Character: Sagara Sousuke
Series: Fullmetal Panic
Age: 17
Canon: Take a hardcore military soldier (read: otaku), throw away
all non-military knowledge and behaviour recognised as 'appropriate' for
civilians, and you get Sousuke. Having spent his childhood fighting
terrorism with guerilla warfare in Afghanistan and the rest of his life in a
military force known as Mithril, Sousuke is a stoic, reserved,
follow-the-rulebook teenager who has no idea of how to handle a normal
civilian lifestyle (accordingly obeyed a "Do not trespass" sign by helpfully
setting up landmines near the area) and has no care for the frivolous or
silly. He speaks with military lingo and addresses anyone with higher
authority as "Sir" or "Ma'am".
Sample Post:
0500 Hours, arrived at Camp Fuck You Die. Surveyed terrain disguised as a
fern on a willow tree. No problems. Lost group I had arrived with. Solo
advancement.
0710 Hours, found a lake. Washed face in it; attacked by large tentacle.
Fired a grenade launcher. Noise attracted footsteps. Retreat.
Hid with the goat herd for more surveillance till 1232 Hours. Difficult
parley. Had to engage in negotiation tactics with entire set of standard
military distributed socks.
1600 Hours, feet itched. Removed boots. Terrain free of enemy sightings.
Advancement.
1602 Hours, engaged in battle. M10 .45 submachine gun proved more efficient
than the camp-issued semi-automatic shotgun. Enemy did not know the meaning
of retreat; won with mininum losses.
1630 Hours, set up camp beside cabins. Observed campers. Found no abnormal
activities.
1900 Hours, returned to lake. Threw several US-issued M67 fragmentation
grenades in for safety precautions. Fishing.
1940 Hours, at base. Had fire-shooting duck with rationed crackers. More
observation.
2300 Hours, set land mines round base. At ease.
Chidori, you had requested a full detail of my first day at camp - this
should be sufficient. I fail to understand, this civilian camp you had me
enlist in is no different from those in Afghanistan or Cambodia. My
conclusion was confirmed when some streaking occurred near my base. To
honour my promise not to leave however, I will stay here until the enemy has
been annihilated.
The refrigerator in the school's girl locker room I disposed of with
explosives should have been repaired by now. Beware of any more unauthorized
spinach. There have been incidents where terrorists fit microscopic
timebombs within food packages.
As Tokiwa had also requested for items from the native terrain, I have
attached a sample of the local duck meat to this letter. No problems; it has
been preserved to last till 1940 Hours, June 23.

Character: Iono Mito Arushurain
Series: Iono the Fanatics (Dynasty is scanlating it, but there's nothing much else out there)
Age: Not given in canon, but very likely 21 or younger (Apper has spoken with the mods on this issue)
Canon: Iono Mito Arushurain is the queen of a small country, somewhere to the west of Japan. She's made it her hobby to go and collect supporters, which she calls her sobame! She travelled to Japan with the purpose of finding a black haired sobame, but it wouldn't be wacky without confusion: Sobame can be defined as 1. A woman who closely supports a nobleperson and 2. Concubine. Iono is looking for supporters, but she's very happy to find girls who fit the other description too! ♥ Some of her current sobame don't always like that and try to stop her, but generally, once Iono has gotten serious, she doesn't give in and they'll relent.
Iono is a queen, all said, and she speaks in a fairly formal manner (the often used "Why" at the start of sentences is part of her speech pattern), but she can be terribly silly and girlish too, particularly when it comes to the private side of her life. When she's not being queenly, she isn't terribly concerned with personal space, and when it comes to gathering new sobame, there are no limits! Although, she still tries to be polite about things and will let them go if they give sufficient substantiation. She doesn't really get angry, and she is always delighted about surprises, big and small. She also likes to cruise for chicks. Go Iono-sama!
Sample Post:
Why thank you, my dear Director, for your kind invitation~! Aah, America! Why, I'm sure that they won't find me here, at least not for a little while! Louisiana, correct? Ooh, this sounds so exciting~! Why, I heard a song about America once! And the Southern girls with the way they talk, they knock me out when I'm down there~ ♪ Perhaps the songwriter wished they all could be California girls, but I'm certain that the Southern belles here will not disappoint~! ♥
That said, I don't suppose there are any California girls here, are there? Why, I wouldn't say no to that. Or midwestern farmers' daughters, or East Coast girls, or Northern girls. I'm very equal opportunity, you see! I'm just looking for a few wonderful sobame! Perhaps 50 or so? I probably should keep the number to a managable level! Why, it's can be so very difficult to be a Queen and attend to each of your sobame, but I try so hard at it! ♥ Fairy tales are so very delightful at night, don't you think?
So, where's the best location to go cruising? I had heard wonderful things about this Camp Fuck You Die, and while being in America is all very exciting, I haven't seen many pretty girls yet! Nnnnn! My heart races just thinking about it all! Why, sadly, all I've seen are poor girls with green hair, and purple fur! I do not wish to shame them by saying so, but it is so heartwrenching to see them all, and unfortunately they're not really my type! The ones with green hair are so, so - oh it's terrible! I can feel their lonely souls, but I'm afraid I can't take them back with me. Why, it's so disappointing, they're all so terribly affectionate, despite only having three legs, one arm and fifteen fingers between them!
So, if you have no suggestions, my dear Director, for the locations of the lovely ladies? Why, I might have to take you as sobame instead! I'm sure you'll find my methods of persuasion agreeable. ♥ I'm sure that I can help you overcome your stumbling block and move you beyond your dead fiance, don't you think? Why, we could paint the camp red, my darling, and change the name from Camp Fuck You Die to the far more becoming Camp Fuck You Love ♥! Yes, with the heart! Why, I daresay that it makes the name, you know!

Character: Andrew Wells
Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Age: 20 (based on assumption, season 7)
Canon: Andrew Wells was always 'Tucker's brother', and hey, who'd like to live in the shadow of a sibling who sicced hell hounds on the prom? All Andrew did was conjure a bunch of flying monkies to attack the school play - hardly a blip on the damn radar, especially for a town that sits on the mouth of hell and attracts all kinds of occulty-badness. That's partly why, a few years later, Andrew joined up with Warren and Jonathan to form a trio of supervillains who would thwart that pesky Slayer and take over Sunnydale. It meant power, respect, and general awesomeness. What more could Andrew want? But things went too far - the trio collapsed, Warren was killed, and Jonathan and Andrew did what all supervillains should - flee to Mexico.
They came back, though. The First Evil (a big bad) manipulated Andrew (by taking the shape of Warren) into killing Jonathan. It didn't take much, after that, for Andrew to want redemption. He switched to the good team (much to the Slayer and her friends' reluctance) and fought with them when the world started ending. The world, obviously, didn't end, and the rest is history.
Andrew likes to tell stories. He exagerates, he drama queens, he whines. He's also a big geek - Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Marvel comics, DC comics, almost anything that touches scifi and fantasy - and that shapes a lot of who he is. By the end of the series, he's matured a little and understands more - but he's still a geek, and probably always will be.

My but the undead reach all corners of the cosmos, don't they?
Never fear, fellow campers. What you need is someone to tackle the dark forces that plague you day and night. You need someone who has battled with the worst and fought alongside the best. You need someone who knows no fear, who runs on courage and pure adrenaline. You need someone who lives and breathes the battle of the undead. You need--
Oh... oh my GOD was that Superboy?! That was totally Superboy! By Odin's raven I need to get his autograph! He lives here?! This place is so awesome!
Um.
Besides the zombies.
But like I said, that's totally taken care of now, little ones. Oh no, no need to rush to thank me. I come from Sunnydale. That's right, the Oris Elleborus itself. The Hellmouth. Zombies would be the least of your worries in that neck of the woods. I've seen things I'm sure many of you would not ever care to see, or indeed, imagine. It takes a special kind of mind to live these horrors everyday.
You see, dear campers, I, myself, was once a supervillain, and I understand Evil. But through my redemption I became Good, and indeed, noble, a respected member of how band of warriors. My compadres were a rare and select group, lead by none other than the Slayer, Buffy Summers. Ah, Buffy. If she were here now, why, she would say, 'Andrew? Oh, he's the bravest, most fearless warrior I have ever had the opportunity to--'
Oh, she's here too? Uh. Um. Cool.

Character: Auel Neider
Series: Gundam SEED Destiny
Age: Never explicitly stated in canon - assumed to be around 16
Canon: (minor spoilers ahead) Auel is a brash, reckless
pilot for the Earth Alliance. He is part of a special military group
called "Phantom Pain", along with Sting Oakley and Stellar Loussier. The
three of them are 'extended' naturals--they were born naturally, but
severely conditioned mentally and physically to carry out their duties
as soldiers. They are commanded by Neo Lorrnoke, who puts them in
strange sleeping chambers that cause them to forget what just
happened--for instance, if one of them died, the other two would be
conditioned to completely forget about him/her, presumably so it
wouldn't lower their efficiency in battle.
Each of them have a "block word", which is designed to completely halt
whatever they were previously doing; speaking the word causes them to
have a sort of large-scale panic attack. Auel's block word is 'mother',
and in one episode of GSD he says it himself accidentally, triggering a
self-induced panic, in which he falls to the floor in tears. Despite
that fact, he doesn't seem to have a problem with using the others'
block words, as he uses Stellar's pretty casually early on in the series
(causing her to lose it, of course). He doesn't get a lot of character
development in the series, but what we do see is a kid who's merciless
(though perhaps not completely heartless), cocky, and moderately
insane.
Sample Post:
"Camp Fuck You Die", eh? Pssh, what a dump.
What? How did I get here? Uh, well...how the hell should I know? From
the looks of the place, I somehow doubt anyone came here because they
just felt like it, so my guess would be that someone
abandoned me here. Not sure, though--for some reason I've never had much
of a long-term memory...
Oh, and I'm Auel, by the way. Make any bird jokes and I'll shoot you in
the face. Done it before!
Speaking of, some dude randomly gave me a gun awhile ago. The one
perk so far! Though it's not like I didn't have one on me already. But
now I have two! Awesome.
Hmm, what else? Oh yeah, a little while ago I was chilling by a tree,
and like...a piece of paper fell down next to me. So I picked it up and
unfolded it, and guess what it was? Porn! Oh yeah, you heard me!
But don't get too excited, because it was squirrel porn. Now
there's a mental image I could have gone without. Needless to
say, I burned that shit. I dunno if there are squirrels that draw porn,
or if squirrel-porn just grows on trees--either way, it's pretty fucked up.
Did I mention there are like, zombies and shit here? Yeah. What the
fuck? Is this hell? 'Cause I've only been here for like an hour
and I'm already suspecting that it is. It's not like I'm worried about
them or anything, since, you know, two guns and all, but damn.
And since we're already talking about zombies, I wonder if there are any
ZAFTies here? (Ahaha, you see what I did there? I slay me.) Man,
I hope so, 'cause I haven't bitch-slapped someone in at least a
couple days now (again, short-term memory, here). I bet they'd shit a
solid-gold brick if they knew I was here!
...What do you mean, they wouldn't? Do you know who I am? Phantom
Pain, bitch, that ringing any bells?
...What do you mean no?!
Whatever, things are gonna change around here, starting right now!

Character: Rinko Jerad
Series: The Law of Ueki
Age: 15
Canon: In the Law of Ueki, middle schoolers are given odd powers (such as turning beads into bombs) to battle in a tournament to determine the next God.
In the past, Rinko was used because of her wealthy background and had no real friends. She developed a crush on Robert when he recruited her into Robert's Ten - a group formed to help him in the tournament - and told her she was the person he trusted most. However, she was unable to ignore the Ten's cruel methods and switched to Ueki's side, but hopes to change Robert for the better.
Rinko is generally a nice, polite girl and an extreme animal lover (as an example, she lets herself be chased around by giant cats intent on eating her and even protects them from her opponent). She is very loyal to her teammates and will protect them at all costs.
Sample Post:
I think there must be some mistake. I'm sure the tournament isn't supposed to be held at a camp... I haven't seen God's Assistant anywhere - surely he would tell us if it was time for the next round. He'd need to say what the rules are. Or at least tell me why I suddenly have a shotgun. I don't even know how to use it! I can't just leave it lying around though; someone might get hurt.
Ah, I'm sorry, I was so distracted I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Rinko Jerad, and I hope we'll get along. I need to ask, have you seen my friends? A girl with blue hair and pink glasses? She's usually with a boy with green hair. Or maybe you've seen a boy with a towel wrapped around his head or a boy that looks like a monkey? If you could tell me where to find any of them, I'd appreciate it!
Hm? Kitties! ♥ Zombie kitties...? Oh, but you're all so cute! Where did you come from? Oh, no, something's bitten your ear off completely! Does it hurt? ... Maybe not, but let me look at it. What's that in your mouth? Ah! Y-you shouldn't bite pieces off yourself, little kitty! I'm sure it's bad for you! Even if it didn't look like it was painful. What if you get sick? You do look a bit unhealthy, and your friends too. Ahh!! You just fell apart! Are you okay?! I'll help you find yourself! Hey, put down that leg, your friend needs it. No, don't chew on it either! That- it isn't nice to do that! Wait, don't run away! Give those back!

Character: Sena Kobayakawa
Series: Eyeshield 21
Age: 15
Canon: Sena is a weak, shy, timid, submissive,
pansy of a boy. It takes little to intimidate him, freak
him out, or frighten him. Because of this, he has spent his
life being stepped on, ordered about by others, and running
all sorts of errands for bullies. Even those who care about
him (i.e. Mamori/Mamori-neesan) inadvertantly push him
around by being overprotective. Still, Sena's heart is in
the right place. He hates to let his friends down and will
stand up for them, no matter how afraid he is (though he
sometimes needs a little bit of time to summon up the
courage first).
However! There is another side to Sena. Granted with a gift
of INSANE speed and agility, Sena is Eyeshield 21, the star
player of Deimon High's American football team, the Devil
Bats. To keep him a secret, he wears a helmet with a dark
green eyeshield that hides his face (hence the name), and
only a few members of his team know the truth. Due to
another posing as Eyeshield 21 on occasion, Sena's secret
identity is supposedly a complete badass which could
be no further from the truth of sweet and skiddish
Sena.
Sample Post:
When Hiruma said the whole team was being sent off to
football camp for training, I tried to tell him that
I had a big math test that I just couldn't miss and
that it was really important to my grade, but then
he gave me that look and as punishment for
protesting, I now have to find my way to camp on my own! I
don't know why I'm still here. I should have turned around
and tried to find my way back home ages ago. But
he's probably waiting for me there. ...I just hope
he wasn't serious when he said, "What doesn't kill you
makes stronger." I mean, it was probably just a joke.
Hahaha! Yeah, that's right! I bet this is all a big joke
and the team is waiting for me just around these trees. Oh,
what a bunch of jok-- ...what was that
sound?
I b-bet it was just a rabbit. Just a cute little rabbit.
There are lots of animals in the woods. There's that
sound again! I-I-It's just the ambient sounds of
nature. It's very... natural. They don't make all those
nature sounds CDs for nothing, after all.
WHAT WAS THAT?!
Okay, okay. I can handle this. I'm just going to think of
this as more practice. Running practice. Running away from
unseen-things-in-the-dark practice...
...No! I need to pull myself together. Eyeshield 21
wouldn't be scared of these woods. Eyeshield 21 would run
circles around anything that could be in here! Like... like
that bush! Hah ha! Take that bush! Aren't so big and bushy
now are we, bush? Oh, so you thought you could outrun me,
eh bush? I bet you couldn't even outrun that purple gori-!
...!
Can't run a-anymore! Have seen unspeakable
t-t-terror. Everywhere. IT'S EVERYWHERE!! Chest
is... burning-! I'm-I'm-I'm going to die here, in these
woods. Someday, someone will find my bones and say, "There!
Those are the legendary leg bones of Eyeshield 21! The man
with the golden legs! Let's see if some football nut will
buy them!" Oh! Mamori-neesan! I'm sorry that I couldn't
become a better man...!
W-wait. What's that? Are... those campers?! They're walking
kind of funny. Maybe they're... dancing? I bet someone sent
them to look for me, and they're dancing because they're so
happy that they found me! Hey! HEY! I'm over here!!
You can stop dancing now! ...Excuse me? What did you just
say? You want some graaaaaaainssss...? Oh, my mistake. You
meant "braaaaaaainssss"...

I really am going to die here.

that fact, he doesn't seem to have a problem with using the others'
block words, as he uses Stellar's pretty casually early on in the series
(causing her to lose it, of course). He doesn't get a lot of character
development in the series, but what we do see is a kid who's merciless
(though perhaps not completely heartless), cocky, and moderately
insane.

"Camp Fuck You Die", eh? Pssh, what a dump.
What? How did I get here? Uh, well...how the hell should I know? From
the looks of the place, I somehow doubt anyone came here because they
just felt like it, so my guess would be that someone
abandoned me here. Not sure, though--for some reason I've never had much
of a long-term memory...
Oh, and I'm Auel, by the way. Make any bird jokes and I'll shoot you in
the face. Done it before!
Speaking of, some dude randomly gave me a gun awhile ago. The one
perk so far! Though it's not like I didn't have one on me already. But
now I have two! Awesome.
Hmm, what else? Oh yeah, a little while ago I was chilling by a tree,
and like...a piece of paper fell down next to me. So I picked it up and
unfolded it, and guess what it was? Porn! Oh yeah, you heard me!
But don't get too excited, because it was squirrel porn. Now
there's a mental image I could have gone without. Needless to
say, I burned that shit. I dunno if there are squirrels that draw porn,
or if squirrel-porn just grows on trees--either way, it's pretty fucked up.
Did I mention there are like, zombies and shit here? Yeah. What the
fuck? Is this hell? 'Cause I've only been here for like an hour
and I'm already suspecting that it is. It's not like I'm worried about
them or anything, since, you know, two guns and all, but damn.
And since we're already talking about zombies, I wonder if there are any
ZAFTies here? (Ahaha, you see what I did there? I slay me.) Man,
I hope so, 'cause I haven't bitch-slapped someone in at least a
couple days now (again, short-term memory, here). I bet they'd shit a
solid-gold brick if they knew I was here!
...What do you mean, they wouldn't? Do you know who I am? Phantom
Pain, bitch, that ringing any bells?
...What do you mean no?!
Whatever, things are gonna change around here, starting right now!
'Cause I'm Auel Neider, and I'm one bad ass motherfucke--

Character: Rinko Jerad
Series: The Law of Ueki
Age: 15
Canon: In the Law of Ueki, middle schoolers are given odd powers (such as turning beads into bombs) to battle in a tournament to determine the next God.
In the past, Rinko was used because of her wealthy background and had no real friends. She developed a crush on Robert when he recruited her into Robert's Ten - a group formed to help him in the tournament - and told her she was the person he trusted most. However, she was unable to ignore the Ten's cruel methods and switched to Ueki's side, but hopes to change Robert for the better.
Rinko is generally a nice, polite girl and an extreme animal lover (as an example, she lets herself be chased around by giant cats intent on eating her and even protects them from her opponent). She is very loyal to her teammates and will protect them at all costs.
Sample Post:
I think there must be some mistake. I'm sure the tournament isn't supposed to be held at a camp... I haven't seen God's Assistant anywhere - surely he would tell us if it was time for the next round. He'd need to say what the rules are. Or at least tell me why I suddenly have a shotgun. I don't even know how to use it! I can't just leave it lying around though; someone might get hurt.
Ah, I'm sorry, I was so distracted I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Rinko Jerad, and I hope we'll get along. I need to ask, have you seen my friends? A girl with blue hair and pink glasses? She's usually with a boy with green hair. Or maybe you've seen a boy with a towel wrapped around his head or a boy that looks like a monkey? If you could tell me where to find any of them, I'd appreciate it!
Hm? Kitties! ♥ Zombie kitties...? Oh, but you're all so cute! Where did you come from? Oh, no, something's bitten your ear off completely! Does it hurt? ... Maybe not, but let me look at it. What's that in your mouth? Ah! Y-you shouldn't bite pieces off yourself, little kitty! I'm sure it's bad for you! Even if it didn't look like it was painful. What if you get sick? You do look a bit unhealthy, and your friends too. Ahh!! You just fell apart! Are you okay?! I'll help you find yourself! Hey, put down that leg, your friend needs it. No, don't chew on it either! That- it isn't nice to do that! Wait, don't run away! Give those back!

Character: Sena Kobayakawa
Series: Eyeshield 21
Age: 15
Canon: Sena is a weak, shy, timid, submissive,
pansy of a boy. It takes little to intimidate him, freak
him out, or frighten him. Because of this, he has spent his
life being stepped on, ordered about by others, and running
all sorts of errands for bullies. Even those who care about
him (i.e. Mamori/Mamori-neesan) inadvertantly push him
around by being overprotective. Still, Sena's heart is in
the right place. He hates to let his friends down and will
stand up for them, no matter how afraid he is (though he
sometimes needs a little bit of time to summon up the
courage first).
However! There is another side to Sena. Granted with a gift
of INSANE speed and agility, Sena is Eyeshield 21, the star
player of Deimon High's American football team, the Devil
Bats. To keep him a secret, he wears a helmet with a dark
green eyeshield that hides his face (hence the name), and
only a few members of his team know the truth. Due to
another posing as Eyeshield 21 on occasion, Sena's secret
identity is supposedly a complete badass which could
be no further from the truth of sweet and skiddish
Sena.
Sample Post:
When Hiruma said the whole team was being sent off to
football camp for training, I tried to tell him that
I had a big math test that I just couldn't miss and
that it was really important to my grade, but then
he gave me that look and as punishment for
protesting, I now have to find my way to camp on my own! I
don't know why I'm still here. I should have turned around
and tried to find my way back home ages ago. But
he's probably waiting for me there. ...I just hope
he wasn't serious when he said, "What doesn't kill you
makes stronger." I mean, it was probably just a joke.
Hahaha! Yeah, that's right! I bet this is all a big joke
and the team is waiting for me just around these trees. Oh,
what a bunch of jok-- ...what was that
sound?
I b-bet it was just a rabbit. Just a cute little rabbit.
There are lots of animals in the woods. There's that
sound again! I-I-It's just the ambient sounds of
nature. It's very... natural. They don't make all those
nature sounds CDs for nothing, after all.
WHAT WAS THAT?!
Okay, okay. I can handle this. I'm just going to think of
this as more practice. Running practice. Running away from
unseen-things-in-the-dark practice...
...No! I need to pull myself together. Eyeshield 21
wouldn't be scared of these woods. Eyeshield 21 would run
circles around anything that could be in here! Like... like
that bush! Hah ha! Take that bush! Aren't so big and bushy
now are we, bush? Oh, so you thought you could outrun me,
eh bush? I bet you couldn't even outrun that purple gori-!
...!
Can't run a-anymore! Have seen unspeakable
t-t-terror. Everywhere. IT'S EVERYWHERE!! Chest
is... burning-! I'm-I'm-I'm going to die here, in these
woods. Someday, someone will find my bones and say, "There!
Those are the legendary leg bones of Eyeshield 21! The man
with the golden legs! Let's see if some football nut will
buy them!" Oh! Mamori-neesan! I'm sorry that I couldn't
become a better man...!
W-wait. What's that? Are... those campers?! They're walking
kind of funny. Maybe they're... dancing? I bet someone sent
them to look for me, and they're dancing because they're so
happy that they found me! Hey! HEY! I'm over here!!
You can stop dancing now! ...Excuse me? What did you just
say? You want some graaaaaaainssss...? Oh, my mistake. You
meant "braaaaaaainssss"...
...
I really am going to die here.
