Character: Kanmuri Shigeru.
Series: Yakitate!! Japan
Character age: 17.
Canon: The French have their pain and the Germans have their brot, but Japan has no bread to call its own! So our hero, Azuma Kazuma, sets out to create a bread that is uniquely Japanese, ja-pan (a play on the Japanese word for bread, “pan”), overcoming all trials and shounen bake-offs that stand in his way!
Thus Azuma meets boy genius Kanmuri Shigeru, a culinary prodigy and mob boss’s son who graduated from Harvard at sixteen with a wealth of scientific food knowledge and a fondness for “cute little yeasts.” Smiling, self-assured Kanmuri competed against (and lost to) Azuma in the finals of the Pantasia Newcomer’s Tournament, at which point Kanmuri turned around, cheerfully signed on with Azuma’s bakery, and worked alongside Azuma to defeat a corporate merger of evil through reckless gambling, awful puns, and, of course, bread.
Kanmuri is introduced with absolute faith in his own genius and advanced baking technology. Though this is mellowed in his time with Azuma and against Team Pantasia’s most difficult opponents, Kanmuri still revs ups the shounen confidence when jumping into competition and using or explaining the awesome SCIENCE!!! he thinks up for his bread.

Good morning, everyone! I’m Kanmuri Shigeru, and I’ll be working in your kitchens from now on!
… oh my, I’d heard about your sugar ban, but that’s no reason to greet new workers with such a sour face, Gorilla-san. It’s true that it’s a little difficult to bake without refined sugars, but it will be easy to work around it in my next batch of bread - and not just any bread! I promise to bring you the very best sugarless bread possible, developed with all the special ingredients of this camp!
The first ingredient in this recipe can be found only on the zombies of Camp Fuck You Die - the miraculous fungi, A.C.R.O.N.Y.M.! As you know, most breads use a common fungi, the budding yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae. But the rare species Anaerobic Concentrated Respiratory Organic New Yeast Material, strong enough to make zombies rise from the dead, will fuel even a sugarless rising of bread! With only a little time for autolysis, this super-fermentation gives the dough a wonderfully strong flavor and a boost to the gluten network that more than compensates for the lack of processed sugar… creating the sweet, firm, and shapely buns that the gorillas of Camp Fuck You Die love!
But A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. is only the yeast of this bread’s many secrets! Rather than leaving the taste all to the extraordinary autolysis, I’ve infused the flavor through a special method of hydration, one with miraculous qualities previously unknown to the world of molecular gastronomy - water from this local lake. Even after it’s drawn from the murky depths, it continues to churn with the breathtaking force of a miniature geyser, spreading its subtle, fruity taste throughout the dough. When I’m back in a lab, I’ll be able to analyze its origins… but for now, Marcy-san says it’s “just gas.” Marcy-san is a really obliging person, isn’t she? I’ve never met anyone so excited to help put a bun in the oven.
With the extra-strength autolysis and bubbling, there’s no need to knead; the bread just has to be baked outside with the ducklings and their final flare of local taste! Right now, the number of loaves I can make is limited by the number of zombies who’ve given up their A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. for a nibble of my brainpan… but soon everyone, no matter where they are, will be able to experience Camp Fuck You Die in every bite of this new bread - the taste of pain d’camp!

Character: Okita Souji
Series: Shinsengumi Imon Peacemaker/Peacemaker Kurogane
Age: Around 20/21 (never stated in canon, but has a possible historical birth year of 1844)
Canon: Peacemaker is about the adventures of Ichimura Tetsunosuke, a brash fifteen-year-old who wants to join the Shinsengumi in order to become stronger, so that he can avenge the deaths of his parents. Very briefly, the Shinsengumi were a police force in Kyoto on the side of the shogunate, working to keep the peace on the streets and against those who sought to expel foreign influences from Japan. During his time with the Shinsengumi, Tetsunosuke does manage to grow as a person, become stronger, and earn a few battle scars, with the help of his fellow members. One member who had a lot of influence with and fondness for Tetsunosuke was Okita Souji, the captain of the first division.
Okita doesn't usually look or act like much of a fighter. He's very girlish in appearance and is nearly always polite and cheerful. At times, Okita's behavior seems very childish, especially when he makes people buy him candy or plays games with the local children. What hides behind that cheerful mask, however, is one of the best swordsmen in the Shinsengumi. Okita becomes demon-like when he fights. He is ruthlessly practical and unable to control himself in battle, once he sees someone as an enemy. Additionally, the specter of tuberculosis looms over Okita, who does his best to ignore his condition and hide it from his comrades. Okita is being apped from immediately after the Ikedaya Inn Affair.
Note: Saizou is the grumpy little piglet that Okita treats as a pet.

All right ♥! While I didn't manage to find Saizou, I wonder where he could be. . .I'm still very glad that I ran into all of you. You five looked so sick and sad standing there that I knew you needed to play a game to cheer you up! We all finally understand the rules now, don't we? And Grrragh-kun, what did we say about cheating? We can't all put our eyes in the back of our heads, so it isn't very fair when you do it. We have to be fair to everyone, otherwise the game isn't any fun.
Now, Gurgle-chan is playing It first~ Why don't you give us a head start before you come after us? Everyone, please remember this time that we only need to lightly touch someone to tag them! Blarrrg-kun's head is still at a funny angle from that tackle. Let's start running before It catches up to us! Everyone's doing great this time, I'm so happy~ Right, you tag in the next person just like--
Grrragh-kun, do we really need to talk about cheating again? Just because your arm came off when Gurgle-chan touched it doesn't mean you haven't been tagged. Tagging your arm still counts as tagging you, no matter where it might be at the time ♥. Ah, Gurgle-chan, that isn't very nice! I'm sure Grrragh-kun will play with you again, just as soon as you stop hitting him on the head with his arm.
Maybe it would help everyone out if we went over the rules again? Remember, these were the ones we all agreed to follow together. I have candy for everyone who doesn't break more than one or two~! Let's see, they were: No licking each other, no inappropriate biting, no pedobear allowed I'm not sure what that means, no lawyers, no violations of the Geneva Convention are permitted during play. . .anyone who violates the above rules will be expected to commit seppuku immediately? You know, there are an awful lot of rules here and I don't remember writing most of them down, either! Why don't we start again, with a simpler game this time. Oh? All of you have an idea? Ahahaha, "Braiiiins" is a funny name for a game! So, you play it by getting really close to whoever is It, pulling them down to your height, and. . .? Hey, what did we say about inappropriate biting, everyone? . . .I don't think I like this game very much. This is your last warning to let me go ♥.
. . .a blow that severs your head from your neck is more than a mere flesh wound, Grrragh-kun. If you're having trouble with that, we can try again ♥~

Character Name: Princess Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Character Age: 18
Canon: The heroes of Tales of the Abyss aren't your average ragtag world-saving troupe. This group is bowed to, saluted, and allowed access to royal courts and military meetings with the mere drop of their names. They include a colonel, a princess, the freakin' Pope and more, and they're not sitting on their asses for this adventure. Who could when the planet's people, their people, are in danger? Natalia's sentiments exactly. Both a master of Lanvaldear-style archery and healing Artes, Natalia is also every inch a princess and doesn't blink at getting her hands dirty for the good of her people. She will literally choke a bitch (that bitch is Jade) if her kingdom of Kimlasca is wronged.
Natalia bosses her way into the party dressed for adventure, her mind filled with the romance of nobles sneaking out and kicking ass. While her childhood friend and fiancé Luke needs some serious spoilers to get over himself, it takes Natalia half an hour to tone it down. Without her airs she's still proper, graceful, and quite kind, if also fussy. She's a romantic, and makes her friends pinky-swear to seal plans for the future. She's also very gullible, as she can be tricked into believing the villain's eyebrows are capable of firing lasers. (In her defense, it's totally possible.) But above all else, her heart is filled with sincere devotion to her friends and her country, and she's beloved by her people for her lifetime of personally helping them as much as she can. She travels the world of Auldrant working to make it a better place to live in. How's that for a princess?
Sample Post:
Sirs, forgive me for showing you such aggression, for I know now that I've made a mistake! I would never mean to undermine the unique condition of the citizens of Louisiana, now that I know it is indeed a condition. I promise I'll compensate you for any insult to the local customs, as well as any unwanted holes I might have punctured into your r-remarkable selves. I'm amazed at the tenacity you all have - to insist you'll find use for extra holes is almost as admirable as your ability to remain standing!
I am ashamed to admit it, but I had thought you were monsters. Again, I'm sorry for my reaction when I arrived; I've never even heard of an ailment that allowed one to remove and reattach his own limbs and remain unaffected. And to think that because of it, you've developed a tradition of removing your heads to bow in the presence of royalty - I've never been greeted by such a company before. A-and you say one local man can even rearrange his facial features however he likes? My...! To have a potato for a head! I can only imagine such a large potato.
But divergences aside! I am Princess Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear, and - that's Kimlaaahsca, not Tllldrrr - you may call me Natalia. I have seen your land, your trees - well, I'm certainly not eager to see those trees again, considering how they haven't an inkling of how to treat a lady they're certainly not gentlemen trees, honestly, I never! - and I must say, there is no need for you to live so adapted to this despair! You ask me if I would like to save, and I say yes, I would like to save you all!
Good people of Louisiana, you don't need to seek out anyone else's brains to bring prosperity to yourselves! Though your strength may dwindle under the effects of your condition and you may moan in lamentation, as long as there is hope, all is not lost. I offer the supplies I have arrived with, and I am an experienced healer. Together, we can work to promote the wellbeing of all, and change this dreary camp to the fair land it must be beneath the grime! Though I know I am a foreigner, and the blunt statements that your princess is in another castle may be true... is it not the purpose, nay, the sole duty of royalty, to extend their hands to anyone in need of them? People of Louisiana, you have my bow!
--Yes, already, with but one person's show of willingess to give effort, this gentleman has offered his axe as well! My, I had not even seen him down there.

Character: Noyamano Ringo
Series: Air Gear
Character Age: 15
Canon: Air Gear n. a manga/anime series chronicling the rise and sometimes falls of Minami "Ikki" Itsuki, a former street punk who discovered the joy of flying when his adoptive family gave him a set of Air Treck (also known as A-T). Eventually, Ikki forms his own team of A-T riders and they battle their way up through the various team "classes" from F to B. The author of this canon section would also like to suggest that Air Gear can also be used as a v., using and abusing psuedo-sciences in the pursuit of badass battles and lots of pantyshots. While occasionally a contributor to said fanservice, Ringo is also notable as the "sister" and childhood friend who first introduced Ikki to A-T. Although her extremely obvious feelings for Ikki seem to make her withdraw into herself at times, Ringo is energetic, intelligent, and devoted, having supported his team faithfully through many of their growing pains.
Though frequently reticent about her talents, Ringo is an extremely skilled rider in her own right. However, she is sometimes prone to explosive fits of anger and jealousy (especially where Ikki is concerned) and has been known to make reckless decisions, like pretending to be a mysterious masked defender of justice so she can substitute for one of Ikki's teammates in a deciding battle against another team. Another reason for Ringo's occasional reserve is her deep involvement with Sleeping Forest, a team which is committed to bringing down the most powerful and ambitious A-T riders. Their reasons for doing so? Are complex enough to fill a second canon section. Suffice it to say that Ringo has always intended to dedicate her life and body to their ideals, no matter what sacrifices she is asked to make.

Fighting body rot by moonlight? Winning braaaaains by daylight? Nooo! There must be some mistake! No matter what you've heard, I am not the one they call School Swimsuit Mask. You've got it all wrong, she's the champion of hopeless teams! That Dawning of the Undead stuff doesn't even sound like something she'd say. And besides that, does this look like a school swimsuit to you --don't check under the skirt don't check!
F-Fine. As you've all now seen whyyyy, I'm just a regular person with perfectly normal panties. And little flowers are so normal. They came in a set, and what does this have to do with anything? ...Why am I here then? Well, that's a little embarrassing... Please don't tell, but the truth is I heard that Ikki's team trains around here now. I definitely don't want him to know that I or anybody else is still watching him, even if my reasons are personal. But maybe you don't even know the guy I'm talking about, so it won't matter.
You do? Because you're the Robbed Zombies, a new U-level team that formed yesterday, a group of untrained men and women inspired to take up A-T and fight for better body parts because of Ikki's amazing moves?
Um, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but there's no such thing as U-level. Even if your team formed as recently as that, you're still automatically at F-level. Look, here, you've got the order wrong. There are C and F level teams, but U doesn't come next. And how could D be the highest rank of all? It just doesn't work that way.
A special new class just for Ikki's special new admirers? No, I don't think that's possible...
Ikki. Even though I have to be your enemy now, I always understood that there would be other people who would want to stay your friends. I even knew some of them would be other girls. Girls who are probably very attractive under those DISGUSTING ROTTING UNIFORMS WHY do I feel so conflicted about this?!
I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me, but I didn't mean to rip your equipment off like that. Of course, your reasons for being on this team are fine. Here, take it back. I should have quit before I got your head. I'll make it up to you! I can even send Swimsuit Mask to help if I see her, okay? Okay. Then here goes nothing... Mold power makeup!

Character: Ayasegawa Yumichika
Series: Bleach
Age: Unknown, but able to pass as a teenager.
Canon: Bleach is the epic tale of giant swords and the dead people who love them. Or hate them. Or beat them against rocks while violently cursing and insulting them . . . you know how it goes. Ayasegawa Yumichika falls into all of the above categories. A Shinigami, Yumichika is the Fifth Seat of the Eleventh Division in Soul Society-a fancy way of saying that he's one of the highest-ranking and strongest fighters in an army of dead people whose job it is to keep balance and order in the spiritual world by destroying Hollows (evil spirits) and sending the dead to either Soul Society or Hell. Kind of like Santa, only with more swords and less coal. Yumichika takes his job seriously and is one of the best: he is the fourth-strongest in his Division, capable of fighting on even footing with Lieutenants from the other divisions, and is only a Fifth Seat by virtue of the fact that he thinks the number "four" is ugly, and the Third Seat is already occupied by his partner, Madarame Ikkaku.
Despite his obvious talent and affinity for flipping out and killing things, Yumichika is nonetheless not what one might expect from a shounen swordtard. A vain, narcissistic, and flamboyant prettyboy, Yumichika is incredibly stuck-up and self-absorbed, consistently harping on his own beauty and berating those he thinks are ugly. The prettiest princess of all Shinigami, with a specially-tailored uniform and feathers on his eyebrow, Yumichika doesn't exactly fit in with the typical "hit things until they die" group of rag-tag brutes that make up the rest of the 11th Division. However, he is incredibly dedicated to Ikkaku and the Division-he is so afraid of losing their respect that he hides the "released" form of his sword when it turns out to be a soul-sucking spell type instead of relying on brute strength. Secretly, Yumichika is actually caring, perceptive, and intelligent, unquestionably loyal, and far more deep than he lets on. It's just a bit hard to notice under all the vicious snarking, preening, cruelty, and the fact that he thinks you're pretty when he kills you.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
I don't care if this is an assignment, I don't care if this important, and I don't care if I've been specifically chosen for this job! I refuse to work under these conditions, and demand to be relocated at once! Such a beautiful person as myself does not belong in a filthy, squalid pit with half-decaying humans-and don't even get me started on the zombies. You'd think they'd never heard of soap, let alone a "daily health and beauty regimen." Though I'd just as soon take a sword to most of you-a new layer of skin would do you a world of good, you know. And this place could use more color~
However! I'm afraid I don't have time for pleasant hobbies and redecorating. I don't know who is responsible for this barrier, but somebody had better tell me. I am on official business from Soul Society and won't be put off. And the sooner I get rid of it, the sooner I can leave. I won't believe any of your lies about the barrier being impassable. Clearly you've never seen an experienced Shinigami at work, you worthless peons-and I am one of the best.
But of course, I haven't introduced myself! Though I don't intend to be here looking at your ugly faces long enough for it to matter, I should at least give you a name to put to the gorgeous visage forever present in your fondest memories~ I am Ayasegawa Yumichika, Fifth Seat of the Eleventh Division under Captain Zaraki Kenpachi. You may call me Ayasegawa-sama~ and no, I don't care about your names. Don't flatter yourself too much. Hmph!
Now, I've been incredibly understanding, gentle, and kind with everyone so far, but I'm beginning to lose patience with this situation. Are you all as incompetent as you are ugly? I want to know who is responsible for this idiotic barrier, these dermatological disasters you call zombies, and most of all, the lack of appropriate sanitation facilities. One must, of course, make do when times are hard, but to concentrate this many humans in one place and not give them proper showers? I. I may faint. Un. Ac. Cept. A. Ble! Now, start spilling the information before I start spilling your blood!
No, really. I can stab first and ask questions later~ ♥

Though I know I am a foreigner, and the blunt statements that your princess is in another castle may be true... is it not the purpose, nay, the sole duty of royalty, to extend their hands to anyone in need of them? People of Louisiana, you have my bow!

Character: Noyamano Ringo
Series: Air Gear
Character Age: 15
Canon: Air Gear n. a manga/anime series chronicling the rise and sometimes falls of Minami "Ikki" Itsuki, a former street punk who discovered the joy of flying when his adoptive family gave him a set of Air Treck (also known as A-T). Eventually, Ikki forms his own team of A-T riders and they battle their way up through the various team "classes" from F to B. The author of this canon section would also like to suggest that Air Gear can also be used as a v., using and abusing psuedo-sciences in the pursuit of badass battles and lots of pantyshots. While occasionally a contributor to said fanservice, Ringo is also notable as the "sister" and childhood friend who first introduced Ikki to A-T. Although her extremely obvious feelings for Ikki seem to make her withdraw into herself at times, Ringo is energetic, intelligent, and devoted, having supported his team faithfully through many of their growing pains.
Though frequently reticent about her talents, Ringo is an extremely skilled rider in her own right. However, she is sometimes prone to explosive fits of anger and jealousy (especially where Ikki is concerned) and has been known to make reckless decisions, like pretending to be a mysterious masked defender of justice so she can substitute for one of Ikki's teammates in a deciding battle against another team. Another reason for Ringo's occasional reserve is her deep involvement with Sleeping Forest, a team which is committed to bringing down the most powerful and ambitious A-T riders. Their reasons for doing so? Are complex enough to fill a second canon section. Suffice it to say that Ringo has always intended to dedicate her life and body to their ideals, no matter what sacrifices she is asked to make.

Fighting body rot by moonlight? Winning braaaaains by daylight? Nooo! There must be some mistake! No matter what you've heard, I am not the one they call School Swimsuit Mask. You've got it all wrong, she's the champion of hopeless teams! That Dawning of the Undead stuff doesn't even sound like something she'd say. And besides that, does this look like a school swimsuit to you --don't check under the skirt don't check!
F-Fine. As you've all now seen whyyyy, I'm just a regular person with perfectly normal panties. And little flowers are so normal. They came in a set, and what does this have to do with anything? ...Why am I here then? Well, that's a little embarrassing... Please don't tell, but the truth is I heard that Ikki's team trains around here now. I definitely don't want him to know that I or anybody else is still watching him, even if my reasons are personal. But maybe you don't even know the guy I'm talking about, so it won't matter.
You do? Because you're the Robbed Zombies, a new U-level team that formed yesterday, a group of untrained men and women inspired to take up A-T and fight for better body parts because of Ikki's amazing moves?
Um, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but there's no such thing as U-level. Even if your team formed as recently as that, you're still automatically at F-level. Look, here, you've got the order wrong. There are C and F level teams, but U doesn't come next. And how could D be the highest rank of all? It just doesn't work that way.
A special new class just for Ikki's special new admirers? No, I don't think that's possible...
Ikki. Even though I have to be your enemy now, I always understood that there would be other people who would want to stay your friends. I even knew some of them would be other girls. Girls who are probably very attractive under those DISGUSTING ROTTING UNIFORMS WHY do I feel so conflicted about this?!
I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me, but I didn't mean to rip your equipment off like that. Of course, your reasons for being on this team are fine. Here, take it back. I should have quit before I got your head. I'll make it up to you! I can even send Swimsuit Mask to help if I see her, okay? Okay. Then here goes nothing... Mold power makeup!

Character: Ayasegawa Yumichika
Series: Bleach
Age: Unknown, but able to pass as a teenager.
Canon: Bleach is the epic tale of giant swords and the dead people who love them. Or hate them. Or beat them against rocks while violently cursing and insulting them . . . you know how it goes. Ayasegawa Yumichika falls into all of the above categories. A Shinigami, Yumichika is the Fifth Seat of the Eleventh Division in Soul Society-a fancy way of saying that he's one of the highest-ranking and strongest fighters in an army of dead people whose job it is to keep balance and order in the spiritual world by destroying Hollows (evil spirits) and sending the dead to either Soul Society or Hell. Kind of like Santa, only with more swords and less coal. Yumichika takes his job seriously and is one of the best: he is the fourth-strongest in his Division, capable of fighting on even footing with Lieutenants from the other divisions, and is only a Fifth Seat by virtue of the fact that he thinks the number "four" is ugly, and the Third Seat is already occupied by his partner, Madarame Ikkaku.
Despite his obvious talent and affinity for flipping out and killing things, Yumichika is nonetheless not what one might expect from a shounen swordtard. A vain, narcissistic, and flamboyant prettyboy, Yumichika is incredibly stuck-up and self-absorbed, consistently harping on his own beauty and berating those he thinks are ugly. The prettiest princess of all Shinigami, with a specially-tailored uniform and feathers on his eyebrow, Yumichika doesn't exactly fit in with the typical "hit things until they die" group of rag-tag brutes that make up the rest of the 11th Division. However, he is incredibly dedicated to Ikkaku and the Division-he is so afraid of losing their respect that he hides the "released" form of his sword when it turns out to be a soul-sucking spell type instead of relying on brute strength. Secretly, Yumichika is actually caring, perceptive, and intelligent, unquestionably loyal, and far more deep than he lets on. It's just a bit hard to notice under all the vicious snarking, preening, cruelty, and the fact that he thinks you're pretty when he kills you.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
I don't care if this is an assignment, I don't care if this important, and I don't care if I've been specifically chosen for this job! I refuse to work under these conditions, and demand to be relocated at once! Such a beautiful person as myself does not belong in a filthy, squalid pit with half-decaying humans-and don't even get me started on the zombies. You'd think they'd never heard of soap, let alone a "daily health and beauty regimen." Though I'd just as soon take a sword to most of you-a new layer of skin would do you a world of good, you know. And this place could use more color~
However! I'm afraid I don't have time for pleasant hobbies and redecorating. I don't know who is responsible for this barrier, but somebody had better tell me. I am on official business from Soul Society and won't be put off. And the sooner I get rid of it, the sooner I can leave. I won't believe any of your lies about the barrier being impassable. Clearly you've never seen an experienced Shinigami at work, you worthless peons-and I am one of the best.
But of course, I haven't introduced myself! Though I don't intend to be here looking at your ugly faces long enough for it to matter, I should at least give you a name to put to the gorgeous visage forever present in your fondest memories~ I am Ayasegawa Yumichika, Fifth Seat of the Eleventh Division under Captain Zaraki Kenpachi. You may call me Ayasegawa-sama~ and no, I don't care about your names. Don't flatter yourself too much. Hmph!
Now, I've been incredibly understanding, gentle, and kind with everyone so far, but I'm beginning to lose patience with this situation. Are you all as incompetent as you are ugly? I want to know who is responsible for this idiotic barrier, these dermatological disasters you call zombies, and most of all, the lack of appropriate sanitation facilities. One must, of course, make do when times are hard, but to concentrate this many humans in one place and not give them proper showers? I. I may faint. Un. Ac. Cept. A. Ble! Now, start spilling the information before I start spilling your blood!
No, really. I can stab first and ask questions later~ ♥
