Character: Jiraiya
Series: Naruto
Age: 52 (or so)
Job: Onsen Manager
Canon: Naruto is a series about ninja being, well, ninja. So there
are battles, traps, blood, death and even a little political intrigue. Good
clean fun.
Jiraiya is rather famous in the ninja world. As one of the "Legendary Three"
his name is widely known among the ninja of Konoha and elsewhere. On first
impression Jiraiya appears as a perverted old man with an enormous ego. He
is the author of a pornographic series of books and loves to look at
attractive young women, the bigger the breasts the better. To that end he
has become a prolific peeping tom and is often found near the onsen or other
areas where scantily clad women gather with his telescope or hiding in a
bush. As for his ego, it is most clearly demonstrated when he's introducing
or describing himself.
But under the outward appearance is a shrewd and powerful ninja and pity on
the fool who doesn't catch on quickly enough. Jiriaya has earned his
reputation and many of his boasts about his ninja skills are less boasts
than statements of fact. He's responsible for a fair portion of Naruto's
training and is very good at gathering information.
A barrier, eh? That explains the disappearances. Strong too, damn.
Things never do turn out simple, do they?
Behold! The great Jiraiya has arrived! This handsome epitome of manliness
has been chosen to take charge of the onsen. No worries, your onsen is in
the most capable hands. No need to line up to thank me all at once, ladies.
♥ There's more than enough of me to go around. As the new manager of
the onsen I am at your service. Any request at all, I'm happy to help. My
first order of business will be to procure the softest, fluffiest towels I
can find so that all of you beauties don't chafe your supple skin. Only the
best for the patrons of Jiraiya's Onsen!
Now, I was thinking of getting some sake to celebrate my arrival. Perhaps
one of you fine examples of womanhood would like to join me for a drink and
a soak. I'm eager to get to know all of you better. Such charming people
must have such interesting lives to talk about. And I must ask one question;
is the onsen the only part of this camp that isn't infested with filth and
the walking undead? It must be utterly horrid for you all! I meant what I
said earlier. If you need anything at all you can come to me. If it is in my
power to grant your wish I shall.
And before any of you ask, no, this offer does not extend to the men in
camp. You can take care of yourselves, now shoo.
Poll So? Character: Otacon (Hal Emmerich)
Series: Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 & 4 (
Wiki-link!)
Age: 34
Job: Moral/Tech Support
Canon: Otacon is a master engineer, computer hacker, and
probably the biggest anime fanboy ever. He designed the ultimate
doomsday mecha called "Metal Gear" because he watched one too many
Gundam episodes. No, really, there's even a monologue. His anime love
could have blown up a sizeable chunk of the world. So, after learning
that Metal Gear had nuclear strike capabilities, he became a close
ally to Snake and later helped form the anti-Metal Gear group
"Philanthropy".
Otacon is the brains behind the Snake-Otacon team. He supplies
technical information, advice for the mission, and in MGS2 he decides
that Snake is in dire need of inspiration and comes prepared with a
bunch of inspirational quotes -- and botches the explanation of every
last one. Thus, we learn that Otacon fails at philosophy. He shows
extreme confidence in his area of expertise (technology), but tends to
be uncertain and stammer his way through everything else. He's also
very sentimental, being responsible for the well-known quote, "Snake,
do you think love can bloom on the battlefield?". Oh yeah. He's the
wife of the relationship. And he's a dork.
Hello, campers. I'm your new councellor -- you can call me 'Otacon'.
I've been brought in because it seems you 'have difficulty keeping
your computers in line', whatever that means. Hiring someone with my
qualifications to deal with minor PC glitches seems to be a bit over
the top, really. You'll have to bear with me, I'm a little new at this
-- I don't usually do the field ops, or work on assignments like this.
Actually, you might be acquainted with an associate of mine, 'Snake',
who I was surprised to find at a summer camp -- really, Snake,
children? I didn't think you'd make a hobby out of babysitting.
I had to do a fairly lengthy questionnaire before I was permitted to
work here. It had some off-the-wall questions, like:
-"What is your blood type?" (What does this have to do with anything?)
-"Are you/do you idolize/have you ever wished to be Michael Jackson?" (No.)
-"Why?" (Due to time constraints, my answer was 'why not?')
I can't say I see the relevence of this information to a camp, but I'm
sure the director knows best. I passed with flying colours, naturally,
and have also been assigned as your motivational speaker. While I
think my skills would be better suited elsewhere, I just so happen to
have some inspirational quotes of my own left over from a previous
mission with Snake -- too bad the director asked that I use some from
her own personal stock.
Let's see what we've got here... "Men are like pennies: two-faced and
worthless."
...Uh, on second thought, why don't we save that for later?
I'm looking forward to meeting and working with all of you. And,
Snake? Please, try to stay in radio contact when you're on a
mission -- we weren't sure what had happened to you, we were worried.
Poll So? Character: Hara Akiha
Series:
Hanazakari No Kimitachi E (HanaKimi)
Age: 25
Job: Paparazzi Extraordinaire That Guy Who Takes Pictures For The Yearbook
Canon: Akiha is a sugar-addicted, overly-confident, famous world-class photographer who drives a VW Beetle half his size. He is also divorced, openly bisexual and one of his favorite pastimes consists in
pouncinghuggingkissinggropingandstripping one Umeda Hokuto; former upperclasman and unrequited love interest.
Behind his cheerful (and sometimes dorky) exterior lies a romantic dedicated man who takes his job to heart, he is very observant and understanding when it comes to people (even if he won't let anyone into his heart that easily) and he can also be something of a manipulative bastard if the situation demands it. Prideful as he is, Akiha will take on any challenges issued to him.
*Note: Permission was given to mention Umeda in the app.
When they first contacted me to tell me my talented presence was required in America, I felt happy, honoured and excited all at the same time; I'd never been to Louisiana before and I've heard fabulous things about New Orleans. "This is my chance to capture all of them!" I thought. ... But... Now that I'm here, I don't know whether to feel indignated, confused or scared. ...Or all at the same time.
But swamps, gorillas and all smelly things considered, I suppose this place isn't so bad. You've got a Pie Tree! And... a Pie Tree! ...And also a Pie Tree! You'll have to understand, we don't have those back in Japan and I wonder if I can take some seeds back home, because the pie is really really good. Even though the blueberry one made my tongue all fuzzy.
Literally.
Anyway! My name is Hara Akiha, I'm a photographer and I was hired to take care of the pictures for the Yearbook project your kind Director is working on. I made it very clear that I'm a professional and I like picking the models I'm going to be working with by myself, but she made me realize that sometimes it's better to go with the flow. Change is necessary every now and then and it certainly can't hurt more than her chainsaw. You won't mind me taking a few things from the Underwear Tree, right? She let me keep my equipment, but I'm afraid the rest of my luggage was eaten by her pet... something. I was too busy running to check what it was.
So, now that I've introduced myself, why don't we start taking pictures? Since these are going to be for a Yearbook I want them to look the most natural as possible! You, kid! Yeah, you. Why don't you try shooting a toucan for me? Stay that way and don't mind the camera! Yeeees, perfect. And you over there? I'm sure you wouldn't mind standing closer to the shore? Come on! Let the tentacle embrace you, right, juuust like that. Great! Oh, and could you -- UMEDA-SEMPAI IS THAT YOU? Why didn't you tell me you were here before? Don't try to hide, Sempai I know you're there~! ♥
Poll So? Character: Mwu La Fllaga
Series:
Gundam SEED DestinyCharacter Age: 31
Job: Motivational Speaker
Canon: In SEED, Mwu La Fllaga is a storied soldier of the Earth Alliance Forces and member of the Archangel's (the main ship) crew, whose seamless transitions from stark realism to playful sarcasm lend him to the noble cause of emo eradication. He is loyal, protective of his beliefs and of the people he cares about, and strongly believes in giving people the opportunity to prove themselves. He's also a little bit of a ladies man and a charmer.
Mwu "dies" in SEED's final episode after getting in front of a positron beam in his Gundam and exploding. Only that's not enough to keep him down, because he returns in Destiny as a plot hole by the name of Neo Lorrnoke. He somehow survived and had his memories altered so he'd be a nice, subservient member of the EAF. None of his personality traits remain; he's motivated by status and victory, he lacks his token light, and he endangers someone he cares about for the sake of duty. He is one of the villains for the first 30ish episodes.
All of this changes once he's taken aboard the Archangel when he becomes Mwu again, only without the memories. He's later welcomed as a member of their crew and is given a garish mobile suit which he later uses to ... get in front of a positron beam aimed at the Archangel. Only this time he lives and, as an added bonus, he remembers his past. Aww.
Mwu is being taken from the end of Destiny so he'll be like SEED Mwu with some Neo undertones my kittens.
Excellent work, kids! Great! You've managed to match the camp's atmosphere to its name - not an easy task by any stretch. Extra credit to the especially negative among you!
I almost hate to say it, but it seems I've been brought here to undo all your hard work. I know, I know; some of you like junk heaps, and I'm not judging you, but I have a job to do. The name's Mwu La Fllaga and.. you might say I'm a man who makes the impossible possible. I'd like to keep it that way, too, so feel free to cooperate.
Now, I went through the records last night and I must say you're quite a group. I can see why I was brought here, but kids? Some people would consider those magnetic flash blizzards a good sign you're going a little far with your woe-is-us routine. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying there's no reason for anybody to get depressed here. I know I wouldn't be happy to find the meal I just ate cost me a key part of my anatomy, and it is a little unnerving to be repeatedly outwitted by the wildlife, but look on the bright side guys - you're all still alive! As long as that's true, happiness is possible here.
Look, I'm not exactly thrilled to be here either - you don't see me running around shouting, "hooray, camp!" - but that's no excuse to be complacent. Come on, kids, there's no reason not to work to make the best of this place. And before you start to moan about how the Camp Director doesn't help matters by constantly playing around with the fabrics of time and space, let me say this. She's capable of much more than she's thrown at you so surely you can concede that things could be worse. I mean, you could even say she has an interesting sense of humour. If you'd all just step back and try laughing at yourselves, I'm sure-
...
Hey! Hey, kids?
...
yeah, uhh. The Camp Director, huh? What an irredeemable person. Heh.
Uh oh.
I still get paid, right?
Poll So? Character: Tsuzuki Asato
Series: Yami no Matsuei
Character Age: physically 26, actually a little over 100
Job: Selfless Food-Taster
Canon: Tsuzuki is a riddle wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in several
thin layers of pastry, fried until golden-brown and sprinkled with
powdered sugar. That is to say that while the guy has issues, they aren’t
readily apparent. Sure, he’ll look like an overly-easygoing slacker with a
sweet tooth, but that’s nothing a swift kick in the pants can’t fix.
Provided you’re willing to deal with puppy eyes and copious whining
afterwards. Fortunately his newest partner in the Shinigami business,
Kurosaki Hisoka, is always ready to keep him in line.
That said, Tsuzuki’s better at his job than you might think. He might be a
little too softhearted for a Death God, but he can spring into action like
nobody’s business. Backed by no less than twelve summons and a vast array
of other spells including fuda: 'paper charms', some of which come
to life (his often take the form of beautiful birds), Tsuzki can on
occasion display nerves of steel and a shaper mind than he’s credited
with. He is perfectly capable of defending himself.
…provided he doesn’t fall into another crippling bout of self-loathing,
complete with angst-ridden flashbacks of a mysterious and bloody
past.
Aaaah~ French custards, bread pudding, chicory coffee and sweet pastries,
beignets and cream pie! ♥
How could I focus on work, knowing that all these wonderful deserts were
being cooked, served, and eaten so close to the place we were going?
Hisoka, I know I was supposed to follow you as soon as I filled out the
last of the staff paperwork, but there was so much of it, and I was
supposed to write it by hand and they wanted me to sign in
blood.
I didn’t even have to leave the room. The guy on the speakerphone offered
to order in for me as soon as I mentioned food. You really can’t blame me
for this one. It all sounded so good, even you would have wanted a taste!
And now that I’ve spent all our funds, it’ll be much easier for both of us
to focus on work…
Okay, okay, so I might have overdone it a little. Even so, food isn’t
supposed to make you that sleepy. I wonder... I was
completely out before we got to the camp, and... well, I don’t think I’ve
quite made it yet. Too many trees, not enough people to take my luggage
and find me a warm place to spend the night.
But if you’ve gotten this messenger bird, I won't be far behind! In fact I
shouldn't be long at all now. The woods are getting thinner, and I think I
can hear water running. And now I can see-- but it's- Is that
chocolate?!
It is! Warm Valrhona chocolate sauce gushing up out of the ground, just
like I knew the gods always intended~ Hisoka, you have to see this. I
can't walk away. If I so much as close my eyes, this heavenly gift might
disappear. Change of plans, okay? I'll stay right here, and you can come
find me. ....It could be important to the case. It's definitely unnatural,
right?
And you could bring some empty bottles. Please?
