Character: Kise Ryota
Series: Kuroko's Basketball
Character age: 16

Canon: One school, one team, one champion. Winning was everything for the team of Teiko. This team was made up of five exceptional players who were called the Generation of Miracles. They each excelled at basketball in different ways and were known to be the best at what they did. The proof of this was in their straight wins across the board. However, unknown to most, there was a sixth player, a phantom player that was glossed over yet was also part of the team and considered to be a Miracle as well. After the last game they played together, these six players went to separate high schools to become the best in their own way. And that’s where the story starts.

Kise Ryota found all sports boring until he met Aomine. It's in Aomine that he finally finds a challenge and it's through him that he gets into playing basketball. Known as an an imitator, Kise can copy any move he sees down to the last minute movement while also making it better than the original. He's also very carefree, nice and friendly to everyone he meets, no matter who they are. He can also be jokingly dramatic over silly things and is generally one of those types of guys who can go with the flow. That is, until you challenge him. That’s when his immature side gets drawn out because if there's one thing Kise gets serious about, it’s winning. And if there’s one thing he hates? It’s losing. On the side, he also works as a model and can usually be seen with a hoard of fans following after him for his autograph. He also has a childish tendency of adding -cchi at the end of people’s names if he gains a respect for them.



Sample Post:

Let's see, this is CFUD, right? My manager told me this was the place to be for the photoshoot, Corner For Underwear-- wait, what's that say? Camp For Undefeated Dumbasses? Hey, now, that's not nice at all. Fooling me like that, I might cry into my pillow tonight over this. I don't disagree with being undefeated, but the dumbass part just hurts. I thought this was going to be my big debut into the underwear modeling world. Looks like it isn't now, but--

Oi, oi, I know I'm famous, but there's no need to fall all over yourselves to get to me. Haha, even if it's a place like this, I see my popularity hasn't decreased. And I've had girls fall apart on me before . . . you know, crying over being able to meet me for the first time, but I've never had them do it literally. Are you sure you're alright there? I guess putting your head back on counts as a nod, or at least I'll count it as one. Losing your head over me sure is a compliment though.

But enough about me, let's talk about this camp of yours. Is that really the sign for this place or is someone just kidding around with me? Nodding like that, I guess it really is a joke then. Alright, I'm okay with a joke here and there. That puts me in a better mood, now just hand me that basketball of yours and I'll sign it. Of course, I'll write a special message on it just for you--

Oh, you want me to give you some pointers instead? Wow, you've really done your research on me then. Most girls just know me from modeling, but you've gone the extra mile. I can't just say no to that kind of dedication. Alright, here you go, when you're dribbling remember that you don't dribble with the palm of your hand. You do it with the tips of your fingers. Yeah, that's right! But maybe we should go back a step and make sure you don't lose that hand while you're dribbling.

Don't mind, don't mind, I'll be here for another several hours so I can keep on giving you the tips and tricks of the trade. But try not to get too good, otherwise I’ll have to get serious against you. I’m not so mature that I’ll let a newbie get one over on me~

Character: Tetsuya Kuroko
Series: Kuroko’s Basketball
Character Age: 16

Canon: “Generation of Miracles” was a title given to five exceptional players of a middle school basketball team who won and reigned in every competition for three straight years. However, it was rumoured that there was a sixth player who was part of the Generation of Miracles—a phantom sixth man—who didn't excel in the sport, but was acknowledged by the other five. These six went their separate ways upon entering high school, this time as rivals in the battlefield they call the courts.

The unnoticeable and easily ignored Kuroko is the Generation of Miracles’ Sixth Phantom Player. He lacks a lot of presence, and has a cheerless disposition, but he’s not necessarily a gloomy person. He’s kind, polite, and helpful; the type of guy who puts others before himself. While he is usually calm and rational, he occasionally shows his silly side and jokes around. But whether it’s actually a joke or not is debatable due to his deadpan way of speaking. He’s short, a bit weak, and has no talent in basketball, but it’s his love for the sport that makes him a good player. His lack of presence is a trait that matches his specialty in passing and misdirection, and it is this trait that helped the Generation of Miracles, and helps his current team, Seirin reach the top.

(Note: Due to the fact that Kuroko’s presence is easily ignored, it is a running gag in the series that he “appears out of nowhere” despite having been there all along.)



Sample Post:

Ah, I'm sorry. I didn’t mean to come from behind. I’ve actually been here all along, and then you accidentally sat on me. It’s okay, I won’t hold it against you. I’m afraid you’ll have to sit on the floor, since there aren’t any free chairs anymore, though. And I don’t think these chairs can handle the weight of a gorilla. It’s not that you’re fat, but you’re actually a gorilla... so I can’t give you my seat. Sorry.

What’s your name, by the way? You can call me Kuroko. I heard the Director wants to make “Marcy’s Marauders”, a basketball team, so I’m going to try out. I’m not very talented, but I think as a coach, she’ll be able to bring out my true potential. And aside from that, I’ll also be attending the usual activities here in Camp for Useless Dunkers, so I’ll even get more ball-handling experience. I think the team will get a lot more support from the squirrel cheerleaders if all of us practice really hard.

I know positions haven’t been discussed yet, but I think you’re going to be a good center, Mr. Gorilla. Huh? There’s no top or bottom. The other positions are the forwards and the guards-- I’m sure it will be explained properly after the tryouts. Um, anyway, I think you’re going to have an easy time scoring because of your height and jumping power, but you have to be careful. You seem really strong, so even if you slightly shove your opponent out of the way, they might fake getting hurt. You might be taken out of the game because of that. Don’t get caught up in their monkey business, Mr. Gorilla.

I hope we don’t end up in a team full of zombies, though. If our opponents suddenly bump into them, they might suddenly lose their limbs and won’t be able to play anymore. But I heard some of the zombies talking earlier, and they wanted to try out for the brainball team instead of basketball. So, I guess it’s okay if we don’t worry about that too much. That’s dead weight off our shoulders. Don’t you agree?

Oh, I think your name just got called. I’ll hold your banana for you while you start warming up. You don’t have to worry about me. I think the coach might skip my name by accident, but I’ll just approach her when everyone else has had their turn. Let’s do our best, Mr. Gorilla. I hope we both get in.

Character: Rose Lalonde
Series: Homestuck
Character Age: ~15
Canon: Four kids play a video game. Only it turns out that this particular video game is connected to the unavoidable destruction of life on Earth, and with it, the potential to create a new universe. The game is a system designed to test their characters and develop their strengths in preparation for this new beginning -- but in the case of these four, it goes emphatically off the rails in a hurry. So they, and we, are left trying to sort out a convoluted plot that spans multiple universes and a huge cast of characters who all die repeatedly, but somewhere in the clusterfuck, there's the glimmer of a goal with stakes even higher than a universe or two.

Rose Lalonde is probably a good pick for clusterfuck-sorting, but then she's also a good candidate for helping send things off the rails. She's poised, analytical and clever, though she IS still a teenager -- a lot of that intellect is fueling her penchants for purple prose, armchair psychology, rebellion and snark. When happy, she's friendly and talkative with a mischievous streak; when less so she prefers to veil her displeasure under passive aggression and sarcasm. Either way you're liable to get trolled a bit. Still, Rose is perfectly capable of loosening up, and under the aloof surface she's a pretty decent person and a loyal friend.

Unlike with most Homestucks, Rose's dialogue is actually typed normally! You can all breathe a sigh of relief until the font and color hit you.


Sample Post:

As much as I appreciate being pulled from relatively important matters in favor of playing pretend with the shambling undead, And I will acknowledge that "relatively" is a telling word, I'm sorry, but there's no nice way to say this. You're doing it wrong. Don't take it the wrong way. I can see you've put a lot of effort into getting this together.
I certainly couldn't ask for a better ramshackle cardboard booth. This is exactly the kind of structure to make a girl's heart swell with entrepreneurial spirit and her mouth spew insight almost uncontrollably, at least until the boxes you've clumsily taped together come down around her head.
We in the business would call that a light discourse.
All in all, nothing says "reputable psychotherapy" quite like a childish stand on the sidewalk, straight from the Lucy van Pelt tradition. You've more than equipped me for a consultation. And the fact that you actually paid the five cents is downright charming. But you have to understand. You've given me this enviable setup. You've set aside hours of uninterrupted time for me to pick your brains, if you'll excuse the phrase.
And then you waltz up to my booth and ask me, right off the bat, to analyze a dream you had about your mother? I can barely handle it. You're lucky I'm only an amateur! Any accredited psychiatrist would have needed a change of pants the moment you started talking. You're supposed to work up to these things. Take me on a few sessions of awkward semi-silence that turn into smalltalk. Act reluctant and shy, dissolve into stammering when the subjects of your real feelings are touched on. Leave me wondering. What's a profile full of neuroses without a little mystery?
Oh, I didn't say I wouldn't do it. It's way too late to back out now; we're entrenched in this. If you thought that handing me your psyche on a silver platter would overwhelm my better judgement, I'm afraid you were absolutely right. I am going to psychoanalyze the shit out of you, and you're going to lie back and be enlightened about how many things in your dream were actually phallic symbols.
I, for one, am betting it's a lot.
The doctor is in.

Character: Gon Freecss
Series: Hunter x Hunter
Character Age: 13

Canon: Fortune, fame, and glory draw many different types of people to take part in the annual Hunter Exam. Gon, the young protagonist, enters the Exam in search of his father, only having the clue that his father had also become a Hunter in his youth. During this exam, he makes three friends who play very important roles in shaping his life. Sporadic hints to finding his father are provided as he goes, but various events cause many detours. Along the way, he meets many allies and foes, instructors, and villains. The life of a Hunter is anything but safe, but Gon is determined to walk this path.

Headstrong and simple are two of the most defining things about Gon. Some might call him boneheaded when his temper and impulsive nature flair up because, when coupled with his stubborn nature, it has caused him to wind up in some very risky situations where even his life has been at stake. Confidence is one thing that Gon certainly does not lack; perhaps to a fault. It’s a faith in his strength, which is far superior than most of his peers at his age. Actually, you could probably call him crazy-strong. Even when facing a stronger opponent, Gon will stubbornly push on. Despite all this, he is also quite friendly and has a tendency not to judge a person on their prior actions, being receptive to all sorts of people. Not only does he have a strong affinity toward people, he is very good with animals of all sorts. In a way, he, himself, is much like an animal - with a heightened sense of smell and taste.


Sample Post:

So, you called this place Camp, Mr. Toucan? I was trying to find my dad, but I ended up here instead. This wasn’t where I was heading to and it certainly wasn’t where I fell asleep, but it seems quite interesting! Maybe there’s something about him around here that he left behind. There are a whole lot of people here. Maybe someone knows something. There also seem to be things always going on or somewhere. I don’t think I’ll get bored, at least.

I mean, earlier today, I was shown around for a while by a gorilla. At first he seemed kind of reluctant to take me around, but after a few rounds of arm wrestling, he seemed a lot more willing. Yanno, it’s a lot easier seeing things from up on his shoulders then down on the ground. Too bad we weren’t able to stray too far from the forest and we got some very strange looks, even after I assured them it would be fine. Someone even commented that they didn’t want poop flung at them before fleeing. Funny, they didn’t try that when I came around. Maybe they just approached them wrong. Who knows?

After that, I was down by the lake trying to catch myself dinner, but I was almost the one caught as a meal! Seems my line reeled in some kind of person that was craving brains. Or that’s what I’m guessing, based on what he kept saying. Luckily, one hard swing from my pole sent its head flying! I think he’ll be looking for that for the next few hours. Needless to say, I figured there wouldn’t be any good fish hanging around in there when some partially decomposed body was enjoying itself.

Speaking of, I’m still on the lookout for food. I came up here to see if there was any fruit on the trees when I ran into you and a pair of boxers that could be used for a parachute. Guess I’ll just have to go find another tree or fishing pond to rustle up something good. Then I can go search around the camp some more!
