Character: Michael J. Caboose.
Series: Red vs Blue.
Age: He’s the only rookie on the Blue team . I
think it’s safe in assuming he’s between 18 -- 20
years old.
Canon: Caboose’s canon is based on an X-Box
game. PWN. even if I like the PS2 better
wtf. So Yes, in basic terms, the conflict
between the Red Team and The Blue Team is all about
capturing each others’ flag. Caboose is the Blue
Team’s rookie,; he’s young, enthusiastic, and kind of
dumb. He also likes baking muffins.
He was born to be an actor, so his parents decided and
thus named him after Michael J. Fox. (Yeah okay, so
they didn’t know what the “J” stood for, and they
didn’t want to get it wrong, so his middle name is
simply the letter J). After faking an interest in the
military, he was accepted and SHAM BAM BAMANA he was
sent to Blood Gulch with no idea of what was going on.
ALAS FOR THE BLUE TEAM AND THEIR IDIOT.
However, ironically he was the only person to master
the art of driving Sheila, their tank, whom is his
very close friend and who is in love with him. (Are
your Freudian bells ready to start ringing? She loves
him because he was the first person inside of her.)
And together, they ended up blowing up and killing
Church, Blue Team’s leader. Yeah, Caboose has killed
him quite a few times, and now he’s almost obsessed
with impressing Church and earning his respect.
L'AMOUR.
Lots of other stuff happens too. The homicidal
Artificial Intelligence O’Malley possesses him and he
became all aggressive seme killer weapon boy, then
Church had to go inside his head and kill it. He’s
gone through portals, has given the Red team their
blue flag, had worked with the enemy, has seen the
very shiny future, and was discovered to be THE GREAT
DESTROYER.
dear Church :D,
Uhum...I think I pushed the wrong button. Not my fault
not my fault. Everyone knows I'm no good with pushing
buttons. Or unpushing pushed buttons. Right?
I don't think I made it to that "Hey Ass Mattress, The
Target is Right The Fuck Over There" shooting camp.
I, I think I'm *dramatically lowers voice* in another
dimension! I've seen the future, that one time, and
this place isn't that shiny.
Oh oh oh, Church! I saw a guy. He was wearing green. I
think it was you. Dimensional you. *more dramatical
voice changing* You had frown wrinkles.
I tried to tell dimensional you about how I had been
baking muffins and the muffins made me push the wrong
button and I ended up here and that I lost my gun and
all my crayons too. And dimensional you had that look
on your face when you call me or Tucker an idiot, but
I don't think that's what you said. Cause all I could
hear was "blah blah" and "don't".
Church, I think I know dimensional talk! I know, I
really did, that you were talling me about Melba, your
yarn-kitty that was stolen by a purple gorilla. And
then I told frown-y you that if we had crayons, I
could make lost posters. I draw pretty kitties. That's
when you left me in the woods.
I don't think this you likes me. I don't know why. I
haven't even accidently killed him a few times yet.
OH, do you think that's why? Oh no, I don't want this
you to think I don't like him as much as YOU you!
Maybe I should kill him, atleast once? OH Church, I
get it! Is this my mission? Like when we had to get
the red flag? Or when Tucker said I had to find the
magic in his pants? I understand now, don't worry
Church, this you will like me as much you do. :D
Over and out and stuff.

Character: Zatch Bell
Series: Zatch Bell
Age: Unknown, but looks and acts like a grade school kid.
Canon: Every thousand years 100 demons are sent to our world to do battle with each other in order to decide who will become their king. Friends are up against friends and even peaceful demons are forced into combat. Among the chosen in the latest round is an underdog named Zatch Bell. Zatch has vowed to try and win the tournament in order to become a kind king and hopefully stop the pointless fighting once and for all.
The irony of beating the crap out of others in order to achieve peace is totally lost on him.
To be blunt, Zatch can be pretty dense. Since that's actually part of his youthful naivete it also comes with a powerful (and sometimes annoying) optimism. Friendship is very important to him, and he has a deep desire for peaceful coexistence among his kind. Due to his childish nature he's not exactly a beacon of maturity; he can be unreasonably stubborn and selfish when he wants to be. Overall, though, he's generally an agreeable kid whose favorite activities include playing, eating, and just plain being weird.
Hi! I can shoot lightning bolts out of my mouth!
...
Oh. I guess I probably need to say more than that, huh?
Actually, there was something I really wanted to talk to you guys about! Camp is supposed to be about having fun and making new friends, right? Then can someone please tell me why there's so much fighting going on around here? It's kind of hard to have a good time when there are people punching and kicking each other for no good reason. I even saw one guy push another guy against a wall and force him to kiss! I've never seen that move used in a fight back home. Yuck! Aren't they worried about cooties? It must've made the guy being kissed super mad because then he pulled the bully into a cabin and slammed the door behind them! I guess it was nice of them to take their fight inside where nobody else could get hurt. Still, I'd be happier if people could just get along.
Anyway, I hope I can make a ton of new friends here! If anybody ever wants to color or play tag or something I'm all for it! If you do want to color though, you have to promise not to eat my crayons, OK? The neat colors make them look yummy (especially the neon ones), but they don't actually taste all that good. Believe me, I know!

Character: Pallapalla (also called Para Para, variations on spacing and capitals depending on who you ask)
Series: Sailor Moon
Age: None specified, apparently teenage
Canon: Every group of four characters must include one who is bouncy, hyper, happy, energetic, and childish. If they’re female, chances are ten to one that they’re a bit of a crybaby and they speak in third person, too. Pallapalla is that girl from her group, the Dead Moon Circus’s Amazoness Quartet, who possesses all the above qualities. The excitable Pallapalla refers to herself in the third person (most of the time), and enjoys playing with dolls, a good game of billiards, and crushing heroes to death under gigantic balls. A mischievous brat who hates taking orders and never wants to grow up, Pallapalla just wants to have some fun!
Let’s see, Pallapalla’s newest target is… hey, this is no fair! How is Pallapalla supposed to find the Camp Director lady without a photograph of her?! Pallapalla can’t be blamed if she can’t find the target this time! But… since the Director lady could be anybody here, that just means Pallapalla gets to play with everybody; the Director’s bound to be one of them! Well, let’s get started. ♥
Hey, everybody! Are you too busy with silly grown-up responsibilities to enjoy yourself? Or maybe it’s that you just don’t have the time to take a day off to have some fun. You might even be trapped behind an impenetrable barrier and can’t leave even if you want to! But now, all that’s okay! Because starting today, you can take advantage of this special offer from Dead Moon Circus, where we bring the performance to you! Now gather round and watch, the spectacular solo show is about to begin!
To start, the Ball-Rider Pallapalla will do my special juggling trick! If one of you audience members could volunteer an item to Pallapalla-and don’t worry, you’ll get it back unharmed and in one piece! And it doesn’t have to be round like a ball; Pallapalla can juggle any item, just try me! Yes, you there, mister, do you have something?
Hey now, that’s not funny! Pallapalla’s the one performing here, not you! Don’t you try to upstage me with your stupid taking-you-head-off trick! My dolls do that too, and they make popping sounds when their heads come off, so you’re not that special! And there’s no way Pallapalla’s using that to juggle, it’s all nasty and falling apart! You stupid jerk-face, do you want to see the show or not?!
Good, that’s what Pallapalla thought! Now sit down and watch, and Pallapalla’s special puppet theater will be the next attraction! ♥

Character: Riku
Series: Kingdom Hearts . This take on Riku also draws deeply from the Gameboy Advance Title Chain of Memories
Age: 16
Canon: Those who first meet Riku often find him rather cold and distant but beneath the frosty exterior beats a warm, playful heart. He doesn’t make friends easily but those he does make remain friends for life and he is very protective of them.
That said; Riku’s moral compass is not in direct alignment with the rest of society most of the time. Once he sets a goal in mind nothing will prevent him from reaching it and his methods for achieving that goal might be legal, questionable, or obviously illegal. This determination can make him easily manipulated since he can become slavish to his own ideals.
While he loves his friends dearly, he is prone to jealousy and once went to great ends to vindicate himself in front of an old childhood friend, Sora. While Sora gained new companions and skills in his quest, Riku found himself keeping a score card. What could he do to stay a step ahead? Kidnap someone? Sure. Wage a massive war designed to slaughter millions across multiple worlds? You got it! In the end Riku saw that he had lost sight of what was truly important and has, since then, been making amends in his own way.
All in all, Riku is your typical teenage boy with typical teenage angst. Except that one of his closest friends is Mickey Mouse (yes THAT Mickey Mouse) and he has a small problem where he gets power surges from a vast, dark, disembodied anger that blows up planets. But, oh well. Nobody’s perfect.
The Darkness here smells like. . .it smells like stupid.
It’s wrong. It’s not the Darkness that is always trying to swallow me whole. It’s more like. . .well. . . it’s trying. But after facing the abyss in my own soul I just don’t find zombies terribly threatening anymore.
To be honest, though? The lack of deep shadow and Heartless here is more irritating than their presence ever was. Funny, the things a guy can get used to. I’m not even sure how I got here in the first place. Maybe reality forgot I existed again. Or maybe it’s trying to tell me I should never have left my island. Why does the Universe feel like it has to almost kill me to get its points across? It never does that to Sora. . .
Sora. I wonder how he and his new friends are. I hope they’re having fun. I’m not. Here I am cursing my luck again as I trudge through yet another strange world. The scents are all unfamiliar to me. The natives are equally unfamiliar and remarkably useless. Those birds with the brightly colored beaks all look down at me, the zombies all look up at me, and it seems really only those purple gorillas see me as an equal. I just don’t understand the meaning of their gestures and I don’t have the time to learn them, there are more important things I have to do.
The sea witch here isn’t helpful either. I’ve called for her, cried for her and even threw a few rocks but she never responded. I know she’s down there, too. I can see her tentacles. They even tried to grab me but I managed to beat them back.
I walked for hours until I felt my legs had grown different lengths. I walked until I felt as if I had just run the circuit race around Destiny Island. I walked until I found what I think might be the edge of the world. And there still was no exit. I punched the invisible wall there until my knuckles bled but that didn’t help. I think I actually turned pink for a while, too, which is just. . .bizarre. I don’t know if that had anything to do with beating on the wall. I hope it did. Randomly turning pink is not something I need right now. But, honestly. . .pink? How cliché.
I guess this is where you all come in. I followed a particular scent to the cabins and here I am. My name is not important; I don’t really plan on being here long. If someone could just point me towards the Boss I could kill it and get out of here and not be a bother to anyone. And, hey, maybe if anybody else ever wants to leave they can just follow after me, right? Win-win situation.
So. Show me the Door.

Character: Ella of Frell
Series: Ella Enchanted (novel)
Age: 15
Canon: Ella Enchanted is a rewrite of the story of Cinderella; when she was born, Ella was given the "gift" of obedience by a misguided fairy, and now must obey any direct order given to her - from hopping on one foot all day to chopping off her own head. Despite this, or maybe because of it, she grew to be a cheerful, yet very stubborn and obstinate girl. So despite being 'obedient' she is always trying to find loopholes in the orders -- when told by the cook to hold a bowl, for example, she'll hold it, but walk around to keep it out of reach. Thanks to a problematic incident with a childhood playmate, Ella's mother ordered her to never tell anyone of the curse, and so the only ones who know about it are Ella herself, her mother, her cook Mandy, and the fairy who placed the curse, Lucinda.
In spite of her curse, Ella is as strong and independent as she can be. Her favourite activity is sliding down stair rails, and she has a strong gift for learning languages; over the course of the story she's seen using no fewer than five different languages, not counting her native one.
After her mother's death, Ella's father sends her off to finishing school to iron out her stubborn streak. School, of course, is terrible, what with her teachers ordering her around. I'm taking this Ella from after she arrived at school, but before she left.
I know I've considered running away from that horrible school, but I think I'd remember actually doing so, wouldn't I? So why, then, did I just wake up in the middle of this forest this morning? Would someone tell me what this place is? I don't recall there being a village like this anywhere near my school, and it's like nothing I've ever heard of! Not five minutes ago I encountered several mice wearing clothing, and unless I was mistaken they were speaking to me and calling me "Cinderelly"! When I told them they were mistaken and I am not "Cinderelly", they stalked off pouting. I do hope I didn't hurt their feelings, but, well, I'm not, and I can't help it if they can't tell the difference. Is there anyone here named Cinderelly? If so, your mice have been looking for you, and would you mind telling me just how they learned to talk? This place is so unusual... I've already encountered talking mice, flowers that I swear were smiling at me, and even this strange writing machine that has a lit screen and buttons with letters.
And speaking of which--
Oh, for the love of... now this machine is flashing words across the screen at me: "Introduce yourself."
Fine then, I will.
I am Ella of Frell, the only daughter of Sir Peter, and I'm supposed to be off at finishing school, so I've no idea how I wound up here. I'm pretty sure someone would have told me by now if I had a tendency to sleepwalk, wouldn't they? I've never -- and would someone please tell me how to get this thing to stop telling me to do things? Now it wants me to pick my nose in public.
And oh yes, if any of you see me doing such a thing, it's a horrible habit that I've been unable to give up. So sorry.

Character: Brooklyn
Series: Gargoyles (More info here)
Age: 36. Which is 18 by human standards, as stated by the co-creator/producer (Here)
Canon: Gargoyles are stone by day, and come to life at night. In the late 900's, a large clan of them were betrayed by the humans whose castle they swore to protect. All but six of them were killed, and the remaining were put under a spell that froze them in stone-state. 1000 years later, they awaken in modern-day Manhattan, and protect the people of the city, only unknown and by the sleath of night.
Brooklyn is a younger member of the clan who has a sense of sarcastic humor and a modern, cool attitude about him. Despite this, he also has enough strength and intelligence to be appointed as his clan's second in command. He's fascinated by the modern world, and like the rest of his clan, he hopes that one day they'll be able to co-exist with humans in the world.
Note: Macbeth (as well as Xanatos) is one of their enemies in the series.
So Macbeth throws some magical faerie dust at me, says something in Latin, and the next night I wake up covered in slime and locusts in a place that looks like it was taken straight out of a horror flick. Right down to the monsters, the eerie lakes, and-- is that a saber-toothed bunny?
Nice place the humans got here! Really, I hadn't expected to be spotted by any of them to begin with, since normally that'd send them running away in fear, but instead, they find me and run at me, calling to feast on my brains. Barely got out of there with my tail intact, and oh man the way they smelled-- I think I prefer Xanatos' evil robots to this. At least you can see them coming at you in the dark, since they're shooting lasers. ... not that that's any better.
So in the meantime, I've been hiding out on the cabin rooftops, watching the goings-on over the last couple of nights. The humans here don't seem as crazy as the ones from before (they don't smell as bad, either), but they seem a little trigger-happy. So I'm not exactly keen on swooping down there and introducing myself; since judging from some of the things I've seen wandering around in the woods, they'd probably shoot at me thinking I'm one of'em.
Speaking of things in the woods? I saw some giant, hairy beast smash a boulder into dust, so I'm just the tiniest bit worried over what I'm going to do once the sun comes up.

So despite being 'obedient' she is always trying to find loopholes in the orders -- when told by the cook to hold a bowl, for example, she'll hold it, but walk around to keep it out of reach. Thanks to a problematic incident with a childhood playmate, Ella's mother ordered her to never tell anyone of the curse, and so the only ones who know about it are Ella herself, her mother, her cook Mandy, and the fairy who placed the curse, Lucinda.
In spite of her curse, Ella is as strong and independent as she can be. Her favourite activity is sliding down stair rails, and she has a strong gift for learning languages; over the course of the story she's seen using no fewer than five different languages, not counting her native one.
After her mother's death, Ella's father sends her off to finishing school to iron out her stubborn streak. School, of course, is terrible, what with her teachers ordering her around. I'm taking this Ella from after she arrived at school, but before she left.
I know I've considered running away from that horrible school, but I think I'd remember actually doing so, wouldn't I? So why, then, did I just wake up in the middle of this forest this morning? Would someone tell me what this place is? I don't recall there being a village like this anywhere near my school, and it's like nothing I've ever heard of! Not five minutes ago I encountered several mice wearing clothing, and unless I was mistaken they were speaking to me and calling me "Cinderelly"! When I told them they were mistaken and I am not "Cinderelly", they stalked off pouting. I do hope I didn't hurt their feelings, but, well, I'm not, and I can't help it if they can't tell the difference. Is there anyone here named Cinderelly? If so, your mice have been looking for you, and would you mind telling me just how they learned to talk? This place is so unusual... I've already encountered talking mice, flowers that I swear were smiling at me, and even this strange writing machine that has a lit screen and buttons with letters.
And speaking of which--
Oh, for the love of... now this machine is flashing words across the screen at me: "Introduce yourself."
Fine then, I will.
I am Ella of Frell, the only daughter of Sir Peter, and I'm supposed to be off at finishing school, so I've no idea how I wound up here. I'm pretty sure someone would have told me by now if I had a tendency to sleepwalk, wouldn't they? I've never -- and would someone please tell me how to get this thing to stop telling me to do things? Now it wants me to pick my nose in public.
And oh yes, if any of you see me doing such a thing, it's a horrible habit that I've been unable to give up. So sorry.

Character: Brooklyn
Series: Gargoyles (More info here)
Age: 36. Which is 18 by human standards, as stated by the co-creator/producer (Here)
Canon: Gargoyles are stone by day, and come to life at night. In the late 900's, a large clan of them were betrayed by the humans whose castle they swore to protect. All but six of them were killed, and the remaining were put under a spell that froze them in stone-state. 1000 years later, they awaken in modern-day Manhattan, and protect the people of the city, only unknown and by the sleath of night.
Brooklyn is a younger member of the clan who has a sense of sarcastic humor and a modern, cool attitude about him. Despite this, he also has enough strength and intelligence to be appointed as his clan's second in command. He's fascinated by the modern world, and like the rest of his clan, he hopes that one day they'll be able to co-exist with humans in the world.
Note: Macbeth (as well as Xanatos) is one of their enemies in the series.
So Macbeth throws some magical faerie dust at me, says something in Latin, and the next night I wake up covered in slime and locusts in a place that looks like it was taken straight out of a horror flick. Right down to the monsters, the eerie lakes, and-- is that a saber-toothed bunny?
Nice place the humans got here! Really, I hadn't expected to be spotted by any of them to begin with, since normally that'd send them running away in fear, but instead, they find me and run at me, calling to feast on my brains. Barely got out of there with my tail intact, and oh man the way they smelled-- I think I prefer Xanatos' evil robots to this. At least you can see them coming at you in the dark, since they're shooting lasers. ... not that that's any better.
So in the meantime, I've been hiding out on the cabin rooftops, watching the goings-on over the last couple of nights. The humans here don't seem as crazy as the ones from before (they don't smell as bad, either), but they seem a little trigger-happy. So I'm not exactly keen on swooping down there and introducing myself; since judging from some of the things I've seen wandering around in the woods, they'd probably shoot at me thinking I'm one of'em.
Speaking of things in the woods? I saw some giant, hairy beast smash a boulder into dust, so I'm just the tiniest bit worried over what I'm going to do once the sun comes up.
