Character: Bulma Briefs
Series:
Dragon BallCharacter Age: 18 (About a year after the Red Ribbon Army was defeated)
Canon: In the world of Dragon Ball, people and dinosaurs co-exist, a talking dog is the King of the World, and a lasting friendship is forged between a monkey-tailed boy (who shifts into a rampaging fifty-foot ape under certain lunar conditions), and a girl with an I.Q. that's as impressive as her bank account.
Bulma is the only child of the wealthy and brilliant Dr. Briefs and his flirtatious wife. She is high-strung, moody, self-absorbed, and changes hairstyles almost as often as she changes her mind. If she sets her sights on something, rest assured she'll do whatever it takes to get it, whether that means offering a quick peak at her panties or going just a little
further. She'll put on a brave front if she's in the company of her super-strong friends, but she'll also be quick to run away if the odds shift against them.
Bulma is extremely intelligent, and will flaunt it if the opportunity arises. Shortly after discovering the secret of the dragon balls, she invented the Dragon Ball Radar, a hand-held device that would help locate them. At first, Bulma planned on using the dragon balls to get a lifetime supply of strawberries, but changed her mind and decided to ask for a hunky boyfriend instead.
Sample Post:
This just isn't fair; I was so close to finding that last dragon ball!
I still can't figure out what happened - everything was working fine until I flew over this patch of land. First the dragon ball radar went on the fritz, and then the controls in my plane froze up. I'm just glad I was able to land with nothing worse than a bump on my head!
Ch! I can't say I'm sorry that I knocked over that... person when I landed, either. I mean really, couldn't he tell my plane was in distress? If anything, you'd think my screaming at him to get out of the way would have given him the hint. Besides, he must not have been hurt too badly if he was able to get back up. And then for him to have the audacity to make a pass at me? Not in this lifetime, Buster!
Ok fine, I'll give him credit for mentioning my intelligence although groaning "braaiinns" wasn't the most romantic thing I've ever heard. Still, he could use a good fashion consultant, and he really should see a doctor about those overactive salivary glands. It'such a shame that he wasn't wearing a decent pair of running shoes; he might have been able to keep up with me. Tee hee!
Oh well, it's his loss. Now to get my bearings and find my way back to civilization. Hm... I'm pretty sure I flew over a small village when I was trying to land; I wonder if the natives have some kind of facility where I can fix my engine and the radar.
Hey, with as many trees as there are around here, I bet it's a lumberjack colony! Lumberjacks are macho guys. ♥ ♥ ♥ Tee hee! In that case, I'd better clean up a bit before I head into town! Let's see... Ah! That clearing over there looks large enough for a house. Oh, please let my capsules work!
BOM!
Finally, it's about time something went right for me.
Wow, this place kind of reminds me of Son Goku's home. It's so peaceful with that lake nearby, those cute little... are those rabbits?... fuzzy creatures running around, awesome shade trees --
...
Well.
I guess it wasn't such a hot landing after all. I obviously have a concussion that's making me hallucinate, because the last time I checked, that's not what a "rubber tree" looked like. Jeez, what I wouldn't give for Goku to show up right about now and turn those trees into firewood. Ch! That'd be a wasted panty flash...
Oh well, I can't expect those lumberjacks to wait for me forever, and I know this drool can't be good for my complexion. Hey, with the lake so close, I bet I can whip up a killer mud facial!
Heh heh, maybe this day won't turn out to be so bad after all!
Poll Vote! Character: Apple
Series:
Suikoden IICharacter Age: 18
Canon: Apple appears in the first Suikoden, a student of the strategist Mathiu Silverberg, a man she admires very much. She takes the lessons she learns into the setting of Suikoden II, first acting as the strategist for a mercenary group, but soon learning that she is not enough to win this war; that she'll have to hand over the reins to someone else who is more capable of making quick and sound judgment in war. At the end of that game, she realizes that she has far to go, and gives up the dream of being a strategist, and decides to take up the task of chronicling the life of Mathiu Silverberg and his family.
Apple is being taken from post-Suikoden II, when she has left to travel and learn as much as she can about Mathiu and the Silverbergs. At that point, she still has confidence in what she's learned, but she has some reservations about acting as a strategist. She's quite a nice girl. She tries very hard not to give up, once she believes in something. Usually she can maintain the calm demeanor that a tactician requires, but in the end, she inherited Mathiu's heart, and not his head. She can be a little cutting sometimes in what she says, especially when it concerns things she considers serious business. She usually can end up on the emotional side of things, as a result.
Note - potch is the currency in Suikoden II.
Sample Post:
As the Liberation Army began their final thrust into the heart of the Empire, a blow to fell their enemy, the man who possessed a horrible rune. Sending in the son of one of the greatest Generals, was that great man, Mathiu Silverberg. To know that as they danced the line between victory and defeat, this great man lay dying, and to know that he, like his sister, asked for his death to remain secret for a time, so that hope would not be lost, that despite this betrayal from within, the Liberation Army could and would succeed! It seems that perhaps his plans began so long ago and far away from the city of Gregminster, in the strange land of Camp Fuc--
No, no. That can't be right. Why ever would he come here? Was there some incident here, that he had a hand in? Perhaps family? Friend? Lover...? No. This place had to have something happen in it. Something that brought him clarity and the ability to... to... Somehow, I can't imagine this being a place he'd go to. Why, this isn't the Nameless Lands at all. Camp Fuck You Die. It's pretty tasteless... In any case, the letter I received said that there would be some trace of his legacy here... well, I don't know who else they could be referring to.
It went something like...
DEAR SIR/MADAM,
Welcome from me to you. I know you don't know me, but I found your name from an associate who was here. But please you can be of assistance to me. My name is Ms T. Director and my fiance was killed during a messy incident. Before he died he deposit the sum of 999,999 potch in a security account and I need your help for to act as next of kin to retrieve the potches. We require a sums of 2,000 potch to get the full sum out, Please helping.
Well, it went on from there, but instead of sending my payment through the mail, I decided to come in person. It seems to have been a futile gesture. Maybe the trail has gone cold from here. I hope that I can continue to gather some information that might point me back in the right direction. What resources could a place like this possibly have? Hopefully there some place with books around here... this place can't be entirely uncivilized? Please? Perhaps these colorful gentlemen hanging around might be able to guide me, or supply some kind of information... useful information, I mean.
Well, that is if they could stop staring angrily at me - I haven't done anything to make them... look at me like... Are they grunting? What does that mean?? Oh. Oh my, that's... Erm. Is there someone who can help me instead? I don't like to judge people, but I don't think I'll get along very well with these men, as rough as they are. I mean, I have some experience with rough men - ah, not like that! Dealing with rough men, but at least the ones I know can form entire sentences. My name is Apple, I can find a way to pay you, if you require it -
What do you mean, don't bruise the apple, it won't taste as good? Apple is not for eating!
Poll Vote! Character: Kuwabara Kazuma
Series: Yu Yu Hakusho
Character Age: 14-16ish
Canon: Kuwabara Kazuma is the MAN AND LEGEND of Team Urameshi. Or so he'd like you to believe. He is Urameshi Yuusuke's best friend, rival, and teammate. Even though he's human, Kuwabara has an incredible sixth sense that allows him to sense ghosts, reiki signals, and a good amount of other supernatural related things. He can manipulate his own spiritual energy to form a Reiki Sword, which can penetrate any barrier. Sexual innuendo goes here. All in all though, Kuwabara's a just a big dumb loveable shounen retard that loves kitties and has a really horrible hair-style. His loyalty to his friends knows no bounds and he's got a strict personal code of honor. His one and only love interest is Yukina, who (unknown to Kuwa) is the demon Hiei's sister. HILARITY ENSUES.
Sample Post:
Dammit, Urameshi! NOT COOL. The next time you have to go on one of your stupid "top secret missions," don't tell me there's a team meeting at some opera house! It's not like I'm so stupid I ain't gonna notice when somethin's up! Though that adaption of Carmen was pretty cool, heh.
What the hell is this place anyway? Pretty funky if you ask me. Someone's definitely been slackin' off with clean-up duty though. There's rotting undead EVERYWHERE, can't take a step without one of 'em sprinklin' paprika on my head! And these ain't some run of the mill moanin' and gruntin' zombies, they just have to be the kind that blab on and on about how ugly my face is. Bastards. Except for that one that said my hair was stylin'. Almost caught me off guard for a second there; it's kinda hard to split a guy in two when he's got such good taste!
Gotta say though, some of the plants here are really freakin' me out. If this is some trick of yours Kurama, call 'em off! Gotta keep myself pure for Yukina, ya know? Speaking of, YUKINA MY LOVE, don't stay up too late missing me, babe! I'll send you a postcard, okay? ♥ I found one with kitties on it!...or maybe that was an anteater wearin' a beanie. Uh.
AWRIGHT! Pretty sure the team's been at a loss without havin' me around to back 'em up, so time to get movin'! Kuwabara Kazuma's ready for action! Just point me at a baddie and the gloves come off, man! Nothin's gonna steer me off course! I-

How the hell did I end up in Canada?
Poll Vote! Character: George Michael Bluth
Series: Arrested Development (
Series
wiki,
character
wiki)
Character Age: Teenaged, around 15 to 16
Canon: Arrested Development is the touching story of
a deeply dysfunctional family who run a housing company which may have
been involved in some minor treason. George Michael is the kind of
teenager who wears sweater vests. He's an awkward, socially inept
dork. Like his father, George Michael acts as a bastion of sanity and
morality in a family full of liars, cheats, felons, and anal-rapists
(the world's first combination analyst and therapist). George Michael
often ends up in terrible situations (such as trying to steal
important files or buy his uncle pot) because of his strong family
loyalties and confusion about what "doing the right thing" entails.
He's very pressured and influenced by his father, although the two
often clash over their opinion of the family. He's also heavily
pressured by his cousin Maeby, on whom he has a gigantic crush,
although he often worries that this is illegal. Note that because of
the company's finacial problems, one of the only vehicles available to
them is the stair car that went with the family plane. George Michael
is being apped from the end of season two.
Sample Post
Um, hello? Is this Camp...Financial Youngsters Dakota? Is there a
rule that every camp name has to have Dakota in it? I mean it's not
like anyone really thinks these places are really Indian. I mean
Native American. I mean. I'll just start over.
I'm George Michael Bluth. I need to find the counselor in charge of
my cabin; I've got a note from my dad about my allergies. Should I
talk about my interest in finance? Because I run my own company.
Well, my family's company. A small part of my family's company. I
sell bananas. I think we're gonna do really well here because I
already sold like a hundred bananas to those guys in the gorilla
suits. Are they mascots or do they sell outfits or...
Oh wow, they're really gorillas? Is there a special day where we dye
them or something? I thought people usually just did shirts. Wait,
does that mean those magicians that look like zombies are
actually...okay. I just thought they were magicians because my uncle
the magician does illusions like that sometimes where he tries to take
off his hands but usually he just bleeds a lot. Why are there zombies
here? Are they for the Dakota part, because I don't think they have
much to do with finance...
That's not what the name means? But I thought...Oh. I don't think my
dad wouldn't send me there. I mean, he doesn't even let me say that
word. Not die, I mean he lets me say die. And it's not like I do
everything my dad says. I could say...that word. If I wanted to.
Anyway. I'm not really supposed to be here. So I should get home
and...wait, we can't leave either? But I can drive. Well, sort of.
I have a permit. I brought the stair car. And I got here fine, I
mean, it's only like an hour from my hou...
Lousiana. Really.
...you can marry your cousin here, right?
Poll Vote! Character: Fakir
Series:
Princess Tutu (Character list in the wiki is
here)
Character Age: No official age, although
this site (credibility unknown) says he's 17.
Canon: Once upon a time, a man died. The prince and the monster raven from his unfinished story escaped into the real world, and the prince shattered his own heart to seal the raven away. Now, as the Princess Tutu returns the prince's heart shards, the story has begun to move again. Fakir begins the series as the "villain," cruel and controlling, but it’s later revealed that he’s [SPOILER]the knight of the original story, and is simply trying to protect his prince the only way he knows.[/SPOILER]
Even as Fakir changes throughout the series, mostly due to Ahiru's influence, he's still antisocial and rarely shows his gentler side even to the people he cares about. He's impatient and short-tempered with strangers, and won't hesitate to put people down with a cutting word or two. Despite his tendency to insult his friends, he's fiercely protective of them. They may be morons, but they're his morons. Fakir is also, oddly enough, kind to small animals, since they won't judge his actions.
Fakir is being taken from the end of the second series, where he really begins to shine once it’s revealed that [SPOILER]he has the ability to make his own stories come to life.[/SPOILER]
Sample Post:
I was brought here to write the mystery of "Mr. Purple in the Mess Hall with the candlestick." However, Frau Director is sorely mistaken if she thinks I'll be writing any stories for someone who kidnapped me, especially one with such an inane title. I'd like to see what she'll do now because I've declined her extremely...gracious request. I'll admit that her choice in messengers is creative, but talking to a brick wall is still pointless, even if it can talk back. I couldn't get any useful information out of it, and the insults it threw after I refused to write were absolutely pathetic. Despite that parrot's thoughts to the contrary, my hair does not resemble a bird's nest.
And are these puppets supposed to scare me? Tch, they're nothing but an eyesore--I think I just stepped on another lost eye--that would fall apart before they even reached me, let alone tried to fight me. And if she really is all-powerful, surely she should be able to stop the trees from calling me a murderer and trying to steal my paper. If she can't do a little thing like that, why should I believe her threat of having the gorillas "make a man out of me"?
...or perhaps that was merely a ploy she set up to make me underestimate her. She's probably laughing and watching me blunder about from behind the scenes. Well, that's fine. I'll just write my own way out of here then.
"Once upon a time, a man woke up in a vast forest. He didn't want to stay there, so he began to look for other people that might be able to help him. He quickly came across a group of people, and while they weren't the cleanest or most intelligent in appearance, they were better than nothing. He approached them and asked if they had any information that might be of use. It looked as though they were unable to speak, but one of them attempted to communicate through an intricate dance that mostly consisted of spasming in place and hitting himself on the head with someone else's arm. It wasn't the most graceful or elegant of dances, but it clearly conveyed his message:
`Help! Help! I'm being repressed-`"
...chewing on my pen is not an acceptable form of feedback. If you don't like the story, don't read it.
Poll Vote! Character: Hitachiin Kaoru
Series:
Ouran High School Host ClubCharacter Age: 16
Canon: First and foremost, Kaoru is the identical twin of Hitachiin Hikaru. The two of them are incredibly attached and codependent to the point that they often speak and move in unison and are very seldom apart. They even go as far as putting on a show of forbidden sibling love for their Host Club clients. Kaoru is the gentler of these two and, when he feels like it, he can show a startlingly mature side. He's much more aware of the thoughts and feelings of others than his brother is. If things are being pushed too far it's Kaoru who's first to draw back a bit, and he'll make an effort at keeping Hikaru in check at times as well. However, most of the time, Kaoru is quite similar to Hikaru in behavior. He's snarky, disinterested in people outside the Host Club, easily bored -- and when bored is prone to causing trouble, and focused on the happiness of his twin and himself. He's also a skilled actor and will often employ the talent to gain the results he wants; most often with Host Club clients, playing pranks, or avoiding punishments.
Sample Post:
Who do I speak to about the security in this place? I assume that's what the fellows done up in gorilla costumes are meant to be. I know good help can be difficult to come by, but there is clearly something wrong with your screening process. A good member of security should never come barging into a guest's room before sunrise! It's embarrassing to say, but . . . I would have liked to feel Hikaru's hands on me at least a little longer. But that brute interrupted our hour of passion and chased us all the way to the cafeteria before relenting!
Of course, I understand he may bear a grudge against the campers. Why, only a few hours later he was found with his suit shaved head to toe with a number of crude words scrawled all over! Amazing suits, by the way. Tell me, where is the zipper hidden? But that is no reason to take his aggression out on innocent new arrivals. It reflects very poorly on your camp having ruffians like that on staff.
What sort of camp is this, by the way? Reject horror type? If it were any good you'd have something better than all these zombies. Anything that just shuffles around and moans about brains simply isn't scary after the first five minutes, and that's being generous. But they do make for excellent entertainment! This fruit that looks like a brain -- who thought of making the zombies explode when they ate it? It's an amazing special effect. We'll have to get in contact with the director to learn the secret of it later. The pieces even continue to move on their own, haha!
And for the last time, I don't know anything about the arm that ended up down that peasant boy's shirt! I don't know why he'd think to blame me. It's not my fault he happened to pass by me when the arm got into his shirt -- merely coincidence! I was only collecting the body parts before they found their way into the rooms of any of the lovely girls here. I couldn't bear the thought of one of them being taken by surprise by a roving hand! It was likely just a part of the program that made it seek out a human. He and the rest of you peasants should watch out for any stray fingers or toes.
Poll Vote! Character: Hitachiin Hikaru
Series: Ouran High School Host Club
Character Age: 16
Canon: The Hitachiin twins are the sources of mischief in their series. Originally they considered all other people "toys" but are slowly growing up and realizing there's a world beyound the two of them. That doesn't keep them from doing whatever they want for entertainment and ignoring whatever they consider boring. It's not uncommon for the two of them to use highly engineered plots to get their way in even the smallest of matters. They work together and are rarely apart as they are highly codependent. When putting on their twincest show for the Host Club customers, Hikaru plays the dominant seme to Kaoru's weepy submissive uke. They can really pour on the charm...when they want to.
Hikaru is the older twin but has none of the maturity that some may assume comes with that. He's 10% more evil than Kaoru and can't calm down his personality. He is always wilder, meaner, and less able to regulate his reactions to people. If he likes a person, his tendency is to act like a jealous kid when not getting the attention he craves.
Sample Post:
So this is what commoners do with their children during the summer months! Death camps. It must be hard to be that poor.
Your impending deaths aside, I call dibs on the quaint little manor house over there. For some reason, you all pretend it's a hospital. I see there is already a personal staff waiting for us. Not up to our usual standard but I can hardly come to expect the commoners to do that much. I'm surprised you even had a house ready for us. No, no, it's for us. It's not a hospital. If it was a hospital it'd have more equipment, better doctors, and less people lounging around the rooms for no reason at all. It's hard to keep things sterile that way. So naturally what else could it be but a house for us if it fails so VERY badly at being a hospital? Naturally. Glad we all agreed on that.
I'd like to put in a much needed request for a change in staff. Already. Knew something would mess up. Our dearly beloved butler--we call him Brian since his name in his native tounge is hard to pronounce. Accughtrrbmn or some such--has fallen to pieces. Which is common among our staff even back home. Nothing to be ashamed of! However, this one literally fell to pieces. He's missing his arms and we had very little to do with it despite our very best efforts. Someone file a request for vast amounts of duct tape for purely innocent purposes to be delivered to the Hitachiin Manor. Make it snappy, he keeps dropping the tea tray and it's starting to annoy us. The horror theme is cute and inspired! The best special effects I've seen to date managed on such a limited budget. We'll have to get in on the secret later. It really is an amazing accomplishment! But that should not cause the service to suffer.
The horror theme extends everywhere, it seems. I wonder what happens if one were to fall into the murky depths of yonder glowing green lake? No! Someone stop my dearest brother, dare not let him venture to the water's edge! If the rumors were to be true, then... I can't let anyone but myself caress his body in such a way. Only I am allowed to make his body tremble so! Of course, I understand his curiosity. We've always been curious and willing to explore.
Confirmation of the rumors would be nice though. PEASANT GENT. Thank you for volunteering! Don't be so shy, you little rogue. Impromptu swim!
... OH. Yes. Kaoru, lets not go near the lake. Peasants really ought to be more careful near the water.
