Character: Tracey Sketchit
Series: Pokemon (The Bulbapedia)
Character Age: mid-teens
Canon: Tracey is a Pokemon Watcher, which
means he travels around observing Pokemon in their natural
habitats and drawing them. He greatly admires the famous
Professor Oak, and when he met Ash and Misty in the Orange
Islands and learned that they were Oak's friends, he
immediately invited himself to join them on their journey
in hopes of getting to meet his idol.
Tracey is usually kind and soft-spoken but he can be
aggressive, usually when encountering people mistreating
Pokemon, and easily excited when it comes to Pokemon and
his other interests. He's also kind of goofy, and easily
embarrassed -- when first meeting Professor Oak, he
blushed and shook and couldn't speak straight.
Sample Post:
Oh, wow, this place is incredible! There are so
many species of Pokemon I've never seen before -- I've got
to sketch them! I wonder if Professor Oak will know what
they are. That one in the lake must be an evolved form of
Tentacruel, and the aggressive "books" in the library have
to be psychic-types; one of them was reading my mind and
printing my thoughts in it as I had them! I don't think
any of that stuff it printed about the professor is safe
for the younger kids here, though.
Ash, Brock, this is where you've been? Have you caught any
new Pokemon? You'll have to let me observe them! The
Pokemon here have such unusual habits -- I saw a
flower-type eating a rabbit-type, and it's usually the
other way around. I should catch one of them and transfer
it to Professor Oak.
Speaking of which, my Pokemon are kind of tired, and I
need to get in touch with Professor Oak and let him know I
arrived here safely! Where's this town's Pokemon Center?
...what do you mean there isn't one? What kind of place is
this? How do you heal your Pokemon? How does
Brock survive without the daily recommended dosage of
Nurse Joy?

Character: Greed (v.2.0)
Series: Fullmetal Alchemist [Manga]
Age: . . . 15.
Canon: Once upon a time there a ninja prince of Xing, Ling Yao, who dreamed of one day becoming Emperor. Quite an ambitious dream to chase, what with forty-two different brothers and sisters to compete against. With his father, the current Emperor, wasting away he decided to bring back immortality to raise his chances at being named successor. His quest eventually led him to the neighboring country of Amestris in search of the fabled Philosopher's Stone. He ran into the Elrics shortly after arriving and invited himself to their party -- a wise move as it eventually led him to the chance to become a homunculus. A chance he readily took, believing it to be the end of his quest. And it really was! He has a Philosopher's Stone firmly in his grasp now. Trouble is, it happens to be his heart.
Thus, Ling's body and soul gave way to another host - that of Greed. However, Ling is still clinging stubbornly, constantly attempting to regain control and making his thoughts and desires clear to Greed -- a voice in the back of his mind. Greed isn't worried -- he's maintained near complete control of the body they share. He's somewhat annoyed by the takeover attempts, but at the same time likes Ling well enough to speak for him at times, even passing on messages to the retainers he's so devoted to. Greed himself is a pretty decent guy -- though for a homunculus, that's not saying much. His few morals include that he won't fight women or lie. He's also casual, laid-back and can even be friendly at times! But ultimately he is still Greed and as such has a lust for, well, EVERYTHING.
Sample Post:
Quite an interesting place you've all got here. It's lacking a certain kind of . . . class, but for a bunch of humans you've done pretty well for yourselves out here! A lot better than I expected in the middle of a dump filled with color-coded chimera rejects. I can see why Envy wanted out if he had to deal with these every day. Tch. Couldn't the old man have sent Gluttony as a replacement instead? He might even lose some weight for once -- not much here looks edible even by his standards.
And these zombies you fellas got here? I knew you humans could be stubborn -- got some personal experience there. But finding backwards a way around dying like that? You guys'll really go to any length for what you want, won't you? I gotta say it's impressive.
But I wouldn't recommend anyone else trying it that way. Too smelly. If you're gonna do something like that you should only go for the best. Who wants to settle for eternal life rotting away when there's something better out there? Hell, anything's better than having to check for your parts every morning like those fellas do.
Ahh, right! I forgot about introductions, didn't I? The name's Greed -- don't listen to whatever those Elric fellas tell you. And speaking of those guys, lemme know if you've seen them. One's a real shorty, and the other goes around in this huge suit of armor. They're a real important pair, y'see, and I'm . . . an old friend of theirs. They've probably been missing me as long as they've been here. It'd really make my day if you could point me to 'em.
Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go have a chat with these toucans. I got enough chatter in the back of my head as it is.

Character: Haruno Sakura
Series: Naruto (latest chapters)
Character Age: 15-16
Canon: You've all heard the story. Boy has a demon fox inside him. Boy wants to become the Hokage of the village. Boy defies the odds, survives 12 years on his own, defeats bad guy ass and makes everyone's little world a better while he's at it. Oh yeah, and boy, known as Uzumaki Naruto, is a ninja.
Haruno Sakura is one of Naruto's closest friends and his teammate, along with Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi. When Sasuke leaves Konoha to follow Orochimaru, the three teammates are split up and train with their respective teachers for almost three years. Sakura was trained by Tsunade, a medic-nin and the current Hokage of their village. While she was considered the weakest of the team three years ago, she's determined to put in her all, to prove that she's come as far as they have. She's an accomplished med-nin and has super-strength, both thanks to her superior chakra control. Sakura's not the type of girl to take anything lying down, and she'll show everyone just how much she's grown; that she's not willing to lose anyone anymore. Especially not Sasuke-kun.
Sample Post:
Naruto! I know you're here. Tsunade-sama's already briefed me on the mission, and I can't believe you went ahead of me again. Not only that, but you've dragged others into this mess? What am I going to do with you? Did you at least remember the mission parameters? It won't do if you've forgotten already.
Anyway, everyone. I'm Haruno Sakura, gorgeous kunoichi at your service. I apologise for the mess I left about a kilometer back, but those guys just wouldn't leave me alone. I was going to let bygones be bygones - those soft little punches to their groins didn't count - but one of them tried to use his left arm as a weapon and that put all bets off. I've never seen a jutsu like that before, but it was weak. Please, I only look pretty and gentle - ehehe, thank you! Do you really think so? - but just let me put on my gloves.
You can send the bill to Tsunade-sama. She won the lottery just before she sent me, so she'll have plenty of money. And she won't mind a bit. In fact, I think she almost suspected it. I mean, I'm not that violent, it's just - oh, oh hold on. I need to remove this gorilla from my person.
There, much better. This way we can actually talk without anything getting in the way, hmm? I like this place, you know. It seems peaceful and quiet compared to Konoha, even if half of us seem to be here, anyway. All these new people to meet, seems easy. Maybe I'll be able to get some free time and just relax. No yelling, no people jumping across the rooftop, no wondering if you need to go and clean Naruto's apartment again before the ramen starts to rev-what the hell do you mean I still have to do that? I swear I'm going to teach him some manners someday. And what's that?
Sasuke-kun?
... Excellent. Oh, no. These are my happy gloves.

Character: Kurosaki Ichigo
Series: Bleach
Age: 15
Canon: Kurosaki Ichigo is none of the following: tactful, methodical, a strawberry, or anything remotely approaching ordinary. What he is, however, is a Substitute Death God, really goddamn lucky, and also sort of screwed. But we'll get to that. Raised by Doctor "Daddy" Kurosaki after his mother met an Unfortunate And Emo-Inducing Demise (TM), Ichigo's childhood taught him many important facts about life, the universe, and normalcy. Such as, real friends protect each other no matter what; seeing ghosts is nothing unusual; and waking up to Daddy trying to drop-kick you in the face is just his way of showing that he cares, really. Things get really weird, however, when a couple of guys who were up to no good started makin' trouble in his neighbourhood - so after getting stabinated in the stomach, thrown down a pit, spit on, stepped on, and blasted out of a cannon (to name a few), Ichigo saves Soul Society, gets the girl, and all is right with the world.
... yeah right. The work of a shounen retard hero is never done, and at the current point in the manga, Ichigo is, as always, trying to get better-faster-stronger to save his city from the forces of I Used To Be Dorky But Now I'm Evil. But despite all the shit he's gone through, Ichigo remains, at heart, the same caustic idiot he's always been. He glares. He scowls. He remains completely oblivious to the repetitive and desperate efforts of logic to penetrate his thick skull. And somehow? He's still kind of cool. Intensely loyal and protective of his family and friends, the one thing Ichigo wants more than anything is to make sure that everybody he cares about is safe. And if he can't protect them, he'll get smacked around like a little bitch, lose more blood than could concievably be contained in the human body, then get back up again and kick some ass. Because he's Ichigo. And that's just what Ichigo, his split personality, and his oversized phallic symbol do. Alriiight.
Sample Post:
Oi. Oi.
Got a couple questions for everyone. Mostly starts with "what the hell" and maybe "no really" and possibly "couldn't you get a bigger budget for this thing?" I've seen better-quality zombies in the produce aisle on 10% off day and I don't even get the goddamn coupon for a free loaf of raisin bread, here.
Raisins, I said. Raisins, not brains. Different leading consonant. Also, please invest in a breath mint. Also, pretty damn sure that's what we call SLIGHT NON-CON, so GET OFF MY HEAD before I try to score a field goal with your cranium. Yeah, yeah, I said get OFF!
... not like that never like that what. I think I need an adult.
Seriously, somebody? Counsellors? There's gotta be counsellors, right? It's a summer camp. Though, not exactly what I had in mind. A little different from the brochures. No fat kids eating hot dogs, no campfires, no goddamn ponies except for that one with the red eyeshadow, not asking. I'd start thinking I'm in the wrong place, really, except for, you know. This one time, Isshin sent me to ballerina camp, so. Kind of used to not getting what I expect. And yeah, I'm a pretty, pretty princess. Thanks for asking.
Other than the crap zombies, though, you've got some pretty educational things going down, here, right? Cultural studies, and all that. I hear the "pass the oozing tropical facial disease" game is popular in some parts of the uncivilized world. Like Utah. And those bunnies. With the little itty bitty hats. Looks like something Ishida'd knit. With the bows. And the metrosexual little pinstripes. And... what, you mean Ishida's actually here? Huh. Well.

Character: Naminé
Series: Kingdom Hearts (Chain of Memories, KH2)
Character Age: . . . either ~1 or ~15?
Canon: Naminé is a Nobody (a person without a heart), and a witch who uses her powers by drawing. She uses crayons and coloured pencils to create many sketches of the memories of Sora and those around him, and those pictures affect their memories. She loves Sora and Riku a great deal, and has a strong conscience, something most Nobodies seem to lack. Once timid, weak, and lonely, once she is spurred into gaining the will to stand up for what she feels is right, she never loses it, and she becomes highly determined. Her tact isn't very good, but she doesn't deliberately hurt people - unless they're hurting the ones she cares about. Mystery is her stock in trade.
The apper also apologizes for pictures in post, but, it's Naminé, you know?
Sample Post:
This is the place, isn't it? Mm, I can feel him. His presence is very strong.
Ah, hello. My name is Naminé. I've just arrived. Perhaps one of you will help me; is there a way of communicating with the zombies? I would like to tell them that yes, I am a witch, and they needn't bother the ducks anymore. I don't need to be weighed. I do appreciate the warm welcome; the fire feels very nice. I wasn't cold enough to need to be in it though, so I hope no one minds that I moved before it was lit.
I want to meet you all. I feel like I already know so much about you. I will find my way out of the forest soon, and then we can talk more. There is a mimic here that does a very good impression of a white-sand beach, did you know? It was impressive, but a little out of place in pines and hemlock. I didn't tell it. This can be our secret.
Can you tell me something? I know you have all seen the boy in this picture, but is this one here as well? No? Perhaps this picture would be more recognizable?
So Sora, Roxas, and Axel are all here. Is this the answer I wished for? It seems a roundabout solution, but if it works, I won't complain. Riku, you must be here as well; you wouldn't be left behind so easily. I'm very glad we can talk again, the two of us.
The night sky is unusually empty, don't you think? And the glow of the lake makes it hard to see what stars remain. But look, there's Gemini. Sora, Roxas, I'll be there soon.
Shooting stars? Are you glad to see me, then?

Character: Tsukino Usagi/Sailormoon
Series: Sailormoon
Character Age: 16
Canon: Tsukino Usagi is as sharp as a marble. Constantly getting failing
grades, always late for school, skipping study groups to go to the arcade,
her flaws are numerous. Usagi is extremely naive, and too trusting, as she
tends not to know what is going on and trusts anybody and everybody. But
you could never ask for a better friend. This girl is the definition of
pure. She wields the strongest weapon in the series in the ginzuishou.
She would do anything (including readily giving up her life) to protect her
friends from harm. If the villain can be saved,then she will do anything to
save them as well.
Note: I'm taking this Usagi from the last season, Sailor Stars, so she's at

Character: Terry McGinnis (Batman II)
Series: Batman Beyond ( http://www.batbeyond.com/ )
Character Age: 17 ( http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/beyond/bios/batman/ )
Canon: Terry McGinnis was your average snark-filled, rebellion-happy teenager of the future. Then one night, he picked a fight with a street gang, and found himself being saved by none other than Bruce Wayne, the former Batman. After helping the elderly man back to the house, Bruce fell asleep, and Terry was trapped in the mansion by the guard dog. Poking around in the study, Terry found the entrance to the Batcave and discovered Bruce's secret.
The rest is a downward spiral involving the murder of Terry's father and the introduction of the Batsuit, a new-age costume that not only has incredibly cool gadgets, but enhances the wearer's physical abilities. Terry broke into Wayne Manor and stole the suit to avenge his father... and failed somewhat miserably. But then: Bruce hired him as the new Batman! (Quite the after school job, huh?)
Over the course of the series, Bruce and Terry fall into an uneasy mentor/protege relationship that makes Terry seem more like a Robin than Batman, but Bruce stays at the computer in the Batcave, offering guidance through a radio in his mask. As Batman, Terry is impulsive, emotional, and a bit naive... and missions always come at inconvenient times. Like when he's taking a test, or going on a date, or babysitting his little brother.
Sample Post:
For this, I'm missing a date? I don't know who gave the bad guys teleportation devices, but I could be chasing them around all night at this rate.

My GPS just got fried. ... Hello? Earth to the Batcave?
...Slag it, my com is dead. I should've realized that when he wasn't yelling at me. "This is more important than dinner, crime doesn't wait for the creme brule," or whatever.
C'mon, Terry, think, what would the old man be telling you to do right now? ...assess the situation. Okay, I've got trees, and more trees, and... trees with faces? I think I might've landed on my head again----aah, get off me! I've got hedge clippers and I know how to use them!! Alright, so I don't. I hope getting here didn't fry my cloaking device. With my luck, there's probably a 'do not teleport' warning on the back of this suit, under 'hand wash only.'
Hah, it still works! Can't catch me now, can you? That's what you get for messing with Batma----oof.
Who put that branch there? Slagging tree, you did that on purpose.... fine. But can you fly? Because I can. Eat propane, you menacing maple. No, wait.. Hazardous hickory? Sinister sequoia! ACK! Let go, it's not my fault I don't know what kind of tree you are, I slept through bio! And that's the old man's fault, too, he'd kept me up fighting madmen with chainsaws... which would come in handy right about now.
Put me -- ow -- ack -- oof -- down!

Looks like something Ishida'd knit. With the bows. And the metrosexual little pinstripes. And... what, you mean Ishida's actually here? Huh. Well.
Isn't that just ducky.

Character: Naminé
Series: Kingdom Hearts (Chain of Memories, KH2)
Character Age: . . . either ~1 or ~15?
Canon: Naminé is a Nobody (a person without a heart), and a witch who uses her powers by drawing. She uses crayons and coloured pencils to create many sketches of the memories of Sora and those around him, and those pictures affect their memories. She loves Sora and Riku a great deal, and has a strong conscience, something most Nobodies seem to lack. Once timid, weak, and lonely, once she is spurred into gaining the will to stand up for what she feels is right, she never loses it, and she becomes highly determined. Her tact isn't very good, but she doesn't deliberately hurt people - unless they're hurting the ones she cares about. Mystery is her stock in trade.
The apper also apologizes for pictures in post, but, it's Naminé, you know?

This is the place, isn't it? Mm, I can feel him. His presence is very strong.
Ah, hello. My name is Naminé. I've just arrived. Perhaps one of you will help me; is there a way of communicating with the zombies? I would like to tell them that yes, I am a witch, and they needn't bother the ducks anymore. I don't need to be weighed. I do appreciate the warm welcome; the fire feels very nice. I wasn't cold enough to need to be in it though, so I hope no one minds that I moved before it was lit.
I want to meet you all. I feel like I already know so much about you. I will find my way out of the forest soon, and then we can talk more. There is a mimic here that does a very good impression of a white-sand beach, did you know? It was impressive, but a little out of place in pines and hemlock. I didn't tell it. This can be our secret.
Can you tell me something? I know you have all seen the boy in this picture, but is this one here as well? No? Perhaps this picture would be more recognizable?
So Sora, Roxas, and Axel are all here. Is this the answer I wished for? It seems a roundabout solution, but if it works, I won't complain. Riku, you must be here as well; you wouldn't be left behind so easily. I'm very glad we can talk again, the two of us.
The night sky is unusually empty, don't you think? And the glow of the lake makes it hard to see what stars remain. But look, there's Gemini. Sora, Roxas, I'll be there soon.
Shooting stars? Are you glad to see me, then?

Character: Tsukino Usagi/Sailormoon
Series: Sailormoon
Character Age: 16
Canon: Tsukino Usagi is as sharp as a marble. Constantly getting failing
grades, always late for school, skipping study groups to go to the arcade,
her flaws are numerous. Usagi is extremely naive, and too trusting, as she
tends not to know what is going on and trusts anybody and everybody. But
you could never ask for a better friend. This girl is the definition of
pure. She wields the strongest weapon in the series in the ginzuishou.
She would do anything (including readily giving up her life) to protect her
friends from harm. If the villain can be saved,then she will do anything to
save them as well.
Note: I'm taking this Usagi from the last season, Sailor Stars, so she's at
her most powerful

Mamo-chan! MAMO-CHAN! Where are you? I flew all the way to America and
you're nowhere to be found! Sir! Hey you! Can you tell me where I am in
America? Brains? Ok! So I'm in Brains, America? Umm...where is that on
the map? Whoops! You almost bit my hand on that one! Is that the way
Americans show you places on the map? In Japan, we just point. Are you ok?
You look awfully pale and tired. Here, have a seat under this tree and
I'll get you something to drink!
Ok, the only thing I could find was that lake over there. The water is a
weird color...oh oh! I know! It's Gatorade! That stuff always comes in
weird colors. Here you go! Just drink thi---HEY! Where are you running off
to?? WAIT! Can you at least show me where the University is??
Mamo-chan...I know you're here somewhere. Ooh! Hey you! Can you show me
where Brains is located in America? Where are you going?! Why won't anyone
tell me what part of America Brains is in?! I need to get to the
University! MAMO-CHAN!!

Character: Terry McGinnis (Batman II)
Series: Batman Beyond ( http://www.batbeyond.com/ )
Character Age: 17 ( http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/beyond/bios/batman/ )
Canon: Terry McGinnis was your average snark-filled, rebellion-happy teenager of the future. Then one night, he picked a fight with a street gang, and found himself being saved by none other than Bruce Wayne, the former Batman. After helping the elderly man back to the house, Bruce fell asleep, and Terry was trapped in the mansion by the guard dog. Poking around in the study, Terry found the entrance to the Batcave and discovered Bruce's secret.
The rest is a downward spiral involving the murder of Terry's father and the introduction of the Batsuit, a new-age costume that not only has incredibly cool gadgets, but enhances the wearer's physical abilities. Terry broke into Wayne Manor and stole the suit to avenge his father... and failed somewhat miserably. But then: Bruce hired him as the new Batman! (Quite the after school job, huh?)
Over the course of the series, Bruce and Terry fall into an uneasy mentor/protege relationship that makes Terry seem more like a Robin than Batman, but Bruce stays at the computer in the Batcave, offering guidance through a radio in his mask. As Batman, Terry is impulsive, emotional, and a bit naive... and missions always come at inconvenient times. Like when he's taking a test, or going on a date, or babysitting his little brother.
Sample Post:
For this, I'm missing a date? I don't know who gave the bad guys teleportation devices, but I could be chasing them around all night at this rate. This is seriously the last job I'm letting you drag me on without at least an hour's notice. You got tha-----damn, I think they hit me! Wayne, I'm in a forest somewhere, can you get a trace? My GPS just got fried. ... Hello? Earth to the Batcave?
...Slag it, my com is dead. I should've realized that when he wasn't yelling at me. "This is more important than dinner, crime doesn't wait for the creme brule," or whatever.
C'mon, Terry, think, what would the old man be telling you to do right now? ...assess the situation. Okay, I've got trees, and more trees, and... trees with faces? I think I might've landed on my head again----aah, get off me! I've got hedge clippers and I know how to use them!! Alright, so I don't. I hope getting here didn't fry my cloaking device. With my luck, there's probably a 'do not teleport' warning on the back of this suit, under 'hand wash only.'
Hah, it still works! Can't catch me now, can you? That's what you get for messing with Batma----oof.
Who put that branch there? Slagging tree, you did that on purpose.... fine. But can you fly? Because I can. Eat propane, you menacing maple. No, wait.. Hazardous hickory? Sinister sequoia! ACK! Let go, it's not my fault I don't know what kind of tree you are, I slept through bio! And that's the old man's fault, too, he'd kept me up fighting madmen with chainsaws... which would come in handy right about now.
Put me -- ow -- ack -- oof -- down!
...I'm gonna need a mechanic.
