Character: Gamzee Makara
Series: Homestuck
Character Age: 13 (6 troll solar cycles)
Canon: Homestuck is a series in which the world is rife with video game abstractions even before the main characters themselves begin playing a video game which interacts with the world- which they find out is their only option to SAVE the world, only they're not going to save it, never were, and that wasn't really the goal of the game to begin with so why would you even think that?
Gamzee Makara is a troll- but a bad one. He’s one of the friendliest trolls you ever did meet: he’ll never hesitate to listen to anyone about anything. He'll proceed to offer advice on the subject, which usually entails slamming a ‘wicked elixir’ (read: Faygo Soda), chilling out, and waiting for a miracle because he can feel one coming on. This alone makes him pretty strange, but if that were not enough to dissuade other trolls from talking to him, despite his friendly nature he has quite the foul mouth, likes talking about clowns, honking, and a tendency to zone out for hours at a time. When someone actually decides to talk to him, he gets a little excited about the prospect. He’ll go to any length for a friend, even if he’s the only one who thinks they are. He sounds like a pretty cool guy, right? Well you see, for trolls, friendship is like... a disease.
Note: Under normal circumstances Gamzee speaks in a manner that Is JuSt A lItTlE bIt WhImSiCaL. This has been altered to help legibility, because otherwise reading the following would be a motherfucking miracle :o)

Motherfuck, my friends... motherfuck. Sorry, I totally just all up zoned out for a while there, I don't even know why. I was doing something but I totally don't remember- you either? Motherfuckin boss, man, it's all good anyway right? If we both forgot it couldn’t be fucking important whatsoever or we’d totally remember.
Oh! Doesn't much matter at all, since I totally all up and remembered what I was gonna say to begin with, man, and it’s only the most important discussion point in the fucking world! This world man, it's pretty mysterious right? All up and unexplainable shit no matter where you look. I mean, look at this tree. How's it know to grow fucking leaves like that? I don't know. Nobody told it to do that shit. It’s just doing all that shit all on its own like it ain’t nothing to be amazed at but it's a fucking miracle man. I can’t grow leaves, I bet you can’t either, how the fuck can it even do it? Look, see, that tree doesn't even know man, it doesn't know what is up, it's growing some kind of cloth man, that's a real fuckin’ miracle right there, there’s fucking bows on some of those things, that shouldn’t be natural, only it’s fucking happening right in front of us and you can't- you can't even argue with that one bro. Don’t try explaining it man, I don’t even want to know. Honk honk!
But like- like just keep looking. So many fuckin’ miracles it's hard to be chill because shit is just motherfuckin’ miracles as far as the eye can all up and see. Oh. Uuuuhhhhh. Sorry brosef, didn't know anything about that shit. That's fucking harsh man, anything a bro can all up and do to make you fucking forget your ails, man? Make the world all bright and shit even though everything is all black? If there's anything this motherfucker can do for you just you go and fucking say it okay?
Uuuhhhh. Are you okay? Now your mouth just kind of- yeahhh... it pops right back on?! Motherfuck! That's the best sloppy shit of a miracle I ever did take a big old whiff of. You know what, brosightless? We should totally celebrate that shit, now that you got your motherfuckin’ mouth back on and all. Just take a big old swig of some wicked chill elixir that fucking fell from the motherfucking mystical blue sky and get your chill on before you start mouthing off again like the most chill motherfucker who ever did chill.
Hahahaha whoa, I think I forgot what chill meant for a minute there. Honk honk honk!

Character: Ventus
Series: Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
Character Age: Teenaged
Canon: A long long time ago in a world far away there were three derpy keyblade apprentices: Aqua, Terra, and Ventus. Like all keyblade apprentices, the day soon came when they would be tested to turn into keyblade masters. Only one actually succeeded, but when the world is in danger and you’re dealing with rebellious teens that never really matters, does it? What followed was their adventure through the Disney worlds du jour in an attempt to thwart the forces of darkness, uncover their hidden pasts, and return the world to a state of balance in the prequel otherwise known as Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.
The youngest of the three, Ventus, has his fellow keyblade wielders beat hands down when it comes to eagerness and naivete. Ven trusts easily and sometimes fails to realize the danger of the situations he’s in. He always tries his best to do what he can to help in the worlds he visits, even if that sometimes means inadvertently helping the forces of darkness, but hey, his heart's in the right place. Though he’s sometimes discouraged by how his friends outpace him, it’s usually short-lived, as Ven’s quick to bounce back and try again whether it's fighting Unversed or making friends. More than anything else, he's always striving to be someone that his friends and fellow keyblade wielders will be proud of.

Hey, you guys? Do you think you could tell me where we’re going? I really appreciate the welcome and everything but after the ear gnawing you’ve just been moaning and groaning and pushing me around. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, the ear gnawing, at least. I mean, I get that it's some kind of tradition or something, but you're all really acting kind of weird. If there’s something wrong, you can just tell me. I’ll help you out. I don’t really know what kind of world this is, but I can still do my best to make things right! So come on, guys!
...Guys? Hey, why’d you stop all of a sudden? We're not in the fields anymore, but where are we? There's just some tables and a stage and...what’s that banner say? “CFUD See Food Festival?” Oh, I get it! Those fields out there are yours, right? And you’re trying to put on a festival to show off what you’ve grown! Though I guess “groan” is more like it...that display’s pretty...gruugh. I mean, not in a bad way. Sort of. Look, all it needs is a little spicing up. You’ve just got to give it some pow and before you know it you’ll have people coming from all over the place to check it out! From other worlds, even! They’ll be begging to stay. We just need to step it up a little bit. Like...oh! I’ve got it. See your friend, the cow...robot--cowbot! I bet we could get her and her friends to make an awesome light show with their laser eyes! It’d be just like fireworks. And the toucans, too. Green and yellow’s good, but the more colors the merrier, right? If they just sit around over here it’d make a great backdrop.
Yeah, all right! Now it’s starting to look like a festival! No one’s gonna go “arrughn” or “aunnghr” when they see this display--hey! What do you mean “bleuagh”? Man, all you guys do is moan and complain. If you keep that up, we're never going to get this festival going. Look, we’ve already put this much work into it! The toucans even got those big gorilla guys to come in and help out! Tell me one thing that would make this any more awesome, come on.
Huh...brains? You know what...I think you’re right. That’s what we’re missing! Someone’s gotta be the brains of the operation. It’s not an award show if there’s no one to present it and it’s definitely not a festival without someone to announce the main event. You need to get the ball rolling and get the crowd all pumped up for the star of the show, right? That’s some good thinking on your part. Now all we’ve gotta do is find someone to play the par--huh? Me?! I’ve never really done something like this before, but for you guys I’ll give it a shot. Everybody ready? All right, let’s go!
Greetings all CFUDers! It is my pleasure to introduce the inaugural CFUD See Food Festival! And now, what you’ve all been waiting for, brought to you from the far reaches of the CFUD fields, ladies and gentlemen, I give you...corn!

Character: Sakuya Izayoi
Series: Touhou Project
Age: Appears to be between 16 to 20
Canon: Touhou Project: the game that makes you ponder things like “What are lolis doing with incredible powers and the ability to fire bullets at one another?” Well, the majority of these girls are youkai who are, thankfully, sealed away from the rest of the world in a land called Gensokyo. Really, Touhou Project is, all in all, roughly this: girls fight, often for ludicrous reasons, and, once they're through beating the crap out of each-other, they end the day with a feast. And booze.
One of the lucky humans living in Gensokyo is Sakuya, the 'perfect and elegant' head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. In spite of the large number of fairy maids working with her, Sakuya's really doing all of the work--but since she can stop time to do all her chores with ease, it's no wonder she's actually happy with her otherwise hectic lifestyle. However, her nonsensical logic can get in the way from time to time. After all, who, other than Sakuya, replaces a broken teacup with another broken teacup? And opens a window in space? More often than not it’s her odd train of thought, along with her constant smiling and easy-going attitude, that earns herself confused stares. Aside from these odd perks, Sakuya is the refined and polite--albeit cold--maid you’d expect to meet.
Sample Post:
My, a building painted a brighter shade of red than my mistress's mansion? Seeing as I wasn't assigned a living residence, I might as well go ahead and take this. What better than a place that reminds me of home?
Oh. Good afternoon, sir. I didn't think anyone actually inhabited this building... Oh well. Since I'm already here I might as well take a look around. And sir, please wipe that apalled look off your face. I promise that I have no intentions to steal anything. It's not as though you actually have anything of value for me to take. Nail clippings and rat hair... Do I look like a witch who could conjure that into a potion? Then again, if I decide to stay here I might as well learn a thing or two about using these resources; only in tea.
I beg your pardon? If you wished for nobody to enter your house you shouldn’t have painted it such a bold color. You’re saying you painted it with the “blood of the innocent,” but the better option would have been the “blood of octopi.” I hear it is a pale blue; something that wouldn’t stand out as much as what you have here. What’s more, you could have used the remaining octopi to prepare takoyaki as a house-warming treat for your guests. Because I still would have walked in. Another problem was your building’s lack of guards and its open doors. If you’re airing the place out, I understand completely, as a good cleaning should always be an extensive one. Especially for a place as foul-smelling as this. But even so, you can’t blame a homeless passerby for being curious about a building that demands attention like this, can you?
Now, in exchange for providing you with my explanation, as well as some advice, you should kindly pour me a cup of what you have there. It's the hospitable thing to do, you know. After all, I'm your new roommate as of today. Thank you--wait, there’s a finger floating in my drink!
...it’s your finger? Hm. If you never noticed it was missing, maybe you don’t need it back. I’ll simply go ahead and keep it as collateral. Just in case.

Character: Shirley Fennes
Series: Tales of Legendia
Character Age: 15
Canon: Taking place on the ship known as the Legacy, our story follows the adventures of Senel and his younger sister Shirley. There they learn about the ship itself, the Ferines-a race that Shirley is the Chosen One of, Sea Gods, friendship, family, and that people of different races can live peacefully together. Basically, Legendia is your average JRPG.
Because of Shirley's role as Chosen One of the Ferines, tons of people want to use her for their own purposes. This contributes to her terrible habit of getting kidnapped, so she’s been pretty much living under a rock with no contact with others. So at the start of the game Shirley is this socially awkward girl that doesn't really know how to talk anyone besides her brother. As the game progresses, though, Shirley overcomes her insecurities and shows herself to actually be a kindhearted girl that loves friendship, peace, and is stubborn enough to slap sense into someone when they are being ridiculous. Now she’s capable of talking to others, especially with her girl friends about her crush and figure.
Sample Post:
Um... Excuse me, Mr. Gorilla, I know it’ll seem out of place for me speak considering the situation right now, but may I please have a moment of your time? I just want to talk to you for a bit, I promise it won’t be long.Where to begin... Um, as the representative of the people on the other side of the cornfield. . . The one's who have skin problems and are asking for brain's- don't get me wrong though, they're very nice people! I think I'm getting off track here... but I'll just say it: please, put a stop to the fighting. I've been sent here to relay this message to you. So I hope you'll take it to heart. They told me that they just want to live in harmony and love. All this fighting is already senseless and they've already lost so many body parts... If you keep this up there won't be anything left of them.
I know this probably sounds silly to you because I don't know how long you all have been fighting over this cornfield... but to be understanding is probably one of the hardest things to do in a situation like this. Because I've been through something similar like this before, too, so I want to be of help. For you and the others.
To be honest, you seem like you're in pain yourself too. It's not a physical pain, but you’re hurt, right? I think that you’re lonely. I can understand that sometimes we do wrong when we feel like there's no one who'll be there for you, or that no one cares about you. But this won’t help you fill that hole in your heart. It’ll only hurt them and... you too. By doing this, you're only taking everything out on others, and even if it seems easier to do while you don’t realize it’ll actually just makes harder on you. I don’t want you to feel that pain. I think you deserve better than that. What you need to remember is that no matter what, you aren't alone. Lets start by talking with everyone on the other side, okay? If you come with me, we can take it slowly. I’m sure we can reach an agreement on sharing the cornfield somehow.
I'll start: I'm Shirley Fennes. Let’s get along from now on!

Character: Walter Delques
Series: Tales of Legendia
Character Age: 17
Canon: Through a twist of fate, Senel Coolidge and his sister Shirley find themselves stranded on an ancient continent-sized ship known as the Legacy. There they learn more about the ship and its people, as well as the conflict between the Orerines and the Ferines- two of the races of the land. As it turns out, Shirley happens to be the Merines, the Chosen One of the Ferines and that leads to her being kidnapped a lot since both sides want to use her. Unfortunately for Senel, she even tends to get kidnapped from her kidnappers by a Mysterious Youth who’s constantly beating him to the punch.
Of course, said Mysterious Youth doesn’t believe that he’s kidnapping Shirley. Rather, he believes that he’s rescuing her. You see, Walter has been raised to one day become the Merines’ bodyguard and he has a near fanatical devotion towards her. He will go as far as to put his own life on the line to save her, and nearly every motive he has derives from what he believes to be in her best interest. He takes great pride in being a part of the Ferines race, and while he’s generally not a very friendly person, they’re the only people he’ll consider treating in a remotely civil or nice manner, even if he might still be a bit snappy. In contrast, he’s very critical and close-minded towards everyone else, believing them all to be scum with malicious intentions. As a result, he treats them coldly, if not outright hostile.
Sample Post:
Tch. When I was told that I would be rendezvousing with the local team to save the Merines, I already had my doubts. It’s too convenient that there’d be an “elite” group of Ferines troops outside of the Legacy. Especially when it's one that I’d never heard of before. But I didn’t think the whole lot of them would literally be useless half-wits with barely functional body parts. They can't even form coherent words and to top things off, they smell as foul as their disgusting appearance. Surely they don’t expect me to believe that we’re a part of the same race? Fine. As much as I hate having to do this, the Merines comes first. I’ll cooperate. For now, let’s see if I can at least try to piece them into shape before we embark. Hopefully their incompetence won’t be more of a hindrance than help.
Hey you! Get your ears back on and pay close attention because I’m not going to repeat myself! Now, according to what we know, the Merines is currently being held captive by a rogue group of gorillas. They’re currently transporting her through this cornfield in order to reach the silo. There they’ll be protected by a powerful monster, which means that the best course of action is to flank them before they reach their destination. Here’s the plan: all of you are going to sneak in and take them up front, and I’ll take them from behind. It shouldn’t be hard even with your unfortunate handicap, and provided that your legs don’t fall off while you’re storming in, we’ll have come and left so fast that they won’t have time to react. If you’re half the Ferines soldiers you claim to be, then you'll try your damndest to ensure that the timing is right and not a second’s off. This is important because it can jeopardize the Merines’ safety. Do you understand? So stop wasting precious time!
-I didn’t mean to charge in now! Ugh. . . those useless pieces of filth! Now I’ll need to improvise my plans and move in quickly so that I can reach the Merines before they do. I don't trust that they won't try to do anything to her if they find her first. Fortunately with them playing the decoy, the gorillas’ rear will be left exposed. I’ll be able to take it hard and fast while those apes are distracted, then I just need to find where she's held. If only these foolish rows of corn didn’t make it so difficult to navigate. It looks like there's one gorilla left behind, so. . . You there! If you don’t want to die, you’ll tell me where your filthy kin is keeping the Merines immediately!
. . . what do you mean my princess is in another cornfield!?

As the game progresses, though, Shirley overcomes her insecurities and shows herself to actually be a kindhearted girl that loves friendship, peace, and is stubborn enough to slap sense into someone when they are being ridiculous. Now she’s capable of talking to others, especially with her girl friends about her crush and figure.

Um... Excuse me, Mr. Gorilla, I know it’ll seem out of place for me speak considering the situation right now, but may I please have a moment of your time? I just want to talk to you for a bit, I promise it won’t be long.Where to begin... Um, as the representative of the people on the other side of the cornfield. . . The one's who have skin problems and are asking for brain's- don't get me wrong though, they're very nice people! I think I'm getting off track here... but I'll just say it: please, put a stop to the fighting. I've been sent here to relay this message to you. So I hope you'll take it to heart. They told me that they just want to live in harmony and love. All this fighting is already senseless and they've already lost so many body parts... If you keep this up there won't be anything left of them.
I know this probably sounds silly to you because I don't know how long you all have been fighting over this cornfield... but to be understanding is probably one of the hardest things to do in a situation like this. Because I've been through something similar like this before, too, so I want to be of help. For you and the others.
To be honest, you seem like you're in pain yourself too. It's not a physical pain, but you’re hurt, right? I think that you’re lonely. I can understand that sometimes we do wrong when we feel like there's no one who'll be there for you, or that no one cares about you. But this won’t help you fill that hole in your heart. It’ll only hurt them and... you too. By doing this, you're only taking everything out on others, and even if it seems easier to do while you don’t realize it’ll actually just makes harder on you. I don’t want you to feel that pain. I think you deserve better than that. What you need to remember is that no matter what, you aren't alone. Lets start by talking with everyone on the other side, okay? If you come with me, we can take it slowly. I’m sure we can reach an agreement on sharing the cornfield somehow.
I'll start: I'm Shirley Fennes. Let’s get along from now on!

Character: Walter Delques
Series: Tales of Legendia
Character Age: 17
Canon: Through a twist of fate, Senel Coolidge and his sister Shirley find themselves stranded on an ancient continent-sized ship known as the Legacy. There they learn more about the ship and its people, as well as the conflict between the Orerines and the Ferines- two of the races of the land. As it turns out, Shirley happens to be the Merines, the Chosen One of the Ferines and that leads to her being kidnapped a lot since both sides want to use her. Unfortunately for Senel, she even tends to get kidnapped from her kidnappers by a Mysterious Youth who’s constantly beating him to the punch.
Of course, said Mysterious Youth doesn’t believe that he’s kidnapping Shirley. Rather, he believes that he’s rescuing her. You see, Walter has been raised to one day become the Merines’ bodyguard and he has a near fanatical devotion towards her. He will go as far as to put his own life on the line to save her, and nearly every motive he has derives from what he believes to be in her best interest. He takes great pride in being a part of the Ferines race, and while he’s generally not a very friendly person, they’re the only people he’ll consider treating in a remotely civil or nice manner, even if he might still be a bit snappy. In contrast, he’s very critical and close-minded towards everyone else, believing them all to be scum with malicious intentions. As a result, he treats them coldly, if not outright hostile.

Tch. When I was told that I would be rendezvousing with the local team to save the Merines, I already had my doubts. It’s too convenient that there’d be an “elite” group of Ferines troops outside of the Legacy. Especially when it's one that I’d never heard of before. But I didn’t think the whole lot of them would literally be useless half-wits with barely functional body parts. They can't even form coherent words and to top things off, they smell as foul as their disgusting appearance. Surely they don’t expect me to believe that we’re a part of the same race? Fine. As much as I hate having to do this, the Merines comes first. I’ll cooperate. For now, let’s see if I can at least try to piece them into shape before we embark. Hopefully their incompetence won’t be more of a hindrance than help.
Hey you! Get your ears back on and pay close attention because I’m not going to repeat myself! Now, according to what we know, the Merines is currently being held captive by a rogue group of gorillas. They’re currently transporting her through this cornfield in order to reach the silo. There they’ll be protected by a powerful monster, which means that the best course of action is to flank them before they reach their destination. Here’s the plan: all of you are going to sneak in and take them up front, and I’ll take them from behind. It shouldn’t be hard even with your unfortunate handicap, and provided that your legs don’t fall off while you’re storming in, we’ll have come and left so fast that they won’t have time to react. If you’re half the Ferines soldiers you claim to be, then you'll try your damndest to ensure that the timing is right and not a second’s off. This is important because it can jeopardize the Merines’ safety. Do you understand? So stop wasting precious time!
-I didn’t mean to charge in now! Ugh. . . those useless pieces of filth! Now I’ll need to improvise my plans and move in quickly so that I can reach the Merines before they do. I don't trust that they won't try to do anything to her if they find her first. Fortunately with them playing the decoy, the gorillas’ rear will be left exposed. I’ll be able to take it hard and fast while those apes are distracted, then I just need to find where she's held. If only these foolish rows of corn didn’t make it so difficult to navigate. It looks like there's one gorilla left behind, so. . . You there! If you don’t want to die, you’ll tell me where your filthy kin is keeping the Merines immediately!
. . . what do you mean my princess is in another cornfield!?
