Character: Sohma Momiji
Series: Fruits Basket
Age: 15

Canon: Momiji emanates sunshine, lollipops, and maybe a few rainbows on
first impression. Although such first impressions usually lead to "What an
adorable little kid in... girl's clothing?", Momiji is actually
a fifteen year old boy! He takes full advantage of looking younger than he
is so he can be loud, spontaneous, and do similarily immature things with
lesser consequences. He has a thoughtful and empathetic side as well,
appreciating things that others take for granted and crying over other
people's pain. Momiji is actually one of the cursed Sohma family members who
transforms into an animal (a rabbit in his case) when embracing the opposite
sex with is own angsty past. He's fairly well-liked in the Juunishi circle,
even if many are often exasperated by his cutesy antics, and he adores
Tohru, the one outsider he's allowed to hug!

Note: Haru's player kindly gave permission for me to use the sign!

Sample Post:
I’ve finally been allowed to come to summer camp! See, see, I wanted to come
re~ally badly because I've never been before and Haru, Aya, and Rin got to
go! I can’t believe everyone came without me, that’s so meeeaan~! And Haru!
You forgot the sign I made just for you! I’m so excited though, I'll
get to make boxes out of popsicle sticks and go canoeing and tell scary
stories around the campfire with marsh-mal-lows~! and ... kyaaa~ this is
going to be so much fun! Momiji's Wonderful Summer Camp Adventure has
begun!

There's also a murder mystery game here too! I've been reading lots of Conan
and Kindaichi so I'm really good at solving mysteries now! Like in one case,
I picked the killer right away because the killer is always the one who's
smallest in the group picture, einsehen? Ah! and I'll need a catch phrase
for when I solve the case like "The killer is always the smallest one!" or
"In the name of Scooby, this case has been locked!" I bet if I solved the
case Toh~ru would be so proud, I'd get a H-U-G~!

Ah! I just thought of a song for camp!

Kamp Flucht du Die!
Kamp Flucht du Die!
Foxes come out of their hidey-holes
And play with their friends the little, blind moles!
We'll sing and play with zombies and -

I just saw someone running past the window and then a whole bunch of other
people were chasing him! Ach so! I bet they're playing "Capture the Thief!",
but the cops are running too slow! I'll go play too and show them how it
should really be played!

This is going to be so much fun!

Character: Filifermanhathrhumneits'elhessaiffnth ("Filif")
Series: Diane Duane's Young Wizards series (specifically the books Wizard's Holiday and Wizards at War)
Age: Unspecified, but equivalent to human teenager

Canon: The role of wizards in this series is to slow down the death of
the universe (also known as entropy) and to continually fight against its creator, the Lone
Power. But even wizards need a break from the never-ending battle, so Filif went on an
exchange program to Earth to learn about human culture and the way Earth wizards did
their duty. This resulted in enormous culture shock, because Filif is not just an alien
wizard. He is an alien wizard shaped like a Christmas tree, so learning about
vegetarianism was like being in a world full of cannibals.

But culture clashes aside, Filif is a very personable sort of tree: curious, friendly, and
very easy-going. He takes almost everything in stride and is eager to learn about human
culture. His favorite discoveries so far are baseball hats and bright colors, even if his
fashion sense is, to put it politely, nonexistent. He calls them "decorations" and prefers
bright orange swim trunks and Victoria's Secret lingerie.

[Note: Dai stih- is simply a greeting. Also, Filif is taken from before Wizards at
War.]

Sample Post:
Dai stih-, everyone of Camp Fuck U Die!

I hope you'll forgive me for the late introduction; I was learning how to operate this
machine when your defense system activated. It is very difficult to use the Internet when
you have these... ghote? life-forms attempting to devour your fronds.

My name is Filif, I am on errantry, and I greet you. I was sent here to find out whether or
not death is impermanent here, because the Powers That Be have heard some strange
rumors about this place. They would have sent an Earth wizard, but I volunteered
instead. (Also, what is this about a panty tree I hear? Someone who
grows decorations? I must see this.)

From my background reading of this camp, it appears the Kindler of Wildfire, the Lone
Power, is personified and lives among you. And yet, you neither tread carefully before It
nor fight It openly? In fact, it seems that It is a benign influence on this place.
It's confusing, because I have seen the other species here that Chose badly when It
offered them death. Those shambling, decaying humanoids... although they don't seem
particularly unhappy about their Choice. I saw a couple of them feeding gleefully
on each other's oral cavities while something floated above their heads.

I expect to be staying here for at most fourteen Earth days. Perhaps someone can direct
me to where the Kindler resides? I'm currently next to the la Ñ

Hm?

One of the humanoids seems to have contracted a disease that makes it sprout bright red
fur all over its body. It's heading right towards me. And it's carrying something, it looks
like Ñ ah, a specimen of Viscum album, the European mistle....toe..

...

Excuse me for a moment.

Character: Akira Ijyuin
Series: Clamp School Detectives
Age: 10

Canon: Akira, a student at the prestigious Clamp School, is at the top of his fourth grade class, excels in both sports and academics. Not only that, but he is also the Elementary School Board's treasurer. He is a renowned cook and is secretly the infamous thief 20 masks!!!! He lives in a mansion with his hyperactive mothers (twin sisters) who are constantly pleading for him to steal something new for them. Always super polite, Akira is a very cheerful boy who cares deeply for his fellow board members ( president Nokoru Imonoyama and secretary Suoh Takamura) and together they form the Clamp School Detectives. Extremely naive and eager to please, Akira will do anything for the people he loves....even steal.

Sample Post:
Hmmm, where to start looking? Ever since Nokoru-sama went missing the whole school has been in a panic. Not to mention poor Takamura-senpai. …He just hasn’t been the same since the president disappeared. All the nice ladies at school though are trying to cheer him up. Before I left he said something about not wanting me to leave him there. Don’t worry though Takamura-senpai! I will find the president and return soon, just wait!

Momma A and Momma B sent me here as 20 Masks to steal a tentacle monster for their fish tank…… however the one I found doesn’t seem to like people much. She’s probably just nervous about making new friends! Don’t worry Tentacle-chan, I’m sure you’ll love it back home! I don’t see why people call them monsters though, they’re just misunderstood and I bet if everyone gave them a chance they would see how wonderful they really are on the inside! Isn’t that right Mr. Zombie? Oh my, are you hungry Mr. Zombie? Well, if you would like to stop chewing on my arm I would be more than happy to cook for you! Of course, you don’t have to stop, I mean, if you prefer gnawing on my arm to my cooking that’s perfectly understandable… I mean, even though everyone says such nice things about my cooking, I don’t really think I’m all that great! There are so many wonderful cooks out there who are probably much better than I am! But if you want me to it’s really no trouble at all, in fact, it’s the least I could do for you! You’ve been such a wonderful escort, I don’t know what I would’ve done if we hadn’t run in to each other!

Ah! I just realized that I haven’t introduced myself properly yet! I am Akira Ijyuin, thank you for all of your help! Honestly, if you hadn’t been so kind as to lead me to the lake, I’d have never found it on my own! I do not wish to speak badly of the gorillas, but they were not very much help, they were friendly, but all they wanted to do was play chase, and I’m in somewhat of a hurry you see. But I'm sure they're just lovely people when you get to know them. And what's your name? Lassy? Oh my! Forgive me! I should have guessed someone with such a vibrant personality as yours was a lady! Don't cry! I think that you are very pretty! ... Ah, a date? I'm sorry, I would, but I'm involved. I'm sure you'll find someone much worthier of you than myself! Forgive me? That's better, a smile is a woman's best asset.

Well, now that I have Mommas’ new pet, I was wondering if you could help me find my president? He’s about thiiisss tall, blonder hair, blue eyes and carries around a fan. No? Are you sure? He’s pretty ah……..showy. Nokoru-sama’s mission in life is to help damsels in distress and from what I heard from Momma A, this place has plenty of them. It’s okay! No need to worry yourself after you’ve already been such a big help! Huh? Candy mountain? What’s that? Sounds like a good place to start searching! Let’s start with lunch thoug- Oh no! I left my apron at home! Well, that and the lack of kitchen doesn't help matters... Hmm? What's that Lassy? Someone fell down the well? A girl??? Ah! Hurry and take me there, if you would be so kind! Wow! Two birds with one stone! Not only do I get to help someone, but where there's a lady in trouble there's sure to be Nokoru-sama!!!

Character: Renge Houshakuji
Series: Ouran Koukou Host Club Anime and Ouran Koukou Host Club Manga
Age: 17

Canon: Renge is, simply put, an otaku. Meaning, if you're from a
fairly well-known game or anime, she will fangirl you like crazy.
Well, either that or try to arrange your life to her standards. There's no
use trying to stop her, for her "only listening to what she wants to hear
and nothing that contradicts her"-fu is strong and you are not gonna be able
to break it down. She judges people by first impressions and looks, despite
it being the polar opposite of the truth. Example would be how she painted
the mental picture of Kyouya, the resident devilish manager who strikes fear
in most everybody's hearts in Ouran, being a caring and perfect
prince made for her~ Needless to say, Kyouya shot that dream down, which
caused her to emo all of 1-2 days before latching onto another person. She
bounces back fast, yes.

So, Renge’s mainly an incredibly overbearing lil dictator who assumes
everyone will do what she says (which they usually end up doing)--a good
example would be her declaration of herself as the Ouran Host Club's
manager.

Sample Post:
Wrong, wrong, wrong! Everything about this camp is wrong! It’s supposed to
instill absolute fear in the ladies, who will immediately swoon in
the arms of their knights in shining armor or their handsome princes on
white horses!

You, overgrown monkeys! That color of purple is vile! Go roll in a mud pit
to get a decent shade of brown that would compliment the natural scenery!

Tentacle Monster. Slimy, fear-inducing and... way too cliched and
uncreative. Next!

Zombies! You’re not supposed to stroll around the camp as if you have all
the time in the worlds to collect brains! Go after the campers like you
mean it! You are to be the main attraction, second only to the
director.

The director will be the perfect antagonist. Shunned by his true love, he
carries out his vengeance on others who had special characteristics like his
ex-fiance. The angst he harbored, the deep homicidal streak he kept in
secret, the naivety he exuded that was not innocent in the least, these were
only some of the qualities the betrayed lover searched for when seeking out
his next victims. I’m sure the director won’t mind the gender switch,
since I hear that she’s never at camp. And the relationship will be that
much more romantic, yet tragic! I’ll have a male camper take her place.
Hopefully I’ll be able to find one with a sinister enough background~!

I shall have to start immediately in order to make this camp perfect! As the
newly appointed manager, I will make sure that the Ouran Host Club - CFUD
Division is the absolute ideal scenario for LOVE! ♥

Character: Shindou Hikaru
Series: Hikaru no Go
Age: 15

Canon: Hikaru is a normal boy with a bratty disposition who, beginning at the age of 13, starts to walk down the path of a Go player. He is singleminded and focuses intently on his goal. Although he is able to quickly adapt to any situation, Hikaru is also stubborn, and once making up his mind will refuse to back down. He is sometimes rowdy and mischievous, and his light-hearted personality makes him pleasant to be around (when he isn't arguing with you). It's sometimes hard to believe that the excited and dedicated boy is the same man who is so intimidating behind the Go board.

Sample Post:
Okay, just type in everything I say starting…now! All right! I'm Shindou Hikaru, and I think I took the wrong train. Although this place looks-er, interesting, I don't have time to stay. Just look at all these different kinds of bugs trying to eat me! They just have to wait for the humidity to finish marinating me. Seriously, this place is a little more overgrown than we're-I'm used to. Without at least a Go salon around, I think I'd go insane. There are tons around where I live, in Tokyo-I failed geography, but is this Hokkaido?

Anyway, wherever I am, I need to get back quickly. I have a match in a few days. It's a very important one. I absolutely, absolutely have to be back in time. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't miss any more games. I have to get back. I'm going to show everyone my strength…and the strength of my stones!

Oh, I need to thank you, Mr. Zombie. See, this guy's typing all this up for me! I'm not really a computer person, so I never bothered to learn how to use a keyboard. But that's okay. Those things don't matter much to me. I just know that this thing should connect to the "internet," so that's enough. Ah, what am I supposed to say here...oh, right! Ell oh ell! I think?

Anyway, I don't know how to reply to anyone on this thing, so if you could help me out, I'll be-ah, by that lake over there, rearranging some pebbles intently. Thanks! And…cut! The end. Man, it's hot. How do you not melt in this kind of heat? I think I'll go for a dip in the lake to cool off while I wa--…AH! Zombie, why are you still typing this? You! Stop typing whatever I'm saying! I'm serious! This entry is over, you stupid undead not-living thing!!

Character: Kazuki Makabe
Series: Soukyuu no Fafner
Age: 14

Canon: Soukyuu no Fafner is a series about teenagers fighting sparkly golden aliens in giant robots to protect their hometown.

Kazuki Makabe is a pilot. He's a very good pilot. He's also kind, helpful, considerate, and polite, but feels that he is none of these things due to an unfortunate incident involving ruining his best friend's left eye when they were about seven years old. Kazuki is also quite good in martial arts and has periodic man-to-man fights with a (different) friend. He does not, however, kill humans. It's against the morals his father taught him.

Sample Post:
I came to work. To build houses for people who needed them. It's something that I can do, that I should do. My new coworkers had obviously been working for a long time: they had their own secret language that I couldn't understand. Gradually, I picked up the basics; braaains meant hammer, a grunt meant nails, please, shebang meant hacksaw. Once I understood that, it was wonderful. We understood each other perfectly and just flowed together. We were here, together. As a team.

I thought they understood. A little bird warned me, but I didn't understand. "When things are too good to be true," it whispered in my ear, "they probably are." I trusted my coworkers, but they didn't trust me. We slept in sleeping bags around a campfire. We were all equal in matching threadbare sleeping bags on the same warm earth. I thought we were, anyway.

I awoke one night, needing to relieve myself. Near our camp, I could hear several familiar voices. My coworkers.
"Urrgh. Graaah. Shebang!" the closest voice said. "Shebang!" several other voices echoed. I heard the grating noise of the hacksaw and an exclamation: "Hey, where's the cream filling?"

The words of the little bird came to me in a flash, and I ran away from our little campfire.

"They're zombies, Kazuki. They'll stop at nothing to eat your brains."

Character: Mozenrath
Series: Aladdin: The Animated Series
Age: Called "barely older than" Aladdin, who is around sixteen

Canon: Meet Aladdin. Aladdin finds a genie. Aladdin has the genie make him into a prince so he can win the heart of a princess. Aladdin's lies are revealed when the genie's lamp is stolen from him and he goes back to normal. Aladdin gets the lamp back, and sets the genie free. Then they all start going on adventures together, and that's the setup of the TV series.

Mozenrath is one of the major villains of the series. He's a young sorcerer who rules a nation called The Land of the Black Sands, having stolen it from its former ruler who'd raised him like a son. His subjects are a race of zombies called Mamlucks who are completely loyal to him, and his flying eel familiar, Xerxes. We never see him commanding anybody or anything else for more than one episode.

Although he has designs on eventual world domination, he's currently made a career out of collecting magical objects and gaining power from them (his main target in most episodes he's in being the genie). He's willing to make major sacrifices in the pursuit of that power, which is made obvious when it's revealed that the gauntlet that he wears on his right arm and gets most of his power from has stripped all the flesh from the arm, leaving only the skeleton beneath it. When that was revealed it was also implied that the real reason he hates Aladdin is because Aladdin was given all the power he could ever desire when he found the genie but isn't interested in using it, while Mozenrath himself had to suffer to earn the power he desires. And, as we discover in his final episode, that isn't all the gauntlet does to him; its magic also slowly kills him, leading to him attempting to take over Aladdin's body in a last-ditch effort to survive.

When his plans are going well he's collected, cunning, arrogant, and even witty. But when his plans fall apart, so does he, becoming increasingly quick-tempered and violent, somewhat paranoid, whiny about how his losing is "unfair", and sometimes even throwing a tantrum when things don't turn out his way. He's also misogynic, and over-confident.

Sample Post:
At last I've found it! The lost city of Campfuckudie! Strange, I'd expected it to look more... empty. And less like a crude gathering of hovels.

Well, no matter. This must be the place. There before me I see the glowing lake Raide Ashun, home to the beast I once read was known for single-handedly destroying a place known as Uranus. I'll have to make sure to capture the creature when I leave. And I saw when I got near the city one of the great purple swamp apes that were supposed to roam the land. Yes, there is no doubt that this is the city I seek.

What I'm searching for is close, Xerxes! So close I can taste it. Somewhere within this city is the secret to eternal life. The legendary creature known as the moogle. With it in my power, there will be nothing I can not do! I'll be able to use the full power of the gauntlet without any fear of the repercussions because my creature will restore me. The rulers of the world may throw their armies against me, but I will rise again! The only plan I'll need to make is what order I wish to conquer the nations of the seven deserts in.

And not even Aladdin will be able to stop me now. Not when he's half a world away, safe and sound in Agrabah, not even dreaming of the power I'm about to get my hands on. Perhaps my first move when I return will be to let the lake beast free on his precious city to test out its power.

...On second thought, no. I wouldn't want share the sweetness of that victory with anything.

Ah, I see that some of my Mamlocks have arrived. I didn't order you fools to follow me here, but I suppose you can be forgiven for wanting to stay faithfully by your master's side. This time. Make yourselves useful, and search the area for a white, winged, bear. Return once you've found it, and I'll begin the spell to capture it.

No, I want you to spread out, you shambling fools! Not follow me! How do you expect to search for the moogle if you're--

Did you just try to bite me? How dare you attempt to harm your master! Leave my sight, and as soon as I'm finished here I'll decide your punishment.

Why aren't you listening to me?

Character: Mimiru
Series: .hack//SIGN (Wikipedia page)
Age: 15

Canon: The World is the biggest online RPG in the world, with over 20 million users. Using head-mounted visual displays, players enter The World and can play through dungeons, form parties, or - as is more often the case - sit around and talk with other players.

In the real world, Mimiru is a 15 year old high school girl, but who cares about the real world? In game, Mimiru plays a young Heavy Blade character. She started out as a solo player in The World before meeting others and making friends with them. Mimiru has strong opinions and she won’t hesitate to tell you if she hates you or finds you annoying. Despite that, she’s friendly and outgoing, just a bit blunt. Being one of the younger players, Mimiru doesn’t always understand what’s going on, but she’s smarter than she thinks she is. She hates quitting in the middle of things and won’t back down from anything, especially people who call her annoying. If she decides to stick with someone and protect them, she’ll do it. Even if they don’t want her to. Because she's stubborn like that.

Note: This app assumes that Mimiru would be trapped in camp as her game avatar and be unable to leave like everyone else.

Is this the new server? I hope it's the new server. It's either that or I've somehow gotten stuck in a really weird hacker place. Only hackers would make a corrupted copy of a summer camp, right? I mean, the lake's the wrong colour, and so are the gorillas. The way my game menu started flashing "NEW CAMPER HOOOOOOOO!" at me has got to be a bug. You never know, though, it could be part of a new publicity gimmick they're trying. A really twisted one.

But hey, if this is the new game server then there's got to be someone here who can help me out. Someone who isn't a zombie. Man, I thought one of those was a player at first. It wasn't acting like a monster at all! I was lost in the woods and saw one just standing there. Didn't attack me right then, so I thought it must have been a person with a hacked character. You know how hackers are, they think everything with choppy graphics and skimpy clothes is great. Anyway, I asked him - okay, "it" - where the town was for this place. And it moved like it was going to point me where to go, but it flipped me off!

...okay, so it only had the middle finger on that hand, but that's not the point and it was just asking for a beating. Didn't even get any experience points... that's so cheap.

I was starting to think this wasn't the new server at all, but I checked my menu and it definitely is. I just saw the name of this place though; Camp Fuck You Die? I can't believe that got through administration. It's not even possible. And even with all these edited characters around-- oh, ugh, someone's added cat ears to their character. This place must be full of creeps with weird fetishes. It's so wrong. Someone should complain! What’s the name of the admin for this place... the Director? Hah, okay, I know what I’ll do.

I’ll post a complaint. In really big font. That’ll show them.
