Name: Mercedes Jones
Series: Glee
Age: 16
Canon: High school is rough, especially for the freaks, geeks and artistic types. And no one has it harder than the Glee Club. They get slushies to the face, thrown in dumpsters and sabotaged at every opportunity on their way to the National Show Choir competition. But the members of New Directions Glee Club can always count on their music and each other to lift their spirits. And if that doesn’t work, there’s always the ex-teacher who now makes a living dealing pot.
As the only African American member of New Directions, Mercedes brings some much needed chocolate love to the group. But it’s not just about her amazing singing voice, she has a distinctive style and commanding presence, even if she can sometimes be abrasive. She's always ready to give advice, good or otherwise, especially to help out her fellow Glee members. Mercedes isn't afraid to speak her mind, especially when it comes to things she's passionate about. After all, she wants to be a star, and that means not being satisfied with second place. Just don't tell her anything you don't want everyone to know.
Sample Entry:
This is some kind of joke, right? I'm sorry, I thought I was supposed to be meeting some of our potential competition for Nationals, not some wannabe freak show rejects. No offense or anything, but you gotta know already what you look like. You're really serious? I don't think you're really going to impress the judges with moaning and dragging your feet. But, then, if you spend as much time practicing as you do making yourselves look dead you might actually be some decent competition. Alright, fine, if you're really serious about this then show me what you got. And it better be good.
Okay, "Brain Storm", I'mma stop you right there. It was... you know, I'll be honest; I don't know what that was. You can harmonize, but your song didn't have any words to it. And your choreography was nothing like I was expecting. I’ve seen people do The Worm, but that looked more like The Maggot. I’m pretty sure you get points taken off for losing an arm in the middle of your routine. Are you sure this is what you want to do with your time? Seems like you might do better at other things, like being extras in a Rob Zombie movie. But if this is what you really want, then you gotta follow that dream. Maybe I could give you some advice, just to get you on the right track. And don't give me that look, you know you need it.
First of all, you need to clean yourselves up. A good first impression does a lot for you, and not just in Glee Club. I mean, look at me, I know I look good and so does everyone else. There have to be some mirrors around here somewhere. You could clean yourselves up and maybe get outside a little? I’ve been around a lot of white people, but you guys are so pale you're grey. You can still scare people and act like zombies without risking your health. And it wouldn’t kill you to get some better clothes, neither. It looks like you slept in those outfits… in a dumpster.
We also need to work on your moves. Michael Jackson may be the classic, but it’s been done. A lot. You guys want to stand out, show them something they’ve never seen before. You don’t have to have working legs to dance, I can tell you that for sure. You just have to find a style that doesn’t just work for you, but shows off who you really are. Maybe something slow, with shuffling. Or with more hand gestures.
... Okay, jazz hands are obviously not for people with rotting wrists.

Character: Quinn Fabray.
Series: GLEE.
Character Age: 16.
Canon: Wealthy, pretty, talented Quinn Fabray used to have the perfect life. Head cheerleader. President of the chastity club. The most popular girl in McKinley High School. Since everyone found out she was knocked up, however, her only friends are the bunch of socialmalajusts and outcasts that make up the school glee club, New Directions. GLEE is a show about teen stereotypes enriching their lives through song and dance, daring to beinspirationally different, and fighting their way towards national championships to Eye of the Tiger montages.
No matter what she's going through, Quinn doesn't take shit lying down: not from her manipulative cheerleading coach, the woman who wants to adopt her child, her teachers, friends, boyfriend, baby-daddy - not even her horrified parents when they kick her out. While she does have a gooey marshmallow center under that beautiful blonde exterior, Quinn tends to come off as condescending and shallow. Despite her fanatic Christianity, Quinn has no problem belittling and manipulating those around her to get her way - and in the end, Quinn Fabray will get her way.

Listen up, Night of the Living Dead. I'm a cheerleader, which means I can lead; it's right there in my name.

Some of you have already demonstrated that you're like, obscenely flexible - seriously, I'm pretty sure legs aren't meant to bend that way? Try and keep them attached next time, I am not going to be stuck in Louisiana for the rest of my life just because youfreakazoids couldn 't hold yourselves together.

Ew, I did not mean that literally. I don't even want to know what that fluid is, okay? But I'm pretty sure it's not calorie-free. You're going to be lifting each other full off the ground, people, so unlikeSlurpy here you need to watch what you eat. I don't know about brains, do they have a high fat content? Whatever. If I were you? Well, first I would see a doctor, and then I'd go buy an entirely new wardrobe, but most importantly I would start a full dieting regime - instead of just licking whatever you find on the ground. 'Cause, uh, how about gross!
Look, I'm not going to cut you a break just because you're the living dead. Like, that gives you no advantage here, got it? And don't think just because I'mblonde and pretty that I'm going to run and scream and twist my ankle. This baby isn 't going to burst out of me like I'm John Hurt or Bella Swan.

Character: Hanaori Kotoha
Series: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
Character Age: 16-17
Canon: In a world where every crack is a door to our world through which frightening, Sanzu River-dwelling monsters called Gedoushuu can pass and terrorize mankind, who you gonna call? The samurai authorized by providence, of course! Samurai Sentai Shinkenger tells the story of a troupe of multi-coloured fighters who are as different as their colour spectrum is varied, but must work together to uphold both the order between humans and Gedoushuu, and the samurai tradition (... sort of).
Hanaori Kotoha is just one of these six monster-battling defenders of mankind, capable of becoming ShinkenYellow. A sweet girl from a family of bamboo craftsmen in Kyoto, she's clumsy and naive - but nonetheless courageous and a skilled swordfighter. Despite her skill, however, her self-esteem is low; being told that she's "slow" and "stupid" most of her life has left her for the most part convinced that she truly isn't the brightest crayon in the box. If asked, her only skills are the flute and the sword, and she feels that she's a burden to her teammates on occasion. But that hasn't put a dent in her cheerful attitude at all - she is always up for just about anything.
Sample Post:
Ohh, I knew this way didn't look right a while ago, but now I know for sure! None of this looks familiar. Maybe walking the rest of the way home wasn't such a good idea, after all ... or maybe that left turn towards wherever 'Albuquerque' is was the right way, from that place? I mean, I've been lost near home before, but this doesn't look anything like where I ought to be. I know it's been a year since I've returned to Kyoto, but I think I'd know where I was going if I was where I was supposed to be.
Oh! Maybe I can ask ... excuse me! I was wondering, can you give me directions? I think I'm a little bit lost, or maybe that I just got turned around somewhere. Um, I was coming from that direction, I think. If you could just tell me how to get back to - what are you doing? Oh, this! It's a flute, see? It just looks like a stick because it's made of bamboo. You blow over this part and it makes a nice sound. Oh, no! Don't do it like that, you don't actually take it into your mouth that way. I don't think that would be very comfortable anyway. Just hold it like this between your fingers and blow. But gently!
... gentler than that, probably. D-Don't worry, though! You don't really need your teeth to blow into a flute. At least, I don't think so. I could give you a quick lesson, if you want! But after that, I really do have to start in the right direction; people are waiting for me at home. So if you'll promise to show me the right way to go, I'll teach you the right way to play a flute. That's fair, isn't it? And it'll be fun, too!
Actually, maybe we should start by reattaching your other arm, first ...

Character: Vaan
Series: Final Fantasy XII
Character Age: 18
Canon: Ivalice is a world of magic and wonder, filled with airships, strange creatures, wondrous cities, and endless caves. The tiny kingdom of Dalmasca is stuck between two greater powers, Archadia and Rozarria. At the beginning of the game, the murder of the King of Dalmasca is witnessed by a young soldier, who passes away soon after. Much of the story revolves around the complex political machinations of the characters, with deaths faked and innocents framed, and it's very own charismatic dictator. Trust is betrayed throughout the story, and people who were originally thought to be guilty are proven to be innocent. But despite all this, the main party always managed to soldier on, searching for the truth behind these events.
That young soldier had a brother, and that is the (theoretical) leading man of our story, Vaan. Vaan is a thief living on the streets of Dalmasca at the beginning of the story, and sort of a leader to his small group of street urchins. Even though he does live off of what he steals, he is still has a heart of gold. He is a upbeat and cheerful young man, looking for adventure (and often getting into trouble because of it). However, he's also a little bit tactless, often not realizing when something that he says or does could be taken the wrong way. As the story moves on, he also comes to terms with the death of his brother and learns to be more of a forwards facing person instead. He does his best to support the other characters in the series, and eventually learns that there is something greater than his own quest for revenge or satisfaction at work around him.
NOTES: Curaja (and other healing spells within the game) deals damage to undead monsters.

So, a new place to explore! Huh, it’s not the nicest one I’ve visited yet though.It smells like something is rotting here. Just like the sewers of home! I can’t really complain too much, then, can I? At least there isn’t as much standing water as I’m used to seeing on a daily basis. But even in those sewers, I still had company to get through at least I had friends with me back then. I’m not equipped for this without a party to back me up!
Oh, hey! It looks like you could be in need of some friendship and an alliance to get us both through being trapped in this new and scary place! Even if your skin is green, there's one thing I know: it’s not about your skin color, it’s about what’s inside, right? And you seem nice enough, and you’re the only thing out here that hasn’t looked looked at me as if he wanted to have me for dinner. So get up, get your arm on at the right angle, and let’s get moving! Now...do you got any pals that would be willing to travel with us? You've got another one? Awesome! Three should be enough-none of these monsters will be able to take us! Alright I don’t have anything with us, so we’re just going to have to go in barehanded. Let’s show the person in charge here who’s boss, guys. Let’s cut down every monster we see until we meet her at the top!
I get that you guys are scared to go into this without a lot of training, but don’t be scared! I’ll be right behind you, showing you all the ropes and making sure you don't get hurt. Now, do you see that mean looking purple gorilla right up ahead? Hold ground until it actually tries to attack us. Just keep an eye out, take off your arm again if necessary! Don’t be afraid to play dirty! Just be careful, and remember, you can only improve with practice! Just keep fighting and if it looks really bad, you can always back off. Alright, he’s here, so go in and do your best! Yeah! You guys are doing great-ahh! Watch out for that-eesh. Retreat, retreat! I know how to fix you guys up but you need to back down first…
Man I thought you guys couldn't possibly look any worse...but I guess anything is possible. Just stand still...Curaja! That should have fixed it! But wait, you actually look worse that before! Well, I guess you guys just need some rest too! Good job everyone! Don’t let this one mess up get you all down! We'll get back at it first thing in the morning!

Character: Rommie
Series: Andromeda
Character Age: Avatar has been active for 4 years
Canon: Andromeda: 300 years stuck in a black hole can leave you a little bedraggled. So what do you do? Try to pick up and move on. This is what Dylan Hunt had to do. With the help of an unlikely band of thieves and a mercenary he strives to rebuild the fallen commonwealth, which he had the horrible luck to see the beginning of, but not the rest. Dylan is faced with many hardships through his quest, but with the help of his trusty starship, the Andromeda Ascendant, he manages to rebuild the commonwealth. At least until it all goes to hell again.
Rommie is the Andromeda Ascendant’s avatar. An Android built by Harper, Rommie keeps to her function, and is very proud of being a warship. She’s a confident and direct woman, perfectly willing to tell you where to stick it if she doesn’t like you. She also has a terrible sardonic nature, any ammunition you give her to pick on you, she’ll likely take it. Dylan usually tells her to be polite, and she is, but it doesn’t stop her from letting one or two mocking lines slip. As a warship, she’s also incredibly intelligent, stating once that she has the brain the size of a planet, she can be very logical and tactical minded, however, unlike her Core Intelligence she’s capable of much more human reactions often leading to rather humorous disagreements between her and the A.I. All and all, she can be your best friend or your worst enemy; it all depends on how you treat her and those she cares about.
Note: The Bokor are a race of parasitic entities that take over a human host both living and dead and control it. Hence Rommie’s comment in the sample about the zombies.
Sample Post:
Location: Camp Fuck You Die, Louisiana, Earth. That was about all I was able to get out of the locals before one of them decided to try and eat me. Even though I politely told the gentlemen that I didn’t have the brain he thought I had, I was still forced to subdue him in the end. Analysis indicates that, considering the…decayed state of the natives it points strongly towards another Bokor infestation. Just what I need another bunch of reanimated corpses.
To top it off, there seems to be a pack of raptors living in the woods. Raptors. That’s defiantly a scientific impossibility, Humans, even dead ones, and dinosaurs can’t coexist. Obviously, the person who populated this planet either:
A.) Has a seriously sick sense of humor.
B.) Forgot to read Earth’s history or
C.) Read it, but ignored the important parts.
Raptors are predators, well, looking on the bright side; at least they have a food source. Not that I’d think rotted corpses would be very…appetizing. Well, who am I to question what an overgrown lizard finds acceptable for a gourmet meal? If they like tough, leathery flesh, all the more power to them.
Agh, speaking of leather, my boots are getting soggy and I really don’t want to get wetter than necessary, I definitely don’t need to short circuit in the middle of this place. Since I don’t have any backup, I’d be at the mercy of whoever found me. I suppose the best I can do at this point would try to gain more information. From where is going to be the problem, because right now, I certainly don’t see any computers I can access.
Down to the old “ascertain information by sight” plan now isn’t it? I’m an Android, I’m not meant for this low tech recon. I’m supposed to be for muscle, hacking...blowing things up. Not looking around at the pretty scenery and trying to pinpoint just which time frame I’ve gotten stuck in. Oh the theory of temporal displacement. Ouch.
I hate time travel.

Canon: Andromeda: 300 years stuck in a black hole can leave you a little bedraggled. So what do you do? Try to pick up and move on. This is what Dylan Hunt had to do. With the help of an unlikely band of thieves and a mercenary he strives to rebuild the fallen commonwealth, which he had the horrible luck to see the beginning of, but not the rest. Dylan is faced with many hardships through his quest, but with the help of his trusty starship, the Andromeda Ascendant, he manages to rebuild the commonwealth. At least until it all goes to hell again.
Rommie is the Andromeda Ascendant’s avatar. An Android built by Harper, Rommie keeps to her function, and is very proud of being a warship. She’s a confident and direct woman, perfectly willing to tell you where to stick it if she doesn’t like you. She also has a terrible sardonic nature, any ammunition you give her to pick on you, she’ll likely take it. Dylan usually tells her to be polite, and she is, but it doesn’t stop her from letting one or two mocking lines slip. As a warship, she’s also incredibly intelligent, stating once that she has the brain the size of a planet, she can be very logical and tactical minded, however, unlike her Core Intelligence she’s capable of much more human reactions often leading to rather humorous disagreements between her and the A.I. All and all, she can be your best friend or your worst enemy; it all depends on how you treat her and those she cares about.
Note: The Bokor are a race of parasitic entities that take over a human host both living and dead and control it. Hence Rommie’s comment in the sample about the zombies.
Sample Post:
Location: Camp Fuck You Die, Louisiana, Earth. That was about all I was able to get out of the locals before one of them decided to try and eat me. Even though I politely told the gentlemen that I didn’t have the brain he thought I had, I was still forced to subdue him in the end. Analysis indicates that, considering the…decayed state of the natives it points strongly towards another Bokor infestation. Just what I need another bunch of reanimated corpses.
To top it off, there seems to be a pack of raptors living in the woods. Raptors. That’s defiantly a scientific impossibility, Humans, even dead ones, and dinosaurs can’t coexist. Obviously, the person who populated this planet either:
A.) Has a seriously sick sense of humor.
B.) Forgot to read Earth’s history or
C.) Read it, but ignored the important parts.
Raptors are predators, well, looking on the bright side; at least they have a food source. Not that I’d think rotted corpses would be very…appetizing. Well, who am I to question what an overgrown lizard finds acceptable for a gourmet meal? If they like tough, leathery flesh, all the more power to them.
Agh, speaking of leather, my boots are getting soggy and I really don’t want to get wetter than necessary, I definitely don’t need to short circuit in the middle of this place. Since I don’t have any backup, I’d be at the mercy of whoever found me. I suppose the best I can do at this point would try to gain more information. From where is going to be the problem, because right now, I certainly don’t see any computers I can access.
Down to the old “ascertain information by sight” plan now isn’t it? I’m an Android, I’m not meant for this low tech recon. I’m supposed to be for muscle, hacking...blowing things up. Not looking around at the pretty scenery and trying to pinpoint just which time frame I’ve gotten stuck in. Oh the theory of temporal displacement. Ouch.
I hate time travel.
