Character: Swift
Series: Wraeththu trilogy, by Storm Constantine
Age: around 10. (Appearance and attitude: 20)

Canon: Canon: Humanity has fallen and a race of hermaphroditic beings known as Wraeththu has risen to take its place. They are stronger, smarter, hotter and they don't ever grow old. The first generation of Wraeththu was made up of young human males that had gone through inception, the process of passing along the blood-born mutagen; however, they soon learned how to reproduce among themselves.

Swift was one of the first born into this generation of pureblood Wraeththu. The son of the leader of a war-like tribe, he managed to have a sheltered childhood until, well, things happened. Coming of age, war, Cal (who, incidentally, ended up deflowering him) and even Caeru. (And, for the record, Swift topped both of them.) Needless to say, he matured in a very short amount of time, and after taking a consort, having a child with him, and defeating his father's former allies, Swift became the ruler of the Wraeththu in Megalithica.

Despite this, he never entirely lost the idealistic view of the world he had as a child. Noble and just - with a sometimes dry sense of humor - he grows fond of people very easily and will protect his family and his people before all else.

Well. I have to say, if you chose this place because you were afraid of being found, you did a fantastic job. I can't think of any group of Wraeththu that would willingly come anywhere near this area. Ever.

… not that you haven't done a good job! It's good to see there are still human settlements out here, but honestly, there's nothing to be afraid of any- ah, could you stop that? Thank you. As I was saying, the fighting is over for good, really, so you can get out of this dump, have a real home, maybe get a job-

You! Behind the tree! Stop. Throwing. Ro- Wait, is that a gorilla? Okay. All right. Never mind, then. I can't do anything for the gorilla. I'm sorry, but he'll have to find a job on his own.

Where was I? Ah, yes.

Listen. If you have nowhere else to go, I can arrange for you to settle in Galhea; there is an unoccupied area, and there should be enough room for everyone. And before you start getting any weird ideas about terrible work conditions and getting one meal a day, I am not looking for slaves, and I would never force anyone to come. If, for... some strange reason, you actually like it here, you're perfectly free to stay and play Leader of the Swamp or what have you, but...

In any case, my name is Swift. If the name doesn't tell you anything, I'm not going to ruin the surprise; we'll have time to become acquainted on the journey back home. I would prefer to leave as soon as possible, but, well, it has been a long trip, and it feels like it’s been ages since I bathed. Would anyone be kind enough to show me to a source of clean water?

Not the lake, please, I'll skip that. As comforting as the green-fluorescent glow is, I really don't think it'll be good for my complexion.

Character: Delirium
Series: Sandman by Neil Gaiman
Age: Ageless, appears 12-20 years depending who draws her

Canon: The Endless are seven anthropomorphic personifications
of essential aspects of the universe: they are, from oldest to
youngest, Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction (who quit, and is now
just sort of… a really cool hobo), Desire, Despair, and Delirium.
Delirium was once Delight, but changed untold aeons ago for reasons
that only she knows. While she normally appears to be a punk kid of
anywhere between twelve to twenty years old, she can basically take on
whatever shape occurs to her; she has also been known to become a
thousand perfectly formed multicolored tropical fish when she decides
to be, or possibly when she forgets not to be.

Delirium can have a variety of effects on the minds of those who
surround her (she has made someone believe they were entirely covered
with invisible insects; once, she made someone "always be happy for
ever and always.") She reacts to situations with a child's
spontaneity, so even though she's immensely powerful and knowledgeable
about certain things, she is volatile and kind of messed up. Delirium
tends to need someone to take care of her, as she gets lost easily,
has really bad days, and has trouble expressing herself in a way that
people can respond to. She can be completely adorable and completely
scary: broken, lovable, playful, funny, and sad.

And, since she is Delirium, anyone who's ever been delirious or insane
will find her unsettlingly familiar…

Um. I came here by myself. I can do that. If I want to. Because I
guess I was already sort of here, but then I was really here.
And then I got stuck. This is a weird little place. It's like an itty
bit of everywhere. But with tailgaters.

Um. They're actually alligators. I know that. Except the other ones.
With the different teeth.

…tailgaters.

Once I was driving and you can only do that on one side of the road.
And you're not supposed to be a tailgater. Those are for swamps.

Mostly I don't think swamps are like this one, though. With little
bits of everywhere in them. Mostly I think they're just squishy and
mud-colored. Um. I don't know. But this one has places in it.
Lots of places. Bits of…

What's the word for the thing that's everywhere but also it's a little
piece of whirly rock and water?

I think there is one. There must be a word. Um. I used to know it but I forgot.

Worlds?

All the people here. They're running around looking for their worlds.
Sometimes you just have to be your world for a while. You know.

Everybody wants somewhere back. Or someone. Or something. Like that.
They all want to go home. Except they are home. And they're here. At
the same time. Like a race with two people except they're the same
person really. I don't know. They're going to the same place after
everything's over for this time.

Oh. Oh, wow. There are purple gorillas here. That's
really good. I didn't even think of that before.

I think I want to be a swimmy balloon now. With stripes.

Character: Key
Series: Excel Saga (Anime-verse)
Age: Assumed late teens, 18ish, like the rest of ACROSS members.

Canon: Key is a dedicated and highly trusted member of ACROSS. He answers only to the very top men, taking their messages to all the individual cells. Well, really, he's a narcissistic rock singer who is usually too busy angsting to be able to sing. He appears in one episode, where he proceeds to seduce Excel, angst to everything in sight, and broadcast Il Palazzo's incompetence on national television. He talks in long, flowery sentences he thinks are poetic, and he wears pants with no back, with a cape that has the butt area cut out.

I!
Have!
Arrived!

I am Key, a messenger from the great and glorious organization of ACROSS! The beautiful goddess of rock, my mistress and muse, the controller of all my inspiration has demanded my service to the future rulers of the world, and so I come, on the orders of my mortal employers bearing news for my Lord Il Palazzo! I have traveled through the desolate wasteland from a distant land to find my lord, and need only to know where he now resides.

This is why you, oh angel of my life, glorious example of beauty that you are, should grant me passage to the headquarters of ACROSS. You, who are the epitome of grace and poise, light of my dark and dreary life, please show me the way to the conquered land of my Lord Il Palazzo.

Ah, thank you! I shall treasure this gift of your hand, still connected to your fair forearm, though no longer connected to your beautiful and well-formed elbow, until it rots away, like the inspiration of my muse, shrinking away to nothing if not revitalized with the blood and sweat of my long, firm guitar!

As I walk through the darkness that is this forest of doom, the small bits of color that I see are the only thing that brightens my way, like the tiny moments of inspiration that the goddess of my world allows me. I am lost, like these tiny rosebuds that bar my way, lost in the blackness of ambiguity.

Oh! Oh terrible misfortune! These roses, red as the blood I spill for the sake of my goddess, my muse of music and art, have captured me. They hold me close, like the arms of my mother, the inspirator of my life of song, as they strip me of my clothing. I am bare, like the newborn child who has not yet known the glory of the goddess I serve, the glorious creator of my song and the only meaning for my life! Oh, that I might learn to better serve the goddess, through this intrusion in my life and body!

Character: KOS-MOS
Series: Xenosaga Episode I-III/the Animation
Age: Built to appear 18

Canon: KOS-MOS is a female android designed and constructed by the
interstellar conglomerate Vector. Born from the mind of the late Kevin
Winnicot, she is composed entirely of mechanical parts, scarcely found in
the age of Realian technology. She is programmed to adhere to logic,
probability, and to fulfill her mission at all costs.

She is equipped with a "Simulated Personality OS" which is supposed to
emulate emotions such as sympathy. However, it does not always kick in
when it is supposed to. Though she is supposed to be an android in service
to humans, her tendency to put logic and probability first makes her very
difficult at times. Though she is supposed to be an emotionless android,
it is heavily hinted at in the game and as seen through actions of KOS-MOS
herself that this is not necessarily the case.

The model seen today is not the original. The archetype was destroyed two
years prior to the rebuilding of the current KOS-MOS. In an attempt to
seize KOS-MOS by the U-TIC organization, she malfunctioned and began to
kill anything that moved. Eventually her creator's girlfriend and
co-creator, Shion Uzuki, managed to shoot her head to pieces, thus
stopping the massacre. However, it was not before she killed her own
creator, Kevin.

Greetings.

I am a humanoid fighting system, serial number 00-00-00-00-1. Development
name KP-X. Abbreviated name KOS-MOS.

Previously in my exploration of what appears to be a camp, I have stumbled
upon a possible conspiracy.

While investigating the area upon arrival, I immediately set my power to
full power in case of any Gnosis activity in the area. When none came, I
set my power to half and began to explore the area. I looked in what
appeared to be a mess hall's kitchen. The residents of the area did not
seem pleased, however, it is not of my concern.

I spotted a package of hot dog buns. It would appear nothing was out of
the ordinary, but this is not the case. My databanks told me that hot dog
packages come in packs of twelve, while hot dog buns come in packs of
eight.

For what reason, I do not have any data on. When hot dogs and their buns
do not match up, mismatching will occur. It is currently unknown to me why
this mismatching should happen. It will create waste of one or the other.

It will require further investigation. I have reset my priorities
automatically, and have put the current mystery of the hot dog buns in the
eighth slot.

For now, I shall continue to explore the area further. Any dangers or
threats shall be immediately eliminated.

Logging complete. Signing off.

Character: Sohma Momiji
Series: Fruits Basket
Age: 15

Canon: Momiji emanates sunshine, lollipops, and maybe a few
rainbows on first impression. Although such first impressions usually lead
to "What an adorable little kid in... girl's clothing?", Momiji is actually
a fifteen year old boy! He takes full advantage of looking younger than he
is so he can be loud, spontaneous, and do similarily immature things with
lesser consequences. Although he's bursting with happy-go-lucky energy, he
has a thoughtful and empathetic side as well, appreciating things that
others take for granted and crying over other people's pain. Momiji leads a
life that seems untouched by sadness, but appearances can be deceiving. He
is actually one of the cursed Sohma family members who transforms into an
animal (a rabbit in his case) when embracing the opposite sex with is own
angsty past. He's fairly well-liked in the Juunishi circle, even if many are
often exasperated by his cutesy antics, and he adores Tohru, the one
outsider he's allowed to hug!

Papa's finally let me come to summer camp, wai~! See, see, I wanted to come
re~ally badly because I've never been before and some of the other Juunishi
got to go! I worked really hard with school and practiced my violin lots and
lots, and Papa said I could come if I practiced my violin! I'll get to make
boxes out of popsicle sticks and go canoeing and tell scary stories around
the campfire with marsh-mal-lows~! and ... kyaaa~ this is going to be
so much fun! X3 Momiji's Wonderful Summer Camp Adventure has begun!
E~hehe~

There's also a murder mystery game here too! I've been reading lots of Conan
and Kindaichi so I'm really good at solving mysteries now! Like in one case,
I picked the killer right away because the killer is always the one who's
smallest in the group picture, einsehen? Ah! and I'll need a catch phrase
for when I solve the case like "The killer is always the smallest one!" or
"In the name of Scooby, this case has been locked!". I bet if I solved the
case Toh~ru would be so proud, I'd get a H-U-G~!

Ah! I just thought of a song for camp!

Kamp Flucht du Die!
Kamp Flucht du Die!
Foxes come out of their hidey-holes
And play with their friends the little, blind moles!
We'll sing and play with zombies and -

I just saw someone running past the window and then a whole bunch of other
people were chasing him! Ach so! I bet they're playing "Capture the Thief!",
but the cops are running too slow! I'll go play too and show them how it
should really be played! Ah! I'll bring the paintball gun they gave me too!
This is going to be so much fun!

Canon: Momiji is one of the thirteen members of the Sohma family's Jyuunishi, people cursed to change into an animal of the Chinese Zodiac when hugged by a person of the opposite sex. Momiji is the rabbit of the zodiac, and is just as cute and cuddly as any bunny. Like nearly every other character in Fruits Basket, Momiji has a Tragic Angsty Past™; however, instead of dwelling on it and allowing himself to become a bitter emo bunny, he resolves to remain positive, and does it well. Momiji is the epitome of youthful exuberance: cheerful, bubbly, and full of energy. He is always the center of attention, whether anyone else wants him to be or not -- in fact, the only thing louder than his mouth is his wardrobe. He is incredibly perceptive of other people's feelings and motivations, often teasing Kyo about his feelings for Tohru and getting hit in return. Though he is fifteen, he looks and acts much younger (and uses his youth and cuteness to shamelessly manipulate Tohru into sharing a bed with him. Momiji is big pimpin').

A random note: Momiji is half-German, half-Japanese, and often interjects random German phrases into his conversations. (Also: The song is a reference to a little tune he makes up during their onsen trip.)

Guten Tag, Louisiana! I'm Sohma Momiji, a normal Japanese boy~! I'm not a ninja and I don't collect monsters and I don't pilot any giant anime robots, but I hope we can still be friends!!

You should all be thankful that you get to come to a place like this! After all, it's a real American summer camp! And look, look, a real American swamp!! And look, a real American zombie, just like in the movies!! (I knew they were real!) It's all so exciting and authentic!! I will title this trip, "Momiji's Amazing American Summer Camp Adventure"!! I thought that summer camp was only in the summer, though. Oh, oh, I know! Does this mean that summer lasts all year long here? This really is the happiest place on Earth!

I can't believe so many people don't like it here! I've heard nothing but complaints and warnings since I came!

"Don't go near the lake, Momiji!"

"Don't accept milkshakes from strangers, Momiji!"

"There's no such thing as Candy Mountain, Momiji!"

You're all booooriiiing~! But don't worry, I'll show you how to have fun again very soon! I even wrote a sequel to my song, just for camp! Sing along, everyone!!

Sunset on the camp
Come out, come out, Momiji.
Gorillas and tentacles,
Say hello~

Oh -- I almost forgot! I've come looking for my family! AYA, KISA, HIRO, YUKI, HARU~! Where are youuuu~? Did you miss me? You've been gone for so long, and I know you've all been having a great time, but that's no reason not to send a postcard! So heartless~!! Oh, and there are so many great cards in the camp store!! See how happy that tentacle is? He's waving at that camper and everything! Hey, here's another good one! Look, look, this one has the name of the camp right on it! Well, the middle two words, anyway! Maybe they couldn't fit the rest?

You know what? I'm going to buy them all and write home! Maybe then everyone else will come too~~~~~!
