Character: Illumi Zoldyck
Series: Hunter x Hunter
Character Age: 24
Job: Camp Acupuncturist
Canon: Hunter x Hunter is, consequently, a series about a boy named Gon and his winding quest to become a Hunter and track down his father of questionable character. Illumi has very little to do with all of this. He completes the dangerous exam to use its numerous benefits and his status as a Hunter to supplement his real occupation – assassination. As the eldest son of the infamous Zoldyck family; a whole family of eccentric assassins known throughout the region for their “work”, he remains mysterious and faceless to the masses. When he gets involved in the storyline it’s almost always on account of work or family-related issues.
Illumi is his charming family’s ideal killing machine. By virtue of the family occupation, he is socially inept and incapable of forming proper connections with others. His face betrays no emotion, because emotions show weakness, and his sentences are short and to the point. His voice is monotonous, with a calm yet firm tone. At his core, his nature is both cold and stoic, but his dry sense of humor tends to leak out into his otherwise dull speech. As one who can calmly rationalize manipulating and crushing their loved ones in their best interests openly in speech, whether it’s because of his personality or his sheer power – he is clearly dangerous.
Sample Entry:
Good morning… campers. I suppose I’ll be working here for some time, so I’ll make this announcement quick and simple for you. I’ve been asked to provide certain services for your benefit. Acupuncture, to be exact. If you don’t know what that is… Ah, I’ve been told to inform you to “Google it.” Don’t get the wrong idea. It’s not that I like any of you, but I don’t particularly dislike any of you either. I’m simply testing my limits. The situation isn’t ideal... it’s kind of like having poison slipped into your soup. It isn’t pleasant but it won’t kill you either. Oh. That would kill most of you, wouldn’t it? Regardless, it can’t be helped; it’s my job. You should know that I’ve never actually tried using these needles for… healing purposes before. It would be so very easy to accidentally... Well, I’ll need a few volunteers or else I cannot guarantee a very… reliable service. You shouldn’t die from it, but it might hurt a little. Though seeking out the services of those Kupo-monsters might be to your benefit as well. Though I doubt a pom-pom can help you. If no one steps forward I may be forced to hand-select a few myself.
As this is rather… difficult work, I’ve taken the liberty of collecting a few assistants. Don’t worry. I assure you they are no longer the wild beasts they once were. They may not be the ideal image of obedience, but they will work just as well for the time being. It seems controlling the campers is frowned upon here and my particular skills aren’t suited for creatures of non-sentience so my choices were... limited.
Please keep in mind that my services are not for the faint of heart. If you were to die of a heart attack while receiving treatment, well. That would be counter-productive, wouldn’t it? So, try not to die while I’m healing you. We would have to revive you and try again.
As many times as it takes.
Until you feel better.
Character: Cid Raines
Series: Final Fantasy XIII
Character Age: Late twenties to early thirties.
Job: Advisor on Character Manipulators
Canon: Welcome to Cocoon: an idyllic paradise that floats above the wild and monster-infested world below, Gran Pulse. God-like entities called fal'Cie govern these lands and, on occasion, bestow individuals with their mark and superhuman powers. These people--known as l'Cie--are charged with a Focus: a task they are forced to complete. Success means eternal rest in a crystal stasis, while failure leads to a monstrous transformation. Six Cocoon citizens are branded as Pulse l'Cie--their Focus being the destruction of their home. As they seek answers to the reason behind their transformation, they will be hunted by the Sanctum, Cocoon's governing theocracy, and learn a dark secret about the very beings who rule over their world.
Cid Raines, while a high-ranking officer of the Sanctum’s military, goes against the grain and decides to assist the Pulse l’Cie in their quest to fulfill their Focus. An idealistic individual, the brigadier general would like to see nothing more than his home freed from the rule of the fal’Cie--one step shy of Cocoon’s destruction. This dream is his greatest ambition and strongest driving force. While he tends to be more formal and polite in his dealings with others, Raines is undoubtedly a powerful and eloquent speaker, who uses his talents to win people over to his cause. Confident, intelligent, and charismatic, he’s got all the makings of an excellent leader--one who isn’t afraid of taking a stand for what he believes to be right and just.
Sample Entry:
You must be the clients. I had been expecting a livelier group, but no matter. Please, take a seat; you all seem dead on your feet. I am Cid Raines, advisor on character manipulators, and I have been asked to instruct you on the management of entities who would attempt to take advantage of you for their own benefit. As I understand it, Director Sayre has been using you all in an attempt to terrify the citizens of this camp.
Your benefactor has led you to believe that you serve an important purpose here as an element of terror, but you have allowed yourself to be blinded--figuratively speaking, of course, but I do not doubt the accuracy of that phrase for some of you. Surely you have noticed that campers hardly pay you any heed, and can you even recall the last time someone genuinely screamed in horror at the sight of you? You are hardly the fiercest or deadliest of creatures she could make use of, so I can only assume she keeps you for her own amusement. The director has made you all a laughing stock. Will you stand for this treatment? Or will you rise up and demand better?
Her power and influence should not deter you all from taking a stand against her. You have nothing to lose--not life or limb, as your group seems to do well enough without them. Make use of your gifts and free yourselves from her. Do not allow her to dictate how you run your lives any longer. Fulfill your dreams and let nothing stand in your path. Reclaim your sovereignty.
Now tell me: how may I assist you in this endeavor? Put on a puppet show? Apologies, but I fail to see the relation between my job and this request. Would such a demonstration aid you in understanding somehow? There are more efficient methods to accomplish this, and as thoughtful as the gesture may be, I do not need you to bring me a box of marionettes and finger puppets.
Your insistence on forcing these items on me suggests a lack of interest in the subject at hand. While I understand that this is not the most enjoyable discussion matter, I ask that you focus. Dedication, not puppets, is what you need for your cause. Do you fear that you are no match for the director? That your intellectual capabilities are lacking? If this is why you seek a distraction, I have but one piece of advice for you: heed the call of your brethren and seek more brains.
Character: Jessica Day
Series: New Girl
Character Age: Late 20s
Job: Promotion of Really Original and Zany Activities Coordinator aka PROZAC
Canon: Reeling and apartment hunting after a difficult break-up, middle school teacher Jess Day answers a Craigslist ad and moves in with three guys. New Girl follows the lives of these slightly-older-than-young-adults trying to find their ways in love and life.
The namesake for the show, Jess is a bubbly and optimistic 20-something. While her cheerful demeanor is generally honest, Jess has a tendency to redirect serious or adult topics with a funny word, smile or song. In addition to musically dissipating awkward moments, Jess also occasionally sing-narrates her every move, much to the annoyance of almost everyone around her. Determined to see the good in everyone, Jess is very stubborn when her worldview is challenged. Because she prefers to avoid conflict, she becomes snappish and petty when she's pushed to face something she can't charm her way out of. Overall, Jess is very confident in her personality but can become self-conscious and let her perkiness slip when a joke or contribution goes unappreciated.
Sample Post:
All right everyone! My name is Ms. Day and I am so happy to see all of your faces today! This is such a new experience for me. I mean, I've seen thematic summer camps and progressive schools, but this is like so new. Not only do we have this great group of—you'll have to forgive me, I'm still getting used to the sensitivity training terminology—but this is a great group of purple apes, am I right? Let's give it up to them. And wow, am I impressed with my batch of campers. I think it's really great that despite unusual fur colors and progressive skin decay that we can all come together and make something beautiful, and I want you to know that this is absolutely a judgement free zone and I hope you're just as excited as I am to be here at Camp Fun. In fact, I'm so excited I wrote you a little song just now in my head, which I'm going to sing for you outside my head because otherwise that would be weird!
Camp Fun
We're in the sun! Hanging out by the swamp.
Whether you're grape apes or if your skin flakes
We're just all here to have fun!
C is for Camp and F is for Fun and U is for—
Well, it looks like I've just been handed a note and it says, "actually it's C F U D, which stands for Camp F....lowers!" Yes, that is definitely what I'm reading right here. Camp Flowers. Which I think is a lovely name for a camp! Even if we are in a swamp and there are more dead logs than daisies, but who's counting! I certainly am not, unless we're counting how much fun I'm having right now! Ha. Ha ha.
Anyway, let's try a new activity. This will be a fun one, I promise. Everyone find a partner and introduce yourself! Since I'm leading, I'll observe but I'll start us off with the introductions, of course. Can't have an ice breaker if you're not willing to be the first to chip away at it, if you catch my floe! Just a little frozen water humor for you there, but I can see by your chilly reception that that pun is a Titanic failure. Get it?
Tough crowd. But that's okay! I already introduced myself as Ms. Day and I'm your counselor for our time together here. And here's the moment you've all been waiting for! Yep, that's right folks, today we're going to learn square dancing! Not only is square dancing a great way to socialize and exercise, you get these really great little outfits and our favorite word fun! So grab that partner, do-si-doooh my gosh that just came right off there, didn't it? Oh dear. These two lovely participants are going to sit this round out, and I'd highly suggest that those of you with similar, um, soft...ness issues do as well! For your own safety and also because I don't think anyone around here can afford to lose any more helping hands, am I right?
No, you're right. That was not even a little bit good. Who's up for charades?
Character: Soul Eater Evans
Series: Soul Eater
Age: ~14
Canon: Death City is the home of Shibusen, a school that teaches reaping, writing, and arithmetic. No, that's not a typo, Shibusen actually educates Demon Weapons -- individuals with a special ability to shapeshift into a weapon -- to work in tandem with the Meisters capable of wielding them. Together they work to ensure that innocent souls are protected from the likes of witches, werewolves, and anything else that goes bump in the night. The work is dangerous, often life-threatening, but the reward is substantial: Any duo that collects ninety-nine corrupt souls and the soul of a witch will give the Weapon the status of Deathscythe, an exceptionally powerful weapon worthy of the Grim Reaper himself. Oh, and the Grim Reaper is the principal. Again, not your average school.
The titular character is Soul Eater Evans, a guy who also happens to be a scythe. Together with his wielder Maka, he's determined to become the world's strongest weapon. Of course, Soul isn't the type to admit he wants something so badly. A mellower, more cynical foil to his partner's earnestness, Soul prefers to play things cool. He isn't as suave as he'd like to believe, but he does manage to have his moments. His laid-back demeanor houses a sharp mind and unheralded musical talents, the latter going so far as to characterize Soul's style of combat.
Sample Post:
Man, I don't get the point of trapping people at a haunted carnival. Is it supposed to be creepy or funny? Either way, whoever animates a bunch of a zombies to run a ferris wheel and cotton candy machine has a pretty lame sense of humor. There's such a thing as taking a joke too far, and using a bunch of innocents to do your dirty work definitely qualifies.
Even with the weird horror vibe this place is trying to give off, some of the things here don't even make sense. So far I've seen fire-breathing ducklings, robotic cows, and a bunch of really friendly gorillas that I'm still trying to avoid. Some of that stuff would be pretty cool on its own, but nothing about this place quite adds up. I figure there must be a pretty powerful corrupted soul at work behind this mess.
As far as I can tell, the maestro behind this whole bizarre performance is someone by the name of Marcy. She must be one strong chick to be able to control all of the spooks running around. I'd be feeling a lot better about my odds against her if I knew where Maka was. I don't like admitting it, but without her I don't have much of a fighting chance. An instrument can't do much without a player.
Still, I can't let this Marcy get the best of me before we've even come face to face! I have to keep this in perspective, it's just one opponent after all. With a cutesy name like Marcy she can't be a total monster. No need to get psyched out, it's just another gig. Yeah, no worries, I'm sure when we meet this Marcy and I will make beautiful music together.
Character: Young Simba
Series: The Lion King
Character Age: Uh... young. He's a lion cub!
Canon: The Lion King tells the story of Simba, a young lion prince, on his journey to become the great king of the Pride Lands (a sunny savannah in Africa, where his father and their pride of lions rule over the other animals in a weird sort of monarchy). It is a mostly happy tale with an ending one might expect, though the jealous uncle plotting to swipe the throne from under Simba’s feet does provide the drama necessary to make the story an interesting one!
In the beginning, while Simba is indeed very playful and friendly, he also takes his title of prince (future king) quite seriously... by which I mean that as royalty, he believes he gets to do whatever he wants. He’s abit of a brat and a big but not literally show-off, always eager to earn the admiration of friend and stranger alike. However, despite his confident attitude, he tends to get pouty and whiny around those who disagree with the irrefutable fact that he’s the best thing to happen since sliced bread.
Sample Post:
Attention, Camp! The name's Simba, and guess what? The Director just made me your new king.
...Well, okay, she said I’m more like the King-In-Training, but! A future king is basically the same thing as a real king, and that means you all have to do what I tell you, heheheh! She told me I was free to do anything I wanted with this place, as long as I don’t get out of hand with the spontaneous musicals (We don’t “have the budget” for it or something? Whatever that means.).
So my first act as your new king will be as follows: I’m moving Camp to Africa. I can’t take us to the Pride Lands, exactly (I guess it’s “cheating” to take you home, or whatever), but the savannah we’re going to instead is almost as cool. Puh, most of you guys aren’t good enough to be in my real kingdom anyway... It’s not like I’ll get homesick or anything; a great king like me is way too brave for that.
Anyway, you guys will love the new location, I promise. I mean, it’s kind of hard to get any worse than this smelly old swamp, right? No more zombies, or plants that try to eat you... And the best part is, you won't have to deal with snow or ice or that yucky mistletoe that I keep hearing about, since it’ll be way too warm for any wintery stuff to happen in the savannah! I know, I’m a genius, but that’s why I’m the king and you guys are the ants and the antelope.
Whether all of that convinced you or not (and I’m pretty sure it did), this decision is final and there’s no way I’m changing it. ...Though if you have complaints about any of the other rules I’m making (like the all raw meat buffet in the Mess Hall, or the mandatory hunting lessons at dawn), I guess I can at least try to listen. I know that a wise king is supposed to take his subjects’ happiness into account and stuff. There is this one thing, though... The Director said if anybody tries to get the sugar rule changed, I'm supposed to eat them.

Character: Young Simba
Series: The Lion King
Character Age: Uh... young. He's a lion cub!
Canon: The Lion King tells the story of Simba, a young lion prince, on his journey to become the great king of the Pride Lands (a sunny savannah in Africa, where his father and their pride of lions rule over the other animals in a weird sort of monarchy). It is a mostly happy tale with an ending one might expect, though the jealous uncle plotting to swipe the throne from under Simba’s feet does provide the drama necessary to make the story an interesting one!
In the beginning, while Simba is indeed very playful and friendly, he also takes his title of prince (future king) quite seriously... by which I mean that as royalty, he believes he gets to do whatever he wants. He’s a
Sample Post:
Attention, Camp! The name's Simba, and guess what? The Director just made me your new king.
...Well, okay, she said I’m more like the King-In-Training, but! A future king is basically the same thing as a real king, and that means you all have to do what I tell you, heheheh! She told me I was free to do anything I wanted with this place, as long as I don’t get out of hand with the spontaneous musicals (We don’t “have the budget” for it or something? Whatever that means.).
So my first act as your new king will be as follows: I’m moving Camp to Africa. I can’t take us to the Pride Lands, exactly (I guess it’s “cheating” to take you home, or whatever), but the savannah we’re going to instead is almost as cool. Puh, most of you guys aren’t good enough to be in my real kingdom anyway... It’s not like I’ll get homesick or anything; a great king like me is way too brave for that.
Anyway, you guys will love the new location, I promise. I mean, it’s kind of hard to get any worse than this smelly old swamp, right? No more zombies, or plants that try to eat you... And the best part is, you won't have to deal with snow or ice or that yucky mistletoe that I keep hearing about, since it’ll be way too warm for any wintery stuff to happen in the savannah! I know, I’m a genius, but that’s why I’m the king and you guys are the ants and the antelope.
Whether all of that convinced you or not (and I’m pretty sure it did), this decision is final and there’s no way I’m changing it. ...Though if you have complaints about any of the other rules I’m making (like the all raw meat buffet in the Mess Hall, or the mandatory hunting lessons at dawn), I guess I can at least try to listen. I know that a wise king is supposed to take his subjects’ happiness into account and stuff. There is this one thing, though... The Director said if anybody tries to get the sugar rule changed, I'm supposed to eat them.
