Character: Matsunaga Sara
Series: Ever17 ~Out of Infinity~
Character Age: 16
Canon: Ever17 is the story of six (or is it five? Or seven?) young people who are trapped in an underwater theme park when it unexpectedly springs a leak, and have 119 hours to find a way to escape before the place implodes and they all die. It's a little like The Poseidon Adventure, if The Poseidon Adventure were set in the future and had sinister pharmaceutical companies and time paradoxes and some interesting uses of quantum physics. So not much like it at all, really.
Matsunaga Sara is one of the aforementioned young people. She's a friendly, playful girl, and fairly calm in the face of emergencies (see: aforementioned imminent drowning). She's also got a wild imagination, though, and especially loves pretending to be a ninja. One could say, in fact, that Sara is a little obsessed with ninjas. Her other passion is computers: she is a genius hacker -- possibly one of the best in the world, despite her young age (then again, in fiction, being under eighteen is practically a requirement for being a brilliant hacker). This genius only tends to show itself when she's around computers, though -- the rest of the time, she just seems like a relatively normal, if somewhat silly, schoolgirl.
Sample Post:
Hey, Mr. Gorilla Mascot! Mr. Gorilla Mascot! I need some help -- I'm lost. Actually, I think I may have been kidnapped! You see, this morning, I was just walking down the street, on my way to ninja school, where I train daily in the many and various deadly arts that any young assassin must learn. As I was walking, I passed a little store with a sign that said "Free Laptops: Inquire Within." I knew it sounded too good to be true, but still! What technological ninja worth her lethal microchip blades could resist the temptation of possible free technology? Not this one!
Of course, I went in, just to see what the catch was. But the minute I stepped into the store, I began to feel dizzy. Before I knew what was happening, I had passed out... and then when I woke up, I was here. I realized, upon waking, that I must have walked right into a trap laid by one of my many enemies! Most likely someone wanting revenge for some assassination or stealthy data-theft... or possibly some ninja-style party-crashing, who knows. The weirdest thing, though, was that next to me, I found a laptop, with a note on it that said "Never say the Director doesn't keep her promises. Enjoy your free laptop, sucker! PS: it's running Windows ME. ♥" Which is just cruel -- I mean, jeez, talk about adding insult to injury.
So anyway, that's my story. And I was wondering if you could help me out -- tell me where I am, direct me to the nearest phone, tell me where I could find a real computer store, something like that. ... What? Only if I show you some ninja moves first? Ha ha, sure, why not? That sort of feat is nothing to one such as I! Just watch!
-- Eh? Well, of course that wasn't a real jutsu, stupid. What did you expect? It's not like I could be a real ninja. Everyone knows they're all dead now. Besides, I thought it was pretty good for something I came up with on the spur of the moment. Especially the part with the squirrel.
... You were hoping I would do what? Hmph! I've never heard of anything like that -- and even if I had, I don't need any jutsu to be sexy, thank you very much!
Poll Vote! Character: Midou Ban
Series:
Get Backers (Anime)Character Age:
18 Canon: For a couple of people with a total lack of self-control and socialization skills, Midou Ban and Amano Ginji make quite an interesting pair. Working as Retrievers under the name Get Backers, they offer to recover any item in return for a fee. To the Get Backers, having their car towed, being run over by rabid monkeys, and going stark naked in crowds a small price to pay for their art of retrieval. With black holes for their checkbooks as well as stomach, Ban and Ginji are always on the look-out for quick cash and pretty girls to spend it on.
With a cockiness bordering on childish, Midou Ban is the yin to his partner's occasionally naive and well-meaning yang. Annoying and with enough ego to spare, he has love for large-breasted women, with a tendency to jump from a foul-mouthed ass to a seeming cool and sophisticated gentleman. To everyone else, he is cool and uncaring to the point of rudeness. However, there's a hidden arsenal of intelligence and the battle senses of a genius tactician underneath his silly and proud exterior. One that only comes out if there's something's in it for him, of course.
Sample Post:
What do you mean you're impounding my car, I was trying to tell her. You were double parked without a permit, the traffic chick says. With what, a tree? I reply, slightly more colorful language added of course. And then? WHAM! A tree branch to the head, she gave me a fuckin' tree branch to my head! Damnit, doesn't that count as cruel and unusual punishment in this country?
There I was, stranded like a penguin in the middle of a desert. But you know what, I'm smart. I'm creative. And I had just washed this outfit last week so I was good to go for at least another month. So what if I don't have any money. True geniuses can do better than that. I may not be able to get my usual type of job here, but give me some time and I'd come up with a way to pay off these damn tickets. After all, I am the great Midou Ban, I was thinking. Then, out of the rotting forest comes this err...babeinasense with a gorgeous proposition anyway. And well...a job's a job and money's money, right?
So, back to my meal ticket outta this joint.

Poll Vote! Character: Sousuke Sagara
Series:
Full Metal Panic!Character Age: 17
Canon: What do you get when you take a military boy, raised fighting terrorism, with no knowledge of the normal world, and send him to a normal japanese high school to protect a beautiful japanese schoolgirl with super special military secrets locked away in her skull? You get plenty of crazy antics, thats what.
Sousuke Sagara, call sign 'Uruz 7', is a stoic, restrained, no play, kind of guy. The kind of soldier you would normally see shoot up the ranks, and is always called on first for the secret missions. Of course, when thrown into normal society? All his functions and military mindedness tend to back fire in his face. Blowing up school lockers due to a love letter being in it, raging across the school grounds gun in hand to stop a 'pervert', only to burst into the girls locker room himself. Safe to say, he has a hard time understanding things most people would be able to easily.
Sample Post:
This is Uruz 7, requesting back up.
I had recently received information from a anonymous source that there was a terrorist camp situated at my current coordinates. After arriving, I quickly came to realize my source was indeed correct. I began my infiltration of this "Camp Fuck You Die" using the standard procedure. I remained hidden at all times, observing from a distance.
These are my observations thus far.
The chain of command works so that "Counselors" are in charge of running each cabin of terrorists. They report directly to a "Director", who has remained elusive. I have heard this Director has been involved in a murder case, and is possibly the mastermind. Through word of mouth I have learned she has a "phallus larger than the entire camp" and could put "the manliest of men to shame". Therefore, I believe it is safe to assume this "Director" has a secret missile base located in the camp. I shall continue my efforts to locate this phallus as time goes on.
Next, the "Campers" here seem to vary in age and size. While my initial observation was that they were not terrorists, but hostages, this was quickly changed when I discovered a multitude of them were fully armed. It seems each "Camper" is provided a standard firearm upon entry. It is likely this is for self-defense, which brings me to my next observation.
This "Camp Fuck You Die" seems to focus on the final word of it's name, as it seems riddled with dangers, and possibly advanced chemical weapons. Those currently on premise often seem to become infected with varying diseases, yet none of them seem lethal. One such infected individual appeared to be healthy one day, yet the next they seemed much thinner, with a strange growth on their chest. It is possible this disease caused the infected to appear malnourished, and gain those strange growths. These strange diseases warrant further investigation.
Finally, there is a large carnivorous creature that dwells in the lake. I observed various campers being pulled into this lake, often letting out cries of "Iyaaaaaan". I assume this is a new terrorist code of some sort, possibly a method to for back up. If such is the case, I will now proceed to make my way further into the terrorist camp, using this new code word to blend in.
This is Uruz 7, ending transmission.
Poll Vote! Character: Luck Gandor
Series:
Baccano!Character Age: ~20
Canon: Prohibition-era American is known for gangs, speakeasies, mafia... Ah, mafia. The Gandor family is one of the main powers in Manhattan, New York, led by the Gandor brothers Berga, Keith, and Luck. Though the youngest of the three, Luck, known for being a brilliant man and boss, acts as the ringleader. However, strangely enough for a mafia boss, Luck is rather open and tends to wear his emotions on his sleeve. This does not mean, however, that he's softhearted. Ruthless when necessary, he does whatever it takes to get what he wants, from shooting someone in the head, to letting one of his men torture the living daylights out of a prisoner.
In 1711, a group of alchemists summoned a demon in search of a liquor that could grant them eternal life. Over two hundred years later, the liquor has been reproduced and at the promotion celebration of a childhood friend, all three of the Gandor brothers down it, granting them immortality. Should an Immortal be injured, their body heals itself nearly immediately, though the pain of injury is still there.
Basically! LUCK CANNOT DIE. He gets beehive-ed by a machine gun, goes home, and changes into a new suit for the evening.
Sample Post:
One day, you're on top of the world; the next day you're sitting in swamp mud. Waist-deep in swamp mud, even. Which brings me to my current predicament, why am I sitting in the mud? Last I recall, I was being dragged into a car and... Oh for. Why can't people understand they shouldn't tangle with the Gandor family? Another suit's ruined and with this many holes in the material, I might as well throw it out. Besides, mud stains pretty badly, giving me no reason to try and salvage it. Hah.
So it was body disposal, was it? I really don't like it when I get shot, especially not with a machine gun. Overkill, in my opinion, especially when the target's right there and unconscious. At least they had the courtesy -- or should I call it stupidity -- to knock me out first. I'll commend them in thinking to bring me somewhere rural before shooting me though; less chance of being interrupted or seen that way. Still, wouldn't a hostage situation work far better? Or handing me over to someone to torture for information? That's what I would do if I got my hands on the leader of a rival family. Kidnapping and killing immediately is really rather childish.
Now let's see. Woods, woods, swampland, more woods. Clearly nowhere near Manhattan. Then again, staying put isn't going to help anything so I might as well go--oh, how convenient. A hiker, maybe? ...Excuse me, sir? Excu--excuse me, I hadn't realized I was interrupting anything. Not a hiker, clearly. Is there a movie being filmed? Your makeup is very well done, sir, my compliments. It's easy to believe you just crawled out of a grave, even at this close distance. I do apologize if I'm interrupting the scene, but could I speak your director? I'm afraid your makeup is making your words a bit hard to understand, all I seem to be hearing is variations of "brains" you see, which isn't exactly helpful. If you could just point him -- my apologies, her-- out... Ah, in the grove of trees? My thanks, good sir.
Hello! Er. I hadn't expected quite so many people! Makeup's very good, quite scary, yes. I was just looking for your director...? Sayre, you say? Well, if you could point me in Director Sayre's direction, I'd highly appreciate it. No, no, you don't have to show me, I'm sure I can find her on my own if you'd just tell me which direction I should head. I'm very grateful for your help but your makeup's a bit too good and your hands are somewhat gooey. My suit may be muddy and riddled with holes but it is the only one I have at the moment and I'd rather not have it be any stickier than it already is.
Sirs. My jacket back, if you please. And you, please remove your hands from my pants-- No, that really is a gun and I'm not just "pleased to see you". There is a limit to what I am willing to accept and I'm afraid you have just crossed the line. What possibly made you think I'd welcome this kind of attention? ...I am indeed mafia. How is that relevant--

Where did you get that idea? Not all mafia members are gay!
Poll Vote! Character: Kinomoto Sakura
Series:
Cardcaptor SakuraCharacter Age: 11
Canon: So what happens when you accidentally unleash a deck of sentient cards that will bring disaster upon the world if allowed to roam freely? Why, you're charged with the task of rounding those babies back up, of course! This one of a kind job belongs to grade school student Kinomoto Sakura, and it's no walk in the park. Juggling academics, extra-curricular activities, and responsibilities at home, the sudden introduction of "Cardcaptor" and the wacky events that follow makes this girl's life pretty hectic. It's tough trying to keep a lid on things, but at least she's got a friend that dresses her up for every occasion and a guardian beast that inhales food like a crack addict supporting her, right?
Aside from releasing the cards in the first place, there's another reason why Sakura was chosen to bring them home. Cheerful, caring, and upbeat, Sakura is the perfect candidate to be the friend of the cards and their guardians. She's also quite responsible for her age, doing assigned home tasks and cooking meals without complaint. (The war with the alarm clock, however, rages on.) Unfortunately, "dense" must be her middle name as her level of gullibility is up there with the best of them, and she carries a rather large fear of ghosts and the like. Still, Sakura is a wonderful friend to have, and is even nice to those who think otherwise of her. On the off-chance she's feeling blue, it's usually because a person held dear is troubled, or in trouble, and her sadness is eventually replaced with the determination to make things better. "Everything will definitely be alright!" is Sakura's invincible spell, and it's with the assurance and belief in these words that she continues on in life with a brightly-lit smile.
Note: "Hoe" is the sound Sakura makes whenever she's surprised, mostly. It's pronounced "ho-eh."

On a hunt~ On a hunt~ We're hunting for some trea-sure~
One flaming tomato, a tooth of duckling, and the decaying eye of zombie~♪
...
W-What kind of treasure list is this, anyway? Ducks don't even have teeth ... I think. Maybe we shouldn't have split up; it's kind of spooky here, especially with the wind and the stuff we're supposed to find. They didn't even tell us why these sorts of things are on here. What are we going to do with a de-decaying eye of zombie? It- It must be fake, right?
... Maybe it's to scare us. Camping trips always have the part where everyone tries to scare each other... It's so mean, but. But that must be what it is! Well, I won't be afraid! It's all not real anyway, so there's nothing to be afraid of!
Ah! That was a really strong wind! And it brought a really stinky smell with it. Garbage disposal? They must not have emptied it for a long time; it feels like it's getting closer...
Huh! Oh, teacher! S-Sorry, I was just a little surpri- HOE! W-W-What happened?! You look like a- a zombie! And smell, too! ... No, wait. I get it! You're trying to scare me, huh? W-Well, I'm sorry, but it didn't work! I know that's just a costume so it's not scary! Aha!
-- Erk. E-Everyone else is dressing up, too...? That's really...a lot of effort into frightening people. But I'm not fooled, not one bit! You should really stop it, though, it isn't very nice. Especially since you're probably going to tell g-ghost stories later; that's bad enough...!
Oh, what's that face? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scold you or anything. Er, but why are you giving me your eye...? To- To join in? Um, sure, I guess - but I hope you guys take off your costumes soon, it'll scare the other class!
But at least they aren't real.
Poll Vote! Character: Aigis
Series: Shin Megumi Tensei: Persona 3
Character Age: Appears teenaged
During the day, [Main Character] is a normal highschool student but at the stroke of midnight, the Dark Hour begins, and he is a member of SEES (Specialized Extracurricular Extermination Squad), one of the few people who can fight against the shadows, by summoning persona when he 'shoots' himself with a gun shaped evoker.
Aigis is an 'anti-shadow weapon', a robot with the ability to summon a persona. She is awoken after 10 years of inactivity and decides to join SEES and attend high school with MC. Although Aigis is a robot, she is capable of human thoughts of emotions; it's just she mostly reacts to: defeating shadows, keeping people safe, fulfilling her purpose as a robot (ie. defeating shadows and keeping others safe). As the game progresses, she becomes gradually acts more human and starts to move away from her usual formal, straight faced (but not extremely robotic-like) answers, but just don't expect to her to understand when you joke and flirt with her.
(Note: Aigis has the ability to understand animals)
Sample App:
Hello, my name is Aigis. I have been dispatched from the S.E.E.S. group of Gekkoukan High to come assist with your shadow infestation. I am a human tactical weapon, a machine created for the sole purpose of destroying shadows. I specialize in physical attacks, primarily piercing attacks using my hands, which are capable of shooting bullets.
My specialty is my Orgia Mode which increases my attack strength exponentially. Unfortunately, a direct result of this mode, I become overheated and must rest before I am fully recovered. Fortunately, because I am a machine, I can always be rebuilt if I become broken.
In addition, my hands can be modified to equip other weapons such as cannons and missiles that penetrate harder and inflict more damage. ...Yes while it is possible, I do not understand how attaching a 'dildo' to my arm will help improve my ability to penetrate during my 'orgy' mode.' Not only that, I also find that with this, I will be limited to close range attacks, which can be potentially ineffective if I am not in the position to launch a sneak attack, most effectively from behind.
During times when you will not need me for combat, I will primarily be in my stand by mode. However, I will be constantly monitoring the environment for possible threats. I find the animal life here to be most beneficial. The kraken by the name of Marcy has an extensive knowledge of the campers' weaknesses and a cat has informed me of several elevated hiding spots for surveillance.
