Character: Erika Satonaka
Series: Kamen Rider OOO
Character Age: 21
Canon: It was 800 years ago that a group of scientists produced, using the power of animals condensed into medals, a group of homonculi known as Greeed. These Greeed were capable of using human desire to form monsters known as Yummies and wreak havoc upon the population. Fortunately, a king used their powers against them and with a special seal, became OOO; When their medals were placed into his belt, he could transform into an ultimate fighter. He wound up going mad with power and turned on his allies, eventually locking all of the Greeed away in a casket for centuries. But of course the seal was broken and a new man has found himself stuck with the power of OOO. And just who is this new saviour of our world? Why, a world traveller with an obsession for underpants, of course.
He is aided by the mysterious Kougami Foundation, the eccentric, cake-obsessed president of which has spent his life researching OOO and the Greeed. His personal assistant is a young woman named Satonaka Erika. Satonaka is a cold, blunt, and business-oriented person whose main goal is her paycheck. With that said, Satonaka's job has very little to do with much of anything. She gets paid to eat dozens of cakes and carry around monitors so her boss can Skype with his acquaintances without ever having to stop baking. Recently, she and her subordinate Gotou have taken up new positions in the company; So long as she's paid for it, Satonaka really doesn't mind duel-wielding guns and fighting on the field, or even acting as support for her aide.

Hello? Is anybody there? It's a cake delivery.
No answer ... This is a pretty bad joke. I'd like to know how anyone expects me to be able to get this done on time. Farms are one thing, but the lack of organization is unacceptable. That should really be a bigger priority than getting cake into this place, right? You'd think so, but so far, I'm just not convinced. It's a pain to have to explain even this much, but I don't think we can keep cooperating if we don't settle these things out now.
Let's start with the foundation and work our way up through the very basics. If you're trying to run a successful organization, you need to know better than this. It's embarrassing to look at. Ah, but anyway, somebody called from this place and made a request for birthday cake. Since it's supposed to be a surprise, I guess won't name any names, but I don't think I have to. We took in more than? three dozen calls total from this location. I hope you're hungry.
Even if you aren't, there's nothing I can do about it. Calling in to talk to your customer service representatives didn't do anything. Ah, and speaking of which, you're going to need to do something about that entire department. The email I received with directions was horrible. It went on and on about following some Boulevard of Broken Dreams, but when that ended, all it said was to go down the street and not to cross the road. Considering that these were the driving instructions I was sent? I'd say you have a big problem.
So there's that. If you'd bother to communicate a little more, none of this would have happened. I wouldn't be here with the bill either, so let's just move on to that. Aside from the regular price, there's the charge for delivering so far out of the way. This is a pretty long detour to go through. Well, I don't actually mind that part. For a job like this, I'm paid by the company for travel too, and for being out of our jurisdiction, it's time and a half. Otherwise, you wouldn't be getting anything tonight. But so long as I'm on the subject of payment, you're going to be receiving an additional charge for everything I've had to endure. Do you know how unpleasant it is to fight off a horde zombies in new heels?
That's all for now. If I think of anything else to add, I'll fax your director.
... No, I didn't forget or steal your forty cakes. They're coming later. If you still think it's a lie, just wait. The delivery man works for me.

Character: Karina Lyle ("Blue Rose")
Series: Tiger & Bunny
Character Age: 16
Canon: Would you love to see the exciting adventures of your favourite superheroes on TV, all the time? Then Sternbild City might be just for you. With a cast of eight individuals gifted with powers called "NEXT", Hero TV is all about broadcasting heroes' deeds. Like every good reality show, it even has a ranking system that rewards them points for every criminal caught or person saved, and at the end of the season whoever ranks the highest wins the title of "King of Heroes". Fighting crime and earning points is hardly all the heroes have to focus on, however. As they are pretty much superstars, there's quite a lot of work to do on the side! Interviews, photo shoots, concerts- you name it. And hey, it's a big business and there's sponsors involved, so what's giving up a bit of your life in order to please them? It's to be expected.
Karina is one of the youngest heroes of the show, and she goes by the name "Blue Rose". Her powers allow her to manipulate ice, but while she can be a capable hero, her role leans more towards that of an Idol. And it's no surprise, really, considering that she herself agreed to become a hero only in order to realize her true dream: to become a singer. Like every teenager, Karina struggles to adjust between who she really is, and who people expect her to be. Somewhat stubborn and definitely emotional, she sometimes lets her feelings get the best of her. While she gets plagued by doubts and may need a push in the right direction from time to time, Karina is ultimately someone who knows what she wants and speaks her mind freely, refusing to take crap from anyone. All in all, she’s an honest kid who can be harsh and somewhat abrasive at times, but in the end, her heart is in the right place.
(Note: Blue Rose's sponsor is "Pepsi NEXT", and she has a catchphrase: "My ice may be a bit COLD but your crime has been put on HOLD!")
Sample Post:
Hold on a minute, is this really the right place? I thought the concert was going to be held in an auditorium, not in a farmland right in the middle of nowhere! The company never mentioned any of this- do the sponsors really want me to sing in this sort of place? If it's singing I can do it anywhere, but still, this... Just take a good look around! There's a giant squid on top of a silo, see? A giant squid! That's really too weird. Honestly! The location isn't even the biggest problem- the audience is! Aren't these the sort of people we'd fight against? They look like a bunch of villains wearing disgusting costumes. And they seem more concerned about human flesh and brains than music and advertisement. I get that we're supposed to bring life back to this place, but isn't that being way too literal?!
I thought this concert was just to spice things up a bit! What kind of slogan is "Pepsi NEXT, so good it will revive the dead" anyway? Really now, nobody is going to buy it if it's associated with zombies. It's so gross- what are the sponsors thinking?! And I'll tell you now, if the audience is really made up of the undead, there better be backup security or there's no way I'm going to go out on the stage! It's not like I can handle all of them on my own, and I'm already risking my life when fighting crime, I don't want to risk it even when I'm performing. What kind of hero dies eaten by a crowd of zombies?! That would definitely be lame. Not to mention way, way too morbid.
Look at them, they're not even cheering. All they keep saying is brains, brains and brains! But I guess I can't really blame them for being so single-minded, this camp is so dull, I bet they all died of boredom. There's pretty much nothing exciting to do here, is there? Jeez, whoever manages this camp is an idiot! They really have no idea what young people like. It looks like they tried so hard with that carnival too, but who would be excited about one with so few attractions? Honestly, it's going to take a miracle to revive this place, not a concert.
Oh, well, at least they had the decency to organize this. Ugh, This is probably these people's once-in-a-lifetime chance at something fun, isn't it? All right- these people give me the creeps, but there's no way I'm going to do this half-heartedly. Miracle or not, I'm going to give this my all. Time to go on stage! Hello everyone, thank you for waiting! Are you ready for something cool? It's time to go NEXT...! One, two three-! My ice may be a bit COLD but your crime has been put on HOLD! Prepare yourself for the best brain freeze of your life!

Character: Luchino B. Campanella
Series: Baccano! 2002
Character Age: 17
Canon: Baccano! is a centuries-spanning tale involving the mafia, alchemy, immortality, and the characters who are all leads in a massive clusterfuck of events that make perfect sense. In 1931 in particular, a group of individuals were involved in a transcontinental train hijacking conducted by a cult, a group of assassins, and a gang of delinquents, and barely made it out with their lives. Fast-forward to the year 2002, when a mysterious force decides to re-enact these events--this time, on two luxury cruise ships crossing the Pacific Ocean. Luchino B. Campanella is a performer on one of these ships, the Exit.
Going by the moniker of "The Rookie Warlock", Luchino is a friendly and polite stage magician who excels in showmanship. However, this is just a cover for his true identity as the cold, professional, and well-respected President of a group of movie-obsessed mercenaries called the "Mask Makers". What he doesn't show his team, however, is the fact that he is still a brash and emotional kid at heart who is cares deeply for his employees and is terrified of killing. Of course, his fear of murder and professional attitude evaporate should the Mask Makers be harmed in any way…
Sample Post:
They weren't kidding when they said it was like Day of the Dead meets The Mist in a cornfield, were they?
Although you do seem to be quite friendly for a zombie, so it would only be proper for me to introduce myself. My name is Luchino B. Campanella, the President of the company you hired, the Mask Makers. It is a pleasure to finally meet you in person. If I remember correctly, you were the one who hired several of our men for an assassination mission, Ms. Aauuuhhhhgggh? My employees never managed to report back to you for a de-briefing session, so I am here to apologize on their behalf and negotiate payment options.
Let me get to the heart of the matter. While my men were quite enthusiastic about a mission to slay what they supposed from the photograph was the Kraken, you, our client, provided our company with neither sufficient warning nor adequate information. I believe thanks are in order for the traumatizing and life-threatening injuries you've caused my employees through your lack of good judgement. It was a mistake to take the Mask Makers for a mere joke, I assure you.
And as for our reimbursement? I'm sure what is about to happen will be more than adequate for the injuries inflicted upon my treasured employees and the humiliation you've caused our name. You'll pay for making them suffer.
Let me show you a simple magic trick. Here in my hand I have a stiletto--as you can see clearly, its name refers to a weapon, not a piece of footwear. Now, I will make this blade vanish right before your eyes! Please don't be shy--the audience is waiting.
It is an honor to have been invited to perform at this most excellent of venues. I promise you, "The Rookie Warlock" will not disappoint. If you would stop struggling, then…

Character: Joshua “Jay” Guthrie | Icarus
Series: Marvel Comcis | New X-Men
Character Age: Eighteen
Canon: The world of X-men! A happy world where mutants and humans get along splendidly and nobody ever fights or has awful things happen to them. Oh wait, yes they do. Mutants are generally tolerated at best, and outright hated/protested against/attacked at worst. For the most part, most mutants try to just live like everyone else, and luckily a school for teaching mutants the proper control of their powers also exists. New X-Men focuses on the lives of some of the younger generations of mutants attending this school, Jay included.
Jay Guthrie grew up in a huge family, with older mutant siblings who had already gone to this school. When his own mutation, huge red wings sprouting from his back, developed, he kept them a secret from his family and only used them as a stage gimmick with his band. In a series of unfortunate events, Jay seems to die, and his girlfriend ends up killing herself so they can be together. Just kidding, he literally can't die thanks to part of his mutation. With a dead girlfriend and a bleak outlook on life, Jay is sent to mutant school! There, he is a bit of a loner; he's friendly if not a little sulky towards his schoolmates, but stays out of the rivalries and bickering that they get into and sometimes just outright walking away when he doesn't agree with them. He does his best to have moved on from his past, but he often has a difficult time keeping his feelings bottled up.
Sample Post:
All right, I've heard enough. This isn't my fight, and I'm not going to start taking sides. If you want to sit here and tear each other apart, then you can count me out. Two monsters, both alike in gruesomeness... well, you know how the story goes. After all, it isn't that I don't understand what's going on-- believe me, I do. Probably more than anyone else here. And since you've both brought big groups for support, or for fighting, or whatever it is you're planning to do, listen up.
I know that it might seem perfectly reasonable thing for all of you to just continue fighting endlessly, but eventually, someone is going to get really hurt. It might not be right now, or this year even, but it'll happen one day. You could be enjoying some brains under the moonlight, and the next thing you know, you'll have it all taken away. No, I mean everything, not just the brains. Your relationship, your happiness, all of it.
I mean, just look at yourselves. The... I'm sorry, daughter? The daughter of that particularly hairy gorilla family, and you, one of the son-- um, do zombies have families, or do you just sort of group together? Nevermind. The point is, you can't continue going on like this. If you two really want to be together, and from the way you're both drooling, it seems that you do, this has to stop. If you would just listen to each other instead of trying to turn this cornfield into a killing field, then... ...Okay, I don't know if chewing off an arm is a sign of affection or if you're just hungry, but I don't want to find out either way. I'd like you to stop looking at my wings the same way you're eyeing up her arm.
Actually, you know what? I'm out of here. If you end up deciding you want to sort this out, give me a holler, but I'm definitely not interested in ending up a snack or in being your mediator again.
Matter of fact, you can quit eyeing up my wings too; it’d be a real shame if you went through the trouble of trying to add me to the menu. I'd just heal up before you go to eat anything, and really, I wouldn't make a very good angel's food cake anyway.

Character: Anya Alstreim
Series: Code Geass
Character Age: 15
Canon: The great Britannian Empire has conquered Japan, it's people sitting smug and cozy while the crushed remains of a country is denoted merely by 'Area 11'. Years later, a masked hero of justice leads terrorists on an angsty struggle against the oppressors: the nobles, the royals, the Emperor and his Knights of the Round. Oh, and there are mechs.
The Knight of Six, the youngest of the Rounds, is not exactly the most passionate girl. Generally appearing to be devoid of interest, Anya tends to view the world through a camera phone, lacking any trust in her own memories. This lack of identity gives her sparse motivation beyond her formidable combat presence. Despite being intelligent and insightful, she shows her age by her lack of common sense. Anya prefers straight-forwardness and brute force over subtlety, in everything from relations to piloting her Knightmare, sometimes both. She normally only speaks in short sentences, or single words. She keeps a blog, in an attempt to maintain who she is and was.

Currently en-route to a remote research facility named ‘Conciliatory Farm of Undercover Development’. Request came through for a Rounds to test new Knightmare frame design. Sounds dull, but they requested me personally. Claimed my ‘experience with big guns would be handy’, called it a ‘wild ride’. Scientists take such pride in their work. Access to communication networks appears to be gone. Time/date systems malfunctioning. I’m suspecting this is to do with my nearing their location.

Farm was literal. Little sign of weapons development, but am currently surrounded by evidence of unnatural modifications. Zombies appear old, dilapidated, unattended. Fortunately passive. Immediate area unimpressive, simple fields and old buildings, with cluster not far off. Edit: Wildlife more interesting, discolored and diverse, as well as talkative. I’m being encouraged to look at goats, declining as none present. The birds can breathe fire, and seem to be fighting over the limited amount of open water. This is an eccentric place.

Central area has more activity, still not resembling combat weapon designers though. It seems that’s why it’s ‘Undercover’. I’ve found the tower holding the prototype. Strange, everything avoids it. It’s large for a combat vehicle, almost organic.

I’m going to have the R&D team executed.

The daughter of that particularly hairy gorilla family, and you, one of the son-- um, do zombies have families, or do you just sort of group together? Nevermind. The point is, you can't continue going on like this. If you two really want to be together, and from the way you're both drooling, it seems that you do, this has to stop. If you would just listen to each other instead of trying to turn this cornfield into a killing field, then... ...Okay, I don't know if chewing off an arm is a sign of affection or if you're just hungry, but I don't want to find out either way. I'd like you to stop looking at my wings the same way you're eyeing up her arm.
Actually, you know what? I'm out of here. If you end up deciding you want to sort this out, give me a holler, but I'm definitely not interested in ending up a snack or in being your mediator again.
Matter of fact, you can quit eyeing up my wings too; it’d be a real shame if you went through the trouble of trying to add me to the menu. I'd just heal up before you go to eat anything, and really, I wouldn't make a very good angel's food cake anyway.

Character: Anya Alstreim
Series: Code Geass
Character Age: 15
Canon: The great Britannian Empire has conquered Japan, it's people sitting smug and cozy while the crushed remains of a country is denoted merely by 'Area 11'. Years later, a masked hero of justice leads terrorists on an angsty struggle against the oppressors: the nobles, the royals, the Emperor and his Knights of the Round. Oh, and there are mechs.
The Knight of Six, the youngest of the Rounds, is not exactly the most passionate girl. Generally appearing to be devoid of interest, Anya tends to view the world through a camera phone, lacking any trust in her own memories. This lack of identity gives her sparse motivation beyond her formidable combat presence. Despite being intelligent and insightful, she shows her age by her lack of common sense. Anya prefers straight-forwardness and brute force over subtlety, in everything from relations to piloting her Knightmare, sometimes both. She normally only speaks in short sentences, or single words. She keeps a blog, in an attempt to maintain who she is and was.

Currently en-route to a remote research facility named ‘Conciliatory Farm of Undercover Development’. Request came through for a Rounds to test new Knightmare frame design. Sounds dull, but they requested me personally. Claimed my ‘experience with big guns would be handy’, called it a ‘wild ride’. Scientists take such pride in their work. Access to communication networks appears to be gone. Time/date systems malfunctioning. I’m suspecting this is to do with my nearing their location.

Farm was literal. Little sign of weapons development, but am currently surrounded by evidence of unnatural modifications. Zombies appear old, dilapidated, unattended. Fortunately passive. Immediate area unimpressive, simple fields and old buildings, with cluster not far off. Edit: Wildlife more interesting, discolored and diverse, as well as talkative. I’m being encouraged to look at goats, declining as none present. The birds can breathe fire, and seem to be fighting over the limited amount of open water. This is an eccentric place.

Central area has more activity, still not resembling combat weapon designers though. It seems that’s why it’s ‘Undercover’. I’ve found the tower holding the prototype. Strange, everything avoids it. It’s large for a combat vehicle, almost organic.

I’m going to have the R&D team executed.
