Character: Kagura
Series: Azumanga Daioh
Age: 18
Canon: Kagura wasn't a part of the cracktastic world of Azumanga
Daioh from the beginning; Yukari brought her into the class for a better
chance at the sports festival. She's the athletic one among her group of
friends, the only one who bothers to stay after school for clubs (swim team,
in her case). She also runs, bikes, dives, smashes watermelons... the girl's
got it all! Unfortunately, the same thing cannot be said of her schoolwork.
After comparing failed quiz results with Tomo and Osaka, she later dubs
herself and her two low-ranking amicas "Bonkuras" (Knuckleheads), with the
"s" added because English plurals look cool. Give you an idea? Just the
same, she was inexplicably the first one of the girls to be accepted into
university.
Although tomboyish and highly competitive, Kagura's shown herself to be a
little insecure and extremely emotional, prone to bouts of extreme joy or
sadness at any given moment. At times, she's as crazy and idiotic as Tomo;
at others, she shows restraint and realizes when the business is serious.
She's also quick to take responsibility if she thinks she let anyone down or
hurt someone. And if there's one thing Kagura hates, it's having her rack
pointed out because SERIOUSLY GUYS THEY'RE NOT THAT BIG shut up.
The Kagura here is being taken from her freshman year of university, with
the assumption that she followed her dream of swimming professionally.
Sample Post:
All right, folks, let's do this thing! We've only got a few months to train,
and like hell I'm going to let my first team be a mess and a half. Just
think, a first time swim coach bringing a team of country misfits with skin
diseases to the nationals! The media will love you guys! Though gotta put it
out, I'm taking the T.V. interviews solo. You guys have the hearts of
winners and the faces for radio. No offense!
Not sure how much the last guy told you, but my name's Kagura and I'm coming
to you all the from Japan. Wait, I've been practicing a greeting, listen to
this... Yo parlez Taco Bell GOOOOD YAY?! Pretty awesome, right? And
stop laughing, you in the back, or you're cleaning the outdoor pool AND
paying for the chlorine tablets. Hah! Not so funny now, is it? And while I'm
at it, "Coach, your tits look really nice in that swimsuit" does not count
as sportsmanship. Geez.
Okay, team, line up at... damn, it's a lake? Oh well, same difference, just
don't swallow the water. Ready, steady, GO! You
on the outside lane, let's see you move in and heat up the competition! No,
SWIM, don't bite him! And you, use your arms! You don't even have an excuse
to use that breast stroke joke 'cause you don't have them! And that nasty
looking tumor thing on your chest doesn't count, so stop jiggling it around.
You are not Girls Gone Wild, you are athletes!
Man, Smithy, who would've thought someone could swim that fast with those
skinnyass arms? Give me five! ... oh dammit, I am so sorry! I didn't
think I was hitting that hard! Uh, the neck bone's connected to the
funny bone, the arm bone's connected to the... crotch bone? I think that's
right. There you go, Smithy, good as new! I think you might need a new pair
of swim shorts, but that's what the budget's for.
As for the rest of you, I'm surprised some of you got past the doggie
paddle. The sport is called swimming, not drowning. Let me show you
how it's done!

Character: Kate Bishop AKA "Hawkeye"
Series: Young Avengers
Age: 16
Canon: The Young Avengers is a series about a group of
super-powered teenagers…and one civilian girl who insisted on joining
the team because she just didn't think they were smart enough to avoid
getting themselves killed. Having to rescue the superhero team that's
supposed to be rescuing you will do that.
Kate Bishop may not have any powers of her own, but she does possess
Olympic-class archery, martial arts and fencing skills, a resourceful
take-charge demeanor, enough courage to stand up to Captain America
and get the codename of Hawkeye passed onto her as a result, and to
top that off, she also plays the cello. All in all, Kate is a valuable
ally, a steadfast friend and, in the words of her teammate Wiccan, can
talk her way out of anything.
Sample Post:
I don't mean to complain. Really. The timing
couldn't be worse, and I can think of a lot better locations for a
superhero training camp than Louisiana, but at least the Young
Avengers are finally getting properly trained.
Or we will, if my investigation of this place goes according to plan.
Except, so far…it hasn't. The atmosphere is really well-executed,
though. If Interlochen National Music Camp had had this whole gritty
survival-of-the-fittest thing going on, it would have been a lot more
fun.
I think, before I explore this place any further, I'm going to need to
have a word with the management. Which is a lot easier said than done,
considering how I keep getting swarmed by zombies with every step I
take. You'd think they like getting disassembled. Now this
one's head is going "puuuut ittttt iiiiinnnn…" at me, and its arm, at
least, I think that's its arm over there, is pointing to…oh.
A suggestion box.
I guess that's the next best thing.
"Dear Management of Camp Fuck You Die,
As a superhero, I want to do my job to the best of my ability, and
since facilitating that is what this place is here for, I hope you'll
take the following suggestions into account:
The zombies really leave a lot to be desired. When you're one of the
next wave of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, you come to expect more of a
challenge. I'm not saying you need to copy Kang the Conquerer, or
anything like that, but something like the Legion of the Unliving,
preferably without actually resurrecting superheroes to do it, would
put up more of a fight than the cannon fodder you're offering at the
moment.
Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,
Hawkeye"
... Hey! What's the point of having a suggestion box if it tries to
bite you when you put your comment in? Talk about adding insult to
injury... Or would that be injury to insult? A little
constructive criticism never hurt anybody!
Here come the zombies again….Great. Although... That one does look a
little beefier than the others. I wonder--whoa! Uprooting a
tree--that's definitely an improvement over the last bunch! And
that one's coming in on a flying surfboard?! And--are those
really webshooters? Now this is what I call customer service!

Character: Sasarai
Series: Suikoden III
Age: Actually 32- Appears about 15
Canon: Suikoden III is a game that starts off centering around a conflict between two countries- The Grasslands, and Zexen. Three heroes, all on different sides of the conflict, provide differing views. Halfway through, a third player comes into the game- the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia, who basically show up and start kicking ass and taking names.
ENTER SASARAI! Sasarai is the bishop in charge of the Harmonian invasion and the bearer of the True Earth rune. Despite being at a high rank in the political system, Sasarai is mild-mannered, polite, calm, patient, civil even to his enemies, and just generally pleasant. This hardly makes him a pushover, though- he's intelligent and cunning enough to survive in the world of politics, not to mention a powerful mage.
Sample Post:
Well. I think I just may be lost. And while that boulder over there singing showtunes is a very obvious clue about the nature of this place, it's probably only the first in what I'm sure will be a depressingly long chain of irregular events. You're a bit off-key, by the way. Just a bit.
The pamphlet this zombie handed me is . . . not particularly helpful, I'm afraid. "Camp Fuck You Die - come (but not like that! unless, you know, you're into that) for the wildlife, stay for the impenetrable barrier! Affordable lodging that won't cost you an arm and a leg!" I'm not entirely sure quite what everything on here means, but - Ah. Well. I'm sure you can understand that I don't want your arm. Or your leg. Or- I'd just rather you keep all of your own body parts (and whatever body parts you may have collected from others) to yourself, really. I have my own. Thank you.
On the subject of body parts, ah. There seems to be some rather interesting vegetation out here. To put it mildly. The tree that's growing the human eyeballs isn't the only oddity as far as the landscape goes although it's very definitely the most disturbing. The grove of yodelling trees, the bush that has been following me for about ten minutes now - yes, I do mean you-- and the patch of . . . 'man-hungry flowers', according to the sign, are only a few in this . . . extensive and unique group. I'm sure my tea has gotten cold by now. It's really a shame, that was one of my favourite brews.
Well. It's certainly been . . . an experience, but I really have other places to be. And other things to do. And, well, an entire army to get back to - I'm sure they're missing me by now. So if one of you could point me in the direction of the exit, I'd certainly appreciate it - Well, yes, I did read the pamphlet, but I'm sure 'Impenetrable Barrier' is just a general suggestion. Well, maybe. In any case - Ah, you'll help, then? Thank you, but - nevermind.
After all, I suppose having to take directions from an animated decomposing corpse isn't the worst position I could be in.

Character: Link
Series: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Age: Though it's still unknown what his real age is but it's safe to say he's probably 17
Canon: Ocarina of Time is about a boy named Link and his journey to save Hyrule from the Evil King Ganondorf by using the Master Sword to travel back and forth through time while trying to find Princess Zelda as well. Aiding him in his journey is his fairy/partner Navi, the mysterious Shiekah Shiek, and the friends he made along the way.
Link has a tendency of being nice to everyone and anyone, paying attention more to their needs then to his own. Due to this habit, he's the kind of guy who makes friends because he tries to see the good in them, even if they don't get off to the best start. Like any normal teenage boy, Link gets shy, embarrassed and blushing easily when it comes to women. Even though he also has a goofy and laid back part of him, he is serious when necessary, especially if it involves saving Hyrule. He's the one that protects the weak, whether it be loved ones or complete strangers, from the enemy no matter the circumstances. Although having the fate of Hyrule on his shoulders gets to him sometimes, he's never down for long due to the friends around him always cheering and encouraging him on. He even uses his new favorite past time hobby, fishing, to help him relax.
Note: Link will be pulled out as he's being sent back to his original time.
Note #2: His voice is based on Manga OoT and not the game.

Um...Hey there. Since you live here, that must mean you know everyone, right?
Ah! Your arm came off! I'll get that for you! Here and...There we go! Good as new! Anyways, I'm looking for an army who stole all my items and weapons. Some of my belongings are very important and I'm determined to get my stuff back from them.
Though I wish they had left me with some kind of weapon because already I've discovered this place is kind of dangerous and I really don't want a repeat of what just happened. Simply put, moments ago I was knocked out after arriving in this swamp type place. It was just now I regained consciousness. It seems that a bunch of animals got transported here with me. At first, they just followed me like chicks to their mother. I thought maybe they were in need of protection, which was fine with me. But the one behind me was giving me a funny looks as we were all walking. He kind of reminded me of one of those carpenters only scarier and meaner. And I think I might've said that out loud because I suddenly heard a loud cry. The next thing I know, I'm being pecked all over the place and I see nothing but white and feathers. A few of them even worked together, flying over my head and dropping my stolen shield back down on me, knocking me out.
And that's what hap-Hey! Why did you take off your arm?! What?! I'm not going to use your arm as a weapon! Don't take this the wrong way but I doubt it will do much damage if I use it! Unless slapping is some kind of high level attack around here.
....Umm. I think you need to start drinking more milk because your arm suddenly broke

Character: Hisaishi Hisami
Series: Read or Dream
Age: 13
Canon: Read or Dream is a four-volume manga chronicling the
adventures and wacky hijinx of the Paper Sister's Detective Company, which
includes Maggie, Michelle and Anita. The narrative in the manga is
Anita-Centric. Hisa's character is a child prodigy who has become author.
She enters the manga when she comes to Hong Kong for a book signing, and The
Paper Sisters Detective Company is hired to guard her. Over the next
chapters she becomes Anita’s best friend.
Hisa's parents died when she was young, and she spent a lot of time alone
and thus began writing. She is a soft-spoken and somewhat timid person, but
has a strong drive to improve herself and doesn't let criticism get her
down. She was very cloistered and had no real friends before she met Anita,
and at first she doesn't know how to interact normally with Anita as a peer
(it doesn't help that Anita's so much more 'out there' than she is).
Hisa's health isn't that good, and because she has a weak body, she
occasionally collapses from fatigue, and she has a habit of apologizing when
she's done nothing wrong . She's very innocent, you could say, and has a
hard time even talking about two people kissing without stammering and
blushing.

Uh...Um.... Has anyone seen my manager? We came to America to promote the
release of my new book. I'm very excited to be here; knowing that my books
have reached readers in such far away places makes me so happy. I was elated
when I received this letter…
"Hisaishi-sensei, your achievements in the genre of fantasy writing at
such a young age are commendable, and it is our honor to invite you as a
guest to the Program for Creative Fantasy Writing, Where the Impossible
lurks ominously around every corner Awaits,
located in the scenic gulf area of the United States...."
...But I got separated from my bodyguards when I arrived, and I think I'm a
little lost now.... the schedule says I'm supposed to host a book signing at
the... Cam Feckue Dee Memorial Library. Though, really, this seems like an
odd place for a library to be located… there's nothing but trees no matter
where I look....
Ah, this must be it here! He..hello? Ehe..There's so much dust in here, poor
books, someone should take better care of yo--ah! F-f-flying books? Ah,
sorry! I didn't mean to disturb you... Ah! Nice books, please? eep! Sorry
sir, I didn't mean to knock into you, I.. I'm..mmf..mmmpghhhgwaaa! Sorry! So
sorry about your clothes, sir, I think this atmosphere is triggering my
nausea, I just need a little fresh air, you look a bit gray, truly sorry,
sir.
Luckily, I have a cellphone for times like this. I just need to call my
manager..... ...."Connection is Out of Area
Reality" ?
This whole place like something out of a fantasy book; I didn't know America
had things like this. This atmosphere is so surreal, I keep thinking maybe
that there's a squid like in 20,000 Leagues in the lake, or I'll come across
a Whomping Willow, or get transformed into something else by a curse. Hmm,
maybe a Good Witch will give me some silver shoes that will magically take
me home in three steps! … but I should probably start to focus on a way out
of here… Thinking about imaginary stuff isn't going to help me at all. If I
use this large lake as a starting point, I think I can begin to search the
area in an organized way. So, um, starting from the lake edge here, I'll
head west first, and— Eeep! ... for a second, I thought I heard something in
the water...

Character: Son Gohan
Series: Dragon Ball Z
Age: 18
Canon: Son Gohan has done more things by age eighteen than most people do in their lifetimes. He's been kidnapped, traveled to outer space, defeated villains and saved the entire planet from complete and total destruction on more than one occasion. Of course, that's the sort of thing people expect from you when your father is the strongest being in the universe and you're not too far behind on the scale of power. Gohan's father, Son Goku, is one of only a handful of Saiyans left, thus making Gohan half-Saiyan, and capable of immense power and strength just like the rest of them.
Despite the glory, Gohan would really just like to be a normal guy. He downplays his powers and even attends a regular highschool and tries his best to fit in. Unfortunately, he's a tad spastic and defensive over just about everything and he is a complete and total dork. To try and balance out his need to save the day and his love of normalcy, he has even gone so far as to adopt a crime-fighting alter ego. Yes, he is the Great Saiyaman, defender of justice and the weak! He's also prone to bad rapping and silly dance poses while in costume, too.

. . . Or you could just leave a new one here. I guess that works too. Oh yeah---And whoever set up that lunch buffet? I think you might've gotten some of the laundry mixed in there on accident. Don't worry, nobody else noticed it until I bit into a pillow. Everybody kinda laughed it off, so no hard feelings? And---Yeah, I'm the guy who bit it. What about it?

Though I wish they had left me with some kind of weapon because already I've discovered this place is kind of dangerous and I really don't want a repeat of what just happened. Simply put, moments ago I was knocked out after arriving in this swamp type place. It was just now I regained consciousness. It seems that a bunch of animals got transported here with me. At first, they just followed me like chicks to their mother. I thought maybe they were in need of protection, which was fine with me. But the one behind me was giving me a funny looks as we were all walking. He kind of reminded me of one of those carpenters only scarier and meaner. And I think I might've said that out loud because I suddenly heard a loud cry. The next thing I know, I'm being pecked all over the place and I see nothing but white and feathers. A few of them even worked together, flying over my head and dropping my stolen shield back down on me, knocking me out.
And that's what hap-Hey! Why did you take off your arm?! What?! I'm not going to use your arm as a weapon! Don't take this the wrong way but I doubt it will do much damage if I use it! Unless slapping is some kind of high level attack around here.
....Umm. I think you need to start drinking more milk because your arm suddenly broke

Character: Hisaishi Hisami
Series: Read or Dream
Age: 13
Canon: Read or Dream is a four-volume manga chronicling the
adventures and wacky hijinx of the Paper Sister's Detective Company, which
includes Maggie, Michelle and Anita. The narrative in the manga is
Anita-Centric. Hisa's character is a child prodigy who has become author.
She enters the manga when she comes to Hong Kong for a book signing, and The
Paper Sisters Detective Company is hired to guard her. Over the next
chapters she becomes Anita’s best friend.
Hisa's parents died when she was young, and she spent a lot of time alone
and thus began writing. She is a soft-spoken and somewhat timid person, but
has a strong drive to improve herself and doesn't let criticism get her
down. She was very cloistered and had no real friends before she met Anita,
and at first she doesn't know how to interact normally with Anita as a peer
(it doesn't help that Anita's so much more 'out there' than she is).
Hisa's health isn't that good, and because she has a weak body, she
occasionally collapses from fatigue, and she has a habit of apologizing when
she's done nothing wrong . She's very innocent, you could say, and has a
hard time even talking about two people kissing without stammering and
blushing.

Uh...Um.... Has anyone seen my manager? We came to America to promote the
release of my new book. I'm very excited to be here; knowing that my books
have reached readers in such far away places makes me so happy. I was elated
when I received this letter…
"Hisaishi-sensei, your achievements in the genre of fantasy writing at
such a young age are commendable, and it is our honor to invite you as a
guest to the Program for Creative Fantasy Writing, Where the Impossible
lurks ominously around every corner Awaits,
located in the scenic gulf area of the United States...."
...But I got separated from my bodyguards when I arrived, and I think I'm a
little lost now.... the schedule says I'm supposed to host a book signing at
the... Cam Feckue Dee Memorial Library. Though, really, this seems like an
odd place for a library to be located… there's nothing but trees no matter
where I look....
Ah, this must be it here! He..hello? Ehe..There's so much dust in here, poor
books, someone should take better care of yo--ah! F-f-flying books? Ah,
sorry! I didn't mean to disturb you... Ah! Nice books, please? eep! Sorry
sir, I didn't mean to knock into you, I.. I'm..mmf..mmmpghhhgwaaa! Sorry! So
sorry about your clothes, sir, I think this atmosphere is triggering my
nausea, I just need a little fresh air, you look a bit gray, truly sorry,
sir.
Luckily, I have a cellphone for times like this. I just need to call my
manager..... ...."Connection is Out of Area
Reality" ?
This whole place like something out of a fantasy book; I didn't know America
had things like this. This atmosphere is so surreal, I keep thinking maybe
that there's a squid like in 20,000 Leagues in the lake, or I'll come across
a Whomping Willow, or get transformed into something else by a curse. Hmm,
maybe a Good Witch will give me some silver shoes that will magically take
me home in three steps! … but I should probably start to focus on a way out
of here… Thinking about imaginary stuff isn't going to help me at all. If I
use this large lake as a starting point, I think I can begin to search the
area in an organized way. So, um, starting from the lake edge here, I'll
head west first, and— Eeep! ... for a second, I thought I heard something in
the water...

Character: Son Gohan
Series: Dragon Ball Z
Age: 18
Canon: Son Gohan has done more things by age eighteen than most people do in their lifetimes. He's been kidnapped, traveled to outer space, defeated villains and saved the entire planet from complete and total destruction on more than one occasion. Of course, that's the sort of thing people expect from you when your father is the strongest being in the universe and you're not too far behind on the scale of power. Gohan's father, Son Goku, is one of only a handful of Saiyans left, thus making Gohan half-Saiyan, and capable of immense power and strength just like the rest of them.
Despite the glory, Gohan would really just like to be a normal guy. He downplays his powers and even attends a regular highschool and tries his best to fit in. Unfortunately, he's a tad spastic and defensive over just about everything and he is a complete and total dork. To try and balance out his need to save the day and his love of normalcy, he has even gone so far as to adopt a crime-fighting alter ego. Yes, he is the Great Saiyaman, defender of justice and the weak! He's also prone to bad rapping and silly dance poses while in costume, too.

Um, guys, I really don't think this is the right way to start things off. I mean---How many scholars' camps need a riddle answered before you can even enter? And . . . Whose idea was a scholars' camp, anyway? Yeah, camping out's great, but but the riddles and the whole atmosphere here really just doesn't add up to what I imagined.
So, Camp Fulfill Your . . . Dreams. . . I've got a question for you. How is a guy's mom like a donut? Short and sweet? . . . Please?
. . . R-Round and brown with a. Big. Hole. Okay, that's not cool.
Oh, and nobody really needs to bother with another welcome basket. Really. I'm pretty sure the last one was still alive. I mean, don't get me wrong! Saying hello is great and all, and I really appreciate the whole thought behind the gift, but real Dragon Balls don't come off a lizard.
I'm sorry for that, little guy, I really am.
You know what? I'm good, honest! You don't need to go to any more trouble. I'll be fine. I mean---The balls were one thing. Uh---well, two, technically---b-but I don't need any special treatment! Nope, not me, I'm just a regular guy!
. . . Or you could just leave a new one here. I guess that works too. Oh yeah---And whoever set up that lunch buffet? I think you might've gotten some of the laundry mixed in there on accident. Don't worry, nobody else noticed it until I bit into a pillow. Everybody kinda laughed it off, so no hard feelings? And---Yeah, I'm the guy who bit it. What about it?
---That means WHAT?! Oh, no, not like that. . .
I don't think I can handle much more of this . . .
