Character: Kanda Yuu
Series: D.Gray-man
Character Age: 18
Canon: D.Gray Man is based on a world where an Evil Fat Guy(tm) is trying to Destroy Humankind with his minions. The obligatory group of heroes are the exorcists of the Dark Religious Organization. The exorcists are special people who can use Innocence, a strange substance from an ancient society.
Foul mouthed and foul tempered, Kanda Yuu is an exorcist. He's cold, proud and hates people who he thinks is stupid or silly, which is mostly everyone. Kanda sees the world in a negative light, convinced that sacrifices are necessary if someone or something is in the way of his mission's completion. He's easily angered and if he had a gun instead of a sword, would be considered 'trigger happy.'
Sample Post:
How incredibly annoying. What was it Komui said? 'Your new mission: go bring them back to me. Especially Rinali,' I believe. Yes, and I'm sure vanishing constitutes as waiting for their safe return. I don't believe this. Where am I supposed to 'bring them back to' if no one even knows where Komui is? We have an idiot for a supervisor. What possessed him to go look for them on his own without an Exorcist with him? If he had gotten eaten by someone or something, I'd probably have been the one sent to go find whatever had the misfortune to try and digest him. As it is, I'm in the middle of a swamp that Headquarters thinks he was last seen in. What a pain in the ass...
So then, Camp Fuck You Die, I'm looking for four morons. If you've seen them, I'd appreciate being told immediately so I can leave this godforsaken place. Is that a rotting corpse? Lurching in this direction? And why are there more coming out of the trees? Dead people are not supposed to move. WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS? Why would Headquarters send me here? Why would Komui choose to come here? Why would anyone choose to come here? Why am I here? Heads will roll when I get back, no pun intended.
...Che. The walking dead fall apart in a rather sloppy matter. Disgusting. You'd think they would have the courtesy to die with less of a mess. It creates so much trouble for those that kill them. And is there any way to stop them from putting themselves back together again? It's become rather irritating, as satisfying as it had originally been. Perhaps if the whole thing was destroyed at the same time...
Perfect.

Character: Steven Hyde
Series: That 70’s Show
Character Age: 17
Canon: Steven Hyde is a slacker, a stoner, a conspiracy theorist, and a hard rock enthusiast. He’s pretty much a fountain of snark and sarcasm, and he has a particular fondness for dispensing advice regarding the affairs of others, especially relationships (especially when they involve his best friend, Eric Forman, who also happens to be one of his favorite targets for ridicule). Despite his tendency to make a big show of his knowledge regarding women, though, he’s generally extremely apathetic when it comes to actually getting into a long-term relationship himself.
Another notable trait of Hyde’s is his tendency to distrust and despise authority figures, the government in particular. The majority of his conspiracy theories usually focus on the corruption inherent in the government and how big corporations oppress the common man. In actuality Hyde can be, when it comes down to it, a very responsible, mature person. It’s just that he’d really, really rather not be.
Hyde has been plucked out of scenic Point Place, Wisconsin during the midst of season two, which chronologically would be somewhere in late 1977.
Sample post:
Alright, so look. You people have got a real nice place going here. The post-apocalyptic vibe the lake gives off is pretty cool, and I can’t really say anything bad about a place that gives me a shotgun for free. But I’ve got a Zeppelin concert in Chicago to catch and quite frankly if I’m gonna go to a place full of the life-impaired I’d rather have ‘em fat and watching football than your classic Night of the Living Dead variety.
But really, man, I’d like to get out of this place as soon as possible since this sure as hell doesn’t look like any part of Illinois I’ve ever seen. I guess I fell asleep at the wheel of the Vista Cruiser or something because when I woke up I was in the middle of this damn swamp. So if someone could help me pull my ride out of the muck and whatever I’ll be on my way. It may look like a piece of crap but it’s just a little waterlogged… and okay, a little banged up…
… and wait, no, completely totaled. Wow, you people have got some special trees here, don’t you? Forman’s never going stop whining about this one when I get back. Though I guess he was going to do that anyway since I stole his car and all. Anyway.
So I guess I’m staying here longer than expected, so I might as well introduce myself; name’s Hyde and I guess you could call me a crusader against the Man, man. But don’t get too excited or anything; the people who gave me the gun filled me in on the situation with the Director chick and hey, whatever. Common sense dictates that when a chick in the “anger” stage of grief, even if said chick happens to be a power-mad dictator, it’s probably not a good idea to be pushing her buttons, man. And if she’s still fond of kidnapping people and blaming them for her fiancé kicking the bucket? Probably still a bit too early to see if pity sex will solve the problem. So honestly, I’m just going to stay out of this until further notice. Just direct me to where you guys keep the beer and give me the names of some of the looser women in this place and I’ll enjoy this impromptu vacation in peace.
… oh. So beer and sex are outlawed, huh? Well, forget all that shit I said earlier, man; that fascist bitch must pay.

Character: Beavis
Series: Beavis and Butt-head
Character Age: 15
Canon: As the title suggests, Beavis and Butt-head is about
the misadventures of two very special boys by those very names.
Beavis is the more spastic and arguably dumber of the duo, frequently
at the receiving end of Butt-head's (and his own) idiocy.
Beavis is a simple man given to simple pleasures. Like setting
things on fire. And grilling rats and other vermin at his job at
Burger World. And consuming WAY too much caffeine and sugar for his
own good, which leads to the rise of an alter ego named Cornholio,
who hails from Lake Titicaca. And did we mention taking the Beatnik
world by storm when he dazzled all at open mic night at a coffee
house? Maybe, just maybe, his idiotic exterior hides a genius within.
Or maybe he really IS just an idiot.

Character: Gale
Series: Digital Devil Saga
Age: Unknown. Appears to be in his late teens.
Canon: In the post-apocalyptic world of the Junkyard, five Tribes battle one another for supremacy. The prize for coming out on top? An all-expenses-paid trip to Nirvana--quite literally, paradise. The Tribes start out as emotionless battle machines, but a strange flash of light transforms them into something... different. On the one hand, they begin to experience human emotions and memories. On the other hand, they now find themselves turning into cannibalistic demons in battle. Oh, well. You win some, you lose some.
Gale is the strategist and negotiator of the Embryon Tribe. He is cool, calculating, and arguably still the most emotionless of the group, talking practically robotically at times. Despite his intelligence, he regularly fails to comprehend basic concepts like feelings and their consequences, though he slowly gains understanding through the course of the games. ThatÕs not to say that he doesnÕt care about his comrades, though--heÕs very protective of them.
Sample Post:
TIME: 1800 Hours
LOCATION: Secured cave on the outskirts of the large concentration of tall, wooden vegetation.
THREAT LEVEL: Negligible. No enemy Tribes anywhere within range. Original occupant of cave has been dealt with.
OTHER NOTES: I do not comprehend the physical contact the creature in the lake was attempting to initiate with its appendages. Perhaps it was a form of sign language. I will endeavor to learn it to the best of my ability.
All attempts at communication not only failed, but were answered with more of the strange touches, which were extremely unpleasant. I was forced to retaliate, and the creature is now missing one of said appendages. This, I believe, properly conveyed my message--it has retreated for the time being. I do hope our next encounter will be more productive, because in all honesty, it seems to be the most receptive to interaction of any of the lifeforms I have encountered in the area. Certainly better than the... squirrels, I believe theyÕre called, who may be the deadliest creatures I have seen here so far. Or so their uniforms and guns imply.
As of the time I am writing this, I am preparing to venture towards the cluster of buildings in the distance. I am hoping to find humans in residence, however there is a high probability that it is merely a concentration of the rotting demons encountered earlier. If the latter is the case, at least I can be assured of a meal--they eat very wastefully, only consuming the brains of their prey. I doubt they will object to someone making use of the rest.

Character: Irvine Kinneas
Series: Final Fantasy VIII
Age: 17
Canon: SeeDs are elite mercenaries for hire: teenagers, trained in military academies called Gardens to fight using magic and a chosen weapon. To improve their power in battle, powerful incorporeal creatures called Guardian Forces ("GFs") are mentally linked to their users, and are the only means for a human being to use magic. Unless they're a sorceress, who have inherent magical abilities (read: can god-mode themselves out of any situation not involving floating in space).
Despite not yet graduating to full SeeD status, Irvine Kinneas is the top sharpshooter in Galbadia Garden, and has a reputation as a shameless flirt and suave ladies' man: he doesn't hesitate to hit on two of the three female members of the group he's assigned to within minutes of meeting them, get shot down both times, and lengthily complain when reprimanded for it by the third. Not having used GFs until recently, he's also the only one of the group who remembers that they all grew up in the same orphanage, because apparently letting magical creatures live in your brain screws with your memory. Who'da thought?
Sample post:
Hey, baby, what're you doing lyin' down in the mud like that? You seen anyone else walkin' around lost like me recently? Probably wearing a fancy uniform, big scar across his nose, answers much anything you say with "whatever"? It's just I'm here to sit my final SeeD exam, and he's supposed to be supervising. Yeah, yeah, I'm one of the famous mercenaries, we saved the world a few months back. You might have heard of me; Irvine Kinneas? ...you haven't? Dammit.
...So like, maybe you can help me find my friend, anyway. On the way you can show me around a little, I can tell you about how I saved the world, maybe afterwards we can grab some food and sit by [the Lake]? Here, let me give you a hand u- whoa there, I don't need a hand. Let me try and reattach tha... er. ...y-yeah, listen, baby, I gotta run-
...geez, I wondered why she was so quiet. I thought maybe the cat had her tongue... maybe it did. I did see a cat around just before... Anyway! Like I was saying to the lady back there, I'm just here to sit my SeeD exam. And find my friend. ...I guess maybe I should find him first. I don't think he has that great a sense of direction, to be honest. Sometimes he just walks into other people's houses and starts messing with their stuff...
So like, speaking of people's stuff: this is my rifle. Gather 'round, take a look if you're into that kind of thing. She's an Exeter model, takes eight types of amm- hey, hey, fellas! Yeah, you there with the pallor! You should maybe get that looked at. Not so close! You can look, but don't touch. But she is a beauty, isn't she? ...-! Not as much as you are, of course... perhaps we're destined to be together? ...maybe just destined to just get something to eat? ...no?
Ah, well. I guess even dead girls can say no.

Character: Sarugaki Hiyori
Series: Bleach
Character Age: Unknown, but appears as a 10-14 years old girl
Canon: Once upon a time, a group of shinigami committed the ultimate taboo of acquiring hollow's power. Equipped with their zanpukuto and the newly-acquired ugly masks, they become better-stronger-faster and are now known as the vizards. Their backgrounds are unknown; their full powers are unknown; and their true motive, as you can guess by now, is also unknown. The only thing we did know about them is that they're a group of interesting people (ranging from gentle big guy to porn-loving girl), who are helping Ichigo with his training currently.
So, Hiyori is one of these mysterious masked warriors. She's grumpy, rude and hot-headed. If you ever see her around, she's probably doing one of the following: shouting, arguing, beating up Ichigo and fellow vizard, Hirako. However, her best insult is calling people "baldy"; and the verbal and physical abuses are signs of friendship, really. Anyway, even though Hiyori is a proud and confident tomboy, she does have one-to-two-pages of "human-and-shinigami-hate-us" emo and is capable of being frightened. Also, she slaps people with sandal.

Character: Sohma Kagura
Series: Fruits Basket
Age: 19
Canon: Kagura is strong-willed and spirited, sometimes selfless and sometimes scatterbrained, devoted, dramatic, and somewhat of a dreamer. When excited she expresses most emotions through loud and extreme methods of people-swinging, table-wielding and door-massacring, not really realizing what she's doing until there's an ample amount of destruction left in her wake. At times she can be demanding and perhaps a little tactless but her sweet, caring personality and her youngish mannerisms make it easy for any witnesses/victims to forgive such transgressions.
As one of the cursed Sohma (Juunishi), she turns into a boar whenever sick, stressed, or hugged by a non-female non-Juunishi. She used to be violently in love with cousin and prime victim Kyou, cursed with the spirit of the cat, but this interest is nowhere near as strong as it had once been.
Note: Kagura is being taken from the most recent chapter and while she's mainly being drawn from manga canon, her voice is a blend of the two.

Don't worry - I'll take care of it for you - it's the least I can do after flinging you into that tree ... for which I'm sorry by the way, but it's partly your fault for being such a pervert.

Yeah, yeah, I'm one of the famous mercenaries, we saved the world a few months back. You might have heard of me; Irvine Kinneas? ...you haven't? Dammit.
...So like, maybe you can help me find my friend, anyway. On the way you can show me around a little, I can tell you about how I saved the world, maybe afterwards we can grab some food and sit by [the Lake]? Here, let me give you a hand u- whoa there, I don't need a hand. Let me try and reattach tha... er. ...y-yeah, listen, baby, I gotta run-
...geez, I wondered why she was so quiet. I thought maybe the cat had her tongue... maybe it did. I did see a cat around just before... Anyway! Like I was saying to the lady back there, I'm just here to sit my SeeD exam. And find my friend. ...I guess maybe I should find him first. I don't think he has that great a sense of direction, to be honest. Sometimes he just walks into other people's houses and starts messing with their stuff...
So like, speaking of people's stuff: this is my rifle. Gather 'round, take a look if you're into that kind of thing. She's an Exeter model, takes eight types of amm- hey, hey, fellas! Yeah, you there with the pallor! You should maybe get that looked at. Not so close! You can look, but don't touch. But she is a beauty, isn't she? ...-! Not as much as you are, of course... perhaps we're destined to be together? ...maybe just destined to just get something to eat? ...no?
Ah, well. I guess even dead girls can say no.

Character: Sarugaki Hiyori
Series: Bleach
Character Age: Unknown, but appears as a 10-14 years old girl
Canon: Once upon a time, a group of shinigami committed the ultimate taboo of acquiring hollow's power. Equipped with their zanpukuto and the newly-acquired ugly masks, they become better-stronger-faster and are now known as the vizards. Their backgrounds are unknown; their full powers are unknown; and their true motive, as you can guess by now, is also unknown. The only thing we did know about them is that they're a group of interesting people (ranging from gentle big guy to porn-loving girl), who are helping Ichigo with his training currently.
So, Hiyori is one of these mysterious masked warriors. She's grumpy, rude and hot-headed. If you ever see her around, she's probably doing one of the following: shouting, arguing, beating up Ichigo and fellow vizard, Hirako. However, her best insult is calling people "baldy"; and the verbal and physical abuses are signs of friendship, really. Anyway, even though Hiyori is a proud and confident tomboy, she does have one-to-two-pages of "human-and-shinigami-hate-us" emo and is capable of being frightened. Also, she slaps people with sandal.

Ha. Look at y'all! Gettin' yer damn ass injured for stupid reasons. Breakin' yer brand-new computer because of freakin' bad porns. Whinin' about every damn thing in this camp.
"Oh, no. The zombies want my brain."
"Oh, no! The tentacle monster bad touched me."
"Oh, no! The squirrels just declared war with the hamsters. It's the Ultimate Rodents Showdown of Ultimate Destiny! Ninja's gonna explode! Pilot's gonna transform into super-emu! And happy bunny's gonna lose its fuckin' kidney! It's so so so scary!"
...Yeah, right.
So. Y'all think that this place is hell, huh? That's friggin' pathetic! 'Cause this place is freakin' lame!
Look at the animals here. The rooster-eating donkey? Yeah, right, it's really symbolic. Pretty damn sure that the director is a friggin' yaoi fangirl, too. And, the purple gorilla? The only thing these dumbasses are good at is being perverted. LAME! Don't tell me that you have purple pedophilic dinosaur which does nothing but sings happy happy songs, too.
And. Let me tell you somethin', Mr-Purple-and-Furry. If ya try to touch me one more time? I. Am gonna kill you! By pouring hot soup into your fuckin' brain though yer eye socket, yer ear canal and yer nose. Then crush your damn skull into billions pieces. And feed yer medium-rare brain to those friggin' zombies!
Talking about the zombies, though. What the hell's wrong with them, really? Look at them. Moanin' about braaaiiiiiiiins like a freakin' baby. Staggerin' like a friggin' three-legged tortoise. And completely fell apart after a little slap on its face. Even the Made-in-China zombies that can only hop like friggin' bunnies are scarier. Totally worthless piece of shit. Pathetic. And--
Anyone wants some freakin' brain tartare?

Character: Sohma Kagura
Series: Fruits Basket
Age: 19
Canon: Kagura is strong-willed and spirited, sometimes selfless and sometimes scatterbrained, devoted, dramatic, and somewhat of a dreamer. When excited she expresses most emotions through loud and extreme methods of people-swinging, table-wielding and door-massacring, not really realizing what she's doing until there's an ample amount of destruction left in her wake. At times she can be demanding and perhaps a little tactless but her sweet, caring personality and her youngish mannerisms make it easy for any witnesses/victims to forgive such transgressions.
As one of the cursed Sohma (Juunishi), she turns into a boar whenever sick, stressed, or hugged by a non-female non-Juunishi. She used to be violently in love with cousin and prime victim Kyou, cursed with the spirit of the cat, but this interest is nowhere near as strong as it had once been.
Note: Kagura is being taken from the most recent chapter and while she's mainly being drawn from manga canon, her voice is a blend of the two.

Hiro? Sacchan? Isuzu, Haru, Aya? You went camping? I was looking for you for months and never once thought to look for you at an American summer camp! Why didn't you write or call or return after a few weeks like most people would? I ... I ...
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA JUST HOW WORRIED I WAS?!? How could you forget about me like that? I really mean it! How could you?
No answer. H-how cold.
It's okay though - I forgive you! You must not have known I arrived, or you knew there'd be someone out here to escort me. That's it, isn't it Mr. Mascot? By the way, that gorilla outfit is adorable; even though it smells, even though it's faded purple, even though the fur's a little crusty in some unfortunate places it's still charming! Though there are probably better choices than gorilla, aren't there? Like a cat! Or maybe a cute little piggy. Huh - am I into furries? You mean like animals? Of course I am - why, aren't you Mr. Mascot?
Why are you smirking? Well if you don't want me to call you that, you should tell me what you'd like to be called. Haywood Jadoomie? I'm Sohma Ka...w-what are you doing? YOU SHOULDN'T. PROPERLY INTRODUCE YOURSELF. TO A GIRL. SO PERSONALLY!
Eww. How could you let your costume get this disgusting? Look, my hands are greasy. Don't worry - I'll take care of it for you - it's the least I can do after flinging you into that tree ... for which I'm sorry by the way, but it's partly your fault for being such a pervert. No, I didn't ask for it. I did not. Be quiet! Just ... give me ... where's the zipper? ... no ... not there ... stop being so stubborn and ... w-wait! Come back!
I got left behind.
