Character: Janine Kishi
Series: The Babysitters Club
Character Age: 16
Canon: The Babysitters Club is a group of eternally thirteen-year-old (and eleven-year-old) girls who have wacky misadventures in babysitting for the families in their small town of Stoneybrook, Connecticut. Janine is the elder sister of Claudia, the BSC's vice-president, and is a super-genius with an IQ of 196. Her hobbies include spending hours on her computer, exhaustively correcting the grammar of those around her, and taking college classes even though she's a high school junior.
Janine can be a royal pain. Sometimes it seems as though she just has to make everything into a thesis -- when Claudia reminds her of how, as children, they used to hide from thunderstorms, Janine goes into a lecture on psychology and the fear process. Even so, she is kind and loyal deep down, spending hours on end to tutor her constantly-flunking little sister without becoming frustrated.

What is it with this machine? I've never seen technology this advanced, and yet whoever programmed it needs a serious lesson in user-friendliness. The clock is stuck reading "January 26, 2007", and when I attempt to fix it, a message pops up reading, "You're not in Stoneybrook anymore, Toto!" Well, of course I'm not, but crossing time zones can only change the date by a single day at most. Not by twenty years. This is so frustrating. I'd like to have a word with whoever's in charge around here.
Aside from that, this certainly doesn't look like the computer camp I signed up for. The brochures clearly stated that camper residences would be indoors at Louisiana Tech University -- a far cry from these rundown cabins at a lake overflowing with phosphorescence. In addition, my fellow campers don't seem to be the types to attend a computer camp, and many of the counselors seem to be downright incompetent in technical matters. Can this possibly be the right place?
The pay telephones aren't working, either. When I try dialing my home phone number or my sister's private line, I get a message stating, "The number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate your phone by 90° and try dialing again." Just to humor it, I would, except for the fact that it's a standing pay phone.
This is ridiculous. I do not expect this sort of thing from a well-known public university. I want a refund.

Character: Nandaba Naota
Series: FLCL or Furi Kuri anime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLCL)
and manga (http://www.flclw.com/manga/)
Character Age: 12, see above or below link
Canon: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_of_FLCL#Nandaba_Naota)
Naota usually exhibits an apathetic and bored demeanor, but more often
than not it's merely an attempt to appear mature. In FLCL, Naota goes from
the duldrums of everyday suburban life to having Haruko crash through and
leave an utter mess of things, getting the boy caught up in all of it. He
continually says that “Nothing amazing happens here,” despite overwhelming
evidence to the contrary. Naota is able to merge with the robot called
Canti when he’s in danger, and (going with the ending of the anime) he
carries around Haruko’s guitar with him. It’s a blue left-handed
Rickenbacker bass guitar model 4001, with a pull-cord motor on the back, and
can be used as a bizarre weapon of sorts. The guitar is able to shoot
bullets, act as a rocket launcher, even fly, but Naota does not know how to
use it fully.
Sample Post:
I should have known better.
Things were finally back to normal at home, you know. Nothing was coming
out of my head anymore, Haruko had finally left, and everyone had even
gotten used to having Canti around. I just got bored. Maybe I missed the
weird stuff happening. Maybe I even missed
her… Right. That maniac’s gone and I won’t ever have to
worry about her again.
I heard she came through here once, though… Maybe it’s just something about
that weirdo that she turns everything she touches into a total mess, but
then again everyone else here seems every bit as weird as she was.
I brought Canti and that old junk heap guitar with me, but I didn’t expect
to actually USE it! Swinging it’s a pain in the neck (literally). That
thing’s head came off pretty easy, though. I guess it was the momentum.
Still, this guitar’s just a worthless pile of junk other than that. I
haven’t even figured out how to play the thing, much less use it the
way Haruko did. How the hell did she FLY on this thing? I
haven’t even found the machine gun yet!
Maybe I’m just cursed to never lead a normal life even though I guess it was my fault for letting my boredom
get the better of me…
Ninamori, if you can read this, you were right. If you promise not to tell
Masashi and Gaku, though, I swear I’ll pay you more than I owe them! I’ll
get Dad to give you the money, just… Don’t tell those jerks anything, would

Character: X-23/Laura X
Series: Marvel Universe, more specifically: X-23: Innocence Lost, Target X, New X-Men
Character Age: 14
Canon: X-23 is the Mary Suelverine. She's Wolverine's clone, only prettier and with breasts. She was raised to be the perfect weapon, with adamantium claws and a super nifty healing factor. She's the infiltrate/sneak up on and brutally murder kinda gal. X-23 is different in the comics (in both temperament and upbringing) than she is in X-Men: Evolution.
You can tell she's Wolverine's clone because of her lack of social skills and her ability to track a small, irrelevant piece of evidence through snow, and ice and childhood trauma. X-23 is stunted socially and she tends to relay facts instead of emoting. Things such as faith and humor are a bit hard for her to intellectualize. Her speech tends to be clipped and direct without revealing too much about her own internal processes. In general she isn't very talkative, but is quite capable of supporting a tangent about skinning people alive or international torture procedures.

Upon entering this 'camp' I have been assigned a livejournal to record my daily life. I assume details are expected.

This is an exercise in normalcy. Today I arrived at Camp Fuck You Die to resolve numerous missing persons cases, only to encounter complications. The main obstacle being the impregnable barrier. People cannot enter or exit of their own free will. I received a flyer on the dangers of this barrier, and was told it comes in three flavors. It is also "ribbed for her pleasure", but whose pleasure is unclear.
The wildlife is not typical of the Southern United States. Notable are the white creatures which continue to ask "Save your game?" Further communication has been cut short by the request to "clone saved data?" I believe this to be a 'pun'. It was not appreciated and has been dealt with directly.
Other complications have been rendered negligible with the exception of the occupants. International Regulations for Infiltration and Observation state that open war is a direct possibility of interference from any armed country on another. If possible it is advised to pick a mostly neutral third party country to act as the scapegoat while engaging in covert activity to destabilize the enemy.
I have come to the conclusion that Mounties are present. The tracks are uniquely heart shaped and exude the faint scent of lavender an unmistakable sign of the Royal Canadian Mounted police. A dead body was also dragged along the ground, leaving behind peculiar shambling tracks, as if dragged upright, or from horseback. Nationalities and regions of origin for many of the other occupants are vague or unknown. The parameters for tactic "Blame Canada" have been set; find the Canadians and assign blame for the missing people.
For further investigation of the Mounties going undercover is advisable. First is to erase my presence on livejournal, the most efficient method of doing so being internet suicide. There are over a hundred ways to kill yourself on the internet, many of which involve chronic illnesses which take months to fabricate and create the necessary 'sock journals' to support and inflame the planned death. There are a limited number of ways to credibly 'die' in a short period of time; a diversionary tactic may be employed to distract the general populace of the internet into ignoring the more obvious omission of truth. Logic dictates unknown but serious and sudden sexually transmitted disease as the most likely cause of internet suicide, possibly in conjunction with a furry convention. Mission accepted.

Canon: Shiki is pretty much an ordinary second-year high school student. Ordinary with chronic anemia and super killer death eyes which almost puts them there speshul Uchihas to shame. Despite the sheer amount of angst, death, and general what-the-fuckery in his life, he retains an almost impossible appreciation for it. Of course, he'd much rather have a quiet, peaceful life but, hey, them's the breaks. Socially, he is mostly kind and cheerful, occasionally rather playful, to just about everyone, hopelessly honest and basically just your average Quiet Unsociable Person Nice Guy™. Outwardly, at least. All the inexplicably girls love him, especially the weird/supernatural/batshit crazy ones, along with the occasional maid and loli-cat or two. So long as he's not spazzing out at how effed up everything is or going into some crazy homocidal killer mode where he, gasp, is trying to kill you with uber deadly assassin skills buried deep in his brain somewhere.

Series: Suikoden
Character Age: Actually 300, appears 15-17
Canon: In Suikoden, magic revolves around runes and the 27 'True Runes' are the sentient parasitic gods that give immortality and power to those they live off. Enter Ted, bearer of the True Rune of Life and Death for 300 years and who is accompanied with its dose of heavy angst due to the rune's habit of killing off and chewing on the souls of people Ted holds dear, earning it the nickname 'Souleater'. As the catalyst of Suikoden's plot, Ted gives Tir McDohl the Souleater for humanity's safety when he is discovered by the Scarlet Moon Empire.
Though originally a lone wanderer, through the help of the gay friendship he developed with the hero Tir McDohl, Ted changes and acts like the impulsive, fun-loving teenager his body seems to be. Yet despite this change, Ted is still hesitant about being near to people and his lack of social skills doesn't make it easy for Ted not to be blunt, somewhat rude, and as subtle as a brick. The constant reminder of his rune doesn't help either. But underneath all his slight emo tendencies, Ted is a 'good boy' and genuinely cares for others.

Up until today I thought I'd seen it all. Ominous woods? Yawn. Squirrels making houses from zombie limbs? I've seen stranger things.
Obviously I'd never been propositioned by a disembodied voice before.
So while I'm sure I've never been there and certainly never done that...no. That'd be a definite no and I really wish you'd stop breathing on me, Miss Disembodied Voice, ma'am...even if you technically don't have a body to breathe with. Instead, you're going to show me the nearest available exit, pronto, because my experiences with your kind tend to go along the lines of: 'Death Doom Destruction I'm hungry Death Doom Feeeeed me Destruction.'.
And gods, don't start crying. Or sounding like you're crying. Whatever! You understand, right? And not that I care or anything, but I'm sure any other guy would love to... it's just that it's a really bad idea for me to-- look over there is that guy giving out freebies?! It's clear that it's meant to be!
Oops. My mistake, turns out it was just a gorilla. Maybe I should get my eyes checked as I've heard age does make them considerably weaker. But let's not get off topic; as much as I would love-- that is, be content to sit and chat, you were giving me directions, remember? See, some punk thought it'd be cute to teleport me to the middle of nowhere,so now I'm desperate enough to ask the voices for directions. Yes, you are included as one of the 'voices'. And god knows when you need to consult the voices, the joke's gone too far.
Speaking of jokes, I like a good laugh as much as the next guy but whoever is sick enough to make a prank like this, ha ha funny. Now stop it. Because even though I try to make a point of not listening to the voices, this time they're right: Everything I touch DIES. Trees? Die. Flowers? Die. Kittens? Haven't seen any and I really don't want to know, but I'd bet they'd die. If I haven't clued you on yet, have a hint: I don't exactly appreciate it.
Which makes me wonder, who makes a joke about things dying anyway?! And if I disregard my sense of self-preservation, would touching myself make me die? I'm not exactly sure how that'd work, but I guess it's worth a shot. After all, if it doean't work I live for another day and if it does... Well. I've lived a long life anyhow. And it's not like god kills kittens when I touch myself, just when I touch them.
...Um. W-was that... a kitten? No. No it couldn't have been, but maybe I really should get my eyes checked.

Character: Link
Series: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Character Age: Though it's still unknown what his real age is but it's safe to say he's probably 17
Canon: Ocarina of Time is about a boy named Link and his journey to save Hyrule from the Evil King Ganondorf by using the Master Sword to travel back and forth through time while trying to find Princess Zelda as well. Aiding him in his journey is his fairy/partner Navi, the mysterious Shiekah Shiek, and the friends he made along the way.
Link has a tendency of being nice to everyone and anyone, paying attention more to their needs then to his own. Due to this habit, he's the kind of guy who makes friends because he tries to see the good in them, even if they don't get off to the best start. Like any normal teenage boy, Link gets shy, embarrassed and blushing easily when it comes to women. Even though he also has a goofy and laid back part of him, he is serious when necessary, especially if it involves saving Hyrule. He's the one that protects the weak, whether it be loved ones or complete strangers, from the enemy no matter the circumstances. Although having the fate of Hyrule on his shoulders gets to him sometimes, he's never down for long due to the friends around him always cheering and encouraging him on. He even uses his new favorite past time hobby, fishing, to help him relax.
Notes: Link will be pulled out as he's being sent back to his original time, his voice is based on Manga OoT and not the game and a cucco is basically a chicken.

Hey there. By any chance did you see an army of cuccos pass by? It's not hard to miss them. Here's a description
WANTED: Foul Fowls
Small, White, Feathered Fiends
Armed and Dangerous
Approach with Caution
DO NOT CONSUME OFFERED BEVERAGES
...No, I'm not joking. I was knocked out, tied up and then robbed of my stuff. They almost took my clothing too. They left this firing device behind though. I blame this place since they were perfectly normal before coming here. Who teaches a bunch of birds how to fight anyways?!
Speaking of firing devices, you-Hey! Why did you take off your arm?! What? I'm not going to use your arm as a weapon. I don't know how and I'm not sure how effective it'd be really, unless slapping is some kind of high level attack around here.
So here, you can have it back. Thanks but I won't be needing it. If you could just show me how to use this device here and point me in the direction of where the cuccos went, if you saw them that is, I think I'll be fine.
So they went that way, huh? Thanks! And for this thing, all I have to do is push the trigger and that's it? Sounds easy enough to handle. I think I'll use one of the trees behind you for one target practice before I go off and find those cuccos. So I push the trigger and...Cool!! It just burned that tree completely! It took my up some of my magic to do that though. That sucks but this thing is awesome!
Um, did you hear something fall? And why does it smell like something is being...fried...are those the...they were...the cuccos were in that tree this whole time?!
Why are you offering me a red bucket and what does 'KFC' thats written on this bucket mean?

Oops. My mistake, turns out it was just a gorilla. Maybe I should get my eyes checked as I've heard age does make them considerably weaker. But let's not get off topic; as much as I would love-- that is, be content to sit and chat, you were giving me directions, remember? See, some punk thought it'd be cute to teleport me to the middle of nowhere,so now I'm desperate enough to ask the voices for directions. Yes, you are included as one of the 'voices'. And god knows when you need to consult the voices, the joke's gone too far.
Speaking of jokes, I like a good laugh as much as the next guy but whoever is sick enough to make a prank like this, ha ha funny. Now stop it. Because even though I try to make a point of not listening to the voices, this time they're right: Everything I touch DIES. Trees? Die. Flowers? Die. Kittens? Haven't seen any and I really don't want to know, but I'd bet they'd die. If I haven't clued you on yet, have a hint: I don't exactly appreciate it.
Which makes me wonder, who makes a joke about things dying anyway?! And if I disregard my sense of self-preservation, would touching myself make me die? I'm not exactly sure how that'd work, but I guess it's worth a shot. After all, if it doean't work I live for another day and if it does... Well. I've lived a long life anyhow. And it's not like god kills kittens when I touch myself, just when I touch them.
...Um. W-was that... a kitten? No. No it couldn't have been, but maybe I really should get my eyes checked.
That or I must be going senile.

Character: Link
Series: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Character Age: Though it's still unknown what his real age is but it's safe to say he's probably 17
Canon: Ocarina of Time is about a boy named Link and his journey to save Hyrule from the Evil King Ganondorf by using the Master Sword to travel back and forth through time while trying to find Princess Zelda as well. Aiding him in his journey is his fairy/partner Navi, the mysterious Shiekah Shiek, and the friends he made along the way.
Link has a tendency of being nice to everyone and anyone, paying attention more to their needs then to his own. Due to this habit, he's the kind of guy who makes friends because he tries to see the good in them, even if they don't get off to the best start. Like any normal teenage boy, Link gets shy, embarrassed and blushing easily when it comes to women. Even though he also has a goofy and laid back part of him, he is serious when necessary, especially if it involves saving Hyrule. He's the one that protects the weak, whether it be loved ones or complete strangers, from the enemy no matter the circumstances. Although having the fate of Hyrule on his shoulders gets to him sometimes, he's never down for long due to the friends around him always cheering and encouraging him on. He even uses his new favorite past time hobby, fishing, to help him relax.
Notes: Link will be pulled out as he's being sent back to his original time, his voice is based on Manga OoT and not the game and a cucco is basically a chicken.
Sample Post
Hey there. By any chance did you see an army of cuccos pass by? It's not hard to miss them. Here's a description
WANTED: Foul Fowls
Small, White, Feathered Fiends
Armed and Dangerous
Approach with Caution
DO NOT CONSUME OFFERED BEVERAGES
...No, I'm not joking. I was knocked out, tied up and then robbed of my stuff. They almost took my clothing too. They left this firing device behind though. I blame this place since they were perfectly normal before coming here. Who teaches a bunch of birds how to fight anyways?!
Speaking of firing devices, you-Hey! Why did you take off your arm?! What? I'm not going to use your arm as a weapon. I don't know how and I'm not sure how effective it'd be really, unless slapping is some kind of high level attack around here.
So here, you can have it back. Thanks but I won't be needing it. If you could just show me how to use this device here and point me in the direction of where the cuccos went, if you saw them that is, I think I'll be fine.
So they went that way, huh? Thanks! And for this thing, all I have to do is push the trigger and that's it? Sounds easy enough to handle. I think I'll use one of the trees behind you for one target practice before I go off and find those cuccos. So I push the trigger and...Cool!! It just burned that tree completely! It took my up some of my magic to do that though. That sucks but this thing is awesome!
Um, did you hear something fall? And why does it smell like something is being...fried...are those the...they were...the cuccos were in that tree this whole time?!
Why are you offering me a red bucket and what does 'KFC' thats written on this bucket mean?
