S-S-S-Sample Post
Proposed Character: Katagiri Himeko from Pani Poni Dash!
Character Age: Unspecified. Is a first-year high school student.
Canon: Pani Poni Dash is the strange tale of Peach Moon Academy--just your average Japanese high school, straddling the line between normalcy and madness, and probably leaning a bit more in the direction of the latter. One of Peach Moon's more colorful denizens is Katagiri Himeko, member of First Year Class C and student of child genius Rebecca "Becky" Miyamoto.
Himeko is a "wastefully energetic" girl, enthusiastic about everything but good at nothing. A poster child for ADHD, Himeko is unable to concentrate on any one subject for very long and is prone to going off on tangents, making bizarre word associations, and getting her brain fried just by people being too intelligent while in her vicinity. She's also prone to getting inappropriately affectionate with Becky, whom she finds irresistibly cute.
Himeko has several odd vocal tics. For example, she uses the words "omega" and "maximum" (in English) for emphasis. Her biggest (and weirdest) speech habit, however, is "maho"--a nonsense word that she can wedge into a sentence almost anywhere. "Maho" is so...fundamental to Himeko's being that it sometimes floats in big red characters above her head, quite visible (and tangible) to herself and others.
Sample Post: OMEGA EXCITING! I drank out of this bubbly ominous flask I found in Becky's lab and now I'm here! I'm not sure where "here" is or how I got here, exactly, but when I woke up I was lying in a smoking crater with luggage and airplane bits scattered all around me! Now that I think about it, I kinda remember being on a wing and making faces at a guy who looked like Captain Kirk.
While I was dusting myself off, a bunch of grape apes came to the crater and started tossing some of the suitcases around, slamming them on the floor and against tree trunks and stuff. It was pretty neat, but then something kinda shiny and glowy caught my eye and I got all distracted! Maximum weird! So I followed it into some awesome creepy woods and found out that it was a ghost! She said her name was Reason and that this place had killed her, and then done some really bad things to her corpse. You know, "reason" sounds a lot like "treason!" Does that mean that betraying your country is a smart thing to do? But then why does everyone get so mad about it? Maybe they think it makes them look dumb! She started to explain exactly what those things were, but she was using a bunch of big words really fast and I blacked out. Again!
Waking up wasn't as fun this time, 'cause I had a headache and my maho was missing. It was right there when I was in the woods, but now it's gone! Who knows what sort of trouble it's getting into without me to watch over it...! Aaah, I must find it quickly, lest it--AND THE WORLD--be plunged into grave dang--hey, cabins! Is this going to be like that M. Night Shaman King guy's movie about the village in the woods? If so, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD, BACKWARDS VILLAGERS! IT'S REALLY AN OMEGA WONDERFUL PLACE! THE "MONSTERS" ARE JUST BULLDOZERS!
Oh, me? My name is Katagiri Himeko, and I come in peace! A fine maho to you and yours--
Ah! It's back! The world is saved...but for how long?
