Character: Wolfram von Bielefeld
Series: Kyou Kara Maou (Official Japanese site, Official English site)
Canon: Wolfram is a member of mazoku (demon) royalty, and lives in a parallel dimension. He's loud, bratty, spoiled, and just a wee bit racist when it comes to humans; he's also fairly skilled with a sword and the mazoku's own brand of magic. By a bizarre turn of events he ends up being proposed to by the new Maou (ruler of the mazoku), and although angry at first he eventually begins to show feelings (in his own, violent way) for the other boy... although part of that showing involves sneaking into the boy's bed, first naked and then in a frilly pink nightgown that's truly terrifying to behold. He has a possessive streak a mile long, and he thinks everyone is after his fiance. Note: Greta is a roughly 10-year-old girl who Yuuri and thusly Wolfram have adopted as their daughter.
Dear Wimp:
I am surrounded by humans. Some of them are dead. They walk around and moan a lot and try to eat people. Is this normal in your world?
Even dead, they're still humans, which means they're stupid and cowards and wimps. None of them even look at the knives
that I drop in front of them, proving once and for all that humans have no honor.
Someone or something or whatever got themselves killed and the camp director's angry about it. I don't really remember. One of the people
here looked at me and I just knew that if you were here he'd probably be all over you -- WHICH REMINDS ME. I may be in another dimension but I'll know, Yuuri. The minute it even enters your cheating wimpy mind to do whatever it is you adulterers do I'll know. Greta is under strict orders to do you bodily harm.
The whole idea of sending me here to learn to get along with idiotic, weak humans is a stupid idea. I could do this just as easily in Shin Makoku. Where I'm allowed to have a sword.
-Wolfram
And I'd mail the stupid letter off except I can't find any messengers and I'm not going to ask any stupid humans to help me because I'm a mazoku and if I don't know how to do it then there is no way that they do.

Character: Mikage Souji
Series: Revolutionary Girl Utena (major fan page for the character is here)
Canon: A minor villain who only thinks he runs the show, Mikage
appears jaded and formal, a frosty genius with mysterious clout among
other students and the Academy administrators. But scratch the surface
of this stonefaced mastermind and you find a delusional loon obsessed
with the past. Mikage often literally sees whatever he wants to
believe, and has a habit of confusing people with one another - he
sometimes thinks Utena is a woman who slighted him years ago, even
though they only met recently. He is usually accompanied by his
sidekick/boyfriend/muse, a cryptic fourteen-year-old named Mamiya -
another person he sees wherever he wants, if I may sidestep a minor
spoiler. Mamiya tends to bring out a slightly sleazy streak in him.
Mikage's villainous M.O. is to convince people to act on their worst
impulses and manipulate others. He's a bit like a bizarro-world
guidance counselor. He and the students he convinces, called the Black
Rose Duelists, challenge Utena seven times without success. Utena is
less than enthralled with his manipulative ways; most other
characters, who don't get to know that layer of his personality, see
him as a distant genius. Like many others on the series, Mikage is
given orders by the real mastermind, who goes by the codename
"End of the World." He has a thing about photography [insert long
Utena-esque analysis of symbolism here], and fire, darkness,
and elevators are minor themes as well.
I don't see why the arrangement we've had for so long suddenly isn't
good enough for End of the World. I've always had veto power. Now,
without warning, I'm issued an assignment that I cannot turn down, and
I find myself on this train alone, with a single suitcase and no idea
why I've been sent away. This is an annoying turn of events. I can't
properly plot the downfall of Tenjou Utena and the Rose Bride from the
middle of some godforsaken American swamp.
There is nothing to do here but write to myself and practice dull
conversational English with the other passengers. The landscape isn't
worth photographing, unless I wish to torture myself with the memory
of eight hours of passing through corn fields, which I do not. I will
write a letter of complaint to End of the World in short order.
---
The camp consists of trees, animals, and idiots. And some rustling in
the bushes, which is probably necking teenagers. There are mutterings
about zombies, which is patently ridiculous. Zombies don't exist. If
they had said ghosts, or planetarium projectors capable of mind
control, then perhaps we would have a basis for rational discussion.
But zombies? Out of the question. I am underenthused about this entire
undertaking. However, I've heard something about campfires. All may
not be lost.
No one caused a fuss about Mamiya staying with me, fortunately. I
offered to fill out any necessary paperwork to get him the bunk next
to me, but they merely gave me a very strange look and went about
filling out my forms. They seemed pleased that I have no next of kin.
I wonder why that is.
Too starving to write my letter of complaint. I will brave the mess
hall and then attempt to sleep.
---
No dinner. I don't think that was food. No sleep. Too much screaming.
Not the good kind. Some of the campers here seem to be lunatics, and
there is even more prattle about zombies - they are clearly out of
touch with reality.
And yet, this day has been momentous. It's all clear to me now. Why
I'm here, why the order was too important to disclose ahead of time.
Tenjou is here. That overbearing, loudmouthed, underhanded creature
with utterly enviable hair and that habit of dressing in men's clothes
that simply don't look right on Mamiya, not that I ever tried that.
I must have been sent to kill her. The path before me has been prepared.

Character: Kyo Sohma
Series: Fruits Basket
Canon: Kyo is a 16 year old with a big secret: he turns into cat when hugged by a girl. this is due to a family cursed, of unknown origins. Kyo likes Martial Arts, fish and Tohru He hates Leeks, Yuki Sohma, the zodiac rat and Kagura Sohma. He is hot tempered, which is extremely obvious around Yuki Sohma. Just like the whole cat/mouse thing, Yuki and Kyo are always fighting. They are great rivals.
Kyo's greatest wish is to one day defeat "That damn rat!!". The real reason behind Kyo's rivalry with Yuki, is that he wishes to be part of the zodiac, and thus, accepted by the family. Rejection is something Kyo has had to deal with since he was young, due to his "secret"...
YES!! I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE CAMP!
....I think getting off the bus into the swamp was suicide not very smart. It was a good idea at the time....with all those girls around...giggling....*shudder*
the shiny guy speaking in the third person and the zombie driver didnt help either..
I should have known this camp was odd when the bus driver said “Braaaaaains” instead of “hello” *facepalm*
And now im covered in zombie slime.....uggh!!
I CANNOT BELEIVE I ACTUALY LISTENED TO THAT IDIOT SHIGURE!!
He was all like "You should go to camp Kyo. It could be fun Kyo. Tohru is going Kyo.”
and then Tohru was like “Oh yes that could be fun” BASTARDS!!
I BET THAT GAY RAT IS LAUGHING AT ME RIGHT NOW!!
AAAAH HELL NO!! IS THAT A GORILLA!?! WHY THE HELL IS IT PURPLE!?
Tohru are you sure this is what summer camp is supposed to be like? The cabins look like they should be demolished (or as if they are gonna eat you...I know that door was salivating...)
AND WHATS ALL THIS ABOUT A MURDER?? SOMEONE WAS KILLED HERE? Big surprise
....well....at least I can train here. The zombies and gorillas are good pratice. Sensei will be proud of me. When I get back i’m gonna challenge that damn rat and not get mauled MURDER HIM!!

Character: Momoko Hanasaki/Wedding Peach
Series: Ai Tenshi Densetsu Wedding Peach (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1066)
Canon: Momoko is an enthusiastic, optimistic first year junior high student. She is usually caring and giving and will try to cheer those around her up if they're unhappy (even if she happens to not like them very much) - she does, however, have a bit of a bad temper when provoked. She can also be a bit naive, almost to the point of slowness at times. This isn't to say she can't be clever, but she usually isn't. Her hobbies and interests include food, photography (her father's a professional photographer), participating in the school's newspaper club with her friends Yuri and Hinagiku, and chasing the captain of the soccer team, Yanagiba, on whom she has a huge crush (while simultaneously denying she has one on the team's back-up goalie, Yousuke). Her weaknesses are people crying around her (they can usually get her to do anything they ask) and blood. Momoko lives alone with her father; her mother supposedly died when she was three.
Oh, and as it turns out, Momoko and her two friends just happen to be Love Angels, agents of the goddess Aphrodite, charged with protecting Earth from a demon invasion. While wearing wedding dresses, or alternatively, very short skirts. Yeah. Momoko's power is to gather and focus 'love waves' to defeat her enemies.
I didn't think Papa's English was this bad. Really. Because from what Yuri told me, the words "Fuck You Die" aren't really an appropriate name for a summer camp. I mean, sure, the pictures in the brochure looked nice, but... well, I don't think they were taken any place I've seen so far.
There weren't any pictures of zombies or crocodiles or tentacle monsters in the brochure!
And here I thought I might have a few good opportunities to take some photos. I figured there might at least be some cute boys playing sports going on or something, but apparently the only sport being played around here is "Hide and Go Seek... the Undead". And while I'm sure that might make for some, ahh, interesting photos, I'd much rather stick to traditional subjects (and not have to run for my life afterwards, thanks).
What's even scarier is that these zombies don't seem to be caused by the Demon Race - so they're really, really real zombies. I can't affect them with my love waves, either (I tried already! I did! But changing into my wedding dress just gave them a bigger target! ...And I got zombie spit on my gown. Ewww). I'm also kinda nervous about using this shotgun they gave me - I really don't want to see one of those guys splatter (and I really don't want to get any of their splatter on me, either). Besides, what if there's a way to turn them back into normal human beings? I would feel so bad...
The other campers I've met so far haven't been very friendly, either. Well, I guess that's understandable, given that they're all very busy running from the zombies (and goats... and gorillas... and crocodiles...). But the one I did manage to get to stand still long enough to say hi ran away when she saw that I had pink hair. She was screaming something about someone named "Tenjou"? (I thought me and Mama were the only people with pink hair? There are more?)
I also don't think I can take a shower any time soon. This is probably the worst of all! When I went to check out the showers, I found out they were covered in blood. Ehhh, no thanks (I actually ran away screaming and crying, but that can be our little secret, okay?). And when I went near the lake, I found out that not only is it infested with crocodiles, but that it also has a tentacle monster. As much as I'd like to be chased by crocodiles take a bath in the lake, I'd also like to maintain my virtue. I am saving myself for Yous... YANAGIBA-SENPAI, after all. (I didn't just start to type what I think I did, did I? The camp is starting to get to me. Already I'm having Freudian slips starting to hallucinate)
Ehh heh heh... heh.

Robin has suggested that we all "take some time off" for
the summertime, without specifying why. Beast Boy has said
that it has something to do with Slade, though I cannot
discern his implication -- if Slade had anything to do
with this, would not Robin wish to have the rest of us
nearby as backup?

visiting my first Earth summer camp. "Camp Fuck You Die"
seems like it will be such fun! But please, what is a
"zombie"? Oh, I see... it is a human who has not
completely perished. But why do these "undead" feel the
need to devour other humans?
Although my star-bolts are more than capable of destroying
these zombies, I shall follow camp rules and master the
usage of a "shotgun". Perhaps a shotgun is the only way to
effectively aid the zombies in finishing the process of
dying?
Also, even taking into account the fact that they are not

Character: Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune
Series: Slayers
Canon: http://inverse.org/e/bkg/chars/amelia.shtml
Journal-san, you won't believe this new summer camp! Of course, you
probably can, since you're magical and glowing and all. But no matter,
this camp is the greatest place I've ever been to!
Father wanted me to go to a camp to train me to be a princess, which
would have been fine I suppose...but much to my surprise I got a
letter from my old friend Xelloss! He recommended that I attend this
camp instead, saying that I'd be able to "spread my love of justice
around" and that I might "meet an old friend." How enigmatic!
Hoping that my old friend would be Lina-san, Gourry-san or maybe even
Zelgadiss-san (Sigh. <3), I quickly signed up. My father didn't
approve of the camp's name, but when I told him there would be
opportunities to spread the good word of justice about the camp, his
eyes twinkled in the way only eyes of justice could twinkle and he
told me to go forth! Huzzah!
Great magic was required to get me to the camp. It's in an entirely
different world - one known as Louisiana. And it's not a pleasant
world, I can say that. It's marshy, dank and smells worse than the
slums of Saillune!
But I persevered in spite of my surroundings with the goal of JUSTICE in mind!
And I soon discovered exactly what Xelloss was talking about -
zombies. This camp is infested by an army of the dead, a brigade of
ghouls intent on sucking the brains out of good campers! My work here
is needed!
While I have yet to fight any of these zombies, they were surely
perish when I lay my Hammer of JUSTICE down upon them!
Oh, Journal-san, I must prepare a speech to give to the zombies before
I spread Justice and Pureness of Heart. This camp is an excellent
location to deliver my speech - plenty of high places where I can let
freedom ring.
I should practice my landings, too. I don't want to humiliate
myself like I always do hurt myself.
Goodbye!
-Amelia
Defender of Justice!
P.S. Oh, I wonder who my "old friend" is? I'm sure Xelloss only has
the worst best intentions in getting me to come here,
so it's probably a friend of mine
(OOC note - About the -san…don't think that Amelia will be talking in
fanpanese. It's just so hard to adapt the -san suffix that Amelia
always uses for almost everyone. If anyone can think of a solution, I
will adopt it. :))

Character: Hanajima Saki
Series: Fruits Basket
Canon: Hanajima is a close friend of Tohru's. She can apparently zap people with electro-poison waves, and can also sense people's "waves" (or aura). She mentions several times that the Sohma (who are under a curse which makes them turn into animals from the Chinese zodiac if they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex) have "strange waves." She is very dramatic and mystical-sounding when talking about everyday things, but can sometimes be quite matter-of-fact when talking about things that everyone else would find strange and mystical. She likes to scare people (especially if she feels that they're threatening her Tohru-kun) and often seems to appear out of nowhere. She also likes to play cards (and she always wins).
I never particularly wanted to go to summer camp, not being fond of sports and other such physical activities. However, when I heard that Tohru-kun had gone, I thought someone should go with her to defend her virtue look after her. Uo-chan was going to go, but at the last minute she couldn't make it, so I had to go instead.
As I expected, I have not been enjoying it much so far. The bus ride was quite long and boring; no one wanted to play cards with me after the first few times that I beat them. A few of them wouldn't even play with me in the first place. I can't imagine why- I didn't get royal straight flushes every game. Only once or twice.
The camp itself is rather run-down, and many of the cabins are badly in need of repair. Not only that, but it has a dark and forboding air- when I arrived the very buildings themselves seemed to be giving off sinister waves, making one wonder what lurked within. This, combined with the extremely strange waves emanating from many of my fellow campers, has been giving me a bit of a headache. Well, it's either that or the song that has been playing over the loudspeaker repeatedly since I got here. I have tried to destroy it- the loudspeaker, that is- but it seems to be indestructible. I suppose I'll have to learn to put up with it.
I think I will also have to learn to put up with being hungry, as the food here is quite... ah... well, let's just say that my mother always told me never to eat anything that gives off waves of its own. The carrots and tangerines, particularly, have psychic powers to rival those of anyone I have ever met. I am intrigued; however, it seems that for all their powers, they are not able to communicate with humans. How disappointing.
The dark lurking presence I sensed earlier turned out to be zombies, which is not what I had been expecting at all. They seem to be immune to my poison waves. I suppose I'll have to find some other way to deal with them. Perhaps the waves I'm using aren't strong enough. These zombies (much like the loudspeaker) are quite resistant to damage. So are the talking crocodiles, mutant gorillas, and other assorted creatures who roam the camp, for that matter. Whoever created them was very good at making things durable. It's a shame that he or she did not build the cabins as well. The zombies seem quite intent on breaking into them, and they are not at all discouraged by the walls.
Oh dear, here comes one through the window now. I have to go.

She's loudmouthed, egotistical, spazzy, somewhat selfish, cheerful and spontaneous. She appears first with Erk in the game, as the woman he was to escort to Ostia. (He describes talking to her as a 'neverending headache.') She leaves at the end of the prologue and continues to serve under her lord for a year, before she disobeys orders and decides to follow Hector into war.
Well, okay. I think somebody broke Lord Hector. Uh, make that... again.
He told me I was going to 'a better place.' I actually thought for a moment he'd try to whack me or something. Well, he did. and I woke up here.
I bet he was planning this with Lord Oswin all along! If only just to rid themselves of my beautiful face so that they would not have to bear the temptation any longer! It really must pain them every day, to see me and know that such a sensitive, delicate and beautiful woman could never be theirs. Isn't it just so tragic? Really, my beauty ought to be a crime.
...I still don't know where I am, though.
It's definately not Ostia. This place is sort of iffy, and smells of death. Okay, well, I'm used to that. Weird people are wandering around all over the place.
...on second thought, I'm used to that as well. But... there's something... you know... different about this place.
Other than the fact that it really smells.
It reminds me of that time, when everyone was almost dead, and I healed them all with my amazing healing powers, and they praised me and gave me lots of gold, good food and a vassal that waited on me hand and foot. And all the men in the army proposed their everlasting gratitude and adoration to me, but alas, I had to refuse them all, as none could ever meet up to my standards, nor look good enough to be beside me.
Yes, well. That never happened, but it ought to have. Hmmmph.
And, no. I still don't know where I am, but I'm sure I will soon enough. Saint Elimine will surely guide me, as I am her best , most talented, most beautiful and brilliant cleric ever.

without warning, I'm issued an assignment that I cannot turn down, and
I find myself on this train alone, with a single suitcase and no idea
why I've been sent away. This is an annoying turn of events. I can't
properly plot the downfall of Tenjou Utena and the Rose Bride from the
middle of some godforsaken American swamp.
There is nothing to do here but write to myself and practice dull
conversational English with the other passengers. The landscape isn't
worth photographing, unless I wish to torture myself with the memory
of eight hours of passing through corn fields, which I do not. I will
write a letter of complaint to End of the World in short order.
---
The camp consists of trees, animals, and idiots. And some rustling in
the bushes, which is probably necking teenagers. There are mutterings
about zombies, which is patently ridiculous. Zombies don't exist. If
they had said ghosts, or planetarium projectors capable of mind
control, then perhaps we would have a basis for rational discussion.
But zombies? Out of the question. I am underenthused about this entire
undertaking. However, I've heard something about campfires. All may
not be lost.
No one caused a fuss about Mamiya staying with me, fortunately. I
offered to fill out any necessary paperwork to get him the bunk next
to me, but they merely gave me a very strange look and went about
filling out my forms. They seemed pleased that I have no next of kin.
I wonder why that is.
Too starving to write my letter of complaint. I will brave the mess
hall and then attempt to sleep.
---
No dinner. I don't think that was food. No sleep. Too much screaming.
Not the good kind. Some of the campers here seem to be lunatics, and
there is even more prattle about zombies - they are clearly out of
touch with reality.
And yet, this day has been momentous. It's all clear to me now. Why
I'm here, why the order was too important to disclose ahead of time.
Tenjou is here. That overbearing, loudmouthed, underhanded creature
with utterly enviable hair and that habit of dressing in men's clothes
that simply don't look right on Mamiya, not that I ever tried that.
I must have been sent to kill her. The path before me has been prepared.

Character: Kyo Sohma
Series: Fruits Basket
Canon: Kyo is a 16 year old with a big secret: he turns into cat when hugged by a girl. this is due to a family cursed, of unknown origins. Kyo likes Martial Arts, fish and Tohru He hates Leeks, Yuki Sohma, the zodiac rat and Kagura Sohma. He is hot tempered, which is extremely obvious around Yuki Sohma. Just like the whole cat/mouse thing, Yuki and Kyo are always fighting. They are great rivals.
Kyo's greatest wish is to one day defeat "That damn rat!!". The real reason behind Kyo's rivalry with Yuki, is that he wishes to be part of the zodiac, and thus, accepted by the family. Rejection is something Kyo has had to deal with since he was young, due to his "secret"...
YES!! I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE CAMP!
....I think getting off the bus into the swamp was suicide not very smart. It was a good idea at the time....with all those girls around...giggling....*shudder*
the shiny guy speaking in the third person and the zombie driver didnt help either..
I should have known this camp was odd when the bus driver said “Braaaaaains” instead of “hello” *facepalm*
And now im covered in zombie slime.....uggh!!
I CANNOT BELEIVE I ACTUALY LISTENED TO THAT IDIOT SHIGURE!!
He was all like "You should go to camp Kyo. It could be fun Kyo. Tohru is going Kyo.”

I BET THAT GAY RAT IS LAUGHING AT ME RIGHT NOW!!
AAAAH HELL NO!! IS THAT A GORILLA!?! WHY THE HELL IS IT PURPLE!?
Tohru are you sure this is what summer camp is supposed to be like? The cabins look like they should be demolished (or as if they are gonna eat you...I know that door was salivating...)

Character: Momoko Hanasaki/Wedding Peach
Series: Ai Tenshi Densetsu Wedding Peach (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1066)
Canon: Momoko is an enthusiastic, optimistic first year junior high student. She is usually caring and giving and will try to cheer those around her up if they're unhappy (even if she happens to not like them very much) - she does, however, have a bit of a bad temper when provoked. She can also be a bit naive, almost to the point of slowness at times. This isn't to say she can't be clever, but she usually isn't. Her hobbies and interests include food, photography (her father's a professional photographer), participating in the school's newspaper club with her friends Yuri and Hinagiku, and chasing the captain of the soccer team, Yanagiba, on whom she has a huge crush (while simultaneously denying she has one on the team's back-up goalie, Yousuke). Her weaknesses are people crying around her (they can usually get her to do anything they ask) and blood. Momoko lives alone with her father; her mother supposedly died when she was three.
Oh, and as it turns out, Momoko and her two friends just happen to be Love Angels, agents of the goddess Aphrodite, charged with protecting Earth from a demon invasion. While wearing wedding dresses, or alternatively, very short skirts. Yeah. Momoko's power is to gather and focus 'love waves' to defeat her enemies.
I didn't think Papa's English was this bad. Really. Because from what Yuri told me, the words "Fuck You Die" aren't really an appropriate name for a summer camp. I mean, sure, the pictures in the brochure looked nice, but... well, I don't think they were taken any place I've seen so far.
There weren't any pictures of zombies or crocodiles or tentacle monsters in the brochure!
And here I thought I might have a few good opportunities to take some photos. I figured there might at least be some cute boys playing sports going on or something, but apparently the only sport being played around here is "Hide and Go Seek... the Undead". And while I'm sure that might make for some, ahh, interesting photos, I'd much rather stick to traditional subjects (and not have to run for my life afterwards, thanks).
What's even scarier is that these zombies don't seem to be caused by the Demon Race - so they're really, really real zombies. I can't affect them with my love waves, either (I tried already! I did! But changing into my wedding dress just gave them a bigger target! ...And I got zombie spit on my gown. Ewww). I'm also kinda nervous about using this shotgun they gave me - I really don't want to see one of those guys splatter (and I really don't want to get any of their splatter on me, either). Besides, what if there's a way to turn them back into normal human beings? I would feel so bad...
The other campers I've met so far haven't been very friendly, either. Well, I guess that's understandable, given that they're all very busy running from the zombies (and goats... and gorillas... and crocodiles...). But the one I did manage to get to stand still long enough to say hi ran away when she saw that I had pink hair. She was screaming something about someone named "Tenjou"? (I thought me and Mama were the only people with pink hair? There are more?)
I also don't think I can take a shower any time soon. This is probably the worst of all! When I went to check out the showers, I found out they were covered in blood. Ehhh, no thanks (I actually ran away screaming and crying, but that can be our little secret, okay?). And when I went near the lake, I found out that not only is it infested with crocodiles, but that it also has a tentacle monster. As much as I'd like to be chased by crocodiles take a bath in the lake, I'd also like to maintain my virtue. I am saving myself for Yous... YANAGIBA-SENPAI, after all. (I didn't just start to type what I think I did, did I? The camp is starting to get to me. Already I'm having Freudian slips starting to hallucinate)
Ehh heh heh... heh.

Character: Starfire
Series: Teen Titans (cartoon version)
Robin has suggested that we all "take some time off" for
the summertime, without specifying why. Beast Boy has said
that it has something to do with Slade, though I cannot
discern his implication -- if Slade had anything to do
with this, would not Robin wish to have the rest of us
nearby as backup?
However, I have followed Robin's suggestion and am now
visiting my first Earth summer camp. "Camp Fuck You Die"
seems like it will be such fun! But please, what is a
"zombie"? Oh, I see... it is a human who has not
completely perished. But why do these "undead" feel the
need to devour other humans?
Although my star-bolts are more than capable of destroying
these zombies, I shall follow camp rules and master the
usage of a "shotgun". Perhaps a shotgun is the only way to
effectively aid the zombies in finishing the process of
dying?
Also, even taking into account the fact that they are not
green, the gorillas bear little resemblance to Beast Boy
when he has transformed...

Character: Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune
Series: Slayers
Canon: http://inverse.org/e/bkg/chars/amelia.shtml
Journal-san, you won't believe this new summer camp! Of course, you
probably can, since you're magical and glowing and all. But no matter,
this camp is the greatest place I've ever been to!
Father wanted me to go to a camp to train me to be a princess, which
would have been fine I suppose...but much to my surprise I got a
letter from my old friend Xelloss! He recommended that I attend this
camp instead, saying that I'd be able to "spread my love of justice
around" and that I might "meet an old friend." How enigmatic!
Hoping that my old friend would be Lina-san, Gourry-san or maybe even
Zelgadiss-san (Sigh. <3), I quickly signed up. My father didn't
approve of the camp's name, but when I told him there would be
opportunities to spread the good word of justice about the camp, his
eyes twinkled in the way only eyes of justice could twinkle and he
told me to go forth! Huzzah!
Great magic was required to get me to the camp. It's in an entirely
different world - one known as Louisiana. And it's not a pleasant
world, I can say that. It's marshy, dank and smells worse than the
slums of Saillune!
But I persevered in spite of my surroundings with the goal of JUSTICE in mind!
And I soon discovered exactly what Xelloss was talking about -
zombies. This camp is infested by an army of the dead, a brigade of
ghouls intent on sucking the brains out of good campers! My work here
is needed!
While I have yet to fight any of these zombies, they were surely
perish when I lay my Hammer of JUSTICE down upon them!
Oh, Journal-san, I must prepare a speech to give to the zombies before
I spread Justice and Pureness of Heart. This camp is an excellent
location to deliver my speech - plenty of high places where I can let
freedom ring.
I should practice my landings, too. I don't want to humiliate
myself like I always do hurt myself.
Goodbye!
-Amelia
Defender of Justice!
P.S. Oh, I wonder who my "old friend" is? I'm sure Xelloss only has
the worst best intentions in getting me to come here,
so it's probably a friend of mine
(OOC note - About the -san…don't think that Amelia will be talking in
fanpanese. It's just so hard to adapt the -san suffix that Amelia
always uses for almost everyone. If anyone can think of a solution, I
will adopt it. :))

Character: Hanajima Saki
Series: Fruits Basket
Canon: Hanajima is a close friend of Tohru's. She can apparently zap people with electro-poison waves, and can also sense people's "waves" (or aura). She mentions several times that the Sohma (who are under a curse which makes them turn into animals from the Chinese zodiac if they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex) have "strange waves." She is very dramatic and mystical-sounding when talking about everyday things, but can sometimes be quite matter-of-fact when talking about things that everyone else would find strange and mystical. She likes to scare people (especially if she feels that they're threatening her Tohru-kun) and often seems to appear out of nowhere. She also likes to play cards (and she always wins).
I never particularly wanted to go to summer camp, not being fond of sports and other such physical activities. However, when I heard that Tohru-kun had gone, I thought someone should go with her to defend her virtue look after her. Uo-chan was going to go, but at the last minute she couldn't make it, so I had to go instead.
As I expected, I have not been enjoying it much so far. The bus ride was quite long and boring; no one wanted to play cards with me after the first few times that I beat them. A few of them wouldn't even play with me in the first place. I can't imagine why- I didn't get royal straight flushes every game. Only once or twice.
The camp itself is rather run-down, and many of the cabins are badly in need of repair. Not only that, but it has a dark and forboding air- when I arrived the very buildings themselves seemed to be giving off sinister waves, making one wonder what lurked within. This, combined with the extremely strange waves emanating from many of my fellow campers, has been giving me a bit of a headache. Well, it's either that or the song that has been playing over the loudspeaker repeatedly since I got here. I have tried to destroy it- the loudspeaker, that is- but it seems to be indestructible. I suppose I'll have to learn to put up with it.
I think I will also have to learn to put up with being hungry, as the food here is quite... ah... well, let's just say that my mother always told me never to eat anything that gives off waves of its own. The carrots and tangerines, particularly, have psychic powers to rival those of anyone I have ever met. I am intrigued; however, it seems that for all their powers, they are not able to communicate with humans. How disappointing.
The dark lurking presence I sensed earlier turned out to be zombies, which is not what I had been expecting at all. They seem to be immune to my poison waves. I suppose I'll have to find some other way to deal with them. Perhaps the waves I'm using aren't strong enough. These zombies (much like the loudspeaker) are quite resistant to damage. So are the talking crocodiles, mutant gorillas, and other assorted creatures who roam the camp, for that matter. Whoever created them was very good at making things durable. It's a shame that he or she did not build the cabins as well. The zombies seem quite intent on breaking into them, and they are not at all discouraged by the walls.
Oh dear, here comes one through the window now. I have to go.

Character: Serra
Series: Fire Emblem
Canon: Serra is a cleric serving Lord Hector of House Ostia. She grew up in an orphanage, but believes she is actually the daughter of Etrurian nobles, who anyday will come back to get her.
She's loudmouthed, egotistical, spazzy, somewhat selfish, cheerful and spontaneous. She appears first with Erk in the game, as the woman he was to escort to Ostia. (He describes talking to her as a 'neverending headache.') She leaves at the end of the prologue and continues to serve under her lord for a year, before she disobeys orders and decides to follow Hector into war.
Well, okay. I think somebody broke Lord Hector. Uh, make that... again.
He told me I was going to 'a better place.' I actually thought for a moment he'd try to whack me or something. Well, he did. and I woke up here.
I bet he was planning this with Lord Oswin all along! If only just to rid themselves of my beautiful face so that they would not have to bear the temptation any longer! It really must pain them every day, to see me and know that such a sensitive, delicate and beautiful woman could never be theirs. Isn't it just so tragic? Really, my beauty ought to be a crime.
...I still don't know where I am, though.
It's definately not Ostia. This place is sort of iffy, and smells of death. Okay, well, I'm used to that. Weird people are wandering around all over the place.
...on second thought, I'm used to that as well. But... there's something... you know... different about this place.
Other than the fact that it really smells.
It reminds me of that time, when everyone was almost dead, and I healed them all with my amazing healing powers, and they praised me and gave me lots of gold, good food and a vassal that waited on me hand and foot. And all the men in the army proposed their everlasting gratitude and adoration to me, but alas, I had to refuse them all, as none could ever meet up to my standards, nor look good enough to be beside me.
Yes, well. That never happened, but it ought to have. Hmmmph.
And, no. I still don't know where I am, but I'm sure I will soon enough. Saint Elimine will surely guide me, as I am her best , most talented, most beautiful and brilliant cleric ever.
- Lady Serra of Ostia.
P.S: EEEK! SOMETHING IS TRYING TO GNAW AT MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR! GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF. OKAY, IT APPEARS TO BE MOMENTARILY STUNNED BY MY BEAUTY. I MUST TAKE THIS CHANCE AND DEFEAT IT AT ONCE!
