Canon people in camp:

Urameshi Yuusuke - Yuusuke is the second human ever to make an overwhelming impact on Kurama and his outlook on humanity. When they met originally, Yuusuke was hunting him for the treasure he helped steal from the Reikai... Yuusuke gave him a little bit of faith, listened to his motivations and came to meet the person this was all for, his human mother. When Kurama used the treasure to try and sacrifice his own life for this woman's health, Yuusuke recklessly threw his own life in with him... saying that it was to keep Kurama's mother from having to cry over him.

At that moment, Yuusuke ensured himself a lifelong ally. Almost immediately after, Kurama interrupted Hiei and Yuusuke's fight, taking a blow that could have been a killing shot against Yuusuke... and, on top of that, crippling Hiei's powers for Yuusuke. By all means, this should have made them even, however, Kurama just shows up whenever and wherever Yuusuke may need him without complaints or even pretending it's to work off his parole with the Reikai.

He's grown to admire the way Yuusuke works, and is constantly surprised at how Yuusuke's "react first, consider how that could have gone wrong later" style constantly pans out well. Yuusuke's an IDIOT, but lucky and straightforward. Kurama has been willing to lay out his life for him, betray a much stronger demon, and he's left his territory to help him several times (For a demon like him, that actually says more than anything). As much as he can and will be playfully evil around Yuusuke, Kurama has Yuusuke's back, and always will.

Kuwabara Kazuma - If someone asked Kurama to describe Kuwabara, they'd probably get a sweatdrop, a little laugh and "Kuwabara is Kuwabara." Loud, over the top, and just steadfastly earnest.. Kuwabara's a constant source of amusement, and Kurama doesn't have much of a problem listening to a request from him.

Urameshi Atsuko - Atsuko couldn't be further from his own mother, and this would probably have hurt his brain badly if he wasn't already knew Yuusuke quite well by the time he met her. As far as he's concerned, this woman alone brought her son back to life, and saved Kurama's life indirectly... He doesn't really take many of her Yuusuke insults at face value, and usually just lets the conversation drop politely.

Camp relationships (in order of series):

Wednesday Addams - Interesting, blunt, non judgmental, and frankly really quite darkly funny, even if he's not always entirely sure how much she's joking. He didn't have much of a real opinion of her until she came around during his kitsune incident. Extra points for just thwocking Ishida over the head. He likes her quite a bit, and was quite happy at her thoughtfullness.

Chizuru - That is an interesting power she got. O.o, whatever makes her happy. Kurama is vastly amused.

Ishida Uyruu - Cold and very unhappy with. He figures Ishida was just doing what he thought was right, however, he doesn't take kindly to hunters at all, and if you're too blind to look past an aura, you get what's coming to you. He really doesn't want to kill Ishida... but wouldn't mind hanging him upside-down by his feet over the garden for a while.

Alex - Contrary young man... and a little touched. This opinion hasn't changed much, but Kurama's estimation of his usefullness has. For a human, he certainly has a good amount of insanity and will to do damage. Not a bad guard, providing that Kurama can keep him interested. Note: No Ode to Joy unless he has Alex pointing in the right direction.

Kon - He really seems to be the decent sort, and dealing pretty well with what has to be a difficult situation. He's neutral and leaning toward favorable about superboy. Kal... he regards like a cute kid. ... Demons have a little different ideas of cute, what are you gonna do?

Robin - Has met. No opinion really yet.

Lady - His opinion is ambiviolent, bordering on amused. He was quite happy to help her during the apple incident, but hearing that her hiccups cure is shooting five demons... well, Kurama just cheerfully lied about his powers. Who knows how long this will last!

Gan Ning - Met briefly... might be good muscle on a job. No real opinion yet.

Mal - Mal strikes him as a good guy, amusing and very dependable. He made an excellent front guard and was very reliable the whole way through. He'll be quite interested in talking to Mal again, on a non-professional basis, and wouldn't hesitate to ask him for help again.

Fletcher - Kurama'd love to know more about plant alchemy. Fletcher struck him as a good kid and earnest. He wouldn't mind talking to him more.

Russel - Quite agreeable and pleasant to work with. The distraction he made was quite believable and effective. He was happy to pass along information in a selective manner, and didn't mind the 'I'll tell you laters' in fact, he planned on that... One person tells another under secrecy, then they tell another, until the information is a communal 'secret.'

Miroku - Oh, he'd seen enough of Miroku to see the public flirt face... It was a little bit of a surprise when he appeared for the heist, and then quite delighted when Kurama got a feel of the range of power Miroku has. Will certainly offer a role again if the opportunity ever came up, but knows better than to expect it.

Wolfram von Bielefield - Neutral. He understands what Wolfram was doing, if he thought it was a little uncalled for. He doesn't mind someone wanting to beat the crap out of Yuusuke, but declaring an want to kill him gets Kurama over there pretty quickly.

Gwendal von Walde - Baking buddy! Just prickly with pride and dignity, so easy to make explode or blush... Gwendal's almost at the top of Kurama's list to mess with. For all of Yuusuke's spouses... at the moment, Gwendal was the only one Kurama considered 'real,' and doesn't particularly know what to think of the apparent going down in flames it just did.

Personally, he likes Gwendal... he has gotten down under that pride to see quite a different person. He's not put off by the duplicity... in fact, empathizes a bit more because of it.

Rinko - Quiet young girl. She seemed earnest enough.

Ueki - Another plant controller. The tree growing ability really fascinated Kurama, and the sheer enthusiasm of the boy somewhat reminds him of Yuusuke. He has agreed to show Ueki some tricks and perhaps a few different types of trees to try. He has no idea what's up with "Kurasen" but it is amusing him.

Kazahaya - A little wary that the boy thought the job he offered would be easy. No real opinon on him yet.

Rikuou - Quite a useful talent there. Strikes Kurama as quiet, but probably reliable. No major opinion yet.

Lupin - BAD first impression, but very favorable opinion at the moment. Lupin proved to be quite helpful professionally, and one of the more interesting to talk to in the Director's office. He's pretty much completely set aside the earlier rankling and is quite prepared to work with Lupin again if the opportunity ever arises. He's on Kurama's list of one of the more useful in camp.

Evangeline - A powerful magic user, under quite an interesting curse, and power depends on the lunar cycles. Her help was invaluable in breaking the initial barrier, both in spotting the flaw in it's casting and in bringing it down. He would certainly enjoy talking with her on a non professional basis... also would enjoy her opinion on the camp barrier.

Haruno Sakura - One of Yuusuke's spouses... So far to him, she seems to have a good head but not quite directly involved with Yuusuke. Doesn't disapprove of her, just no real opinion yet. He doesn't really get the forehead thing, but whatever makes her happy!

Rock Lee - Lee has made an impression as straightforward, earnest and honest. Kurama actually rather likes him so far and is a little fascinated by the simple innocence. This means he REALLY enjoys teasing him.

Tsunade - He's very lukewarm on her at the moment, and would be unimpressed except for what is truly amazing skill in reiki healing. Her explanations of Naruto's seal and why it's there didn't do much for him.

Uchiha Itachi - First impressions were the ninja was powerful and standoffish. Kurama is a little curious as to what Itachi wants to know about manipulating seals... but he was distracted by Itachi's kitsune overload. He had a great deal of fun tag teaming with Itachi, and his opinion at the moment, is one of great enjoyment.

Very interested that Itachi had shown up when he called for the 'morally ambigious'. Curiosity is up.

Uzumaki Naruto - This stands to be interesting! Kurama really was extremely interested in meeting him... Not just for the fact of seeing the Kyuubi for himself, but if the youko of his world are any indication... it's usually a good idea to introduce yourself when in a nine tail's territory.

When Kurama got stuck in his kitsune form, the youki he couldn't control like he normally does caused a massive reaction in the Kyuubi in Naruto. He has no idea whether the Kyuubi wanted to talk, give a show of power, or kill him, and because of that uncertainty, he's extremely wary of approaching Naruto.

He certainly does NOT approve of what's been done to seal the Kyuubi. At this moment, he really thinks the moment Naruto dies, the ninjas who did it are as good as dead. As for Naruto himself... he places no blame on the boy, feeling that he's as much of a victim of the seal as the Kyuubi. As of late, he's been particularly open about his past, and will probably continue to do so... for the simple reason that he is interested in gently coaxing reciprocation. He's really curious about how Naruto is living like that.

Yakushi Kabuto - This is somewhat complicated. He knows Kabuto's fishing for information quite voraciously, and he knows right off, that Kabuto is the type who is much more dangerous with that information, than he is with any power. He's much like Kurama in that sense... and in that way, doesn't really trust him so much. However, all of their interactions have been quite friendly, Kabuto providing cuttings and herbs for him to study or try for weapons, and offering help in a number of ways.

At this moment, Kurama is content to give Kabuto general information without asking for anything in return from Kabuto... for now. He's gauging things at the moment, and is actually quite curious as to how much of a challenge it would be to learn about Kabuto without straining their relationship. The more of a challenge it might be, the more interested he'll be in pursuing it.

Not surprised when Kabuto showed up for the heist, in fact, it pleasantly confirmed his suspicions.

Yamanaka Ino - Another of the many apparently married to Yuusuke. He thinks it's terribly funny. Ino struck him as having quite a bit of fire, and had been enjoyable for their brief conversations. He wouldn't mind speaking with her more.

Ari - Registers basically just as one of Yuusuke's friends. Because of the nature of their conversation, thinks Ari's much younger than he is.

Inui - Neutral at the moment, but leaning towards favorable. The data man may be very useful to him.

Son Goku - He really wouldn't have held anything against him even if he HAD been hurt during the limiter incident. There was no sign of anything but an animal intelligence to Kurama... Whatever it was going on, Goku clearly wasn't there. Though, seeing what he did to Naruto, he's kind of curious as to how Yuusuke or Hiei would fair against him.

Heather - Struck him as a rather grounded and strong woman. Their first meeting may not have left the best impression on her, but the apple thing gave him quite a few hundred questions. It was quite an amazing holy aura that happened, as well as the range of euphoria she managed to produce.

Filia Ul Copt - He knows he should not taunt the dragon. He really does. But he and Yuusuke are currently engaged in a competition to see how many times they can get her tail to pop out (twice now! In the lead!), because really, it's just funny. She's probably a sweet girl, after the incident with Ishida trying to shoot him, he's a little prickly about the all demons are bad line.

Is really amused that Filia is actually afraid of him and a little bit flattered.

Xellos - Daaayyymmmnnnn. S class aura much? This one's dangerously smart too... and a very familiar feeling of dark mischief. Xellos is as dangerous as an ally as he is an enemy, and Kurama is generally... all right with that. He enjoys their polite battles and vague statements... Oh yes, he noticed him taking the music box, but isn't going to say a thing. He is really curious to see what Xellos is going to do with it.

In a way, he sees himself becoming like Xellos give or take another thousand years... just seeking amusement and meddling where he feels like.

Elphaba Thropp - BWAHA! They have come to a sort of alliance over pokemon of all things. When he first met Elphaba, he was quite ready to break out the rose whip as she had a nine tail for a pet. They had quite a long discussion, bridging from kitsune, to Animals and politics. He's not sure whether to be a little angry that Elphaba has given up on her situation when clearly, she considers who she's protecting so important, or to leave it alone as something he doesn't have all the details of. He would enjoy talking to her further and learning about her world in depth.

Schuldig - Seemed quite interested in creating a bit of chaos, claimed it was out of boredom, but Kurama doubts any such statement. Professes a skill with firearms and speed... quite an interesting demeanor, but Kurama is hesitant to form any opinions just yet. He did notice the man had quite a few connections already.

Toboe - Four-legged friend indeed. After his kitsune incident, they've bonded over the oddest things, like the annoyance of burrs and the under appreciation of opposable thumbs. He thinks Toboe is naive and a little sweet.

More as I remember or play more... Onto canon next. T.T
