Character: Koyomi "Yomi" Mizuhara
Series: Azumanga Daioh
Age: 18
Canon: grade-school friend and general antagonist of Tomo's, Yomi carries herself as the most mature and serious of her friends. She is often used as a comic foil to the other characters' silliness. This silliness sometimes causes Yomi to lose control, in turn causing Tomo to lose consciousness. Yomi does like to have her fun at times as well and can be just as bad as the others when it comes to playing pranks.
She's in pretty good shape (as well as quite intelligent), though she has some issues with her appearance. Yomi is almost always watching her weight, though ironically remains a great lover of food. She's seemingly tried every diet imaginable, failing every time. She also has a playful side, with a secret love of amusement parks and karaoke (Which she is surprisingly horrible at).
Sample Post:
This doesn't look like any college campus I've been to. It should be the right place. The signs on the way in said 'CFUD: Chiba's Formal University of Diverseness.' They also said 'Go Away', 'You're Doomed', and 'Free Gay Porn'. Weird. Oh well, can't really be picky at this point. I did get in for practically free. The question about estimated brain weight in the sign-up process was odd, though.
That's enough procrastinating, I should get settled in. Where did my bags go?! Why the heck would they need safekeeping? If somebody tries a panty raid, I'll make sure they don't walk straight for a week! I might do the same to you if you don't stop waving that pitchfork around! You could hurt somebody. That's the idea?! Psycho. Here's an idea; Go hang out somewhere that's away from me. --Okay, fine, I'll take the shotgun if you'll leave! What am I supposed to do with this thing anyway? I feel like a fool carrying this gun around.
Does he expect me to go and pick off all these people? These people --that are skinnier than me; that can probably eat whatever they want, whenever? It's so unfair! That guy over there doesn't even have a stomach! We can't all be supermodels, okay? Some people like to indulge in good food. I can't help it if I tend to do it a little more than others! --Maybe I will have a use for this gun.
I better get away from this group before I do something I regret. I'll do some sightseeing; Check out the dorms, maybe the forest too. --Ah, here's a couple dorms. Wow, these dorms are gross. The old age look is interesting, but that sheet metal roof looks flimsy. That dorm doesn't even have a door! Some sick pervert Kimura could just come waltzing in! I'm gonna file a complaint right now.
Can someone tell me where the dean's office is? Past the condom tree?! Alright smartass, how about giving me a logical answer. You're serious?! College kids are so immature --gluing condoms to a tree. Oh crap, it's the pitchfork guy again. You'll take me to the dean's office? Thanks! Do you a favor? What kind of favor? --How the hell am I supposed to get you a good deal on real estate?! Do I look like a real estate agent to you?! Get out of my sight before I actually use this gun.
This place is god awful. I'll have to cope, though--it's for my education. And it could be worse; I could be stuck here with Tomo.

Character: Stephanie Brown (aka Spoiler)
Series: DC Universe, Batman. Also appeared in Robin and Batgirl.
Age: 16
Canon: Stephanie is the daughter of Cluemaster, one of Batman's second-rate villains. Steph created Spoiler to, well, spoil his plans, donning an eggplant (not purple) colored costume and joining up with Batman and Robin. Her superheroing adventures have been on-and-off after that. She's an enthusiastic, sometimes incompetent, headstrong girl who's a beam of sunshine among other bat characters' all-concealing shadows. In fact, she tends to make fun of the other characters for being so weird. She isn't without her own problems, though--she grew up poor, she's had a baby that she gave up for adoption, she was almost sexually abused, and her parents suck. Fun times, DC Comics. She's also pretty snarky, and more sharp than people generally give her credit for. When a comic is written from her point of view, it usually includes snippets of her diary. (Which I'm emulating here yay)
Sample Post:
Dear Diary,
I SERIOUSLY need some…not HELP but… backup. Here's what's going down: All I wanted was find Robin in this camp. But when I got here, I couldn't help but notice a few little problems. Like the massive amounts of walking undead. I saw this huge group of them all walking together through the forest. Which…I mean, I don't know how ZOMBIES normally act, but that's kind of suspicious. And maybe even zombies can have some criminal activity, right? So I followed them. They got to this dark, secret-looking place, hobbled in all casually, and met with this…this boss-zombie of some sort. There were some serious deals going down, I could tell. So I'm thinking…this camp?
Has a ZOMBIE MAFIA.
I mean, on one hand, the gang wars would take down your zombie population…but at what price?? Innocent people and… toucans will get caught in the crossfire! So I kind of…jumped on in, but I had to! I didn't know there would be this many zombie hit men! How do you get so many zombies in one camp? Is it some part of Louisiana's economy? (There's a joke about the south in there but I am too busy hitting this zombie with a limb to make it)
Naturally, Robin's nowhere to be found. And right while I'm in the weirdest fight ever what the hell. I tried looking before, but this place is HUGE and full of people, none of which are boys in green tights (unfortunately). And it's not like I could jump up on rooftops shouting, "Hey, have you seen Robin? As in Batman and? Not that I would know him personally or anything, I was just wondering! I'm normal!"
Man, sometimes I worry about Robin being around Batman all the time. … …I really am normal. No, seriously, I am.
You know what? Robin can find ME. And it can't be all THAT bad. I know I can handle some dumb ol' zombie mob. No problem.
Hold that thought. Now there's another zombie gang getting in on the action. All right! This might be my chance to escape--or no wait they're just fighting each other AND me. Someone get me out of this three-way, damnit. …fighting sort of three-way. Three-way fight. (Shut up) Of course now it's getting to camp and there're innocent bystanders EVERYWHERE. How do villains always make that happen? …Especially in a summer camp that's in the middle of January--what are you all doing here?!

Character: Manjoume Jun
Series: Yu-Gi-Oh GX (information at www.janime.info)
Age: 16-17 (At the start of season one, he's fifteen, according to http://www.janime.info/Genex/characters.html So after season two, logically, he's 16 or 17.)
Canon: ICHI! JYUU! HYAKU! SEN! MANJOUME THUNDER! Duel Academia island often reverbrates with this chant, the catchphrase of the great Manjoume Jun. Manjoume Jun is practically a legend. With his incredible duelling skills, and his family's privleged position at the forefront of the political and financial worlds, Manjoume is used to being treated with respect. And if he is somewhat arrogant, at least he has the card skills to back this up. After all, in his world, your card skills are as important as your life.
Manjoume is a dueling prodigy and he knows it. His cards are the deadliest there are. Rich, intelligent, confident, powerful, possessing the rarest cards, finest technology, and utter ass-kicking skills. Indeed, Manjoume would command the respect of all, but for one minor detail: He's a total dork.
He's calm. He's collected. And the instant he sees the girl of his dreams, he abandons all forms of dignity, hand-crafts large signs with pink hearts proclaiming his love for her, and even goes so far as to accidentally doom the world to win her heart. Large pink jackets, shouting in horrible engrish? Full-steam ahead!
And if that weren't enough, three of his cards have spirits living in them. While most cards are just plain cardboard, his have three ten-inch-tall aliens in thongs following him around. The "Ojama Brothers" view him as their big brother. And he and his rival are the only ones that can see them.
Sample Post:
Zombies. Frikkin' zombies. I used to play a goddamn deck of Zombies, but these things are anything but the cool monsters I played. These things are honestly rotting things that were once people. Just glad they're no one I used to know.
Well, they probably deserved whatever they did to put them in such a state anyway. If they're going to go pick a fight with something strong enough to kill them and zombify them, they're probably dumb enough to deserve it. Why are they staggering towards me, anyway? I should have packed a gun. Well, at least I can summon my monsters still. Card is placed on disk, lightshow goes, and out comes a zombie. Solid Vision system works even here, thank god.
Okay, my zombie got eaten by a... dinosaur. Why are there dinosaurs. What do I have that can beat a dinosaur? A tank should work. A tank beats a raptor... unless... my tank is ditching me. My tank is ditching me for a robotic cow. I just got jilted by a friggin' machine... I... I think this is a good time to run away.
Son of a bitch OW. Who left a stuffed animal in the middle of the path where people will trip over it? Well. Girls are supposed to like stuffed animals for some reason. And I suppose it qualifies as "cute"... Maybe if I keep it for Asuka, she'll go on a date with me! That'd make this whole camp worth it! Zombies, raptors, and robotic bovines shall not stop me from winning Asuka's heart!
Assuming she likes stuffed animals. Incredibly realistic ones. Of a moogle. Someone had too much free time in making it. Hell, it even moves. And stands. And looks up. And... kupos angrily...

Character: Suika Ibuki
Series: The Touhou Project
Age: Unknown - Stated as several hundred years, though in terms of mental age and how she looks... 12-14 is probably being a little generous
Canon: Suika is an Oni. While race is usually considered irrelevant in the world she's from, (where ghosts, demons, and humans pretty casually blow eachother to bits for reasons ranging from 'I'm bored' to 'something happened and you're in the area, so you must have been behind it') Suika takes her belief in her race to the extreme. Oni are superior to everyone else, that's just how it is. She's also the only Oni to have shown up in centuries, and has no idea where the rest of the Oni are, so she's essentially taken it upon herself to represent her entire race in all of its good ways! She's carefree, strong, fast, capable of throwing random things together to make boulders at will, is a great hostess when it comes to social functions, and honestly tries to help people with their problems.
When it comes down to it though, she's a brat, and her hobbies include partying, spying on vast numbers of people simultaniously, annoying people about it when they're alone with her, drinking vast amounts of alcohol that would kill most life forms, and of course, telling people that Oni are superior to them. As such, she's not particularly well known for making friends. Quite likely the only reason anyone can stand her at all is due to the fact that virtually everyone else is just as socially stunted as she is, if not moreso. And because she can throw a good party.
Her most notable ability is her control over "density", which allows her to turn herself into a thin mist that allows her to be in many places at once, grow into a gigantic version of herself, and gather things together with a wind-up of her arm. She's also never without a legendary Oni artifact, a gourd that never runs dry.
Sample Post:
Hey, Camp Fuck You Die! Are you ready to party?! Because I know I am! Let's burn the camp to the ground! ...I mean that metaphorically of course, if we really did that the next party wouldn't be nearly as good, as let's face it, zombies with scorch marks don't make good guests. Oh wait, I haven't itroduced myself, have I? Name's Suika Ibuki, and I'm an Oni. That basically means that I could tear your arm off and beat you to death with it if I wanted to, but I'm a good host, don't you think, Generic Zombie That Only Goes Down In One Hit? Honestly, it'd be nice if you zombies would at least give me a name so I don't have to name you by how many hits you can take, but I acknowledge that with your limited brain capacity, and the fact that you only say brains limits your options when it comes to introducing yourself. Still though, the Gorillas at least can introduce themselves. Eek Eek Ook is a perfect example of that! As is Ack Ook Eek! ...Though for some reason, it feels like they're insulting me...
But let's forget about that! Where was I? Oh right, thanks Toucan! I was going to explain what an Oni such as myself is doing by gracing this camp with my presence! As we all know, this is a nightmarish, unescapable place filled with monsters, dead people, and people from worlds I've probably never heard of... which actually sounds a bit like home when I think about it, but never mind that! Anyways, seeing this, I saw that there is a great need for Oni presence! All your parties will belong to me, as any great party should! I'm also here to fix your problems! Not just you, One Hit Zombie, but the Gorillas and the Toucans too! Let's also not forget the campers! If you have any problems... Well, you don't need to talk to me, since I'll find out about them anyways. And I'm speaking ahead of time here, but no I won't help you play Brain Limbo, or help you eat a camper. If you're gonna play a game or fight, win on your own or you're not playing at all!
Eh? What's going on, Eek Eek Ook? You're going to take me to the campers, right? What great service this place has! Drinks for everybody!

Character: Draco Malfoy
Series: Harry Potter
Age: 16
Canon: Tall and slender, Draco has a pale, sharp-featured
face, sleek white-blond hair, and cold, light grey eyes. His family is
wealthy, and Harry considers him spoiled, arrogant, and selfish. Draco
frequently taunts Ron Weasley about his family's poor financial standing and
treats Hermione Granger with disdain for being Muggle-born, frequently
calling her a "Mudblood". He and his family believe magic should be kept
within all wizarding families and shun those they consider "unworthy" to
study magic.
In other words, Draco is a prat but you know you love him anyway.

where the baths are. Keep your hands off my robes, if you don't mind.
They're of the highest quality and not something for the likes of you
to touch. Has anyone ever told you that you smell absolutely disgusting? No?
Well, you do.
On second thought, forget the baths. Just tell me where to find the nearest
fireplace and I'll find my own way home where the facilities are assuredly
much better than anything you can produce. I mean, really. What do
you have that could possibly make up for this being a swamp?
Hold on a second. You aren't a muggle. You aren't even alive, are you?
Don't- What did I say about touching me!? Incendio!
No doubt this is somehow Potter's fault.

Character: Reika
Series: Gantz
Age: ~16
Canon: Gantz is the heartwarming story of a teenaged boy named Kurono Kei who dies a horribly gruesome death, gets transported to a room full of similarly dead people, and is made to go on hunts to brutally slaughter aliens on the orders of a big black ball. Through the powers of story progression and character development, our hero becomes slightly less of an asshole, gains some friends, a girlfriend, admirers, and becomes incredibly badass.
Enter Reika, a popular Japanese idol known for her looks and incredibly (and I mean incredibly) ample chest. After dying during a mass killing spree in Shinjuku, she gets transported to the room with the black ball, and is made to play the game--kill or be killed. At first, Reika does a whole lot of nothing, mainly standing back and letting the boys deal with it and throwing in a few well-placed "KYAA!"s in there. But soon enough, Reika finds her courage and manages to turn into an incredibly formidable fighter against some of the strongest opponents Gantz can throw at the team--at one point, she's even nominated to be their leader.
When she's not being an alien-destroying, gun-toting babe, Reika is, surprisingly enough, a rather quiet, polite, and almost shy girl. She's alarmingly normal despite her fame, incredibly caring, and willing to sacrifice anything for the people she loves--"people" in this case being none other than Kurono himself, who she has fallen for hard, fast, and rather unrequitedly. She even goes as far as to ensure the safety of Kurono's girlfriend at an incredible personal cost.
Sample Post:
This doesn't look right... but I guess I should be used to unexpected things happening by now. It's just that when my agent said I would be able to find an American market because of my... my talents, I don't think he meant something like this.
It's a little worrying, coming all the way out here with no one else. I was told they would send me to LA, not... Louisiana? Maybe there was a mix-up. After all, I guess the names can be abbreviated similarly, Too bad, I really wanted to see Hollywood. But I guess America is America, and even if it's a little odd to be filming a commercial for shotguns, there's no better place, right? I heard there's a big market for that sort of thing around here--big guns for big people, that's the saying, right? ...no? Oops, sorry, I guess I don't know as much about this country as I thought.
I wonder if I should try to do something about the people following me. I mean, I'm sort of used to being stared at, but it never stops being embarrassing, and this crowd is especially... um. They're very strange, definitely not regular fans (--is this an American thing, or...?). For one, they seem to be decaying a little, and they're not able to speak properly. ...ah, I take that back, they're talking now. One's... one's claiming the "drumstick" for himself and another the... the "breast." So, um, either they're planning on eating me, or they're just like a stalker I had once. I can tell you from personal experience that neither option is very appealing...
I've also seemed to attract a group of gorillas I think. It's scary to say that they're more articulate than the other crowd--I can actually make out complete sentences with them, even if it's carried out in a series of grunts. I'm used to being grunted at, anyway. They're also dressed slightly better, although their coloring and that makeup, it's very '80s--perhaps America is behind on the times? I didn't think the time difference would have this much of an effect. And, ah, they're claiming to be a... what? An idol group called 'The Misfits' apparently, and I think they have a problem with me. After all, they're definitely trying to start something, taunting me and saying they're better, and that they're going to get me. I don't understand why they're--
...oh, oh no this is part of the game, isn't it? It's never happened like this before! This is outrageous! Truly, truly, truly outrageous!

Character: Tohru Kouno
Series: Princess Princess
Age: 15
Canon: The prestigious Fujimori Academy is an all-boys school with a very special tradition. Every year, three first year students are chosen to be "Princesses" for their good (read: girly) looks and popularity. The Princesses dress in women's clothing, cheer for various school events and generally "use their beauty to ease the tension at school," but of course, not for free.
The most interested in the monetary benefits of the Princesses is Tohru Kouno. Trying his best not to be a strain on his family, he agrees to be a Princess as soon as the cold, hard numbers are brought in. Tohru has a healthy dash of snark in him, a quick mind and even quicker adaptability levels. For him, it's easier to do what people expect him to do. Tohru and his roommate Yuujirou are BFFs in true 12-year old girl fashion. They tease and make fun of other people (Tohru being the first to relent) and react in almost the same ways to a situation.
Sample Post:
Tohru-chan has arrived! Everyone, please have a nice day and work hard!
...There, that should hold everyone back while I figure out my schedule and tasks. Also, do I have to pose with the prop any longer? Iiiit doesn't look happy to be here, if you catch my drift, and the photographer is running late. He must be very talented, to have so many gigs when he's disabled. And, on that note, I'd heard of the visually-impaired, but never "living-impaired". Are zombies so common here that they hold down jobs and have politically correct terms for their condition? I could learn to live with it. Student photographers drool as much, but it's never my brain they admire when they get behind the camera.
I got a head start and checked out all the clubs on my way to the photoshoot. For a camp styled itself as the happiest place on earth, it looks pretty run down... Great! So the reports my school received are true, then. I had my doubts, because who'd believe that the maintenance budget gets squandered on putting campers in embarrassing outfits, right? But it's all good now. That means the other part wasn't sweet-talking either! The money saved with the ban on sugar and alcohol is really going all to the Princesses. Two months here and I could put myself through college!
By the way, it was hard to accept at first, but I've come to understand that weird things happen to one's mind when someone attends school or camp all year long. There aren't enough girls for all the guys, you settle for something different and change your idea of what's cute. I'm not sure about this costume, though. No, no, the dress is fine, ruffles and lace are par for the course. But what is it about the so-called prop that people here like so much - that it's actually alive? The feathers? That look... like it wants to bite me again? Yeah, you know what I mean. The "prop"? A toucan.
Well, whatever will make people happy. If I have to go by the zombies's reactions, no one will be able to take their eyes off me! That's okay, but hands are something else entirely. I can't pose with live birds if I'm trying to get away, that much should be obvious. So, I really hope I only have to give someone's hands back to them once and it doesn't become routine. Remember, toucan look, but toucan't touch~ ♥
Applicant #2
Character: Kouno Tohru
Series: Princess Princess (official Japanese site)
Age: 15
Canon: After his parents died when he was young, Kouno Tohru moved in with his aunt, uncle, and their daughter Sayaka. Raised as their son, Tohru grew to be a happy and rather normal teenager. However, due to a variety of spoilery reasons, Tohru suddenly transferred out of the school he had been going to, and into the elite, all-male Fujimori High, where he becomes a "Princess." Originally a bit reluctant to take on this role, in which the prettiest freshman boys dress as girls to boost morale, Tohru accepts the job when he learns of the benefits and privileges involved.
Tohru is a kind person, though he enjoys teasing others. He's very enthusiastic about being a Princess and has no qualms about doing what he needs to do. He often feels guilty about the strain he places on his uncle and aunt because they need to support him, so he does whatever he can to alleviate that. He uses his job as Princess as a stress reliever and to distract him from his problems and enjoys it much more than he thought he would.
Sample Post:
Uncle, Aunt, Sayaka,
I have arrived safely in America. Despite its strange name, I'm sure Camp Fuck You Die is perfectly safe; the school wouldn't have sent me here otherwise. It's a very interesting place, with a great variety of trees and plants, as well as many unique animals. There's even a lake here! I've already met one resident of the Camp's lake when I visited the shore--the brochure said her name is Marcy and she's very, very friendly.
Rest assured, it's all very normal here and there's absolutely nothing that is out of the ordinary. There's absolutely no cause for alarm and there most definitely isn't any danger at all. Please don't worry about me, I'll write back as soon as I can.
-Tohru.
Well, it's true. Mostly, anyways. At least I didn't out right lie anywhere. Except for the normal part, maybe. And the part about this place being safe. Uh.......at least they won't worry about me this way! Now, it'd be nice if I could actually send this out. I don't get the point of giving us a laptop if it refuses to find any browser pages beyond "Livejournal." Oh well, at least I got a new laptop out of this. And since the Student council paid for the whole trip as well as promised me extra privliges when I get back...I'll do my best ♥~!
Assuming my duties are the same as back home, I'll pose for photos (an autographed one is a special case, please speak to me first about it and we'll arrange something ♥), and even in this climate that's absolutely horrible to my skin, I'll cheer for the sports teams to raise morale! Wait, are there sports teams here? Well, uh, I'll cheer for...whatever needs cheering for! Building cabins out of popsicle sticks, water balloon fights, singing campfire songs! All those summer camp-y things I hear Americans like to do.
But first! Could someone please give me a hand? I'm afraid my trunk is stuck in the mud. I'd really appreciate it. If I keep trying to pull it out, I may break a nail and I'd hate for that to happen. I can't afford to ruin my nails! I simply can't be a proper Princess with messed up nails. If I'm expected to work in this kind of place, the beautician here had better be a good one.
.......what do you mean there isn't one?

I mean, on one hand, the gang wars would take down your zombie population…but at what price?? Innocent people and… toucans will get caught in the crossfire! So I kind of…jumped on in, but I had to! I didn't know there would be this many zombie hit men! How do you get so many zombies in one camp? Is it some part of Louisiana's economy? (There's a joke about the south in there but I am too busy hitting this zombie with a limb to make it)
Naturally, Robin's nowhere to be found. And right while I'm in the weirdest fight ever what the hell. I tried looking before, but this place is HUGE and full of people, none of which are boys in green tights (unfortunately). And it's not like I could jump up on rooftops shouting, "Hey, have you seen Robin? As in Batman and? Not that I would know him personally or anything, I was just wondering! I'm normal!"
Man, sometimes I worry about Robin being around Batman all the time. … …I really am normal. No, seriously, I am.
You know what? Robin can find ME. And it can't be all THAT bad. I know I can handle some dumb ol' zombie mob. No problem.
Hold that thought. Now there's another zombie gang getting in on the action. All right! This might be my chance to escape--or no wait they're just fighting each other AND me. Someone get me out of this three-way, damnit. …fighting sort of three-way. Three-way fight. (Shut up) Of course now it's getting to camp and there're innocent bystanders EVERYWHERE. How do villains always make that happen? …Especially in a summer camp that's in the middle of January--what are you all doing here?!

Character: Manjoume Jun
Series: Yu-Gi-Oh GX (information at www.janime.info)
Age: 16-17 (At the start of season one, he's fifteen, according to http://www.janime.info/Genex/characters.html So after season two, logically, he's 16 or 17.)
Canon: ICHI! JYUU! HYAKU! SEN! MANJOUME THUNDER! Duel Academia island often reverbrates with this chant, the catchphrase of the great Manjoume Jun. Manjoume Jun is practically a legend. With his incredible duelling skills, and his family's privleged position at the forefront of the political and financial worlds, Manjoume is used to being treated with respect. And if he is somewhat arrogant, at least he has the card skills to back this up. After all, in his world, your card skills are as important as your life.
Manjoume is a dueling prodigy and he knows it. His cards are the deadliest there are. Rich, intelligent, confident, powerful, possessing the rarest cards, finest technology, and utter ass-kicking skills. Indeed, Manjoume would command the respect of all, but for one minor detail: He's a total dork.
He's calm. He's collected. And the instant he sees the girl of his dreams, he abandons all forms of dignity, hand-crafts large signs with pink hearts proclaiming his love for her, and even goes so far as to accidentally doom the world to win her heart. Large pink jackets, shouting in horrible engrish? Full-steam ahead!
And if that weren't enough, three of his cards have spirits living in them. While most cards are just plain cardboard, his have three ten-inch-tall aliens in thongs following him around. The "Ojama Brothers" view him as their big brother. And he and his rival are the only ones that can see them.

Zombies. Frikkin' zombies. I used to play a goddamn deck of Zombies, but these things are anything but the cool monsters I played. These things are honestly rotting things that were once people. Just glad they're no one I used to know.
Well, they probably deserved whatever they did to put them in such a state anyway. If they're going to go pick a fight with something strong enough to kill them and zombify them, they're probably dumb enough to deserve it. Why are they staggering towards me, anyway? I should have packed a gun. Well, at least I can summon my monsters still. Card is placed on disk, lightshow goes, and out comes a zombie. Solid Vision system works even here, thank god.
Okay, my zombie got eaten by a... dinosaur. Why are there dinosaurs. What do I have that can beat a dinosaur? A tank should work. A tank beats a raptor... unless... my tank is ditching me. My tank is ditching me for a robotic cow. I just got jilted by a friggin' machine... I... I think this is a good time to run away.
Son of a bitch OW. Who left a stuffed animal in the middle of the path where people will trip over it? Well. Girls are supposed to like stuffed animals for some reason. And I suppose it qualifies as "cute"... Maybe if I keep it for Asuka, she'll go on a date with me! That'd make this whole camp worth it! Zombies, raptors, and robotic bovines shall not stop me from winning Asuka's heart!
Assuming she likes stuffed animals. Incredibly realistic ones. Of a moogle. Someone had too much free time in making it. Hell, it even moves. And stands. And looks up. And... kupos angrily...
Does... Does my medical insurance cover "assault by rabid moogle"?

Character: Suika Ibuki
Series: The Touhou Project
Age: Unknown - Stated as several hundred years, though in terms of mental age and how she looks... 12-14 is probably being a little generous
Canon: Suika is an Oni. While race is usually considered irrelevant in the world she's from, (where ghosts, demons, and humans pretty casually blow eachother to bits for reasons ranging from 'I'm bored' to 'something happened and you're in the area, so you must have been behind it') Suika takes her belief in her race to the extreme. Oni are superior to everyone else, that's just how it is. She's also the only Oni to have shown up in centuries, and has no idea where the rest of the Oni are, so she's essentially taken it upon herself to represent her entire race in all of its good ways! She's carefree, strong, fast, capable of throwing random things together to make boulders at will, is a great hostess when it comes to social functions, and honestly tries to help people with their problems.
When it comes down to it though, she's a brat, and her hobbies include partying, spying on vast numbers of people simultaniously, annoying people about it when they're alone with her, drinking vast amounts of alcohol that would kill most life forms, and of course, telling people that Oni are superior to them. As such, she's not particularly well known for making friends. Quite likely the only reason anyone can stand her at all is due to the fact that virtually everyone else is just as socially stunted as she is, if not moreso. And because she can throw a good party.
Her most notable ability is her control over "density", which allows her to turn herself into a thin mist that allows her to be in many places at once, grow into a gigantic version of herself, and gather things together with a wind-up of her arm. She's also never without a legendary Oni artifact, a gourd that never runs dry.

Hey, Camp Fuck You Die! Are you ready to party?! Because I know I am! Let's burn the camp to the ground! ...I mean that metaphorically of course, if we really did that the next party wouldn't be nearly as good, as let's face it, zombies with scorch marks don't make good guests. Oh wait, I haven't itroduced myself, have I? Name's Suika Ibuki, and I'm an Oni. That basically means that I could tear your arm off and beat you to death with it if I wanted to, but I'm a good host, don't you think, Generic Zombie That Only Goes Down In One Hit? Honestly, it'd be nice if you zombies would at least give me a name so I don't have to name you by how many hits you can take, but I acknowledge that with your limited brain capacity, and the fact that you only say brains limits your options when it comes to introducing yourself. Still though, the Gorillas at least can introduce themselves. Eek Eek Ook is a perfect example of that! As is Ack Ook Eek! ...Though for some reason, it feels like they're insulting me...
But let's forget about that! Where was I? Oh right, thanks Toucan! I was going to explain what an Oni such as myself is doing by gracing this camp with my presence! As we all know, this is a nightmarish, unescapable place filled with monsters, dead people, and people from worlds I've probably never heard of... which actually sounds a bit like home when I think about it, but never mind that! Anyways, seeing this, I saw that there is a great need for Oni presence! All your parties will belong to me, as any great party should! I'm also here to fix your problems! Not just you, One Hit Zombie, but the Gorillas and the Toucans too! Let's also not forget the campers! If you have any problems... Well, you don't need to talk to me, since I'll find out about them anyways. And I'm speaking ahead of time here, but no I won't help you play Brain Limbo, or help you eat a camper. If you're gonna play a game or fight, win on your own or you're not playing at all!
Eh? What's going on, Eek Eek Ook? You're going to take me to the campers, right? What great service this place has! Drinks for everybody!

Character: Draco Malfoy
Series: Harry Potter
Age: 16
Canon: Tall and slender, Draco has a pale, sharp-featured
face, sleek white-blond hair, and cold, light grey eyes. His family is
wealthy, and Harry considers him spoiled, arrogant, and selfish. Draco
frequently taunts Ron Weasley about his family's poor financial standing and
treats Hermione Granger with disdain for being Muggle-born, frequently
calling her a "Mudblood". He and his family believe magic should be kept
within all wizarding families and shun those they consider "unworthy" to
study magic.
In other words, Draco is a prat but you know you love him anyway.

Where are Crabbe and Goyle? They were right behind me two seconds ago. That
portkey must have been tampered with. My father shall be informed
immediately, and whoever did it shall regret the day they were born, just
wait and see.
How can anyone stand this filth? You there, muggle. I demand you tell me
where the baths are. Keep your hands off my robes, if you don't mind.
They're of the highest quality and not something for the likes of you
to touch. Has anyone ever told you that you smell absolutely disgusting? No?
Well, you do.
On second thought, forget the baths. Just tell me where to find the nearest
fireplace and I'll find my own way home where the facilities are assuredly
much better than anything you can produce. I mean, really. What do
you have that could possibly make up for this being a swamp?
Hold on a second. You aren't a muggle. You aren't even alive, are you?
Don't- What did I say about touching me!? Incendio!
No doubt this is somehow Potter's fault.

Character: Reika
Series: Gantz
Age: ~16
Canon: Gantz is the heartwarming story of a teenaged boy named Kurono Kei who dies a horribly gruesome death, gets transported to a room full of similarly dead people, and is made to go on hunts to brutally slaughter aliens on the orders of a big black ball. Through the powers of story progression and character development, our hero becomes slightly less of an asshole, gains some friends, a girlfriend, admirers, and becomes incredibly badass.
Enter Reika, a popular Japanese idol known for her looks and incredibly (and I mean incredibly) ample chest. After dying during a mass killing spree in Shinjuku, she gets transported to the room with the black ball, and is made to play the game--kill or be killed. At first, Reika does a whole lot of nothing, mainly standing back and letting the boys deal with it and throwing in a few well-placed "KYAA!"s in there. But soon enough, Reika finds her courage and manages to turn into an incredibly formidable fighter against some of the strongest opponents Gantz can throw at the team--at one point, she's even nominated to be their leader.
When she's not being an alien-destroying, gun-toting babe, Reika is, surprisingly enough, a rather quiet, polite, and almost shy girl. She's alarmingly normal despite her fame, incredibly caring, and willing to sacrifice anything for the people she loves--"people" in this case being none other than Kurono himself, who she has fallen for hard, fast, and rather unrequitedly. She even goes as far as to ensure the safety of Kurono's girlfriend at an incredible personal cost.

This doesn't look right... but I guess I should be used to unexpected things happening by now. It's just that when my agent said I would be able to find an American market because of my... my talents, I don't think he meant something like this.
It's a little worrying, coming all the way out here with no one else. I was told they would send me to LA, not... Louisiana? Maybe there was a mix-up. After all, I guess the names can be abbreviated similarly, Too bad, I really wanted to see Hollywood. But I guess America is America, and even if it's a little odd to be filming a commercial for shotguns, there's no better place, right? I heard there's a big market for that sort of thing around here--big guns for big people, that's the saying, right? ...no? Oops, sorry, I guess I don't know as much about this country as I thought.
I wonder if I should try to do something about the people following me. I mean, I'm sort of used to being stared at, but it never stops being embarrassing, and this crowd is especially... um. They're very strange, definitely not regular fans (--is this an American thing, or...?). For one, they seem to be decaying a little, and they're not able to speak properly. ...ah, I take that back, they're talking now. One's... one's claiming the "drumstick" for himself and another the... the "breast." So, um, either they're planning on eating me, or they're just like a stalker I had once. I can tell you from personal experience that neither option is very appealing...
I've also seemed to attract a group of gorillas I think. It's scary to say that they're more articulate than the other crowd--I can actually make out complete sentences with them, even if it's carried out in a series of grunts. I'm used to being grunted at, anyway. They're also dressed slightly better, although their coloring and that makeup, it's very '80s--perhaps America is behind on the times? I didn't think the time difference would have this much of an effect. And, ah, they're claiming to be a... what? An idol group called 'The Misfits' apparently, and I think they have a problem with me. After all, they're definitely trying to start something, taunting me and saying they're better, and that they're going to get me. I don't understand why they're--
...oh, oh no this is part of the game, isn't it? It's never happened like this before! This is outrageous! Truly, truly, truly outrageous!

Character: Tohru Kouno
Series: Princess Princess
Age: 15
Canon: The prestigious Fujimori Academy is an all-boys school with a very special tradition. Every year, three first year students are chosen to be "Princesses" for their good (read: girly) looks and popularity. The Princesses dress in women's clothing, cheer for various school events and generally "use their beauty to ease the tension at school," but of course, not for free.
The most interested in the monetary benefits of the Princesses is Tohru Kouno. Trying his best not to be a strain on his family, he agrees to be a Princess as soon as the cold, hard numbers are brought in. Tohru has a healthy dash of snark in him, a quick mind and even quicker adaptability levels. For him, it's easier to do what people expect him to do. Tohru and his roommate Yuujirou are BFFs in true 12-year old girl fashion. They tease and make fun of other people (Tohru being the first to relent) and react in almost the same ways to a situation.
Sample Post:
Tohru-chan has arrived! Everyone, please have a nice day and work hard!
...There, that should hold everyone back while I figure out my schedule and tasks. Also, do I have to pose with the prop any longer? Iiiit doesn't look happy to be here, if you catch my drift, and the photographer is running late. He must be very talented, to have so many gigs when he's disabled. And, on that note, I'd heard of the visually-impaired, but never "living-impaired". Are zombies so common here that they hold down jobs and have politically correct terms for their condition? I could learn to live with it. Student photographers drool as much, but it's never my brain they admire when they get behind the camera.
I got a head start and checked out all the clubs on my way to the photoshoot. For a camp styled itself as the happiest place on earth, it looks pretty run down... Great! So the reports my school received are true, then. I had my doubts, because who'd believe that the maintenance budget gets squandered on putting campers in embarrassing outfits, right? But it's all good now. That means the other part wasn't sweet-talking either! The money saved with the ban on sugar and alcohol is really going all to the Princesses. Two months here and I could put myself through college!
By the way, it was hard to accept at first, but I've come to understand that weird things happen to one's mind when someone attends school or camp all year long. There aren't enough girls for all the guys, you settle for something different and change your idea of what's cute. I'm not sure about this costume, though. No, no, the dress is fine, ruffles and lace are par for the course. But what is it about the so-called prop that people here like so much - that it's actually alive? The feathers? That look... like it wants to bite me again? Yeah, you know what I mean. The "prop"? A toucan.
Well, whatever will make people happy. If I have to go by the zombies's reactions, no one will be able to take their eyes off me! That's okay, but hands are something else entirely. I can't pose with live birds if I'm trying to get away, that much should be obvious. So, I really hope I only have to give someone's hands back to them once and it doesn't become routine. Remember, toucan look, but toucan't touch~ ♥
Applicant #2
Character: Kouno Tohru
Series: Princess Princess (official Japanese site)
Age: 15
Canon: After his parents died when he was young, Kouno Tohru moved in with his aunt, uncle, and their daughter Sayaka. Raised as their son, Tohru grew to be a happy and rather normal teenager. However, due to a variety of spoilery reasons, Tohru suddenly transferred out of the school he had been going to, and into the elite, all-male Fujimori High, where he becomes a "Princess." Originally a bit reluctant to take on this role, in which the prettiest freshman boys dress as girls to boost morale, Tohru accepts the job when he learns of the benefits and privileges involved.
Tohru is a kind person, though he enjoys teasing others. He's very enthusiastic about being a Princess and has no qualms about doing what he needs to do. He often feels guilty about the strain he places on his uncle and aunt because they need to support him, so he does whatever he can to alleviate that. He uses his job as Princess as a stress reliever and to distract him from his problems and enjoys it much more than he thought he would.
Sample Post:
Uncle, Aunt, Sayaka,
I have arrived safely in America. Despite its strange name, I'm sure Camp Fuck You Die is perfectly safe; the school wouldn't have sent me here otherwise. It's a very interesting place, with a great variety of trees and plants, as well as many unique animals. There's even a lake here! I've already met one resident of the Camp's lake when I visited the shore--the brochure said her name is Marcy and she's very, very friendly.
Rest assured, it's all very normal here and there's absolutely nothing that is out of the ordinary. There's absolutely no cause for alarm and there most definitely isn't any danger at all. Please don't worry about me, I'll write back as soon as I can.
-Tohru.
Well, it's true. Mostly, anyways. At least I didn't out right lie anywhere. Except for the normal part, maybe. And the part about this place being safe. Uh.......at least they won't worry about me this way! Now, it'd be nice if I could actually send this out. I don't get the point of giving us a laptop if it refuses to find any browser pages beyond "Livejournal." Oh well, at least I got a new laptop out of this. And since the Student council paid for the whole trip as well as promised me extra privliges when I get back...I'll do my best ♥~!
Assuming my duties are the same as back home, I'll pose for photos (an autographed one is a special case, please speak to me first about it and we'll arrange something ♥), and even in this climate that's absolutely horrible to my skin, I'll cheer for the sports teams to raise morale! Wait, are there sports teams here? Well, uh, I'll cheer for...whatever needs cheering for! Building cabins out of popsicle sticks, water balloon fights, singing campfire songs! All those summer camp-y things I hear Americans like to do.
But first! Could someone please give me a hand? I'm afraid my trunk is stuck in the mud. I'd really appreciate it. If I keep trying to pull it out, I may break a nail and I'd hate for that to happen. I can't afford to ruin my nails! I simply can't be a proper Princess with messed up nails. If I'm expected to work in this kind of place, the beautician here had better be a good one.
.......what do you mean there isn't one?
