Character: River Tam
Series: Firefly (TV), http://www.fireflywiki.org/

Canon: Quick back-story. Earth-that-was got used up. Folks move to a new Space Western solar system with laser guns and covered wagons. Civil war leaves the evil Alliance in charge.

When River was a young genius, an Alliance group convinced River's parents to send her to a special school called the Academy. Her family got regular letters from her, and no one thought anything was wrong, except for her brother Simon, who noted strange spelling errors and references. Cracking the code, he figured something creepy and evil was happening, and gave up his career to rescue her.

Simon smuggles his cryo-frozen sister onto the transport ship Serenity. While still a genius, she is now psychotic, cryptic, emotionally exposed, and often hallucinatory. She has a dancer's body and movements, stringy brown hair, penetrating eyes, and a mournful expression. Her speech can be sing-song, philosophical, and unnerving all at once.

Passengers on Serenity don't know what to make of her. The engineer Kaylee treats her like a little sister. Jayne, a low-life, sells River and her brother out, for the money and since she slashed him across the chest with a knife that one time. She said he "looks better in red."

Dear diary, today I was kidnapped by zombies never to be seen again. It was the best day ever.

No, no, no, I'm confused and broken again. That is another mind. Not my own. He's gone now with the rest of them.

Simon says this is to help me get better. A camp for those like me. The zombies who are not alive and need brains. Their eyes are empty and their embrace is cold.

But they aren't real. Just reflections on the lake. The undersides of crocodiles. Light bending and dappled. With no cerebral, cardiac, or pulmonary activity, they can't move or shamble. Or talk. Simon says that I hear too much. I can't make it go away. But the dead talk, and say true things. Things that tear and maim.

Gorram, I need to make some friends.

I want someone to deconstruct biblical hermeneutics and chronology with. Or play jacks with.

I can't be picky here. That boy's brother gave his life for him. She died twice. The corruption he fights is his own soul. I will close myself to this. I will wake up. I will be demure. I will demur. Put up a wall inside myself. I see who the murderer is. On the wrong side of the wall. Afraid to touch that.

I feel like dancing.

Character: Gertrude Yorkes
Series: Runaways, Runaways on Wikipedia.

Canon: Gertrude Yorkes was one of the six children who rebelled against their parents after learning they were a group of super-villains called the Pride. Out of the group she's the sarcastic one, providing them with humor while her pet deinonchyus, Old Lace, provides the brawn. As the daughter of time travellers, her knowledge of history and present current events are a source of most of her commentary, such as her "superhero name" Arsenic is based off of a play/noir film. Since she's set between series she's currently dating Chase Stein, the jock son of mad scientists, and has no idea of what is going on in the current series. Her favorite past time is mocking, and her self-described two evils of the world are low fat ice cream and non-Mac computers.

It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

Okay, so it's one thing if my parents are evil in that costume wearing, super-villain, let's give the earth over to monsters that proved you should have been listening in Synagogue and why didn't you Gertrude? way. But summer camp too? The place you're supposed to dump us off so you can back to business? What next: Six Flags? The Smithsonian? Disneyland was a given ever since the seventies but, really, if I didn't know better I'd think the politicians were lying when they say children are our most precious resource. Like Soylent Green, I bet.

If it weren't for Old Lace and an extra casing of dental floss I would have given it up as a lost cause. A shot gun and track suit isn't enough for a re-make of Evil Dead, no matter what that stupid P.A. says. And here Nico and the rest were so worried about Bruiser that I had to sneak out to get her back even though, knowing Mol, she would have started a tea party playdate with some of these zombies. I'm so killing Chase when I get back since it was his idea to make out in the Frog and he should share the blame So now I'm stuck here too, with the moving corpses close enough to the botox freaks off Sunset that I actually feel homesick for L.A.

I hate babysitting.

Character: Kishimoto Kei
Series: GANTZ (http://www.gantz.tv/)

Canon: Like most of her series' cast, Kishimoto Kei
was plucked from the brink of death (she slashed her wrists in the
bathtub during a fit of depression over disappointing her mother) and
transported to the apartment occupied by Gantz, a mysterious black
sphere who made her a competitor in the alien-killing "game" it runs,
with her life on the line. Unlike most of her fellow competitors, Kei
survived--that is to say, her suicide attempt was unsuccessful. That
puts Kei in a unique position--while all the Gantz competitors are
technically copies, she's the only one who has to deal directly with
this fact, as her original self lives on in her original life.

Kei starts out, by and large, a somewhat mopey, melancholy girl.
She's also prone to embarrassment and often trips over her words.
However, she picks up a bit of spunk (and backbone) when she decides
that her copy status has freed her from the obligations and pressures
of her previous life. Amongst the competitors in Gantz' game, she is
closest to Kurono Kei, whose apartment she lives in as a "pet;" and
Katou Masaru, upon whom she has had quite a crush ever since he saved
her from being raped by a Yakuza thug.

I, well...this is the second time I've woken up
somewhere completely unfamiliar without knowing how I got there. I
guess it's a little better than the first time since I
didn't wake up, you know...completely naked? But I'm still
confused. Did...did Gantz do this? Usually it sends us to places in
Tokyo...and I don't even know what I'm supposed to be hunting.

But, again--I wasn't naked, and no one else was around anyway, so at
least that's a plus. But my suit's not working and my gun got
switched with a normal shotgun, so I'm still kinda worried.

I'm...I'm not gonna let it get to me, though! If I'm here,
maybe Katou-kun or Kurono-kun are here too! If they are, I've gotta
find them--and if not, I need to figure out a way to get out of here
so I can get back. For Katou-kun's sake, if nothing else. I need to
stay by his side! There seems to be a big barrier or something
around...wherever I am, so I can't just walk out, though...but honestly, that's way better than an invisible line that
kills you if you cross it.

Anyway. My first step: locating other people! I think I see some
buildings off to my right; I'll go check there first. But how do I
find out if this is something Gantz did? Just ask "Is anyone else
here dead?"

...

...Nevermind, I think I just had that question
answered. Um.

Character: Renji Abarai
Series: Bleach

Canon: Renji is a shinigami and a vice-captain of
the 6th division of Soul Society. He is a very powerful fighter. Renji
was born in Area 78, one of the more dangerous and poorer regions of
Soul Society, where the children banded together to struggle to
survive. It was there that he met Rukia for the first time, and she
joined his circle of friends. Renji became very close to Rukia over
the years, and one day, they made a promise with each other to both
become shinigami. They went to school together and remained close
until Rukia was adopted into the Kuchiki family (a noble family) 40
years ago, when they grew apart. Renji is rather loud and rough around
the edges. He is proud, brash, and aggressive. Renji does not back
away from a fight, and he hates to lose. He is also very loyal, and he
still cares about Rukia even though it conflicts with his duty.

Dammit, Rukia!

What the hell were you thinking, coming here? Bad enough that you seem
to have gotten yourself into a mess with some human stealing your
powers, but why did you choose to go on vacation in the middle of a
swamp?

Good ole' Renji gets sent down here to drag your butt back where you
belong and put that interloper in his place… easy job, nothing to
worry about, they said…

So, I came. Yeah, yeah…

The next thing I know, I'm getting knocked out from behind and shoved
into some kind of a false body. It…uh… doesn't fit well, though. I
think it's too small in certain places… It makes me really
uncomfortable. DON'T think of commenting on that!

Then some moron runs up to me and starts screaming his head off about
some 'bushy death fungus' that's growing on my face. So, I run over to
see what the hell's growing on me (because some of the stuff from that
lake I landed in was really nasty), only to see that there ain't
anything on my face! The idiot was talking about my tattoos!

I was ready to crush him, but the next thing I know, he's running up
and spraying me with something that burns. I couldn't see for awhile,
but I managed to punch him in the head anyway. Heh… Only problem is,
my eyebrows seem to have fallen out now. What the hell was that stuff?

I've had enough of this shit, Rukia. I'm ready to take you home. And
kill that fuckin' asshole who took your powers. So, quit having fun
with all of these zombie things and get your ass over here!

Character: Kotobuki Sukiyabashi
Series: Clamp School Defenders Duklyon

Canon: Kotobuki apparently is a very polite student attending Clamp Gakuen (Academy/School). He is quiet and shy, as well as rather clumsy, both physically, and emotionally.

When not in class (A large portion of the time actually,) he is the leader of the Imonoyama Shopping District Association that wishes to take over the world, but because, of course, doing such immediately would be stressful, they tend to start by trying to take part of the school! He is capable of summoning very weak monsters to distract the heroes while He and His Association Escape flee Live to conquest another day!

Ah… this place… very much isn’t the infirmary, nor any sort of medical facility at all. Even if it was, the fact that the waiting room trees are several stories high and many of them are oozing fast quantities of potent green slime… it is very disturbing. Moreover, there is the horrible state of the local people, which seem to be shambling about drugged and missing various assorted limbs, organs, and occasionally, their clothing.

And the fact that there is a very big lake, that glows a variety of different colors depending on what angle of elevation you look at it from (I saw it appearing to be bright pink from this one tree I escaped the very scary locals in,) is not on my map of school, I can only come to the conclusion that this is a job for the Paranormal Investigation Club, and not a simple not-villainous student like me. As it appears, the campus has left me behind and I have stumbled into a very large virtual reality, or possibly a cleverly disguised Tardis, or most probable, a wormhole leading to America.

The fact the campus has a wormhole, or anything else I listed for that matter, does not surprise me. As so far we have had a plague of female peacocks, evilyet very pretty attempting to steal the various portions of our school, and even party for every single day of the year essentially. We even have hospitals, post offices, and adorable bakeries, not just adorable things, nor just bakeries, but the very two fused! How many schools can say they can either? Few, if any others can. Therefore, I would not put it past the Imonoyama zaibatsu with their love of doing things just because they can to install a distortion in space or a very advanced Artificial Reality.

Oh, and fellow campers, If I disappear for any great amount of time, probably during the appearance of a very evil fellow, please assume I am seeking medical attention immediately. Sorry for such a burden as not being able to help you combat sexyevil forces.

In addition, I am interested if the camp has any sort of spandex wearing taskforce for guarding the camp from takeover, I wish to assist them to their demise.

[Private]Heh, you may be bright Nobura Imonoyama, but I am far superior! "Camp" Fuck You Die? Ha! *takes out magic marker and writes all over his brochure* "CLAMP! FUCK YOU DIE!" Thought you could hide the fabled Clamp School Detention Center in Louisiana? Sorry, but this time you will lose! Moreover, those Duklyon is no longer a threat! Moreover, even the campers will not suspect me, for I have thought ahead, and told them that I got here by accident! Thus when I attack, little will make a connection between me and myself!

The Clamp Fuck You Die now belongs to The Imonoyama Shopping District Association! ...Or it will be once I figure out how to take control of the campers within it, and crush the competitor who apparently beat me here. This "Across" shall be smited in many many ways, involving the use of one of my Evil Beasts (Oh, they’re so cute and cuddly! <3)! And once I control this Clamp camp, not even the ever-lovable Eri Chusonji will be able to resist me! :> [/private]

[Private to Across Members] You have no chance to survive! Make your time! I don’t care if your leader looks and sounds somewhat like me, I refuse to believe I have a long lost brother with periwinkle hair.[/private]

Character: Larxene
Series: Kingdom Hearts www.kh2.co.uk

Canon: Larxene's quite simply an unfeeling bitch. Well, mostly.
She was with a man named Marluxia in their plot to manipulate Sora's
memories and overthrow the Organization. That was thwarted when Axel
betrayed her and set their pawn free. She wound up pissing off Sora
greatly and causing the Keyblade hero to end her life. She's snarky,
easily pissed off and highly aggressive. However, she does come on
good terms with certain people, so if her mocking doesn't hurt you,
it's probably because she's got a soft spot. Or you're STUPID. Oh
yeah, she's also well briefed on cliches.

This is all STUPID.

The plan was going perfectly. Wipe Sora's memories, replace them with
that witch's fakes and he's our slave. But NOOOO stupid Axel and his
sexystupid self decided to betray us and let that witch go.
Next thing I know, I got a keyblade through my stomach and I'm DEAD.

Or maybe not. Then again, with a name like Camp Fuck You Die I might as well be.

People always say that there are things worse than death. But right
now I hate those people, because I'm stuck in some STUPID camp with a
bunch of LOSERS, Like for instance these zombies. No matter how many
times I zapped them with lightning or threw my kunai at them (I mean,
I unloaded *36* of 'em on one of those ugly creatures!) they
won't frickin DIE! Hmph. I'm not too fond of this welcome committee.
They're stiffer than the stiffs back at the Organization.

WAIT A DAMN SECOND.

This is all some test from the Organization! Maybe to escape from
their jolly level of hell I have to beat up these stupid zombies and
kill that big tentacle monster as a boss creature--pffft. Yeah. SURE.
Probably not their style, I don't see how killing the zombies would
show my loyalty to rejecting both light and darkness in any fashion,
even if they're lacking in the heart department. Like that loser Sora.
STILL can't believe that loser beat me!

Bleh. I think I'll take my chances with the crowd of losers, thanks.

Character: Dearka Elthman
Series: Gundam SEED

Canon: ZAFT former-elite soldier, now-turned personal aide and second-in-command to one Yzak Jule. The more cool-headed counterpart, Dearka is often the calmer (and brunt) of Yzak's anger, whatever the cause might be. Sarcasm and bravado are generally his reaction to most things, but when it's time for a serious conflict, the steadfast gunner emerges to watch his partner's back. What characterization in SEED canon he has is mainly defined by his relationship with Yzak.

......actually, this strip sums it up.

First it was that Asuka boy. Then Athrun. Then reports of Kira and some FAITH guy. Then that za Burrel kid. And even Lacus.

You get sick of stamping bloody 'MIA' on personnel files after a while.

So when Dullindal said "Well, Mr. Elthman, it looks like we might have to send in the reserves," I perked up, but wasn't exactly a hundred percent eager to accept. Anyone eager on waltzing into a deathtrap location that's eaten up half of the army's elite needs to get his brain checked. And shot for idiocy.

Then he mentioned Yzak.

Okay, so maybe brains are highly overrated.

Which is how a guy ends up stuck going commando in a place straight out of a bad horror flick, punching holes in zombie heads with a shotgun. What, ZAFT blow too many credits on the war to spare a few on better handguns? Noooo. "Resource management," it's called. "Nothing to do with your demotion at all," it's called.

Resource management can take their puincy calls and shove it up their collective buttholes. I'll even volunteer to help. And take pictures for posterity.

I mean, walking corpses with bad breath I can handle. I've been at worse frat parties. Tinky Winky gorillas I can handle. Even the technicolor bird poop I can handle.

"No-sex rule"?

Fucking hell.

Character: Alice
Series: American McGee's Alice

Canon: We all know Alice from Alice in Wonderland…
but American McGee style is a little different. A few years have
passed, and we find Alice being held in an insane asylum (the older
ones, where lobotomy was okay and torture was considered to be an
effective treatment for most psychological ailments) more than a
little unhinged. The tragic death of her parents drove her off the
deep end, and now her perception of the world - and Wonderland - has
been drastically altered. It's a dark, twisted place, where madness is
the norm. Alice is called back to a nightmarish Wonderland to take on
the deranged Red Queen with precious few allies to help her.
Alice is, as always, polite, cultured and inquisitive - but with a
newfound detachment and affinity for bloodshed and the bizarre that
make it easy for her to slice the Red Queen's card henchmen into
ribbons. With a drastically altered Cheshire cat (who looks like he
might be decomposing and speaks in cryptic riddles), Alice is prepared
to take down her enemies in Wonderland one at a time, perhaps to make
everything in her world right again once she's through.

Journal ~ I think sometime in August, I can't quite be sure.

I must say, a field and some cabins is quite a jarring change from my
previous whereabouts - getting brutally beaten by the Duchess… or
eaten by her, I fear, if she had gotten her way. I am tempted
to blame the Cat for this - he has the most inconvenient sense of
timing.

This doesn't look like any part of Wonderland I've ever known.

There are other children here, but not a single one looks to be in the
right place. Children are beastly creatures - I'd rather not have to
deal with them. If one gets too troublesome, I shall have to cut off
his nose. Noses aren't vital to survival, so it would be an adequate
warning, and I would have a gift to present to the Cat. I believe he
would quite like it.

Ah, is that a monster I see? Garish, slobbering, and in a state of
decomposition. I must be in Wonderland still. Now that
is a comfort, or something familiar, at the very least.

The Cat told me once that a croquet mallet could be like a billy club
whenever I wanted it to be. While I do miss the weight of the mallet
in my hands, I'll simply have to make do with a tree branch instead.
If I'm lucky, I'll find something metal and sharp later.
