Character: Allen Walker
Series: D. Gray-Man
Age: 15

Canon: In the imaginary end of the 19th century, there exists a thousand-year-old heartmarking phantom in a very fine hat. Known as the Millennium Earl, he preys on loss and despair to create Akuma - living weapons who feast on humans and play a central role in the Earl's grand scenario to bring about the end of the world. Luckily for humanity, there exists an order of the Vatican known as the Black Priests - or Exorcists - whose purpose it is to prevent this scenario from playing out. Allen Walker is one such Exorcist, determined to end the suffering of the trapped Akuma souls; a path he believes he must walk after making his own adoptive father into an Akuma and receiving a powerful curse. As a result, his scarred left eye allows him to see the true forms of the twisted Akuma souls, hovering behind their human vessels. The world, as he sees it, is hell.

Despite this heavy burden, Allen is unfailingly compassionate and polite, possessing an indomitable spirit, an unbreakable heart, and a courageous, self-sacrificing nature. He has thrown himself into danger countless times - to save his friends, to save total strangers, and even to save his enemies. Of course, he also has his flaws: for example, his height complex (can anybody say "beansprout?"), and his stunning ability to get lost while walking in a straight line. On top of that, he is also an unbeatable swindler, a skill acquired to pay the gambling and whoring debts of his Master, Exorcist General Cross. Overall, he is everything one might expect from a priest raised as a circus clown; a little bit na•ve, a little bit strange, and often just short of amazing. Ah! I said short...

[Note: I am taking Allen from shortly before the fight with Soman Dark. Allen and his companions are searching for Allen's wayward Master, following Timcampi, a golem who resembles a Golden Snitch, and who is not a sometimes food.]

This place is very dark, and definitely not China. There are no pandas here, only alligators and - and I don't know what that is, except a little... disturbing. Timcampi, I really don't think that Master is anywhere near here. I cannot quite see him enjoying himself in a place where the women are decaying instead of sashaying, and - Timcampi?

Oh, not again.

Ah, my apologies for intruding, but it seems my guide has been abducted by an... extraordinarily fanged cat. How scary! If it wouldn't be too much trouble, would somebody please tell me where I am, and perhaps give me a hand? I am on an important mission, you see, and have lost track of my friends. And - and myself, though I am a little more worried about them than I am about - ow!

Oh, dear. It appears that I might need, ah, more than just "a hand" to retrieve Timcampi. Several hands, perhaps. What a monster!

But first - ah, please excuse my lack of manners. My name is Allen Walker, and while I am only passing through, I wouldn't say no to a warm place to sleep for the night. Longer, perhaps, if retrieving Timcampi continues to prove troublesome. If you'll pardon me for saying so, it seems you could use the services of both a priest and an Exorcist. While I don't see any Akuma, I - you do realize that your dead are - not - I mean, they're -

Ah, you do realize. And that is what the shotguns are for? How very... sad? Yes, there is something very sad about this place. Walking dead aside, it really feels like dying, everywhere. Like trying to escape, but never being able to. Mm... Well, in that case, perhaps you could use an entertainer rather than a priest! It'd be nice to see everybody smile a little bit more! Ah, the people who wouldn't lose a jaw if they tried to smile, anyway. Though the zombies are welcome to watch, too! I don't want to exclude anybody, so... ah, who here likes card tricks? Juggling? Let me just -

... and that is not a ball. That is a head. And I am - I'm sorry. I am so sorry. I'm just going to push you back into the ground now.

Yes. Well, um... yes.

Character: Willow Rosenberg
Series: Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Age: 18 (Season 3 of Buffy)

Canon: Willow is Buffy and Xander's best friend. You could say she is the Velma of the 'Scooby Gang' that consists of Buffy, the slayer, Xander, and Buffy's watcher/trainer, Giles. She may be brainy, nerdy, and socially awkward but at the same time she's loyal, protective of her friends and helps in any way she can during the dire situations that are often taking place on the Hellmouth.

Willow's levelheaded, a quick thinker and can put you in your place if need be. However, she can also be a doormat, lack confidence and she can let her emotions get the best of her at times. Her special Scoobie skills include hacking into databases and excelling in all academics. She also dabbles in magic and studying witchcraft, but is currently oblivious to just how powerful she really is.

*Received permission from Buffy and Xander muns for a mention.

I'm kinda worried. Buffy and Xander have been gone at this summer camp much longer than a summer and as far as I know, seasons aren't supposed to change while you're at camp. Its spring now meaning another summer is on its way and that's not helping my worry. There must have been a good reason why Giles sent Buffy there, like maybe a new big bad or an apocalypse. I'm not a fan of either of those, so if there is any badness, then Buffy might need back up and Xander...well, he's fragile.

And I can help fight evil too...although it doesn't involve actual fighting or any blood loss on my part. I tried to do some research to find any information on this Camp Fuck You Die, but all I got were error messages saying "DIE! DIE! DIE!" and that's never good. Maybe I was a little rash in going in for the rescue, but I brought a compass and everything, so I don't understand how I got lost in the woods. Actually, I've never really been in the woods or any wood like area. Mostly just parks and my backyard, so they're probably not the same.

I didn't think the woods could be so creepy in a serial killer is on the loose kind of way. . I'll just try to find a forest ranger type person and figure out where I am exactly. I really shouldn't be so jumpy, I should be used to fearing for my life by now.

Besides, the woods are nature. Nature is good. Nature has plants and trees, totally non-threatening and safe. I just like it more during the day and when it's not so grabby. I don't want to be one with nature in...that way. Oh, and see, animals! Like that bunny, and another bunny...oh, they're so cute, all snuggly like. I've always wanted one. Huh. Bunnies aren't usually fangy are they? Or meat eaters. Poor squirrel, he didn't even see that coming. They're, uh, kinda coming a little too close there…ok, walking faster now.

Hey, there are some cabins ahead and hey, light! Wait, I see a sign...it's- it's hard to read, let me....Camp Fu---

Oh! oh.

Character: Killua Zoldyck
Series: Hunter x Hunter
Age: 12

Canon: Once upon a time, Killua was a badass eleven year old assassin, raised in a family of other badass assassins. He rode skateboards, talked amicably with just about anyone, and occasionally ripped out still beating hearts with his bare hands just to show off. Then he met Gon, his very first friend, and decided to give up the assassination gig (which, admittedly, he was already bored with) in order to follow Gon around and just be a regular ol' kid. Now, when he isn't fighting/running away from crazy powerful ninja-thieves, tracking down Gon's mysterious father, or training to shoot lightning out of his fingertips, Killua mostly likes to have stupid guy contests, gamble, eat cake, and discover new and interesting ways to beat the everliving crap out of people with a pair of yo-yos.

Killua is cool, laid-back, confident, and occasionally something of a brat. But to fair, being able to knock out over a thousand people in under five minutes would probably make you kind of cocky too. Killua treats most people with anything from amiable disinterest to cheerful superiority, and the only time this changes is with close friends (read: Gon) or threatening enemies. In the latter case he's known to either revert to Scary Demon Child Assassin Mode, or prudently haul ass and run, depending on how powerful the enemy truly is.

Wo~w, this place really is something else! They told me on my way in that the barrier was impossible to get back out of, so of course I had to try it out. But it looks like they weren't kidding -- no matter what I try, I can't get back through.

So! I guess that means the only way out of here is to solve the case, huh? That's pretty great, actually. If you're all here, that means no one's solved it yet, so the prize money must still up for grabs, just like my brother said. Good thing, too. I had to fork over twenty million jenis to get him to tell me the location of this place! Aargh, that was my entire month's allowance for candy too! Gon, you really owe me.

Anyway, you're probably all here for the same reason as me. If that's it then I guess that means we're competition! My name's Killua, and if you think I'm the murderer, that's fine. But I don't really have much to say about myself, so if you want to know about me you're going to have to find your own sources. My friend Gon is here with me, and the same pretty much goes for him even if he's no good at keeping secrets. He should be around here somewhere... probably still trying to kill three hundred of those zombies before me, even though I finished a while ago.

Oh, and don't worry about trying to help us just 'cause we're kids. It's kind of annoying when people always think that, and anyway, Gon and I like to play these types of games on our own. There was really just one thing I wanted to know; my brother suggested this place to me because he said that people who die here come back to life, and so if I came here I could practice killing a lot without having to feel bad about it!

So I was wondering if that's true? Haha, just because that sounds pretty interesting, though! Don't worry, killing isn't something I need any practice in anyway.

Character: Gon Freecss (Of A Thousand Spellings, we are going with Viz for safety!)
Series: Hunter x Hunter
Age: 12

Canon: The Hunter's Exam! A test to give the biggest shounen retards on the planet the most powerful license in the world. With a Hunter's license they can enter any country, access nearly all publicly prohibited areas, and use 95% of public facilities for free. Banks even treat them as if they were a top-rated company. No, we don't know what they're thinking either. It's a grueling and merciless process, filled with assassins, ninjas, and pedophilic magicians in clown outfits. And then there's Gon, the adorable little island boy, who passed on his very first try.

Gon has none of the glory of the Hunters in mind, and only wants to find his father, a legendary Hunter that's been missing for years. He's innocent, cheerful, wide-eyed, determined, and is guaranteed to have an excited grin in the face of danger, challenge, and candy. He loves and respects animals and is willing to hold motherless baby monsters to protect them, even while they claw at his arms. Armed with the refined senses of any animal himself, he can track a friend across a forest by the smell of his aftershave, and talks to seagulls for tips on the weather. He's incapable of holding a grudge and isn't very concerned with issues of right or wrong; his best friend Killua is an ex-assassin, after all. Gon can be very observant and insightful regarding situations and people, and since he attends forgiveness club with Jesus, he often befriends people who break his arms or threaten to cut off his limbs. Overall, he's loyal, adventure-loving, and destined to be the Best Hunter Evar without ever meaning to be. Aww.

Oh wow, the toucans were right! You really do feel this crazy need to turn around and bash yourself into the invisible barrier as soon as you step inside! I told them it wasn't really nice to laugh since they hit glass all the time, but I guess it was pretty funny the fourth time. My nose hurts.

But if I could just get back through it would be too easy, so I'm glad! Killua's brother told us this place was a puzzle nobody had solved yet, and it looks like it's true. We came since it's kind of exciting to play a mystery murder game, and because Killua gambled away all his candy money again. But even if we're stuck here for a while, that's okay! There are so many cool people to meet, like talking statues and forest monsters and ninjas with hair! I've never met a ninja with hair before. Oh, and if anyone sees Killua, tell him I already killed my three hundred zombies and he's being slow!

By the way, your forest is kind of crazy. The berries tasted so funny I couldn't eat them, and the plants tried to grab at me! And the gorillas didn't want to be friends at all. I tried asking them if they were mad because they were the wrong color, but they just got really huffy and said it was their natural color. Then said they would prove it and attacked me before I could even say I was sorry! So I just hit them on the head and went somewhere else. Weirdo gorillas. The only normal thing about them was they said they liked bananas.

Anyway, even if the gorillas are crazy, this place is still lots of fun to explore. I met a moogle! Well, that's what he called himself, anyway. I lived in the forest for years and I saw lots of bear-foxes and crab-fish, but I've never seen a pompom-bear before! The one I met said his name is Joojo, and he was kind of cranky and mumbled something about labor unions and working over forty hours a week and anti-Quincy signs. I didn't really get it. But he was really nice after we talked a while, even if he got really worried when I told him about the gorillas. He said I should go to camp and say that I need an adult.

So, um. Hi, my name is Gon! I need an adult!

Character: Moses Sandor
Series: Tales of Legendia
Age: 17

Applicant #1

Canon: Tales of Legendia is a story driven RPG game with your not-so-usual assortment of heroes who meet in rather antagonistic ways, and somehow end up working together anyways. Bandits, thieves, informants, traitors, exiles and dishonored knights... Yep, these are the good guys saving the world. Gotta love it!

Coming in with our bandit category is Moses Sandor. Moses is a beast tamer turned bandit chief who's searching for an ultimate power known as Sacred Eres. He's loud, crude, quick to violence, and is only barely dressed by civilized standards. Contrary to this, he's fiercely protective of his adoptive family of bandits and rather dedicated to his own set of morals. Once decided, he will never back down once he's declared something as 'right' or 'wrong.' No matter how much you hit him.

Moses also has a grand galf (a rather large, saber toothed wolf) he tamed by the name of Giet, who shows more sense than Moses does on occasion...

All right. All right. I'm beat, so I gotta be a man an' admit it all upfront like. I prolly should've guessed that the tip the lil' brat gave me wasn't so hot after it directed me to jump off a cliff at the end. ... Not that I'm all that sure what happened after that, but now I'm here, and NO sign of Sacred Eres anywhere.

Not that this here place weren't a bad sorta joint to fall into. Right fair camp ya'll have got set up out here already. Not much in the way of loot, but thems some FINE women you have here for yourselves. And the name? Fuck You Die gang... Now that's just something a man can hitch up his pants and strut over. Heh, I might have to use it when I get home.

Now, I ain't all that keen on the invisible barrier stuff. That's not quite what I'd call playin' fair, but gotta say it's some impressive eres at work. The thing I've gotta beef with? Them monsters ya'll got wandering around here. I mean, there'll always be monsters as sure as there's another day, but what the hell beast tamer ya'll got tellin' 'em to do THAT?!

It's not right, man, just not RIGHT! I don't really have the heart to tell ol' Giet to stop chewing on the last one who'd tried something funny. Eheheh, ya'll ain't bothered none by the mess, right?

But what I'm getting at? There's some ways o' fighting that beast to beast if you catch my meaning. That big ol' galf over there? Friend an' family if I ever had any, goes by the name o' Giet. Who's kinda ignorin' me at the moment, 'stead of helpin'. Cold, man. Now he'd be the reason I just don't up an' tame these here critters myself. A jealous galf just ain't something ya'll wanna see, but I ain't got a problem with showin' someone else before I move on.

So if any of ya'll boys wanna join up with me all temporary like, I'm cool with showin' you a bit of the trade. Not to worry! We'd start slow with... huh, actually everythin' around here's kinda imposing. Gotta be... gotta be... That'll work!

Who wants this nice shiny ol' title of King of the Squirrels?

Just look at them fangs! Them overwhelmin' numbers! The... okay, fine. So it's not gorillas or them huge lizard things, but a man's gotta start somewhere. ...think it's kinda cool m'self.

Applicant #2

Canon: Moses Sandor is a pretty uncomplicated guy; he's called a lot of things during the game, but none of them are "clever" or "sharp." In fact, they're generally along the lines of "savage" and "stupid bandit." He's very proud, and loves to brag about his abilities, while the rest of the party ignores him, or else attempts to puncture his ego. And he IS savage and a bandit, and really not too bright - but he's a deeply caring guy who sticks with his friends and his chosen family no matter what, who believes intensely in his ability to overcome any obstacle. As the apper is taking Moses from directly after the main quest, but prior to the character quests, he is accompanied at most times by a very large wolf-like creature called a Grand Galf, whom he named Giet. He likes good parties, good fights, and curvy women.

Reference to Jay was done with player's permission.

Okay, I heard the monsters were gettin' tougher, but what's with this? I knock these weird-ass guys down and they get back up again, and they just keep doing it! Not that it's any problem for me, of course! Just leave it to me an' Giet, we'll get rid of your monster problem in no time.

Uh, though maaaaybe I should find the gang first. Wouldn't want to make them miss out on all the fun, right? Right! So. Anyone seen a white-haired kid dressed like an Alliance Marine, or an old man in orange with a big-ass hammer? Hell, even the little guy would be welcome right now. How about it? Wears his hair in a ponytail on the side of his head and too short to see over a gnat's back? Told him he shouldn't be picky about his food, but noooo. No one listens to Moses.

...uh, hey. So, you seen 'em?

Tch, fine, ignore me. Makes me feel right at home. Giet and me'll just find 'em on our own. So the town's that way, right? Great, thanks. But, uh, before I go... d'you need help off that stick? Can't be very comfortable, and that straw in your clothes has gotta be scratchy.

Oh, I get it, you just want me to go away. Fine, then, keep your silent treatment. We're goin', Giet! Giet. Giet. Don't piss on the guy-

- scarecrow. I knew that. So, let's go find the town, eh, Giet?

Wait. Giet, why're you running? Hey, slow dow- shiiiiiiiiit. Hey, Mr. Scarecrow, sorry about those pants, really. It'll come right out with a little elbow grease, so just put the scythe down nice an' easy... ah, hell. Giet! Wait up!
