Character Name: Aradia Megido
Series: Homestuck
Age: Equivalent of 13 years old.
Canon: Homestuck is the coming of age story of four teenagers playing a computer game that resulted in the Earth being barraged by meteors. That sucked. Now they are learning about love, friendship and how that guy who keeps insulting you is really annoying when you are trying to get things done. You see, the kids’ session of the game has been irrevocably linked with another session, and boy is that session pissed off at how the kids screwed their game over. The other session, while “trolling” the human session (apt, as their species is called trolls), are learning the joys of death, more death and a bit of death on the side.
Aradia is intimately familiar with the concept of death, being first a necromantic archaeologist, then dead, then possessing a robot and finally alive again in a series of events that have made her into a fully actualized Maid of Time (read: goddess of time manipulation). None of these events make any sense to anyone else, so don’t worry. Due to her unique life experiences, Aradia is upbeat and cheerful now that she has a pulse again, despite having killed a lot of AU Aradias to reach this point as she knows how things will turn out. Now that she’s alive, Aradia has universes to save and sad trolls to cheer up. Thankfully, she has terrible puns, dorky mannerisms and all of the time in the world to do all of these things. On top of this, she is able to go and visit the dead in their own individual afterlife universe bubbles to reveal the secrets of the universe to them, because Aradia is just that awesome.
Note: Aradia’s canon has the characters speak in chatlogs. Aradia’s handle is apocalypseArisen, and she speaks: without capitals or much punctuation but with some emoticons :D

Character: Cassandra Cain/Batgirl II
Series: DC Comics
Character Age: 17-19ish
Canon: After witnessing the death of his parents, Bruce Wayne decides to take justice into his own hands and devotes his life to fighting crime as the Batman. Despite being the angstbucket and general loner of the DCU, Batman starts collecting sidekicks like socks.
Among these is the second Batgirl, Cassandra Cain. Cassandra's purpose in becoming a vigilante is unique from the rest of the Bat-family, in that instead of avenging the murder of a loved one, Cassandra is attempting to atone for a murder she committed. This guilt shapes her, and one thing Cassandra values above all else is human life. Quiet and focused, Cassandra is one of the deadliest members of the Bat-family. For all her skill in crime fighting though, she is hopelessly adrift when it comes to social interactions and everyday tasks. Raised to be an assassin since birth, Cassandra understands very little spoken language and relies mainly on body language. While her ability to read someone's movements before they've even properly thought of them make her an excellent fighter, speaking is difficult for her. She chooses words with great deliberation, making her speech seem halting and disjointed. Still, Cassandra has a quick wit and dry sense of humor when not on the job. With the help of former Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, and Spoiler/Stephanie Brown, Cassandra slowly learns how to work as part of a team and how to fit into a family.
Sample Post:
Strange things here. Human-shaped, but not human movements. Have to be careful. Make myself not human too. What would she say. "Work it." Look fierce. Walk the walk? Or was it talk the talk... Not important. Camouflage is important.
[Arms held out limply, she drops her shoulders, and shifts so that her body is at slightly unnatural angles.]
Be the enemy. Don't be dead. Just undead. Rarrrgh.
[Appropriate grimace in place, she approaches the zombies. It soon becomes evident that her disguise isn't needed. Normal posture resumed, her head tilts to the side.]
They're not angry. Just....bored? Their bodies say, "No more Tuesday soup." Or maybe it's, "Equal rights and equal pay!" They also say, "Braaains." I can't understand. They want many things. Simple things. Maybe...I can help. I have also wanted things. Their bodies can remember. Moving. Dancing. Fighting. I can work with that. We can learn to...work. Strive? Together. Strive together.
[She raises her head high with renewed purpose, hands going to fists in preparation.]
Tell me. More than brains. Freedom? Happiness. I can teach you. Not dancing. ...Not flying either. Fighting. What I'm best at. You need to remember. Remember...how bodies move. Not like that. You should not bend like that. Ever. And do not... gyrate. No thrusting either. Just stop. Stop now.
[She delivers a swift chop to the offending zombie. What would have been a nerve strike is instead slightly messy.]
Focus. You said you wanted to learn. Learn to fight the...oppressors? The repressed? Never mind. I will help. Put force here. Strike quickly. Again. Use your strength. Muscles aren't important. Be strong in other ways. The only muscle you need is here. Right here.
[A quick thump on the chest to indicate the organ in question and...]
...I did not mean to punch a hole in your rib cage. We can fix that. Still. Do things wholeheartedly. You've already begun.

Character: Cocona Bartel
Series: Ar'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar_tonelico_Qoga">Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel
Character Age: 13
Canon: Due to a catastrophe hundreds of years ago, the world of Ar Ciel has become inhabitable on the surface, the land turning into deadly clouds of plasma known as the Sea of Death. People have since migrated to live on floating land masses of artificial land in current times, that are part of 'Towers' set high up in the air, that protect them from the harsh environment that remains of the surface. Within Harvestasha, a continent set up within the third tower, Sol Cluster, there lies a society comprised solely of Reyvateils, Clustania, who hold most of the power over Sol Cluster. This is where Cocona comes into play, having been asked to bring the Heart of Gaea to Harvestasha, though she initially runs into trouble.
Originally posing as a cold and distant-natured boy named Tatsumi, Cocona is a pretty level-headed type of gal, if not also probably the most sensible member of the party, though she tends to border on sarcastic when it comes to Aoto and his logic, or stupid situations (or people) in general, and isn't too terribly afraid to speak her mind. She's friendly and helpful otherwise, if she comes across someone in need, though her helpfulness also tends to lead her right into the path of trouble. Cocona is an avid fan of Gergo, and enjoys using the word "boo" as an unique descriptive adjective.
Sample Post: Huh... this is such a boo place. You guys don't even have Gergo here; that's just even more unforgivably boo! And on top of that, there's these boo zombies going around, falling apart and everything... ugh, I don't want to think about it! I've already blasted a few with Song Magic, and I can't say I want to keep on doing that; have you thought about what the kind of imagery involved?
So what's up with this camp name, by the way? Camp Fuck... You Die...? How boo. It almost sounds like something Finnel would come up with; Saki would probably name it something like "Camp Cutie Fun". Either way, the name's pretty boo; you guys should really tell Miss Sayre to come up with a more awesome name, I think. At least something that fits how weird this place seems so far, anyway- I want to say I've seen weirder, too, but I'm starting to think this place might win out for being the weirdest, no, the booest! [Yes, she made up that word.] Do they seriously call the tentacle monster "Marcy"? I suppose it could be worse, but still.
But I guess I shouldn't say too much, actually; I was asked to help by Miss Sayre, after all. Kind of wish those boo birds would stop talking over me, though. That's so unbelievably rude! I'm not sure what exactly I can help with, but I'll do my best!
Boo... on second thought, I'm kind of thinking that decision. I mean, aside from the boo zombies, the tentacle monst- I mean, Marcy's kind of weird enough, but there's the talking birds, and the... gorilla? Is this seriously really happening, or is this some sort of boo dream that I'm having?
...
That was a bad question to ask, huh. I guess this is the part where I pinch myself, and hope to wake up, right? Maybe I should look around a little more, first. Boo... this is all so crazy!

Character: Mikajima Saki
Series: デュラララ!! ("Durarara!!")
Character Age: 15
Canon: In some worlds becoming a man is going off into the woods and killing a bear. In the world of Durarara!! being a man and going out into the world involves death fairies, Russian Sushi and the internet. Cyberbullying isn't just for the 11o'clock news. In a rather bildungsroman gesture, Ryuugamine Mikado moves to Ikeburo on a step towards growing up. There he us reunited with childhood friend and ex-gang leader -- Kida Masaomi. Kida has already bathed in the blood of his enemies, and is on his own way to growing up -- by leaving all that gang stuff behind. Or trying to. Unfortunately for Kida, certain ghosts like ex-girlfriends are quite difficult to leave behind.
Saki is Kida's girlfriend. Or she is his ex-girlfriend. Whichever label you choose, Saki is "that girl Kida goes to see but really just stares at her hospital window forlornly because he feels really guilty". Him feeling guilty is quite understandable, after all Saki had both her legs broken because of the gang biz that Kida was in. What makes this teen angst just a little more fucked up -- and really, one of the reasons why Saki is a bit demented -- is because she let herself get caught up in this. She let her get caught by the gang that opposed Kida's, because Izaya-san said it would help.
In a few words, Saki is cute but slightly ... off, much like a pastel colored temptress. She is someone who has absolute faith in Orihara Izaya (a rather dangerous man, that if you know anything about Durarara!!, that you should have nothing like faith in). This absolute faith allows her to accept situations like her boyfriend seeing other girls with a smile and a belief that he'll come back to her in the end. She's Izaya's pawn, but Saki also has a pretty keen understanding of herself, and an eye for understanding others.
Sample Post:
'April is the cruelest month'... I heard that, somewhere. Back home, I'm not sure I could agree. Because months are all the same, if the same people come to see you, right? Time passes differently when you have someone to love. Mm, and Izaya-san says that time passes slower when you're waiting for them. It's like how a watched But, in the end, when they finally do come back it's with the force of all the time that slowed down, right? So, I can be patient. Mm, it's true that saying it is much easier than doing so, especially when you hug so tightly, Marcy.
When you get a letter from the 'happiest place on earth', it's a little suspicious. I didn't think I knew anyone who would send me something like that. It made me wonder ... what kind of place is it? I thought it might be a bridge overlooking the water, where two people can sit together forever. Or maybe, the happiest place on earth is a small white box with no windows and the only thing you can feel is each other's heartbeats. I thought, that could be it. But then I saw Izaya-san's message.
He said come, so I did. Mm, you shouldn't get the wrong idea, Marcy. I'm not a 'yes girl', but Izaya-san is a little special. He knows everything. He knew about you, too. He told me that you're a tentacle monster that lives in a silo, and that you have a dirty past. Not that I'm bothered by it, everyone has little things they don't want to talk about. I'm sure ... someone from home, even in Ikebukuro, might think that believing in you would be a bit much. But if Izaya-san says there is a tentacle monster named Marcy and I should come ... then I do.
Izaya-san also said ... even if you climb up to the highest place and jump off, you only die for a second. That has to be true too, right? Mm, I'm not saying that either of us should. I can't, because I'm still waiting. But I just thought of it, because we're up here. It's almost frightening, but it's kind of beautiful too, isn't it? I think it would be even better if Masaomi were here with us. Since he isn't, I'll just say this to the wind and maybe he'll here it.
I'm still waiting, Masaomi. And I wish you were here.

Character: Yelling Bird
Series: Questionable Content / Indietits
Character Age: Abstract. He’s a bird for crying out loud.
Canon: Questionable Content is a ‘slice-of-life’ webcomic involving various characters from various aspects of indie (and non-indie) culture. Typically following the interplay of relationships within, it also involves sentient computers and other silly things. Indietits is a related side project of copy paste birds with silly species names.
Yelling Bird is, well… He’s an obnoxious Dickcissel (a species of bird) with a penchant for vocalizing various obscenities in a very loud fashion. Snarky, cynical, rude, vulgar and insolent are just a few of the very many words that can be used to describe him. Shameless is also in there, given he is readily able to insult his own masculinity and yours in the same breath. He has very few redeeming traits, like… like… ok, so he has absolutely none.
Originally started in the side project of the main series, Yelling Bird became the standard filler for QC whenever Jeph Jacques couldn’t/wouldn’t make a proper comic. As such, Yelling Bird perches metaphorically on the fourth wall, berating both sides with equal enmity.

Izaya-san also said ... even if you climb up to the highest place and jump off, you only die for a second. That has to be true too, right? Mm, I'm not saying that either of us should. I can't, because I'm still waiting. But I just thought of it, because we're up here. It's almost frightening, but it's kind of beautiful too, isn't it? I think it would be even better if Masaomi were here with us. Since he isn't, I'll just say this to the wind and maybe he'll here it.
I'm still waiting, Masaomi. And I wish you were here.

Character: Yelling Bird
Series: Questionable Content / Indietits
Character Age: Abstract. He’s a bird for crying out loud.
Canon: Questionable Content is a ‘slice-of-life’ webcomic involving various characters from various aspects of indie (and non-indie) culture. Typically following the interplay of relationships within, it also involves sentient computers and other silly things. Indietits is a related side project of copy paste birds with silly species names.
Yelling Bird is, well… He’s an obnoxious Dickcissel (a species of bird) with a penchant for vocalizing various obscenities in a very loud fashion. Snarky, cynical, rude, vulgar and insolent are just a few of the very many words that can be used to describe him. Shameless is also in there, given he is readily able to insult his own masculinity and yours in the same breath. He has very few redeeming traits, like… like… ok, so he has absolutely none.
Originally started in the side project of the main series, Yelling Bird became the standard filler for QC whenever Jeph Jacques couldn’t/wouldn’t make a proper comic. As such, Yelling Bird perches metaphorically on the fourth wall, berating both sides with equal enmity.
