Character: Shirou Kamui
Series:
XCharacter Age: 15
Canon: The year is 1999, and the apocalypse approaches. Following the last words of his mother, Kamui returns to Tokyo to fulfill his destiny and decide the future of the world. Despite initially being moody and uncooperative, a series of tragedies forces Kamui to reevaluate his worth and his position as "Kamui", literally "one who represents the majesty of God" or "one who hunts the majesty of God." He has a choice: to become a Dragon of Heaven, or a Dragon of Earth. The goal of the Dragons of Earth is to destroy the world and allow it to be recreated, thus purifying it of all the damage humans have done, while the Dragons of Heaven wish to maintain and protect the world as it is. The two groups fight for control over Tokyo, a major key point in deciding Earth's survival.
Despite his constant misfortune and the heavy weight of his destiny, Kamui remains a kind-hearted soul who wishes to protect his friends and loved ones at all costs. Usually quiet and withdrawn, he is unwaveringly passionate about trying to protect the world from the Dragons of Earth. He's stronger than he believes, and despite having faced many catastrophes, is still surprisingly innocent and naive when placed in a new environment. He is polite, ocassionally gullible, and often overwhelmed by what most take for granted: kindness and a boisterous friend.
Sample Post:
The sky this morning was grey. It looked like . . . the heavens were weeping for me. Little things kept going wrong . . . like losing my tie, snapping my shoelace, dropping a mug, and breaking my umbrella. If I were superstitious, I would guess the black rabbit that crossed my path was also a sign. I've never seen a rabbit with a waistcoat and a pocket watch before, though. I know that sounds similar to a children's book, but this rabbit didn't look like he was running late for any date, important or not. Though, I remember he was mumbling something about "he's late, he's late . . ."
Is that what he meant by "You're laaaate for a very important daaaaate"? I think yelling that as he kicked me into the rabbit hole was rather unnecessary, even if the trip was an interesting one. I didn't even know rabbits could yell. And I suppose . . . I do have a date. A date with destiny. And my destiny involves my being in Tokyo, not some sort of story -- oh, thank you. Ah . . . Did an ape really just hand me a brochure? I'm definitely sure no one ever handed Alice a brochure when she got to Wonderland. Well, the information would be useful, I guess.
"Camp Find Ur Destiny is a three-week course with a variety of training activities, including classic favorites such as Dodge the Tentacles, Capture the Zombie's Head, and Pin the Tail on the Gorilla and Run. Such games improve the campers' flexibility, stamina, and strategy, all necessary skills for survival and fate-fulfillment. Excellent psychological counseling services are provided by the resident ninjas and pirates, who assure us that the beatings will continue until morale improves. Established in 2005, CFUD is privileged to be one of the very few camps in beautiful Hell, Louisiana."
Louisiana? That's . . . America, with no immediate way back home. Camp Find Ur Destiny . . . I thought I knew my destiny. Everyone else seems to. I suppose summer camp can't be too bad. It's only three weeks, right? That's just a bit less than a month, so I'll be able to go back soon. Though it's strange that I haven't seen that many people here, but maybe it's not unusual for a place like this. The campers are all probably out training. I'll use this place to get stronger, if they're really as good as they say. I'm won't let anything happen to this world. I'll protect it with my dying will!
. . . And you are all getting too close. What you want to do with your dying wills is of no interest to me, and I really don't have time for this! If I'm stuck here, then I'm going to make the best use of my time, and spending it with zombies is not going to help. Necrophilia is not my ghoul in life! I -- Huh? What so funny?
Wait, that was wrong. I got it wrong. Ah . . . Please stop laughing and put yourselves back together. Could you all just leave? A little further away, please. Your presence lingers around here, and it won't leave me alone.
