Character: Ned Bigby
Series:
Ned's Declassified School Survival GuideCharacter Age: 14
Canon: Ned Bigby wants one thing in life, and that is to not only survive middle school, but to actually enjoy it. And thus, the Guide was created. Despite being famous for his handy tips, which cover everything from research papers to insane weasels, Ned is often forgetful, obsessive, lazy, and... really, incredibly spastic. But he's redeemingly clever, upbeat, and generally a nice guy, despite his tendency to capslock. He does his best to help out his friends and fellow students, but in the end it's usually Ned himself who ends up figuring out the real moral of the episode. Mostly after being electrocuted or locked in a back alley or getting part of his head shaved bald. Such is life.
Ned enjoys breaking the fourth wall, being innadress'd (a secret, guilty pleasure), consulting janitors for romantic advice, taking long walks on the beach with his girlfriend, Moze, and creating wacky hijinx with his best friend, Cookie.

Sample Post:
...This is definitely the weirdest dream I've ever had. Except for the one where I was a Power Ranger caught in a death match pudding eating contest with Oprah. Or the one where I was on a reality show and had to memorize Sean Connery's top 100 favorite shades of green and then pierce his ear with a mechanical pencil.
...Okay, all things considered, I guess this is one isn't so bad. But I don't have time to be running around in my subconscious all night, because tomorrow is Moze's last pool party of the summer~ I have to be at the top of my game if I want to impress her with my MANLINESS and AWESOME CANNONBALL SKILLS.
So, let's make this quick! Ned's Impromptu Guide to Surviving Crazy Dreams is a-go! Your goal is to finish whatever task the giant enemy crab/laser dragon/lawyer wants so you can return to your normal, scheduled sleep. First, make sure you're really dreaming. Cookie ended up going to school in his underwear once, and, well. He's never really been the same.
Anyway. Clue number one... zombies. Common theme in uncreative dreams. Score one for team 'no more free range hard boiled eggs with Nutella before bed.' So delicious... yet so evil. Clue number two: Dancing chimichangas. Everybody knows chimichangas can't salsa! Check out the pun I snuck in there. Nice.
Clue number three: Pirate ships. Cool enough to get their own paragraph? I think yes! Admit it, At World's End was AWESOME. Any random sword-slinging and/or kraken-slaying is just your brain trying to tell you, hey, that Keira Knightly, she's pretty hot. Do I get 100 years of bad girlfriend karma for saying that? I'M SORRY MOZE. I DIDN'T REALLY MEAN IT (much)! Alternatively, pirate ships could mean your dream is actually a horrible nightmare and in a few minutes it'll be DAVY JONES TIME. Iiii really can't help you with that one.
So, now your goal is to finish whatever task the giant enemy crab/laser dragon/lawyer wants -- I already said that. And I usually pride myself on my dream originality! Alright, well, you get the idea. Rescue that princess! Dodge those barrels! Give that cat a cheeseburger! And, barring any extra complications, that should do it. Right? Right. You'll be back to a dreamless sleep in no time, and you'll wake up rested and refreshed so you can OWN THE POOL PARTY with your Chickenfight prowess.
Also, pro tip, guys -- don't milk the robot cows. No matter how hard you try? They won't make soft serve. I speak from experience.
