, he travels to Japan in order to kill Reborn (who’s actually the world’s #1 hitman). Instead, he ends up living with Tsuna and becoming an honorary Vongola. Lambo is awesome, and he’ll be the first one to tell you so, but he’s also a big crybaby. He keeps many weapons (grenades, throwing stars, his Pokemon-like box animal) hidden in his afro, but hiis weapon of choice is the Ten-Year Bazooka, which allows the person it hits to trade places with their future self for five minutes. The fifteen year old Lambo is much more softspoken than his toddler counterpart, with a very suave air, but when push comes to shove, he’ll still break down crying in a corner.
Sample Post:
GAHAHAHAHA! The great Lambo-san has arrived at camp! Everyone bow down to me because I’m your new master. My first order as your master is that you hand over all your grape candy at once! If you don’t, I’ll blow you up GAHAHA! The next thing I want is.... for everybody to do a handstand! I can do it, watch me! The great Lambo-san can walk on his hands, GAHAHAHA! Woah... trying to balance... oh no, my horns are gonna fall-- OOF! Owwwwww, that hurt! But the great Lambo-san won’t cry. He’ll tolerate it! He won’t cry!
WAAAAAAAH!! Stop laughing, this isn’t funny! Lambo-san misses Tsuna-mama! Lambo-san wants to go home! This is the stupidest summer camp ever! I’m going to use the Bovino Family’s Ten-Year Bazooka to get out of here!
…Hm? Ah, it seems I’ve exchanged places with my five year old self again. Summer camp, I see? I remember now. What a very strange camp this was-- er, is. It’s even stranger than I remembered. I mean zombies? Really? ...Well, I guess zombies are pretty scary, maybe that’s why I chose not to remember them. Mm? You’re all staring at me. I take it the younger me was doing something ridiculous as usual. Probably ordering you all around, right? That’s the kind of stuff I did as a kid. You’ll have to forgive him, he really just wants to fit in with the big kids. I think that’s why the Tenth’s mother sent me here, so I could make some friends. I think it’s obvious how that turned ou--
GUPYA! ...Huh? I’m back at that stupid camp that Tsuna-mama sent me to. Aw, and I was having the best dinner while I was switched with future me! But wait, what’s that over there? OH! Look, cows! Cows made of METAL! This is the BEST CAMP EVER!

Character: Franziska von Karma
Series: Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
Age: 19
Canon: Ace Attorney is set in an alternate future in a place that's supposedly California. In this future, defense attorneys are given three days to prove their client's innocence in court or else their clients will automatically be found guilty; and all cases are murder. Objections are thrown around, spirit mediums have Gainaxing boobs, pop culture references are made, and the defense attorney's chair might as well have a "kick me" sign plastered on it. It might as well also have"penalize me", "throw coffee at me" and "insult me" signs to boot. And in certain cases when Franziska von Karma is the prosecutor, there definitely should be a "whip me" sign on the defense attorney's chair. You might as well attatch the same sign to the judge's chair, the witness' stand and-- well, it's Franziska von Karma. No one, except for cute little girls and intimidating old men, is safe from a good whipping.
Franziska von Karma is the most perfectly perfect person to ever walk this foolish earth. She is perfect in every way except when she's not, and she wins all the time except when she loses. Her pride is as high as the heavens and her temper is as short as her height. A prodigy prosecutor who's been practicing and terrorizing the court since the age of thirteen, her hobbies include whipping all the things, bragging, making excuses, making giant lapses in logic and using the word "fool" as much as possible.
Sample Post:
I go wherever I am needed and this is not one of those places. I am well aware of where I am. I am in a summer camp, a typical American establishment where middle-class American parents send their children to mingle with other children, write letters on how much they want to go home and catch a variety of strange diseases, insect bites and allergies, so that they could get rid of that furry bag of fleas that their child call a pet. This is a highly inappropriate setting for someone such as myself as I am no longer a child, the amount of money that I earn puts me well above the middle-class, I am not American and I have never found myself having a foolish affinity for creatures of a low pedigree.
Furthermore, it's an absolutely foolish decision made by foolish fools who have no foolish idea on what they're doing to convert this farmhouse into a summer camp considering that most of the animals here don't even belong to a farm. Fine, the robot cows and the goats can stay but the gorillas? The toucans? The zombies? That giant squid that's perched on the silo? How did that even get there? Was this place once located in the middle of the ocean? But I suppose that, given all its arms, it should be effective when it comes to swatting all the mosquitoes away.
But since it seems like I'm going to be here for a while-- which hopefully shouldn't be too long as some of us have more important things to do than singing silly songs over the campfire and setting fire to marshmallows-- I suppose that I should find something worthwhile to do. Are there any horses here? I prefer them to be alive and not dead, and definitely not undead.
Though, come to think of it, that American saying "whip a dead horse" might have sprung from having to fight against zombiefied horses. Hmph, how typically barbaric of them.

Character: Kuroko Shirai
Series: Toaru Majutsu no Index
Age: 13
Canon: In Academy City, the majority of residents are students aspire to become high level espers but unfortunately, only some will ever reach the goal of becoming anything over a level-3. Tokidawai Middle School is the Harvard of esper-based schools and the ideal school for any girl who's goal is to be a powerful young esper which at level-4 with the ability of teleportation, Kuroko undoubtedly is. But despite her impressive skill, Kuroko believes in justice and protecting the weak which is why she is an enlisted member of the student-run peacekeeping force-Judgement. Judgement is well-known for dealing with apprehension of petty crooks but they also tackle smaller tasks such as finding lost objects should the task be requested of them. While Kuroko takes pride in her position, she does find Judgement duties to be tedious at times.
Due to the combined factors of her powers, her education and her work, Kuroko dons a high-and-mighty attitude. Her personality, speech-patterns and mannerisms are similar to that of an aristocratic lady. She’s mature, offers astute observations and has immense self-confidence in herself and at times this can be affronting. However, Kuroko’s ladylike persona warps into one of a creepy pervert when it comes to the subject of Misaka Mikoto who Kuroko affectionately refers to as “onee-sama”. Kuroko often has fantasies that range from weirdly romantic to a level that should get her arrested and she tends to lament dramatically if fateful events get in the way of opportunities to be closer. Despite her lecherous side, Kuroko rarely lets it impact her priorities and remains an overall competent person.
Sample Post:
It seems that even Judgment can make errors with their judgment, for lack of a better word. Really, this was the 'camp' I was supposed to arrive in? I guess there are no standards in America, after all. I can only assume that someone in Judgment must owe a high-powered executive type a favor otherwise why ask me to travel this far for “a group of suspicious Level-1 espers”? They even managed to obtain clearance for me with no trouble at all. How strange. When I return to Academy City, I hope Judgment explains the situation to that troublesome dorm mistress for me. I should have informed her myself but all I remember from our last encounter was a loud snap and my neck has yet to sit properly in days. Honestly, does breaking a rule like "taking another student's possessions without their permission” deserve such harsh punishment?
Either way, how can I be blamed when onee-sama allows her undershorts to be found so easily? What if some obscene intruder barged into our dorm with a fetish for ugly shorts? While ‘taking them’ is an inaccurate description-personally I prefer ‘safe-keeping’-I was merely changing their structure to avoid such a scenario. Some may say it's wrong to tamper but honestly, a beautiful young lady like my onee-sama should wear elegant lingerie instead of those childish and boorish eyesores under her skirt. Maybe after I leave this wretched place, I could browse through one of those upscale American shops I’ve heard so much about. Victoria’s Secret, was it? But based on previous experiences, if I bought onee-sama such a souvenir she would surely reject my good intentions. Maybe I should have just asked her to come along and share this experience with me. Ah, silly Kuroko, why didn’t you ask onee-sama to join? This could have been our first overseas trip! Stupid!
But alas, this was a duty strictly for Judgment. Therefore, completing this mission is my top priority. The faster I accomplish this, the faster I can return home to the comfort of my onee-sama. I suppose the only way to go about it is to start questioning these intriguing campers I’ve been politely ignoring. Onee-sama’s always admired those cartoon frog characters so the one with the bulging eye will be the first.
Excuse me, sir. Not to worry you but have you, by any chance, noticed some strange activities in this vicinity?
… Never mind. It seems you will be of no use to me if both your eyeballs are currently at my feet. 'Disturbing' was putting it lightly. How repugnant. Well, pardon my mistake, but you are most definitely not an esper and should you choose not to back away and rescind your threat of "eating my brains” I will have no choice but to defend myself. No? Since you've courageously but ignorantly placed your filthy hands on me, I do hope you enjoy trying to find your way down that impressively tall tree behind me. That will be harder to do without eyes and a brain.

Franziska von Karma is the most perfectly perfect person to ever walk this foolish earth. She is perfect in every way except when she's not, and she wins all the time except when she loses. Her pride is as high as the heavens and her temper is as short as her height. A prodigy prosecutor who's been practicing and terrorizing the court since the age of thirteen, her hobbies include whipping all the things, bragging, making excuses, making giant lapses in logic and using the word "fool" as much as possible.

I go wherever I am needed and this is not one of those places. I am well aware of where I am. I am in a summer camp, a typical American establishment where middle-class American parents send their children to mingle with other children, write letters on how much they want to go home and catch a variety of strange diseases, insect bites and allergies, so that they could get rid of that furry bag of fleas that their child call a pet. This is a highly inappropriate setting for someone such as myself as I am no longer a child, the amount of money that I earn puts me well above the middle-class, I am not American and I have never found myself having a foolish affinity for creatures of a low pedigree.
Furthermore, it's an absolutely foolish decision made by foolish fools who have no foolish idea on what they're doing to convert this farmhouse into a summer camp considering that most of the animals here don't even belong to a farm. Fine, the robot cows and the goats can stay but the gorillas? The toucans? The zombies? That giant squid that's perched on the silo? How did that even get there? Was this place once located in the middle of the ocean? But I suppose that, given all its arms, it should be effective when it comes to swatting all the mosquitoes away.
But since it seems like I'm going to be here for a while-- which hopefully shouldn't be too long as some of us have more important things to do than singing silly songs over the campfire and setting fire to marshmallows-- I suppose that I should find something worthwhile to do. Are there any horses here? I prefer them to be alive and not dead, and definitely not undead.
Though, come to think of it, that American saying "whip a dead horse" might have sprung from having to fight against zombiefied horses. Hmph, how typically barbaric of them.

Character: Kuroko Shirai
Series: Toaru Majutsu no Index
Age: 13
Canon: In Academy City, the majority of residents are students aspire to become high level espers but unfortunately, only some will ever reach the goal of becoming anything over a level-3. Tokidawai Middle School is the Harvard of esper-based schools and the ideal school for any girl who's goal is to be a powerful young esper which at level-4 with the ability of teleportation, Kuroko undoubtedly is. But despite her impressive skill, Kuroko believes in justice and protecting the weak which is why she is an enlisted member of the student-run peacekeeping force-Judgement. Judgement is well-known for dealing with apprehension of petty crooks but they also tackle smaller tasks such as finding lost objects should the task be requested of them. While Kuroko takes pride in her position, she does find Judgement duties to be tedious at times.
Due to the combined factors of her powers, her education and her work, Kuroko dons a high-and-mighty attitude. Her personality, speech-patterns and mannerisms are similar to that of an aristocratic lady. She’s mature, offers astute observations and has immense self-confidence in herself and at times this can be affronting. However, Kuroko’s ladylike persona warps into one of a creepy pervert when it comes to the subject of Misaka Mikoto who Kuroko affectionately refers to as “onee-sama”. Kuroko often has fantasies that range from weirdly romantic to a level that should get her arrested and she tends to lament dramatically if fateful events get in the way of opportunities to be closer. Despite her lecherous side, Kuroko rarely lets it impact her priorities and remains an overall competent person.

It seems that even Judgment can make errors with their judgment, for lack of a better word. Really, this was the 'camp' I was supposed to arrive in? I guess there are no standards in America, after all. I can only assume that someone in Judgment must owe a high-powered executive type a favor otherwise why ask me to travel this far for “a group of suspicious Level-1 espers”? They even managed to obtain clearance for me with no trouble at all. How strange. When I return to Academy City, I hope Judgment explains the situation to that troublesome dorm mistress for me. I should have informed her myself but all I remember from our last encounter was a loud snap and my neck has yet to sit properly in days. Honestly, does breaking a rule like "taking another student's possessions without their permission” deserve such harsh punishment?
Either way, how can I be blamed when onee-sama allows her undershorts to be found so easily? What if some obscene intruder barged into our dorm with a fetish for ugly shorts? While ‘taking them’ is an inaccurate description-personally I prefer ‘safe-keeping’-I was merely changing their structure to avoid such a scenario. Some may say it's wrong to tamper but honestly, a beautiful young lady like my onee-sama should wear elegant lingerie instead of those childish and boorish eyesores under her skirt. Maybe after I leave this wretched place, I could browse through one of those upscale American shops I’ve heard so much about. Victoria’s Secret, was it? But based on previous experiences, if I bought onee-sama such a souvenir she would surely reject my good intentions. Maybe I should have just asked her to come along and share this experience with me. Ah, silly Kuroko, why didn’t you ask onee-sama to join? This could have been our first overseas trip! Stupid!
But alas, this was a duty strictly for Judgment. Therefore, completing this mission is my top priority. The faster I accomplish this, the faster I can return home to the comfort of my onee-sama. I suppose the only way to go about it is to start questioning these intriguing campers I’ve been politely ignoring. Onee-sama’s always admired those cartoon frog characters so the one with the bulging eye will be the first.
Excuse me, sir. Not to worry you but have you, by any chance, noticed some strange activities in this vicinity?
… Never mind. It seems you will be of no use to me if both your eyeballs are currently at my feet. 'Disturbing' was putting it lightly. How repugnant. Well, pardon my mistake, but you are most definitely not an esper and should you choose not to back away and rescind your threat of "eating my brains” I will have no choice but to defend myself. No? Since you've courageously but ignorantly placed your filthy hands on me, I do hope you enjoy trying to find your way down that impressively tall tree behind me. That will be harder to do without eyes and a brain.
