Character: Ilana Lunis
Series: Sym-Bionic Titan
Character Age: 16
Canon: The chaos started when Galaluna was invaded by the Mutraddi, a race of evil creatures. Overpowered by them, the king sent his teenage daughter princess Ilana to Earth, along with corporal Lance and an advanced robot called Octus. Their mission? To protect her and remain hidden. Naturally, the best way to blend in with humans is to attend High School . . . and to fight the monsters after them on the side.

As one of the protagonists, Ilana is a soft-spoken, peace-loving, outgoing, smart and compassionate leader-to-be who never hesitates to fight for what she believes is right. Not only that, but she's strong-willed, always encouraging people to follow the rules, and she also has a tendency to give inspirational speeches whenever she has the chance, even to the point of overdoing it. Despite her clear unpopularity at school (even called a "doofus" since day one) and her sometimes bossy attitude, she is always willing to risk her life to help others. However, even if she's still a teenager who acts immature at times, her speech-pattern is more on the formal side. As a note, she finds the Earthlings' culture and customs quite fascinating.

Okay, here goes.

Salutations, people. I'm Ilana Lunis and I only need to borrow a minute of your time. So please, listen up carefully! This is a serious matter that needs everyone's attention, something so important that it can't be ignored any longer. Please, I ask everyone who is currently hearing my voice to stop what you're doing for this! It won't take long and it's for the greater good, so now isn't the time to act indifferent to this announcement. A summer camp is a place for educational and cultural development where everyone works together towards spiritual self-nourishment. As campers and counselors alike of this long-lived camp, it's your moral duty to take responsibility of the situation at hand and to take action today. Not tomorrow or in the near future, but now! There's no time to lose!

Ready? All right, this is the situation. I've been told about the unfair living conditions one of the most representative creatures of Camp Fuck U Die is living under. As she's a very rare and unique creature, it's important to ensure she gets a safe and peaceful environment. Marcy isn't only the Director's favorite pet, she's also the oldest resident of this summer camp and she's been looking after every one of you here for quite a while now. She deserves your gratitude and your help in order to regain her spirits. Instead, she feels abandoned! She's succumbed to despair as she keeps on longingly watching the people who've tossed her aside. Marcy is suffering. It's time for you, all of you, to do something about it. Yes, this has to stop at once! Please, we must unite as a team to free her from her chains.

It's easy. If you want to help, all you need to do is listen to me! What Marcy needs most is a new home, a new place with enough water and space to swim in freely. That corn silo isn't big enough for her anymore; it's left her unsatisfied for the longest time. She desperately need something bigger and you're the only ones who can satisfy her! Not only that, but she needs friends. She aches for company, for having people by her side. Can you imagine a life of confinement without physical touch? Without the warmth of someone close to you? She deserves to get all that back! All of it. No one deserves to live in a world without love and freedom, and you can make a difference now.

You need Marcy in all her beautiful glory for that to happen, and Marcy needs you. Fight on, everybody! Show her your love and compassion today!

Character: Teddy
Canon: Kamen Rider Den-O
Age: Unknown

Canon: Kamen Rider Den-O is a series (TV and movies) that teaches people even the inept can be heroes. When you mix generally being hopeless, terrible luck and a tendency to do what you're told, with a surprisingly strong sense of right and wrong, you get Ryoutarou. He fights evil time-travelling monsters called Imagin, who take on a physical form by granting the wish (usually in a twisted way) of a human contract holder. They want to destroy our timeline. Ryoutarou fights them this with the help of good Imagin, a time-travelling train called Denliner, and the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Den-O. When his Imagin friends help him, he can access different modes of Den-O. Ryoutarou's grandson, Koutarou, fights as New Den-O in the future. He's helped by his Imagin, Teddy. He's separated from Koutarou in Episode Blue, which is where this application is taking him from.

Teddy is quiet, and shy, and doesn't understand why others rebel as they do. He believes in people knowing their places, obeying orders, and helping out. He is only aggressive and wants to fight when it comes to helping others. He enjoys his rapport with Koutarou when they're fighting, and provides a countdown for Koutarou to finish off the enemy. Teddy is somewhat lost without that this role, without being able to define himself in this way. He is very polite, and is only just beginning to understand that maybe it's okay for him to express his own desires. Maybe it's okay for him to disagree, just a little, espec. Maybe it's okay for friendship to be more important than obeying orders. Maybe -- just maybe -- he can be his own person. . .

Sample post:

Dear Diary,

I was told to come here and make my own decisions, so I am following orders in that regard. I need to learn about being a person. I have been given a list of suggestions:

- write a poem
- learn to make coffee
- learn to dance
- try out 'chat-up lines'
- look after a pet
There have been no rogue Imagin attacks, so I have felt comfortable complying with this. Today I tried a 'chat-up' line, one that came highly recommended to me by two people. I went up to large, purple, hairy person and said, "Would you mind if I climaxed inside you? Can't HEAR you!"

Judging by the position of the sun in the sky, it was some hours later when I woke up with my head jammed through an outhouse wall. I do not feel altogether well, but it was an interesting encounter and I am pleased that I was not actually rebuffed. Tomorrow perhaps we shall have a second 'date'.

After that, I picked the option of looking after a pet, as it seems closest to my previous life. I like taking care of others. I found myself sitting in a field, making daisy chains for Marcy's tentacles. It took some time, but I bore my responsibilities without complaining, as she seemed to appreciate it . The daisy chains were at the very least tasty for her. She did not have any fur for me to stroke or adorn, but I managed to braid three of her tentacles together.

I tried to follow dance steps earlier but a man with flesh rotting from his very skull moaned an uncomplimentary comment, calling me an 'apoplectic dung beetle in a microwave'.

I will record my latest attempt at a poem here. I have attempted to create a limerick today, as that seems to be fairly simple.

There once was a man from Nantucket.
Who had a very big bucket.
It was stolen by a thief
Who laughed with relief
And told the poor man he could go and buy another one.

I'm not sure if I completely understand the rhyme scheme.

It's certainly been interesting. I wish to stay here for a time and learn more, and perhaps find a friend. I'd like to have a friend.

Character: Kunisaki Izumo
Series: Kunisaki Izumo no Jijou
Character Age: 15
Canon: For sixteen generations, the Kunisaki family has been a very famous name in the world of Kabuki theater productions. Thousands would line up nightly to see performances by the men of the house, and every performance earned standing ovations. However, the newest member of the Kunisaki family, who carries the hopes and dreams of everyone else, happens to be an onnagata (a young man who plays female roles) who has no interest in cross-dressing at all. They have to use trickery, blackmail, and manly tears to even get him to wear women’s clothing in the first place, let alone go on stage. What makes it worse is that every performance is a do-or-die situation: the Kunisaki family’s finances have been dwindling over the years, and one failed performance could send the family to the poor house. So it’s up to Kunisaki Izumo, reluctant heir to the Kunisaki family, to save the family with his pretty face and charming personality.

Izumo is, for the most part, a pretty normal teenager. He’s an alright guy, if a bit on the rough side, and he’s pretty easy to talk with if you don’t piss him off. The problem is that it’s very easy to push Izumo’s buttons. See, Izumo gets mistaken for a girl a lot, and while he’s fine with it if it’s for a performance he hates it when it happens outside of the theater. He especially hates dressing like a girl, as he takes it as a trespass on his manliness. But at the same time, it’s very easy to manipulate motivate Izumo into doing his work, even if it involves doing something he doesn’t want to do. He does have a heart, and sob stories win him over incredibly easy. Once he’s motivated to do something, he’ll stay on-task and finish whatever he’s promised to do. He’s pretty good about taking charge when he needs to, but he’s alright with yielding control to someone who knows what they’re doing. And despite his very vocal protests, Izumo really is a damn good actor, and he takes his performances seriously. Just remember that all of his flirty charm is an act: ask him to be your girlfriend, and you’re more likely to get a broken face than a date.

Okay, I have my doubts about this script, but if this is what the campers want then I’ll go for it. I don’t really get what’s so great about a love affair between a human, a werewolf, and a vampire, but I’m not really into supernatural stuff, so whatever. I’ll trust our director here, Mr. Graaawrgh seems to know what the people here at camp like. What’s important is that the play does well: the director told me all about how the camp needs a morale boost, so let’s do our best and make this a show they’ll never forget! We’ve only got a few weeks to practice and get everything together, so we have to make every moment count.

And speaking of getting everything together, it looks like the wardrobes are here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got… Oh for crying out loud- no, I already told you, I’m not wearing a damn mini-skirt! I know I have to cross-dress for my job, but there’s limits! Big, flowing kimonos and girly wigs? That’s fine, the clothes cover everything anyway. But a skirt is a no-go. I’m not showing my legs off to all of camp, and no, doubling my pay won’t change my mind. I may be here to help the director, but I still have standards. And don’t think I don’t know about those toucans with their freaky mind powers! I’ve already seen them play ‘flip the skirt’ three times since I got here. I draw the line at showing everyone what kind of underwear I wear.

Fine, just take this stuff away, we’ll work out the wardrobe later. Let’s just get this practice going. So we’ve got me as the girl with love issues, Mr. Gorilla here as my dad, that group of scarecrows over there as the vampire family, Marcy as the werewolf, and Marcy as- woah wait a minute, why is this Marcy person playing both love interests? And why is Marcy playing anyone at all, there’s no girls in Kabuki! Not that anyone would really be able to tell, I guess, since she’s just a big mass of tentacles, but still. You can’t use one tentacle for one role and another for the other, it’s based on your whole body, not just which parts you can move. Seriously, did the director lose his brain when he cast these roles? …oh, I guess he did. Right, sorry Mr. Graaawrgh. Marcy can be a stand-in for both roles for now, until we find your brain and get this sorted out. I’m going to go ahead and start on page 24, so everyone flip over there.

“Oh, I just don’t know what to do anymore. I love him, but I love you as well. The choices, they’re just maddening! Hold me…” AUGH, STOP! Tentacles above the waist, Marcy! When I told you that this wasn’t an X-rated show, that wasn’t a signal for you to go and make it one!

Character: Nogami Koutarou / Kamen Rider NEW Den-O
Series: Saraba Kamen Rider Den-O and following movies
Age: 18
Canon: In a superhero series where the protagonist is introduced with his bicycle up a tree - with him on it, mind you - there doesn’t seem to be much hope for any form of competence while he attempts to save time from the monsters trying to wreck it. The Imagin are on the loose, and the only hope time has is the time train Denliner and its champion, Den-O. Unfortunately, Den-O’s powers have been entrusted to Nogami Ryoutarou - the aforementioned guy up a tree. His terrible luck makes fighting the evil Imagin impossible on his own, but with the help of some time shenanigans and a handful of good Imagin that possess him and unlock Den-O’s latent powers, Ryoutarou can actually get somewhere with the whole ‘saving the timestream’ thing.

Fortunately, Ryoutarou gains the help of his grandson from the ~*~Future~*~, Koutarou. Introduced as a skilled and arrogant fighter with his partner Imagin Teddy by his side, Koutarou eyerolls his way through dealing with his grandfather’s jesusy good Imagin. Eventually he realises that his offhand, aggressive approach to being a hero isn’t getting him anywhere, and ultimately develops into a reliable addition to the DenLiner crew. While still a bit snarky and blunt, his personality has become that of a much friendlier person. However he did inherit Ryoutarou’s horrid luck and therefore is basically the buttmonkey of the universe - his misfortune is random and frequent. But Koutarou remains steadfast and determined, dealing with situations in a much less douchey and much more rational manner than before. He’s a good, kind kid, really; a nougaty Nogami center coated in a hard tsundere outer shell.

Okay, instead of listening to you laughing about the 'greeting' the bird outside gave me, let's talk about what we're meant to be doing.

I was sent to defend Camp Fail Ur Time Management because you think there's something attacking your building, but there's nothing here. One of your workmates having his arm fly off and coincidentally slap me in the face doesn't count as a time disruption and that’s that. Why would they put people like you in charge of time management, anyway? No wonder the place is falling apart. It's probably trying to take after you guys. In any case, let's sort this out so I can go back to what I'm actually meant to be doing. I can't really let you work like this forever.

Look. I think you're going to need... a logging system of some kind. Keep a track of when and how people get to the actual camp you're monitoring. Or if you're so determined to keep their timelines in order, make a list of their activity. What they've been doing, and with who. Obviously you're not going to get everything, but keep the most important moments of the day. You could get notified while it’s happening, and file it all properly later. Don't groan about how tedious it is, no one wants to do it. Think about it; if you can't manage your own time, how do you expect to keep all these together? It's kind of ridiculou--

Uuaaagh- Wh-why is there suddenly a pit here? This is what you were talking about when you said it was under attack? Or is this what happens when you let this get out of hand, timelines suddenly end and then aren't ever brought up again, leaving these holes everywhere? A-anyway, I’m getting out of this - it's not like I belong. There should at least be something up warning others of the dangers working here. Sure, there's signs pointing to the holes, but they don't actually explain anything.

Look, they're not even spelt right. There isn't an 'L' in 'pot'.
