Character: 'Mist' Mistletein
Series: KNIGHTS
Character Age:Unspecified, but probably mid teens.

CANON: KNIGHTS is a Manga by Murao Minoru. Don't feel bad
if you've never heard of it, but it's definitely worth a read. The manga
follows the story of masked knight-in-training Mistletien (Mist for short),
his scantily clad sidekick Euphemia, and Leonard, who joins the party in the
second volume. The setting is AU middle ages, during an era of fanatic witch
hunts.

Mist's mother was burned at the stake in front of his eyes when he was only
a child, and having sworn never to let another innocent person die like
that, he's been traveling and rescuing girls accused of witchcraft, and
seeking out the 'Saints' and the Dominic Order who are the architects of the
Witchhunts. He's part of an order of Knights with the same goals, and his
actions have earned him the reputation as the infamous 'Black Knight,' and
'Mistletien' (God-killer). He wears a mask in public because the
superstitious villagers and church tend to think he's a demon because of his
dark skin.

Despite his emo past, he doesn't let it get to him most of the time, and is
pretty laid back in general. He's deadly with a sword, but hates unnecessary
casualties, and won't strike a man who's got his back turned, no matter who
it is. Because of his laid-back nature, he ends up being the voice of
reason, holding Euphemia back when her temper or excitability gets the
better of her. He's got a fair amount of irreverence for authority within
his own organization, and has a bit of a rep for not really caring about the
rules.

I sure hope I get to the village soon. This journey's been longer than I
thought it would be. The forest has been getting increasingly.... odd... for
a while now, and I've been lost ever since I got separated from Euphemia and
Leonard in that stand of very ill tempered trees.

Plus, these hoards of walking dead? They're more amicable (and easier to
deal with) than the usual pitchfork-wielding village mobs, but they aren't
really speeding my progress any. Is this even still Exclude anymore? I
think I'd have heard of it if we had purple... creatures.. like that, not
even counting these weird birds. Weird talking birds.

Ow! What are these things supposed to be for? No, I'm---Knock it off, I
think there's enough of these now. I'm not planning on spending the night
here or anything, and what good are the pegs without the tent to go with
them anyway? 'gay'? I'll be plenty happy if I can just get to the village.

Look! I need to find the person talked about in this note!
... You know, this 'Director' lady is lucky I'm the one who found this;
accusations are deadly when it comes to witch hunts, and I might be too late
already. I just hope the villagers are saner than the author of this note
seems to have been.

Character: Joe Black
Series: Viewtiful Joe
Character Age: Late teens, possibly 17 years old.

Canon: In a world where monsters lurk around every corner, dialogue is inconceivably cheesy and the main villain is always some part of your immediate family, one hero stands to defend the innocent from even the greatest threat. That hero is Viewtiful Joe!

Once a not so mild mannered movie fanboy, Joe gained the power to transform in to a superhero with a device known as the “V-Watch”, when his girlfriend was kidnapped by evil forces from the movie world. He can be a complete dumbass at times, but his unique way of thinking and overwhelming charisma gives him the ability to turn any situation around no matter how much the odds are against him.

Joe is one part shounen, one part retard and five parts hot-blooded action hero, with an unmatched dedication to protecting the world from whatever (often animal themed) villains that may threaten it. With a yell of his transformation phrase “Henshin A Go Go, baby!” and his incredible power over movie special effects (seriously), Viewtiful Joe is always ready to fight evil.

Sample Post:

Who’s the courageous hero that always shows up at the exact right moment to save the day? The stylish figure plowing through the forces of darkness as they swarm the earth? The blazing red flame of justice that can burn even the most powerful evil to ashes? That’s right, Viewtiful Joe!

Listen up everybody, I’ve heard all about what that dastardly director is doing in this place and I don‘t like it! She may have gone through a lot of pain in her life, but that doesn‘t mean she can just take it out on everybody else and lock you up like this. Being prisoners doesn’t suit you guys... You need to be out there in the real world, meeting people, eating brains and LIVING YOUR UNLIVES TO THE FULLEST!

So what if they won’t let you free? Who cares if there’s an unbreakable barrier? So what if your arm fell off? Are you just going to sit here and let the director do whatever she wants? Hell no! moping around and being all depressed like this won‘t solve anything. We can all get out of here if we put our minds to it, that barrier's no match for a bit of good old fighting spirit! Now, on the count of three put all your strength in to a single strike and TAKE IT DOWN! One, two... THREE!

...geez, is that it? Do you guys WANT to be stuck here the for rest of your lives? Of course not! Now get up and put some of that undead spirit in to it this time. One, two... HEY, WATCH IT! You‘re supposed to attack the barrier, not me! We’ll never get out of here if we don’t all work together, so lets stop fighting amongst ourselves and... Wait a minute.

Of course! I should’ve seen it from the start. You guys are working for the director, aren’t you?
Heh heh, don’t look so surprised. You can hide behind all the cool zombie makeup you want, but in the end evil’s true nature can never stay hidden for long! And ready to kick evil’s ass the moment it shows it‘s face is everyone's favorite hero, Viewtiful Joe!

Oh, you’re not gonna run? Bad idea!
They don’t call me the world’s most stylish hero for nothing, and I’ve beaten much better looking Dawn of the Dead rejects than you freaks. The good guy always wins in the end, so if you’re ready to fight then lets get it on!

HENSHIN A GO GO, BABY!

Poll Vote!

Character: Shinji
Series: Pokemon-Sinnoh Arc
Character Age: Uncertain but probably no older than 14

Canon: Shinji is from the World of Pokemon; a world where kids set off into the wilderness at the age of ten to capture animals in tennis balls and force them to fight each other. I’m sure you’ve all heard of it. As a trainer he is sarcastic and cold, treating his Pokemon as tools of war rather than partners. That means he yells at them a lot, calling them “useless” if they fail to impress him. He actually releases Pokemon that aren’t up to his standards from the get-go. And he taunts his opponents. Such a pleasant lad.

Sample Post:

You know those days were you shouldn’t get out of bed? You can just feel it? But you do it anyway? Stick to instinct.

I was still by the campfire when I noticed my Chimchar had gone missing. The useless beast had wandered off somewhere. Normally I’d let it go, Pokemon who aren’t obedient and able to battle aren’t worth having. But this morning I didn’t have it in me to find another fire type so I tracked it down. Good for it it wasn’t harmed. The second I picked it up, though, I fell into a hole and lost consciousness.

Honestly, damned cartoon traps? What is this? A joke? It’s bad enough you dug the hole but dragging me off into the middle of nowhere is just uninspired. I’ve seen cheesy horror movies with better kidnappings. Is this place supposed to test me somehow? Tch, the enemies are all weak. I managed to take out that hulking, purple Vigoroth in just one hit. Is that all you’ve got!? Lame. The psychic types are useless too. You’d might as well just let THOSE go, they don’t even know Kinesis yet.

Bring on something that’s worth my time!

…Uh-oh…

Character: Ivan Wisky
Series: Cyborg 009 (specifically, the 1979 anime)
Character Age: 0

Canon: Cyborg 009 is the story of nine humans who are kidnapped by the Black Ghost, an evil organization hellbent on world domination. They are transformed into cyborgs, each with different abilities. They end up revolting against their creators, and do their best to fight for peace.

Ivan is the unlucky child of one Doctor Gamo, a Russian scientist obsessed with his work. He used his own child as a guinea pig, operating on his brain to give him various ESP powers; telepathy, teleportation, telekinesis, etc. Ivan's mother tried to escape with him, but Gamo beat her to death with a wrench (right in front of their son).

Ivan is extremely smart, his enhanced brain ten times more powerful than any adult's. He's calm and levelheaded, something that can make him seem rather cold-hearted at times. But he holds a great deal of love for mankind, despite his detached demeanor. He'll sleep for weeks whenever he's truly exerted his powers, one of the setbacks of being stuck in a baby's body.

Sample Post:

Excuse me.

No, down here. Yes, the baby. Please don't point at me, and I'd rather you didn't call your friends over. I assure you - not that I'm completely sure I understand your reference - that you have not just stumbled onto the set of "Look Who's Talking 4". Now, since we've cleared that up, could you by any chance tell me where I am?

Well. That's an interesting name, for a summer camp. And a murder, you say? Hm, maybe I didn't teleport here by accident after all. At first I had this place pegged as an area the Black Ghost were using to store failed cyborgs, but... ah, cyborgs tend to be a bit sturdier than these creatures.

I shall have to go investigate, I suppose. Thank you for your assistance, you've been most helpful.

But, before we part ways, would you do me a favor? This is awfully humiliating, but I must ask. ...Could you be so kind as to change my diapers, please?

Character: Link
Series: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (manga/game)
Character Age: He's a teenager, around 17, but his real age is unknown.

Canon: Ocarina of Time is about a boy named Link and his journey to save Hyrule from the Evil King Ganondorf. Using the Master Sword, he travels back and forth through time on a quest to defeat Ganon's monsters and search for the missing Princess Zelda. Guiding him through this journey is his fairy/partner Navi and the mysterious Sheikah Sheik, and other friends he makes along the way.

Link tends to be nice to everyone he meets, paying more attention more to their needs then to his own. Due to this habit, he is the kind of guy who makes friends because he tries to see the good in people, even if they don't get off to the best start. He can be goofy and laid back, but is serious when necessary. He's the one who protects the weak from the enemy no matter the circumstances.

Note: Cuccos are basically chickens.

Sample Post:

Helping those two sure was strange. Yes, they deserve to be happy, even if it is a goat and gorilla, but seeing their kid, a goat head on a gorilla body, made me lose a few years of my life. Though I don't see how giving me a tomato as a reward for what I did is going to help me find what I'm looking for.

Anyways, back to this map, the arm that was stolen from the Zombie guy should be in this area. Oh hey. It's a chest. It must be in there. All right, you rare black cucco. Hand over the key to that chest peacefully. I know an arm is in there. The Lens of Truth doesn't lie.

..."Iyaaaaan?"

Uh, if that is cucco language for "No," then I guess I have no other choice. Prepare to be tossed.

Phew. It's over. You sure do know how to put up a fight but I'm sorry for throwing you hard. I guess I really don't my own strength sometimes. Really, really sorry. I'll exchange my potion for your key and place it right here next to you so once you wake up, you could drink it to heal yourself.

Hmm, there seems to be a lot of stuff in this chest. Hey! It's another tomato! I could use this and the one I have already to make some soup for lunch...I'm starting to think everything in this place is not normal if tomatoes can breathe fire. Back to searching. Ah!

You found the Lost Bone Arm! This arm was once covered in fresh rotten flesh before black cuccos feasted on it. Head back to the forest to return it to its owner.

Hey Zombie guy! I finally have your arm back! Sorry it took so long. I was running all over this place fighting killer bunnies, a tentacle monster, helping a goat get back together with it's gorilla lover and end up throwing a defenseless black cucco before finding it and yes that is a gorilla with a goat head following me. No, I'm not it's mother. Though I am worried since eating those tomatoes, it breathes fire every time it opens its mouth. Hey. Don't get close to it Zombie guy. Gah! I told you so! Now I have to go on another quest to find you a new body.

Character: Link
Series: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Character Age: 10

Canon: Link is the Hero of Time. This means he has saved all of Hyrule by traveling seven years into the future to fight Ganondorf and save Princess Zelda. He was then returned to his original time, and traveled to Termina, where he stopped the Moon from falling and killing everybody. He is fantastically loyal to his princess and his land, but this is by no means all there is to him.

Perhaps first and foremost, Link is a Good Guy ™. Possessing the Triforce of Courage, he is incredibly brave. If he sees somebody being hurt, he isn't going to stand for it (although he might hesitate if he doesn't like you-but in the end, he'll help out). Link is only human, and still ten years old at heart. He's still curious, capable of skepticism, and can trip over his own two feet and fall flat on his face. Lastly… mention feeding him, and his soul is all but yours.

NOTE: Link is being taken from after both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. His personality is based off of the manga interpretation.

Sample Post:

Hey, I came here looking for Camp Forge Your Determination, but I think I've gotten pretty lost. A sword-training camp shouldn't have all these monsters all over the place! Or if you were gonna use 'em to train with, you could at least be more careful. They're not as bad as they could be, but they really spooked my horse, you know! Is anybody here even doing anything about a problem like that? You know it's pretty dangerous, right?

Huh? Whaddaya mean, wife? No, Epona's a horse. Um, even though she's just a filly right now. But she'll be a great horse when she gets older! Anyway, are you gonna tell me what all these monsters are doing around here, or not?

Fine, you don't know. I'll get going, but I've got one more question. Are there fairies? In your forest? Don't get so shocked. It's more likely than you think! … No, I don't mean fairies that look like me. Anyway, I'm Hyrulian, that should be obvious! … Huh, what's my clothing have to do with fairies? Hey, it's not a skirt, it's a tunic. And even if it was a skirt, it still wouldn't make a difference.

Are you gonna give me an answer that makes sense? If you've gotta know why I'm asking, I'm looking for my close friend that was separated from me. And my friend's a girl, jeez! Why would you think all fairies are guys?

Well, whatever, you're really not any help. I'm- huh, what? Free food? … I guess I could stay for dinner, and help get rid of those monsters everywhere. And Tuesday soup has a special mystery surprise? Count me in!
