Character: Yotsuba Satsuki
Series: Mahou Sensei Negima!
Character Age: 15

Canon: Class 3-A of Mahora academy is not what you'd call your average group of students. Vampires, robots, mages, mad scientists . . . you name it, we've got it, the girls in the class ranging from perfectly ordinary to completely extraordinary.

Yotsuba Satsuki is closer to the 'ordinary' end of the scale. Probably. A chef who dreams of one day owning a restaurant and bringing peace and happiness to everyone she can through her food, Satsuki is a kind, sweet, and caring person. She's perceptive and notices when people look unhappy or drained, and she always does her best to cheer them up, usually with enormous success. While all this might make Satsuki sound like a pushover, she's anything but that- Satsuki has, in the past, broken up fights between college martial arts clubs with nothing more than a few simple words.

Plus, she makes a killer meatbun, and helps to run the food cart along with some of her other students.

Sample Post:

Please take a seat! ...Well, ah, a rock or a tree stump, anyway. This is a temporary food stand, so the seating situation is a bit bad right now... For those of you who can stand up, please make room for the ones without any legs, okay? Thank you for your consideration. ♥

And please stay out of the kitchen. While I appreciate you trying to help, this soup has enough ingredients in it without adding an arm. And whoever that arm belongs to, they'll definitely be wanting it back. I can handle making this on my own, so while I finish up you can go return that arm to the zombie you took it from.

Excuse me, please, you over there, please wait for the food to be served. Don't chew on your own arm, because you'll need it when the food's ready. You can't eat if you don't have any arms, you know? ♥ Plus, that kind of thing will ruin your appetite. The food is almost ready, so please be patient while I get to all of you. A good meal is always worth waiting for, after all! There, here we are. That wasn't so hard to wait for, was it?

I'm glad that you all like the food so much, but please don't fight over it. There's enough to go around, but only if you all share it equally... And 'sharing equally' doesn't mean eating someone who ate all the soup, either. That goes for all of you, too: no one is permitted to eat anyone else while you're here. If you don't like it, you can go eat elsewhere, but while you're here, it's strictly non-violent, understand?

Ah, I'm afraid that we don't carry ice cream in toucan flavour. I do have some vanilla, though-- oh, you don't want vanilla. Don't cry, it's okay... Maybe if you come back another time we'll have toucan flavour for you, okay? But for now, you can have some chocolate, free of charge. I hope you feel better soon! Remember, any zombie can achieve their dreams if they work hard enough. Never be discouraged by what other people think, and just do your best, okay? ♥

And don't forget your personal hygiene, either. That's important too.

Character: Hiro Sohma
Series: Fruits Basket
Character Age: 12

Canon: Hiro Sohma is the fast talking, smart-alik, prince of snark in Fruits Baskey. You can, more often than not, find him complaining, talking someone down, or being hypocritical. He won’t hesitate to take advantage of you reguardless of age or gender, and tends to run with ideas, giving him the habit of talking a lot. He does, however, have a soft spot for Kisa and his family.

Hiro also happens to be the ram of the zodiac, and will turn into a small brown sheep when hugged by a girl. Out of the zodiac members, he is one of the only ones who has healthy family relationships.

Sample Post:

Geez, whose bright idea was this? When my teacher said ‘long field trip’ I didn’t think they’d bring us to a dump like this. I mean, did anyone stop to think that I might not want to be shipped off to some camp in the middle of no where? Do they assume that just because I’m a kid, no one has to ask my opinion? I can’t stand inconsiderate people!

And couldn’t they at least have chosen a somewhat decent camp? “You won’t be allowed to go home until the murderer admits” or whatever. Do they seriously think that someone’s going to admit to that just because they asked? Do they think that if they said to go get run over, do they actually expect us to listen? I can already see how good a time I’m going to have here.

Of course, this better not be one of those stupid ‘follow along and solve the scary mystery!’ kind of places either. How old do they think I am, anyways? Seven? I don’t fall for silly things like that. Especially with such cheap effects. I mean, you can see the ‘zombies’ falling apart. Pathetic.

And this place, being America and all, has lame attempts at horror here. Wriggling vines? How lame can you get? Do they assume that just because it’s waving in my general direction that I’ll be afraid of it or something?

I mean, if you touch it like this you can obviously tell it’s fa--

Character: Yukihiro Ayaka
Series: Mahou Sensei Negima!
Character Age: 14

Canon: You'd think the class representative of a class of time travellers, mages, ninja, robots, ghosts and more would be a little more... representative. However, Yukihiro Ayaka is completely oblivious as to the true nature of her teacher and most of her classmates, and is instead a spectacle in her own special way. She comes from an extremely rich family--they own their own resort island, for example--and she prefers more ladylike pursuits, such as the Equestrian Club, making flowers spontaneously appear behind her as she enters a scene, and falling hopelessly in love with very illegally young British gentlemen. She spends most of her time either arguing with her classmates or sparkling profusely, depending on the situation, and she has a tendency to go far over the top, especially since money is no object for her. However, despite her rather ridiculous first impression, there are also glimpses of her more serious side in the manga, where she's shown as a true friend and a capable leader.

Sample Post:

Oh, my--cabins in the wilderness? Unnatural creatures wandering the premises? An insistence on the part of the people that they just can't leave? There's only one explanation! ...And what a tourist trap this is! Ohohoho! However, I can tell that if you're looking to have people really flock here, you'll need to make a few changes to your establishment. With my assistance borne from the experience of the Yukihiro resorts, I can help streamline this camp from an intriguing oddity to a full-blown themed lakeside getaway!

First of all, you have to understand that while sometimes people want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life, that doesn't mean that they want to do without luxury! While the thrill of the "lake monster" and the obvious souvenir shop tie-in are good, you need to make sure Marcy doesn't make a monstrous disaster of any romantic and elegant boat rides. Nothing ruins the moment like realizing that arm around your shoulder is actually a tentacle. And as far as untapped potential goes, it seems to me that your "gorillas" are very talented masseuses. Make sure it gets advertised! I'd put that in the brochure!

Secondly, the theme is a bit scattered. I'm sure with so many good ideas, you wanted to include them all. But while the zombies and the lake monster add to the atmosphere, I can't say your toucans have any connection! Just because everyone loves a tropical paradise doesn't mean that you need some tropical paradise in your haunted summer camp. The myth about the mysterious murder is a good idea; why not add more tragic tales instead of feathered ones? That is, unless you can combine the ideas more flawlessly--but somehow the idea of zombies in Hawaiian shirts falls rather... flat.

Regardless of your current publicity and image issues, I must say that this place must really work wonders. Why, I've overheard amazing things since coming here! One young lady said that after coming here, she felt like a whole new person. And one man said he felt ten years younger! You could attract droves of people with testimonies like that! And if that young man or any other really did lose ten years... well, as a responsible woman, I'd make sure to take care of them! ♥

Character: Haseo
Series: .hack//G.U.
Character Age: 17

Canon: In the year 2017, there is an enormously popular MMORPG called
"The World". Haseo, a character that exists in The World, is a famous PKK (a
player who kills player killer characters) searching for a mysterious PK known
as Tri-Edge, who sent Haseo's close friend Shino into a coma. Because of
his Supar Speshal Main Character Powers, Haseo is recruited by a small group of sys
admins to combat a mysterious entity known as AIDA that is wreaking havoc within the game world
in exchange for information about Tri-Edge. Since that time, Haseo has spent
his time fighting AIDA, being dragged off on (mostly) irrelevant side quests by
his party members, searching for Tri-Edge, and giving ten-year-old megalomaniacs
a well deserved ass kicking. But mostly the first two.

Personality-wise, Haseo is fairly badass. He's brusque, short-tempered, and
has a bit of an attitude problem. He also doesn't have much tolerance for idiots.
But there are also parts of Haseo's personality that he doesn't like to show as
much; the parts that show a desperate young man trying to find a cure for his
friend's coma, and the part that is determined to protect his friends from
meeting a similar fate.

Sample Post:

Man, I just love getting these e-mails--"Haseo, go to this area, we've
detected AIDA there. Haseo, go to that area, there's a signal coming
from there, too. Haseo, go to the area called Scheming Obsessive Director,
we think there may be AIDA there, but we're not sure." Not sure? The hell.
Either there's a signal here or not. Make up your minds already.

This area's a real piece of work, too. The regular monsters are all level
one zombies but the boss monster in the lake has a level of...over nine
thousand?! That can't be right, the level cap for this game is only 150.
There's definitely something wrong with this area, but I don't think it's AIDA.

I'm going to send an e-mail and make sure this is the right area.
Now--wait, it bounced back?! It says "We're sorry, your message cannot be
completed as requested. Please check your reality and try again. In addition, an
I Don't Care error was encountered. Try bending over and kissing your ass
goodbye. If that doesn't work, you should--" There's no way that's
a real error message. In fact...

...I get it now. It all makes sense. This is the work of a hacker. It explains
why the area's so messed up and why I can't send e-mail. It explains the weird
error message. It even explains why all my special attacks suddenly sound like
the titles of low grade porn films. "Rapist's Touch"? "Boner Crusher"? Yeah,
definitely the work of a hacker.

Wait, there's someone else here. Hey, you! The purple beastman! Are you
the hacker who made this area? If so, your level design sucks! What? My A/S/L?
Forget it! And your second suggestion is just stupid--this character wasn't made
anatomically correct. And don't even ask about cybering. Spamming me with cat
macros over IM isn't going to help your cause either, moron.

Name: Suzuki Sonoko
Age: 16-17 (in 11th grade)
Series: Detective Conan (dubbed as Case Closed)

Canon: Detective Conan is the story of cocky teenage detective Kudou Shinichi who bit off more than he could chew. As a result, he was force-fed an untested poison that, instead of killing him, shoutafied him. In order to find the organization that did this to him, he’s staying at his not!girlfriend Ran’s house, pretending to be a grade-schooler named Edogawa Conan while solving murder mysteries for the cops on the side.

Sonoko knows none of this. As far as she’s concerned, Conan is just her best friend’s dweeby little house guest who gets in the way too often, while Shinichi is away on some “big case” and hardly ever comes to visit (the jerk). In reality, Sonoko is envious of Shinichi and Ran’s close relationship, and spends most of her time looking for a cute boy she can go out with. This trend continues even after she picks up a not!boyfriend of her own, which she excuses by saying that he’s overseas training and not with her.

Despite appearing to be little more than a spoiled rich girl, Sonoko is a good person at heart: she’s extremely loyal to her friends, doesn’t chase boys who are already involved, and won’t hesitate to do the right thing when the going gets tough.

Sample post:

Hey, has anyone seen a guy about so tall with a karate gi, glasses and a band aid right here? He was supposed to be in some training camp in America, but I don't see him anywhere. If it's this hard to find him, he probably doesn't care about me any more, and I should just forget about him and find a new boyfriend here. With how many guys there are, it can't be too much of a problem to find someone to go out with on Friday night.

...Or at least that's what I was thinking, but things haven't turned out that well. It's always the same with boys, too - either there's someone else they're interested in, they turn out to be serial killers, or their lips fall off when you try to kiss them. It's bad enough when you have to tell them to keep their eyes in their sockets, but when you mean it literally? No thank you. My boyfriend has to be able to keep his life together, and that means keeping his body from falling apart.

Speaking of falling apart, this place is a dump. I was expecting well-built cabins and sidewalks, not ram-shackle hovels and dirt trails. What's this supposed to be, the wilderness? Who's in charge here, anyway?

Well, I'm going to find this Director person then, and give her a piece of my mind! She'll have no reason to complain, everyone else here seems to want some of it. And if that doesn’t work, I can just call my dad up and have him write her a check; I’m sure she won’t have any problems the right amount of money can't fix.

Maybe I'll run into that Loudspeaker guy while I'm there too; he sure had a hunky voice. And maybe he'll ask me out, and we'll begin a heart-pounding romance here at summer camp - and then after dating for six months, he'll propose to me and we'll have a huge wedding right here, with all the campers cheering us on and the beautiful scenery as our backdrop: the flowers, the lake, the trees...

Well. Maybe just the flowers. The rest of it will need to be ...redecorated.

Character Name: Sonken Chuubobu
Age: approximately 18 (historical)
Series: Kotetsu Sangokushi (official site)

Canon: Kotetsu Sangokushi is based loosely on the the Three Kingdoms historical period in China. This is a world much more mystical than our own magic and prophecy are a part of warcraft as much as swords and bows, women don't really exist, and dresses robes and curly pink hair are apparently the highest in fashion. The Three Kingdoms of Shoku, Go and Gi are engaged in a battle to see who can conquer everyone else first and get all the shiny treasures to boot. Throw in one very nervous young Prophesied Wielder of the (all-purpose box of Deus Ex Machina, Producer of Sword Arms and Powerful Angst known as the) Imperial Seal, named Rikuson Hakugen, and you have a hoedown, or at least, a series of Srs Business.

Sonken is a quiet, polite and observant young man who prefers to spend his time alone among his flowers or with one of a few friends to dealing with the politics of court or the contests of battle. He prefers to aim for a life full of beauty (including his personal appearance) and meaning instead one of fame and glory, or power, much like the war for territory that obsesses his brother, Sonsasku Hakufu, Emperor of Go and wielder of unimaginable power via the Imperial Seal. However, the assassination of his brother by agents of the country of Gi forces Sonken to rise to the throne as Emperor. Now he tries to do his best to protect his country and his people with his wits and the considerable force of his charisma. Hopefully, he can win the war his brother started with Gi without going crazy from dealing with his new responsibilities first.

Note : Characters in this series are called by their Japanese names instead of the more common Chinese ones. Sonken is more commonly known as Sun Quan, Komei as Konming, Go as Wu, Gi as Wei, and Shoku as Shu.

Ah, right here, Master Zombie? Wouldn't a speech be too intrusive? These people all look occupied with their reading on their, er, whatever they are. What was that? They're just refreshing LiveJournal, and they can spare me a few moments? It'll be good for the databases? Well, if you're very sure that would help them, here I go!

Dear citizens of Go! I know my coronation tour had been postponed by the current state of affairs in the countryside. But, even though many tragedies have befallen us all, it is time that we step forward as a nation to address these wrongs. I am confident in the prowess of the nation as a whole: I know my brother, may he rest well with our ancestors in Heaven, had done much to encourage our martial strength with the might of the Imperial Seal. Though we may have lost its direct strength, all hope is not lost, for we have the might of its right arm and the cunning of two empires, Go and Shoku. Together, we will stand against the threat of Gi and take back what is rightfully ours! I call opon each and ever one of you to step up and do your best in this time of strife, for the good of our nation!

There, how was that for a first attempt, Master Zombie? I, mn, think it might be a little forceful, but I suppose I don't have a lot of practice giving speechs yet. If Master Komei hadn't said that it was to be expected of a new ruler, I don't think my advisors would have let me go on this tour of the country at all. Especially with just these guards who seem to have gotten us very lost. And after all, I sent them off a few hours ago to find the road again and they still haven't returned. This is very worrisome, considering how close we are to the border of Gi, but I think I heard them shouting in the distance a few moments ago, so I hope they'll be back soon. And at least I have time to practice my speeches with some company, which I'm entirely in your debt for Master. Let me consult my notes for a moment before I try again. I fear that I forgot a few things--hm? Advice?

I'm afraid that I don't think "imagining me naked" is going to help me relax here, Master, nor is "lay back and think of Go." Indeed, I came to speak to my people, not to just stand there and look pretty and say nothing! This is a time for Go to act!

--And not that kind of action, thank you. I appreciate the compliment on my appearance, but I think I know if I'm a woman or not, and I don't think I need that checked. Please remove that hand from there before I am forced remove it for you, sir.
