Character: Tokiha Mai
Series: Mai-HiME
Character age: 16
Canon: The day Tokiha Mai saves a girl's life with CPR is - pardon the cliché - the day her life changes. When attacked by the person hunting said girl, Mai awakens her HiME (Highly advanced Materializing Equipment) powers: the ability to materialize weapons and an animal-like mecha companion out of thin air. And her new transfer school isn't precisely what it appears to be: its Director, Mashiro, is collecting HiMEs, and Mai's the newest addition. Their purpose? To destroy other-dimensional monsters called Orphans - without, you know, blowing up the school.
Even while trying to cope with her newfound pyrotechnic abilities, Mai strives to continue to lead a normal life: she's a responsible sister to her sickly younger brother, teases her friends, goes out to karaoke, and even falls in love… when she's not getting rid of monsters, of course. She's very self-sufficient and hates to burden others with her problems; she'd rather say that her many part-time jobs are a hobby instead of admitting that she works to pay for her brother's surgery. Mai is naturally a kind and helpful person, energetic, and has a positive outlook on life. But she's not without the occasional dose of sulkiness and sarcasm when the mood strikes her. Sounds like a normal teenaged girl, right? … Well, she tries to be.

Aaaah -- n-noooo, not again! It's - ow, it's so rough! And it's just so thick and - and -- aackpbt!
All right, this is the last time I get a job so far out from the city. I like to try new things, but I also like it when they're easily accessible! And when people don't even trim the hedges away from the path I'm supposed to walk on… Honestly. It's like they don't want people to come here, or you have to be really persistent.
Is that the welcoming committee? The camp's director herself, maybe? Hello, good morning! I'm Tokiha Mai, and it's nice to meeeeeeeeeeeeaaah NO GO AWAY! Oh my God, what was that? A zombie? An Orphan? A zombie Orphan? Oh geez, I should have known this wasn't what it seemed to be. Director Mashiro made it too easy. "Go take this job, Mai," she said. "I know it's important to you, Mai. I'll even give you permission to miss school, Mai." She didn't mention any Orphans! Ooooh, when I see her again, I'm going to give her a piece of my mind…!
But… I guess it wouldn't hurt too much if I checked out how many of those Orphan-zombie things are around here. I can't ignore them just because I got tricked into this. Besides, it shouldn't take me long to clean them up; they're not that bad compared to the ones from home. It'll be just like washing dishes at the restaurant! …if the dishes were oozing slime and dropping body parts on me - okay, that's a bad comparison. If I head towards the center area, I'll probably find someone to ask-ara? Was that a radio? But there's nothing here except those birds and - wait, it sounds like some kind of distress signal…
What? Timmy fell into the lake again? And he's not breathing? I… I do know CPR, yes! If I get there fast enough, I can definitely save his life, don't worry!

Character: Khairelikoblepharehglukumeilichephreidosd'enagouni (“Fred”)
Series: Young Wizards
Age: unknown, but seems to be young and inexperienced for his... species
Canon: The Young Wizards series revolves around the battle between the embodiment of evil and death, the Lone Power, and the protectors of good and life, a group of (you guessed it) wizards, many of whom are in fact young. What a surprise! So it’s these kids’ jobs to stop the Lone Power’s dastardly plots and bit by bit extend the life of the universe through the use of their magic. But the first time we see this magic in progress, something seems to go horribly wrong and through an odd chain of events, two of the wizards pull something to Earth from the deepest parts of outer space. They dub it “Fred.”
Fred is not a wizard. Instead, he is what one might call a “white hole,” a tiny spot of light the size of a pinpoint with a mass so large that its gravity could instantly destroy the Earth. Fortunately, he decided to leave all his mass somewhere else for a while, and so is just a weightless little speck that floats around emitting different forms of energy and, occasionally, matter. Endlessly surprised by the differences between Earth and the near-lifeless area of space he hails from, Fred spends most of his time jumping between politely curious and utterly fascinated. But even though he’s well-liked for being such a courteous and loyal friend, he struggles with self-assurance issues and tends to become flustered or upset when he is unable to help the people he cares about... or when he accidentally emits something embarrassing like an encyclopedia, or a bar of gold, or an entire Learjet. You know how it goes.

Amazing. Simply amazing. All this life packed into such a small space; and so many different kinds as well! Tell me, are you hairy fellows always this shade of purple? Because I can’t say I’ve ever met anyone on Earth of that particular color; though I also can’t say why that is. It’s a very nice tint you know, and even I enjoy emitting it from time to time. Would you like to see? If not, then perhaps another time...
But about this “camp.” I realize that it’s on Earth, of course, but when I asked for directions and was told that I was “nowhere near” New York anymore... Well, your types do always have such odd ideas about long and short distances I’m learning, though it still seems a bit silly putting all this life so close together. I mean, if something even as small as your cute little moon were to come crashing down, what do you think would happen? ...it has happened here? Artificer within us, how did your species survive that? And how did the moon get back into its orbit? ...I- I’m not sure that, “It got better,” is a proper answer.
If that should happen again, though, perhaps I could help. I have some experience with moons, you see, though the last time I thought I’d blown my quanta and gone to the Good Place, so I’m not sure exactly what I’m doing here... Well, I’ve heard that the powerful wizardry of one referred to as “the Director” brought me, but there’s always a greater reason for these types of meetings. Trust me; I know what I'm talking about. So I wonder what it is I’m here to do for her and for whatever else may have wanted me here... Oh, I hope I’m not late for either! That would be horrible, but there have been hints that I would have found a fitting job here only a few days ago. At a sort of festival of lights, I believe! Though I do wonder what a “sparkler” is exactly and why I would supposedly make an excellent one. It sounds terrible to have missed such a thing, I know, but I’m assured there will be another like it in half a year or so. And besides, I can emit things much more impressive than just the spectrum of light. My X rays are particularly nice, if you’d ever like me to shine a few of those for you.
And of course I can emit matter as well; I’ve even been getting quite a bit better at it lately. Though I’m not sure exactly what “hot dogs” or “freedom fries” are, I’m sure I could give it a try for everyone since they’re supposed to be so crucial during the event. As long as they’re not too large, I mean, because I’m sure you all wouldn’t want me to hurt my gnaester.
Y-yes, I admit that this part of my structure may seem interesting to you, but there’s really not much for you or your other violet associates to learn! Its function is exit only, and I absorb through another method entirely! No amount of force is going to change that! Please calm yourselves, friends, and keep away from my gnaester! I emit from there!

Character: Skuld
Series: Ah, My Goddess. (Website: http://www.advfilms.com/titles/ah%20my%20goddess/index.html)
Character Age: Her appearance is around 14 to 17 years old. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skuld_%28Oh_My_Goddess%21%29) (If wiki is not an acceptable source, the fact both Urd and Belldandy here and this clearly states Belldandy is older than Skuld, she should fit the age requirements. http://www.advfilms.com/titles/ah%20my%20goddess/profiles.html)
Canon: Skuld is a Goddess, Second Class, First Catergory, Limited License. She is one of Yggdrasil's debuggers so that the System doesn't cause any ill effects towards the Earth. She has two older sisters, her half sister Urd who she has a more of a typical sibling rivalry relationship with and then there is the sister in the middle of their ages, Belldandy. Though Skuld does love Urd, she absolutely adores Belldandy. Belldandy is the type of Goddess she wants to become and she is always seeking Belldandy's praise and attention. So much so that when Belldandy granted a wish of Keiichi Morisato to be his girlfriend, she became quite jealous. For a while, she dealt with that jealousy. Then Urd left. Finally, Skuld's jealousy and, admittedly, her loneliness in Heaven combined inside her for her to descend from Heaven and try and get her sisters, especially Belldandy, to come back to Heaven with her. At first she had plotted to use bugs she put in the System and saying that Belldandy's absence was the cause to get her back, but when the situation went out of control, she was found out and had to scrap the plan. So instead, she decided to stay on Earth with the excuse of training her unrefined Goddess powers as well as keep an eye on Keiichi to make sure he doesn't do anything indecent to Belldandy. Since then, Skuld has made friends with some of the people Keiichi knows as well as his sister and a boy named Sentaro. Skuld prefers to work alone, believing herself the best with machines around. Which, she kind of is. Not many people can build sentient robots, a scythe to cut tenth dimensional chains, and other such things from something like a toaster or other common appliances. However, she has learned that it wouldn't be so bad to let others help her build the machine and get the parts. Skuld loves sweets, especially ice cream, and she loves to build. She is also a brat and will often act quite childish and is willing to manipulate a situation to her advantage. Though, in the end, she is a sweet girl and would never do any real harm. She makes sure all her weapons are non-lethal because she knows how trigger happy she can be. Recently, after dealing with a demon that eats Angels, Skuld has hatched her angel egg, and this time properly, and gained her angel, Noble Scarlet.

Why am I always being left behind?!
This is the second time both Oneechan and Urd left me behind! I mean, I can understand Urd, she does whatever she wants anyway. But Oneechan?! She was supposed to come back! But no! Instead I was left with Keiichi! I mean, sure, he's not as bad as he used to be, but what point do I have being there is Oneechan isn't there?!
Even SIGEL was starting to wonder where they were. And Sigel doesn't usually show much care for others anyway. Not to mention Velsper. She's been freaking out, asking me constantly when Oneechan was coming back. Even when walking around town. I'm pretty sure people thought I was insane at yelling at a little black cat. But it was so annoying that she kept asking! I wanted to know the same thing! If I knew, I would have told her!
And this barrier thing? Didn't make it any easier! I had to go to Heaven and ask Peorth to tell me where she was. Of course, that took forever because of something about the undead she was working on.
But, I digress, once I did know where Oneechan was, it was pretty easy to get here. Not even that barrier stopped me from getting in through the water routes. Good thing too. I wasn't going to let something like that stop me.
Now, I just need to find Oneechan! Oh, and I should find Urd too. I do admit, I am just a little bit worried about her too.

Character name: Mashiro Ichijo
Series: After School Nightmare
Age: 16
Canon: In a school where graduation happens only when the right time comes, a special after school class takes place in the basement infirmary. Select students participate in sharing a dream, as they step into an nightmarish world where everyone takes on their true forms. Everyone is anonymous in this dream setting, taking on their true appearance which is that of their innermost self. Each student has a task to complete through getting the key that will allow them to graduate. By taking on this task, the students have to face their own demons and insecurities. They only wake up or fail when the beads they wear--a symbol of their hearts--take enough damage so as to break.
Like other selected students, Mashiro Ichijo is struggling to keep a secret. Mashiro is the ideal gentleman; kind-hearted, popular, and princely. He would be the perfect man, except for the fact that he was born with no distinctive gender. Mashiro is neither male nor female, and is the only student to appear in the dreams in his everyday day form (if in a schoolgirl uniform). Ichijo is conflicted and confused about his body to the point of self-loathing. Anyone would, really, going through life with girlbits down there, and nothing up there. He justifies his self worth through finding a sense of purpose and through taking care of people. Self destructively stubborn, Mashiro tends to fixate on needing to become a man with a steady heart. He is fiercely protective of his loved ones, but his misplaced good intentions are hurdled by his naivete and inexperience.
Sample Post:
This must be the longest I've been in a dream yet, not that it's easy to measure the passage of time when you've been in a cave, of all places I wonder whose dream that was, anyway. The cave setting was a new one, and I didn't recognize any of the regular dreamers around there. Most of them had the most interesting forms. I thought I've seen how perfectly normal people can incarnate in distorted forms in our dreams, but these appearances keep surprising me. although I wish the roller blading spider would stop skating over me every time I turned my back at it. It's not like he can get the key out of me if I'm pancaked.
It's a wonder I managed to survive with my bead intact for this long. I only had to go through three trap doors, one surprise boulder, and a loose tile powering shooting flames. The chests in the cave's random chambers were a nice touch, although I'm not sure what to do with the baseball bat I was equipped with, or why the chests were all labeled "Objects of Phallic Importance".. This subconscious should lose points for inconsistency, if anything. I know that the weapons we get to use and our forms depend entirely on our state of mind, but I don't remember my mind making this disgraceful uniform skirt even shorter! And since when has it been a sailor school uniform, of all things? I don't care if my own subconscious likes boys in uniforms school uniforms.
I thought things would get better once I found my way out of the caves and into the... Swamp area, apparently. I'm not sure why the few dreamers around this area are taking on near identical rotting forms. One zombie, I can get that. Two zombies is pushing it. Three- no, please keep that trench coat on! Nothing you'd want me to see, now. You shouldn't be flashing people, distorted inner nature or not! There could be ladies around, not that I'm one or anything, of course. Actually, I don't care what you're keeping down there, and I'm sure that's not the sort of key I'm looking for, anyway now please go away. And here I was glad some of the usual faces weren't around, but this new crowd makes up for-
I think you dropped something! I mean, I think something dropped off-
...Not that you'd need that sort of appendage in a dream class, of all places. D-Don't run off! I didn't mean it as an insult,and not a word about penis envy, now! Maybe we can reattach it, or something, and it will be as good as new. As long as your bead balls haven't taken any damage, you should be fine! See? Mine are still-

I think I lost my balls...

Character: Fujishima Kureha
Series: After School Nightmare
Character Age: 15-16
Canon: After School Nightmare is the manly tale of a dependable prince who does his best to save a broken princess from herself-- No, wait. Let's start again, shall we? This story is the feminine tale of a troubled princess who gets molested by a broken prince-- No. The truth is? Mashiro Ichijo is neither, he is just a teenager who is not fully male or female, but has been living all his life as a man until he is forced to take a special after-school class. That class consists of having shared nightmares between classmates. In them, they all take on their hearts' true forms, no matter how horrible they may be. Those bizarre forms can include a giraffe or a cell-phone! The only mission is killing your classmate's hearts, obtain the key hidden inside them and, if you're lucky, you will then graduate~ . ♥
In the middle of this creepy tale we have Fujishima Kureha, Ichijo's girlfriend; who seems to be a sweet and caring girl with no apparent problems at all. Yet the real form she takes at the after-school class is that of a scary long-haired girl wearing a rain jacket with the urge to kill all men she can find with… back-raping umbrellas. Because, you see, Kureha fears and hates men. Kureha is less shy and more out-going around fellow girls, but she tends to stutter a lot. So while she falls sometimes into the jealous and easily-angered type, she tries her best. As naive, extremely cute and girly a female romantic interest she might seem, she is capable of umbrella-raping you in dreams if you are not careful enough.
Sample Post:
Good afternoon, camp~! ♥ Uh. My name is… Fujishima Kureha, but please, just call me Kureha. It's good to meet you all~!
I gotta say it was kinda weird at first, taking a school trip during this time of the year, but I thought it might be fun! I mean… it was supposed to be a romantic school trip to America, after all. A great opportunity to be intimate with your Significant Other and get professional romantic advice if needed on the way, or s-something similar, like that strange perfumed pink tabloid said. Huh. A-anyway, that's beside the point… someone called the Director told me I should give the female campers a talk about relationships, she even gave me a few guidelines in another pretty paper. I don't know why she didn't let me read it beforehand, though. B-but I guess I got here in the middle of a party and it's clearly bad timing, I'm so s-sorry! I p-promise it won't take much time. Really! Then everyone can continue with the... moans of excitement~!
Okay! Um, listen. There is a bunch of things a girl should know and be warned of when they're dating. Very important things~. ♥ Are you ready? Please pay attention, because I think girls should stick together and go fight to win! Oh, this paper smells nice~. It says I should think up of a serious poll for you after I'm done with "Put it in", "Needs moar mistletoe", "Everyone is gay here anyway" and at least two ticky boxes at the end as the options. But I don't know why that's important, so I'll just go with my own points, okay? And it's n-not like everyone is gay here! Let's begin, then~.
1) Always invite your Significant Other during lunch breaks; you don't know when he might be consorting with undesirable company. Using that time to rest under a tree is a good idea!
2) Consider having a box of tampons or maxi pads ready at any time~. And painkillers, those are important too! Sometimes your Significant Other might forget to bring their own if they suddenly genderswitch, because he's not used to girly things and the period cramps are bad enough as they are. We are all girls, so you must understand. Protecting him from that pain is important. ♥
3) Be always careful. You never know when your Significant Other might be targeted by another boy! This is dangerous. Also, the Director pointed out to me that it's hard for all the girls in camp to find any good Significant Others. While that's probably because boys are always awful and mean, I should still talk about it. So girls, um, please try to always be careful. If there is a boy targeting your Significant Other and he doesn't want to give up, m-maybe slapping him will help!
4) Finally. Bake him a cake! Boys usually like home-made food. It doesn't matter if you only saw the dough rise!
If you follow this helpful advice you will… Uh. W-why is it that you don't have an arm? And why is all you say 'brain' over and over again? G-girls, this isn't funny anymore; take off the costumes! Because this is a costume party… right?
Oh, dear…

Name: Okazaki Tomoya
Canon: Clannad
Age: 17
Canon: Clannad is the unbearably adorable but ultimately and inevitably depressing story of a boy and his interactions with various girls. The story's main good point is its highly varied and interesting characters, where even the relatively minor characters have fully fleshed out and well-developed personalities. It's also heavily implied that there's something deeper involved in this seemingly light-hearted story.
Okazaki Tomoya is the main character of this ungodly adorable sobfest. He introduces himself as a delinquent, and seems to fully fit the description: He's often late for class, isn't unknown for skipping classes entirely, and is unafraid to stay out late at night; a self-described lazy bum with no redeeming qualities. It's implied to be at least somewhat fond of anime and video games, he sometimes imagines the various situations he's in and puts them in the perspective of such.His dry wit and humour is rarely appreciated by those around him, he's hardly very flattering to others, and frequently pulls light pranks on his friends regardless of the consequences. However, despite being a foul-mouthed brat, he does have a softer, sensitive side to him. He can't help but help those who need it assistance, and when he puts his mind to something, won't give up on it until the end. Even though he has his own problems, he'd do anything to help out a friend in need. And occasionally shove straws up their noses when they're zoning out.

A vast unknown swampland that had suddenly enveloped the planet, a world that no longer resembles the world we knew. Strange new creatures and plantlife roam this mysterious land, vaguely resembling those of old. Throughout the rampant chaos, one lone hero travels desparately to find the answers. Why had this happened, why were we here, questions that may very well have had no answers. Is it reality? Is it a dream? He searched for the answers, hoping to find them before he became enveloped in the darkness of madness...
No, see, that's wrong. Usually my daydreams are supposed to stay inside my head and not be real. Also, I object to this being the fruits of my imagination if only because I know I have better taste than this. The zombies in particular are way too cliche. I like the gorillas though. It's original.
. . . No wait, gorillas aside, I really, really, really don't want to be in a zombie-filled fantasy swamp camp. In the first place, none of this can be real and the logical conclusion would be that I'm dreaming. Of course! So! If I pinch myself, I'll wake up. THEN...!!!
...It hurts. No wait once more. ......It hurts. THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM. .........It hurts. Damn. ---No, wait, if I remember right, I hear peoples' brains can emulate pain even when dreaming. Mm, in that case I wholeheartedly choose to believe this theory and I shun your need for evidence. This dream really is bizarre though. In retrospect, they did say that playing all those video games would rot a person's brain. Still, if I'm gonna be sent to a video game world, they could have at least sent me to a good game. Glowing green liquids streaming from the planet has already been done.
OKAY YOU, RANDOM NPC NUMBER ONE. Tell me what the situation is so I can solve it and wake up, which I realize is nothing but baseless conjecture but I don't care so shut up and tell me already. Uh-huh. Yeah. I see, so "brainnnsss" is it? ALRIGHT AWESOME!! --Except that totally doesn't help my situation at all. Alas, you've failed me random NPC number one. The pain in my heart received from this horrible shock shall never go away.

And of course I can emit matter as well; I’ve even been getting quite a bit better at it lately. Though I’m not sure exactly what “hot dogs” or “freedom fries” are, I’m sure I could give it a try for everyone since they’re supposed to be so crucial during the event. As long as they’re not too large, I mean, because I’m sure you all wouldn’t want me to hurt my gnaester.
Y-yes, I admit that this part of my structure may seem interesting to you, but there’s really not much for you or your other violet associates to learn! Its function is exit only, and I absorb through another method entirely! No amount of force is going to change that! Please calm yourselves, friends, and keep away from my gnaester! I emit from there!

Character: Skuld
Series: Ah, My Goddess. (Website: http://www.advfilms.com/titles/ah%20my%20goddess/index.html)
Character Age: Her appearance is around 14 to 17 years old. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skuld_%28Oh_My_Goddess%21%29) (If wiki is not an acceptable source, the fact both Urd and Belldandy here and this clearly states Belldandy is older than Skuld, she should fit the age requirements. http://www.advfilms.com/titles/ah%20my%20goddess/profiles.html)
Canon: Skuld is a Goddess, Second Class, First Catergory, Limited License. She is one of Yggdrasil's debuggers so that the System doesn't cause any ill effects towards the Earth. She has two older sisters, her half sister Urd who she has a more of a typical sibling rivalry relationship with and then there is the sister in the middle of their ages, Belldandy. Though Skuld does love Urd, she absolutely adores Belldandy. Belldandy is the type of Goddess she wants to become and she is always seeking Belldandy's praise and attention. So much so that when Belldandy granted a wish of Keiichi Morisato to be his girlfriend, she became quite jealous. For a while, she dealt with that jealousy. Then Urd left. Finally, Skuld's jealousy and, admittedly, her loneliness in Heaven combined inside her for her to descend from Heaven and try and get her sisters, especially Belldandy, to come back to Heaven with her. At first she had plotted to use bugs she put in the System and saying that Belldandy's absence was the cause to get her back, but when the situation went out of control, she was found out and had to scrap the plan. So instead, she decided to stay on Earth with the excuse of training her unrefined Goddess powers as well as keep an eye on Keiichi to make sure he doesn't do anything indecent to Belldandy. Since then, Skuld has made friends with some of the people Keiichi knows as well as his sister and a boy named Sentaro. Skuld prefers to work alone, believing herself the best with machines around. Which, she kind of is. Not many people can build sentient robots, a scythe to cut tenth dimensional chains, and other such things from something like a toaster or other common appliances. However, she has learned that it wouldn't be so bad to let others help her build the machine and get the parts. Skuld loves sweets, especially ice cream, and she loves to build. She is also a brat and will often act quite childish and is willing to manipulate a situation to her advantage. Though, in the end, she is a sweet girl and would never do any real harm. She makes sure all her weapons are non-lethal because she knows how trigger happy she can be. Recently, after dealing with a demon that eats Angels, Skuld has hatched her angel egg, and this time properly, and gained her angel, Noble Scarlet.

Why am I always being left behind?!
This is the second time both Oneechan and Urd left me behind! I mean, I can understand Urd, she does whatever she wants anyway. But Oneechan?! She was supposed to come back! But no! Instead I was left with Keiichi! I mean, sure, he's not as bad as he used to be, but what point do I have being there is Oneechan isn't there?!
Even SIGEL was starting to wonder where they were. And Sigel doesn't usually show much care for others anyway. Not to mention Velsper. She's been freaking out, asking me constantly when Oneechan was coming back. Even when walking around town. I'm pretty sure people thought I was insane at yelling at a little black cat. But it was so annoying that she kept asking! I wanted to know the same thing! If I knew, I would have told her!
And this barrier thing? Didn't make it any easier! I had to go to Heaven and ask Peorth to tell me where she was. Of course, that took forever because of something about the undead she was working on.
But, I digress, once I did know where Oneechan was, it was pretty easy to get here. Not even that barrier stopped me from getting in through the water routes. Good thing too. I wasn't going to let something like that stop me.
Now, I just need to find Oneechan! Oh, and I should find Urd too. I do admit, I am just a little bit worried about her too.

Character name: Mashiro Ichijo
Series: After School Nightmare
Age: 16
Canon: In a school where graduation happens only when the right time comes, a special after school class takes place in the basement infirmary. Select students participate in sharing a dream, as they step into an nightmarish world where everyone takes on their true forms. Everyone is anonymous in this dream setting, taking on their true appearance which is that of their innermost self. Each student has a task to complete through getting the key that will allow them to graduate. By taking on this task, the students have to face their own demons and insecurities. They only wake up or fail when the beads they wear--a symbol of their hearts--take enough damage so as to break.
Like other selected students, Mashiro Ichijo is struggling to keep a secret. Mashiro is the ideal gentleman; kind-hearted, popular, and princely. He would be the perfect man, except for the fact that he was born with no distinctive gender. Mashiro is neither male nor female, and is the only student to appear in the dreams in his everyday day form (if in a schoolgirl uniform). Ichijo is conflicted and confused about his body to the point of self-loathing. Anyone would, really, going through life with girlbits down there, and nothing up there. He justifies his self worth through finding a sense of purpose and through taking care of people. Self destructively stubborn, Mashiro tends to fixate on needing to become a man with a steady heart. He is fiercely protective of his loved ones, but his misplaced good intentions are hurdled by his naivete and inexperience.

This must be the longest I've been in a dream yet, not that it's easy to measure the passage of time when you've been in a cave, of all places I wonder whose dream that was, anyway. The cave setting was a new one, and I didn't recognize any of the regular dreamers around there. Most of them had the most interesting forms. I thought I've seen how perfectly normal people can incarnate in distorted forms in our dreams, but these appearances keep surprising me. although I wish the roller blading spider would stop skating over me every time I turned my back at it. It's not like he can get the key out of me if I'm pancaked.
It's a wonder I managed to survive with my bead intact for this long. I only had to go through three trap doors, one surprise boulder, and a loose tile powering shooting flames. The chests in the cave's random chambers were a nice touch, although I'm not sure what to do with the baseball bat I was equipped with, or why the chests were all labeled "Objects of Phallic Importance".. This subconscious should lose points for inconsistency, if anything. I know that the weapons we get to use and our forms depend entirely on our state of mind, but I don't remember my mind making this disgraceful uniform skirt even shorter! And since when has it been a sailor school uniform, of all things? I don't care if my own subconscious likes boys in uniforms school uniforms.
I thought things would get better once I found my way out of the caves and into the... Swamp area, apparently. I'm not sure why the few dreamers around this area are taking on near identical rotting forms. One zombie, I can get that. Two zombies is pushing it. Three- no, please keep that trench coat on! Nothing you'd want me to see, now. You shouldn't be flashing people, distorted inner nature or not! There could be ladies around, not that I'm one or anything, of course. Actually, I don't care what you're keeping down there, and I'm sure that's not the sort of key I'm looking for, anyway now please go away. And here I was glad some of the usual faces weren't around, but this new crowd makes up for-
I think you dropped something! I mean, I think something dropped off-
...Not that you'd need that sort of appendage in a dream class, of all places. D-Don't run off! I didn't mean it as an insult,and not a word about penis envy, now! Maybe we can reattach it, or something, and it will be as good as new. As long as your bead balls haven't taken any damage, you should be fine! See? Mine are still-

I think I lost my balls...

Character: Fujishima Kureha
Series: After School Nightmare
Character Age: 15-16
Canon: After School Nightmare is the manly tale of a dependable prince who does his best to save a broken princess from herself-- No, wait. Let's start again, shall we? This story is the feminine tale of a troubled princess who gets molested by a broken prince-- No. The truth is? Mashiro Ichijo is neither, he is just a teenager who is not fully male or female, but has been living all his life as a man until he is forced to take a special after-school class. That class consists of having shared nightmares between classmates. In them, they all take on their hearts' true forms, no matter how horrible they may be. Those bizarre forms can include a giraffe or a cell-phone! The only mission is killing your classmate's hearts, obtain the key hidden inside them and, if you're lucky, you will then graduate~ . ♥
In the middle of this creepy tale we have Fujishima Kureha, Ichijo's girlfriend; who seems to be a sweet and caring girl with no apparent problems at all. Yet the real form she takes at the after-school class is that of a scary long-haired girl wearing a rain jacket with the urge to kill all men she can find with… back-raping umbrellas. Because, you see, Kureha fears and hates men. Kureha is less shy and more out-going around fellow girls, but she tends to stutter a lot. So while she falls sometimes into the jealous and easily-angered type, she tries her best. As naive, extremely cute and girly a female romantic interest she might seem, she is capable of umbrella-raping you in dreams if you are not careful enough.

Good afternoon, camp~! ♥ Uh. My name is… Fujishima Kureha, but please, just call me Kureha. It's good to meet you all~!
I gotta say it was kinda weird at first, taking a school trip during this time of the year, but I thought it might be fun! I mean… it was supposed to be a romantic school trip to America, after all. A great opportunity to be intimate with your Significant Other and get professional romantic advice if needed on the way, or s-something similar, like that strange perfumed pink tabloid said. Huh. A-anyway, that's beside the point… someone called the Director told me I should give the female campers a talk about relationships, she even gave me a few guidelines in another pretty paper. I don't know why she didn't let me read it beforehand, though. B-but I guess I got here in the middle of a party and it's clearly bad timing, I'm so s-sorry! I p-promise it won't take much time. Really! Then everyone can continue with the... moans of excitement~!
Okay! Um, listen. There is a bunch of things a girl should know and be warned of when they're dating. Very important things~. ♥ Are you ready? Please pay attention, because I think girls should stick together and go fight to win! Oh, this paper smells nice~. It says I should think up of a serious poll for you after I'm done with "Put it in", "Needs moar mistletoe", "Everyone is gay here anyway" and at least two ticky boxes at the end as the options. But I don't know why that's important, so I'll just go with my own points, okay? And it's n-not like everyone is gay here! Let's begin, then~.
1) Always invite your Significant Other during lunch breaks; you don't know when he might be consorting with undesirable company. Using that time to rest under a tree is a good idea!
2) Consider having a box of tampons or maxi pads ready at any time~. And painkillers, those are important too! Sometimes your Significant Other might forget to bring their own if they suddenly genderswitch, because he's not used to girly things and the period cramps are bad enough as they are. We are all girls, so you must understand. Protecting him from that pain is important. ♥
3) Be always careful. You never know when your Significant Other might be targeted by another boy! This is dangerous. Also, the Director pointed out to me that it's hard for all the girls in camp to find any good Significant Others. While that's probably because boys are always awful and mean, I should still talk about it. So girls, um, please try to always be careful. If there is a boy targeting your Significant Other and he doesn't want to give up, m-maybe slapping him will help!
4) Finally. Bake him a cake! Boys usually like home-made food. It doesn't matter if you only saw the dough rise!
If you follow this helpful advice you will… Uh. W-why is it that you don't have an arm? And why is all you say 'brain' over and over again? G-girls, this isn't funny anymore; take off the costumes! Because this is a costume party… right?
Oh, dear…

Name: Okazaki Tomoya
Canon: Clannad
Age: 17
Canon: Clannad is the unbearably adorable but ultimately and inevitably depressing story of a boy and his interactions with various girls. The story's main good point is its highly varied and interesting characters, where even the relatively minor characters have fully fleshed out and well-developed personalities. It's also heavily implied that there's something deeper involved in this seemingly light-hearted story.
Okazaki Tomoya is the main character of this ungodly adorable sobfest. He introduces himself as a delinquent, and seems to fully fit the description: He's often late for class, isn't unknown for skipping classes entirely, and is unafraid to stay out late at night; a self-described lazy bum with no redeeming qualities. It's implied to be at least somewhat fond of anime and video games, he sometimes imagines the various situations he's in and puts them in the perspective of such.His dry wit and humour is rarely appreciated by those around him, he's hardly very flattering to others, and frequently pulls light pranks on his friends regardless of the consequences. However, despite being a foul-mouthed brat, he does have a softer, sensitive side to him. He can't help but help those who need it assistance, and when he puts his mind to something, won't give up on it until the end. Even though he has his own problems, he'd do anything to help out a friend in need. And occasionally shove straws up their noses when they're zoning out.

A vast unknown swampland that had suddenly enveloped the planet, a world that no longer resembles the world we knew. Strange new creatures and plantlife roam this mysterious land, vaguely resembling those of old. Throughout the rampant chaos, one lone hero travels desparately to find the answers. Why had this happened, why were we here, questions that may very well have had no answers. Is it reality? Is it a dream? He searched for the answers, hoping to find them before he became enveloped in the darkness of madness...
No, see, that's wrong. Usually my daydreams are supposed to stay inside my head and not be real. Also, I object to this being the fruits of my imagination if only because I know I have better taste than this. The zombies in particular are way too cliche. I like the gorillas though. It's original.
. . . No wait, gorillas aside, I really, really, really don't want to be in a zombie-filled fantasy swamp camp. In the first place, none of this can be real and the logical conclusion would be that I'm dreaming. Of course! So! If I pinch myself, I'll wake up. THEN...!!!
...It hurts. No wait once more. ......It hurts. THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM. .........It hurts. Damn. ---No, wait, if I remember right, I hear peoples' brains can emulate pain even when dreaming. Mm, in that case I wholeheartedly choose to believe this theory and I shun your need for evidence. This dream really is bizarre though. In retrospect, they did say that playing all those video games would rot a person's brain. Still, if I'm gonna be sent to a video game world, they could have at least sent me to a good game. Glowing green liquids streaming from the planet has already been done.
OKAY YOU, RANDOM NPC NUMBER ONE. Tell me what the situation is so I can solve it and wake up, which I realize is nothing but baseless conjecture but I don't care so shut up and tell me already. Uh-huh. Yeah. I see, so "brainnnsss" is it? ALRIGHT AWESOME!! --Except that totally doesn't help my situation at all. Alas, you've failed me random NPC number one. The pain in my heart received from this horrible shock shall never go away.
....eh? No, no, I don't need you to make it feel better. Wa- OI. Where are you--- GWAAARRRRRRGGGHHHEFEWFjdksfjadkslfja....!!!
