Character: Fluttershy
Series: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Character Age: Pony
Canon: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a television series adaptation of the titular line of toys, centering on Twilight Sparkle and her group of pony compatriots as they explore various aspects of friendship. The four-legged friends live in the wondrous, magical, and often inconsistent land of Equestria. It is a place where nature is nurtured, weather means manual labor, and the generally intelligent wildlife apparently need a caring hoof to keep on going.
This hoof belongs to the pegasus pony Fluttershy, just about the most timid, shy and soft spoken being Ponyville has to offer. Thematically representing kindness, her caring and well mannered outlook shines through... when she’s not scared out of her wits. She’s very easily startled, often beyond the point of functionality, so oftentimes even the most irrational things will intimidate her, her own shadow included. Despite this, she has an uncanny knack for communicating with and looking after wild animals. They also tend to provide an opening for her confidence to take hold, even with the great terrible ones (as long as it’s not a big scary full-grown dragon). Still, Fluttershy can overcome any of her self-imposed obstacles should the desperate need arise, facing up to the most demonic of foes if her friends are in danger. She can do anything she puts her mind to... so long as she doesn’t actually think about it.
Sample:
Um, excuse me? Hello, m-my name is F-fluttershy, and I’m here to... well, actually I was sort of asked by a toucan to talk to you all. So I guess I’m going to be giving you a presentation, although now that I think about it, they didn’t actually tell me what to talk about. That’s rather strange, really. So, I’m really not quite sure what to say. Oh dear, I uhm, this is so embarrassing, I’m just going to go now... No, wait, come on Fluttershy, you can do this.
I’m sorry, I just get a teensy bit nervous around strangers. Oh, I hope I’m not being too loud for you, I mean, I do that sometimes. It’s not generally a good thing, especially when you work with wild animals as much as I do. They tend to be so timid, you know. Oh, wait, I should probably talk about that. I mean, no offense at all but, the animals around here don’t exactly look very healthy. Most of them are forced to walk on their hind legs, and some of them can’t even do that. I don’t really know what happened around here, but it really doesn’t look very good. Not good at all. No, I mean, it’s probably not your fault, maybe they’ve just migrated here or something. Maybe they could just be birds? Very, uh, sick birds. I can’t really tell for sure anyway.
But, uhm, just in case, you should probably know how to take care of them. Now one of the most important things is to make sure they are comfortable wherever possible. This means there’s less chance of them getting frightened and running away. Or, well, maybe shambling away. Flying? They don’t look like they have wings... Anyway, try using pillows and singing lullabies, that generally works. Oh, and with larger creatures like these, be sure they don’t get angry or defensive, or they may bite and scratch. Although with these, maybe holding them down is a better way, they seem to be... bitey. And don’t be too afraid of using a soft but firm tone with them if they try to cause trouble - after all, it’s kind of pointless if they just fight amongst themselves anyway. Remember, kindness and compassion is really the best way to go about caretaking, even with... big decaying bird things?
Ok, I think that’s it. Good job Fluttershy, now let’s hope you can do so well with a real crowd instead of this mirror.

Character: Kurashita Tsukimi
Series: Princess Jellyfish
Character Age: 18
Canon: Princess Jellyfish centers around an apartment building where the only tenants are six women and where no men are allowed. All tenants are hopeless geeks with specific obsessions, from Three Kingdoms history, to trains, to traditional Japanese dolls. All six are also terrified of social interaction and attractive people, who they call Stylish. Yet they have a good time together and call themselves the Sisterhood. To complicate matters, their apartment building and cherished home is under threat of being demolished due to redevelopment. Into this mix comes a rich son of a politician, who is determined to help them save their building. The catch? The rich son is a crossdresser and none of the geeky girls know that he's a man. Well, no one but Tsukimi.
Tsukimi is the main heroine and is, as the title would suggest, obsessed with jellyfish. Ever since her mother likened jellyfish tentacles to the ruffles of a beautiful dress, Tsukimi has been mad for jellies. She can spout off facts at the drop of a hat and her room is covered in pictures of jellyfish. However, she freezes up completely in the face of Stylish, beautiful people who know how to dress well, due to her unshakable belief that she's a freak. Tsukimi can easily be rattled by anything strange or new, unless she's in the throes of her jellyfish obsession. She also sometimes addresses her deceased mother during internal monologues.
Sample Post: Mom, I got lucky that I managed to hide in the corn before anybody saw me. I almost walked right into a huge group of Stylish! Why are there so many around? And so many different types, too. I saw Hero Stylish, Gorilla Stylish, Princess Stylish, and Robot Stylish and I only just got here. How do I find out where the huge lion's main jellyfish is being kept? This pamphlet is a little vague on directions...but I-I can do it! The largest jellyfish speciman of the largest known jellyfish in the world is here! I must see it! I won't wimp out and run away! But I can't ask any Stylish for directions, so who do I ask?
Wait, there's a group of zombie geeks cosplaying over there. I'll be able to fit right in and also get directions to the lion's mane jelly...h-hello. Um, I mean, eeeeeRRRRrrrroh? OooooooooyaaaAAaroooooow where the, um, eeelllllllyrisheeeeeez? Uuuughbraaaaaaaaaainsuuugggh? Am I limping enough? If I limp harder, can you tell me where the world's largest Cyanea capillata is....er, eeeeeeyaaarhEEEEaaa caaarpullARGHa? Oh, it's right over there? Thank you! Happy brain-eating...
What?! That- that is NOT a jellyfish! How could anyone mistake it for one?! There's no tank and even the littlest child knows that jellyfish can't breathe air! And while jellyfish do have slender balletic tentacles, they are far less arm-like than that creature at the top of that tower! A jelly could never reach down from such a height and grab a zombie geek like that, or throw one! And the umbrella and sumbrella of the head are clearly not gelatinous at all! Whatever it is, it's far closer to an octopus than a jellyfish and jellyfish are far more graceful and beautiful than any cephalopod mollusc could ever HOPE to be-!
Wait, that zombie geek fell apart when she hit the ground and there's no blood. Does that mean...they're real zombies?! Maybe I fainted when I almost ran into those Stylish and I'm dreaming? That's it, I have to be dreaming. I'll wake up soon and I'll go out shopping with the Sisterhood for our weekly hot-pot meal...except I just felt the air swish by as the definitely-not-a-jelly tried to grab me and those zombie parts look awfully real.
Mom, I don't think I'm in Real Life anymore!

Character: Nova
Series: StarCraft 2
Character Age: 19
Canon: In the galaxy of StarCraft, humanity started as a misguided convoy of convicts that crash-landed on a habitable planet. Thousands of years later, Terrans now dominate a number of planets and fight off not one, but two alien empires that don't think we deserve to live (the Zerg would like us infested, the Protoss want us incinerated in purifying flame before that happens).
And we still manage to hold civil war. We've definitely come a long way.
Nova is a Ghost: a girl who, from the luck of the draw, was gifted with psychic abilities. Unlike most psychic babies, however, Nova managed to dodge the mandatory drafting, did some traumatizing stuff with her mind, then signed up later, of her own volition, to atone for her past. Nova is the youngest Ghost to graduate sane and the first one to graduate under the new standards (hint: it involves killing people).
She's long forgotten left behind her old life, and is a loyal government assassin to the core. Nova is cool and professional, with a host of espionage, marksmanship and psychic skills at her fingertips. Yet she isn't all cold: she can quip a one-liner when she sees an opportunity, and can be pleasant to get along with when you're in the field and have earned your stars.
Sample Post:
Nova here.
I've terminated he target, but it keeps getting up from the floor. Is it a new Zerg mutation? I recorded data off the rifle camera, but I suppose some witty narration wouldn't hurt.
As you can see, one shot in the back of the head, classic textbook. What isn't is the flinch, the stagger, and the keep-on-walking-itis. Maybe it's a freak accident where I actually missed, so here's the double-tap, with the same effect.
Well, if good old bullets won't work, let's go with the psychic. I tried reaching out to it, but it was like...nothing was there. Just a void, as though he didn't exist on the psychic map. I mean he's physically there, but when I close my eyes and scan the area, all I get are toucans.
This is where I get a little unprofessional, but it's all in the name of data, really. Watch me pepper every vital organ, every joint, even where his twigs and berries are supposed to be. All we get is a pretty funny dance and, if I'm not mistaken, a look of vague annoyance. It's not looking so good.
Time for the personal touch. I cloak and go for the double stab. The need for stealth is almost laughably unnecessary, but I'm a professional: I don't take stupid risks. Knife to the back of the head, right between the two bullet holes, and a clean drag down to his neck. And just to be thorough, a second stab to his heart, rip across his spine, take out his lung. There's almost no resistance when I stab him, not like real human bodies, and there's this...goo all over, not like blood. I've bottled up my knife for the science team to look at, because it's nothing like I've ever seen before.
And of course, he's still standing. He's blinking and looking a little confused at the new holes I've ripped into him, but unlike most living things, he's still upright. I'm a little glad I cloaked now, because he's also a little too lively for someone who has rended vitals: the blind grab was easy to dodge, but a little too close for comfort.
Okay, no more Miss Nice Ghost. We're supposed to be quiet, but this is ticking me off. Here I am going for the brute kill, the neck snap that spells the end of every vertebrate we know.
Except this one's head pops off like a Cristal cork, and when it hits the ground it keeps on gnashing.
I didn't run, but I definitely did perform a tactical retreat. The whole body is still thrashing a little, and I don't want to get this stuff all over my combat suit if I don't have to.
It's a little unnerving to see something react like that. It's definitely nothing I've ever seen before, and I'm taking this back to intel before I start trying anything more unorthodox. But if I had the tools, I'd go with total incineration to terminate the target: I bet this baby would burn pretty well.
Unfortunately, they don't teach us pyrokinesis at the Academy. They tell us that they don't want us to be flashy, but I bet it's because we've already got enough weapons.

Character: Rock Light / Megaman
Series: Megaman
Character Age: Looks about 10.
Canon: In the year 200X, the famous scientist Dr. Light built a pair of robots to help him around the lab and keep his house clean. But when a threat arose, young Rock decided that saving the world was way more important than getting the cheeto stains off Dr. Light's keyboard, and asked his creator to modify him for battle. Light agreed, and Rock's been saving the world over and over again ever since. (Well, except for in those spinoff games where he's playing soccer and racing go-karts instead.)
Rock (known as Megaman when he gears up for battle) is a cheerful half-pint who just wants everyone to get along. He hates fighting and he'd be perfectly happy to just be a "normal" kid. However, when fighting's the only way out, he jumps in with gusto -- and enough courage and fighting skill to make almost anyone forget that he's a kid. He's spirited, optimistic, and completely devoted to fighting for everlasting peace, even if he doesn't like being in the hot seat. He may look ten, but under that childish innocence, there's enough maturity to know that when it's gotta be done, it's gotta be done.
Sample Post: This should be fun, right everyone? It's been a while since I found enough people for a game of soccer! It's okay if you don't know the rules, I don't mind teaching you. You just have to promise we'll make it up later if I have to run out in the middle of this one and stop another robot rebellion or something. I think that's fair, don't you?
It looks like you guys already have teams figured out, so now we need a goalie on each side. We don't exactly have real goals set up, but we can just improvise...I'll set something up over here for one of them, and the red team can just try to kick the ball at Marcy's silo. It's big, but she's got a lot of arms, so it all evens out, I guess. And you can be the other goalie, mister -- since goalies are the only ones who can use their hands, I guess we'd better pick somebody who still has both of them.
That's the big rule, though -- no hands! It'll be easy for most of you guys, right? And it's not a big deal since you can use everything else. Mostly everyone kicks the ball to move it around, but you can bounce it off your chest, or block it with your head, or almost anything, really, as long as you don't touch it with your hands. You want to try and get the ball into the other team's goal, and their goalie will try to catch it before it goes in. We don't have to worry too much about positions, I guess, but it's good if you kind of have an idea of who's going to cover what part of the field and everything.
Okay, so Marcy will be the captain of the blue team, and I'll be the captain of the red team. If nobody's got any other questions, I guess that means we can get started, but if you guys want to do a few practice shots first, I think that'd be a good warm-up? Some of you look kinda lifeless today. So, you first! I'll roll the ball over, you take a mighty kick at the goal, and he'll try to stop it! One, two, three, here it comes --
Oh, no! Are you okay, mister? I know I said you can use your head to block, but I didn't think it was going to fall off!

Character Name: Louise Belcher
Series: Bob's Burgers
Age: Eight or Nine
Canon: Bob's Burgers is a show about a man named Bob and his struggles to make it with his small family-run burger joint.
Louise is the youngest of his three children. Though cheerful, smart for her age, and quite charismatic, always easily able to talk people into helping with any schemes she might come up with, she also has a dark sense of humor, lies all the time for fun, and is quick to advocate violence as the solution to any problem. She'll even provide the weapons for you! She'll jump straight onto any bandwagon that she thinks will amuse her even if it makes things harder for people she cares about (for instance, spending an entire episode shouting "Murderer!" at her dad every time she sees him because a pro-vegetarianism documentary was being filmed outside). She also likes to be in a leadership position and tends to play ringleader to all the other kids in her neighborhood, starting with her older brother and sister.
Sample Post:
You guys call yourself zombies? Geeze! My mom and dad make better zombies than you before they get their coffee in the morning.
I don't believe you any of you could bite through my earlobe, let alone gnaw through my skull to the delicious juicy brains inside. Especially not Toothless McGee over there. Seriously, Gummy--Can I call you Gummy? Moan and groan for yes.--Seriously, Gummy, just because God kind of screwed you over with the whole 'toothless zombie' thing it doesn't mean you've gotta run around mouthing the air and hoping some brains will magically fly into your mouth.
That goes for all the rest of you too! If biting at people isn't working out for you do you just keep doing it anyway? No! You guys were human once, and what is it that separates humans from all the animals except for some types of monkeys and really smart ants? Not opposable thumbs, tools!
And it just so happens that I know a thing or two about how to butcher your meat. Guys, let me introduce you to a little beauty that I like to call Mr. Meat Cleaver. You get a good swing going with this baby and it won't matter how many of your teeth have rotted out of their sockets. Once you've got that down we'll head for the Mess Hall and see if we can find Miss Meat Grinder to go with him, she'll make the whole chewing thing easier for you. That one's just for you, Gummy; I like you, kid, you've got spunk.
Now, you guys get comfortable with that and I've got to work on a letter. I promised I'd write home as soon as I get here, and if it's not in tonight's mail my mom's gonna freak. Parents, am I right?
Dear Dad and Mom,
This is the best camp ever. I've already made some new friends, and we're gonna teach this place what it really means to fear zombies. Have you guys
Hey! Hey, don't you raise that cleaver on me, Gummy! I'm giving you one warning here, you don't know who you're dealing with. Put it down, or--
--Alas, poor Gummy. I hardly even got a chance to know you.
Sorry for all the gore on the paper! One of my new friends tried to turn on me and I had to put him down. Zombies, am I right?
Good thing this place gives everybody shotguns! Best camp ever.

We don't exactly have real goals set up, but we can just improvise...I'll set something up over here for one of them, and the red team can just try to kick the ball at Marcy's silo. It's big, but she's got a lot of arms, so it all evens out, I guess. And you can be the other goalie, mister -- since goalies are the only ones who can use their hands, I guess we'd better pick somebody who still has both of them.
That's the big rule, though -- no hands! It'll be easy for most of you guys, right? And it's not a big deal since you can use everything else. Mostly everyone kicks the ball to move it around, but you can bounce it off your chest, or block it with your head, or almost anything, really, as long as you don't touch it with your hands. You want to try and get the ball into the other team's goal, and their goalie will try to catch it before it goes in. We don't have to worry too much about positions, I guess, but it's good if you kind of have an idea of who's going to cover what part of the field and everything.
Okay, so Marcy will be the captain of the blue team, and I'll be the captain of the red team. If nobody's got any other questions, I guess that means we can get started, but if you guys want to do a few practice shots first, I think that'd be a good warm-up? Some of you look kinda lifeless today. So, you first! I'll roll the ball over, you take a mighty kick at the goal, and he'll try to stop it! One, two, three, here it comes --
Oh, no! Are you okay, mister? I know I said you can use your head to block, but I didn't think it was going to fall off!

Character Name: Louise Belcher
Series: Bob's Burgers
Age: Eight or Nine
Canon: Bob's Burgers is a show about a man named Bob and his struggles to make it with his small family-run burger joint.
Louise is the youngest of his three children. Though cheerful, smart for her age, and quite charismatic, always easily able to talk people into helping with any schemes she might come up with, she also has a dark sense of humor, lies all the time for fun, and is quick to advocate violence as the solution to any problem. She'll even provide the weapons for you! She'll jump straight onto any bandwagon that she thinks will amuse her even if it makes things harder for people she cares about (for instance, spending an entire episode shouting "Murderer!" at her dad every time she sees him because a pro-vegetarianism documentary was being filmed outside). She also likes to be in a leadership position and tends to play ringleader to all the other kids in her neighborhood, starting with her older brother and sister.

You guys call yourself zombies? Geeze! My mom and dad make better zombies than you before they get their coffee in the morning.
I don't believe you any of you could bite through my earlobe, let alone gnaw through my skull to the delicious juicy brains inside. Especially not Toothless McGee over there. Seriously, Gummy--Can I call you Gummy? Moan and groan for yes.--Seriously, Gummy, just because God kind of screwed you over with the whole 'toothless zombie' thing it doesn't mean you've gotta run around mouthing the air and hoping some brains will magically fly into your mouth.
That goes for all the rest of you too! If biting at people isn't working out for you do you just keep doing it anyway? No! You guys were human once, and what is it that separates humans from all the animals except for some types of monkeys and really smart ants? Not opposable thumbs, tools!
And it just so happens that I know a thing or two about how to butcher your meat. Guys, let me introduce you to a little beauty that I like to call Mr. Meat Cleaver. You get a good swing going with this baby and it won't matter how many of your teeth have rotted out of their sockets. Once you've got that down we'll head for the Mess Hall and see if we can find Miss Meat Grinder to go with him, she'll make the whole chewing thing easier for you. That one's just for you, Gummy; I like you, kid, you've got spunk.
Now, you guys get comfortable with that and I've got to work on a letter. I promised I'd write home as soon as I get here, and if it's not in tonight's mail my mom's gonna freak. Parents, am I right?
Dear Dad and Mom,
This is the best camp ever. I've already made some new friends, and we're gonna teach this place what it really means to fear zombies. Have you guys
Hey! Hey, don't you raise that cleaver on me, Gummy! I'm giving you one warning here, you don't know who you're dealing with. Put it down, or--
--Alas, poor Gummy. I hardly even got a chance to know you.
Sorry for all the gore on the paper! One of my new friends tried to turn on me and I had to put him down. Zombies, am I right?
Good thing this place gives everybody shotguns! Best camp ever.
