Character: Sakon and Ukon
Series: Naruto
Age: 14
Canon: Sakon and Ukon are ninjas and happen to be henchmen of
one of the worst villains in Naruto, Orochimaru.
Sakon is the strongest of the original Four Sounds and is quite aware
of that fact. Smart, violent, quite foul mouthed, and possessing a
wicked temper, Sakon has arrogance to spare. He looks down on or
insults nearly everyone. And he's strong enough to get away with it,
usually. His arrogance and temper lead him to pursue enemies and
fights past where he should back off and he utterly hates to lose or
give up. But he can behave and even be semi-polite when he needs to
be.
Ukon is Sakon's older twin brother and spends most of his time napping
inside Sakon's body. While asleep he appears as a second head emerging
from Sakon's upper back and is completely ignored. No one ever talks
to or about him at all in public except when he and Sakon are
intending to kill the listeners. He also never speaks or moves in
front of others unless in battle. Ukon's temper and arrogance are just
as fierce as Sakon's but, he's more impatient and quicker to go all
out to crush an enemy.
Both brothers have identical curse seals, courtesy of Orochimaru, that
give them a devilish appearance when activated to level 2. And their
Sound uniform is pinkish. They also wear blue-green lipstick and Sakon
has a beaded necklace. Make of this what you will.
Dark red is Ukon speaking.

Shit. Finally find a damned land mark and I've still got no
idea where the hell I am. Shitty little village ain't on any map I've
ever seen; it can't be that hidden. How'd I get so far off
track? Last time I let you take control, big brother. Anything?
Hey. I didn't bring us here. No, nothing
familiar. Just a fucking barrier. Creator must be a sadistic
genius, damn 'em. Gonna murder the bastard when we break
through the damn thing. Tested it out; punted some rabbits into it.
They got all disfigured and started singing opera. "Past the point of
no return," very funny. I'd have laughed if I hadn't been busy gutting
them. Just hurry up; we need to get back and-
Don't bring up the mission. I won't forget. The quicker we get
the brats here to give us a clue to where we are the quicker we can
punch a hole in that barrier and leave. So, let's play nice for a
while. Say hello then poke around; see what we can find out. After
that, we can do the world a favor and destroy this pathetic shit-hole.
Sounds good. Get what we need and tear
everything to pieces. Wake me if you need me.
Hey. Interesting little. . . place you've got here. Was passing
through and just had to stop to say hello. Name's Sakon.
One thing I gotta ask. Is every single weird plant and animal in this
place musical? The undead were bad enough. Shitty things couldn't
carry a tune if you stuffed it in a basket with their severed heads.
And then the damn canaries kept on asking my dress size, in
song, like they expected me to start wearing 'em. They won't
shut the hell up. I ain't no "Devil with a pink dress on." It's
salmon, dammit. I ain't wearing a damn dress!
At least it's better than the "I Will Survive" song the shitty, burned
out trees kept singing. "I've got all my life to live, all my love to
give," bah- Shit. Now it's stuck in my head, again. Need
to get it the hell out. Hey, any of you brat- anyone
got any decent music to listen to?
The next wise-ass who tries to sing "If You're Happy and You Know it"
gets their jaw broken. I've had a bad day. Don't need you
weak-ass brats- What. The. Hell. Is. This?- making it worse. "Camp
Fuck U Die: The Musical?" Oh hell no. No way. I ain't playin' along.
And why is my shitty part a duet anyway? Couldn't sing two parts even
if I wanted to. Which I don't, so don't get any damn ideas.
The second head? Ignore that.

Character: Husky
Series: +Anima
Age: 12
Canon: +Anima is a shounen manga set in a fantasy world
where some people have gained the power to assume the characteristics of a
specific animal. These people, known as +Anima, are often feared and hated
for their powers, seen as "monsters" simply because they are different.
Husky is a fish +Anima with the power to turn his lower body into fins and a
tail. Insert mermaid joke here. Mistaking him for a girl will send him
into fits of rage, as he flails and yells and loudly asserts his manliness.
However, he wears earrings, loves shiny expensive jewelery, and isn't above
crossdressing for the money (in fact, he first appears in the manga while
posing as a "mermaid princess" in the circus. He will never live it down).
Husky is pessimistic, short-tempered, and stubborn; always the first to
voice his opinion (which is usually negative) and the first to disagree with
someone else's (frequently by whacking them across the head with his staff).
He also claims, loudly, violently, and with lots of flustered blushing, to
hate girls, prickling at the very idea of having to deal with them (this
could be because he's mistaken for one so often, or it could be because he's
a twelve-year-old boy).
That's not to say that he's a bad guy. Somewhere deep inside, he's a good
person. People just annoy him too much for him to bother acting like
one.

Character: Ashiya Mizuki
Series: Hanazakari No Kimitachi E (Hana-Kimi)
Age: 17
Canon: Mizuki is a Japanese-American high-school-aged girl who longs to be close to a Japanese high-jumper she idolizes. Her main problem? Well, he attends an all-boys academy. Her solution? Chopping her hair short, wearing a vest to hide her chest, and moving to Japan, applying for and entering the same academy. Her luck? She ends up being roommate to the young man she admires and may actually love. What's a girl to do?
Mizuki isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Several times she's nearly caught red-handed as an illegal female in male territory and several hints of her friends (the majority of who are male) having feelings for her goes completely over her head and is, instead, interpretted as close friendship. But Mizuki is a very dedicated friend who will randomly stalk her friends and will ultimately reveal herself if and when she feels a strong objection to a subject being discussed--much to the embarrassment of all parties. The one thing that bothers Mizuki most is when someone suggests that she relies too heavily on her friends. Even so, she has a single-minded determination that makes it hard for people to talk her out of a decision she's made.
Almost in an oxymoronish behavior, Mizuki likes to watch horror movies even though she knows they will cause her to have nightmares. Often times, she can be found in another person Sano's bed because of this.
Sample Post:
Uwaaah... I can't believe the sky's so clear right now~ It was raining so hard earlier that I ended up losing track of my friends when we were trying to get back to our dormitory! I think they might have made it back to the dorm. They might even be wondering where I am...
Ah, me? I'm Ashiya Mizuki--a student at the all-boys Osaka High School... who is really lost right now. Ah hah... it is an odd thing to be running through the city's streets while it's raining and then ending up... at a summer camp? I think that's what this place is, even if I'm sure that there are some... not friendly things lurking about. It's kind of like that horror movie I saw that one time! But... but I won't be the dams--eh, I mean young man in distress! Right!
If any of my friends were here, they'd probably laugh at me for getting lost like this. If Umeda-sensei were here, he'd definitely laugh... But then again, they'd probably be too surprised to laugh. I mean... like that little incident with the berry bush! I just wanted to see if the berries would be okay to eat because I didn't know how long I was going to be lost, and... well, the bush blew raspberries at me. Bushes aren't supposed to blow raspberries, right? Literally or figuratively.
But I didn't get a chance to poke at the bush more--it already seemed pretty mad at me for making it lose all of its raspberries, really--because then I heard those noises again and--eep! What was that?
Calm down, Mizuki! You can do it! There are no zombies! It is a normal summer camp! Which probably has a phone! Right! See? Nothing to be afraid off! You're a tough--uh, guy! You can do it! Just don't wander off into the woods or something. You've heard about that saying when you get lost, right? Stay in one place so that other people can find you!
...but what if they don't go looking for me because they think I went somewhere to warm up? Or what if there's so many places to look in this one place that they can't find me? What if they get eaten by the zombies--no, not zombies! Cosplay! Realistic cosplay! And people are looking for me and there are people here at camp who will help and I'll be fine! I will be able to make it through and find my way ho--WAAAAAAAH! IT GRABBED ME! GETITOFFDON'TEATMYBRAINSTHEYAREN'TTASTY!

Character: Goldilocks
Series: Fables
Age: 20 (While Goldi is fairly young in the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears, she looks older in Fables)
Canon: Fables is a graphic novel comic book series where our denizens of fiction and myth dwell in New York, well those that can pass as human. Those that cannot live on the Farm, which is... a farm. Goldilocks is a rather hardass leftist advocate for the nonhuman Fables to be able to leave Farm. She claims to be fighting for the rights of these poor Fables who are treated as less than human just because they don't have any opposable thumbs. It is common belief that she's really just a psycho. And into bears, a lot.
Hardass can be taken a few ways. Goldilocks does hardass with a sniper rifle and a semi-auto. She snipes Snow White in the head and shoots the Big Bad Wolf's mouth full of lead. She also has proven to be quite durable, taking an axe to the back of the head, rolling down a cliff and getting run over by a semi. Luckily, being a popular fable means she can survive things like that.
Sample Post:
You don't understand! I'm not supposed to be here. I have to be out there, saving the people I care about. The inhumane treatment of non-Fables cannot continue! Even here in ... Camp Fuck U Die... there are beings who need my help! You are exploiting the squid, have you asked what it wants? Perhaps it doesn't wish to be the butt of your neverending humorless jokes. Imagine living your life in a cage, unable to escape, gnawing at your own wrist like a trapped fox. It's life without living, food without taste, a .45 ♥ with no ammo , death with NO MEANING. It's no better than ...
Words fail me as to how an army of small polythene balls released from a vagrant bean bag chair could swamp me so suddenly.
...these have teeth, and are possibly humming. Such minor deterrances will not hinder my cause. Such things cannot get in the way of MORAL JUSTICE. However, such irritates may be placated with force. Violence is not the answer, but sometimes it lends a helping hand to those of us in distress. When championing a cause there have to be sacrifices. Occasionally these sacrifices must be helped along with some gunpowder and a few slugs of lead.
I'm obviously in distress and my cause is a just one. See this? This is fletchette, and it's juuuust right.

Character: Sanji
Series: One Piece
Age: 19
Canon: Sanji Recipe.
Ingredients: 3 parts Pirate Chef (raised from childhood)
3 parts Warrior (French attack names are a must!)
2 parts Gentleman
2 parts Food Conservationist (won't waste a thing)
Cigarettes, to taste
A Stylish Suit
In the ocean preferably on a pirate ship, mix ingredients
adding love-love and pretty girls to taste. After mixing,
let it set and mature. Do not be alarmed if your Sanji
attacks with only kicks, that only means you have prepared
it successfully. If you included pretty girls within the
recipe, please note that your dish may or may not be
completely useless as it fawns over them. In such case,
exclamations of 'Mellorine~!' are to be expected. Also be
careful when handling the pretty girls, for if your Sanji
detects any rough handling during the preparation it will
become agitated and violent.
Recipe Note: Sanji has a rough exterior unless you happen
to be 1) female, or 2) friend. If you happen
to be foe, you will notice an increase of
shoe/sole in your diet, loss of teeth, bruises
and possible bloodloss.
If these symptoms continue, it is reccomended
that you stop pissing him off and go see a
doctor.
Actual note: Robin and Nami are part of same crew Sanji belongs to, and
he is very protective of them, and fawns over them all the time, to a
greater extent than he would other pretty girls, at least.
Sample Post:
This must be the Mess Hall, from the looks of it. It seems
to be in much better shape than the rest of this shit-camp. Just as well, I
wouldn't cook this duck I caught if I couldn't properly prepare it in a clean kitchen.
What kind of shitty duck has fangs? It had quite a bit of guts to try and attack
me though, but what kind of chef would I be if I were afraid of a main dish?
I've already managed to tenderize it, and I broke the neck so I should cook it soon
while it's still fresh.
I think to prepare it, I will use garlic. Lots and lots of garlic. Perhaps a
few leeks, a sprig of parsley to liven it up, all of it in a nice citrus sauce
with sherry. Or at least, I think these star shaped fruits are citrus, if not,
I'll find another use for them. Really, what a wonderful rare food find. I
wonder how it will taste? I'm sure it would make a wonderful love-love parfait!
If only there were heart-shaped fruit around here...
I have no complaints however! Nami-swan sent me here on a scouting expedition,
and told me that it was too dangerous for her, but there could be treasure! Of
course, the only treasure in my life would be her~~! I gladly trekked through this
island for the last two weeks, for I am on a mission of love and nothing can stop me,
not even the damned zombies! Nami-swaaaa~n, am I the lone knight in your heart now~~?
When I return with treasure will you look at me with those beautiful eyes of yours~?
Mellorine~~~!
Hey! You shitty ape! Stay away from that oven! If you're hungry I'll prepare
you something, but that is Nami-swan and Robin-chan's special dinner tonight!
Ook ook to you too, grapefuzz, but if you know what's good for you you'll--
You dare defile food in such a way? To make it worse, my special love-love chef
garlic duck al'orange?! There will be no forgiveness for such a breach of

Character: Zexion
Series: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Age: Unknown- appears late teens
Applicant #1
Canon: Zexion is number VI of Organization XIII (those guys in the black coats); one of the founding members. Shrouded in mystery, Zexion has no revealed element or weapon (making him the only member of the Organization who doesn't), but seems to have the ability to identify people by their smell, even if he's not anywhere near them.
Zexion is calculating, cold, and can also be somewhat snippy with people when he's ignored or interrupted. He's more of a manipulator than a combatant, and he's a good manipulator- his title is 'The Cloaked Schemer' and he'd much rather have an illusion to poke at the sore spots in someone's brain than fight them. The CoM manga gives him a liking for drinking tea and making pickled vegetables.
Sample Post:
This place is completely permeated with some mix of darkness and skunk cabbage. In that respect, though, I suppose it's not that different from anywhere else I've been recently. The animated corpses are a change, though I could have done without the self-proclaimed 'fangirl zombies' flinging themselves at me in hoards, shouting what I'm fairly sure is mating call- "Braiiiinsqueeeeeee!" was about how it went, I believe. I'd rather not go back and check.
Another thing I'd rather not do is continue to experience various attributes of these creatures up-close. I will admit, though, that the way they defy the norm is interesting. Psychic toucans, for example: while they don't act like normal birds, one might still expect them to smell like regular birds, but they don't. Upon closer investigation ('closer investigation' in this case meaning 'having one thrown at my face by a territorial gorilla') I discovered that they smell much more like artificial fruit flavouring and the blood of innocents in equal amounts. The latter is, in fact, such a common theme in this place that I can't help but wonder if there are any innocents left.
On the subject of the toucans, in fact, I'm fairly certain in the assumption that their constant chant of 'follow your nose' is meant not only to mock me, but also lead me into danger. I've already tried 'following my nose' once since arriving here, and it quite nearly dropped me down a pit filled with "anti-emo death gas". I'm sure it's understandable that I'd really rather not expose myself to any kind of 'death gas', no matter its emotional state.
. . . And no, I have never been, nor have I ever expressed interest in being 'wanged in the yee'. What does that even mean?
Applicant #2
Canon: Zexion is, or rather was, number VI of Xemnas' Organization. For the majority of Chain of Memories, Zexion hung out in the basement of Castle Oblivion with Lexaeus and Vexen. They had fun times, like any set of evil organization roommates. Zexion passed the time fiddling with mind puzzles and fixing the chore wheel so he wouldn't get stuck with the dishes.
When a plan to acquire Riku to further his own plans failed, Zexion attempted to dispose of Riku; he lost, and barely managed to escape. However, Axel saw quickly to that, and had Riku Replica destroy Zexion, who "fell into ruin". (Which is probably just a fancy way of saying, "he kicked the bucket".)
Zexion is more on the relaxed side, and likes to talk. He doesn't like to dirty his own hands when it comes to carrying out the Organization's goals, and usually sends out someone else to take care of the job, whatever it may be. He is a skilled manipulator, somewhat sarcastic, and rather pessimistic about his existence. He can also be your very own bloodhound, able to pick up people's scents from quite remarkable distances.
Sample Post:
Now, when someone did me the wonderful favor of ending my dull existence as a Nobody, I wish someone had really warned me that the afterlife would be (and smell) so much worse.
While I'm sure you're all painfully interesting individuals, and absolutely itching to socialize, I don't really appreciate your idea of a "welcome gift". It would be very kind if someone would let me know who left that on my bed and spread around the joke that I "follow my nose, wherever it goes". I'm flattered, really, but I've never had a particular fondness for toucans, nor the desire to look like one of them. But thank you so much. You've made my stay here all the more pleasant with cheesy rhymes and motley costumes.
To add insult to injury, the dead seem to be up and about, rotting stench-ridden cadavers and all. But I'm not sure which group of the walking dead I find more unbearable; the ones with bodies obviously past their expiration date, or the backstabbing neophytes from the fiasco at Castle Oblivion.
It's dire circumstances like these that I find myself missing my previous life. Granted, it wasn't all rainbows and butterflies (when does anything fit that description?), but I can rightly say that my situation was much better; and slightly saner, come to think of it.
And now that I think of it, pickled daikon and Lexaeus' comic-reading silences seem like paradise compared to a camp infested with underwear-growing trees, unsolved murders, and sexually frustrated people from every world in existence.
Oh, and please. No one need try to cheer me up; you're all doing such an excellent job already.

Ah, me? I'm Ashiya Mizuki--a student at the all-boys Osaka High School... who is really lost right now. Ah hah... it is an odd thing to be running through the city's streets while it's raining and then ending up... at a summer camp? I think that's what this place is, even if I'm sure that there are some... not friendly things lurking about. It's kind of like that horror movie I saw that one time! But... but I won't be the dams--eh, I mean young man in distress! Right!
If any of my friends were here, they'd probably laugh at me for getting lost like this. If Umeda-sensei were here, he'd definitely laugh... But then again, they'd probably be too surprised to laugh. I mean... like that little incident with the berry bush! I just wanted to see if the berries would be okay to eat because I didn't know how long I was going to be lost, and... well, the bush blew raspberries at me. Bushes aren't supposed to blow raspberries, right? Literally or figuratively.
But I didn't get a chance to poke at the bush more--it already seemed pretty mad at me for making it lose all of its raspberries, really--because then I heard those noises again and--eep! What was that?
Calm down, Mizuki! You can do it! There are no zombies! It is a normal summer camp! Which probably has a phone! Right! See? Nothing to be afraid off! You're a tough--uh, guy! You can do it! Just don't wander off into the woods or something. You've heard about that saying when you get lost, right? Stay in one place so that other people can find you!
...but what if they don't go looking for me because they think I went somewhere to warm up? Or what if there's so many places to look in this one place that they can't find me? What if they get eaten by the zombies--no, not zombies! Cosplay! Realistic cosplay! And people are looking for me and there are people here at camp who will help and I'll be fine! I will be able to make it through and find my way ho--WAAAAAAAH! IT GRABBED ME! GETITOFFDON'TEATMYBRAINSTHEYAREN'TTASTY!

Character: Goldilocks
Series: Fables
Age: 20 (While Goldi is fairly young in the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears, she looks older in Fables)
Canon: Fables is a graphic novel comic book series where our denizens of fiction and myth dwell in New York, well those that can pass as human. Those that cannot live on the Farm, which is... a farm. Goldilocks is a rather hardass leftist advocate for the nonhuman Fables to be able to leave Farm. She claims to be fighting for the rights of these poor Fables who are treated as less than human just because they don't have any opposable thumbs. It is common belief that she's really just a psycho. And into bears, a lot.
Hardass can be taken a few ways. Goldilocks does hardass with a sniper rifle and a semi-auto. She snipes Snow White in the head and shoots the Big Bad Wolf's mouth full of lead. She also has proven to be quite durable, taking an axe to the back of the head, rolling down a cliff and getting run over by a semi. Luckily, being a popular fable means she can survive things like that.

You don't understand! I'm not supposed to be here. I have to be out there, saving the people I care about. The inhumane treatment of non-Fables cannot continue! Even here in ... Camp Fuck U Die... there are beings who need my help! You are exploiting the squid, have you asked what it wants? Perhaps it doesn't wish to be the butt of your neverending humorless jokes. Imagine living your life in a cage, unable to escape, gnawing at your own wrist like a trapped fox. It's life without living, food without taste, a .45 ♥ with no ammo , death with NO MEANING. It's no better than ...
Words fail me as to how an army of small polythene balls released from a vagrant bean bag chair could swamp me so suddenly.
...these have teeth, and are possibly humming. Such minor deterrances will not hinder my cause. Such things cannot get in the way of MORAL JUSTICE. However, such irritates may be placated with force. Violence is not the answer, but sometimes it lends a helping hand to those of us in distress. When championing a cause there have to be sacrifices. Occasionally these sacrifices must be helped along with some gunpowder and a few slugs of lead.
I'm obviously in distress and my cause is a just one. See this? This is fletchette, and it's juuuust right.

Character: Sanji
Series: One Piece
Age: 19
Canon: Sanji Recipe.
Ingredients: 3 parts Pirate Chef (raised from childhood)
3 parts Warrior (French attack names are a must!)
2 parts Gentleman
2 parts Food Conservationist (won't waste a thing)
Cigarettes, to taste
A Stylish Suit
In the ocean preferably on a pirate ship, mix ingredients
adding love-love and pretty girls to taste. After mixing,
let it set and mature. Do not be alarmed if your Sanji
attacks with only kicks, that only means you have prepared
it successfully. If you included pretty girls within the
recipe, please note that your dish may or may not be
completely useless as it fawns over them. In such case,
exclamations of 'Mellorine~!' are to be expected. Also be
careful when handling the pretty girls, for if your Sanji
detects any rough handling during the preparation it will
become agitated and violent.
Recipe Note: Sanji has a rough exterior unless you happen
to be 1) female, or 2) friend. If you happen
to be foe, you will notice an increase of
shoe/sole in your diet, loss of teeth, bruises
and possible bloodloss.
If these symptoms continue, it is reccomended
that you stop pissing him off and go see a
doctor.
Actual note: Robin and Nami are part of same crew Sanji belongs to, and
he is very protective of them, and fawns over them all the time, to a
greater extent than he would other pretty girls, at least.

This must be the Mess Hall, from the looks of it. It seems
to be in much better shape than the rest of this shit-camp. Just as well, I
wouldn't cook this duck I caught if I couldn't properly prepare it in a clean kitchen.
What kind of shitty duck has fangs? It had quite a bit of guts to try and attack
me though, but what kind of chef would I be if I were afraid of a main dish?
I've already managed to tenderize it, and I broke the neck so I should cook it soon
while it's still fresh.
I think to prepare it, I will use garlic. Lots and lots of garlic. Perhaps a
few leeks, a sprig of parsley to liven it up, all of it in a nice citrus sauce
with sherry. Or at least, I think these star shaped fruits are citrus, if not,
I'll find another use for them. Really, what a wonderful rare food find. I
wonder how it will taste? I'm sure it would make a wonderful love-love parfait!
If only there were heart-shaped fruit around here...
I have no complaints however! Nami-swan sent me here on a scouting expedition,
and told me that it was too dangerous for her, but there could be treasure! Of
course, the only treasure in my life would be her~~! I gladly trekked through this
island for the last two weeks, for I am on a mission of love and nothing can stop me,
not even the damned zombies! Nami-swaaaa~n, am I the lone knight in your heart now~~?
When I return with treasure will you look at me with those beautiful eyes of yours~?
Mellorine~~~!
Hey! You shitty ape! Stay away from that oven! If you're hungry I'll prepare
you something, but that is Nami-swan and Robin-chan's special dinner tonight!
Ook ook to you too, grapefuzz, but if you know what's good for you you'll--
You dare defile food in such a way? To make it worse, my special love-love chef
garlic duck al'orange?! There will be no forgiveness for such a breach of
proper food etiquette.

Character: Zexion
Series: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Age: Unknown- appears late teens
Applicant #1
Canon: Zexion is number VI of Organization XIII (those guys in the black coats); one of the founding members. Shrouded in mystery, Zexion has no revealed element or weapon (making him the only member of the Organization who doesn't), but seems to have the ability to identify people by their smell, even if he's not anywhere near them.
Zexion is calculating, cold, and can also be somewhat snippy with people when he's ignored or interrupted. He's more of a manipulator than a combatant, and he's a good manipulator- his title is 'The Cloaked Schemer' and he'd much rather have an illusion to poke at the sore spots in someone's brain than fight them. The CoM manga gives him a liking for drinking tea and making pickled vegetables.
Sample Post:
This place is completely permeated with some mix of darkness and skunk cabbage. In that respect, though, I suppose it's not that different from anywhere else I've been recently. The animated corpses are a change, though I could have done without the self-proclaimed 'fangirl zombies' flinging themselves at me in hoards, shouting what I'm fairly sure is mating call- "Braiiiinsqueeeeeee!" was about how it went, I believe. I'd rather not go back and check.
Another thing I'd rather not do is continue to experience various attributes of these creatures up-close. I will admit, though, that the way they defy the norm is interesting. Psychic toucans, for example: while they don't act like normal birds, one might still expect them to smell like regular birds, but they don't. Upon closer investigation ('closer investigation' in this case meaning 'having one thrown at my face by a territorial gorilla') I discovered that they smell much more like artificial fruit flavouring and the blood of innocents in equal amounts. The latter is, in fact, such a common theme in this place that I can't help but wonder if there are any innocents left.
On the subject of the toucans, in fact, I'm fairly certain in the assumption that their constant chant of 'follow your nose' is meant not only to mock me, but also lead me into danger. I've already tried 'following my nose' once since arriving here, and it quite nearly dropped me down a pit filled with "anti-emo death gas". I'm sure it's understandable that I'd really rather not expose myself to any kind of 'death gas', no matter its emotional state.
. . . And no, I have never been, nor have I ever expressed interest in being 'wanged in the yee'. What does that even mean?
Applicant #2
Canon: Zexion is, or rather was, number VI of Xemnas' Organization. For the majority of Chain of Memories, Zexion hung out in the basement of Castle Oblivion with Lexaeus and Vexen. They had fun times, like any set of evil organization roommates. Zexion passed the time fiddling with mind puzzles and fixing the chore wheel so he wouldn't get stuck with the dishes.
When a plan to acquire Riku to further his own plans failed, Zexion attempted to dispose of Riku; he lost, and barely managed to escape. However, Axel saw quickly to that, and had Riku Replica destroy Zexion, who "fell into ruin". (Which is probably just a fancy way of saying, "he kicked the bucket".)
Zexion is more on the relaxed side, and likes to talk. He doesn't like to dirty his own hands when it comes to carrying out the Organization's goals, and usually sends out someone else to take care of the job, whatever it may be. He is a skilled manipulator, somewhat sarcastic, and rather pessimistic about his existence. He can also be your very own bloodhound, able to pick up people's scents from quite remarkable distances.

Now, when someone did me the wonderful favor of ending my dull existence as a Nobody, I wish someone had really warned me that the afterlife would be (and smell) so much worse.
While I'm sure you're all painfully interesting individuals, and absolutely itching to socialize, I don't really appreciate your idea of a "welcome gift". It would be very kind if someone would let me know who left that on my bed and spread around the joke that I "follow my nose, wherever it goes". I'm flattered, really, but I've never had a particular fondness for toucans, nor the desire to look like one of them. But thank you so much. You've made my stay here all the more pleasant with cheesy rhymes and motley costumes.
To add insult to injury, the dead seem to be up and about, rotting stench-ridden cadavers and all. But I'm not sure which group of the walking dead I find more unbearable; the ones with bodies obviously past their expiration date, or the backstabbing neophytes from the fiasco at Castle Oblivion.
It's dire circumstances like these that I find myself missing my previous life. Granted, it wasn't all rainbows and butterflies (when does anything fit that description?), but I can rightly say that my situation was much better; and slightly saner, come to think of it.
And now that I think of it, pickled daikon and Lexaeus' comic-reading silences seem like paradise compared to a camp infested with underwear-growing trees, unsolved murders, and sexually frustrated people from every world in existence.
Oh, and please. No one need try to cheer me up; you're all doing such an excellent job already.
