Character: Zell Dincht
Series: FFVIII.
Canon: Zell's a cheerful, mildly (some would
say extremely) hyperactive martial artist, formerly a
war orphan - his ‘Ma’ is his adopted mother. Despite
no actual ties of blood, he takes real pride in 'his'
grandfather having been a military man and joined a
mercenary organization in an attempt to emulate him.
He’s extremely athletic and loves hot dogs to an
uncomfortably Freudian degree. Has a short temper and
tends to punch things. A lot. Has a nasty habit
of sticking his foot in his mouth. He’s loyal and
trustworthy, just - not always bright. LIKES TO TALK
IN CAPS SOMETIMES.
FIRST DAY OF CAMP(NOTES TO SELF):
1) Punching zombies = bad idea. Doesn’t seem to bother
them and now there’s stuff on my hands not even steel
wool and prayer will entirely get out. Sick.
2) Beating zombies with shotgun = also doesn’t work,
even though it saves ammo.
3) You can go your entire life without seeing a single
ninja, and then suddenly they’re all over the damn
place! Weird.
4) Apparently (and unlike most places), you
don’t always wake up in camp the same gender as what
you went to sleep as. (Checked: still male. This is
good.)
5) If the food moves, don’t eat it.
6) Wildlife = ‘hostile’ would be a step up.
7) LAKE = BAD. Not going anywhere near there again if
I can help it.
8) Holding a shotgun in front of your stomach when you
shoot, movie hero style = ALSO BAD. Got the wind and
almost my lunch knocked out of me from the kickback.
Still trying to breathe. Should’ve watched Irvine more
closely, guns aren’t my thing.
9) GFs either don’t work, or they work and don’t do
shit. Summoned Tonberry, and all he’s been doing is
poking zombies with his knife all morning. Probably my
fault - should’ve wondered what instant death attacks
could really do to zombies aside from NOTHING. If
zombies can laugh, they’re probably doing that.
10) No edible hot dogs. Hate this camp.

Canon: If bricks were angst, Fujimiya Aya, ne Ran,

violet-eyed Japanese boy - until, in a series of
tragic accidents, his parents were killed in a house

wielding a deadly katana feared by helicopter pilots
the world over. He shares this occupation with three
other young men with similarly angsty pasts, including
CFUD's own Tsukiyono Omi, and the four of them work in
a flower shop during the day.
Early morning - successfully fended off at least half
dozen fangirls on way to morning meal. Annoying. As
compounded annoyance, no lollipops at breakfast.
Considered killing meal preparation specialists, but

Dear Oneechan,
How are you? Is everybody at school well?
Did you ever pass How were the
make-up exams? (The second ones, I mean.) I hope you
weren't too busy working to study for them. You
seemed so tired and stressed when I left that I'm a
little worried about you, so please take care of
yourself.
Before you ask, yes, I remembered to take my pills
both days of the trip. See, you don't always
have to remind me. I'll be fine.
(There really was nothing to worry about, you know--if
anything anyone ever tried to hurt
me, I'm sure Akira-kun would have protected me! (Just
kidding.) But if you think I'll be "safer" at summer
camp than school, I don't mind. I'll do my best to
have fun and make lots of new friends.)
love, Takumi
Dear Oneechan,
I've arrived at camp! It isn't very organized, but I
think I'll be able to find my way around. Oh, one of
the campers said something about there being a Murder
Mystery here! I'm looking forward to playing.
(Maybe I can be the victim!)
By the way, did you know this camp offers firearms
training? They even gave me a shotgun as soon as I
got here! (I thought Americans only did that in the
movies.) The gun came with a funny-looking instruction
manual that I can't make sense of. I think I'm

Character: Izumi Shion

Canon: Izumi had died and went to heav--Gantz. There he killed many an alien and gained 100 points; thus being released from Gantz and rejoining the world with memories of such erased. The sad thing is however, his time in Gantz turned him into a sadistic, slaughter craving asshole. So much so that with a little prodding from a magic eightball, he began sadistic mass homicide plans to go back to Gantz so he could kill aliens again. But when he's NOT killing aliens, he's a good student, top athelete, and all the girls love him. Just a nice normal upstanding youth! Who enjoys murder in secret.
Also has a panda named HoiHoi that follows him around and hugs onto him. He does not maim this panda. This panda is likely his secret lover his only friend.
[private]
When I got my head blown off, I thought I'd be sent back to Gantz. This isn't Gantz. This is better than Gantz. Unlimited zombie hordes to slaughter without the least bit of consquences. Not as responsive as I would like, but they'll do until I can find some more...interesting prey. Speaking of which, I see little Jouchirou has grown up to be rather different from how I remember him. I wonder if he remembers me. I'd like to think I make a very unforgettable impression.
[/private]
I had never expected to awake one day to find myself in America, much less at a summer camp in America. Its troubling to realize the world doesn't alaways make sense. Moreso when you arrive at aforementioned camp to find yourself surrounded by zombies who are--lets be quite frank--unreasonable. There is no talking to zombies. There's only one language that zombies understand.
If anyone was wondering, this would be why I have zombie guts splattering every inch of my clothing. I'd appreciate if one of the lovely ladies of the camp would be so helpful as to reccomend a good local brand of detergent. I'm quite capable of doing the cleaning myself, but I can't say I know much about the American brands which are likely available. Any help would be appreciated. Killing zombies seems to be a bit difficult and I'll do my best to exterminate them from the camp. I appreciate offers to help, but I'd prefer to do so alone--its not a pleasant sight.
Is anyone willing to do some petsitting for me while I do my part for camp? It's hard to shoot when a panda is possibly humping attached to your leg. He's harmless, he just wants someone to hug. This would also be a good time to ask if there's anything here suitable for him to eat.

Character: Syaoran Li/Li Syaoran
Series: Card Captor Sakura
Canon: Syaoran is a master of the martial arts and of some level of
magical elemental Power, which he controls with ofuda and his sword. His
quest in CCS is to capture the Clow Cards, or at least aid Sakura Kinomoto,
the heroine, a helping hand in doing so. Towards the beginning of the
series he's extremely blunt and rude, although caring enough to save
Sakura's life and wellbeing. However, he slowly falls in love with Sakura
and as he does so, he discovers a softer, gentler side of himself.
I made a mistake thinking there was a Clow Card at this camp. At least, I'm
at the point where I desperately hope so.
Came upon some of those zombies that everyone's always screeching about.
(Okay, I admit it, I was seeking them out. Animated corpses scream 'magical
problem' to me.) Tried a lightning spell to subdue the Card controlling
them. Found out a Card wasn't controlling them after all, and the lightning
only made them do some kind of weird jiggy dance before they took to chasing
me through the woods.
Dunno how long I spent running. I do know I ended up in the lake, cause one
moment I was running and the next I was falling face-first into water.
Spent the next ten minutes attempting to not get eaten by a crocodile.
Discovered that my ofuda ink is not waterproof when I found it all over my
new white shirt.
Am now v. wet and v. tired. Can't complain to Mother because she did warn
me about being near water today. Going to bed. If anyone tries to disturb
me, they will lose fingers.

Character: Lina Inverse
Series: Slayers, all seasons (http://www.inverse.org/ This is the best Slayers website. Ever.)
Canon: Okay, we're gonna make this short and sweet. Give her food, give her shiny things, and don't comment on the bust-line, ladies and gentlemen.
So, I woke up this morning. After the screams I heard last night, I figure this is probably quite a feat. Not only did I wake up - I found that all of my limbs were in place and I had no new scars.
Ah, the joy.
Breakfast went well enough. Only had to hurt a few people, and as the gigaslave was out of the question - stupid liability agreements about area-effecting spells - I jabbed them a few times with my fork. They got the message and did not reach across my plate for the salt again. They should have asked; then I’d get to tell them that ALL SALT is MINE. Instead, I had to draw blood. Not like I mind, or anything.
Wonder if those zombie-things were happy. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen those people since breakfast.
Took a detour to the arts and crafts building today. At least, I think it was the arts and crafts building. Couldn’t really tell. It did smell of mothballs…But hey - if I say it was the arts and crafts building, dammit, it was!
Someone mentioned a murder earlier today. Pah, murderers. If they aren’t mazoku overlords, they aren’t even worth my time. Although I would like to wring some necks the old-fashioned way. “The old-fashioned way” being pretending to faint and making the nearest muscled guy do it.
In other news, I was pretty sure I heard the word ‘small’ uttered today. It may have been ‘smell’ or ‘smog’…but either way, the idiot is now hogtied and safely secured in the woods. Of course, on second thought, ‘safely’ may not be the term of choice.
…Teach them to mention me and my bustline.
…Or the scents of the camp…
…Or the general state of the environment…
Whatever they said, they’ve learned a lesson.
If they’re still alive in the morning, I may go out and release them and allow them to swear undying allegiance to the great Lina Inverse. I haven’t decided whether or not I should allow them this honour quite yet.
So, anyway, I heard a rumor about cookies. I must investigate, before those other greedy buggers around camp- HEY! THOSE'RE MINE!
EDIT: Have now vanquished all opponents and am enjoying several boxes of mint chocolate chip. Oh, joy.

Character: Nina Tucker
Series: Fullmetal Alchemist
Canon: Nina is the daughter of a mad scientist- well, mad
alchemist. Lovable, concerned about other people, an avid crayon-artist, and
an all-around sweet little girl, Nina spends her portion of FMA being
unbearably cute to both Ed and Al, bestowing them with the nicknames 'Big
brother Al' and 'Small brother Ed'. She has a giant muff of a dog named
Alexander, who also enjoys jumping on Ed at every opportunity. She's a
reasonably intelligent child, and one of the few children in the anime world
to not speak in third-person.
Despite her overwhelming ability to be adorable, Nina came to a grisly end
when she was fused with her dog and promptly splattered all over the wall of
an alley. Ouch.
...Are you my daddy?
Nope, that's not daddy either. None of these things look like anybody I
know, except some things that looked kinda like what's in the garbage can
behind daddy's lab. They were falling apart and going "Braaaaains", and...
it was scary! I was scared! (what was that thing, anyway? If it's okay, i'm
gonna call it a... brainman) Then Alexander barked at them and...
...and, um, that didn't do anything, so me n' Alexander ran as FAST as we
could in the other direction, and that worked WHOLE lot better. The
aminals animals here aren't anything like Alexander, or any of the
ones in daddy's science-room back home (Um, but I did see one that looked
sorta like an octa octi squid, but when I saw it it was only
for a little bit, and anyway there were lots of trees in the way, so I don't
really know if it was or not).
But the things here are really strange! Even if there weren't lots of
brainmans, there was still a creepy scary man who looked sort of like the
brainman. He came up to me and asked if I wanted candy (he said 'braaains,
want some candy, little girl?), and when I went over to GET the candy, he
didn't even have any. He just started trying to chew on my head.
Alexander chased him off, though, so i'm okay! Even if my hair has
glowing gloop all in it.
And... this
has been following me ever since I woke up, and now it's starting to make
strange noises. It sounds sort of like 'Abeeeehbeh, Abeeeehbeh', and then it
sorta bites at me and makes a noise sort of like a- an- one of those things
that makes lots of clicky noises. It hasn't tried to chew on my head like
the other thing did, though, so i'm not as scared of it.
Oh, hey, Alexander, I think I see houses!
...Alexander?

Character: Rei Ayanami
Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Canon: Rei Ayanami is someone who just takes life day by day.
She is a very quiet/soft-spoken and anti-social character who only talks
if she has to. Whenever she does speak, it is usually short and to the
point. She rarely shows any emotion other than indifference. It's really
not that she doesn't have emotions. She just doesn’t know what they are or
what she should be feeling in a given situation. However she is capable of
learning about emotions, which does occur as the series progresses.
She has no close friends nor does she desire any. Nevertheless, she is very
reliable and her obedience to her superiors is extreme, especially to
Commander Gendo Ikari whom she sees as a father figure and is devoted to.
If she is ordered to do something, she will take on the job without
hesitation or complaint and will complete it even at the expense of her own
life. In general, she has a very low sense of self worth (but practically
no self-pity) and does not care if she lives or dies.
There are several major spoilers involving Rei’s canon and explaining them
would be lengthy. Most readers are probably aware of what I’m implying.
But for those who don’t, they’re mentioned in the wiki article.
Camp Fuckudie.
The name does not sound very pleasant.
But no matter what its name may be, it appears that this is to be my
residence for an uncertain period of time.
I am not quite sure as to how I got here in the first place. Commander
Ikari prefers to know my location at all times and it is impossible for
something like this to occur without his knowledge or authorization. The
last event I can recall is my activation test with Unit-00. If past
experiences are an indication, I assume it was not successful and I was
knocked out in the process. I have no recollection of being transported
anywhere so I have no reason to explain how I woke up in the middle of a
forest with a significant headache and still wearing my plugsuit. So I will
assume that he has sent me here for some purpose that will be revealed to me
at a later time.
For now I am doing what I can to familiarize myself with this place and
already I have been given an assignment to do while I am here. After
receiving a shotgun, I was told to help uncover the truth behind the murder
of the Camp Director’s fiancée.
[private] From what I can tell, the Director seems very passionate about
what has happened to her partner to the point where she has no regard for
those who are of no use to her. In a way…she is very much like the
Commander.[/private]
I’m sure that once her objectives are reached, it would mean a better
existence for everyone.
Along with trying to locate and secure the murderer, I am to stay alive as
long as possible (unless told to die) and defend myself from the wildlife as
well as the assorted diseases that are being spread around camp. All while
keeping a record of my progress and camp experiences on this computer. It’s
a different type of mission compared to my usual orders. No one has ever
told me to write about things like experiences and thoughts before…
Speaking of thoughts…I am missing a pair of cracked bifocals. They are of
value to me and I am currently thinking about how much I would like to have
them back in my possession.

Character: Kalas
Series: Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
Canon: Personality-wise, Kalas is a self-serving kind of guy. He's in it pretty much for himself and himself alone, and doesn't want to get involved with other people or their problems. Since he's also an orphan, he's not the best at socializing. But hey, that's okay, because he's also got a sense of justice, after you convince him to help out. And don't worry if he says something to you and sounds a lot meaner than he should - he's always that gruff.
Other things about Baten Kaitos: Magnus are magical cards in which all sorts of things are stored - food, weapons, you name it. Players can also take pictures with a camera magnus of monsters to sell for cold hard cashy. Lastly, Kalas has a guardian spirit who only he can hear and talk to most of the time (although other magically gifted characters might be able to as well).
Hey! Anyone know where a really, really hungry guy can get a decent bite to eat around here? No? Nothing?
Well, good thing I thought ahead and brought a few extra magnus with me……or not. Bananas, overripe…orange, spoiled…milk, curdled…apple, rotten…sick, I don't even want to know what that's supposed to be.
This is all your fault! It was your idea, not mine, to haul butt over here! Yea, well, I only went along with it because you're just that good at persuading me. Don't rub it in!
Ok, couldn't get a good shot of the sea serpent, and...wait, I swear that wasn't in the picture when I first took it. And I don't even know what to think about this one.
That's it! You know what, I don't even care any more. No, don't try to change my mind! I'm not movin' from this spot until you come up with something better to do around this dump. Nothin' doin'!
Wait, you hear that? Sounds big, and it's headed right this way! Screw what I just said, I'm outta here!

Discovered that my ofuda ink is not waterproof when I found it all over my
new white shirt.
Am now v. wet and v. tired. Can't complain to Mother because she did warn
me about being near water today. Going to bed. If anyone tries to disturb
me, they will lose fingers.

Character: Lina Inverse
Series: Slayers, all seasons (http://www.inverse.org/ This is the best Slayers website. Ever.)
Canon: Okay, we're gonna make this short and sweet. Give her food, give her shiny things, and don't comment on the bust-line, ladies and gentlemen.
So, I woke up this morning. After the screams I heard last night, I figure this is probably quite a feat. Not only did I wake up - I found that all of my limbs were in place and I had no new scars.
Ah, the joy.
Breakfast went well enough. Only had to hurt a few people, and as the gigaslave was out of the question - stupid liability agreements about area-effecting spells - I jabbed them a few times with my fork. They got the message and did not reach across my plate for the salt again. They should have asked; then I’d get to tell them that ALL SALT is MINE. Instead, I had to draw blood. Not like I mind, or anything.
Wonder if those zombie-things were happy. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen those people since breakfast.
Took a detour to the arts and crafts building today. At least, I think it was the arts and crafts building. Couldn’t really tell. It did smell of mothballs…But hey - if I say it was the arts and crafts building, dammit, it was!
Someone mentioned a murder earlier today. Pah, murderers. If they aren’t mazoku overlords, they aren’t even worth my time. Although I would like to wring some necks the old-fashioned way. “The old-fashioned way” being pretending to faint and making the nearest muscled guy do it.
In other news, I was pretty sure I heard the word ‘small’ uttered today. It may have been ‘smell’ or ‘smog’…but either way, the idiot is now hogtied and safely secured in the woods. Of course, on second thought, ‘safely’ may not be the term of choice.
…Teach them to mention me and my bustline.
…Or the scents of the camp…
…Or the general state of the environment…
Whatever they said, they’ve learned a lesson.
If they’re still alive in the morning, I may go out and release them and allow them to swear undying allegiance to the great Lina Inverse. I haven’t decided whether or not I should allow them this honour quite yet.
So, anyway, I heard a rumor about cookies. I must investigate, before those other greedy buggers around camp- HEY! THOSE'RE MINE!
EDIT: Have now vanquished all opponents and am enjoying several boxes of mint chocolate chip. Oh, joy.

Character: Nina Tucker
Series: Fullmetal Alchemist
Canon: Nina is the daughter of a mad scientist- well, mad
alchemist. Lovable, concerned about other people, an avid crayon-artist, and
an all-around sweet little girl, Nina spends her portion of FMA being
unbearably cute to both Ed and Al, bestowing them with the nicknames 'Big
brother Al' and 'Small brother Ed'. She has a giant muff of a dog named
Alexander, who also enjoys jumping on Ed at every opportunity. She's a
reasonably intelligent child, and one of the few children in the anime world
to not speak in third-person.
Despite her overwhelming ability to be adorable, Nina came to a grisly end
when she was fused with her dog and promptly splattered all over the wall of
an alley. Ouch.
...Are you my daddy?
Nope, that's not daddy either. None of these things look like anybody I
know, except some things that looked kinda like what's in the garbage can
behind daddy's lab. They were falling apart and going "Braaaaains", and...
it was scary! I was scared! (what was that thing, anyway? If it's okay, i'm
gonna call it a... brainman) Then Alexander barked at them and...
...and, um, that didn't do anything, so me n' Alexander ran as FAST as we
could in the other direction, and that worked WHOLE lot better. The
aminals animals here aren't anything like Alexander, or any of the
ones in daddy's science-room back home (Um, but I did see one that looked
sorta like an octa octi squid, but when I saw it it was only
for a little bit, and anyway there were lots of trees in the way, so I don't
really know if it was or not).
But the things here are really strange! Even if there weren't lots of
brainmans, there was still a creepy scary man who looked sort of like the
brainman. He came up to me and asked if I wanted candy (he said 'braaains,
want some candy, little girl?), and when I went over to GET the candy, he
didn't even have any. He just started trying to chew on my head.
Alexander chased him off, though, so i'm okay! Even if my hair has
glowing gloop all in it.
And... this
has been following me ever since I woke up, and now it's starting to make
strange noises. It sounds sort of like 'Abeeeehbeh, Abeeeehbeh', and then it
sorta bites at me and makes a noise sort of like a- an- one of those things
that makes lots of clicky noises. It hasn't tried to chew on my head like
the other thing did, though, so i'm not as scared of it.
Oh, hey, Alexander, I think I see houses!
...Alexander?

Character: Rei Ayanami
Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Canon: Rei Ayanami is someone who just takes life day by day.
She is a very quiet/soft-spoken and anti-social character who only talks
if she has to. Whenever she does speak, it is usually short and to the
point. She rarely shows any emotion other than indifference. It's really
not that she doesn't have emotions. She just doesn’t know what they are or
what she should be feeling in a given situation. However she is capable of
learning about emotions, which does occur as the series progresses.
She has no close friends nor does she desire any. Nevertheless, she is very
reliable and her obedience to her superiors is extreme, especially to
Commander Gendo Ikari whom she sees as a father figure and is devoted to.
If she is ordered to do something, she will take on the job without
hesitation or complaint and will complete it even at the expense of her own
life. In general, she has a very low sense of self worth (but practically
no self-pity) and does not care if she lives or dies.
There are several major spoilers involving Rei’s canon and explaining them
would be lengthy. Most readers are probably aware of what I’m implying.
But for those who don’t, they’re mentioned in the wiki article.
Camp Fuckudie.
The name does not sound very pleasant.
But no matter what its name may be, it appears that this is to be my
residence for an uncertain period of time.
I am not quite sure as to how I got here in the first place. Commander
Ikari prefers to know my location at all times and it is impossible for
something like this to occur without his knowledge or authorization. The
last event I can recall is my activation test with Unit-00. If past
experiences are an indication, I assume it was not successful and I was
knocked out in the process. I have no recollection of being transported
anywhere so I have no reason to explain how I woke up in the middle of a
forest with a significant headache and still wearing my plugsuit. So I will
assume that he has sent me here for some purpose that will be revealed to me
at a later time.
For now I am doing what I can to familiarize myself with this place and
already I have been given an assignment to do while I am here. After
receiving a shotgun, I was told to help uncover the truth behind the murder
of the Camp Director’s fiancée.
[private] From what I can tell, the Director seems very passionate about
what has happened to her partner to the point where she has no regard for
those who are of no use to her. In a way…she is very much like the
Commander.[/private]
I’m sure that once her objectives are reached, it would mean a better
existence for everyone.
Along with trying to locate and secure the murderer, I am to stay alive as
long as possible (unless told to die) and defend myself from the wildlife as
well as the assorted diseases that are being spread around camp. All while
keeping a record of my progress and camp experiences on this computer. It’s
a different type of mission compared to my usual orders. No one has ever
told me to write about things like experiences and thoughts before…
Speaking of thoughts…I am missing a pair of cracked bifocals. They are of
value to me and I am currently thinking about how much I would like to have
them back in my possession.

Character: Kalas
Series: Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
Canon: Personality-wise, Kalas is a self-serving kind of guy. He's in it pretty much for himself and himself alone, and doesn't want to get involved with other people or their problems. Since he's also an orphan, he's not the best at socializing. But hey, that's okay, because he's also got a sense of justice, after you convince him to help out. And don't worry if he says something to you and sounds a lot meaner than he should - he's always that gruff.
Other things about Baten Kaitos: Magnus are magical cards in which all sorts of things are stored - food, weapons, you name it. Players can also take pictures with a camera magnus of monsters to sell for cold hard cashy. Lastly, Kalas has a guardian spirit who only he can hear and talk to most of the time (although other magically gifted characters might be able to as well).
Hey! Anyone know where a really, really hungry guy can get a decent bite to eat around here? No? Nothing?
Well, good thing I thought ahead and brought a few extra magnus with me……or not. Bananas, overripe…orange, spoiled…milk, curdled…apple, rotten…sick, I don't even want to know what that's supposed to be.
This is all your fault! It was your idea, not mine, to haul butt over here! Yea, well, I only went along with it because you're just that good at persuading me. Don't rub it in!
Ok, couldn't get a good shot of the sea serpent, and...wait, I swear that wasn't in the picture when I first took it. And I don't even know what to think about this one.
That's it! You know what, I don't even care any more. No, don't try to change my mind! I'm not movin' from this spot until you come up with something better to do around this dump. Nothin' doin'!
Wait, you hear that? Sounds big, and it's headed right this way! Screw what I just said, I'm outta here!
