Character: Tayuya
Series: Naruto
Age: 14

Canon: Tayuya is the only female member and genjutsu/illusion
expert of the Sound Four (formerly known as the Sound Five when one
Kaguya Kimimaro was their leader), who are in turn the elite
bodyguards of Orochimaru, one of the main villains of the series. Her
role in canon can be summed up as such:

See Sasuke angst. See Sasuke get the tar beaten out of him by the
Sound Four. See Sasuke decide he needs power like theirs. See Sasuke
get put in a barrel to gain said power. See everyone fight over the
Barrel o' Sasuke. See Tayuya face off against two ninja, and see
Tayuya get crushed under several trees.

Personality-wise, Tayuya is notable for being the most foul-mouthed
and abrasive character in the series- she'll insult both friend and
foe frequently and with ease. She is described as having a 'doesn't
want to lose attitude', and will take pride in laying the smackdown
with only her flute. While she can devise and implement effective
strategies, Tayuya is perfectly capable of adopting a brutally
straightforward approach at times.

How the fuck did I get here? And where are those three wastes
of space? Last thing I remember was those fucking trees collapsing
around me and now I wake up in... whatever this shithole is. Even the
goddamn Forest of Death didn't have hatchet-carrying rabbits, and no
way is a glowing lake anything near fucking normal!

... okay, at least this place gives you a weapon when you get here. Been
getting some good notes when cracking zombie skulls with my flute, but
that gets it crusted with gunk, and I'm not putting my mouth anywhere
near bits of zombie brain. But hell, after what I've seen of this
place, got to give whatever piece of trash named it 'Camp Fuck You
Die' points for being honest.

That doesn't mean that whenever I find the turd animating all these
goddamn corpses, I won't fucking well kneecap him for
starters. Asshole has to be around here somewhere to be directing
these fucking things. Yeah, you think you're so fucking smart- you've
got to run out of these shitty corpses pretending to be my 'groupies'
sometime, you fucking hear me!

Hey, are those tracks-

Awright, looks like beef for lunch, and even better, something
alive for me to kill. Heh, I-

...

...

... what maniac makes a goddamn artificial cow?!

Character: Angel Dumott Schunard
Series: From the Broadway musical and now-movie RENT. (The link is, sadly, the script for the stage production ONLY. The movie is a bit different, but has the same characterization and pretty much the same story just no orgy scene.)
Age: 20 (yes, this is possible canonically)

Canon: December 24, 1989. New York City. Angel is a drag queen and a street drummer whose run-in with a man named Collins quickly makes him a member of "the Alphabet City avant-garde," a group of very Bohemian friends who celebrate life and inspiration. Angel and Collins quickly become lovers, and are in fact the most (read: only) stable relationship in the musical, until Angel dies of AIDS.

Angel is a friendly, loving person, to an amazing degree: his friends say that he helped them believe in love, and that the only way his death won't be in vain is if they all stay together and love one another. He is always cheerful and playful despite his body "providing a comfortable home for the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome," and he treats his friends and his lover as something precious. And he treats strangers like he'd treat any friend. His "catch phrase," kind of, from the musical, is "today for you, tomorrow for me," which shows his policy of giving what he has to help others, because when he does good things, he trusts good things will happen to him later.

I'm pulling Angel from after his death, so he knows he's dead and will just face this like he does everything else: with acceptance and optimism. He's also AIDS free, having died of it once already, and a really horrible disease not being such a fun idea for camp... which is good, since he doesn't have any pills on him. He hasn't realized it yet, though.

And yes, Angel "was a Boy Scout once, and a Brownie 'til some brat got scared." ♥

You know, I've always been very lucky. Maybe a lot of people wouldn't say that, but I do. I've done what I love, made music, made friends, fallen in love, had great sex, never compromised and even died at home with my lover instead of in a sterile hospital somewhere. Being alive again is really very lucky, and more than I'd ever really hoped for, even if that one boy was sweet enough to explain Tibetan Buddhism to me. I don't think reincarnation could really explain it, anyway. I think that's more about being reborn as something else, not popping into being as your old self in the middle of the woods somewhere.

I'm not going to worry about it. I'm alive, after all. And... we did always say we'd get out of the city. And it's very nice here! Much quieter, and so colorful. Green trees, red and yellow flowers... purple gorillas... hmmm. I've always loved Central Park, and this place is even better. There aren't as many muggers and litter.

The thing is, it's easy to find things in a city. Not so much here. Both the Boy Scouts' and the Girl Scouts' motto is Be Prepared--I should know!--but I really don't have much of anything on me I didn't have when I died, and that's pretty much the clothes on my back. They aren't even very nice clothes.

Though for some reason, I do have drum sticks. They're not mine, mine were never neon pink like that garish sign outside of the Cat Scratch Club! They look like they might even glow in the dark. But they're drum sticks, and I can use them. I may even, eventually, be able to make a dress they don't clash horribly with, but that may just be wishful thinking.

But first, I need to--oh, hi! I'm Angel. I'm a little lost, could you...? Oh, honey, you look terrible, are you okay? You're a little green... a lot green, actually, and your skin... Honey, I think we need to get you to a doctor. Where's the nearest--

Hey, stop it! Don't touch me--!

...Okay, anyone else, who's not gonna grab at me like that? Could you point me to the nearest place to wash up? I really need to do something with these clothes, they're all covered in... stuff. I just hit some guy in the head these my drum sticks, and he kind of... exploded. I'll also need the nearest hospital or clinic, and I'd really like to use a phone, I think. I'll be sure to pay you back somehow!

Character: Ukyo Kuonji
Series: Ranma 1/2
Age: 17

Canon: One of Ranma's many fiancee's, Ukyo has possibly the highest priority and the longest friendship with Ranma (in her mind at least), having known him for 10 years, and having an engagement equally long. Compared to the other girls after him, she could be called the most normal, least hot-tempered of them all, and possibly the 'safest' choice (This however, is not a hard battle to win). After a misunderstanding with Ranma as a kid (involving the theft of her wedding dowry- the family okonomiyaki cart), she decided to live her life as a guy until she got revenge on him. Then he called her cute. Now she wants to marry him again.

She's a friendly girl, and somewhat outgoing. She's not one to ignore a friend in distress (although most of the solutions she finds for Ranma involve him marrying her and them living together happily ever after). But other than the fact that she's a martial artist okonomiyaki chef engaged to a guy along with two other girls living on her own, she's perfectly normal right?

Side note: Ryouga was in camp, but for those who don't know, he has a horrible sense of direction

Dear Journal,

Today so far could've gone a lot better. I got on the bus to go to the Martial Arts Business Seminar, and I happened to fall asleep on the bus. When I woke up, I was laying on the ground in this weird camp place. I guess I got on the wrong bus, but I don't know, but I guess it's that dumbass Ryouga's fault, he probably rubbed off on me! I'd be back to my Ran-chan in Nerima, except that there's some sorta force field keeping me in here! Nothing I threw at it seemed to do a thing, even the tempura flakes mixed with gunpowder!

The place is apparently called Camp Fuck U Die, it seems like one of those theme camps. They handed me a shotgun and told me I'd need it to fight off the zombies. Zombies? Really. I mean, I could believe ghosts, demons, spirits, and even bandits. But zombies? They'll have to get up real early to pull a fast one on ol' Ucchan. They're so convincing though, the actors smell really bad, and I think one of them's arm fell off when I put my hand on his shoulder. They really put a lot of thought into it!

Too much thought. I have to beat them off with my spatula now, they don't seem to want to leave me alone. I've tried giving them okonomiyaki, since I'm sure they'd be hungry since they're actors in the middle of a forest, but they kept going on about brains. They threw my food to the ground! Nobody wastes food like that around me, so I 'brained' him. Feel kinda bad now though.

I wonder what Ran-chan is up to? This place would be so much more bearable with him by my side, heck, we could start a new life here! I can see it now, the Okonomiyaki Ucchan food cart traveling through this camp, we wouldn't make much, but we'd be happy together.

Sigh. That's all for today, I have to chase off those toucans, they keep attacking my bags of flour.

Character: Sohma Ritsu
Series: Fruits Basket - http://www.fruits-basket.com/
Age: 20/21 - http://www1.fruits-basket.com:80/characters/fb_ritsu.htm

Canon: Ritsu is terribly shy and apologizes for everything. He's one of the cursed Sohmas, and turns into a monkey when hugged by a female. He feels like a complete failure since, unlike the rest of the Zodiac, he has nothing to boast about. He's easily excited and very energetic, and dresses in women's clothing to calm himself down. Then he apologizes for that, too.

[The rper should note that she's only read the English translations, so if there's more to him she is sadly unaware.]

I'M SORRY!

Shigure-niisan, whatever I did to make you angry and send me to this terrible place of strange people - I didn't mean it! I'm sorry! I was a bother, right? I was embarrassing, right? That's why I'm at Camp Fuck You Die - that's what you want me to do, right? You want me to f... wait.

What was that noise? I can hear it moving around my cabin. Ayame-niisa-

NOOOOO GO AWAY HELP HELP NIISAAAAAN!

I'm such a horrible person you have sent me here to be eaten by zombies. I know
now. I am not fit to walk upon this earth or eat in your house or talk with you, so I am doomed to die in this place. It is a fitting punishment for one so shameful as I to -

I'm sorry for pushing you away like that, Mr. Zombie! Or Ms. Zombie? NOOO I have offended you and now you are - what? AAAUGH stop please stop stop-

I had to give it my second-best kimono before it left me in peace. Shigure-niisan, did you know that the zombies here liked women's clothing? I'm sorry! This is a plot to stop me from wearing kimonos, right? I promise, I'll dress as a man more if only you'll let me come baaaaack!

Character: Tsukino Usagi/Sailormoon
Series: Sailormoon
Age: 16

Canon: Tsukino Usagi is far from being the sharpest knife in the drawer. Constantly getting failing grades, always late for school, skipping study groups to go to the arcade, her flaws are numerous. Usagi is extremely naive, innocent, and too trusting, as she tends not to know what is going on and trusts anybody and everybody. But you could never ask for a better friend. This girl is the definition of pure. She wields the strongest weapon in the series in the ginzuishou. She would do anything (including readily giving up her life) to protect her friends from harm. If the villain can be saved,then she will do anything to save them as well.

Note: I'm taking this Usagi from the last season, Sailor Stars, so she's at her most powerful

Ahaha, I think I took the wrong bus...this isn't Hikawa Jinja. There's a sign tacked to that tree over there saying summer camp, but why would I be at summer camp? I didn't sign up for summer camp...I fall asleep for 5 minutes on the bus and suddenly I'm in the middle of nowhere, with a shotgun tied into my hair. Whoever did that, THAT'S DANGEROUS! I could've shot myself!

When is the next bus? Oh! There's a crowd of zombie cosplayers, maybe they know the bus schedule around here, or they're the welcoming committee do I get cookies?. I had better go ask them for cookies directions...What's that?! A GORILLA! There's a Gorilla running free in Tokyo?? What is it doing that that person's eye socket?? Unforgivable!

MOON ETERNAL! MAAAAAKKKKEEEE UP!

Those who would ruin a summer camp's welcoming party, even a purple gorilla! I won't forgive you! ESPECIALLY for cheating me out of free food! Even if that kindly gentlemen is missing an eye gives you no right to put that in there! You're looking for love in all the wrong places! For love and justice! A sailor suited beautiful warrior! SAILORMOON! In the name of the moon, I will punish-----KYAA!

Okay, note to self, do NOT attract the attention of the wildlife in this zoo. Who knew gorillas could run that fast? That gorilla had things other than bananas on its mind. I escaped up this rather odd... tree that seems to have grown rather attached to me as it has wrapped several branches around delicate places.

Ahahaha, stop it, that tickles! Only Mamo-chan touches me there! Mamo-chan? Luna? Everyone? Someone? Please help me out of this tree! The birds are starting to chew in my hair! ;_;

Character: Violet Beauregarde
Series: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005 movie edition)
Age: 10

Canon: Violet is one four naughty children (plus Charlie, the "nice" child) who won a tour of Willy Wonka's world famous chocolate factory and a lifetime supply of chocolate by finding a golden ticket in one of his chocolate bars. She's incredibly competitive, having won 263 trophies in all sorts of activities as well as holding the world record for chewing a piece of gum the longest. Her competitive streak comes from her mother, who vicariously lives through her by pushing her to win at everything. During the factory tour she grabs a piece of experimental gum and starts to chew it against Wonka's orders, and it turns her into a human blueberry. She's taken off to be juiced, and at the end of the movie she's back to her own size but blue, and, judging from how flexible she's become, boneless. Unlike the other naughty families, Violet is perfectly happy with what's been done to her, while her mother doesn't seem to have learned any new parenting skills and is instead just disgusted that her daughter's blue instead of being her perfect little trophy winner.

So this is Camp Phukudai, huh? I don't know why Mother sent me here for spring break. I should be out winning trophies, not sitting around in some swamp. Just a couple weeks ago I found out about this Atlanta's Little Gymnasts competition they're holding this week that I'd be a shoo-in for. How many other gymnasts are there who're flexible enough to wrap their legs around their chests? Not that I even need a trick like that to win!

Mother's been so strange ever since we got back from Wonka's factory. Like she thinks what color I am has anything to do with being a competitor! But she'll see. This doesn't change anything. In fact, it just makes me better!

Even if it's just a stupid normal camp, you've gotta have some competitions around here, right? Scavenger hunts, races, things like that? I want in on them. Hey, looks like you've all even got some sort of zombie costume contest going on right now. Normally I stick to gum and sports, but I'll give it a shot. Don't take me lightly just because I'm the new girl. I'm a winner, and that means all of you are gonna be losers.

So, until I can figure out where you're all getting your makeup and props, I'll just mess up my hair, rub some mud on myself, and... brrrraaaAAAAIIIIiiiiinnnnssss.
