Character name: Lavie Head
Series: Last Exile: Fam the Silver Wing
Age: 17
Canon:In a world where resources are limited, huge interstellar transport ships called Exiles are being collected and used as weapons of mass destruction. After the war, many people decided to relocate to Earth and plant new seeds with their new chances at life and peace. Claus and Lavie retired to a life of farming, enjoying the company of their surviving friends.
When it comes to dangerous situations, Lavie tends to be the voice of reason. Brave, intelligent, and strong-willed, she and Claus race high in the sky as a team, and she backsasses scary bad guys with lightsabers. However, Lavie mothers many of those she’s close to, always cooking hearty meals with barely any money. Her cheery demeanor can quickly turn violent, but it’s usually well-meaning. She’s a vanship navigator and a tomboy crushing for love, waiting for her oldest friend to realize that she’s always been by his side. She’d do nearly anything to protect her friends.
Note: a vanship is a tiny steampunk-y plane. Don’t think about it too much.
Sample:
Tell us about yourself in a few words.
I’m Lavie Head, a navi. I’m seventeen years old and ready to kick some butt! Me and Claus will cream you guys. And we won’t take it easy on you either, no matter how much you’re falling apart... Actually, that’s really weird. Stop that.
Why are you joining our happy community?
“Happy community” sounds so creepy... This is Camp Fly Ur Dreams, right? I’m here to become a better navi. There’s always something I can learn!
Have you committed any crimes you were or should have been convicted from?
Uh, nooo. Of course not. Ahaha...ha.
What are your greatest achievements in life?
Jeez, that’s a loaded question. Well, nothing tops the Grand Stream! It was always my and Claus’ dream to fly through it with our fathers’ vanship. And we made it! It took all of Claus’ piloting skill and my abilities as a navi to get us through. Oh, the Grand Stream is the most dangerous air current in the skies. Constantly going at 120 knots, you have to be the best to get through with your life without getting ripped apart. ...Of course, I get sleepyhead Claus up every morning, and that’s just as difficult.
If there was a good dog and a criminal both hanging from a cliff and you could only save one, which would you save and why?
Who says I have to choose? I don’t got anything against dogs. And just because someone broke a few laws, that doesn’t make them a bad person. I’d save ‘em both and feed ‘em ‘til they burst. Unless the criminal was a jerk.
What if it was a goat and a criminal?
Save the goat, let the criminal fall. (Just kidding.) But seriously, what’s with all the stupid questions? Who could let a cute little goat die?
Can you perform a flawless headshot? If not, and if your life depended on it, how many hours a week would you be willing to spend on the shooting range?
I'm not using a gun. At least, not if I don't have to. My weapons are my tools. ...Don’t look at me like that, I’m not going to clock you over the head with a wrench. Probably.
Would you be able to dispose of the flesh of the undead? How?
Ew, what? You telling me these guys are dead? No way. No headshots and no dumping bodies. And anyway, they’re just shambling around all creepily. If they start getting handsy, that’s when I’ll hit them with a frying pan. Or a table.
Why are you a valuable asset to this camp?
Finally, a good question! I figured there’d be little navi-to-be’s walking around here, so I brought my old manual. It’s in here somewhere… I wrote down everything I learned, from the parts of a vanship to the right Claudia levels for take-off. Everything you’ll ever need to know! Well, almost everything. Like I said, there’s still more I could learn. But hey, might as well help a kid out, right?
Do you find these questions increasingly unnerving? Why/Why not?
Let’s see. You have dead guys walking around. Plus apparently a bunch of cliffs with a criminal, goat, and dog hanging from each one. Which is overkill, really. And you have guns. So no, not really. But I’m a little worried about how crazy or un-crazy you are. So I’m gonna just leave the rest of the questions to you and look around on my own. And uh, maybe that’ll give you some time to piece yourself back together.
Character: Cassandra “Cassie” Lang / Stature
Series: Marvel Comics, specifically, Young Avengers
Character Age: 14
Canon: What do you do when the world’s most well-known and well-respected superhero team, the Avengers, is disbanded and out of reach when trouble strikes? Well, if you’re a group of teenagers who want to be superheroes, you form the Young Avengers, of course. The Young Avengers began as a fledgling superhero team consisting of eager teenagers- some with super powers, some without- that want to prove that they are just as competent as their adult counterparts. They have close ties with the Avengers, none more so than Cassie Lang, who is the daughter of the former Ant-Man, Scott Lang. Cassie had always considered her father her personal hero, and after his death she struggled to move on, until she found the Young Avengers and invited herself onto the team. As she and the rest of the team comes into their own, successfully defeating more and more formidable foes, they may not completely win the Avengers’ approval, but they’ve certainly gotten their attention-- along with the rest of the world’s.
Cassie goes by the superhero name as Stature, and as her codename suggests, Cassie has the ability to change her size at whim. She can grow as tall as a building or shrink as small as an ant, sometimes even unconsciously when she’s angry or sad. Cassie’s the youngest member of the team, but that doesn’t mean you should underestimate her, and she’d tell you as much.Cassie can have quite a temper; she doesn’t back down from a fight and will always speak her mind. When it comes to her duties as a superhero, Cassie’s enthusiastic, passionate, sometimes impulsive, and always a caring teammate. Like any teenager, Cassie has her moments of insecurity, especially since she became a superhero against her mother’s wishes, adding tension to an already strained relationship. But being a superhero is Cassie’s dream, and she won’t let anything get in her way.
Note: For those that are canon familiar, Cassie’s being taken from Issue 4 of Children’s Crusade.
Sample:
Tell us about yourself in a few words.
I’m Cassie Lang. Yes, that Cassie Lang. My dad was Ant-Man before he died, and I go by Stature. Cool, right? Anyways, I’m a Young Avenger, and I really hope you don’t have a problem with that.
Why are you joining our happy community?
A camp for teenaged superheroes? Of course I’m going to join! Being a superhero is, like, my life. I thought I’d outgrown wanting to go to summer camp, but this is totally different. Except I’m sorta confused with this whole setup. The tentacle monster I get. It’s there for us to fight, right? That’ll be some interesting training. I’ve gone up against a lot of villains, but a giant squid monster’s a new one.
On the other hand, those zombies? You don’t exactly need to be a superhero to fight them. They’re barely standing up on their own! One good hit from me, and they’d be in pieces, or, more pieces than they’re already in. And, honestly, I’d feel kinda bad fighting them. I became a superhero to help people, not to hurt innocent, uh, undead people. If we’re supposed to be getting training here, at least make it a fair fight and a challenge.
What do you expect from the counselors?
Well, not to have a bad attitude about this, but most adults don’t exactly approve of us. The Avengers didn’t at first, my mom doesn’t, and my step-dad never will. I guess, what I’m saying is, I’m not expecting much from them. But as long as they don’t try to convince me being a superhero is a bad idea-- and if you’re sponsoring a summer camp for teenage superheroes, why would you even do that?-- I don’t think we’ll have too many problems.
Do you think you are good in a crisis? Why?
Well, yeah, of course. I’m a-- Wait, if you’re asking this because I’m only almost fifteen, then forget what I said before, we’re going to have a lot of problems. I’ve been around superheroes my entire life and I know how to handle myself when things go wrong! If you think I’m not qualified, or that I’m immature, you have the wrong idea!
… Look, I’m going to calm down before things grow, I mean, get out of hand. I’m just going to assume that’s not what you were implying and you had to ask that question for your records. So yes, I’m good in a crisis.
If there was a good dog and a criminal both hanging from a cliff and you could only save one, which would you save and why?
The cool thing about being able to grow taller than a building is that I could definitely save them both. There’s no reason why I’d only be able to save just one of them. Like, if I was a normal person or even a normal-sized superhero, then maybe I’d just save the dog or the criminal, but I’m neither of those. And if you’re not going to believe that answer, remember when I said I was a Young Avenger? We’re a team. I could save the criminal, while one of my friends saves the dog. Either way, they’re both getting saved.
What would you consider to be your “soul” animal and why? (this is for purely scientific purposes and will not have consequences during your stay at all. Trust us! :))
… I know what you want me to say. And I guess if I have always liked ants. They’re totally underappreciated and maybe it was weird, but I’ve always stopped kids from killing them just because they wanted to. You know that magnifying glass trick? No one gets away with that when I’m around. So sure, I’ll say an ant, not just because they’re cool, but to honor my dad. But that doesn’t make me some ant whisperer. And, no, you still can’t call me Ant-Girl.

Buuut what I have for personality is good! It fits and I see a clear voice, so I will go with in, but these are definitely issues to keep in mind for future apps.
and Cassie you had me at hello darling.

being familiar with LE: Claudia isn't a person; it's like the powersource stuff for their vanships :O (I don't actually remember how that stuff works ASK DIO)
but yes I would agree with that being the sort of thing that needs to be explained, since it's kind of out of nowhere without anything to really indicate what its function is/what it does.

It can get tricky to summarize things! But a general rule of thumb is that if it's in the app, it should probably be explained. No worries though, you're doing great! I also wish to see this impending catfight.

Lavie, I agree with Tot up there that your canon section is a bit lacking, and your app is a little too canon-reliant/too many canon terms for people who are canonblind--for instance, the Grand Stream could have been mentioned in the canon section itself owing to that being one of Claus and Lavie's driving motivations through the series (though it looks like you're taking her from the veeeery end of the series or somewhere in Fam). Otherwise as it is your canon section is "There are giant weaponized ships called Exiles and there was a war!!! And then people went to Earth and these two nerds started farming" . . . which doesn't really tell you about the series at all.
THAT SAID the app itself is pretty solid voice-wise, and I think you got her down fairly well :)
