Character: Tyler Lockwood
Series: The Vampire Diaries
Character Age: 17
Canon: Mystic Falls, Virginia seems like a normal enough small southern town at first glance. A town full of old money, with one mysterious meeting spot, and more school carnivals than could possibly be considered necessary by any normal standard. But the town also has a secret history of vampires, and of werewolves and witches too. The mayor of Mystic Falls is a man named Richard Lockwood, and he is also the head of the secret Council whose aim is to exterminate the vampires of Mystic Falls since 1864. The Lockwood family has essentially ran Mystic Falls since the late 1800s, when Stefan and Damon Salvatore, our two main heroes, were first turned into vampires.
Tyler Lockwood, however, knows almost nothing about his family's history, except for the pressure that it puts on him. Tyler is, for better or for worse, a bully, and he doesn't back down even when the people who would be considered his closest friends tell him to back off. In fact, you could say that one of his defining traits is his ability to burn bridges, whether it's making his girlfriend feel like trash by introducing her to his elitist mom, or drunkenly making out with his best friend's mother. He's perfectly willing to mess around with his uncle if it means that he can get answers about his mysterious family past, and he doesn't apologize for it either. That doesn't mean he's completely heartless, though. He carries around a lot of regret and insecurity, and his anger and his jerkishness mostly serve as a way to cover that up. Well, at least it would, if he could control that anger.
Note: Tyler is being taken from [after the curse is activated and his first transformation.]

A dog collar? Really? The first thing I get when I finally get off the bus for sports camp is a dog collar and an invitation to some weird theme party? I'm really starting to wonder if the bus driver took a wrong turn somewhere. I know that these camps are supposed to be in the middle of nowhere so that you can focus on team bonding or whatever bullshit you guys are coming up with this week, but really. I don't even know where the rest of my team went, but if this is some weird kind of hazing, there's no way I'm gonna deal with it.
And what's up with this invitation, anyways? It just says to "show up at Marcy's silo for a good time", but how the hell am I supposed to know which one that is? It's not like I got a map when I got here, with a big marker pointing to "Marcy", whoever that is. Man, that is such an old person name, seriously. I don't even want to meet her, how about that! Just tell me where I can drop off this stupid collar and we can get to the important stuff. I just came here to play basketball, you know? "Potential MILF with a thing for animal play" does not belong anywhere on the list of things I wanted to deal with. It's just not cool. Just because I made one mistake doesn't mean I'm a cougar hunter or anything.
But I guess if that's the only way I'm going to get rid of this thing, I'll head over. At the very best, she could be kind of hot, I'll drop it off, and I'll move on, right? I mean, at the worst, she could be some sort of mega-freak and I'll have to high-tail it out of there, but really, I just don't want to deal with this stupid dog collar anymore. I don't need a refund, I'm not gonna make a fuss, I'll just turn it in, maybe figure out what's up with this place, at least a little bit, and then just move on with my day. I've gotten enough weirdness to last me a lifetime at home already. So we'll just stick to giving me information on a strict "need to know basis". If there's something I wanna know, I'll make it very clear.
Does it really have to be that silo, though? I don't really get why there have to be tentacles coming out of it to make a point. I get it, the lady's into weird stuff. That was already pretty obvious from all the purple gorilla fursuits, not to mention the collar I got stuck with. I may be a jock but I'm not really that dumb, you know. Bad decisions aren't just limited to people who are into sports. And now that I'm getting a closer look at that silo, I think it's pretty obvious that this? Was a very bad decision.
I think I'll just hold onto the dog collar for now.

Character: Georgia "George" Lass
Series: Dead Like Me
Age: 18
Canon: George Lass is about the last thing you'd want to see
right before you die. She's sarcastic, she's cynical, she's a
pottymouth, she excels at not giving a shit, and she's just not a
people person. Unfortunately for her, she died in an incident
involving a toilet seat from outer space and was tapped to become a
Grim Reaper, taking the souls of people about to die and sending them
on to the afterlife. Since George wasn't very good at living while
she was alive, it takes her a while to adjust to her new reality,
alternating between anger at her circumstances and a desire to make up
for the opportunities she wasted while she was alive. George is taken
from the end of the first season of the series.
Ever heard of a bucket list?
If not ‘cause you’ve been living under a rock for the past ten years,
it’s a really dumb name for all the crazy $hit you wanna do before you
die, or kick the proverbial bucket. You know, adrenaline junkie crap
like hang-gliding or bungee jumping or skydiving - all kinds of things
that could easily lead to either humiliation or lost body parts.
Maybe even death if you’re really unlucky. Trust me, I’ve seen
it happen. Some jackass thinks that a bungee cord or hang-glider or
whatever makes him the next Evel Knievel and instead he winds up that
year’s Darwin Awards superstar.
So, you’d think that I’d know better than to try stupid shit myself,
but here’s the thing. I’m already dead. It’s not like it could
kill me, right? And I never really did anything particularly
crazy or even fun while I was alive. I’m just making up for
lost time! Besides, what are you supposed to do when you find
yourself in the ass end of flyover country, surrounded by cornfields
and some slightly creepy cows? My mission was clear. I was gonna go
cow-tipping and knock some of those fuckers over. Crazy, but not
dangerous, right?
Wrong. 'Cause I didn't exactly pay enough attention to the
fact that these weren't just slightly creepy cows, these were
very creepy cows with four-inch fangs and weird, glowy eyes.
And now the entire field of cows is playing keep-away with me after
biting off my godamned arm! I thought cows were supposed to be slow,
stupid vegetarians, what is with this biting people’s arms off and
running away with it shit? C’mon, I can’t exactly grow myself a brand
new arm! I need the old one back, so I can put the damned thing back
on. Those fucking cows are getting cow slobber and germs all over it
and that can’t be healthy.
Give me my fucking arm back, you walking steak dinners! I bet you’ll
be tasty with a side salad and a baked potato.

Character: Haku
Series: Spirited Away
Character Age: appears 12
Canon: Are you feeling tired and worn out after a long week? What you need is a bit of rest and relaxation, and at Yubaba's bathhouse the attentive staff are ready with hot herbal soaks and delicious meals just waiting for you! And although the normal clientele are spirits, humans are not entirely unwelcome. Those delicious meals do need ingredients, after all! When her parents are turned into pigs, Chihiro is left no choice but to sign her name away-literally!- in exchange for safety and the chance to save her parents from becoming bacon. During her stay, Chihiro (now called Sen) learns the values of hard work, friendship, honesty, and a lesson in not being a spoiled snot-nosed little brat.
The first spirit to find Chihiro when she arrives at the bathhouse is Haku, Yubaba's apprentice, who tries to help her escape. Failing that, he tells her how to stay safe, and later takes her to visit her porcine parents. To the bathhouse workers this would be strange behaviour from the unfriendly, unhappy, and untrustworthy Master Haku. And he has all the reason to act bitter. Having lost his name and his memories, he's unwillingly forced to do Yubaba's dirty work while he tries to remember his past. But away from the watchful eyes of the bathhouse, his snideness fades into brisk efficiency and the snapped orders start to sound more like firm encouragement. Haku is, not so secretly, a good guy, and for Chihiro he can let himself be the friend she needs- patient, kind, and ready with a shoulder to cry on.

Alright, let's get this over with. I've been sent here to bring this so-called camp of yours up to standard, and I don't have all day to waste wandering around in crop circles. As I understand it, you've recently changed locations, and while a farm isn't the ideal location for any kind of resort, it's a start. Certainly it's an improvement over that swamp. When customers leave it should be with a healthy glow to their skin, not a green radioactive one. But that reminds me, Gorilla- I have an issue with your staff. The first impression a business makes is by its employees, and with your odd location, you must be extra careful about how you are presented. Farms are naturally homely, but there is a difference between classic country charm and rundown, neglected mess. Guess which matches the corpse spirits.
Now, they can't help what they are, but the problem can be managed. They should be welcome to use the resort the same as customers. Outside of business hours, of course. Corpse Spirit, come here. Look how tired she is, she's dead on her feet. Her problems are the same as your customers': bad skin, bad food, and bad joints. Treating these problem will both improve their health and boost morale. Think of it as job training. For their skin, give them facials and mud baths- there's more than enough dirt for it here. Next is their diet. This is a farm, so this shouldn't even be an issue. There's cow brains, pig brains, chicken brains and, unless you don't start using yours soon, gorilla brains. Those are all simple solutions. Fixing their joints will be harder. Painting their nails will help figure out whose limb is whose when they fall off. Pedicures would work too, but don't polish so hard that something snaps off. Be gentle.
However, that's only a short term solution. Manicures won't stop anyone's fingers from falling off, nor will they do anything for your customers' pains. The onsen is an acceptable treatment for muscle aches. Its sea cows also complement the farm theme. For those customers that don't want others disturbing their relaxation, your old lake spirit has offered her services as a masseuse. She was very excited about the idea, and her ten arms means she can service the clientele and your staff at the same time. Other workers have natural talents that can be used. For example, the electric sheep can double at electrotherapy and fur therapy. If you want this place to succeed as a resort camp, you'll have to cooperate with each other and take care of your spirits. As Marcy put it, see that everyone, not just the customers, gets a happy ending.

Character: Uehara Akira
Series: Your and My Secret/Boku to Kanojo no XXX
Age: 14
Canon:
Momoi Nanako used to be a violent, crude tomboy, but all that changed in her first year of highschool. Suddenly she's become sweet, demure, helpful, and she's really letting her sensitive side show. Her family and friends are thrilled by her newfound feminine pursuits. Who could blame them when she's suddenly cooking and cleaning up a storm, listening to their problems, and pulling her grades up to boot? She's even started to attract the attention of the class heartthrob. So what's the problem? Well, for one, Momoi isn't really Momoi at all. She's Momoi's mild-mannered male classmate, Uehara Akira. A freak accident of the MAD SCIENCE type has bodyswitched the two, and without the help of Momoi's scatterbrained Grandfather, there doesn't seem to be any way to change them back. In the meantime, the willful Momoi intends to enjoy a new life of freedom as a boy, while making sure that Akira doesn't do anything indecent with her body, of course!
Akira doesn't think he's cut out to be a girl, but other than using her name, nothing he's doing as Momoi is much of an act. He's every bit as gentle, kind, easily flustered, and easy to push around as he seems. In fact, his family has always complained about his unmasculine behavior. Actually, he really enjoys all the cooking and cleaning. He could even get used to the lacy unmentionables. But does that mean he'd be better off staying a girl forever? At first, Akira is adamant that he's meant to be a boy (dammit!!), and is willing to do anything to save himself from his fate, but as time passes even he begins to wonder. And then freak out, of course. Hey, it's a touchy subject!
Sample Post:
Mother, Father, you'll probably never know it, but today is the day that your only son moves in with five girls. Would you be scandalized about that? Or would you push me right down the path of a playboy? Either way, aside from the fact that you don't even realize I'm gone anyway, it's hardly the harem manga setup it sounds like . . . I'm going to be just one of the girls.
Okay, well, I say that, but the truth is I'm pretty much terrified right now! I've gotten through school okay; I've even learned how to zone out in the locker rooms so I don't feel like a total pervert when everybody else is changing. But can I really be "just one of the girls" twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week? What do women even do when they're stuck together for that long? Something tells me it's not actually pillow fights. Could it be that normal conversations are involved? Supposing one of them guesses my secret? Even worse, what if they know Momoi-san?! She'd make my body do naked jumping-jacks, pierce my ****, flunk all my tests on purpose, or something too terrible to imagine!!
No, I have to calm down. All I need to do is be the best cabinmate I can be, and nobody will get hurt! Mainly me. Also, my manly pride. Now that I think about it, I won't even have to spend all day in the room. I'm sure there are going to be all kinds of activities I can do, like nature walks and mess hall duty and making crafts like friendship bracelets and things. The brochure even says we're near a farm, maybe we're supposed to help out there too. And I bet I'd look adorable in a milkmaid outfit ♥
No, wait! Momoi-san! She would look adorable! . . . wait, if a girl touches a cow there . . . does that make her a . . . ?
A note to myself: these are the kinds of thoughts I should absolutely never bring up around my future roommates.

Character: Brianna (aka The Breeze)
Series: GONE
Character Age: 12
Canon: On a normal weekday morning in Perdido Beach, California, everybody over the age of fourteen disappears in the blink of an eye. The town's remaining children and young teens find themselves trapped inside a huge, impenetrable barrier. Although some of the more mature kids in the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone, as the area inside the barrier is quickly and mordantly renamed) try to maintain order, it's a daily struggle. But being alone isn't the worst of it. Kids are starting to develop strange, sometimes deadly powers. Animals are mutating. Add in a rival faction of kids from the local boarding school for rich, troubled youth, and - oh yeah - the fact that something evil (and hungry) has decided to come to life out in the desert, and life in the FAYZ can pretty much only go from bad to worse as time drags on.
Faster than a speeding bullet, it's... an obnoxious preteen! One of the FAYZ's mutants, Brianna has been gifted with the power of super speed. Unlike the majority of her peers, she's totally embraced her powers, going so far as giving herself the moniker "The Breeze." Brianna has no qualms about getting involved in other people's business, invading their space, and is more self-assured than she probably has any right to be. But she's also loyal, eager to get things done, and never gives up, traits that make her an invaluable member of any group when things are going badly. She can be annoying and sees herself more like a superhero than the young girl she is, but come on - if you could outrun a bullet, you'd brag too, right?
(Note: Inside the FAYZ, giving people, animals and objects creative new names is commonplace.)

I hate to break it to you, Marcy, but being a mutant isn't really working out for you.
Look, I don't know what kind of person you used to be, but the fact is, you're a tentacle monster now. I know it isn't fair, and I know that other people, such as yours truly, got way cooler mutations than you did. But that's life, and sulking up there on that silo isn't going to help. If you wanna get any street cred back, you're seriously gonna have to change your attitude. I mean, look, those losers with the gross skin are laughing at you! They're... Well, maybe they're actually gagging at you, I can't really tell. Either way, they're being totally obnoxious, and you're just gonna sit there and take it? Marcy, that's not cool. And I know you can be cool if you try. So come on down from the silo and let's brainstorm some ways to improve your reputation around here!
Okay, first of all? As far as acronyms go, I'm not really feelin' CFUD. I mean, it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, and the whole 'Camp Fuck, You Die? Camp Fuck You, Die?' thing not only makes you seem really bitter, it leaves the meaning totally unclear. You're lucky I'm here, because I'm pretty much a genius when it comes to renaming things. Check this out - we're at summer camp, right? And we have these really cool new abilities. Basically, the answer is obvious: Camp Radically Awesome Powers! That's pronounced just how it's spelled, Marcy. ... Crap.
On second thought, let's just leave that alone for now. We'll come back to it later. The Breeze isn't afraid to admit when she's hit a snag! Instead, we'll concentrate on your new name. Because no offense, but when I think 'Marcy,' I think 'elderly school librarian,' not 'badass tentacle monster.' Let's see. It should be cool sounding, but also similar to your human name, like all good superhero names are. I mean, there's Batman, aka Bruce Wayne, and The Breeze, aka Brianna, and... Uh... Well, I can't think of anyone else right this second, but really, who's counting?
So anyway, I'm thinking something that starts with 'M' for you. Maelstrom? The Megaton? The -- woah, woah, woah, what the heck are you doing to that kid, Marcy?!

Actually, he really enjoys all the cooking and cleaning. He could even get used to the lacy unmentionables. But does that mean he'd be better off staying a girl forever? At first, Akira is adamant that he's meant to be a boy (dammit!!), and is willing to do anything to save himself from his fate, but as time passes even he begins to wonder. And then freak out, of course. Hey, it's a touchy subject!

Mother, Father, you'll probably never know it, but today is the day that your only son moves in with five girls. Would you be scandalized about that? Or would you push me right down the path of a playboy? Either way, aside from the fact that you don't even realize I'm gone anyway, it's hardly the harem manga setup it sounds like . . . I'm going to be just one of the girls.
Okay, well, I say that, but the truth is I'm pretty much terrified right now! I've gotten through school okay; I've even learned how to zone out in the locker rooms so I don't feel like a total pervert when everybody else is changing. But can I really be "just one of the girls" twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week? What do women even do when they're stuck together for that long? Something tells me it's not actually pillow fights. Could it be that normal conversations are involved? Supposing one of them guesses my secret? Even worse, what if they know Momoi-san?! She'd make my body do naked jumping-jacks, pierce my ****, flunk all my tests on purpose, or something too terrible to imagine!!
No, I have to calm down. All I need to do is be the best cabinmate I can be, and nobody will get hurt! Mainly me. Also, my manly pride. Now that I think about it, I won't even have to spend all day in the room. I'm sure there are going to be all kinds of activities I can do, like nature walks and mess hall duty and making crafts like friendship bracelets and things. The brochure even says we're near a farm, maybe we're supposed to help out there too. And I bet I'd look adorable in a milkmaid outfit ♥
No, wait! Momoi-san! She would look adorable! . . . wait, if a girl touches a cow there . . . does that make her a . . . ?
A note to myself: these are the kinds of thoughts I should absolutely never bring up around my future roommates.

Character: Brianna (aka The Breeze)
Series: GONE
Character Age: 12
Canon: On a normal weekday morning in Perdido Beach, California, everybody over the age of fourteen disappears in the blink of an eye. The town's remaining children and young teens find themselves trapped inside a huge, impenetrable barrier. Although some of the more mature kids in the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone, as the area inside the barrier is quickly and mordantly renamed) try to maintain order, it's a daily struggle. But being alone isn't the worst of it. Kids are starting to develop strange, sometimes deadly powers. Animals are mutating. Add in a rival faction of kids from the local boarding school for rich, troubled youth, and - oh yeah - the fact that something evil (and hungry) has decided to come to life out in the desert, and life in the FAYZ can pretty much only go from bad to worse as time drags on.
Faster than a speeding bullet, it's... an obnoxious preteen! One of the FAYZ's mutants, Brianna has been gifted with the power of super speed. Unlike the majority of her peers, she's totally embraced her powers, going so far as giving herself the moniker "The Breeze." Brianna has no qualms about getting involved in other people's business, invading their space, and is more self-assured than she probably has any right to be. But she's also loyal, eager to get things done, and never gives up, traits that make her an invaluable member of any group when things are going badly. She can be annoying and sees herself more like a superhero than the young girl she is, but come on - if you could outrun a bullet, you'd brag too, right?
(Note: Inside the FAYZ, giving people, animals and objects creative new names is commonplace.)

I hate to break it to you, Marcy, but being a mutant isn't really working out for you.
Look, I don't know what kind of person you used to be, but the fact is, you're a tentacle monster now. I know it isn't fair, and I know that other people, such as yours truly, got way cooler mutations than you did. But that's life, and sulking up there on that silo isn't going to help. If you wanna get any street cred back, you're seriously gonna have to change your attitude. I mean, look, those losers with the gross skin are laughing at you! They're... Well, maybe they're actually gagging at you, I can't really tell. Either way, they're being totally obnoxious, and you're just gonna sit there and take it? Marcy, that's not cool. And I know you can be cool if you try. So come on down from the silo and let's brainstorm some ways to improve your reputation around here!
Okay, first of all? As far as acronyms go, I'm not really feelin' CFUD. I mean, it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, and the whole 'Camp Fuck, You Die? Camp Fuck You, Die?' thing not only makes you seem really bitter, it leaves the meaning totally unclear. You're lucky I'm here, because I'm pretty much a genius when it comes to renaming things. Check this out - we're at summer camp, right? And we have these really cool new abilities. Basically, the answer is obvious: Camp Radically Awesome Powers! That's pronounced just how it's spelled, Marcy. ... Crap.
On second thought, let's just leave that alone for now. We'll come back to it later. The Breeze isn't afraid to admit when she's hit a snag! Instead, we'll concentrate on your new name. Because no offense, but when I think 'Marcy,' I think 'elderly school librarian,' not 'badass tentacle monster.' Let's see. It should be cool sounding, but also similar to your human name, like all good superhero names are. I mean, there's Batman, aka Bruce Wayne, and The Breeze, aka Brianna, and... Uh... Well, I can't think of anyone else right this second, but really, who's counting?
So anyway, I'm thinking something that starts with 'M' for you. Maelstrom? The Megaton? The -- woah, woah, woah, what the heck are you doing to that kid, Marcy?!
... The Molester?
