Character:
Tamaki Suoh.
Series:
Ouran High School Host Club.
Character Age: High school second year (the series constantly repeats this school year).
Tamaki Suoh is the king, founder, and "daddy" of the Ouran High School Host Club, a social organization for Tamaki and five pretty-boy club members with too much time on their hands to entertain pretty girls with too much time on their hands. (To net the most "customers," each club member fits a different archetype, from "the cute shouta" to "the not-so-ambiguously gay twins.") Tamaki is an irrepressible romantic flirt, prone to sweeping girls off their feet with sparkling pronouncements of admiration... and he means everything he says. However, Tamaki can be utterly oblivious to the machinations of people around him, and is clueless about normal life: like most Ouran students, Tamaki is super-rich and isolated from anything but the best. Nonetheless, energetic Tamaki tries to understand and enjoy strange things like "the rumored commoners' instant coffee," "commoners' supermarkets," and even commoner Haruhi Fujioka, the scholarship student who occasionally succeeds at knocking Tamaki into the real world. Tamaki's reaction to the rare ego puncture? To assume the fetal position and sulk daintily among the roses.
While Tamaki has his moments of sweetness, brilliance, and heroism, and truly does enjoy helping people, he does it all in his own special way... that way just happens to involve dressing up in expensive costumes, flattering the girls around him, and the sporadic bout of crossdressing.
Sample Post:
Lady Director, I understand the proliferation of gorillas now! It's like the commoners' saying: if one were to put an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters with an infinite number of bananas to eat chastely, of course, so as not to upset the ladies, one of them would eventually reproduce the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet - the only work in all of history with the passion and power to capture the spirit of true romance! But milady, if your heart seeks a touch of poetry, abandon your infinite army of violet typists: I, Tamaki Suoh, shall be all the Shakespeare you require! But, soft! What primate through yonder window breaks? It is the gorilla, and the Director is the glorious window repair lady!
Now that I think of it, winning your heart and my way back to Kyouya's summer mansion might be easier accomplished if I could see you and your peerless beauty before I complimented it, milady - perhaps over a cup of Darjeeling? Lake water? The tears of innocent children tossed to zombies? Alas, until we meet, I shall be forced to constantly lament my separation from your eyes as lively as campers running from the lake, from your lips as soft as a zombie's touch...
And until that fateful meeting, madam, I shall be attending to the dozens of lovely ladies attending this fine institution! Although the gorilla rummaging through my personal belongings seems adamant that I solve the mystery of milady's fiancee's death (a lady in mourning? Madam Director, a heart as generous and... prone to manipulating exotic creatures to become psychotic killers should not remain in such suffering for long!)... I cannot bear to see this camp's lovely gentlewomen unoccupied for long when there's a wide variety of people for them to associate with! Why, in just a matter of moments, I have succeeded in assembling a collection of appropriate companions for such elegant young ladies. This purple fellow here is the strong, silent type, these tentacles are very frisky, and these zombies - you two! You two with the ... advanced state of decomposition and atrocious posture! Forbidden brotherly love does not entail actually biting each others' heads off!
There are still a few problems to be worked out, but on behalf of this newly assembled Camp Fuck You Die Host Club...
Welcome.
