Character: Todd Tolansky/ Toad
Series: X-Men: Evolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men:_Evolution
Character Age: 14-15
Canon: ONCE UPON A TIME LONG, LONG AGO the villains Magneto and Mystique decided to form a Brotherhood of Mutants made of teenagers. It functioned as a sort of halfway house for wayward young terrorists-in-training. The Brotherhood stole, lied, cheated, and caused a small amount of mayhem (they also occasionally helped the X-Men save the day). They were often left to fend for themselves and eventually were cut loose altogether.
Todd was the youngest member. Like many of the others he didn't seem to have parents. Joining the Brotherhood made him feel like he belonged somewhere and had a purpose. Not that the Brotherhood were all that nice to each other. They had their problems, but a messed up family was better than no family at all.
Any attention is good attention to Todd. He's not the brightest kid, or the most courageous. He doesn't trust easily, he brags, he's selfish, he doesn't bathe very often, but if he feels accepted, he'll be completely loyal. He's usually fairly upbeat.
Sample Entry:
Tell us about yourself in a few words.
I'm not someone you wanna mess with. They call me Toad. I'm a mutant. I figure it's okay to say that 'cause you must know already or you wouldn't have wanted me here. Anyhow, I got real super powers and they are awesome. I can do a jump shot like no one else.
Why are you joining our happy community?
Beats me...I mean I was here when I woke up and the boss lady'd been saying she wanted us to learn some discipline, so maybe she carted me off while I was sleeping, so I think I'm here for the opportunity to better myself for the good of mutantkind? Yeah, that.
What do you expect from your camp experience? I dunno, free food? Maybe? And the opportunity to better myself for the good of mutantkind and learn some wicked karate skills or somethin'.
...where is everyone anyway? I don't see nobody but a couple a drunk hobos staggering around. I didn't just get dumped here by myself or nothin' right?
Why are you a valuable asset to this camp? Cause I'm just valuable. Need to get stuff off a top shelf? I got it for you. I can kick pretty hard. Oh! and I learned to make bombs by putting a rag in a bottle of gas and setting it on fire. Pietro's always saying things like "Toad, you are a valuable asset to this team." He'll tell you I'm lying if you ask him, but yeah, he says that all the time. I'm just that useful. And I don't eat much since I can catch my own food and I can pretty much fall asleep anywhere, so no need for a bed if you ain't got space. I mean, I want a bed, but if you ain't got one, no biggie. Just don't make me share with Freddy. I don't want him to roll over and squash me, that would suck.
What do you expect from the counselors? Is that a real question? Counselors and teachers are grownups. They expect stuff from me and what I think ain't got much to do with it.
Do you think you are good in a crisis? Why? Yeah, cause I'm used to taking care of myself. And despite what you might've been told I can fight, really, it's just that we're always fighting insanely superpowered people or else I'm at school. The boss lady says that if I fight at school and get sent to jail she'll rip my tongue out and use it for flypaper. Mystique's frickin' crazy so she might really do it.
What if the crisis involved the end of the world? Please explain.
If it's down to me and the Brotherhood stopping the end of the world we're probably all doomed, but that doesn't mean we ain't even gonna try. Down to just me? I'll do what I gotta but, uh, no promises, yo.
Do you have any deep personal traumas you might inexplicably be compelled to share in this questionnaire? Please describe.
Hell no.
Have you committed any crimes you were or should have been convicted from?
No.
Are you lying on your previous answer?
No, I shouldn't have been convicted for anything I did.
Maybe there was one thing, but it was a mistake, so I'm not lying okay?
Character: Jimmy "Steve" Lishman
Series: Shameless (US)
Character Age: early 20s
Job: Guidance Counselor
Canon: Shameless is a dark comedy that follows the Gallagher family as they struggle to survive below the poverty line while their good-for-nothing alcoholic patriarch Frank dreams and schemes and accidentally-on-purpose ruins their lives. The eldest daughter, Fiona, serves as the head of the family, raising five kids on her own all while working every minimum wage job she can get her hands on to keep them afloat, with the rest of the kids pitching in where they can. Though their situation is less than ideal, the Gallagher kids all genuinely love one another and work to help one another through their various problems in life, big and small.
Jimmy Lishman, on the other hand, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Raised by a wealthy family and packed up and shipped off to medical school, Jimmy grew bored with life and dropped out of school, becoming a car thief and all around con man. Going by the name of "Steve" at first, Jimmy befriends Fiona and falls in love with her, trying to help her with whatever he can. In general, Jimmy is a charismatic young man who means well and thinks he knows everything. And while Jimmy is smart and savvy, he has difficulty understanding other people's perspectives or, you know, why people would be angry when he's lying about his own identity. He can be stubborn and pushy, unwilling to hear the word "no" and yet, when things aren't going his way, he's more inclined to disappear, only to resurface later. He's well spoken, though prone to losing his cool when things get rough. Jimmy's bad habits can get him in way over his head but at the end of the day, he's just another wayward young man looking for his place.
Sample Entry:
Tell us about yourself in a few words.
A few words, huh. Sure, why not? Hi, I'm Steve. I used to work in auto sales back in Chicago but, you know. You do something for so long and eventually, you're gonna want a change of pace. And hey, kids are great. By the way, you don't have background checks here, do you? Not that it's a problem if you do. With the kids and everything, you'd want to keep things on the up and up, right? It just so happens that I've got a copy of mine handy right here. Of course it's legitimate, why wouldn't it be?
Why are you joining our happy community?
Well, according to you, I'm here as a guidance counselor. I've gotta admit, I've had a few odd jobs with kids in the past. I've been a coach, and that was something. Easy, too, when all those kids want to do is tackle and punch each other in the balls. Guidance counselor though, that's new. And not actually something I've ever seen at the summer camps I went to as a kid. We had camp counselors, like with arts and crafts, archery, canoeing, and the ones who excelled at sex underneath the bleachers by the lake. Guidance wasn't exactly at the top of anyone's list there. But hey, clearly you need me!
Have you committed any crimes you were or should have been convicted from?
Well, if you'll look at this nice official paperwork I've provided you with, you'll see that I haven't had any convictions, potential or otherwise.
Are you lying on any of your previous answers?
That's not very guidance counselor-like.
Do you think you are good in a crisis? Why?
Sure. I mean, I've been in a few myself, helped out a few friends in need. I'm good at problem solving. I can be creative and keep a cool head.
What if the crisis involved the end of the world? Please explain.
Well, if it-- wait, hold on. What the hell, man, why are we talking about the end of the world here? Is this some kind of "end of days" camp where you're hiding valium and cyanide or some shit in the Kool Aid?
Do you consider yourself squeamish? Please provide an example.
It's funny, I was actually kidding about the valiu-- you know what, never mind. On a scale of one to ten, I'm a seven. I can handle scrapes kids get on the field. Kid breaks a leg, I'm there. You know, what a summer camp counselor would have to deal with on a daily basis. I'm good for that.
Would you be able to dispose of the flesh of the undead? How?
-- I'm sorry, is this a summer camp run by the mob?
If you could get away with committing one crime and suffer absolutely no consequences, what would you do and why?
How about not disposing the flesh of anything? Jesus christ, what the hell kind of camp are you running here? With all the end of the world bullshit and the body dumping lessons you've got going on here? Yeah, no fucking wonder your kids need a guidance counselor!
