ATTN: CFUDERS.

As the people up to vote may have noticed, we're slowing down the voting rounds in the hopes that more people will vote on each of them. (We got used to a higher speed when voting was faster - time to revert!) We have MANY, MANY PLAYERS, and everyone has their own personal policy when it comes to voting - this is perfectly fine! However, we shouldn't be struggling to get fifty votes on every application. Remember these people will become, or ARE, your fellows - the proverbial president's daughter's been kidnapped and it's UP TO YOU! So pretty pretty please vote if you can. ♥

Remember!
- Applicants, respond anonymously.
- If you're going to do the whole "ask me if I voted you out!" thing, please state who you voted out.
- No speculating about the identity of the applicants!

Now VOTE. Closed!



Character: Kaiba Seto
Series: Yu-gi-oh
Character Age: 18

Canon: Once upon a time in Mexico Egypt, there was an Oh-Shit-We’re-All-Gonna-Die-type battle. Rocks fell and people died, but eventually the assorted nasties were defeated/sealed away.

Fast forward about three thousand years. The artifacts that were the partial cause of the whole mess have shown up again, as have the reincarnations of various key players in the battle. One such person is Kaiba Seto, a genius child billionaire and all-around pain in the ass.

Kaiba is an anal-retentive, perpetually sleep-deprived workaholic who somehow manages to be both rational to the point of idiocy and prone to feats of such batshit grandiosity that you’re not sure whether to applaud, die laughing, or dive for a tranq gun and a straitjacket. Stubborn, ambitious, and insanely competitive, he remains a thorn in the side of Our Heroes even after he stops trying to kill them. (Don’t ask.) Despite his… ah, less-than-lovable characteristics, however, he cares deeply for his brother Mokuba, and doesn’t hesitate to take responsibility for wrongs he’s committed. “Stubborn jackass who kinda-sorta means well when he’s not personally insulting you or putting you in danger” isn’t exactly a ringing encomium, but hey, it’s a start.

Kaiba-samaaaaaaa ~~~~

Thank you for flying with Stuffed Into A Burlap Sack And Then Shipped To A Foreign Country On A Barely Flyworthy Cargo Plane Airlines. Enjoy your stay at the lovely Camp Fuck You Die, and watch out for the tentacle rape~~~~!

Hugs and kisses,
The Staff

Oh, look. I’ve been taken hostage by another flamboyant madman with a propensity for pseudo-affability. Someone on my security team is going to have an excellent explanation for this when I get back.

At least it wasn’t too difficult to escape. Though clearly, I need to be on my guard; no one would be stupid enough to leave a prisoner in a bag that hadn’t even been tied properly unless there’s some aspect of my imprisonment that I’m not aware of yet. Well, whatever’s going on, I first need to determine where I am and where the nearest human habitation is. Next, locate this “staff” and find out why I’m being held here. And finally - what was that?

…Apparently, the supporting cast of a low-budget horror film. Employees of my host, I assume? Interesting uniforms. Though why they also smell like corp -

Why are their limbs falling off.

Clearly, the place where I’m being held is a leper colony which specializes in a form of the disease which causes the sufferer’s flesh to decay despite their still being alive, and their limbs to spontaneously amputate.

A leper colony, yes. Where the inmates are attended by orderlies wearing purple gorilla suits.





This is either a joke, or the most inane psychotic break I’ve ever had.

Character Name: Antubis
Series: Kingdom Hospital
Character Age: Ageless; human form appears to be in mid-teens.

Canon: (mild spoilers) Welcome to Kingdom Hospital, a state-of-the-art medical facility built upon the site of an old mill fire, inhabited by a bizarre cast of staff, and with the spirits of dead children roaming its halls. Only a few are aware of the decaying world beneath the Kingdom, and the forces that move to either change it, or destroy it completely.

Antubis appears early in the series as companion to the ghost of Mary Jensen, one of the orphans involved in the fire. He usually takes the appearance of an anteater, albeit an oversized one with a mouthful of wickedly sharp teeth. Enigmatic, quietly sinister, and with a liking for bad puns and cliché slang, Antubis can be, depending on the deal you make with him, friendly or incredibly dangerous. His help (referred to as 'doing a solid,') comes at a steep price, but he also has his quirks-after all, the only reason he's an anteater is because Mary misunderstood his real name: Anubis, gatekeeper between life and death.

Sample Post:

Now this, ladies and gentlemen, is called baaaaad business.

Y'see, when two undead…or three, or four, and I'm still not sure if a bunch of 'em are a murder or an orgy...love each other very much? There's problems there. I mean, when your Bobby Mcgruesome gets together with your Sally Nofingers it doesn't mean a whole lot, but you gotta consider that little Baby Bonesnskin took some problems to make, and what made him came from the other side.

I'm not talking about that barrier, either. Might want to consider it, though. When they say 'ribbed for your pleasure,' they probably don't mean for you to reach for his chest. Just a hint, y'know?

Take it from the squirrels. They've got the little condom hats and everything, even if you're not up for one of their Ceiling Conventions. I know I wasn't.

Because I'm not concerned so much with the cross-species. What I'm concerned about is your, hm, being all literal-like about alternative lifestyles. Without safe undead sex, gates swing dangerously both ways between the living and the dead, my decomposing friend…

…no, you don't need to show me yours.

This is how it works, see: I do you a solid, you do me a solid. And you've got entirely the wrong kind of solid to deal with, chum; put it back in your pants. Or your box. Whatever floats your boat, as long as it don't float near mine.

And for the record, the sweet-talk does nothing. 'Iyaaaaaa~aaaant, sobold?' Honestly.

Character: Tony Tony Chopper
Series: One Piece
Character Age: 15

Canon: Pirates, adventures, sheer crack, chasing your dreams, critical moments of failed logic, occasional property damage, the importance of nakama, and much, much more make up the unbelievable world of "One Piece". Monkey D. Luffy is a boy whose dream is to become the Pirate King. With the rest of his dream following friends in his crew, he's determined to do it. And speaking of crew, their doctor? A reindeer. --who became partly human after the consumption of the Hito Hito Fruit! Chopper is one of the more child-like members of the crew, and he rolls with his nakama through the good times, the bad times, and the retarded antics.

Along with his wish to see the world, he has a dream of being able to cure all sickness, so you can bet he's serious when it comes to someone's health. He's already very skilled in his profession, but if you tell him that he'll curse right back (although it's plain for anyone to see that he enjoys the compliments-- he's the type who can't hide his feelings after all.) Outside of medicines however, Chopper is naïve and gullible when it comes to the world. Whether it's new sights or new dangers, his reaction can vary between spazz, fascination, or fear, but in the end he does what he can to overcome whatever comes their way. For himself and above all, his nakama. Because while he may be a reindeer, he's also a man. And a pirate too, let's not forget that either.

(Note: He can still converse with animals, often translating their lines for the crew and audience.)

Sample Post:

Guuuyyys! Where are yoooou!? If you hear me, please answer! . . .I wonder where they are though. I can't even pick up their scents in all of this marsh. Could there really be a village to stop at here though? Even so, this swamp is really big. . . And dark. And i-it kind of feels like something could crawl out of the shadows while I'm not looking--!!! C-come to think of it, what do I do if I run into evil swamp spirits that wander the area to hunt down travelers and d-d-drag them under the surface of the marsh with their huge claws just because they're hungry and WANT TO EAT THEM FOR LUNCH--

AHHHH IT'S A SWAMP SPIRIT GET IN THE SHIP WAIT IT'S JUST ME HERE-- SOMEONE SAVE ME. . .!!!

--ehh, what, it's just a toucan! Just a big toucan flying by. . . getting close to the ground really quickly. . . too quickly!!! H-hey! A-are you okay!? That looked like a rough fal-- GAH!!! Doctor! We need a doctor here! --THAT'S ME!

Can you hear me!? Oh good, you're still awake! Don't worry Mr. Toucan, I'm going to fix you up right now. Here-- the antiseptic might sting a little. Lift your left wing for a moment; I need to wrap this tightly or the gauze pad will slip on your feathers. But you really have to be careful when flying! Things really would have been bad if you fell into one of the marsh pits. . . Oh, that's right! When you were flying up there, did you see a group of people pass by here recently? "You definitely saw someone walking in that direction"? I'll try search there, thanks! It's really a big help-- and there you go! All wrapped up.

How does that feel? --What? "You're feeling just fine, I'm a very kind young reindeer, and how would I like to come with you to your home for something sweet as thanks"?

. . . SHUT UP YOU BASTARD! You saying that doesn't make me happy at all~ Heh heh~ Really though, I need to find my nakama soon and make sure they're all right. But once I find them I'll check up on you again before we set off! After all, I have to make sure the wrappings haven't been upset by movement. And if you're living in a swamp like this then I'm really worried about the risk of infection and rapid contraction of--

Huh? "Infection? In this place?" Of course it's more likely than you think!

Character Name: Chris
Character Series: Demon Diary
Character Age: 13-15-ish

Canon: Chris is a young apprentice to the Supreme Cleric of
the god Rased. Although he is lucky enough to be blessed by the god
himself, he is also unlucky for several reasons, ranging from his
inability to shut his mouth to his persistent delusions of grandeur.

When Chris was a child, he survived a demon attack that destroyed his
village. Later, after the disciples of Rased had rescued him, the god
appeared to the Supreme Cleric and told the man that he was going to
take away Chris's memory of the attack, and that Chris was going to
lead Rased's followers someday. Chris awoke after this with a strong
aversion to demons. One can only assume that the delusions of grandeur
began to occur after he learned that he had to be the next
Supreme Cleric.

Five years later, Chris decides to summon and defeat a demon lord, and
ends up summoning a young, incompetent demon lord named Raenef. After
they blast a few attacks back and forth, Raenef's servant Eclipse
shows up, and Chris's master decides to send Chris off with the
demons. At Raenef's castle Chris has all sorts of awesome adventures
with Raenef and their friend, the sword-girl Erutis. He ends up
becoming a nicer person, but doesn't change much other than that, so
he's still an arrogant little jerk when he returns home. After seeing
this, his master still won't let him be Supreme Cleric. …and
then hits him with a stick a few times.

Sample Post:

Hmph. Stupid Master, thinks I have to go all the way out here and
"commune" before I can become Supreme Cleric. Who does he think he's
dealing with? I am Chris, the supergenius, soon to be Supreme
Cleric!.

…Oooooooh, that gives me tingles just saying it.

It's not fair. Raenef gets to go and be demon lord, and Erutis
gets a mercenary band, and they're not even graced with my
supergeniusy powers of deduction! All I ever get is getting whacked
over the head with a staff and getting shipped off to live with
a demon lord and his horrible servant and finally getting back
home only to have Master tell me that he's decided that I'm not ready
to be supreme cleric yet. He even took back my cool new Supreme
Cleric hat…

Rased, I promise you that when I become Supreme Cleric of your order,
there will be huge changes. No longer will poor, innocent, suffering
boys whose only downfall is to be smarter than everyone around them be
beaten over the head with sticks! No longer will demon lords' castles
and strange camps with offensive names be considered places suitable
to send the next Supreme Cleric off to for 'training'! No
longer will the Supreme Cleric's title just be 'Supreme Cleric'! It
shall be 'Supremely Smart and Cool Cleric'!

Anyway, I find it hard to understand how getting eaten by zombies
could be part of your larger plan for your Supreme Cleric-in-training.
So if there was any chance that you could get me out of here, or give
me more energy, or make this tree grow a bit taller it'd be
vastly appreciated.

…Actually, sooner, rather than later would be really appreciated. I
mean, I can see how it might be in your supreme plan to call me up to
heaven to sit at your right hand or something, but don't you think I
can have a lot more fun meet more girls do so much more
good down here than I can up there? I'm not questioning your plan, but
you helped me survive this far already - you can't have done that just
to let me die now, right? Right?

Character: Michelangelo
Series: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Character Age: An age that ends in "-teen"

Canon: Once upon a time there was ooze. Ooze that was dropped, conveniently, into the sewers of New York City, where a rat and four baby turtles happened to be loitering. Cue the ooze playing mad scientist with their DNA, leaving the five with the ability to walk, talk, and buy nunchaku. It was a pretty awesome ooze.

Of the four turtles Michelangelo is the most optimistic. Usually smiling and often joking, he is a pro at diffusing those nasty bouts of tension his brothers are so apt to create. An often unintentional pro, but one nonetheless. Blessed with a special brand of doofus, he's managed to channel the personality of a stereotypical California surfer despite living his entire life on the opposite coast. Being the most immature of the four, he's also more whiny and more than willing to state, in his best annoying-little-brother voice, when he's not happy. When he's not chowing down on a meat-lover's or skateboarding through the complexities of the sewer and subway system, he's playing video games or watching cartoons. That said, he is still a ninja and can very much kick some serious butt. And will. Just as soon as the pizza is delivered.

Sample Post:

I'm never gonna get all this mud outta my shell, dude. It's everywhere and it's slimy and then it's itchy. Though it does smell better than most of the sewers back home, so it could be worse. Course, back home there's at least some concrete and I could board some. Swamp isn't so good for that. Which is how I got all muddy in the first pla--

Oh hey little green bunny dudes! Awesome color choice, I gotta say. I know that frog said it ain't easy being green, but I gotta say it looks a lot cooler. Though I don't think bunnies usually come in green. Did you get that from that glow-in-the-dark lake thing? Doesn't look like the best place to take a bath to me, and I'm already green and mutated. Take it from me: if it glows, stay away, bros. It's a good rule of thumb, even if you don't have thumbs! Okay, little bunny du- OW!

Since when do bunnies bite? That's just not cool. Guuuuuuuuuuuuuys? Can we go yet? I mean, I know we were supposed to come down here and do....something...but it's been forever and I'm going through serious pepperoni withdrawal here. This whole living off the wild thing would work a lot better if there was, like, a pizza plant or something. I mean, if nature can invent an underwear tree, is a pizza-bearing bush too much to ask? It would be so awesome! Camping would be a lot more fun, too.

Whoa, did that tree just--it did! Fighting trees? In ultra attack mode?! Oh man, this place is so awesome! But where is that song coming from? Those birds? Man, if they're going to be doing the mood music for this fight they could at least sing something cool like...NO WAY! You guys even know the the dance?! ALL RIGHT! Time to party, trees! Like the songs says, "Go ninja go ninja go! GO! GO! GO! GO!" Or, the word that says it all: COWA~BUNGA!
