Character: Pinkie Pie
My Little Pony:
My Little Pony: Friendship Is MagicCharacter age: Pony!
Canon: Did you ever wondered what friendship could mean? Only until ponies have shared its magic with you~! MLP:FiM is an animated series based around the world of My Little Pony, a magical canon populated by those adorable plastic creatures that whinnied into our lives back in the eighties. FiM has taken this decades old ~*pony magic*~ and transformed the premise into a new, well-crafted series that espouses friendship, bravery, and kindness... and the production staff is not above incorporating 4chan memes into a show with an eight-year old demographic.
A fan-favorite of the show is the bubbly Pinkie Pie, a fun-loving pony who redefines party pony animal. Friendly and outgoing, enthusiastic and energetic, random and... seriously, she's very random, Pinkie Pie is guaranteed to be the life of every pony soirée. Like a pink hurricane of cheer, Pinkie Pie spends her days walloping others into a life full of laughter. She's the resident town prankster, an amazing party planner, assistant confectionary baker, and a
master of the impromptu musical number; truly she is a fun-time Renaissance pony. With a (maybe more-than) healthy sense of humor, Pinkie Pie bounces her way through life with her tail held high!
And sure, she's seen as a little eccentric for it. Her friends believe the weirdness is part and parcel of Pinkie Pie's charm, though.

SURPRISE!
Hey, were you surprised? Wereyouwereyouhuhhuhhuh? Because I know I'd be surprised if a huuuge party like this suddenly showed up in like, less than a hoof beat in the middle of Ponyville -- actually, I'd probably be the one throwing the party, hee! -- but anyway, were you surprised? I completely understand if everypony needs a moment to let the mind-blowing fun we are so definitely about to have bake in some noggins for a bit; camp's been completely overdue for some partying, I can tell! As soon as I got here, every which-way I looked there were way too many loooong and decaying faces, and what's up with that, you Gloomy McSaddypants? And at first I was all sad because you were all sad, and I was thinking, ohmigoodness, what kind of summer camp leaves a pink pony blue! Can I really make new friends here? But then I went
GASP!
and duh, I realized what we need is a super-duper-awesome-fabulous-and-humongous GREATEST PARTY EVER to turn all those frowns ~ǝpısdn uʍop~, and it could totally double as a meet-and-greet! So ol' Pinkie Pie did what she does best in like, half the time, because I was totally a pony on a mission, yessiree! And now we've got streamers and balloons and games and cookies and music and a disco ball and pom-poms and this great accordion I found in some shed, and I just baked some fresh cupcakes that I used a lot of sticky red icing on, so it's kind of like blood? So now everypony in camp, even the sortaickydead ones, can come and have a spectacular time at a super spectacular party, and when I figured that out, that's when I went
GASP!
again because if everypony can come, that means everypony gets to make new friends, not just me! New friends mean new jokes and adventures and stories, and isn't that great? Oooh, and now I can't wait to tell my little pony friends back home about all the new friends I've made at summer camp, so let's get this party started with -- pin the tail on the pony? Sure! On me or the picture on the wall, ha ha-- oh. Hrm.
Well, thaaat's not what we usually stick into the pony's rump. Just so you know! ♥
Poll Vote! Character: Cessily Kincaid | Mercury
Series: Marvel Comics;
New X-MenCharacter Age: mid-teens. ish.
Canon: Most people will have heard of Marvel’s original X-Men franchise, knowing the X-Men as a team of mutant superheroes whose One True Purpose is, apparently, to locate young mutants, collect them all together in a school for the “gifted” and train them toward using their powers for GOOD and not EVIL, thus proving to the world that mutants are nothing to be afraid of and are really quite useful, thankyouverymuch. One day, Marvel decided that it wasn’t as much fun messing about with the older established mutant characters any more, so they set about creating the next generation of young mutants to maim, torture and kill. Thanks, Marvel! Cessily Kincaid, code name Mercury, is a member of this generation of New X-Men.
On the day her mutant abilities activated, Cessily’s entire body transformed into a non-toxic form of mercury that she can manipulate into any shape, immediately identifying her as a mutant by anyone who lays eyes on her. Her parents reacted by promptly shipping her off to Xavier’s Institute where their neighbours couldn’t possibly see her. Despite her parents’ attitude, or perhaps because of it, Cessily is quick to accept and defend anyone who might be perceived as “different”. Whilst initially content to follow others’ lead, she has developed into someone willing to stand up for her convictions, even when that means telling her best friend to stop being a childish idiot. She is a loyal friend, an exceptionally malleable fighter and, ultimately, just a teenage girl who wants nothing more than to chill out with her friends, drinking coffee and chatting about cute boys.

Okay, lets just take it easy here. I’ve clearly interrupted you at a sensitive moment, and I realize that one thing you probably weren’t expecting to see today was someone’s head peering right at you when you’re way up here, especially while the rest of that person’s body is still on the ground. But look at it from my perspective - I’m walking along, and suddenly I’m coated with a fine layer of foundation and blusher, not to mention the vivid pink nail polish. It’s not like I can just brush it all off, either. Some of these cosmetics are really stuck tight, so I’m guessing you’ve got metal bases in there and right now some of those electrons are really enjoying getting to know my protons. Let me tell you, at the moment my body gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “Beautiful Colorful You”.
Honestly, I just wanted to get a better look at what was going on, maybe see if whoever was up here making busy with the make-up had some industrial strength remover in their collection. And there you were! Make-up aside, it’s not every day I get to see a kraken. Some days, sure, but not every day. And you know what, I really don’t think that you need all this product! Believe me, I know what it’s like to be the one who everyone looks at, and I can totally understand why you think that a bit of a makeover might help your image, but I honestly don’t think it’s going to work for you. Particularly not if you insist on keeping that color scheme. Yellow and blue eyeshadow together? What were you thinking--
Uh, fair enough, I’ll acknowledge that I’m probably not in the best position to be giving you advice on that right now. And if you could just stop waving your tentacles about in that vaguely menacing way, I promise to work on being more constructive with my criticism in the future. For the immediate future, though, I’m going to politely suggest that you back off just a little, because my hand is itching for some harpoon action and I don’t really think we need to go there...
Alright, I tried. But you know what they say! High levels of mercury can be hazardous to your health.
Poll Vote! Character: Kanbaru Suruga
Series:
BakemonogatariCharacter Age: 16 (probably)
Canon:
Bakemonogatari is essentially the tale of a senior high student as he obsessively tries to help people out of jams involving strange supernatural forces, or ‘aberrations’. This student is Araragi Koyomi, who had not too long ago encountered such a situation himself, changing his life, etc. etc. These people he helps are generally girls who will form some of attachment to him.
One of these girls is Kanbaru Suruga, Araragi’s very athletic underclassman. She is one of the few characters that doesn’t fall in love with him; it might have been because she swings for the other team, but the fact that he’s dating the girl she loves plays a larger part. Her loving obsession has driven her to some extents she really isn’t proud of. Kanbaru inherited what appeared to be a monkey’s paw when she was young, shaping her life with cursed wishes, with the results eventually driving her to achieve goals on her own merit. She’s known for being ‘erotic’, being a rather avid fan of BL and porn in general. She enjoys teasing people for the hell of it, although remorse will often follow. Kanbaru knows herself well, including her tendency to give in to herself, e.g. using wishes. What she lacks in willpower, however, is made up for by enthusiasm and jumpiness, which shows up in her manner of speech.
Sample Post: Oh wow, this place is impressive! I mean, it’s not like I can say I’ve seen beasts that color before. I think there may be a problem with staying here. Yes, it would be problematic to attempt to find something to my tastes, especially with a name like that. It honestly doesn’t sound very catering, “Camp Fuck You Die”. Still, I wouldn’t be me without putting in plenty of effort for this! Now, where would I find the problematic material…
Maybe if i just have a look around. Toucans and zombies? I’m suddenly not so sure this is America any more, but rather more like something out of a piece of deranged fiction. That silo is rather imposing. Hey, is that a tentacle? I might have to make a note of that for later. Maybe I might find something back here in these trees if I’m looking for ‘shady’ types.
Still, it seems like a strange place, although I might as well start somewhere. And it does seem that the animals here can talk, so… I wonder if this squirrel would talk... It’s drawing something? That’s surprising... This... This is incredible! Such precision, such detail, this beautiful line-work! Surely this must be the work of a master artist! Forgive me for being so obtrusive, but this is simply amazing! For such a small creature to have such a wonderfully perverted mind, this must be some kind of miracle!
I wonder if it is out of place for me to ask this... Would you be interested in doing some commission work? I’m unsure of what currency would work for you, but I suppose I could probably aid in collecting nuts or something similar in nature. Squirrel-sama, is it too intrusive of me to request something more complicated? Perhaps if this was done with the guys the other way around? Or maybe a third between? Even throwing a bit of bondage torture in there, bind this leg to that one, or maybe a chair! If I found better materials, we could even put it in full color, with plenty of details on the tentacles! Hey, are you leaving?
What, you think I’m too perverted for you?
Poll Vote! Name: Guy Cecil
Series: Tales of the Abyss
Age: 21
Canon: Some say fate is guided by the stars; in the case of the planet Auldrant, fate is literally guided by several large chunks of rock floating just inside the planet's atmosphere. Taken together, these rocks make up "The Score": a fancy horoscope that everyone in the whole world consults to determine their life's path, how long wars will last and who will win them, and even what they should make for dinner. Whether the Score is irrefutable goes mostly unchallenged, as most people are unwilling to go against it even when it predicts terrible death and destruction-until the birth of Luke fon Fabre, a replica whose existence wasn't foretold by The Score. Though initially a spoiled brat, he eventually grows into a kind, caring person, who wants to help as many people as he can. With that in mind and armed with his own existence as proof, Luke sets out to show the world that the Score isn't absolute-and to build an Auldrant where everyone can determine their own fate.
Having come to the Fabre household after his homeland was destroyed (yet another casualty of The Score), Guy's been with Luke for Luke's entire life, as his servant and best friend-though he does feel conflicted about that, as their countries were enemies. Despite that, he's the person who sticks by Luke, believing in him even when Luke doesn't believe in himself, raising him from a spoiled noble to someone actually noble; something that takes no small amount of patience, on Guy's part. A definite big-brother type-kind and supportive, but in a teasing, long-suffering way-Guy likes to put people at ease. He's not completely without a darker side and, due to his tragic past, does have his moments of seriousness-but most of the time he hides that behind a casual, friendly, up-beat attitude. Truthfully, Guy's a bit of a geek and, despite a hilarious physical aversion to ~the ladies~, is still quite the charmer-seemingly not even noticing when he's being a big flirt.
Sample:
Well hello there, miss. Excuse me-I couldn't help but notice you over here. You're very eye catching, with that blood-red dress and dewy skin, practically glistening in the sun like that. I also couldn't help but notice that you're looking pretty down, and that just doesn't suit someone as, ah...charming as you. Let me guess... you were taken from your home too, right? But hey, everyone here is in the same situation as you, so there's no reason that you should have to stand out here in the middle of a field, all by yourself and moaning, right? In fact, I think probably everyone else would really rather you didn't, since it's... kind of freaking them out, judging from those slack-jawed looks of horror. Er, I think it's horror, anyway. Definitely slack-jawed.
Speaking of those guys over there, have you tried making friends with them? Sure, they're not real talkative, but they're just as lost and restless as you are. And I bet that, when they look at you, they see exactly what I see-a smart, clever lady who just needs a little care and attention, and to feel like she's not alone. I bet you miss your family, huh? That... never really goes away, and I can't tell you what makes it better... but you know, if you think of it a different way-everyone here is like a family. You're all refugees, looking for a place to call home. And maybe it isn't perfect, this place, but it's yours. Okay, I guess you're not in charge or anything like that, but how often does anyone ever see that Elizabeth lady anyway? It's you guys who go around, day after day, taking care of this place.You should be proud of that-you're strong, even if you're feeling a little flimsy. And even if you do end up eventually thinking of this place as home... that doesn't mean you've forgotten about where you lived before. It's okay-to keep thinking about those people, too. I know it's hard... sometimes it feels like- like this there's this big empty hole in your chest, that nothing can fill up. Though uh... your dress does do a lovely job of at least covering your hole up. That's a great start.
Well, anyway-the point was, I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone anymore and...I know how you feel. Oh, no-sorry, that wasn't literal. I don't actually know how you feel. See, when I said 'I know how you feel, what I meant was that I-Er, hold on now. I don't actually need...you don't need to show me how you feel! I'll imagine it! Miss, p-please don't-you really don't have to come any closer! Please! Hey! No-gah! I-hey, get your hands off, lady!
...okay, uh-let me just... pick those up for you, then. Here we go-hands back on. Er, in the future, maybe we could all practice keeping our hands to ourselves, okay? That'll keep us from having these kind of awkward situations. I never really was any good at giving orders, and you're way too good at "hands off".
