Character: Baralai
Series: Final Fantasy X-2
Character Age: 20
Canon: Baralai is introduced as a non-playable character in FFX-2 as the praetor of New Yevon, whose past is unraveled through the collection of Crimson Spheres throughout the game. Hailing from Bevelle, Baralai began his career as a Crimson Squad candidate. Yevon advertised the Squad as secret, elite fighting force formed to destroy Sin. During Operation Mihen, the squad members mysteriously slaughtered each other in the Den of Woe while seeing images of an unknown machina weapon. After his squad escaped the massacre, Baralai tries to cope with the betrayal as well as uncover the monstrous threat discovered in the cave. He understands change is more difficult for some than others, thus leads people with an unhurried but temperate hand.
Baralai gives the initial impression of the reserved intellectual, but closer inspection of his past and interactions among friends prove otherwise. Baralai can be naïve and embarrassingly sincere, which usually results in someone scolding him for voicing something he shouldn’t have. Despite slight reservations about things unknown to him, Baralai is accepting of many different peoples and viewpoints and is usually the first to reach out to others. He is often underestimated due to his appearance, but his deadly prowess on the battlefield crushes any doubts about his abilities. In battle he quite literally becomes a different person, yet his gentleness leads him to be easily influenced by the moment. However, his cordial attitude can sometimes clash with his secretiveness, which makes him seem distant. During tense situations, Baralai will actually make jokes to lighten the atmosphere, and isn’t one to think too heavily or plan extensively for the future, mostly because he’s going through life addressing things as they come.
Sample Post:
One moment I’m leaving Moonflow through one of the back roads, and the next…I’m here. Wherever here is.
A place where, after threatening me with disembowelment, a type of bird said its hairstyle was superior to mine. I have no clue where it would get the idea I was imitating it. The situation was ridiculous, and yet, it was so serious about what it was accusing me of I couldn’t bring myself to say anything in my defense…
There’s no need to laugh so loudly. Then again, maybe I can’t yet appreciate the hilarity of it all.
The undead here aren’t strong, but they unnerve me. I’m not up for another bodily possession (it’s not an interesting story, really) so I think I’ll be steering clear of their company.
Talking idly in the open can’t be a good idea, and I’d prefer to be cautious. It wouldn’t do for me to be chased by those giant creatures again. By the way, is all life here hostile? I can’t imagine it being very convenient for everyone.
OK, it’s not like I haven’t gotten myself into worse trouble before… My first mission is to get my bearings. Drawing up a map of this place will make it harder to get lost as well as help me return to a more favorable point if I head into dangerous territory. I think we’re entering a different area now, actually… Let’s see, this is “The Caves of Despair?”
I…didn’t realize I could go pale.
It’s nothing much. I’m just not entirely fond of underground places with the words “despair” or “woe” attached to them, but who normally is? Nothing says Do Not Enter like bleakly named grottos. Trust me. You can practically hear the capital letters.
…What was that?
Oh. A moogle? Something familiar--they’re alive?
Save? Would I like to save what? I see. It’d make less sense if I couldn’t die here, but coming back to life is new. That such a safeguard is necessary remove any consolation from the fact.

Character: Gippal
Series: Final Fantasy X-2
Character Age: 18
Canon: Gippal is in charge of the Machina Faction. He started out as a candidate for the Crimson Squad with Nooj, Baralai, and Paine, determined to protect Spira from Sin, despite being turned down by the Crusaders for being Al Bhed. After realizing Yevon had planned on killing off the squad, Gippal and his friends escaped, only to be betrayed by Nooj. Soon after, he forms the Machina Faction, in hopes of ending the negative connotations associated with machines, and also with the ulterior motive of discovering more about the visions of the weapon he saw when in the Den of Woe.
Gippal is an interesting mash of personalities, sometimes laid-back, cynical, or serious. Although self-reliant and at times cocky, it was talking to a legendary guardian that gave him the push he needed to take charge of his life. This independence translates into his work, and he doesn’t take an active role in leading the Machina Faction. He’s also been known to slack at the job by disappearing somewhere or outright ignoring his responsibilities. He can be clumsy and has the peculiar habit of standing on one leg when talking to someone or observing something. Apparently, he has a penchant for REALLY BIG machines and openly appreciates beautiful women. Overlooking his boyishness, it’s been implied Gippal’s smarter than your average Al Bhed.

If this a joke because I haven’t been pulling my weight this past week, I’m never gonna get caught slacking again.
Now that I think about it, a bunch of us had set up camp for a dig, but to end up in an actual camp takes me back to the days of roaming around in the desert. I prefer sand when the ocean’s nearby, thanks, but you make do with what you have, no?
Got that right, ladies. I’m what you can call an inventor. Wanna see my big gun?
Declining? Really. That’s too bad.
Hey, I know the sort of thoughts that go along with a face like that. Thinking something naughty, are we? If I’m not a part of it, I’ll have you know whatever it is ain’t as naughty as it could be. Just saying.
And don’t judge me by the color of my clothes, but all this green and brown nature thing going on isn’t as thrilling as it could be, am I right? You smell something burning? That’s not nature: it’s me. If it wasn’t the grenades I threw, it’s probably because of those fiery tomatoes. Interesting fauna you guys got roaming around, by the way.
Nah, I’m fine, I know how to take care of myself.
Think I’d get in trouble or step on any toes taking apart that animal for spare parts? Don’t want a union getting angry because I violated some strange robot-animal rights in this place. I wouldn’t say I rely on machines too much; they’re just convenient when you’re out sweating your ass off in the desert or battling the elements in some not-so-pleasant part of the world. Take it easy. Since I’m stuck here, don’t see why I shouldn’t make myself at home.
Just don’t get comfortable having my company or start falling in love with me. I’ve got machine’s to build, parts to discover, find new places to avoid working…you know, the usual. It’s all much harder than it sounds.
Well, hello. We have fresh underwear growing from a tree. Do they chafe or anything? Interesting show this camp’s running here. Nothing’s screwed on right, if you get me.
So. I guess I’ll be taking apart that robot we saw a while back. Just curious, really--I can put it all back together. Trust me, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.

Character: Jack Spicer
Series: Xiaolin Showdown
Character Age: actual age unknown, I'm guessing 15 or 16
Canon: Jack is a self-proclaimed evil genius. He's wanted to take over the world ever since he was in 2nd grade. He's incredibly greedy and vain, resorting to lengthy taunts and gloats all the time. He prides himself on his evil laugh and requires all his minions to laugh evilly, but not so evil that they outshine his own glory. He trademarks all his phrases and must include evil or Jack Spicer in almost everything he names.
Despite how evil he may claim to be, he's an incredibly inept villain. His evil lair is in his parents' basement. He's terrified of ghosts, the dark, and clowns. He fails at fighting and is incredibly socially inept. Jack has a bad tendency to give out his evil plans before actually doing them. He relies on petty insults (lamers and loser) instead of truly hurtful words, and abuses the word "evil". He shrieks like a little girl when frightened. Jack also has an unhealthy obsession with monkeys.
While being inept at times, Jack is an incredibly brilliant electrical engineer. He sports a strong expertise in robotics, mechanics, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, metallurgy, and to a certain extent, military tactics. He's even made a time traveling portal that looks like a Stargate. He's capable of creating a large army of bots (he calls them Jackbots) in various different shapes and forms. He can create them quickly and efficiently, often with few flaws. Sometimes the AI is so smart, the bots betray him, leading them to follow their own goals. His bots, however, have one flaw. They can be easily knocked apart by magic and physical attacks.
Jack's actually a pretty sad character inside. He's afraid of failure and abandonment and his parents seem to pay little attention to him, save when his mother sends him to camp. He's helped out the Xiaolin Monks on a few occasions, but claimed it was so he could stop the other forces from taking over the world so he could. There's good still left in him, but he keeps it very well hidden.
Jack began his strongest quest to take over the world when he opened a puzzle box containing a 1500 year old Heylin witch trapped in a ghost form. Through her ability to sense the magical Shen Gong Wu, Jack began to compete against the good guys, the Xiaolin Monks. He fought against them in a Xiaolin Showdown, often cheating in the match to win the Wu. For some time, Jack was the most feared villain against the Monks, until Chase Young, an evil Heylin warrior, makes the scene. Jack worships the ground Chase walks on and spends a great deal of time groveling at Chase to accept him as one of his minions, resorting to odd tasks like mopping Chase's lair and grooming the Cyclops and his hideous toenails.
However, Jack didn't spend all his time groveling at the feet of his idol. Jack Spent a good deal of time chasing after Wu on his own, creating cracktastic robots, and trying to bring about the 1000 years of darkness (that's really 995 years, but 1000 sounds much more doomish) so he can rule the world!

Camp again? Mom's such a lamer. At least this time it's not ice skating camp.
And no Xiaolin losers in sight~! Ahahahaha! That means no goody-goodies to stop me! Soon I'll take over this camp! It'll no longer be called Camp Fuck You Die. What a lame name. It should be called Jack Spicer's evil camp and I'll be the headmaster... er... head counselor.... er... I'LL BE IN CHARGE!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is so sweet! They'll be bowing down to me soon enough! And of course, if they decide to surrender or grovel or worship me, I might take mercy on their sorry butts. Might be feeling generous that day.
This means, I'll have to look for a new Evil Dream Team! I'll call it Jack Spicer's Evil Camp Dream Team! Perfect! A whole new lot of people to choose from! So many potential minions! This is so sweet!
And wait... there are zombies.... ZOMBIES! That can only mean one thing. There must be Shen Gong Wu here!!!! That battle between the the awesome evil side and those Xiaolin losers must've scattered them around the world and there's one right here in this lame camp! Hahahahaha! I'll collect this Wu and get one step closer to ruling this world and casting it into 1000 years of darkness, which is really 995 years, but 1000 years sounds so much eviler! And I'll start right here with this camp! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Character: Ned Bigby
Series: Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide
Character Age: 14
Canon: Ned's Declassified is like a cartoon, only the actors happen to be real people. Explosions? A weasel as the student council president? Sentient lunches? Delicious meta? Wacky hammerspace costume changes and idea lightbulbs? WE GOT 'EM.
The main character (and usually the cause of aforementioned happy fun time antics) is Ned Bigby, an eighth grader known for creating The Guide, a notebook where he writes tips on how to survive middle school. Ned does his best to share these pointers with his fellow schoolmates, though usually the only one who needs to learn the lesson is Ned himself. Despite being a little paranoid, flail-y, capslock-y and lazy, Ned is a genuine friend who will do whatever he can to help his fellow man. Preferably through the use of breaking and entering and/or wacky shenanigans.
Sample Post:
NED'S DECLASSIFIED CAMP SURVIVAL GUIDE
In a summer camp full of zombies, insane counselors, and gross Tuesday lunches -- No, that's totally lame. One, there's still the very slim possibility that this is just the worst cold pizza induced dream ever, and two, the zombies are the lamest things here! I mean, besides the Tuesday soup. Come on. I'm not going to waste my time writing about zombies or stupid cafeteria food clichés when there's a volcano and a kraken and an underwear tree just begging to be tip'd! AN UNDERWEAR TREE. Great plant, or greatest plant?
...Also, those sparkles are the anti-manly. I wanted flames or lasers or something! That malfunctioning HTML is karma, right? I should be putting this in the original Guide, not some dumb laptop, however shiny and amazing said laptop may be. I'll... I'll write some tips out on paper in a minute. First, I need to beat Don't Shoot the Puppy. Bounce faster, puppy! YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR.
Insanely distracting web games aside, I don't know if I'm actually ready to write tips about this place. I've only been here for about three hours, and I spent most of them either running or cowering. I definitely need to do some research first, especially on that underwear tree. Do the boxers come off warm? If you leave a pair up for too long, to they over-ripen and end up as size XXL, or do they just fall to the ground and sprout little baby underwear trees? I must know! Science must know!
-- That's it. Enough hiding! I'm goin' out there. I found a mop in the cabin closet earlier and I'm a pretty fast runner. NED BIGBY FEARS NO ZOMBIES. I won't let being temporarily stranded in some crazy haunted summer camp in the middle of winter keep me from having fun! I have to create wacky hijinks and catapult things into the lake and get free silk boxers from a magical plant! IT'S IN MY BLOOD.
Laptop, Guide, you guys stay here where it's safe. Mop? Let's get dangerous.

Character: Fuko Ibuki
Series: Clannad
Character Age: 15
Canon: Once upon a time there was an art teacher who was going to get married. This art teacher had a little sister, with no friends and very poor social skills in the sense that she basically had downs syndrome. Only it's called being moe, because this is anime. Anyway then the little girl was in a coma because the KEY game studio really loves little girls in comas. Especially if they're up and about while also being lifeless in a hospital. People forgetting them is the norm.
Before being forgotten by everyone - before disappearing from the few people who can still see her non-coma'd form, Fuko tries to hand out starfish carvings to everyone, inviting them to her sister's wedding. She also befriends Tomoya and his harem, but mostly Nagisa, and acts as their adoptive daughter. She probably fits into this niche because of how incredibly immature she is. Which she will deny forever, even if she IS talking about herself in third person. ¯\(°_o)/¯ Of course, she eventually fades even from her closest friend's memories, but even still, her determination allows her to keep seeing them through some strange magical-girl like existence, as she pops up randomly to help people in need.
Sample Post:
Fuko is lost! Fuko is without a doubt, absolutely, definitely, incredibly, very muchly muchly lost! Of course, coming to camp was still Fuko's best idea in a long time. Maybe even two weeks! Fuko has good ideas very often, so it has not really been very long. After all, Fuko can pass out starfishes here! Then everyone will be happy. After all, this is a starfish camp.
Well. Fuko thinks so anyway. Fuko didn't really know the words in the real name, but this camp looks really fun. And fun things are usually related to starfish. Usually. Not always though! There was this one time - Fuko made a snow angel. But... Now that Fuko thinks about it, it could have been an oddly large starfish that Fuko made in the snow.
Fuko will have to ask someone. Um, how about... You! Is this camp related to starfish? ... Oh! Yes, Fuko understands now. This camp is about brains! Hm. Well. Fuko was not aware of this. But it's okay, because Fuko is actually highly knowledgeable of many subjects. So much so that all of Fuko's neighbors call her the smartest Fuko to ever smart. Smartly. Yes, Fuko is very smart!
Thank you for your information, strange person. You see, Fuko is also very good at gathering information. Very much like a cool spy in the movies that Fuko saw with Onee-chan. This strange person never even knew Fuko was interrogating him! In fact, Fuko will use him to retract even more valuable information!
Where does Fuko sign in, and where can Fuko put her bags? They're getting very heavy. ... This strange person is no longer useful to Fuko! This strange person only knows how to talk about brains. Fuko prefers the strange person that teases her. Even if he is a very rude person for doing these things. Still, Fuko gathered some useful things, so she will give this strange person a starfish. Here. Then Fuko must be going... Fuko has to find her way to sign in and find her cabin. Oh, and...
The arts and crafts center. This is a camp. Camps have arts and crafts centers. Fuko will never run out of material for starfish now!
... Wait. Fuko was here for a reason other than starfish. Fuko was summoned by people in need!
People in need... of starfish! Of course! Then Fuko should make more starfish before trying to help these people. Clearly.

Character: Kou Seiya AKA Sailor Star Fighter
Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (anime)
Character Age: Unknown but appears as 16-17
Canon: So Sailor Moon had it all with secret identities, reincarnations, magical girls, talking cats and more lesbian subtext than you could shake a moon-adorned scepter at. What more could it ask for? Singing genderbenders in search of their long lost princess of course.
And thus we have the Starlights. The last survivors of a planet in another galaxy, this magical girl trio sets themselves up as Japan's new hot boyband. Their mission: use their song to call out their princess. It's brilliant! Seiya is the group's wildcard: flirtatious, playful, perfectionist and athletic. This, by no means, stops Seiya from acting like a big dumb kid around Usagi/Sailor Moon or spazzing out when cute little children are being emasculating. Outside of the playboy persona, Seiya is entirely devoted to the mission of defeating the enemy and finding the princess, no matter what it takes. Including lives.
Note: This app takes Seiya from before the Starlights find Princess Kakyuu.

Now this is what I call a fanbase! Who would have guessed we were so popular statewide? Someone's been streaming videos off the web, haven't they? Relax, I'm not here to give speeches. That's for the stage. And everyone knows speeches are nowhere near as effective if you're not dressed for the occasion. A captive audience never hurts either.
-- What do you mean it's the other way around here? I've heard great things about your audience! It's one of the reasons we were so excited to come here. Not only is the audience huge -- all right so we're not talking over 9,000 or anything -- but decent! Probably has something to do with the swamp venue. You definitely have something unique going for you -- bet they never stop talking about this place! Not to mention the international range. You've got people from places I've never even heard of! And believe me, we've traveled. It's a good thing music's the universal language, right?
So who wants to show me around? I still have to figure out where to set up before the others get here. This one big guy got on my case when I tried to ask around earlier. Talk about over-protective! Who goes around telling people someone's a trap?? The only thing I want to capture is a lady's treasured smile. Whatever rumors have been going around the message boards, remember, I'm a professional. Just ask that sweet lady I gave my jacket to. She looked a little pale so I thought I'd help her out. Actually, you guys may want to consider bringing tonight's concert indoors. There's a lot of people who look like the weather's getting to them. -- Did that guy's toe just come off?? That's some fierce frostbite.
Oh, don't worry about the inconvenience. When it comes to performance, we're used to overcoming issues with time and space. So how about it? Dinner and a show in the mess hall? Limited engagement at the Love Hotel? Go for the bar scene? Except for the inflatable one! I don't want it to blow up in our faces. I'm not saying I wouldn't mind doing some more personal performances at a few of the cabins as well.
But you guys are the ones who know the hot spots around here. Give me the options!
... You're going to have to be a lot more specific with Option 3.

This means, I'll have to look for a new Evil Dream Team! I'll call it Jack Spicer's Evil Camp Dream Team! Perfect! A whole new lot of people to choose from! So many potential minions! This is so sweet!
And wait... there are zombies.... ZOMBIES! That can only mean one thing. There must be Shen Gong Wu here!!!! That battle between the the awesome evil side and those Xiaolin losers must've scattered them around the world and there's one right here in this lame camp! Hahahahaha! I'll collect this Wu and get one step closer to ruling this world and casting it into 1000 years of darkness, which is really 995 years, but 1000 years sounds so much eviler! And I'll start right here with this camp! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Character: Ned Bigby
Series: Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide
Character Age: 14
Canon: Ned's Declassified is like a cartoon, only the actors happen to be real people. Explosions? A weasel as the student council president? Sentient lunches? Delicious meta? Wacky hammerspace costume changes and idea lightbulbs? WE GOT 'EM.
The main character (and usually the cause of aforementioned happy fun time antics) is Ned Bigby, an eighth grader known for creating The Guide, a notebook where he writes tips on how to survive middle school. Ned does his best to share these pointers with his fellow schoolmates, though usually the only one who needs to learn the lesson is Ned himself. Despite being a little paranoid, flail-y, capslock-y and lazy, Ned is a genuine friend who will do whatever he can to help his fellow man. Preferably through the use of breaking and entering and/or wacky shenanigans.

NED'S DECLASSIFIED CAMP SURVIVAL GUIDE
In a summer camp full of zombies, insane counselors, and gross Tuesday lunches -- No, that's totally lame. One, there's still the very slim possibility that this is just the worst cold pizza induced dream ever, and two, the zombies are the lamest things here! I mean, besides the Tuesday soup. Come on. I'm not going to waste my time writing about zombies or stupid cafeteria food clichés when there's a volcano and a kraken and an underwear tree just begging to be tip'd! AN UNDERWEAR TREE. Great plant, or greatest plant?
...Also, those sparkles are the anti-manly. I wanted flames or lasers or something! That malfunctioning HTML is karma, right? I should be putting this in the original Guide, not some dumb laptop, however shiny and amazing said laptop may be. I'll... I'll write some tips out on paper in a minute. First, I need to beat Don't Shoot the Puppy. Bounce faster, puppy! YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR.
Insanely distracting web games aside, I don't know if I'm actually ready to write tips about this place. I've only been here for about three hours, and I spent most of them either running or cowering. I definitely need to do some research first, especially on that underwear tree. Do the boxers come off warm? If you leave a pair up for too long, to they over-ripen and end up as size XXL, or do they just fall to the ground and sprout little baby underwear trees? I must know! Science must know!
-- That's it. Enough hiding! I'm goin' out there. I found a mop in the cabin closet earlier and I'm a pretty fast runner. NED BIGBY FEARS NO ZOMBIES. I won't let being temporarily stranded in some crazy haunted summer camp in the middle of winter keep me from having fun! I have to create wacky hijinks and catapult things into the lake and get free silk boxers from a magical plant! IT'S IN MY BLOOD.
Laptop, Guide, you guys stay here where it's safe. Mop? Let's get dangerous.

Character: Fuko Ibuki
Series: Clannad
Character Age: 15
Canon: Once upon a time there was an art teacher who was going to get married. This art teacher had a little sister, with no friends and very poor social skills in the sense that she basically had downs syndrome. Only it's called being moe, because this is anime. Anyway then the little girl was in a coma because the KEY game studio really loves little girls in comas. Especially if they're up and about while also being lifeless in a hospital. People forgetting them is the norm.
Before being forgotten by everyone - before disappearing from the few people who can still see her non-coma'd form, Fuko tries to hand out starfish carvings to everyone, inviting them to her sister's wedding. She also befriends Tomoya and his harem, but mostly Nagisa, and acts as their adoptive daughter. She probably fits into this niche because of how incredibly immature she is. Which she will deny forever, even if she IS talking about herself in third person. ¯\(°_o)/¯ Of course, she eventually fades even from her closest friend's memories, but even still, her determination allows her to keep seeing them through some strange magical-girl like existence, as she pops up randomly to help people in need.

Fuko is lost! Fuko is without a doubt, absolutely, definitely, incredibly, very muchly muchly lost! Of course, coming to camp was still Fuko's best idea in a long time. Maybe even two weeks! Fuko has good ideas very often, so it has not really been very long. After all, Fuko can pass out starfishes here! Then everyone will be happy. After all, this is a starfish camp.
Well. Fuko thinks so anyway. Fuko didn't really know the words in the real name, but this camp looks really fun. And fun things are usually related to starfish. Usually. Not always though! There was this one time - Fuko made a snow angel. But... Now that Fuko thinks about it, it could have been an oddly large starfish that Fuko made in the snow.
Fuko will have to ask someone. Um, how about... You! Is this camp related to starfish? ... Oh! Yes, Fuko understands now. This camp is about brains! Hm. Well. Fuko was not aware of this. But it's okay, because Fuko is actually highly knowledgeable of many subjects. So much so that all of Fuko's neighbors call her the smartest Fuko to ever smart. Smartly. Yes, Fuko is very smart!
Thank you for your information, strange person. You see, Fuko is also very good at gathering information. Very much like a cool spy in the movies that Fuko saw with Onee-chan. This strange person never even knew Fuko was interrogating him! In fact, Fuko will use him to retract even more valuable information!
Where does Fuko sign in, and where can Fuko put her bags? They're getting very heavy. ... This strange person is no longer useful to Fuko! This strange person only knows how to talk about brains. Fuko prefers the strange person that teases her. Even if he is a very rude person for doing these things. Still, Fuko gathered some useful things, so she will give this strange person a starfish. Here. Then Fuko must be going... Fuko has to find her way to sign in and find her cabin. Oh, and...
The arts and crafts center. This is a camp. Camps have arts and crafts centers. Fuko will never run out of material for starfish now!
... Wait. Fuko was here for a reason other than starfish. Fuko was summoned by people in need!
People in need... of starfish! Of course! Then Fuko should make more starfish before trying to help these people. Clearly.

Character: Kou Seiya AKA Sailor Star Fighter
Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (anime)
Character Age: Unknown but appears as 16-17
Canon: So Sailor Moon had it all with secret identities, reincarnations, magical girls, talking cats and more lesbian subtext than you could shake a moon-adorned scepter at. What more could it ask for? Singing genderbenders in search of their long lost princess of course.
And thus we have the Starlights. The last survivors of a planet in another galaxy, this magical girl trio sets themselves up as Japan's new hot boyband. Their mission: use their song to call out their princess. It's brilliant! Seiya is the group's wildcard: flirtatious, playful, perfectionist and athletic. This, by no means, stops Seiya from acting like a big dumb kid around Usagi/Sailor Moon or spazzing out when cute little children are being emasculating. Outside of the playboy persona, Seiya is entirely devoted to the mission of defeating the enemy and finding the princess, no matter what it takes. Including lives.
Note: This app takes Seiya from before the Starlights find Princess Kakyuu.

Now this is what I call a fanbase! Who would have guessed we were so popular statewide? Someone's been streaming videos off the web, haven't they? Relax, I'm not here to give speeches. That's for the stage. And everyone knows speeches are nowhere near as effective if you're not dressed for the occasion. A captive audience never hurts either.
-- What do you mean it's the other way around here? I've heard great things about your audience! It's one of the reasons we were so excited to come here. Not only is the audience huge -- all right so we're not talking over 9,000 or anything -- but decent! Probably has something to do with the swamp venue. You definitely have something unique going for you -- bet they never stop talking about this place! Not to mention the international range. You've got people from places I've never even heard of! And believe me, we've traveled. It's a good thing music's the universal language, right?
So who wants to show me around? I still have to figure out where to set up before the others get here. This one big guy got on my case when I tried to ask around earlier. Talk about over-protective! Who goes around telling people someone's a trap?? The only thing I want to capture is a lady's treasured smile. Whatever rumors have been going around the message boards, remember, I'm a professional. Just ask that sweet lady I gave my jacket to. She looked a little pale so I thought I'd help her out. Actually, you guys may want to consider bringing tonight's concert indoors. There's a lot of people who look like the weather's getting to them. -- Did that guy's toe just come off?? That's some fierce frostbite.
Oh, don't worry about the inconvenience. When it comes to performance, we're used to overcoming issues with time and space. So how about it? Dinner and a show in the mess hall? Limited engagement at the Love Hotel? Go for the bar scene? Except for the inflatable one! I don't want it to blow up in our faces. I'm not saying I wouldn't mind doing some more personal performances at a few of the cabins as well.
But you guys are the ones who know the hot spots around here. Give me the options!
... You're going to have to be a lot more specific with Option 3.
