Character: Junpei Iori
Series: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
Age: 17

Canon: After midnight, a secret hour called the Dark Hour occurs. Electricity goes out, machines stop working, and most of the people just turn into coffins in blissful ignorance. The amazingly unlucky people who encounter Shadows, a manifestation of humanity's negative emotions, end up practically zombified. A group of students decide to join forces and make a club called S.E.E.S., the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad. By day, it's just an ordinary school club that seems to do, well, absolutely nothing. But during the Dark Hour, they use their Personas, powerful alter egos of themselves, to fight the Shadows. Oh, and form relationships with other people in order to get laid - I mean, so that their Personas can become stronger.

Junpei's just a normal teenage dude: girl-crazy, a class clown, and a little self-conscious, but he is a kind and loyal person once you boil it all down. He seems carefree and satisfied with himself, but he is actually quite insecure and struggles with a troubling home life. He is jealous of the main character, who is also his best friend, for his leader status and his superior Persona skills. He often feels a desire to play the hero to inflate his self-esteem and to feel like he has a real purpose. He's definitely not the brains in any operation; Junpei exclusively fills the part of the brawn and his grades reflect this to a fault. When his temper flares up, his attitude will turn passive-aggressive, but he forgives easily, so his fits never last for long.

Sample Post: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Junpei's "Believe It or Don't."

There are many strange things in this world. Today, my story brings us to Camp Fuck You Die. The first strange thing about camp is that no one really knows how you get here! Well, maybe that's not the truth, but I sure have no idea how I did. I must have stumbled into a portal that led me to an alternate dimension! If you're gonna dump me at a camp, at least make it one with sun and babes in bikinis. Talk about lame.

Right, back to my story. Camp Fuck You Die: on the surface, it's your typical run-down and somewhat smelly campground. But inside lies horrors far beyond your imagination!

Exhibit 1: Murder. That's right, nothing kicks off a good horror story like a murder does! Someone was killed here, and no one knows who did it. Nothing's freakier than living in a place where there might be a murderer around! But that's not the real scary part. A friend of mine, his name is ... uh, Anonymous. Good ol' Anon once told me a story about how he actually saw the victim alive. He was totally fine, didn't even have a scratch, and he definitely didn't mention anything about being murdered. Maybe the murder was faked, or maybe he's immortal! I think he's just a really smart zombie in disguise. Zombies can be smart! But he's in denial, so he acts like a normal dude hoping that he'll be okay! But he never will, and he can't deny his hunger for brains. One day, he'll be out for us.

Exhibit 2: Speaking of zombies: you want them, this camp's got them. Zombies are a staple for every survival horror game ever, and for good reason! They're smelly, they're freaky looking, they want to eat your brains. And they'll stop at nothing; they'll break down doors, crawl through windows, keep running even if they're missing a leg! All for a snack. Zombies are always scary, I mean, it's even scary when you have a gun! Reloading a gun in real life isn't as easy as just firing off-screen!

Exhibit 3: The toucans. Anon told me that the toucans can talk into your mind. The fact that they can communicate with us at all is weird. Because, you know, they're birds. But they have psychic powers, which is even weirder! There's probably a secret underground lab where they were experimented on and given hidden powers, which they used to get back at their torturers and break out! Well, I sure wouldn't want to run into one. I already kinda got a voice in my head, so I don't need - uhhh, never mind.

Exhibit 4: Freaky water shadows. There's this lake, right, and if you wait around, you'll see something moving in the water! Yeah, you might think it's your imagination. But I think it's really a giant shark that comes up to pull in unsuspecting victims! But that's not the weirdest part about this lake. This lake is pink. Water is usually clear. Sometimes it can be greenish. And I think there was a red sea or something once. But this is pink and glowing. I think it's the result of a freaky radioactive liquid spill, and if you drink it, you could get super powers!

Me, uh, I already got super powers, so I don't really want any more. Yeah. I don't really wanna put anything from that lake in my mouth either.

Believe it... or don't.
