Character: Superboy
Series: Young Justice (TV series)
Character Age: 16 weeks, physically looks to be around 16 years old
Canon: Organized by Batman, Young Justice is a covert operations team, serving as a contrast to the Justice League, under whose authority they function. Comprised of Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Artemis, Miss Martian and Superboy, Young Justice works to accomplish their missions, proving themselves as heroes and dealing with the problems that come with being an adolescent.
Superboy is a clone of the Man of Steel, created by Project Cadmus to replace Superman should he die or to destroy Superman if he goes astray. Having been taught everything he knows through the use of telepathic genomorphs called G-gnomes, there is a lot about the outside world that he has not experienced first hand. Thanks in part to his lack of experience in social settings and Superman’s rebuffs in getting to know him, Superboy acts confrontational to people, even if they are just trying to help him. He angers easily, especially if you touch an issue with him (reading his mind and Superman are pretty high on the list). Overconfident in his abilities when it comes to combat , Superboy often throws himself into situations thinking he can handle it on his own and dislikes it when others make him look weak in any way.

Hey, you work here? Alright then, look, I don’t care what you were told or who told you it, but let’s just get one thing straight: I don’t need a “camp experience” in my life, whatever that is. Sing-a-longs around the campfire, canoeing, making lanyards? No offense, but I’m not some kind of Boy Scout looking for merit badges, and I don’t want to be one. So, just forget about giving me the orientation tour and just point me in the direction that I need to go to get out of this place.
What... no, I don’t need any kind of brochures. I already told you that I’m not staying here, so don’t try and convince me to. And what kind of brochures are these supposed to be anyway? They talk about classes called “Brains are Pink and Corn is Yellow” and “Days of the Week 101.” Just what do you teach in that class? That today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes after that? If I wasn’t already leaving, I’d pass on staying here any longer. Don’t just think you can treat me like I’m some kind of little kid!
And what kind of name is that on the brochures anyway? Camp For the Under Developed, is that supposed to mean something to me?! Well, sorry, it doesn’t. This whole thing is really starting to sound like some kind of big joke to me, and I’m not laughing. I’m getting really tired of this and nothing you can say or do will make me stay here any longer than you already made me stay. I’m outta here, and don’t bother with calling your friends either, I can find my own way home. No, I mean it, don’t call them.
… Are they really purple gorillas?
Look, if you really want to do something, then... just get away. Now. I can handle things just fine on my own. Really. I mean it, back off --Hey! When I say back off, that doesn’t that you should come closer, and that definitely doesn’t mean that you can just grab me! … Didn’t like that punch much, did you? Oh, so you’re calling in for more friends, huh? It doesn’t matter how many of you there are, I can take you all on!
You’re so not going to feel the aster after this.

Character: Jin
Series: Samurai Champloo
Character Age: 20
Canon: Life isn’t exactly easy for Fuu, after her mother dies she has to live on her own and before she can even earn a little money working a couple of jerks wreck up her shop and a third one burns it down. But the crisis turns into an opportunity when Fuu recruits both Mugen (an uncultured ruffian) and Jin (a ronin or master-less samurai) to accompany her on a journey half way across the country in search of a samurai who smells of sunflowers. Her time with them turns out to be quite colorful (and occasionally remixed with great music) and the journey is far more rewarding than the destination.
Jin is a disgraced samurai seeking redemption and peace from his painful past. In general, he’s introverted, feeling more than he shows. He comes across as very quiet and dignified, in the way of a classic samurai, however, he’s still susceptible to distractions and more earthly pleasures. Jin tends to be a bit more focused than his companions and is often the only one making sure they stay on track. But deep down Jin is a bit mischievous and enjoys the chance to live a little in ways he hasn’t been able to before.
Sample Post:
Pardon me, miss, but would you happen to be the one who posted a request for an expert monster slayer? The hand was most definitely a woman’s script, but I’d never heard the name “Amanda” before. Regardless, I am certain the directions meant to lead me to this place. “Turn left at the broken down bridge and go straight past the herd of electric sheep”... I suppose those strange beasts I encountered earlier could be counted as sheep, although I’ve never seen one explode like that when provoked. Or any other animal for that matter. I hope something can be done about the mess, a place that keeps such volatile animals must be prepared to deal with the consequences. I assumed this rough assembly of buildings means I’ve reached my intended destination, it looks like the sort of encampment that might be in need of aid. But the last two... people I tried to talk to were less than helpful.
Perhaps you can help me, even if you aren’t Amanda. I realize I may not look like a typical “monster slayer” but that does not mean I would be ineffective. My sword skills are more than capable for this job... even if the posting made a number of outrageous claims about the difficulty of killing this beast. It has been my experience that most people’s monsters turn out to be no more than men they don’t trust, or don’t understand. Which poses no problem to me, I have more than my share of experience killing men. Considering this “sparkle-pire” is described as a foul monster who preys on and steals the hearts of young women, I do not believe it could truly be supernatural. A mere mortal can easily be blamed for dazzling girls in the same manner this posting suggests.
… I am sorry to have disturbed you, obviously you do not have the information I was looking for and further inquiry will only be a waste of time for both of us. Thank you, I appreciate your efforts miss, but without a tongue it is nearly impossible to understand anything you say. It is understandable that you don’t know, but if you could make use of your remaining hand to at least direct me to someone who can speak, I would be grateful. Thank you, however I sincerely doubt I will find anyone helpful in that haystack.
At this rate I’m never going to find Amanda Huggankiss.

Character: Maka Albarn
Series: Soul Eater
Character Age: 14
Canon: Welcome to Death City, home of Shibusen, an academy led by the Grim Reaper himself that trains Demon Weapons -- humans who have an innate ability to turn into weapons -- and the Meisters that wield them to learn to work together as they fight evildoers that take the souls of innocents. Once any Meister and Weapon pair have collected 99 corrupt souls and one of a witch, the latter then becomes a Deathscythe, a very powerful weapon worthy of even the Grim Reaper to wield. But, watch out! The enemies could be anything from ghosts to witches, werevolves, serial killers, or even a killer written paper that's still due by tomorrow. It's practically Halloween all year round.
Maka happens to be one of the students at this academy, a Meister who teams up with a boy named Soul capable of turning into a scythe, and together they're a force to be reckoned with. Although a generally personable girl who's willing to be friends with most people, she's a driven individual who's serious and hardworking in everything she does, striving to be nothing but the best. Not just a formidable fighter bent on turning her partner into an even stronger Deathscythe than her father, you'd also be hard pressed to one-up this bookworm when it comes to test scores. But Maka isn't only out to be number one -- she's fiercely loyal to her friends and is extremely dedicated to maintaining peace throughout the world, so bad guys beware. That's not the only thing to look out for, because Maka's got a bit of a temper on her, too. She possesses little patience for idiots and even less so for perverts, both which often find themselves with a dent in their heads when around her.

Alright, get it together, self! This may be one of the more weirder missions we've had to go on, but there can only be progress from here, right? None of it sounded like it should have been all that complicated, unorthodox obstacles aside. Find the culprit responsible for taking and trapping an unusually large amount of people -- dealing with a being like this is nothing new for us at all! ...Nevermind my idiot partner decided to disappear off on me, so I guess now it's nothing new for myself. Does he really expect to leave all the work to me? Hmph, if that's how he wants to be, I'll show him to slack off the job ever again...
Anyway, I've got to get moving. The guy in charge of this crazy farm operation more than likely already knows someone's on his trail if they're already sending out the lackeys. I find it a bit strange someone would use a bunch of cows to guard their turf, but that assault was way too coordinated to be a coincidence! At those speeds, they definitely meant business. Sheesh, I'm lucky they weren't fast enough... I never thought I'd have to knock a cow out.
So before things get worse and they ready themselves for round two, I need to figure out what exactly is going on here. I've been feeling the presence of a lot of troubling souls around, and from what I've been coming across so far they all belong to zombies. Nobody keeps a bunch of those roaming around, unless... Yeah, they definitely serve a greater purpose than adding to the scenery. If this is the second wave I need to look out for instead, this is about to get worse than I thought. Ugh, it's disgusting, not to mention I feel bad for all these people who have been turned this way... I'll bet this "Director" plans on using them all for some nefarious purpose sooner or later. But for what? To harvest all their souls at once when the time is right? I'd try to take another guess and figure the Director is into having armies of the undead, but they're hardly a threat in the state they're in now. Even I've been able to handle them easily enough on my own! ...Though, it would have been easier if a certain someone didn't abandon me. I swear, his head is going to be throbbing for a week next time I see him.
Enough of that, I told myself to keep it together! As a student of Shibusen, it's my duty to make sure I can finish this mission successfully, properly armed or not! Who needs him, anyway? If I can face off that horde of cattle and give those zombies a piece of my mind, then I-- ...Er, wait, I only meant that figuratively. When they keep trying to give me handfuls of theirs, I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to do the same for them.

Character: Prussia aka Gilbert Beilschmidt
Age: 800~900 years, appears 20-ish
Series: Axis Powers: Hetalia!
Canon: If you’ve ever wondered just what certain nations may have been thinking during time of strife and war--look no farther! Axis Powers: Hetalia! stars the nations Italy, Germany, and Japan as people and shows all the hijinks that may have been included in a more comedic view of World War II. Not just that, but this series has branched out into other historical time periods and other nations, as well! One such nation--WHO NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION BUT HE'S GETTING ONE ANYWAY--is the former Kingdom of Prussia, a nation founded on and renowned for its military prowess that was abolished by the Allied Powers in 1947.
Prussia himself is the loud and uncouth older brother of straight-laced and rule-strict Germany. As a former nation, Prussia finds himself with a lot of free times on his hands which, inevitably, leads to his causing trouble for, harassing, or just plain annoying other nations of the world. It’s not that he is a bad nation, necessarily, but more that he is the shounen retard of all nations and believes himself too awesome for other people to stand. This is even despite being conned into buying useless things, being tricked into embarrassing situations, or even crying his eyes out into his favorite brand of beer. They are tears of joy and manliness and let no one tell you differently! Most importantly, above all else, Prussia is a doting older brother who also just happens to bum around and give said younger brother a migraine now and again.

VICTORY TO ME!
I told you plebeians that there was no way you were going to have this awesome me for dinner! Cannibals! Zombies! My brains are too good for the likes of you! ... no, seriously, you're all push-overs that just fall apart at the sight of me, not that I can blame you. Kind of pathetic, you know. Especially this guy since he's trying to talk without. You know. A head. T-that's not creepy at all. Why would I be scared of anything like that? H-hey, stop giving me those looks, all of you! Even you--yes, you! The one with the eye dangling out of its socket! My face is where you should be looking! Not my vital regions!
As for trying to drag me out to some barbecue, you only succeeded in catching me off guard because I was too busy admiring the beauty of the... corn?--CORN around us! Shut up, headless one, those weren’t tears at all. I can’t help that it rained last night! And I was caught out in it! Hence why I was in the middle of the cornfield on my own in the middle of nowhere! It all makes sense now, doesn’t it? You couldn’t capture me if you even had the chance now! For one, I’m onto you! For another, if you really want to catch someone as awesome as me, you need to exploit their weaknesses! This is an important military tactic that I’ve been known to use on occasion--no, not the seizing of vital regions. You’re definitely not at that level yet.
Take Plebeian Number One here for example. Purple fur! --Wait a minute, why is there a gorilla here now?
Well, whatever. You’re wasting my time! I was only coming out here to have a moment alone--I like being alone, didn’t I already tell you that? If you want someone for your barbecue, take this ape with you! His pea-sized brain would probably taste good with a bit of mesquite. Not that my brains wouldn’t, of course. They are my awesome brains afte--THAT WAS NOT AN INVITATION! H-hey! Lemme go! I TOLD YOU I’M NOT INTERESTED IN A SECOND DATE!
