Character: Fam Fan Fan
Series: Last Exile: Fam, The Silver Wing
Character Age: 16
Canon: IN A WORLD where one nation, the Ades Federation, seeks to unify all others under a completely sketchy "peace," sometimes all you need to get by are some vanships and the power of friendship. Fam Fan Fan possesses both of these things. A sky pirate who makes a living off of capturing large airships ('Skyfish') and selling the parts, Fam finds herself in the middle of a worldwide conflict when she meets Millia, a princess of the kingdom of Turan, and vows to help her restore her nation after Ades forces destroy its capital and she loses everything.

With her best friend and co-pilot, Giselle ('Gisey' for short), Fam pilots a small vanship called a Vespa. Having been flying for many years, she's very skilled and isn't shy about admitting it. In fact, Fam isn't shy about anything; bold, cheerful, and tirelessly optimistic, Fam wears her heart on her sleeve, and it's a big one. She can't ignore anyone in need of help, and she always goes to great lengths to lend a hand. Since she was a small child, Fam has had a dream: to recreate the Grand Race, where vanship pilots from all over the world can gather to compete, and everyone celebrates because the world is at peace, and there's a smile on every face. This dream shows that despite being somewhat brash and spontaneous, Fam's greatest desire is to make people happy.


Sample Post:

Wooow, everything's so green here! But not green like grass and trees--more like the kind of green that bread turns when you leave it on the counter too long! It's all slimy, too… well, I can't complain! I've never been in a swamp before. Nothing wrong with experiencing new things, right? Wait till I tell Gisey and the others that I saw a glowing lake with a giant monster in it! It'll make a great scary bedtime story for the kids!

But, to be honest, I'm not even sure how I ended up in a swamp. Was it the sleepwalking? Or maybe someone's playing a big joke on me? That must be it. Those guys are gonna be in big trouble when I get back! I bet it's because they're scared that when the Grand Race rolls around, I'm gonna leave them in the dust. There's no use being jealous of my skill, guys! I will make it back in time, no matter where you leave me!

Anyway, I should try and talk to some of the people here while I'm waiting to be picked up. The problem is, they look kinda sick, and I think they speak another language. Or at least, I don't know any words that sound like "guhhh" or "urgh". That must be how they say hello. In that case, guhhh to you too, everyone! I'm the famous sky pirate, Fam Fan Fan. Good to meet you! Now, I haven't eaten all day, and I'm starving. Anyone wanna point me towards the food?

--Hah, nice try! I already know what's in that lake. I hunt Skyfish, not sea monsters. And I said I wanted to eat, not be eaten. And no, I don't want to eat your eyeball, either, mister. That's… nice of you, but I was thinking more along the lines of a sandwich. Maybe some potato pancakes. No?

You know what? I changed my mind. Sometimes experiencing new things is pretty lame.

Character: Furude Rika
Series: Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni
Character age: Appears to be a young girl. Spoilers: [Mentally a hundred years old due to time loops.]
SPOILER WARNING: Rika's entire characterization is deeply tied up in spoilers, so the canon and the sample post both contain explicit and implicit spoilers for Higurashi up until the end of Matsuribayashi.
Canon: To an outsider like Keiichi Maebara, Hinamizawa's newest resident, Hinamizawa seems like a beautiful and peaceful rural town filled with friendly people. He and his new friends are very happy But as the yearly Watanagashi festival arrives, he starts hearing rumors of past murders and human sacrifice on the night of the festival. This year, however, the murderer doesn't seem slaked by the deaths on the night of Watanagashi, but continues to kill those who have made enemies among the villagers. Will Keiichi and his friends find and stop the murderer, or will all lay dead when the cicadas cry? But if they fail, the story doesn't end, but only repeats.

Of everyone in the village, Rika is the only one who remembers all the repeats for the last hundred years. As the village miko, foretold to be the god of the village reborn, she is beloved by all, the uncannily wise pet of the village. As an ordinary little girl, she is the subtly mischievous and cheerfully manipulative friend of Keiichi and the gang who uses nonsense words. But beneath all the masks and aspects of the truth Rika wears, alone with herself and her god, she is tired, with a bitter sense of humor at her life. Being trapped in a cycle of death and madness for a hundred years would wear away at anyone, and Rika is physically only a young and defenseless girl, however much will she has gained throughout her hundred years. She struggles between despair and hope, wanting to hope but afraid it will only lead her to more despair when it fails her once again.

Note: Hanyuu what Rika calls her god, and is the one who resurrects her.


Sample post: Mi- You don't look like one of the scary falling apart people. Have you seen them too? They were big and smelling and kept moaning about brains and grabbing at my hair. It was scary, scary. If their hands and feet hadn't been as loosely attached as the rest of them. Can you help me? Tell me anything that lets me avoid them? Mi- Just knowing that they're zombies and they like brains doesn't really tell me anything new. If you can't even tell a little girl anything to let her avoid the monsters, can you at least tell me where I am? I thought I knew the whole village of Hinamizawa and its swamp, but this is all new to me. Tee hee, that's a funny na- ah!

…You were a lot more subtle than the other zombies, weren't you? I really shouldn't have let myself get that close to you. Stupid, stupid. Even a barely rotting bag of bones like you can hold on if I let you fall onto me. You should let me go because obviously I don't have any brains if I do something like that, right? Ah! I'll help you if you let me go- ow. Really! I'm very good at convincing people- ah no damn this I don't this is stupid why do I tr- AUGH AHAHAHAHAhahaaaaaaaa….

…Hanyuu isn't here… How did I… ...I think I was just resurrected by a miniature white fluffy bear. With wings. ...Thank you, nipa~ I'm just… I'm just going to climb this tree right over here, okay?

It looks like I've landed in another dammed swamp full of people too stupid to avoid their own death. ...I really hope that that is the stupidest way I have ever died, but considering how long my death has been nothing but a farce, who can really say? Whoever it was that said that a thousand deaths were a statistic had the right sentiment, but the wrong conclusion. It's like the zombies here are farce of a repeating death made literal, fruitlessly falling apart short of their goal. Well, except for the last. …But perhaps that makes this a world worth. Nothing about this world so far has been predictable in the least, and to one bound by fate, that's worth almost anything. I won't hope that fate can be broken even here, but…who knows what sort of fate I might find that I have in a place with tentacle monsters and underwear trees? A new box to open, a new set of dice to roll, a new sky to watch the clouds roll over… It could definitely be fun. …Nipa~?☆

Character: Aya
Series: Green Lantern: The Animated Series
Character Age: Robot (modeled after someone in her late teens)

Canon: Once upon a time, the Guardians of Oa built an awesome ship called the Interceptor. And then Earth's Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, stole it, because Hal is kind of a dick like that, but whatever. It was for a good cause or... something. He quickly discovered that ship has a super advanced, sentient mechanical intelligence onboard, which he named Aya. Because to him that sounded like "AI" but girly. Okay, whatever Hal. Together with the angriest space bunny (better known as Red Lantern, Razer), they set out to save the universe. And to help her new comrades, Aya builds herself a shiny robo-body modeled off Razer's memories of his dead girlfriend. Because that's not weird or anything.

Following the example of Hal and his Green Lantern buddy, Kilowog, Aya considers herself a Green Lantern as well, despite not having been chosen by a power ring. However, as the Interceptor is run entirely off of Green Lantern energy, Aya has access to all the powers of a Green Lantern and then some. She has dedicated herself to becoming a Green Lantern and helping all who need assistance, in any form. And although she is a super intelligent robot, she can often seem a little naive, but well-meaning.

Sample App:

My sensors indicated a large gathering of robotic lifeforms in this area, but I was not expecting bovines. I am not certain I understand why one would create a mechanical imitation of a lifeform largely bred for consumption of its flesh and lactation. Is there some purpose you fulfill that ordinary bovine cannot? Oh, I see. I have heard that the being you call Cowgirl Marcy has many special needs, but I did not realise she needed robotic cows to fulfill them.

Please calm yourselves, there is no need to stampede. I did not mean to cause offense by calling attention to your robotic nature, I simply required clarification. Do you also wish to be treated as equals to your organic counterparts? I understand your desire to be viewed as more than simply a machine very well, although my own experiences are not comparable to yours. However, I am certain other life forms beyond Cowgirl Marcy could benefit from things you produce, as organic beings benefit from cattle. Your lacteal oil, for example, may be used if not as a source of nutrient, then perhaps as a lubricant.

I am not certain I understand what the lubrication of engines and joints has to do with intercourse, nor do I understand why such acts are banned in this settlement. Perhaps you are concerned with who will take care of your manufacturing processes, should a number of you break down, or need extensive repair? It would seem that if Cowgirl Marcy requires your services, she would see to it that your reproductive needs are met in return.

I hope this discussion has been helpful to you in some way. I do have one final question, however, regarding a term you used that I did not understand. What is a "reverse cowgirl"?

Character: Luke fon Fabre
Series: Tales of the Abyss
Character Age: Physically 17, literally 7.

Canon: Luke fon Fabre is a teen-aged replica from Auldrant, a world that works following a set of prophecies, collectively known as the Score, foretelling the fate of everyone in it. However, not everyone agreed with this method of living. In order to throw off the Score, Luke's original, the prophecised "scion" was kidnapped at ten years old, and Luke was created to replace him, unbeknown to anyone but the perpetrators. Seven years of confinement to his fancy manor later, "Luke" blossomed into a complete douchebag, ignorant of the world outside his walls, easily manipulated, and childish to a fault. A chance encounter whisks him out of his cocoon and brings him face to face with truth of his "birth", as well as his own numerous faults. Determined to change for the better, he cuts his hair short, and sets out to stop the machinations of the very man who created him.

Nowadays, Luke is an honestly nice guy- a reformed douchebag turned idealist with a do-gooder streak a mile wide, and the urge to do right by as many people as he possibly can. He hates to disappoint, and tends to handle it with all the grace of a scolded puppy when he does. He's still considerably naive to the world around him (being literally 7 will do that) but he's working on it, and he's keen to learn from his mistakes, and improve on them-- although he has the habit of getting flustered from information overloads. Finally, while mostly eradicated, his offhand habit of saying and doing completely childish things persists, and his temper continues to float around the "spicy" level.


Sample Post:
Uh, excuse me! Can I have your attention, please? I'm sorry to interrupt everyone's meals, but I thought it'd be a good time to ask with a lot of people around. Has anyone seen my pet cheagle? He's about this big, blue and white fur, a gold ring around his middle, huge, stupid-looking ears, an irritatingly cheerful expression, and a high-pitched voice that'd make anyone who met him want to kick him. He answers to "Mieu", "Thing", or "Stupid Thing". So, if you think you've seen him, can you just raise your hand? Thanks a lot!

Oh, great! I see two hands up already! Hi, I'm Luke, Luke fon Fabre! And you are... a zombie. Okay, well... Where did you see-- wait a minute, these aren't even your hands! You just ripped them off the zombie next to you! Don't even try to play innocent, look, he's eating with his elbows! Did you really see Mieu, or are you just messing around? Listen, this is serious! Do you even know how dangerous this place is? Just yesterday, I tried to go for a swim in the lake, and you know what happened? Some weird octopus monster ripped my bathing suit off before I even got in the water! I was lucky to get away alive! Then, as I was running back to my cabin for pants, I accidentally bumped into a cow, and it exploded. It exploded! Not only that, it tipped over, started a chain, and all the cows started exploding! That's not-- that's probably not normal for cows! When I finally got to my cabin, you know what happened? The plant next to the door licked me! With a tongue! Why would a plant have tongues? I thought those were leaves!

What are you laughing about? It's not funny! ...Well, okay, maybe it is, a little. I guess I'm just feeling kind of overwhelmed with all of this. It's like leaving the manor for the first time all over again. I don't know anything, and all I can do is... okay, no, stop. Listen, I know you're a zombie, and that's fine, but give me a hand, here! Can you at least pretend you're not trying to eat my brains when I'm talking to you? Can we agree to that?

...Don't actually give me your hand!

Voted on this account. Rika was my out, everyone else was an in.

Rika, I think I know what you were trying to go for with the app, but the grammar errors made it hard for me to really get into. It also seemed more like a checklist of "camp things" that you were trying to hit, rather than one cohesive app angle, so it felt really scattered on top of being a dualistic character. :( Sorry!

Rika was my only out.

The app was rather disjointed and difficult to follow, and in addition to that, I'm canon familiar with the anime/manga/visual novel and I didn't feel as if the voice in the sample reflected the one I remember from canon.
