Character: Anders Johnson
Series: The Almighty Johnsons
Character Age: early 30s
Job: Publicity for CFUD
Canon: When Axl Johnson turned 21, he became privy to a carefully kept secret: that his family members are all gods. Apparently, the gods left Asgard a long, long time ago and went to New Zealand, for reasons unknown. And when a god and a goddess love each other very much (or not love each other at all but want to bone), their offspring is a god or goddess. These offspring are kept in the dark about their godly ancestry until their 21st birthday, at which their god powers manifest.
Anders is the second eldest of the four Johnson brothers, and is the living incarnation of Bragi, the God of Poetry. The power of his voice bends mortals to his will. Though perfectly capable of sweet-talk and beautiful words, he's more often blunt and crude, earning the ire of his friends and family from his lack of brain-to-mouth filter. He enjoys the finer parts of life, namely booze, drugs, and beautiful women, with has no qualms about using his powers to get them. For all that he's a horrid dickhead, though, Anders does love his family. He just has trouble showing it. A lot of trouble. He definitely protective, and subscribes to the line of thinking where he's the only one allowed to fuck with his brothers.
Sample Entry:
Tell us about yourself in a few words.
Anders Johnson, second of four, owner of JPR, so on and so forth. Seriously, I never know how to answer these kind of questions. Why do people always ask it? Does anyone ever actually learn anything from this sort of thing? You'd learn a lot more about me in the sack. We could call it...finding common interests, if you know what I mean.
Why are you joining our happy community?
Company expansion! Sort of. I mean, I could probably do most of the work this place needs via emails and Skype conversations, but an all-expenses paid trip? Who would say no?
What do you expect from the campers here?
Mostly to stay out of my way, really. I just need to observe, get some nice photos of happy kids toasting marshmallows or braiding friendship bracelets and then I can get back to work.
What do you expect from the counselors?
About what I expect from the kids, obviously. They can hold hands and make flower crowns if they want. The lovely ladies, though, can find me in my cabin after the kids go to bed. Interviews, you know, one-on-one. Or two-on-one, if you've got a friend. I'm flexible.
Do you think you are good in a crisis? Why?
Sure, why not? I deal with them all the time; it comes with the job. Let's just say I have a way with words. I'm good at calming people down, making the best of a crappy situation.
What if the crisis involved the end of the world? Please explain.
Uh, I wouldn't get involved in something like that so that's a moot point.
Would you be able to dispose of the flesh of the undead? How?
According to video-games, fire seems to be the cure-all to all manner of zombie grossness. Why, is this going to be a thing I should be worried about? Cause, you know, I'm not so sure I'm into the whole live-action roleplay stuff. The occasional bit in bed is one thing; handcuffs can be hot, you know? Rawr~. But zombie apocalypses just aren't my kink, sorry. Too much moaning and biting of the unsexy kind.
If you could choose to bring three objects to a deserted island, what would you bring and why?
Why would I bring three things to a deserted island? Why would I be on a deserted island? I guess if my plane goes down or whatever, then maybe. But then I'd be lucky to survive that and also, I wouldn't be able to choose what I landed with. And I'd be with other lucky survivors sooo it wouldn't be a deserted island anyway cause it'd have people. And then we could all make a fire and toast marshmallows and wait for rescue. Or possibly we'd eat each other. You know, eat each other. Either way, I'd be the last man standing. Yay Anders!
Okay seriously though, what's with all this weird bullshit? End of the world? Flesh of the undead? The deserted island one is looking pretty normal compared to the others here, and that's saying something. Who's the one writing this crap? You need a new hiring policy, seriously. Here, have my card. Remember: Anders Johnson of JPR.
Call me.
Character: Tyrone "Ty" Johnson
Series: The Almighty Johnsons
Character Age: 28 - 29
Job: Emergency Refrigerator
Canon: Many centuries ago, the Gods of Asgard left their homes to become mortal and venture into the unknown world aka New Zealand. Now, the spirits of these Gods and Goddesses rest within their descendants, who struggle to reclaim their power by reuniting Odin with Frigg. However, matchmaking is just as difficult with Gods as it is with ordinary people. And the Johnsons are most definitely not ordinary.
Ty Johnson became Hod on his 21st birthday and quite frankly, he'd rather be normal. The "God of all things cold and dark", Ty has the ability to manipulate and deal with anything falling under these categories. However, the downside is that he is permanently chilled to the bone and can freeze others with his powers unintentionally. This has made him cynical and bluntly sarcastic, often seeing the world in a harsh light. Despite his terrible circumstances and his own self-loathing attached to them, Ty is a genuinely kind and loving person, willing to give his all for other people. When he believes he's safe enough to be around them.
Sample Entry:
Tell us about yourself in a few words.
Sure. Even though I have no idea why you're interested. The name's Ty and I'm a Johnson from New Zealand. If you want specifics, I grew up in Norsewood, moved to Auckland and now I'm ... Actually I'm not entirely sure. Yes, it seems I'm pretty far from my normal postal code but I could use the distance. Fresh start in a new place. ... Which could use a little more freshness, really.
Why are you joining our happy community?
... Happy. Right. Nothing says happy like mud.
And I'm joining because I'm getting paid per hour for this job. Doesn't get much deeper than that, really.
Why do you think you should have this job?
Because I'm an expert at repairing fridges any time of the day and I'm always available because I lack a decent social life of any kind? Should there be a deeper reason for this or are emergency refrigerators like myself high in demand here? You ask a lot of rhetorical questions.
Are you unhappy with your life and the current state of affairs?
Yes.
But look, you're getting someone out of it. Yay for you. Yay for camp.
What do you expect from the campers here?
I expect them to be teenagers. Lots of bad decisions, alcohol, more bad decisions, more alcohol. Acting out against authority. Fridges full of rotting food, hopefully not the rotting undead, and booze. I've seen it all before. As you can see, my expectations are not very high.
If the campers had a crisis, what would you do?
Fix their fridge-related emergency?
I guess, if you meant in a more ... emotional context... I don't mind hearing what they have to say, but I'm sure there are better role models for teenagers out there. Way better than me, at least.
What if the crisis involved the end of the world? Please explain.
Either there is a crisis or there isn't. Seriously, cut it out. You're not getting me to baby-sit your campers on the side.
Do you think you could become a valuable asset to Camp?
No. Not now, not ever. They're better off without me. Most people are. I guess that sounds rather terrible on my job interview, but it's the truth. I'm good at my job. That's pretty much it! If you're looking for a bonafide counselor to help teenagers with their issues and crap, I'm not him. And I can't be.
Do you find these questions increasingly unnerving?
Yes. You should consider getting professional help because you're starting to give me goosebumps. And that's saying something.
Character: Donatello
Series: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)
Character Age: 15
Canon: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (often shorted down to TMNT for simplicity's sake) is the story of four mutant turtles and their ongoing ninjutsu training under their father figure-slash-sensei, Master Splinter, who was once a human and now is a mutant rat. SCIENCE!
No matter what version of TMNT you're familiar with, Donatello is always the intelligent one who dons the purple bandana, fights with a bo staff, and is a tech wiz responsible for creating just about everything else the turtles use in battle. The Nickelodeon series doesn't change any of that, but what it does do is flesh out his character to make him feel like a real teenager. Yes, he's still the genius egghead of the group, but he's also willing to fire back at his brothers with snark and the occasional bit of physical slapstick if they so much as hover a finger over his buttons, both literal and figurative.
Sample Entry:
Tell us about yourself in a few words.
Well, what is it you wanna know? I'm not really one to talk about myself a lot, but I guess if you're that interested... the name's Donatello! Just Don or Donnie is fine. I have three brothers, and they're nowhere near even half as interested as I am about technology! ... On second thought, that's probably a good thing, because I can't imagine anything good would come of a hothead, a sci-fi show geek, and a shellbrain being responsible for the research and creation of any sort of device. It'd be more than a small miracle if anything they came up with didn't immediately blow up in their faces, either.
But enough about them, right? I'm the one doing the survey, so let's get this train back on the Donnie track! Hahaha...ha... um, anyway. Next question?
Why are you joining our happy community?
Isn't it obvious from the name alone?! CFUD: Convention of Formerly Undiscovered tech-Designers! To be honest, the name could use a little work, but with all the talented minds coming to this convention to share ideas and show off past projects, I'm willing to overlook an awkward acronym. Besides, I am just--so excited to finally be able to talk with other people who understand what a copolymer is, much less how to form one safely!
What do you expect from your camp experience?
Camp experience? I thought the brochure said this was a convention. From my understanding, camps are typically much more elementary in their focus, and are used as more of a primer or a launchpad, whereas a convention is where people who have a lot of experience come together to brainstorm and push their field into new territory. They're two very different settings.
But I'm not saying a camp wouldn't be a great experience, too! I mean, if I could help some budding young minds jumpstart their passion for the sciences, that would be just as awesome. Everyone has to start somewhere, right?
Can you swim? Y/N
That's kind of a sudden change of topic, isn't it? Maybe someone just forgot to mark which questions were for possible research involvement at the convention... Anyway, yes, I'm quite capable of swimming.
- Could you still do it under extreme distress? Y/N
Yeah, of course I could! I may be a scientist, but I'm not a weakling. But that doesn't mean I'm implying you are if you can't, I just--will stop talking now.
-- While dragging someone else to shore? Y/N
Yyyyes, but why would I need to be dragging them in the first place?
--- While something, let’s say a tentacle, tries to drag you under? Y/N
... Can I change my original answer? I'm starting to have second thoughts about this.
