Character: Atobe Keigo
Series: Prince of Tennis
Age: 14/15
Canon: He's rich, he's talented, he's Atobe Keigo of Hyoutei Gakuen. In a school known for its tennis, he's at the very top of it all, captaining the two hundred plus team with ease, charisma, and a flair for the dramatic. Proud and showy, and though he's got something of a massive ego, he's still a hard worker and dedicated to his team. Rather pompous besides, he's known to refer to himself as "Ore-sama", which can roughly be translated into "my great self" (in the first person). Quite self-centered. Even so, the things he boasts, he can back up. And yes, he's also filthy rich, and used to living in wealth and luxury.
But in the end, tennis >>> everything. Which means he's somewhat obsessive over Tezuka, and Sanada, because they've beat him, and he's got his pride, yo. Not like Inui with the stalkage, but given the chance, he will declare challenge.
For those who care, I'm taking him mostly from the manga, which means less of the Mizuki-esque flamboyance. Also, before his Nationals game against Echizen, (as a matter of fact, before Hyoutei even plays Seigaku) because Konomi's a bastard who is delaying on showing anything. By the way, Hyoutei can be translated to "Ice Empire", and Konomi does play with the name by making Atobe's newest move "Ice World".

I demand that you let me out of here.
I do understand, however, why one might want to capture my great self, and indeed, I must commend you for your... novel approach. At the very least, I've certainly never heard of using a vending machine to kidnap someone. However, you'll find that I would be much more open to negotiation were you to let me out of it. As ridiculous as it was, I won't even ask how the machine... vacuumed me in. By all respects, such a thing should be physically impossible, though undoubtedly, it was a trick of the light and special effects. What else could it be? Ahn? What is it that you want? Money? Revenge? Did a business deal with my father go wrong? I'll have you know I have little to do with his transactions, though if it's such a matter I'm sure something could be worked out. If it's tennis, then perhaps we have some common ground, hm?
Still, we shall get nowhere unless you let me ou-- unf. Ahem. Thank you. Perhaps I should have phrased my request better. "Return me to the courts", though I had no idea I would need to be more specific. I'm afraid I may have overestimated you. Certainly, I didn't expect your cowardice, as you dumped me into this cesspool of a jungle. You could at least give me the courtesy of speaking with me face to face. A rather significant match is about to take place, and--
You want to know if I'm implying that a tennis match is more important than the death of the Director's dear beloved. I am truly sorry for her loss, but I fail to see how it has anything to do with me. Excuse me! Cease with the manhandling of the gorillas, or I'll...
Amusing, very amusing. For your sake, I will hope that this ice melts soon. Ahn? You doing me a favor? Sir... I didn't catch your name. Mmhm, I'm to call you "Camp". Well, if you'd like. In any case, I highly doubt you would recognize such a thing as a favor were it to slap you in the face-
Just a moment. You say Tezuka is here. That's ridiculous, I just saw his match against Kite Eishirou. Do you take me, Atobe Keigo, for a fool?

Character: Tara Maclay
Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Age: 19
Canon: Buffy the Vampire Slayer is essentially the inverse of the horror film genre, where the small blonde girl does not die first, but instead kicks ass and takes names with snappy and witty repartee. Tara Maclay is not this girl. Instead, Tara is a sophomore at the University of California Sunnydale. She's also a witch, but considering that this is Sunnydale, the question is, who isn't?
Understanding, caring and very sweet, Tara is quite earnest about almost everything she does. She's a loyal and devoted friend with a strong set of principles of what is right and not. Her first appearance on the show has her as physically ungainly and clumsy, awkward and shy; however she comes into her own as the show progresses. After being introduced to the "Scooby Gang" by Willow (whom Tara later has a relationship with) Tara becomes the mother figure and advisor for the group, something which is sorely needed when the saviour of the world is an adolescent girl from LA.
Tara is being taken from season five.

When I set up the location spell, I asked for "salvation", not "sanitation". And I think that everyone else here is embracing the college life a little too much and needs sanitation more than I ... oh. All the kids are zombies. Is that normal? I didn't think that was normal. That's more like those fun hellmouth things: vampires, demons and those finals I just did -- that sort of thing. Finals have to be a hellmouth-y thing because nothing can be that evil and not come from the lowest levels of hell. Are there test demons who send people to horrible demon-y dimensions when they fail exams? And the worse you fail the tests, the worse dimensions you get put in and then if you escape, you become a professor? Now I know why professors say they go through hell. I can't see any other reason why someone would want to watch a bunch of people freaking over not knowing what "Il reste vingt-quatre jours de classe avant la fin du semestre" means. What does that mean? Not that it was on my last test or anything, just ... you know, curious.
Um, so hey, about that, how about those gorillas? They really are like freshman boys, right down to the taunting of the tentacle demon in the lake. I don't think it likes being poked with a sharp stick, and I wish the gorillas would stop. It's like watching a psychology class, but without the bored students. Also, I feel sorry for the tentacle demon; it's never fun to have gorillas hit you. Or anything, really. Not that I mind, really, but I didn't think getting my shoes from the wardrobe would result something hitting me and then wacky fun involving being sent to a netherworld Narnia. If an underworld universe was attached to the other side of the wardrobe, I would have found it by now. I spent enough time in a closet, after all. I was too loud, wasn't I? They're looking at me now. At least I'm up a tree -

Character: Kikumaru Eiji
Series: Prince of Tennis
Age: 14
Canon: Prince of Tennis or PoT for short is a [crack] anime/manga where the laws of physics are totally ignored, reinvented and questioned, tennis moves can be applied into anything(mainly sports), and everyone on the teams are pretty much, you guessed it, gay. Kikumaru Eiji is no expectation. Third year student at Seishun Academy Middle School, a regular on the Seigaku team, one half of the famous 'Golden Pair(the other: Shuichiro Oishi)', Eiji's goal, along with his fellow regulars, is to head and win the Nationals and become number one in all of Japan.
Eiji is known for his acrobatic style tennis - leaping, diving, twisting and other gravity defying moves that turn into many different semi-impossible positions to get the ball. His 'Kikumaru beam' is his most famous return move where he hits the ball from behind his back. He's the youngest of a huge family and has an upbeat personality. Plus, it could be the reason for his childish ways and being prone to spazzing. He's also quite friendly, sweet-tempered, outgoing and has a habit of giving people nicknames. While pulling off some of his tennis moves, he is often seen saying 'Hoi(a word with no meaning whatsoever)' and sometimes adding 'Nya' at the end of some of his sentences. His hobbies includes brushing his teeth with his precious toothpaste(he gets easily angry if someone uses it) and touring pet shops due to his love of animals.
Sample Post:
Something tells me I'm no longer in Japan anymore. There are zombies all over this place. When I saw that horror movie with Momo and Ochibi, those things try to eat human flesh. Mostly brains right? Because to them brains are meat right? If that's true, then I'm-Gah! Stop that! I didn't say it was meat for you, you dead things! Hey. Why does that zombie have my backup tennis racket? You want to challenge me to a tennis match? Fine. Be prepared for Kikumaru-same's awesome acrobatic style tennis. Hoi!
...I've been walking for hours. After beating that dumb zombie(s), I'm hungry, tired, thirsty and still I can't find a way out of here. Ugh. It feels like hell. There's barely any sun and I know for a fact that clouds are not an odd black color. Maybe I am in hell-oh wait, is that a lake? WATER! Thank you god buddha and...huh? Why is the lake bubbling and sizzling? Do all lakes do that? Kind of reminds of Inui's juice. Nah. His juice looks and smells a lot worse. Oh! I know! It's probably a special lake filled with soda. Awesome! Lake soda, lake soda, lake soda. Well, time to drink up.
OH MY GOD! The taste is awful. Pft, pft, pft. It tastes like crap! ...not that I've ever tasted crap before, I mean. Ah! Hey! You radioactive glowing furball, get away from my bag-that's my super lovely chocolate strawberry flavor toothpaste sis just got me! Give that back or you're going to eat tennis balls for dinner you blue ugly chipmunk with oversize teeth!...Uh-oh.
If anyone happens to see a red head screaming like a girl and running really, really fast, point me towards the nearest exit or someplace I could hide. Anything will do. Nya! And all I wanted was to see my idols, The Chocolates, in concert. NYA!

Character: Kanda Yuu
Series: D.Gray-man
Age: 18
Canon: Working for The Black Order, Kanda Yuu is one of nineteen exorcists traveling around the world to find Innocence, a mysterious and powerful material left behind by an ancient civilization. He, along with the others, is trying to stop the Earl of Millennium who wants to destroy all Innocence and send the world into darkness.
Kanda takes his job very seriously. He doesn't have time to waste on playing games or putting up with idiots who are beneath him. This includes pretty much everyone. He is a cold and prissy bitch who is quick to anger and can fuck your shit up six ways from Sunday. Literally. If you're being a retard, you'll know. Kanda isn't one to mince words. Despite all this, Kanda does have a few good points and a somewhat...softer side. He is loyal, strong, diligent in his work and he won't go down without a fight. His Innocence manifests itself as a sword called "Mugen" and is his best friend.
Sample Post:
Three exorcists and a head officer go missing in some sort of "camp" that "won't let people leave;" if the birds are to be trusted, that is. So, the obvious choice, then, is to send in yet another one. That way, we'll be down four exorcists and a head officer. A brilliant plan, really. I know I'm impressed with the strategic stupidity my superiors have shown with this mission. Besides, it isn't as if the one I was already on was important, nor the fact that I was doing actual work for the organization.
And what is the purpose of this "camp," anyway? The whole idea seems rather asinine. So, you've got zombies and the trees that touch people in inappropriate places. Damn it, I don't think that sap is ever coming out. Just wait until management hears about this. I mean, all things considered, I don't really see why every one's complaining. This stuff is a cake walk compared to the normal deal we get back home. Have you ever had a hideous, talking ball of death rip out of a person's skin and try to kill you? No? I didn't think so. And it could always be worse. You could become one yourself. Then I'd have to kill you. Nothing personal.
Oh. And just so that we're all clear, by the way? I have a zero tolerance policy on sexual harassment that I have no qualms enforcing. When I say no, I actually mean no. Not "yes," or "please, sir, may I have some more?" And this encompasses all of me, including my hair. I know it's shiny and I'm sure that's something most of you are easily distracted by, but just because you can't keep your hands to yourself doesn't mean I have to take it and like it. This goes double for the lady of the lake, though I'm sure our little talk earlier settled everything rather nicely. I doubt she'll be bothering me again.
But enough about that. The name's Kanda Yuu. And don't bother introducing yourselves, because I don't care. I'm just here to look for the bean sprout who sometimes goes by Allen Walker, Rinali and Komui Lee, and a guy with a ridiculous mallet named Rabi. If any of you have any ideas on their whereabouts, let me know. We're going to sit down and have a nice, long chat.

Character: Panthera
Series: Chronicles of Wraeththu (specifically, the third book, The Fulfilments of Fate and Desire) (Wikipedia,
Storm Constantine's Official Site)
Age: 10-13 in Wraeththu years, 17-20 or so in human years
Canon: The first glimpse of Panthera in the
Chronicles of Wraeththu is when Cal, reduced by a
variety of factors to prostitution, hears an agonized
scream in the darkness. He soon learns Panthera, a
seductive and deadly beauty who was sold into slavery
at his coming of age, was the source of the "single,
desparate wail." Cal helps Panthera escape the
whorehouse, and they travel together until Cal's
Destiny (yes, with a capital D) tears them apart. The
proud and angry son of a noble family, Panthera is an
artist, a wit, and capable of kicking a good-sized
Wraeththu's neck in without much visible effort. Three
years of rape have made Panthera cynical, bitter, and
uneasy about sexual contact, but as he travels with
(and falls for) Cal, his softer side begins to emerge.
Which, is, okay, still not so soft. But his paintings
are really quite lovely?
Sample Post:
This 'laptop' makes a certain
amount of sense, and the shotgun has already proved
itself necessary. But I cannot make sense of this
"camp uniform" with my name spelled incorrectly,
bearing the slogan 'Born to Rock and Roll." What is
'rock and roll' and why would I be born to do it?
...at any rate, my name is Panthera, not
Pantera, and perhaps a well-told tale will grant me
passage through this 'barrier'? Sadly, I know none
with the walking dead, which might be more to your
tastes. But perhaps something with a bit of blood and
intrigue....
Once there was a young and beautiful Har who was freed
from slavery and chose to accompany his benefactor on
a journey to find his destiny. Their travels were
fraught with frustration and peril, and made quite a
dent in the Har's pocketbook. Every question answered
seemed only to lead to larger, deeper mysteries, until
the Har found himself in a deep forest.
Soon something large and lumbering approached.
"Braaains," it moaned.
When the smoke cleared, the Har found himself covered
in viscera and out of ammunition. A large, colorful
bird told him in mindspeech that he was in a 'summer
camp,' filled with oversexed teenagers who couldn't
actually have sex, adults longing for a drop of
alcohol, strange wildlife, and bizarre viruses and
mists that changed people's appearance and character.
"You're joking," the Har said, but then he saw the
line of dancing, singing squirrels and began to have
his doubts....
...that did not come out exactly as I had intended.
But, at any rate, it should be enough of a tale to
grant me passage, yes?
No?
It's true, what the bird said? No alcohol, and no sex?
I suppose I could stay here for a while, then. It's
actually not so bad, is it? Rustic. The squirrels are
in tune, at least. Does anyone have any spare shotgun
shells?

Character: Duo Maxwell
Series: Gundam Wing
Age: 15
Canon: Duo calls himself the God of Death, and is the pilot of Deathscythe and Deathscythe Hell (or, in the slightly watered-down dub version, he's the Great Destroyer and pilots the Deathschythe and a Gundam that remains strategically unnamed. Which is better than 'Deathscythe Home for Infitine Losers' or something). During the series, he starts out fighting for the space colonies that want independence from the earth-based Alliance.
Despite a typical angsty Gundam past, Duo seems like a relaxed, cheerful charmer that loves to talk. He's an expert salvager, a thief, and decent in a fight.
Sample Post:
Man, not one of my better crash landings, that's for sure. I probably woulda given it a higher rating if it was someone else that did the exploding. What a wreck... this heap's good for nothing but salvage and scrap metal now. I guess I should be thankful just to be alive -- and it's not like this is so bad as far as a place to be stranded goes. A guy could get used to the fresh air and trees.
Only problem is I don't know where this is. I think I would've heard of a country called 'Camp Fuck You Die', it's a pretty unique title and all, but it just doesn't ring any bells. The welcoming party wasn't much of a help either. In hindsight, I shouldn't have expected too much of seven guys in gorilla get-ups. They really need to lighten up a little, enjoy themselves, relax -- y'know, take a nap or pick up a hobby or something. I hear knitting really soothes the nerves. So their parents named 'em after their personalities or whatever -- Sleepy, Grumpy, Dopey, Bashful, Sneezy, Doc, and Flamboyantly Gay -- I'll admit that's pretty bad, but not the worst. They coulda been stuck with being named after numbers.
Anyway, these guys've been telling me all about the director you've got running the place. I'll admit she sounds pretty impressive -- barriers, weird viruses, liquor control -- but it sounds like it's all flash, zero substance, nothing the God of Death couldn't handle (after a decent meal, of course). Eh, maybe I'm just jaded, since I happen to know a guy that can hide a 9MM semi-automatic in spandex shorts. I'd like to see this 'director' of yours top that.
...Huh? "She tops all"? Just whaddaya mean by that? Hey! I'm talking to you! Man, these apes have zero communications skills.

Character: Uehara Miyako
Series: Pani Poni Dash!
Age: 15-16 (first year of high school)
Canon: Miyako is the "study bug" of Class 1-C, although she'll flail at you if you call her that to her face. Don't worry, though; she'll probably find a reason to flail at you anyway. In dealing with her crazy life, Miyako usually radiates an aura of long-suffering irritation with a heaping side of angry spaz. She'd much rather be cramming for a test than doing anything else, but she's always guilted, forced, or bribed into joining the rest of her friends on their wacky adventures anyway. Although she has a better sense of the strangeness of her reality than most of the cast, she too has been known to get caught up in the moment and accept the unspeakably bizarre with a sigh and a resigned smile.
Her everyday life revolves around studying--not that it does much good, because she's still only 55th in her class overall--and Miyako's shown herself to be perfectly capable of blocking out the world entirely if she's intent enough on her work. Disturb her and you're likely to find yourself in a world of hurt, or watching Miyako have a small breakdown as she phases back in with her canon's special brand of reality.
Miyako is also "blessed" with an extremely large and shiny forehead, which is reflective enough to be used by the rest of the cast as a mirror--and to force them to don sunglasses or welding masks on occasion just to look at her. Other geeks glasses-flash; Miyako is so hardcore that she face-flashes.

"Zombies?" "Toucans?" "Tentacle monster?" These flashcards are absolutely worthless! No entrance exam in the world is going to ask me to know words like those! I demand to know where I can find the--"one who makes decisions or exercises authority: Director." Well, all right, that one sounded accurate enough. But--
Excuse me, everyone! Pardon my English, but I'd like to take--"a sample of public opinion to acquire information: a serious poll." Is that really the proper term? Oh, nevermind! Do you really mean to tell me that I'm supposed to memorize this crap?! I refuse to waste my time studying slang I'll never use! Why would anyone ever need to conjugate the verb "to badtouch," anyway? That's not even a word!
And this community's multiple choice quizzes need a little more scholastic focus if you people actually want to get into decent universities. How did you even get into high school? Put a moment's thought and some pride into your work! A proper standardized test demands, for example, that you show math skills far beyond "What percent seme are you?" Summer's almost over and you're wasting time! Do you really think crap like that is going to be on the Camp Final You Exam?
...What do you mean, "yes"?
Dammit! Be quiet, everyone, I've got serious cramming to do here! I'm not being dragged down by idiots this time! Oh, sure, something will come up to distract me, same as it always does! "Oh, Miyako, you've got to help us, the counselors have been kidnapped by mole people!" Well back off and deal with it yourselves! I have universities to apply to! I have the rest of my life ahead of me! I have--
GOD DAMN YOU, WILL YOU GET YOUR ROTTEN MOUTH OFF OF MY FOREHEAD? I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DEAL WITH OPEN WOUNDS!
...Aha ha haaaa, right, let's get to work on conjugating those verbs! "I badtouch; we badtouch; I am badtouched; we are badtouched"...

If anyone happens to see a red head screaming like a girl and running really, really fast, point me towards the nearest exit or someplace I could hide. Anything will do. Nya! And all I wanted was to see my idols, The Chocolates, in concert. NYA!

Character: Kanda Yuu
Series: D.Gray-man
Age: 18
Canon: Working for The Black Order, Kanda Yuu is one of nineteen exorcists traveling around the world to find Innocence, a mysterious and powerful material left behind by an ancient civilization. He, along with the others, is trying to stop the Earl of Millennium who wants to destroy all Innocence and send the world into darkness.
Kanda takes his job very seriously. He doesn't have time to waste on playing games or putting up with idiots who are beneath him. This includes pretty much everyone. He is a cold and prissy bitch who is quick to anger and can fuck your shit up six ways from Sunday. Literally. If you're being a retard, you'll know. Kanda isn't one to mince words. Despite all this, Kanda does have a few good points and a somewhat...softer side. He is loyal, strong, diligent in his work and he won't go down without a fight. His Innocence manifests itself as a sword called "Mugen" and is his best friend.

Three exorcists and a head officer go missing in some sort of "camp" that "won't let people leave;" if the birds are to be trusted, that is. So, the obvious choice, then, is to send in yet another one. That way, we'll be down four exorcists and a head officer. A brilliant plan, really. I know I'm impressed with the strategic stupidity my superiors have shown with this mission. Besides, it isn't as if the one I was already on was important, nor the fact that I was doing actual work for the organization.
And what is the purpose of this "camp," anyway? The whole idea seems rather asinine. So, you've got zombies and the trees that touch people in inappropriate places. Damn it, I don't think that sap is ever coming out. Just wait until management hears about this. I mean, all things considered, I don't really see why every one's complaining. This stuff is a cake walk compared to the normal deal we get back home. Have you ever had a hideous, talking ball of death rip out of a person's skin and try to kill you? No? I didn't think so. And it could always be worse. You could become one yourself. Then I'd have to kill you. Nothing personal.
Oh. And just so that we're all clear, by the way? I have a zero tolerance policy on sexual harassment that I have no qualms enforcing. When I say no, I actually mean no. Not "yes," or "please, sir, may I have some more?" And this encompasses all of me, including my hair. I know it's shiny and I'm sure that's something most of you are easily distracted by, but just because you can't keep your hands to yourself doesn't mean I have to take it and like it. This goes double for the lady of the lake, though I'm sure our little talk earlier settled everything rather nicely. I doubt she'll be bothering me again.
But enough about that. The name's Kanda Yuu. And don't bother introducing yourselves, because I don't care. I'm just here to look for the bean sprout who sometimes goes by Allen Walker, Rinali and Komui Lee, and a guy with a ridiculous mallet named Rabi. If any of you have any ideas on their whereabouts, let me know. We're going to sit down and have a nice, long chat.

Character: Panthera
Series: Chronicles of Wraeththu (specifically, the third book, The Fulfilments of Fate and Desire) (Wikipedia,
Storm Constantine's Official Site)
Age: 10-13 in Wraeththu years, 17-20 or so in human years
Canon: The first glimpse of Panthera in the
Chronicles of Wraeththu is when Cal, reduced by a
variety of factors to prostitution, hears an agonized
scream in the darkness. He soon learns Panthera, a
seductive and deadly beauty who was sold into slavery
at his coming of age, was the source of the "single,
desparate wail." Cal helps Panthera escape the
whorehouse, and they travel together until Cal's
Destiny (yes, with a capital D) tears them apart. The
proud and angry son of a noble family, Panthera is an
artist, a wit, and capable of kicking a good-sized
Wraeththu's neck in without much visible effort. Three
years of rape have made Panthera cynical, bitter, and
uneasy about sexual contact, but as he travels with
(and falls for) Cal, his softer side begins to emerge.
Which, is, okay, still not so soft. But his paintings
are really quite lovely?

This 'laptop' makes a certain
amount of sense, and the shotgun has already proved
itself necessary. But I cannot make sense of this
"camp uniform" with my name spelled incorrectly,
bearing the slogan 'Born to Rock and Roll." What is
'rock and roll' and why would I be born to do it?
...at any rate, my name is Panthera, not
Pantera, and perhaps a well-told tale will grant me
passage through this 'barrier'? Sadly, I know none
with the walking dead, which might be more to your
tastes. But perhaps something with a bit of blood and
intrigue....
Once there was a young and beautiful Har who was freed
from slavery and chose to accompany his benefactor on
a journey to find his destiny. Their travels were
fraught with frustration and peril, and made quite a
dent in the Har's pocketbook. Every question answered
seemed only to lead to larger, deeper mysteries, until
the Har found himself in a deep forest.
Soon something large and lumbering approached.
"Braaains," it moaned.
When the smoke cleared, the Har found himself covered
in viscera and out of ammunition. A large, colorful
bird told him in mindspeech that he was in a 'summer
camp,' filled with oversexed teenagers who couldn't
actually have sex, adults longing for a drop of
alcohol, strange wildlife, and bizarre viruses and
mists that changed people's appearance and character.
"You're joking," the Har said, but then he saw the
line of dancing, singing squirrels and began to have
his doubts....
...that did not come out exactly as I had intended.
But, at any rate, it should be enough of a tale to
grant me passage, yes?
No?
It's true, what the bird said? No alcohol, and no sex?
I suppose I could stay here for a while, then. It's
actually not so bad, is it? Rustic. The squirrels are
in tune, at least. Does anyone have any spare shotgun
shells?

Character: Duo Maxwell
Series: Gundam Wing
Age: 15
Canon: Duo calls himself the God of Death, and is the pilot of Deathscythe and Deathscythe Hell (or, in the slightly watered-down dub version, he's the Great Destroyer and pilots the Deathschythe and a Gundam that remains strategically unnamed. Which is better than 'Deathscythe Home for Infitine Losers' or something). During the series, he starts out fighting for the space colonies that want independence from the earth-based Alliance.
Despite a typical angsty Gundam past, Duo seems like a relaxed, cheerful charmer that loves to talk. He's an expert salvager, a thief, and decent in a fight.
Sample Post:
Man, not one of my better crash landings, that's for sure. I probably woulda given it a higher rating if it was someone else that did the exploding. What a wreck... this heap's good for nothing but salvage and scrap metal now. I guess I should be thankful just to be alive -- and it's not like this is so bad as far as a place to be stranded goes. A guy could get used to the fresh air and trees.
Only problem is I don't know where this is. I think I would've heard of a country called 'Camp Fuck You Die', it's a pretty unique title and all, but it just doesn't ring any bells. The welcoming party wasn't much of a help either. In hindsight, I shouldn't have expected too much of seven guys in gorilla get-ups. They really need to lighten up a little, enjoy themselves, relax -- y'know, take a nap or pick up a hobby or something. I hear knitting really soothes the nerves. So their parents named 'em after their personalities or whatever -- Sleepy, Grumpy, Dopey, Bashful, Sneezy, Doc, and Flamboyantly Gay -- I'll admit that's pretty bad, but not the worst. They coulda been stuck with being named after numbers.
Anyway, these guys've been telling me all about the director you've got running the place. I'll admit she sounds pretty impressive -- barriers, weird viruses, liquor control -- but it sounds like it's all flash, zero substance, nothing the God of Death couldn't handle (after a decent meal, of course). Eh, maybe I'm just jaded, since I happen to know a guy that can hide a 9MM semi-automatic in spandex shorts. I'd like to see this 'director' of yours top that.
...Huh? "She tops all"? Just whaddaya mean by that? Hey! I'm talking to you! Man, these apes have zero communications skills.

Character: Uehara Miyako
Series: Pani Poni Dash!
Age: 15-16 (first year of high school)
Canon: Miyako is the "study bug" of Class 1-C, although she'll flail at you if you call her that to her face. Don't worry, though; she'll probably find a reason to flail at you anyway. In dealing with her crazy life, Miyako usually radiates an aura of long-suffering irritation with a heaping side of angry spaz. She'd much rather be cramming for a test than doing anything else, but she's always guilted, forced, or bribed into joining the rest of her friends on their wacky adventures anyway. Although she has a better sense of the strangeness of her reality than most of the cast, she too has been known to get caught up in the moment and accept the unspeakably bizarre with a sigh and a resigned smile.
Her everyday life revolves around studying--not that it does much good, because she's still only 55th in her class overall--and Miyako's shown herself to be perfectly capable of blocking out the world entirely if she's intent enough on her work. Disturb her and you're likely to find yourself in a world of hurt, or watching Miyako have a small breakdown as she phases back in with her canon's special brand of reality.
Miyako is also "blessed" with an extremely large and shiny forehead, which is reflective enough to be used by the rest of the cast as a mirror--and to force them to don sunglasses or welding masks on occasion just to look at her. Other geeks glasses-flash; Miyako is so hardcore that she face-flashes.

"Zombies?" "Toucans?" "Tentacle monster?" These flashcards are absolutely worthless! No entrance exam in the world is going to ask me to know words like those! I demand to know where I can find the--"one who makes decisions or exercises authority: Director." Well, all right, that one sounded accurate enough. But--
Excuse me, everyone! Pardon my English, but I'd like to take--"a sample of public opinion to acquire information: a serious poll." Is that really the proper term? Oh, nevermind! Do you really mean to tell me that I'm supposed to memorize this crap?! I refuse to waste my time studying slang I'll never use! Why would anyone ever need to conjugate the verb "to badtouch," anyway? That's not even a word!
And this community's multiple choice quizzes need a little more scholastic focus if you people actually want to get into decent universities. How did you even get into high school? Put a moment's thought and some pride into your work! A proper standardized test demands, for example, that you show math skills far beyond "What percent seme are you?" Summer's almost over and you're wasting time! Do you really think crap like that is going to be on the Camp Final You Exam?
...What do you mean, "yes"?
Dammit! Be quiet, everyone, I've got serious cramming to do here! I'm not being dragged down by idiots this time! Oh, sure, something will come up to distract me, same as it always does! "Oh, Miyako, you've got to help us, the counselors have been kidnapped by mole people!" Well back off and deal with it yourselves! I have universities to apply to! I have the rest of my life ahead of me! I have--
GOD DAMN YOU, WILL YOU GET YOUR ROTTEN MOUTH OFF OF MY FOREHEAD? I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DEAL WITH OPEN WOUNDS!
...Aha ha haaaa, right, let's get to work on conjugating those verbs! "I badtouch; we badtouch; I am badtouched; we are badtouched"...
