Characters Name: Izaya Orihara
Age: 24
Canon: Durarara!!
Canon Point: End of anime/Beginning of novel 5
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: One of the first observations that a person can and will make in relation to Izaya is that the male has a persistent need to remain undefined by anything such as a 'label'. You could say he is bisexual but even then the definition of bisexuality does not seem to quite cover the broad range of 'love' that the informant possesses in relation to all the humans which surround him. To be fair, even if his sexuality was obvious the informant would keep such information to himself until a time arises in which a more physical love is necessary rather than his usual - albeit sometimes fake - emotional affection.

Characters Name: Natsuki Usami
Age: 17
Canon: Tsuritama
Canon Point: Episode 8
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: Unstated, but I'd be fine with him being with either?
History: here
Appearance: here
Personality: When Natsuki is first introduced in Tsuritama as one of Yuki's classmates, he seems stand-offish and reticent. This isn't entirely an inaccurate evaluation of his personality — he isn't the kind of guy who opens up to others easily. So to most people, he simply seems like a slightly proud, but otherwise reserved kid. He doesn't really like anyone to know much about him, either. But even so, he's still a polite sort of guy; the sort who will give up his train seat for an older man without being asked. So even if he's a bit stand-offish to people his own age, he's still a hard worker and fairly well liked in Enoshima.
Because really what makes him so proud is his title as "the fishing prince". He's one of the best young fishermen in Enoshima; one of the best in Japan, really. But even if he comes off a little impatient at first, he actually really does know how to teach fishing, and as he teaches Haru and Yuki more about it, he begins to warm up to them as he learns that they are actually serious about the hobby, and not just treating it as a joke or as something "easy". As proud as Natsuki is of being a good fisherman, though, he hates for people at school to know about it, because he doesn't like being associated with the sport on that level— and he wants to separate the fishing part and just being a normal school boy. But he's still incredibly passionate about fishing, and you can see it in the change in his expressions when he talks about the sport.
We see the most depth out of him when he's with his father and sister. Natsuki has a lot of problems with his father— partially because he doesn't want his father to change his shop business to something more cafe-like and less Enoshima like, and also, more importantly, because he thinks his father has forgotten their dead mother to be with another woman. His little sister, Sakura, also has this issue, but Natsuki doesn't really see that she's suffering either. As much as he loves Sakura, and softens significantly in her presence, he still acts out to her when his dad is involved.
The most important part of his relationship with Yuki to his personality is that Yuki doesn't understand the full depth of his family situation, and thus when Natsuki is being especially stubborn, Yuki calls Natsuki out on his stubbornness, and helps him realize that he isn't the only one hurting over it, and that he should treat his father and sister better than he had. This is the point that he's coming from at his episode eight canon point, when he's started to accept his father's new life a bit more, and starts being a better member of the family over all.
Abilites: He's a skilled fisher, but that's it!
Other: I'm taking him from right before he gets his haircut in episode 8, so he doesn't actually know what Haru really is yet.
SAMPLES
First Person:
[ the young man on camera sighs a little, closing his eyes. there's a faint trace of a smile on his lips. ]
... You know, I'm used to a slow life, but I still think there's something missing. Those forms we got— when we got here? They said something about the finer things in life being around, if we just use the red key, but ...
I think there's something missing.
[ he adjusts the cell phone, so that the viewer can see what's behind him. namely ... more houses. ]
You can't see the ocean here at all.
Is there at least a lake here? I don't want to fall out of practice. Although if anyone knew a way out, that would be ideal. Lakes make for poor substitutes.
Third Person:
When Natsuki first woke up, he thought he must have fallen asleep on the pier. Except when his eyes regained focus, he realized that wherever he had woken up was far too ... landlocked. Not to mention that he didn't remember ever laying back in a lawn chair.
He stood up. This wasn't Enoshima, that much was obvious. It looked like something off an American show, not that he paid much attention to most of those. It was very ... clean. Everything seemed perfectly manicured, like there wasn't a single hair out of place. It wasn't that Natsuki couldn't appreciate organization or attention to detail, but this just seemed like it was too much. There wasn't even anyone out on the streets.
Mostly though, it was the lack of water that was starting to bother him. It wasn't like he was adjusting from city life or anything like that, so he couldn't complain that this place seemed like it would be slow. But he needed to be able to fish. He couldn't just give that up because he was somewhere else. They had promised to fish together, after all. Even if he couldn't see Yuki, or Akira, or Haru here.
Although this could be one of Haru's strange pranks with his water gun, couldn't it? He sighed inwardly. This seemed like a little too much even for Haru, but it was the only lead he had. So he might as well try to follow it. He scanned the scene again, before he realized there was a note on the door. Something addressed to him. It didn't look like Haru's writing (and he was pretty sure Haru wouldn't bother with things like envelopes), but maybe it could be an answer of another sort.

Characters Name: Morgiana
Age: fifteen
Canon: Magi: Labyrinth of Magic
Canon Point: Chapter 161
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
History:
Most of Morgiana's past is still a mystery, except that she is originally from the Dark Continent. At a young age, Morgiana was taken from her mother and father, and was sold at a market as a slave. One of the things that happened to her while she was there was being stripped and shown off naked. During that time, she used to cry out for her mother and father to to save her.
At some point, Morgiana was sold to Jamil, who abused her to the point of her being terrified of him, something that still haunts her. Like Aladdin pointed out, Morgiana had invisible chains on her, set by Jamil. She had something similar to Stockholm syndrome, where the captive starts to sympathize with the captor.
Farther information can be found at her wikia!
magi.wikia.com/wiki/Morgiana
Appearance: As a Fanalis, Morgiana has bright red hair and eyes, along with distinguishing features that sets her apart from the others. It's very easy for someone to be able to recognize her because of these traits.
Personality:
Morgiana is a quiet girl that barely talks. She has a fascination for strange things, like instead of jewelry for her Household Vessel, she considered two devilish looking gauntlets (though possibly only because Alibaba recommended them). When annoyed or mad, Morgiana puffs up her cheeks and stomps her foot on the ground in anger (which breaks underneath her feet.) While having the appearance of being aloof and uncaring, Morgiana truly cares about her friends to the point that she would be willing to fling herself into battle without the slightest hint of hesitation.
Around people her own age, Morgiana is very socially awkward, and can be quite uncomfortable, as most of her life was dedicated to being a slave she had no real chance of making friends. She is secretly very insecure about herself because she always deems herself to be useless compared to the others. Her biggest wish is to be useful to Aladdin and Alibaba. She was happy and flattered that someone like Hakuryuu's could have feelings for her, but says that being with him could most likely never happen. It's also quite possible that for Morgiana, the idea of her being Empress was not something she ever considered could happen, because of her old life as a slave, showing that she still has a complex about it.
Morgiana for the most part is shown to be like any other girl, showing hints of jealousy when Alibaba would flirt openly with other girls, along with smiling and blushing when she was complimented. One thing that is very well known about Morgiana, is her sensibility to the topic of slaves.
Back before she met Aladdin and Alibaba, she was one herself and she knows of the hardships, the pain, the abuse that had been inflicted upon her for years. The idea that she, as a slave could never be set free and would always be used like a dog. She knows this all very too well and that is why it's something that can easily set her off, and when the opportunity calls for it she won't hesitate to save those enslaved.
Abilites:
As a member of the Fanalis, Morgiana is very strong when it comes to fighting. She is strong enough to take down a large number of opponents with her bare hands.
Battle cry: Morgiana has a battle cry that she uses to fight against, and scare off monsters. She has scared off beasts up to 2 to 3 times her size.
Echolocation: An upgraded version of her Battle Cry, Morgiana uses this to see her surroundings when shrouded in the pitch darkness.
Physical Strength: Morgiana is very strong and her kicks can defeat dangerous beasts in single hits. She was able to break adult Fanalis handcuffs and chains when she got angry. She is strong enough to carry up to 7 people at once. Since training under Masrur, her strength has further increased.
Enhanced senses: Morgiana is shown to have a superior sense of smell and sound, and has been proven useful a number of times.
Martial Artist : Since going to Sindria, Morgiana has trained under Masrur (another Fanalis) in martial arts to increase her physical skills and since training, she has shown impressive improvement.

Characters Name: Jade Harley
Age: 14
Canon: MSPA: Homestuck
Canon Point: December 1st, during the first year on the ship heading toward the new session.
Species: Human.
Gender: Female.
History: Homestuck is very long, very complicated, and very confusing. It is a webcomic that is presented in an adventure game-like format. Many of the concepts are ridiculous, as it swings between ridiculous and very serious, so please bear with me. I'm going to boil Jade's history down as much as I can to make it as simple as possible. I am going to be leaving a lot out; if you need further clarification or expansion, please ask.
"Sburb" is a video game that basically brings about the end of the world. Characters play and, if they are successful, both create a new universe out of their game session and contribute to a war happening on the dream planets that their dream selves inhabit. When players begin this game, they have no idea what is going on; usually, they are clueless as to what they are actually doing other than "playing a game." Players who play the game are usually "fated" to do so and given titles like "witch of life" or "rogue of heart" that reference the special abilities they have and the roles that they will play as they level up within the game. Players also have "dream selves" on the warring dream planets Derse and Prospit.
Jade is unusual in that, for a very long time, when she went to sleep in the "real" world, she would awake in her tower on Prospit's moon. Prospit and Derse orbit another planet called Skaia, which acts as the battlefield between Derse and Prospit. People are able to see visions of the past, present, and future in the clouds of Skaia -- for a long time, Jade seemed to have precognitive or downright psychic abilities because of the visions she would see and the knowledge of future events that she would often glean from these clouds. While her friends also had sleeping selves on the moons of Derse and Prospit, they were unaware of it.
That being said, Jade was raised by her adoptive grandfather (her ectobiological father, but that is a long, long, long story) on a remote, volcanic island until he died when she was very young. Afterwards, she was raised by her guardian and dog slash best friend Becquerel, who was as devoted to her as she was to him. Also while very young, she received a birthday present sent to herself from the future (using a stable time loop) that made very little sense to her then, but helped to lead her to befriend her best pals online: two guys and a girl named John, Dave, and Rose.
Shortly after installing and beginning to play Sburb on John's 13th birthday, meteors began to hit and destroy the Earth. As part of the game, the kids would have to prototype their "kernelsprites," which are beings that act as guides and companions through the game. The kernelsprite would take the properties of whatever it was prototyped with (for example, John prototyped his kernelsprite with his dead Nanna's ashes, and it became Nannasprite -- basically, a ghostly grandmother guide.) The foes in the game also take on characteristics of whatever is prototyped. Through a serious mishap, Jade's kernelsprite was prototyped with her guardian Becquerel, causing the foes in the game to become ridiculously strong.
A being named Jack Noir, an agent of the planet Derse, also takes on the characteristics of whatever is prototyped. When he takes on Becquerel's traits, he becomes impossibly strong -- but he also inherits a strong love and devotion to Jade.
(As a note: when John's dream self woke up, Jade saved his life by sacrificing her own. Her dream self died, though her waking self remained unharmed. Through the use of time travel, her grandfather recovered and stuffed her deceased dream body [as is the family tradition] and put it on display in one of the towers at home when Jade was very young. Seeking guidance from her "dream self," Jade also prototyped this body with her kernelsprite, resulting in a very distressed and very confused Jadesprite who had been dead for years -- and had a lot of problems keeping it together emotionally.)
Time passes, the other characters are more important for a long time, and then Jade finally gets into the game for realsies. She spends a lot of time talking to the trolls, who are aliens from the universe that actually created Earth's. She discovers that it is her role in the game as Witch of Space to "create" the next universe through a complicated frog breeding process. With the help of the trolls Kanaya and Karkat, she does ultimately breed the perfect "genesis" frog in her laboratory at home, but when she goes to the top of her tower with it, she is murdered by an exploding shaving cream bomb at the hands of another Derse agent.
Bec Noir - a villain who loves her because of the fact that her dog had been protoyped with her kernelsprite - carries her to her quest bed after she dies, triggering her transformation to godtier and fully fledged witch of space. She merges with Jadesprite, shanghais a prospit ship, makes it huge, snags John and Davesprite, shrinks the kids' planets, and zooms through the fourth wall at the speed of light, heading to the new session.
Appearance:
Personality: Sweet and energetic, Jade initially gives off an impression of extreme childishness and maybe even naivety: it's evident by her room that part of her, at heart, is an excitable thirteen year old girl. She adores Squiddles (little smiling squid dolls that come complete with built-in magnets so that when brought close enough to each other that they actively hug,), enjoys having tea parties with her Manthro Plushies (darling toy manimal chaps that are probably actively disturbing to anyone who doesn't find them adorable), and is fond of furries (though the cute, big-eyed, non-sexual variety.) Her room is a mess of her eclectic interests, with piles of Squiddles in one corner and an electric bass in the other. She enjoys old cartoons, loves animals of all kinds, and while she is a crack shot with a rifle (which will be expanded upon later), Jade is also a pacifist. Though it's not always possible, she will always do whatever she can to achieve a nonviolent means to accomplish the goals set out before her.
Jade's adoptive grandfather - and the only real parent she ever knew - was a "world-renowned explorer, naturalist, treasure hunter, archeologist, scientist, adventurer, big game hunter, and billionaire." As such, Jade has never wanted for anything: her home is enormous and filled with ancient artifacts and ridiculous gizmos suggested to have been built by her grandfather in the first place. She rarely has to take the stairs thanks to the transporter that her grandfather put on each floor of the house. I only mention this because Jade has also picked up his knack for science; she is not only an enthusiastic gardener but also has an uncanny talent for nuclear physics and general gadgetry based more on sheer intuition more than any sort of concrete knowledge. I plan on toning this down a little in Adstring, of course, just so that we don't have a thirteen year old nuclear physicist rolling in to Save the Day with Science.
Having grown up on a volcanic island with no one but her dog Becquerel (a "fucking devilbeast" as Dave puts it - Bec is actually the First Guardian of Earth, a dog-shaped creature with the power to warp space, among others) to keep her company after the death of her grandfather when she was a little girl, Jade can sometimes be a little "weird." When she connected as Dave's server player in the game that they were playing (this gave her the ability to manipulate his environment), she decided to do some housecleaning for him and his bro.. and immediately dunked a towel in the toilet and got to work. Ignoring the fact that she then uprooted the toilet and dropped it directly into Dave's bedroom, her social blunders (such as referring to her dead, taxidermied grandfather as if he were still alive) are usually mild and unoffensive.
Her sometimes easily excitable nature is reflected by the way that she types: bold green text!!! peppered with lots of exclamation points and emoticons when appropriate. Computer-based chat has been her main method of communication with her friends and the rest of humanity in general for most of her life. Due to her easygoing and generally pleasant attitude, she tends to get along easily with most people that she meets. She is strongly devoted to her friends, too; at one point, she sacrifices her dream-self (again, this will be expanded upon later) in order to save the life of John's.
This isn't to say that she is constantly chipper and cheerful; Jade can become short and frustrated with people who actively antagonize her (it took her months to forgive Karkat after he spent so long trolling her) or when she is upset (she verbally sniped at Feferi, one of the trolls, when Feferi approached her after a confusing and frightening nightmare). While Jade is arguably the most childish of the group, and certainly the most aggressively friendly one, she shows her serious and no-nonsense side more and more as the game goes on. She picks up the word "fuckass" from Karkat and does not hesitate to roll her eyes and call him out on his bullshit when he's being exasperating.
Jade's stubbornness occasionally presents as a problem for her. It took her months to forgive one of the trolls that antagonized her, despite him needing to talk to her to help her with the game. She also occasionally has issues when it comes to thinking things through; Jade spent most of her life guided by the psychic visions of the past and future that she had while she was asleep. Without those to guide her, she sometimes makes egregious blunders without fully considering what she is about to do, such as resurrecting the long-dead body of her dream self to terrible consequences.
In short, Jade is a clever, brave girl. Though a bit odd, she does not balk at her destiny (if you want to call it that) of being a player in a game that heralds the end of the world. Usually playful and amiable, she is more than capable of getting down to business and making difficult sacrifices when the situation calls for it.
Abilites: In canon, Jade can teleport, has extreme spatial awareness, grow and shrink things to an absurd degree (she carries pocket-sized planets with her!) and power a ship through space at the speed of light without breaking a sweat. On a more mundane note, she's also super knowledgeable re: the maintenance and care of firearms and is a pretty crack shot with a rifle.

Third Person: Are those cans of shaving cream? Jade wondered, puzzled as she stared up at the descending bomb moments before it detonated, and the last thing she remembered was the sound of the explosion ringing in her ears when she woke up with a gasp on the broken concrete of a street in Adstringendum. Her first thought was that she had fallen asleep again, but - no, this was different.
Her skin was still warm from the explosion of the bomb.
"Where am I? Hello?" Jade called out to no one in particular, and when no one answered, whimpered a soft, "Oh, noooo." This wasn't part of the plan. Still a little shaken up, she climbed to her feet (tripping over her dress a little in the process) and turned to survey her surroundings, still trying to process the abrupt change in scenery. Had Jack transported her? That was possible, but -- where had he transported her to? And why had her sylladex dumped everything out onto the ground around her?
It was possible that she'd fallen asleep and began sleepwalking again.. but with the destruction of Prospit and her dreamself, that shouldn't have been possible.
"Okay. Ooookay," Jade muttered to herself, before clapping her hands once. She didn't wince, even as the sound bounced sharply off the walls of the ruined city surrounding her. "Harley, this is no big deal! So maybe you're dead... but you're probably not, so let's just focus on getting out of here! Great. No big deal. Nooo big deal at all."

Characters Name: Jade Harley
Age: 14
Canon: MSPA: Homestuck
Canon Point: December 1st, during the first year on the ship heading toward the new session.
Species: Human.
Gender: Female.
History: Homestuck is very long, very complicated, and very confusing. It is a webcomic that is presented in an adventure game-like format. Many of the concepts are ridiculous, as it swings between ridiculous and very serious, so please bear with me. I'm going to boil Jade's history down as much as I can to make it as simple as possible. I am going to be leaving a lot out; if you need further clarification or expansion, please ask.
"Sburb" is a video game that basically brings about the end of the world. Characters play and, if they are successful, both create a new universe out of their game session and contribute to a war happening on the dream planets that their dream selves inhabit. When players begin this game, they have no idea what is going on; usually, they are clueless as to what they are actually doing other than "playing a game." Players who play the game are usually "fated" to do so and given titles like "witch of life" or "rogue of heart" that reference the special abilities they have and the roles that they will play as they level up within the game. Players also have "dream selves" on the warring dream planets Derse and Prospit.
Jade is unusual in that, for a very long time, when she went to sleep in the "real" world, she would awake in her tower on Prospit's moon. Prospit and Derse orbit another planet called Skaia, which acts as the battlefield between Derse and Prospit. People are able to see visions of the past, present, and future in the clouds of Skaia -- for a long time, Jade seemed to have precognitive or downright psychic abilities because of the visions she would see and the knowledge of future events that she would often glean from these clouds. While her friends also had sleeping selves on the moons of Derse and Prospit, they were unaware of it.
That being said, Jade was raised by her adoptive grandfather (her ectobiological father, but that is a long, long, long story) on a remote, volcanic island until he died when she was very young. Afterwards, she was raised by her guardian and dog slash best friend Becquerel, who was as devoted to her as she was to him. Also while very young, she received a birthday present sent to herself from the future (using a stable time loop) that made very little sense to her then, but helped to lead her to befriend her best pals online: two guys and a girl named John, Dave, and Rose.
Shortly after installing and beginning to play Sburb on John's 13th birthday, meteors began to hit and destroy the Earth. As part of the game, the kids would have to prototype their "kernelsprites," which are beings that act as guides and companions through the game. The kernelsprite would take the properties of whatever it was prototyped with (for example, John prototyped his kernelsprite with his dead Nanna's ashes, and it became Nannasprite -- basically, a ghostly grandmother guide.) The foes in the game also take on characteristics of whatever is prototyped. Through a serious mishap, Jade's kernelsprite was prototyped with her guardian Becquerel, causing the foes in the game to become ridiculously strong.
A being named Jack Noir, an agent of the planet Derse, also takes on the characteristics of whatever is prototyped. When he takes on Becquerel's traits, he becomes impossibly strong -- but he also inherits a strong love and devotion to Jade.
(As a note: when John's dream self woke up, Jade saved his life by sacrificing her own. Her dream self died, though her waking self remained unharmed. Through the use of time travel, her grandfather recovered and stuffed her deceased dream body [as is the family tradition] and put it on display in one of the towers at home when Jade was very young. Seeking guidance from her "dream self," Jade also prototyped this body with her kernelsprite, resulting in a very distressed and very confused Jadesprite who had been dead for years -- and had a lot of problems keeping it together emotionally.)
Time passes, the other characters are more important for a long time, and then Jade finally gets into the game for realsies. She spends a lot of time talking to the trolls, who are aliens from the universe that actually created Earth's. She discovers that it is her role in the game as Witch of Space to "create" the next universe through a complicated frog breeding process. With the help of the trolls Kanaya and Karkat, she does ultimately breed the perfect "genesis" frog in her laboratory at home, but when she goes to the top of her tower with it, she is murdered by an exploding shaving cream bomb at the hands of another Derse agent.
Bec Noir - a villain who loves her because of the fact that her dog had been protoyped with her kernelsprite - carries her to her quest bed after she dies, triggering her transformation to godtier and fully fledged witch of space. She merges with Jadesprite, shanghais a prospit ship, makes it huge, snags John and Davesprite, shrinks the kids' planets, and zooms through the fourth wall at the speed of light, heading to the new session.
Appearance:
Personality: Sweet and energetic, Jade initially gives off an impression of extreme childishness and maybe even naivety: it's evident by her room that part of her, at heart, is an excitable thirteen year old girl. She adores Squiddles (little smiling squid dolls that come complete with built-in magnets so that when brought close enough to each other that they actively hug,), enjoys having tea parties with her Manthro Plushies (darling toy manimal chaps that are probably actively disturbing to anyone who doesn't find them adorable), and is fond of furries (though the cute, big-eyed, non-sexual variety.) Her room is a mess of her eclectic interests, with piles of Squiddles in one corner and an electric bass in the other. She enjoys old cartoons, loves animals of all kinds, and while she is a crack shot with a rifle (which will be expanded upon later), Jade is also a pacifist. Though it's not always possible, she will always do whatever she can to achieve a nonviolent means to accomplish the goals set out before her.
Jade's adoptive grandfather - and the only real parent she ever knew - was a "world-renowned explorer, naturalist, treasure hunter, archeologist, scientist, adventurer, big game hunter, and billionaire." As such, Jade has never wanted for anything: her home is enormous and filled with ancient artifacts and ridiculous gizmos suggested to have been built by her grandfather in the first place. She rarely has to take the stairs thanks to the transporter that her grandfather put on each floor of the house. I only mention this because Jade has also picked up his knack for science; she is not only an enthusiastic gardener but also has an uncanny talent for nuclear physics and general gadgetry based more on sheer intuition more than any sort of concrete knowledge. I plan on toning this down a little in Adstring, of course, just so that we don't have a thirteen year old nuclear physicist rolling in to Save the Day with Science.
Having grown up on a volcanic island with no one but her dog Becquerel (a "fucking devilbeast" as Dave puts it - Bec is actually the First Guardian of Earth, a dog-shaped creature with the power to warp space, among others) to keep her company after the death of her grandfather when she was a little girl, Jade can sometimes be a little "weird." When she connected as Dave's server player in the game that they were playing (this gave her the ability to manipulate his environment), she decided to do some housecleaning for him and his bro.. and immediately dunked a towel in the toilet and got to work. Ignoring the fact that she then uprooted the toilet and dropped it directly into Dave's bedroom, her social blunders (such as referring to her dead, taxidermied grandfather as if he were still alive) are usually mild and unoffensive.
Her sometimes easily excitable nature is reflected by the way that she types: bold green text!!! peppered with lots of exclamation points and emoticons when appropriate. Computer-based chat has been her main method of communication with her friends and the rest of humanity in general for most of her life. Due to her easygoing and generally pleasant attitude, she tends to get along easily with most people that she meets. She is strongly devoted to her friends, too; at one point, she sacrifices her dream-self (again, this will be expanded upon later) in order to save the life of John's.
This isn't to say that she is constantly chipper and cheerful; Jade can become short and frustrated with people who actively antagonize her (it took her months to forgive Karkat after he spent so long trolling her) or when she is upset (she verbally sniped at Feferi, one of the trolls, when Feferi approached her after a confusing and frightening nightmare). While Jade is arguably the most childish of the group, and certainly the most aggressively friendly one, she shows her serious and no-nonsense side more and more as the game goes on. She picks up the word "fuckass" from Karkat and does not hesitate to roll her eyes and call him out on his bullshit when he's being exasperating.

Characters Name: Kyoya Ootori
Age: 17
Canon: Ouran High School Host Club
Canon Point: Post Chapter 56 of the manga (end of the France arc)
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: Never made clear in canon. He does charm the ladies while on Host Club duty but outside of that he never really shows any particular interest in either direction (and Word of God suggests he'd marry for status before love) so it wouldn't matter too much to him who he was placed with once he reached adulthood - he'd care more about who they are and what benefit/hindrance to him they're likely to be than whether they're male or female.
History: Kyoya was born on November 22nd, youngest child and third son to the esteemed Ohtori family. Growing up, he was raised to understand that if he wanted any chance at all of taking over as family patriarch, he would have his work cut out for him to overtake his two older brothers. He considered himself trapped, restricted to painting within a frame already defined and bound by the limitations that came simply from being born third.
As a result of this, he strove for the utmost perfection in all he did. He consistently came top of his class from at least middle school and was nominated class representative. But it wasn't enough; his achievements merely echoed those of his brothers who were more favourable successors in their father's eyes. Rather than accepting this and relaxing, he went to the opposite extreme and shut his emotions away, determined to do whatever it took to earn his father's approval.
He was also raised to believe that social relationships served but one purpose and that was to further his own gain. He thus didn't have friends, merely those who were worth being polite to based on their families and those who simply weren't worth his time or effort. He saw his classmates as opportunities waiting to happen; he agreed to visit one classmate's villa not because the idea of stargazing with them appealed but because the classmate's father would be there and Kyoya was keen to meet him.
Initially, Tamaki Suoh was destined to be just one other mere tool. Tamaki had transferred to Ouran middle school for his third year and Kyoya was under strict instruction from his father to get close to the Suoh son. A quick background check showed that Tamaki was in fact an illegitimate child who was still all but guaranteed to take over the Suoh patriarchy when the time came - at the time, Kyoya was unaware of the deeper issues within that family. However, when he met Tamaki he was in for a surprise - not only was Tamaki an apparent idiot, especially in Japanese culture, but he immediately declared Kyoya his best friend after just two days.
Even so, Kyoya persevered. He agreed to show Tamaki the various sights of Japan but became irritated by the sheer idiocy on display as well as the seemingly casual brush-off when he approached Tamaki for another trip, only for Tamaki to berate him for not studying for finals. The last straw, which would also come to be their moment of bonding, was when Tamaki showed up unannounced to Kyoya's home. When discussing their respective estates, Tamaki let slip that he was by no means guaranteed to take over his family's business and that he in fact wasn't that bothered. Kyoya snapped and accused him of giving up; Tamaki shot back that it was Kyoya who had already given up thus making him the first person to see through the façade Kyoya presented to the world while being comparatively difficult for Kyoya to figure out. Kyoya's sister noted that Tamaki was the first person (or otherwise) to bring out Kyoya's passionate side and indeed, his rare expressions of strong emotion seem to centre around Tamaki.
Nevertheless, the two became close friends and Tamaki approached Kyoya with the idea of them starting the Host Club together. Kyoya agreed and became the club's Vice-President, while Tamaki dealt with recruiting other Hosts. And so, Kyoya's time at Ouran High School began with him already having something other than school to focus on - something within which he could begin honing his business nous, without the same pressures that came of having to match his brothers in everything else.
For a year, the club ran smoothly, gaining popularity and influence - and of course, Kyoya remaining top of his class when it came to schoolwork. At the start of his second year, and with the Hitachiin twins now at high school too, it seemed that would continue - until one Haruhi Fujioka came into their lives. A scholarship student in her first year, Haruhi stumbled across the Host Club while looking for a place to study and, in the ensuing confusion, managed to break a very valuable vase. Indebted to the club, Haruhi was taken on originally as dogsbody but was then inducted as a Host when the others recognised the potential lurking beneath her initially scruffy appearance, taking advantage of the androgyny that had seen them mistake her as male and telling her that if she reached a certain quota of requests, her debt would be considered cleared.
The rest can best be summarised via this chapter guide; Kyoya will be arriving at Holly Heights just after his return from France.
Appearance: Kyoya stands at 5'11" and has a slim figure. He has black hair, which is relatively short (although the front tendrils fall just long enough to cover the top of his eyes) and usually well-kempt. His eyes are dark brown and almost always framed by prescription glasses. These are relatively unremarkable ignoring their apparent tendency to reflect light really well, providing an ample shield to his eyes and thus his true expression much of the time. The effect, as you might expect, can be somewhat intimidating to say the least.
In terms of dress, Kyoya tends towards a more groomed and almost formal approach even when not on duty for the Host Club, although not in a manner you would expect for the typical intellect.
Personality: Kyoya is a shrewd, ambitious individual who will go to any lengths to get what he wants, not afraid of either hard work or morally dubious acts if it will further his position. He is highly intelligent, always top of his class and the "shadow king" of the club - despite Tamaki being nominally in charge, it is Kyoya's word that can see the others change from being set against one of Tamaki's schemes to being fully on board. He is also often referred to as the club's "mother", mostly by Tamaki who sees himself as the patriarch, both because of his role as vice-president and, likely, because he takes care of all the "boring" practicalities that come with running a club like theirs.
Within the club, he is marketed as the "cool type" due to his detached demeanour. His approach with the club's visitors seems to centre around making as much from them as possible and, as such, he almost always has something to sell to them (which the girls readily buy into). He also seems to be the one who maintains the club's auction site where he sells off the others' discarded items. The state of the club's bank balance is his top priority, to the point where he actually enjoyed the three days Honey was unable to eat sweets (which led the rest of the club to abstain along with him) because it allowed them to spend less. Indeed, his primary motivator is gain - he will only engage in something that will benefit him and won't expend effort where victory would be unwelcome. For example, when the others are competing to stay in the same bed and breakfast that Haruhi is working in, he removes himself from the battle simply because the thought of staying there alone doesn't appeal to him, especially with the alternative of his family's cottage.
Kyoya is a schemer through and through and always has his own agenda at hand. He tends to be at least three steps ahead of everyone and at least twelve in front of Tamaki, and will do whatever it takes to protect the club whether that be calling time on a filming session he originally green-lighted (by smashing up the camera, no less; of course, he then salvaged the film and edited it to be salesworthy) or by gathering information on the Newspaper club's schemes by leaving a recording device in their office. It can be said that he approves only what he knows he can be in control of which perhaps explains why the others trust him so readily even when his decisions appear questionable.
Part of this is because he at least appears to know far more of any given person or situation than anyone else. He is a shrewd observer; moreover he understands the power of getting the right people on-side. A classic example of this is with Haruhi's father - unbeknownst to the other members, including Haruhi herself, Kyoya provides Ranka with regular updates on his daughter's welfare within the club. He notes that this role would normally fall to the president (i.e. Tamaki); whether such a responsibility even actually exists or whether this was just a means to further needle Tamaki (and endear himself to Ranka) is questionable. Either way, this allows him to know far more of Haruhi than she tells him, to the point where when she goes "missing" he is the one who knows where she has gone and why.
One thing to note about Kyoya is that he is most definitely not a morning person. This is likely because he tends to be awake long into the early hours but whatever the cause, waking him before he is ready to be awake tends to put him in a vile mood which makes him harsh and impatient towards others to the point where young children are actually afraid of him. A key example of this is when Tamaki and the others drag him to an expo while he is still asleep and then leave him and wander off. Haruhi finds him and is thus given a crash course in just what Kyoya in a bad mood is really like. Although, in fitting with his cool if not cold demeanour, he has a quiet temper - even when he's calling the others morons he does it in a controlled manner. Naturally, this just makes him seem even more intimidating.
Indeed, all of his emotions are controlled to a far tighter degree than anyone else's - when the others are freaking out over something, his expression remains as impassive as ever. Even during the ocean episode, where Kyoya's worry over Haruhi confronting the bullies alone manifests in an apparent attempt to rape her, his actions are cold and calculating. He was likely aware all along that Haruhi would call him on his actions and understand his intent in demonstrating the inherent power he could wield over her simply by virtue of his gender (it's worth noting that, though tall, he is the least "physical" of the entire group). He was also likely aware that Tamaki would find them and that his actions would be the catalyst towards Tamaki and Haruhi making amends (though not necessarily about her fear of thunderstorms).
Ultimately, Kyoya is not as cold-hearted as he likes to make himself out to be or as the other club members accuse him of being at times. Haruhi notes, during their time together at the Expo, that his assistance in calling out a seller of fake pottery had nothing to do with who the potential customer was (which is what he claimed) and everything to do with the fact that, just like Tamaki, being nice appears to come naturally to him. Indeed, while he insists that he is nothing like Tamaki, there are definite similarities and, while not as tightly-knit as the twins or as Honey and Mori, they form a natural duo who balance each other's weaknesses - Tamaki brings out the side of Kyoya that has capacity to care for others as more than just tools and who can help others simply for the satisfaction of having done so, and Kyoya keeps Tamaki in check enough that the club doesn't fall apart completely.
Abilites: Kyoya has no magical or unusual powers or abilities. He does, however, have a very shrewd mind and is a skilled manipulator when he wants to be. Though he uses this skill less to bend people to his will and more to manipulate situations for maximum gain. That isn't to say he won't use or manipulate people, only that he will only do so if it is the best way to get what he wants.
He is also highly skilled in business matters, particularly finance and accounting. Having to keep up with the financial repercussions of the Host Club and their elaborate events has left him more than adept at balancing the books and ensuring their spending does not outpace income.
Other: Kyoya's blood type is AB and it definitely shows.

First Person: An interesting turn of events, I must say. I'm not certain this paperwork could be considered legally binding in any civilized society but then I suppose I stopped expecting civilised around about the point where I realised I had been kidnapped to fulfil one man's apparent God complex. And here I thought I would never meet a more narcissistic individual than Tamaki Suoh.
[Though his expression has remained neutral throughout, there's a hint of a smirk curling the corners of his lips now]
Which brings me rather neatly to my next order of business: Host Club members, I expect you to check in at your earliest convenience. Yes, Haruhi, this means you too. Don't think I don't know you're here - I've checked the contact list and your names are quite clearly on there. I want full details of where you are and with whom you are living, and if there is anything else you think I need to know that I wouldn't have gleaned from the paperwork and the network archives, I would appreciate that too. Emphasis, there, on the need to know.

Kyoya's sister noted that Tamaki was the first person (or otherwise) to bring out Kyoya's passionate side and indeed, his rare expressions of strong emotion seem to centre around Tamaki.
Nevertheless, the two became close friends and Tamaki approached Kyoya with the idea of them starting the Host Club together. Kyoya agreed and became the club's Vice-President, while Tamaki dealt with recruiting other Hosts. And so, Kyoya's time at Ouran High School began with him already having something other than school to focus on - something within which he could begin honing his business nous, without the same pressures that came of having to match his brothers in everything else.
For a year, the club ran smoothly, gaining popularity and influence - and of course, Kyoya remaining top of his class when it came to schoolwork. At the start of his second year, and with the Hitachiin twins now at high school too, it seemed that would continue - until one Haruhi Fujioka came into their lives. A scholarship student in her first year, Haruhi stumbled across the Host Club while looking for a place to study and, in the ensuing confusion, managed to break a very valuable vase. Indebted to the club, Haruhi was taken on originally as dogsbody but was then inducted as a Host when the others recognised the potential lurking beneath her initially scruffy appearance, taking advantage of the androgyny that had seen them mistake her as male and telling her that if she reached a certain quota of requests, her debt would be considered cleared.
The rest can best be summarised via this chapter guide; Kyoya will be arriving at Holly Heights just after his return from France.
Appearance: Kyoya stands at 5'11" and has a slim figure. He has black hair, which is relatively short (although the front tendrils fall just long enough to cover the top of his eyes) and usually well-kempt. His eyes are dark brown and almost always framed by prescription glasses. These are relatively unremarkable ignoring their apparent tendency to reflect light really well, providing an ample shield to his eyes and thus his true expression much of the time. The effect, as you might expect, can be somewhat intimidating to say the least.
In terms of dress, Kyoya tends towards a more groomed and almost formal approach even when not on duty for the Host Club, although not in a manner you would expect for the typical intellect.
Personality: Kyoya is a shrewd, ambitious individual who will go to any lengths to get what he wants, not afraid of either hard work or morally dubious acts if it will further his position. He is highly intelligent, always top of his class and the "shadow king" of the club - despite Tamaki being nominally in charge, it is Kyoya's word that can see the others change from being set against one of Tamaki's schemes to being fully on board. He is also often referred to as the club's "mother", mostly by Tamaki who sees himself as the patriarch, both because of his role as vice-president and, likely, because he takes care of all the "boring" practicalities that come with running a club like theirs.
Within the club, he is marketed as the "cool type" due to his detached demeanour. His approach with the club's visitors seems to centre around making as much from them as possible and, as such, he almost always has something to sell to them (which the girls readily buy into). He also seems to be the one who maintains the club's auction site where he sells off the others' discarded items. The state of the club's bank balance is his top priority, to the point where he actually enjoyed the three days Honey was unable to eat sweets (which led the rest of the club to abstain along with him) because it allowed them to spend less. Indeed, his primary motivator is gain - he will only engage in something that will benefit him and won't expend effort where victory would be unwelcome. For example, when the others are competing to stay in the same bed and breakfast that Haruhi is working in, he removes himself from the battle simply because the thought of staying there alone doesn't appeal to him, especially with the alternative of his family's cottage.
Kyoya is a schemer through and through and always has his own agenda at hand. He tends to be at least three steps ahead of everyone and at least twelve in front of Tamaki, and will do whatever it takes to protect the club whether that be calling time on a filming session he originally green-lighted (by smashing up the camera, no less; of course, he then salvaged the film and edited it to be salesworthy) or by gathering information on the Newspaper club's schemes by leaving a recording device in their office. It can be said that he approves only what he knows he can be in control of which perhaps explains why the others trust him so readily even when his decisions appear questionable.
Part of this is because he at least appears to know far more of any given person or situation than anyone else. He is a shrewd observer; moreover he understands the power of getting the right people on-side. A classic example of this is with Haruhi's father - unbeknownst to the other members, including Haruhi herself, Kyoya provides Ranka with regular updates on his daughter's welfare within the club. He notes that this role would normally fall to the president (i.e. Tamaki); whether such a responsibility even actually exists or whether this was just a means to further needle Tamaki (and endear himself to Ranka) is questionable. Either way, this allows him to know far more of Haruhi than she tells him, to the point where when she goes "missing" he is the one who knows where she has gone and why.
One thing to note about Kyoya is that he is most definitely not a morning person. This is likely because he tends to be awake long into the early hours but whatever the cause, waking him before he is ready to be awake tends to put him in a vile mood which makes him harsh and impatient towards others to the point where young children are actually afraid of him. A key example of this is when Tamaki and the others drag him to an expo while he is still asleep and then leave him and wander off. Haruhi finds him and is thus given a crash course in just what Kyoya in a bad mood is really like. Although, in fitting with his cool if not cold demeanour, he has a quiet temper - even when he's calling the others morons he does it in a controlled manner. Naturally, this just makes him seem even more intimidating.
Indeed, all of his emotions are controlled to a far tighter degree than anyone else's - when the others are freaking out over something, his expression remains as impassive as ever. Even during the ocean episode, where Kyoya's worry over Haruhi confronting the bullies alone manifests in an apparent attempt to rape her, his actions are cold and calculating. He was likely aware all along that Haruhi would call him on his actions and understand his intent in demonstrating the inherent power he could wield over her simply by virtue of his gender (it's worth noting that, though tall, he is the least "physical" of the entire group). He was also likely aware that Tamaki would find them and that his actions would be the catalyst towards Tamaki and Haruhi making amends (though not necessarily about her fear of thunderstorms).
Ultimately, Kyoya is not as cold-hearted as he likes to make himself out to be or as the other club members accuse him of being at times. Haruhi notes, during their time together at the Expo, that his assistance in calling out a seller of fake pottery had nothing to do with who the potential customer was (which is what he claimed) and everything to do with the fact that, just like Tamaki, being nice appears to come naturally to him. Indeed, while he insists that he is nothing like Tamaki, there are definite similarities and, while not as tightly-knit as the twins or as Honey and Mori, they form a natural duo who balance each other's weaknesses - Tamaki brings out the side of Kyoya that has capacity to care for others as more than just tools and who can help others simply for the satisfaction of having done so, and Kyoya keeps Tamaki in check enough that the club doesn't fall apart completely.
Abilites: Kyoya has no magical or unusual powers or abilities. He does, however, have a very shrewd mind and is a skilled manipulator when he wants to be. Though he uses this skill less to bend people to his will and more to manipulate situations for maximum gain. That isn't to say he won't use or manipulate people, only that he will only do so if it is the best way to get what he wants.
He is also highly skilled in business matters, particularly finance and accounting. Having to keep up with the financial repercussions of the Host Club and their elaborate events has left him more than adept at balancing the books and ensuring their spending does not outpace income.
Other: Kyoya's blood type is AB and it definitely shows.

First Person: An interesting turn of events, I must say. I'm not certain this paperwork could be considered legally binding in any civilized society but then I suppose I stopped expecting civilised around about the point where I realised I had been kidnapped to fulfil one man's apparent God complex. And here I thought I would never meet a more narcissistic individual than Tamaki Suoh.
[Though his expression has remained neutral throughout, there's a hint of a smirk curling the corners of his lips now]
Which brings me rather neatly to my next order of business: Host Club members, I expect you to check in at your earliest convenience. Yes, Haruhi, this means you too. Don't think I don't know you're here - I've checked the contact list and your names are quite clearly on there. I want full details of where you are and with whom you are living, and if there is anything else you think I need to know that I wouldn't have gleaned from the paperwork and the network archives, I would appreciate that too. Emphasis, there, on the need to know.

Characters Name: Akiho Senomiya
Age: 18
Canon: Robotics;notes
Canon Point: Ep 8
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Akiho leans more to liking her childhood friend Kaito in more than a friend way. So her orientation is heterosexual since the only canon romance she has is with Kaito.
History: wiki page
Appearance: xxx
Personality:
Akiho in a nut shell is a hyper active girl who only wishes to reach her dreams. Since she was a child she has always loved robots and mecha. She wanted to be a defender of justice and overall she wanted to keep not only her dream alive but her older sister’s. Which was to build a giant robot in the shape of the mascot for the anime she used to watch, GunBuild1 which is based off Gunvarrel. Even though her older sister gave up and stopped working on it after she graduated from high school, the robotics club as a whole hasn’t. Though the only one to really jump start the project again was Akiho, who is really the only one actively trying to build it now even though she roped her friend Kaito in to joining the robotics club since enough though she was the president there were no members, he really doesn’t want to help her out. Even after she protests and complains about him not giving it his all.
Akiho had always looked up to her older sister Misaki, who got her interested in robots, space travel and rockets. Their father works for the Space center on the island they live on, meaning she had been around the idea of robotics and science for most of her life. Though the idea of building a giant robot is going against the ideas of reality Akiho and Misaki’s plans and ideas are rooted in real life and practical designs. No matter how many times people tell Akiho that the designs her sister made are impractical and will never work she defends them, saying she was the founder of the robotics club and her designs will work. No matter what she will defend the ideas of her older sister since she laid the groundwork for everything.
When it comes to reaching goals and dreams Akiho is full speed ahead. She’s very passionate about her dream, which is building the GunBuild1. She tries to get sponsorships and she and Kaito even enter the hobby robo tournament in order to save the robotics club. Akiho spend hours which turned in to days of her time fixing up the hobby robo the club had to the point of triggering her spasms from the case of Elephant mouse syndrome she suffers from. Which makes it so 10 mins flash by in 1 second from her perspective; it leaves her in a helpless state. Akiho can’t stand when someone’s dreams have been crushed. When Suburu’s father tries to smash his hobby robo in front of the club she rushes over and grabs his father trying to get him to stop. Since all of Suburu’s hopes and dreams are in that robot, she doesn’t want to see them destroyed by anyone.
There is also the relationship she has with Kaito. They have been friends since childhood and he is the only one she can depend on due to the event that happened to both of them causing them to suffer from Elephant mouse syndrome. While Akiho sees time faster and cannot function, Kaito sees time almost stop and is able to function. He is the only one that understands how Akiho is during the spasms. Even though Kaito tells her not to overdo anything she does whatever she can in order to keep the robotics club going. Over all Akiho gives everything her all and just wants to reach her dreams and see it turn in to reality. She values the goals everyone sets out for themselves and she respects her older sister and wishes to finish what she started.
Abilites:
Akiho has a sickness called Elephant-mouse syndrome, if she overworks herself or has an emotion trigger her body starts to spasm out and she sees time move differently. While 10 mins pass she sees it move by at a very fast speed which for her lasts 1 second.

First Person:
[ There’s a bunch of open magazines and other books related to mecha anime and robots spread across the floor. Clearly someone has been doing a little bit of research. ]
I know it’s a little weird to be considered an adult here even though I wasn’t even finished with high school but, is there any clubs or groups here that deal with robots?
Building them, talking about it anything will do really! I don’t want to give up now just because I’m not at home.
[ Akiho quickly makes one of her hands in to fists and does what looks like a fake super move from a show. ]
STOPPING NOW MEANS GIVING UP, AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.
Third Person:
It had already been a few days since Akiho had ended up in town, she had adjusted fairly quickly to the new house but the whole parent business was still a bit freighting. She might be 18 but she was far from being an adult. There was still the fact she was a high school student back home and the robotics club was without a leader which worried her even more. They wouldn’t be able to get to the expo at this rate since no one else would be able to start work on the robot. Relaying on Kai wasn’t the best idea either, even though he would do something after nudging him in the right direction it was still a long shot if she wasn’t there in person to get him to do something.
“I really can’t give up now; I need to figure out what I can do from here.”

Characters Name: Yuki Nagato.
Age: She's about 17 physically.
Canon: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Canon Point: After The Astonishment of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Species: Appears human, is a humanoid interface.
Gender: Female.
Orientation: Heterosexual, mostly due to her behavior around Kyon in the Disappearance Arc.
History:
To avoid massive spoilers, I'll attempt to remain succinct without giving away a bunch about her. Very little is known about Yuki Nagato, but she claims to have been created three years prior to meeting Haruhi Suzumiya and Kyon. She claims her purpose is to observe humans in order to evolve in intelligence. She registers as a student at North High and is originally the only student in the Literature Club. This is when she comes in contact with both Haruhi and Kyon, as Haruhi uses the empty Literature Club for the SOS Brigade. Soon later, she reveals the fact that she is a humanoid interface (an alien) to Kyon, which allows him to slowly understand the world around her.
Because she can manipulate time, often many things happen without other people noticing, unless they are involved too - as everything is done so that Haruhi doesn't notice or create a new world with her abilities. During the Disappearance Arc, Yuki "borrows" some of Haruhi's powers in order to create a new world where she is a human and the SOS Brigade does not exist. She attributes this to multiple errors, but during the Arc, she interacts with Kyon, whom she seems to be fond of - suggesting that the real Yuki (who is a humanoid interface) is fond of Kyon, but is incapable of showing it due to her difficulty showing emotions. Through Kyon's help, he returns the world back to normal, where she once again, is a humanoid interface.
Mostly, Yuki exists to observe Haruhi and to make sure she does not create another world due to her boredom; thus putting up with the many antics that come along with the SOS Brigade. She seems to place little trust within anyone except Kyon, whom she confides in for many of her decisions.
The rest of her history can be viewed here, but there are extreme spoilers.
Appearance:
She has a rather petite, slim appearance that can occasionally make her seem younger than what she is when compared to her peers. Her skin is a porcelain pale, akin to that of a stationary doll. Yuki's face is slim and her purple, jagged tresses wrap around her face. Her tresses are jagged and sharp, somewhat sticking up in the back. Chunks of hair cover her forehead and parts of her eyebrows, but don't fall past her eyelids. A rather flat figure, she has very little "curves" and is somewhat androgynous looking in her appearance; if she did not wear her school uniform (which comprises of a skirt), she could be mistaken for a boy.
She rarely ever changes out of her school uniform, which is a white and sky blue sailor fuku. Often, she wears a dark purple/brown sweater over top of her uniform, though this is only done during the winter season at school. Her blue skirt makes it past her upper thigh and she wears navy blue knee-high socks and a pair of brown loafers, which are her school shoes. Although Yuki owns many other outfits, she doesn't put them on unless instructed to or there is a special occasion, such as when she went on a vacation, where she put on casual clothing.
Her accessories include books, as she often has a book in her hand. Her eyes are a golden brown that used to be obscured by a pair of thin glasses - but once Kyon told her she looked better without them, she transformed her glasses into another object and hasn't worn them since.
Personality:
Attempting to define Yuki's personality is attempt to describe what water tastes like - it's difficult. Because she is a humanoid interface, she has a difficult time expressing her emotions - similar to the other ones shown (Ryoko Asakura and Kuyou Suou). She originally viewed emotions as "errors". Being designed with very limited capabilities social-wise, she often appears as shy. She's timid and quiet around other people, to the point where it can appear that Yuki is ignoring them. Instead of responding to people, she typically nods or points in order to get her message across. Rarely does she speak and it's typically very succinct. However, there have been rare moments where she does speak full sentences, but only when she explains things. Yuki has a habit of explaining very simple things in a complex manner using a plethora of scientific jargon, as that's the only way that she knows how to explain herself.
However, as she grows familiar to someone, she becomes more and more responsive; a trait that is assumed she was developed with in order to better blend in with humans as she observes them. Originally, it was thought she had no emotions, but it's been proven that she does in fact have them, but chooses not to showcase them or reveal them. At times, she's been angry such as when she was in contact with Kuyou, but did not show it - instead only speaking to her. She's occasionally glared at Haruhi when Haruhi threatened to remove books from the Literature Club, showing that she can react when she's personally attached to something (or someone). Due to this, she has another humanoid interface watching over her; Emiri Kimidori, who she has a neutral relationship with.
With a monotone voice and blank facial expressions that rarely alter, many people choose not to interact with Yuki Nagato. When it comes down to her emotions, she has a very difficult time understanding her own and dealing with them; the concept of emotions is unfamiliar with her and thus, she shows difficulties in grasping her own emotions. This can be seen when people comment on her affinity for books, she claims sheh as a "relative" interest in books, when in fact Yuki can be described as an extreme bibliophile. When a male student at North High pretended to confess to her, she said she was only a little disappointed that his intentions were not true; however, the way she acted suggested that this disappointment was more than small. This also showcases that Yuki does have interest in relationships, whether platonic or romantic - but this can be argued as a way for her to further study humans and to see how Haruhi responds.
She seems to care about those who she trusts and is close with, such as Kyon as she reminds Kyon not to worry about her. Yuki mostly acts in whatever way will please Haruhi, in order to further observe her. In the end, Yuki's personality is abstract, but as she involves herself more and more with humans, she seems to pick up on their behavior.
Abilites:
Being a humanoid interface, Yuki has a plethora of powers that she has to conceal in order to make sure she maintains her facade as an average human student.
She has showed to be immune to pain and have other superhuman capabilities as super speed, super stamina, and super strength. Even when being impaled by multiple sharp objects by Ryoko Asakura, she does not respond, even when she's bleeding. Her reaction time is also speedy, mostly due to her keen and observant nature. Along with those things, she showcases other minor abilities such as not being affected by alcohol, holding her breath for a long time, rarely blinking, and not getting sick via human infections. If Yuki is sick, it's a severe attack on her system and not an infection she picked up from a human.
She has a plethora of sensory abilities - it is unknown how she senses other people, but she is able to pick up on certain things such as being able to tell someone's body temperature without touching them and if someone is human or not. However, determining things like the latter take time for her to sense and are typically not an immediate reaction.
Mentally, Yuki is abnormally intelligent - just as any other alien would be. She's a fantastic multi-tasker and seems to be able to pick up on how to do certain skills very quickly, but is unable to comprehend things that are extremely human such as how to use a gun or how to draw.
With Data, her powers are the strongest. Most of the time, her powers are enhanced when she's under a realm of "data jurisdiction", which is where the organization that created her has created a space that overlaps "regular space". She can edit her environment and also change chance, basically guaranteeing her a win as long as someone else does not edit it. She can teleport and heal herself, although her healing process (healing her or others from nearly any damage) is very tiring for her and lengthy, something that she cannot do while doing other tasks. Yuki can also directly interact with computers and other forms of technology, even without being around or close to them.
Her abilities do not stop there, as she can also communicate with her organization, the Data Overmind, as others like her can. She does this in order to gain access or ask permission to use certain abilities. She can edit human memories, create barriers that cause people to be invisible, and freeze time for over 3 years - however, she can not travel through time or slide through alternate realities as others can. She can alter the weather and can "steal" abilities from Haruhi, which is what caused her own arc - the Disappearance Arc - to even occur.
Basically, Yuki has an extreme array of powers due to her inhuman nature. Some she uses passively such as editing the environment, hacking computers, or altering reality while others are only used in extreme emergencies or fights such as healing, teleportation, and halting time.
Other: Yuki is very curious to learn more about humans.
To avoid massive spoilers, I'll attempt to remain succinct without giving away a bunch about her. Very little is known about Yuki Nagato, but she claims to have been created three years prior to meeting Haruhi Suzumiya and Kyon. She claims her purpose is to observe humans in order to evolve in intelligence. She registers as a student at North High and is originally the only student in the Literature Club. This is when she comes in contact with both Haruhi and Kyon, as Haruhi uses the empty Literature Club for the SOS Brigade. Soon later, she reveals the fact that she is a humanoid interface (an alien) to Kyon, which allows him to slowly understand the world around her.
Because she can manipulate time, often many things happen without other people noticing, unless they are involved too - as everything is done so that Haruhi doesn't notice or create a new world with her abilities. During the Disappearance Arc, Yuki "borrows" some of Haruhi's powers in order to create a new world where she is a human and the SOS Brigade does not exist. She attributes this to multiple errors, but during the Arc, she interacts with Kyon, whom she seems to be fond of - suggesting that the real Yuki (who is a humanoid interface) is fond of Kyon, but is incapable of showing it due to her difficulty showing emotions. Through Kyon's help, he returns the world back to normal, where she once again, is a humanoid interface.
Mostly, Yuki exists to observe Haruhi and to make sure she does not create another world due to her boredom; thus putting up with the many antics that come along with the SOS Brigade. She seems to place little trust within anyone except Kyon, whom she confides in for many of her decisions.
The rest of her history can be viewed here, but there are extreme spoilers.
Appearance:
She has a rather petite, slim appearance that can occasionally make her seem younger than what she is when compared to her peers. Her skin is a porcelain pale, akin to that of a stationary doll. Yuki's face is slim and her purple, jagged tresses wrap around her face. Her tresses are jagged and sharp, somewhat sticking up in the back. Chunks of hair cover her forehead and parts of her eyebrows, but don't fall past her eyelids. A rather flat figure, she has very little "curves" and is somewhat androgynous looking in her appearance; if she did not wear her school uniform (which comprises of a skirt), she could be mistaken for a boy.
She rarely ever changes out of her school uniform, which is a white and sky blue sailor fuku. Often, she wears a dark purple/brown sweater over top of her uniform, though this is only done during the winter season at school. Her blue skirt makes it past her upper thigh and she wears navy blue knee-high socks and a pair of brown loafers, which are her school shoes. Although Yuki owns many other outfits, she doesn't put them on unless instructed to or there is a special occasion, such as when she went on a vacation, where she put on casual clothing.
Her accessories include books, as she often has a book in her hand. Her eyes are a golden brown that used to be obscured by a pair of thin glasses - but once Kyon told her she looked better without them, she transformed her glasses into another object and hasn't worn them since.
Personality:
Attempting to define Yuki's personality is attempt to describe what water tastes like - it's difficult. Because she is a humanoid interface, she has a difficult time expressing her emotions - similar to the other ones shown (Ryoko Asakura and Kuyou Suou). She originally viewed emotions as "errors". Being designed with very limited capabilities social-wise, she often appears as shy. She's timid and quiet around other people, to the point where it can appear that Yuki is ignoring them. Instead of responding to people, she typically nods or points in order to get her message across. Rarely does she speak and it's typically very succinct. However, there have been rare moments where she does speak full sentences, but only when she explains things. Yuki has a habit of explaining very simple things in a complex manner using a plethora of scientific jargon, as that's the only way that she knows how to explain herself.
However, as she grows familiar to someone, she becomes more and more responsive; a trait that is assumed she was developed with in order to better blend in with humans as she observes them. Originally, it was thought she had no emotions, but it's been proven that she does in fact have them, but chooses not to showcase them or reveal them. At times, she's been angry such as when she was in contact with Kuyou, but did not show it - instead only speaking to her. She's occasionally glared at Haruhi when Haruhi threatened to remove books from the Literature Club, showing that she can react when she's personally attached to something (or someone). Due to this, she has another humanoid interface watching over her; Emiri Kimidori, who she has a neutral relationship with.
With a monotone voice and blank facial expressions that rarely alter, many people choose not to interact with Yuki Nagato. When it comes down to her emotions, she has a very difficult time understanding her own and dealing with them; the concept of emotions is unfamiliar with her and thus, she shows difficulties in grasping her own emotions. This can be seen when people comment on her affinity for books, she claims sheh as a "relative" interest in books, when in fact Yuki can be described as an extreme bibliophile. When a male student at North High pretended to confess to her, she said she was only a little disappointed that his intentions were not true; however, the way she acted suggested that this disappointment was more than small. This also showcases that Yuki does have interest in relationships, whether platonic or romantic - but this can be argued as a way for her to further study humans and to see how Haruhi responds.
She seems to care about those who she trusts and is close with, such as Kyon as she reminds Kyon not to worry about her. Yuki mostly acts in whatever way will please Haruhi, in order to further observe her. In the end, Yuki's personality is abstract, but as she involves herself more and more with humans, she seems to pick up on their behavior.
Abilites:
Being a humanoid interface, Yuki has a plethora of powers that she has to conceal in order to make sure she maintains her facade as an average human student.
She has showed to be immune to pain and have other superhuman capabilities as super speed, super stamina, and super strength. Even when being impaled by multiple sharp objects by Ryoko Asakura, she does not respond, even when she's bleeding. Her reaction time is also speedy, mostly due to her keen and observant nature. Along with those things, she showcases other minor abilities such as not being affected by alcohol, holding her breath for a long time, rarely blinking, and not getting sick via human infections. If Yuki is sick, it's a severe attack on her system and not an infection she picked up from a human.
She has a plethora of sensory abilities - it is unknown how she senses other people, but she is able to pick up on certain things such as being able to tell someone's body temperature without touching them and if someone is human or not. However, determining things like the latter take time for her to sense and are typically not an immediate reaction.
Mentally, Yuki is abnormally intelligent - just as any other alien would be. She's a fantastic multi-tasker and seems to be able to pick up on how to do certain skills very quickly, but is unable to comprehend things that are extremely human such as how to use a gun or how to draw.
With Data, her powers are the strongest. Most of the time, her powers are enhanced when she's under a realm of "data jurisdiction", which is where the organization that created her has created a space that overlaps "regular space". She can edit her environment and also change chance, basically guaranteeing her a win as long as someone else does not edit it. She can teleport and heal herself, although her healing process (healing her or others from nearly any damage) is very tiring for her and lengthy, something that she cannot do while doing other tasks. Yuki can also directly interact with computers and other forms of technology, even without being around or close to them.
Her abilities do not stop there, as she can also communicate with her organization, the Data Overmind, as others like her can. She does this in order to gain access or ask permission to use certain abilities. She can edit human memories, create barriers that cause people to be invisible, and freeze time for over 3 years - however, she can not travel through time or slide through alternate realities as others can. She can alter the weather and can "steal" abilities from Haruhi, which is what caused her own arc - the Disappearance Arc - to even occur.
Basically, Yuki has an extreme array of powers due to her inhuman nature. Some she uses passively such as editing the environment, hacking computers, or altering reality while others are only used in extreme emergencies or fights such as healing, teleportation, and halting time.
Other: Yuki is very curious to learn more about humans.

I'll be pegging him bisexual, but predominantly homosexual due to… hilarious naked scenes in the manga with Sasuke that are… painfully canon…
History: Plot | Character.
Appearance: Link.
Personality:
Suigetsu can readily be described as a handful. Easy to talk to, but extremely difficult to deal with, he has always given the impression of someone with a one-track mind, ignorant of most other issues around him in favour of his own goals. An ambitious soul, he focuses on and has his life revolving around the fact that he will rule absolutely over the infamous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a team of elites from the country he hails from. He has vowed long ago that he would collect the seven swords and lead this group, restoring it to its former glory.
Passion for the art drives him - he can prattle on for extended periods of time about exotic swords and the team he intends to take under his wing, as seen when he's talking to Karin, Juugo and Uchiha Sasuke, his teammates. It has been shown to be quite dangerous to insult his passion as he becomes irritated in an episode when Karin decides to mock it. Sasuke has to tell him to ignore it for him to calm down. He tells the stories about the swords with vigour, the only thing that seems to interest him, as seen when he's explaining the seven swords to his comrade Juugo; anything he doesn't care about is ignored or brushed off casually.
Indifference has a large bearing on everything he does. Suigetsu has been demonstrated as someone who is desensitized to the woes of those around him and is ever shown to be lazy and rather lethargic - though this is, in part, to the heavy sword he carried around and the condition of his body - frequently stating, "Aren't you guys tired? Let's take a break." Seeing death doesn't affect him and he deals with problems with a startling nonchalance. In their search for Juugo, Suigetsu witnesses someone die in Karin's arms and stares down at the body with only an, "Oh, he died." He doesn't care about much; this includes killing and his tendency to strut around nude as though he's fully clothed… as this does happen a lot in the manga and anime.
Even dealing with his own team, he has been shown to be particularly apathetic, especially when it comes to their feelings. This is obvious each time he purposely foils Karin's plans to be romantically involved with Sasuke. He brushes off her apparent love for the man and even goes as far as to say that one of his favourite things - his second favourite, to be exact, as he tells Juugo in the manga - is to mess with Karin and make her as miserable as possible.
He's rather mischievous in this regard; he teases Karin about Sasuke constantly and even pokes fun at Sasuke and Juugo about their curse seals making them ugly. "Who would have thought the cursed seal deforms people that much? Sasuke, do you get that ugly, too?" He has also joked around to put others to the test, as seen when he's first introduced. He threatens Sasuke right after the Uchiha saves him from Orochimaru's lair and then backs off with a cheery, "Just kidding!" This chipper attitude is a plus side to Suigetsu and despite the fact that he has an evil underbelly, on the surface he seems to be a very happy-go-lucky person unfazed by the world around him. He's always shown with a smile and has been since he was a child - as stated by Hoshigake Kisame, a swordsman Suigetsu is pursuing.
He deals with things that are odd with jokes, almost childishly, and he has a bit of a crude, blatant humour regarding things other people might find disgusting. This is seen in the manga when Suigetsu comments on the deformity of Yakushi Kabuto with a "Is this Kabuto? Kinda gross. This thing coming out of his belly looks just like a huge-" and had to be cut off by Sasuke before he could finish.
His relationships with others are seemingly nonexistent; the only people he seems to care for are his teammates Karin, Juugo and Sasuke. His flaws don't seem to count when he's dealing with his three comrades. Instead of indifference, he is loyal to a fault and has risked his life several times for the benefit of the group; the fight with the eight-tailed Jinchuuriki, Killer Bee, is a fine example, as he lets his team run away while he tries to hold the enemy back. This doesn't put a damper on his merciless nature, however.
Suigetsu is said to play with his victims by cutting off their limbs before beheading them, as stated by Kisame who declares him a demon and a prodigy of murder. He also still readily disobeys Sasuke several times, going against the leader's orders to spare everyone they can from death. He justifies this for himself with a "He'll forgive me" and "one won't hurt". It shows he does care what the Uchiha thinks about him. The things other people tell him don't resonate as well as they do when Sasuke tells them.
He has developed a kind of possessive nature over Sasuke, protective and possessive. He demonstrates this aggressively, an example being when he yells at Juugo for interrupting him when he's speaking with their leader, "Don't get in the way when I'm talking with Sasuke!"
Abilites:
- Able to change to liquify and solidify at will to and from the consistency of water (hydration technique).
- Can enlarge limbs and increase his strength in that limb considerably (water release: great water arm technique).
- Can use detached parts of his body to surround an opponent with a bubble of water (drowning water blob technique).
- When merging with bodies of water, he can shape the mass into the form of a demon-like fish (water release: demon fish technique).
- Shaping a finger-gun with his hand, he can fire a droplet of water from his finger at high speed (water release: water gun technique).
- Also adept with kenjutsu and taijutsu, demonstrating excellent swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat, respectively.
*downsides to the manipulation of his body's natural make-up are constant dehydration and lethargy.
*has a pesky tendency to take on a jelly-like blob form when rendered unconscious.
*debilitating weakness against all lightning attacks.

Characters Name: Yuki Kuran
Age: Eighteen
Canon: Vampire Knight
Canon Point: Chapter 81; moments after being killed in a hallucination
Species: Pureblood vampire
Gender: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual
History: Here
Appearance: Here
Personality:
Yuki was born a pureblood vampire, she was then turned into a human at the age of four, and then at the age of sixteen she was turned back into a pureblood vampire by her fiancee and then thought to be brother. After a year of living with her brother, Kaname, she found out he wasn't really her brother but her ancestor re-incarnated into the body of her brother, she also found out he was beginning to kill other pureblood vampires and he left her. While Yuki has the general aspects of a nineteen year old girl, being kind, caring, elegant to some extent, mature, protective, and sensual. However the events that occurred in her life before the memory loss of being vampire at age four, during her life as a human, and her life at the moment, changed the surface of Yuki's personality and behaviour. I'll start off with her normal aspects.
Yuki is kind, caring, and protective of the people she loves and or cares for. If there is anyone in need, she quickly comes and tries to save them (even if she has often found herself being the one in need). She is a philanthropist, and strives for humans and vampires to get along (a trait she learned from her step-father). Yuki doesn't care for fighting but if it means protecting the people she cares for, she will.
Human Yuki lacked friends but the ones she had, she cared for them deeply, and as a vampire the friends she has now, she treasures them and wishes to protect them. When she finds out that her friends are suffering, she feels very guilty for not realizing it. This to some extent is one of her greater faults; she overwhelms herself with worry. However Yuki dislikes burdening others with her problems and when she does, she often does it when she is overwhelmed and wants to be liberated.
As a pureblood princess, Yuki is both elegant and mature. However this are often blocked out due to her being a comedic character of sorts and being restless and her wanderlust nature. When it isn't blocked out, Yuki will act proper and lady like in front of elders, in serious situations, and when there is danger. She has grown very mature over the course of her life, and takes into account almost everything. Another fault of hers would be that she acts on a whim and doesn't consider the aftermath of her actions. She will however always make the right decisions depending on the situation.
Yuki is also restless, and has a wanderlust like soul. She acts on the whim of the situation, and lets it control her. When faced with the problem of her brother, she quickly went around trying to fix all the problems he caused, even embarrassing herself at times with the older vampires. When faced with the problem of her friend Zero being a blood deprived vampire, she let him drink her blood in secret (she was a human at the time). Her mood and behaviour is also affected on the actions of others and the situation she finds herself in. Because her moods are powerful, this also affects her powers.
Yuki has always been the type of person to adapt easily and quickly to a situation. She has traveled a great distance as a vampire from living at the academy she was at as a human, to living with her brother, to living anywhere where she found herself. Although she has never left her home country, she has left spiritually her body and returned to it (with turning from vampire to human to vampire).
Yuki is a rather slow character and comedic when it comes to schoolwork, and basic talents. She often fell asleep in class as a human and isn't very good with schoolwork, or drawing, or anything that would make her stand out in the vampire community (aside from being a pureblood princess; and or it hasn't been revealed yet in canon). She often makes comical faces when challenged with work, and gives up rather easily. However the reason for her lack of talent is because when she was turned into a human, she lost all her memories, including how to talk, eat, and understand certain things. Because she had to relearn all those skills, she started off slower than other children.
The old personality traits that Yuki once possessed as a human and her early stages of being a vampire was her fears, fear of being alone, fear of travelling alone, naive, extreme loyalty, and being less mature. When she was human, Yuki did not defend herself and often stood in fear when she was being attacked, especially by vampires. She also rarely left school grounds, less alone. She also believed that many people were good people and the bad ones could be good for some. Aside from that, her loyalty to Kaname knew no bounds. She was madly in love with him at the time because he was the first person in her memories as a human and the one who turned her into a vampire.
Generally Yuki has trouble accepting the fact that she's a vampire. While she appreciates the strength and healing abilities that come with being a vampire, she isn't used to sleeping during the day, or using her fangs. She isn't even used to using her powers, so when they are used, it's usually out of her control. While she remembers how to use her fangs (from when she was a child), she isn't always used to actually using them to bite for blood. Vampire children don't have fully functional fangs so they feed off their parents energy instead of blood. Yuki isn't quite used to the idea of even drinking blood so she generally sticks to either depriving herself of it, or drinking blood tablets. When she really needs blood, she will either bite herself by mistake or feed off of Zero.
Yuki's relationships are also an important part of her personality. While she had a good relationship with both Zero and Kaname, it was slowly tarnished. What with Kaname going mad and Zero killing her. But before that she had a love for both of them and never felt fully satisfied with Kaname's blood because she craved Zero's blood. However she was never truly satisfied because the blood of lovers is what keeps you happy in the vampire world and what with Yuki drinking blood from Zero at this point more than Kaname, she was a mess.
On the surface simplicity, Yuki is a kind person with a lot on her shoulders. She often wears her heart on her sleeve, is over caring, and tries her best to do good in a world stained with blood. She does everything with a dull passion, and is very romantic with people. Her heart is in the right and she tries too hard to please.
Abilites:
Yuki is a Pureblood vampire and posses both normal vampire powers and Pureblood powers.
Pureblood powers:
Turning humans into vampires -
Humans who are bitten by Pureblood vampires are turned into vampires. They are also turned dependent on said Pureblood and must drink their blood in order to stay sane. Vampires who were once human who do not drink from their masters (the pureblood who turned them into vampire), slowly go insane and drop from Level D vampire to Level E and lose all control and attack anyone who comes their way.
The transformation to vampire is very painful and death may occur. Yuki has never done this and probably won't.
Beauty -
Pureblood vampires are considered the most beautiful creatures on the Earth. The beauty is a survival trait. With this they are able to lure humans and other vampires to them and drink from them. Yuki however seems to fall short on this, in many cases she is considered of average beauty.
Intelligence -
Pureblood vampires are known for their intelligence and outstanding contributions to the human world. Yuki however lacks this.
General Powers -
The general powers that Purebloods posses are kinetic energy, telekinesis, and telepathic powers. Yuki is shown to use these when her emotions grow strong, particularly negative emotions (anger, sadness, confusion, fury).
Flight -
Purebloods are able to fly, generally by the usage of transformation or just floating. Yuki is shown to grow butterfly wings from her back, made of her blood and she is able to fly with these. Other Purebloods in the series are shown to use a cloud of bat wings to fly and some simply float around.
Memory -
Purebloods are able to erase the memories of humans and lower ranking vampires. Mostly done to erase the memory of being seen. Purebloods are able to erase other Pureblood's memories but the cost is the eraser's life. Purebloods are also able to block memories, and create delusions. They are also able to cancel a delusion, sadly in Yuki's case she didn't have a chance to before being pulled from her world.
Blood -
This is a big one. The blood of a Pureblood is the most wonderful thing to humans and other vampires. It can cure illness, give youth to humans and keep them alive a decade longer, and give special powers to vampires. It is also something that controls both Purebloods and regular vampires. Both are attracted by the blood of young children and fair maidens. However the blood of a lover is more appealing to vampires more than anything. Vampires who were born a vampire will not die from lack of blood but they're sanity will dwindle. Not as drastically as a vampire who was a former human but they will feel odd.
Purebloods, when drinking the blood of someone they are close with, will feel the emotions in that person and can even see their memories or thoughts.
Emotions -
This is a factor that determines whether Yuki uses her powers or not. If she is feeling angry or sad, there are chances of nearby glass shattering or flowers burning up. Also it can cause things to bloom and flourish. If a Pureblood is feeling romantic and troubadoric, nearby life can bloom such as small plants and flowers.
Transmutation -
Purebloods can make small things and animals. Yuki usually makes dozens of small white butterflies from her blood.
Healing -
When Purebloods are injured, they are able to heal at a rapid speed. However if a limb or any body part (exempt hair) is cut, it takes longer but it will grow back.
Nocturnal and Senses -
Vampires sleep during the day and are awake at night because of their heighten senses. They have sharper vision, sharper hearing, better taste and their sixth sense is more powerful. Because of this the sun bothers their eyes and skin.
Strength -
While seeming small and weak, Yuki is much stronger than the average vampire. She is able to jump out of trees and pick up things easily and fight better.
Death -
Vampire can be killed with anti-vampire weapons, especially when it is aimed at their heads or hearts. Purebloods when killed turn into crystals and disperse in the air. Regular vampires turn into ash.
Other:
Yuki has an anti-vampire weapon named Artemis with her often. She also carries around a tiny flower trapped in resin.
SAMPLES
First Person:
( yuki had climbed the gate that surrounded community. yes she got hurt, yes she screamed like a mule for a bit. the fact that her powers were taken away caused great anger to her. she had returned from the trip and was exhausted. as much as she wanted to do it during the night, she just couldn't. so she did it during the day and was tired. she opened up the feed with tired eyes and messy hair. )
I don't think we can ever leave. It's all hopeless, give up hope.
( while she wasn't usually the pessimistic type, her comical face suggested otherwise. )
I guess I should start getting along with the kids and husband huh? I'm still not used to the idea of sleeping in the same bed with a stranger.
( she blushed slightly and sighed. )
Well I tried to help. I even brought Artemis along with me. All I saw was forest and then I was back here. Some sort of paradox.
Third Person:
Yuki wasn't really used to routines or being a housewife. She was used to travelling, fighting vampires, protecting Zero, dying. However she wasn't complaining. She actually liked it. It was cute, being a wife and getting a second chance to live. While she had never imagined her dying would result in living in a friendly (enough) community full of strangers, she accepted it. The only thing she didn't embrace wasn't the fact that she was technically no longer a vampire, but that she couldn't use her other powers in general. Sometimes she needed an escape from the routine and couldn't. Well at least with her powers.
Today Yuki decided to buy gifts for her 'children'. After all it wasn't their fault they were forced into this place! So she went off, wearing her long pink coat, and drove towards the mall. She wasn't used to driving, it was a miracle she got it the first time. Back home she would run, walk, or fly wherever she needed to. Yuki got there and quickly ran in, excited for once. She looked around and got them their favorite things.
As she was on her way out, she spotted a yogurt shop and felt her stomach growl. She wasn't used to this, eating real food three times a day. Sure back home she would sometimes eat but it wasn't what she loved. She loved yogurt and parfaits. So she walked in and ordered three large bowls of parfait, topped with fruits and chocolate.

Her mood and behaviour is also affected on the actions of others and the situation she finds herself in. Because her moods are powerful, this also affects her powers.
Yuki has always been the type of person to adapt easily and quickly to a situation. She has traveled a great distance as a vampire from living at the academy she was at as a human, to living with her brother, to living anywhere where she found herself. Although she has never left her home country, she has left spiritually her body and returned to it (with turning from vampire to human to vampire).
Yuki is a rather slow character and comedic when it comes to schoolwork, and basic talents. She often fell asleep in class as a human and isn't very good with schoolwork, or drawing, or anything that would make her stand out in the vampire community (aside from being a pureblood princess; and or it hasn't been revealed yet in canon). She often makes comical faces when challenged with work, and gives up rather easily. However the reason for her lack of talent is because when she was turned into a human, she lost all her memories, including how to talk, eat, and understand certain things. Because she had to relearn all those skills, she started off slower than other children.
The old personality traits that Yuki once possessed as a human and her early stages of being a vampire was her fears, fear of being alone, fear of travelling alone, naive, extreme loyalty, and being less mature. When she was human, Yuki did not defend herself and often stood in fear when she was being attacked, especially by vampires. She also rarely left school grounds, less alone. She also believed that many people were good people and the bad ones could be good for some. Aside from that, her loyalty to Kaname knew no bounds. She was madly in love with him at the time because he was the first person in her memories as a human and the one who turned her into a vampire.
Generally Yuki has trouble accepting the fact that she's a vampire. While she appreciates the strength and healing abilities that come with being a vampire, she isn't used to sleeping during the day, or using her fangs. She isn't even used to using her powers, so when they are used, it's usually out of her control. While she remembers how to use her fangs (from when she was a child), she isn't always used to actually using them to bite for blood. Vampire children don't have fully functional fangs so they feed off their parents energy instead of blood. Yuki isn't quite used to the idea of even drinking blood so she generally sticks to either depriving herself of it, or drinking blood tablets. When she really needs blood, she will either bite herself by mistake or feed off of Zero.
Yuki's relationships are also an important part of her personality. While she had a good relationship with both Zero and Kaname, it was slowly tarnished. What with Kaname going mad and Zero killing her. But before that she had a love for both of them and never felt fully satisfied with Kaname's blood because she craved Zero's blood. However she was never truly satisfied because the blood of lovers is what keeps you happy in the vampire world and what with Yuki drinking blood from Zero at this point more than Kaname, she was a mess.
On the surface simplicity, Yuki is a kind person with a lot on her shoulders. She often wears her heart on her sleeve, is over caring, and tries her best to do good in a world stained with blood. She does everything with a dull passion, and is very romantic with people. Her heart is in the right and she tries too hard to please.
Abilites:
Yuki is a Pureblood vampire and posses both normal vampire powers and Pureblood powers.
Pureblood powers:
Turning humans into vampires -
Humans who are bitten by Pureblood vampires are turned into vampires. They are also turned dependent on said Pureblood and must drink their blood in order to stay sane. Vampires who were once human who do not drink from their masters (the pureblood who turned them into vampire), slowly go insane and drop from Level D vampire to Level E and lose all control and attack anyone who comes their way.
The transformation to vampire is very painful and death may occur. Yuki has never done this and probably won't.
Beauty -
Pureblood vampires are considered the most beautiful creatures on the Earth. The beauty is a survival trait. With this they are able to lure humans and other vampires to them and drink from them. Yuki however seems to fall short on this, in many cases she is considered of average beauty.
Intelligence -
Pureblood vampires are known for their intelligence and outstanding contributions to the human world. Yuki however lacks this.
General Powers -
The general powers that Purebloods posses are kinetic energy, telekinesis, and telepathic powers. Yuki is shown to use these when her emotions grow strong, particularly negative emotions (anger, sadness, confusion, fury).
Flight -
Purebloods are able to fly, generally by the usage of transformation or just floating. Yuki is shown to grow butterfly wings from her back, made of her blood and she is able to fly with these. Other Purebloods in the series are shown to use a cloud of bat wings to fly and some simply float around.
Memory -
Purebloods are able to erase the memories of humans and lower ranking vampires. Mostly done to erase the memory of being seen. Purebloods are able to erase other Pureblood's memories but the cost is the eraser's life. Purebloods are also able to block memories, and create delusions. They are also able to cancel a delusion, sadly in Yuki's case she didn't have a chance to before being pulled from her world.
Blood -
This is a big one. The blood of a Pureblood is the most wonderful thing to humans and other vampires. It can cure illness, give youth to humans and keep them alive a decade longer, and give special powers to vampires. It is also something that controls both Purebloods and regular vampires. Both are attracted by the blood of young children and fair maidens. However the blood of a lover is more appealing to vampires more than anything. Vampires who were born a vampire will not die from lack of blood but they're sanity will dwindle. Not as drastically as a vampire who was a former human but they will feel odd.
Purebloods, when drinking the blood of someone they are close with, will feel the emotions in that person and can even see their memories or thoughts.
Emotions -
This is a factor that determines whether Yuki uses her powers or not. If she is feeling angry or sad, there are chances of nearby glass shattering or flowers burning up. Also it can cause things to bloom and flourish. If a Pureblood is feeling romantic and troubadoric, nearby life can bloom such as small plants and flowers.
Transmutation -
Purebloods can make small things and animals. Yuki usually makes dozens of small white butterflies from her blood.
Healing -
When Purebloods are injured, they are able to heal at a rapid speed. However if a limb or any body part (exempt hair) is cut, it takes longer but it will grow back.
Nocturnal and Senses -
Vampires sleep during the day and are awake at night because of their heighten senses. They have sharper vision, sharper hearing, better taste and their sixth sense is more powerful. Because of this the sun bothers their eyes and skin.
Strength -
While seeming small and weak, Yuki is much stronger than the average vampire. She is able to jump out of trees and pick up things easily and fight better.
Death -
Vampire can be killed with anti-vampire weapons, especially when it is aimed at their heads or hearts. Purebloods when killed turn into crystals and disperse in the air. Regular vampires turn into ash.
Other:
Yuki has an anti-vampire weapon named Artemis with her often. She also carries around a tiny flower trapped in resin.
SAMPLES
First Person:
( yuki had climbed the gate that surrounded community. yes she got hurt, yes she screamed like a mule for a bit. the fact that her powers were taken away caused great anger to her. she had returned from the trip and was exhausted. as much as she wanted to do it during the night, she just couldn't. so she did it during the day and was tired. she opened up the feed with tired eyes and messy hair. )
I don't think we can ever leave. It's all hopeless, give up hope.
( while she wasn't usually the pessimistic type, her comical face suggested otherwise. )
I guess I should start getting along with the kids and husband huh? I'm still not used to the idea of sleeping in the same bed with a stranger.
( she blushed slightly and sighed. )
Well I tried to help. I even brought Artemis along with me. All I saw was forest and then I was back here. Some sort of paradox.
Third Person:
Yuki wasn't really used to routines or being a housewife. She was used to travelling, fighting vampires, protecting Zero, dying. However she wasn't complaining. She actually liked it. It was cute, being a wife and getting a second chance to live. While she had never imagined her dying would result in living in a friendly (enough) community full of strangers, she accepted it. The only thing she didn't embrace wasn't the fact that she was technically no longer a vampire, but that she couldn't use her other powers in general. Sometimes she needed an escape from the routine and couldn't. Well at least with her powers.
Today Yuki decided to buy gifts for her 'children'. After all it wasn't their fault they were forced into this place! So she went off, wearing her long pink coat, and drove towards the mall. She wasn't used to driving, it was a miracle she got it the first time. Back home she would run, walk, or fly wherever she needed to. Yuki got there and quickly ran in, excited for once. She looked around and got them their favorite things.
As she was on her way out, she spotted a yogurt shop and felt her stomach growl. She wasn't used to this, eating real food three times a day. Sure back home she would sometimes eat but it wasn't what she loved. She loved yogurt and parfaits. So she walked in and ordered three large bowls of parfait, topped with fruits and chocolate.

Elliot Nightray || Pandora Hearts || Not Reserved [2/3]
guielliotine
2012-12-01 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Personality:
A few words can sum up Elliot in an instant: loud, violent and unmistakably noble. When it comes to the youngest son of Duke Nightray, Elliot is quick to punch a person in the face and ask questions later. Temper tantrums are common place, as are flying pieces of furniture. There's more to Elliot than just an angry face though; the good, the bad, and the downright horrifying.
Being born the youngest child of a Duke, especially Duke Nightray, is no easy existence. Brought up right from the very start to be a prim and proper individual, Elliot certainly retained the essential teachings to fit the mould of his class, but that definitely doesn't mean that he's ever abided by them. While those of his status would be underhanded going about insulting a peer, Elliot isn't afraid to scream someone's faults directly in their face. Curses and threats are regular events, as are fists being thrown people's way. While others strive for approval from society and crave to climb the status ladder, Elliot could care less what others think of him. Granted, that doesn't mean he'll take any insults or comments about his behaviour lying down. Insulting his family name isn't a wise move either. Elliot is proud of the Nightray family name and is willing to do what he must to uphold its honour.
Rash and ready to snap at the drop of a hat, Elliot is ultimately driven to act on impulse by his emotions. He's unbelievably stubborn, unable to let things go or leave loose ends hanging. If there's an argument that's happened, it needs to be finished right then and there. If there's a problem, it better be fixed now. He's unable to let things go, holding onto grudges and bad blood for, well, ever really. An example of this would be Elliot's anger toward his older brother, Gilbert Nightray for leaving the Nightray family, only to go and become a servant to the Vessalius household. It doesn't help that the two households, Nightray and Vessalius, are essentially at each other's throats. To Elliot, the fact his brother left his family was not just a big slap to the face, it was downright betrayal. Unless his beliefs are brought into question, Elliot will firmly go on believing what he does unless someone tries to prove him wrong or otherwise. His hatred for the Vessalius children was unquestionable, but after he came to get to know Oz Vessalius, Elliot decided that maybe they weren't all bad.
While Elliot may be a noble, in most cases he can't stand others of the same class standing as him. They piss him off, to be quite frank. They're false and unkind, and if there's one thing Elliot can't bear, it's a fake person. It's why Elliot refused for the longest time to pick out a servant for himself from a noble family. Instead, he ended up choosing Leo, an orphan child who wasn't afraid to scream back at him or tell him his faults right to his face. Leo was the only person who wouldn't put on a show or grovel at his feet. Rather, Leo was more inclined to speak (or yell) at Elliot as an equal. Nothing more, nothing less.
While Elliot isn't without his faults, he isn't all just fists and fanfare. There's a quieter, more gentle side of Elliot Nightray that exists as well, he just doesn't show it often. He cares deeply for his family members and Leo and it's usually the latter who sees this docile side of Elliot more than anyone else. This side of him usually comes out when he's alone relaxing with Leo quietly in a room or when he's immersed in playing the piano. Children seem to be fond of Elliot as well, even if he more often than not isn't exactly sure how to deal with them.
He's a noble soul, according to Vincent his older brother, and it couldn't be better said. Elliot may not be perfect, but he tries to do the right thing if it will keep those he cherishes safe. Contracted to Humpty Dumpty unwittingly, Elliot is an illegal contractor and ultimately the one responsible for the death of his siblings and family members. The guilt that comes with that knowledge is almost suffocating, but Elliot snaps himself out of his self wallowing. While he hates self sacrifice more than anything else, (and tears Oz's face off for it when Oz belittles himself), Elliot ends up rejecting his Chain and in turn killing himself to destroy its existence. Elliot won't let anyone feel burdened by him - if he has problems it's his duty and his alone to fix them. No one else's. If it kills him in the long run? (Which it did...) So be it.
That said, Elliot Nightray is a hot headed individual, but one that possesses not only the strength of his fists but personal conviction and belief. He won't allow himself to feel sorry for himself, let alone let others feel sorry for themselves or for him. Nothing good comes out of letting yourself be engulfed by despair. After all, if you can't find happiness yourself, how can you expect to find it for others?
Abilites:
+ Swordsmanship - Elliot is extremely talented when it comes to wielding a sword and he always has the sword his father gave to him on his body. He's quick agile, and knows just when to strike.
+ Humpty Dumpty - Elliot Nightray is an Illegal Contractor and is contracted to a being called a Chain, which are entities who reside in the Abyss, a place that is, well, essentially an abyss. It's another dimension, somewhat equivalent to Hell in a sense and when humans wish to have power, they form contracts with Chains. Humpty Dumpty is the Chain that Elliot Nightray is illegally contracted to, thanks to Leo forcing him to unwittingly contract in an attempt to save his life, even though for the majority of the series Elliot does not recall this or is even aware of the Chain's presence. Aside from the moments leading up to the end of Elliot's life, Humpty Dumpty only makes itself known to Elliot through Elliot's nightmares, which show the true memories that he holds that Humpty Dumpty forced Elliot to suppress, and later on as a voice speaking to him.
Long story short, Humpty Dumpty is an essential part of Elliot's soul - that's what happens to people when they contract with a Chain. Due to the fact Elliot is an Illegal Contractor, without the Chain he would be unable to exist. Humpty Dumpty is a Chain that was created from the body of the person who originally had Glen Baskerville's soul in it and thus Humpty Dumpty exists to protect that very soul and its new body from being badly harmed/killed. The rest of the time, it just lays dormant inside Elliot's soul.
Humpty Dumpty itself is able to suppress its contractor's memories and even rewrite them, causing them to suffer a nasty case of nightmares. Along with this Humpty Dumpty can force its contractor to act in its steed without ever having to manifest itself outside their body, causing them to commit an act of violence or self sacrifice to protect the body that houses Glen Baskerville's soul. It's also a viable opponent when it is summoned, considering it has a nasty habit of trying to impale those who are a threat to Leo (who is the current container for Glen Baskerville's soul) with its tongue or lopping off their heads. Any pain that Humpty Dumpty may feel however, would be directly experienced by Elliot, due to the contract.
In Holly Heights I would assume that Humpty Dumpty will be dormant/sealed and unable to manifest himself outside of Elliot's body. It may speak to Elliot or force him to experience awful nightmares, but it would be incapable of bringing upon any harm to anyone else, aside from forcing Elliot to be more violent toward those who try to bring harm to Leo. ( If he wasn't already violent enough...) If Humpty Dumpty would be removed entirely and the contract broken by being in Holly Heights, then please let me know!
+ Talented musician and composer - Elliot is not only a composer, but he's very adept at playing the piano. He also plays the violin, but not to the same level as the piano.
+ Flower Language - It's mentioned in the series that Elliot is knowledgeable about Victorian flower language, even though he insists he only knows because his sister is really into it.

Characters Name: Chihiro Shindou
Age: 16
Canon: ef - a tale of memories.
Canon Point: episode nine
Species: human
Gender: female
Orientation: heterosexual
History: wikipedia ; episode-by-episode summaries
Appearance: What a cutie.
Personality: Chihiro is a very shy girl, and while part of it is due to her disorder, a lot of it is just her. Compared to her twin sister, she was never the loud one, never the outgoing one. She's slow to make friends, though that maybe because she's never had a chance to. However, that doesn't mean that she enjoys her solitude. The second time she meets Renji (as the first was basically him running away from her out of embarrassment) she hastily explains that she doesn't mind seeing him at the train station, and the third time she hugs him out of gratitude for coming back to see her. Of course, she had to reaffirm his identity each time, but the fact that he returned to be her friend meant more to her than anything else. To her, a simple "see you later" is a promise to meet one another again, and these promises are one of the only things that can connect the her of one day to the her of the next.
Chihiro feels that her life in general is worthless and pointless as she isn't able to do anything, and this sad belief is apparent in everything she does, from her novel to her math exercises. She has little motivation to do anything with her life simply because she won't remember. In fact, she states that her only "goal"--not even a hope or wish--is to live a life without troubling anyone. At the same time, she realizes that this is impossible, and that by simply living she'll be troubling someone due to her condition. Any passion she has is directed towards her desire to write a novel, but she doesn't attempt to do that either because of the difficulties her disorder would present her with. Even in her own diary, she a has a bulleted note saying to avoid others as much as possible as she can only cause them trouble. Still, her desire for companionship is evident in that she further instructs herself to record everything about anyone she meets in the diary.
On a day-by-day basis though, Chihiro appears as a rather average girl save for her eyepatch. She enjoys cooking and eating, keeping a point record of how good her meals are in her diary, and likes to go out and about in town. Unfortunately, she's rather bad at cooking, and she freely admits that the food made by women in her family should not but consumed by human beings; while she doesn't mean to be funny, her self-depreciating nature can seem a bit funny at tiems in light-hearted situations. She's a bit sensitive, and movies will make her cry even if they're not meant to be sad ones. There are times when she overreacts towards being poked fun at, and she'll even ask if she's being bullied, but her grudges don't (and can't) last for long. While she doesn't actively read books, she has an interest in writing them. On the surface, she really is just a normal girl and tries hard to be one.
As she writes more of her novel, it is slowly revealed that it is really just an allegory for how she views the world and her life. In her narrow perspective, she is the only person in the world, and her only connection to other human beings is through her memories of when she was younger. She cannot create any new experiences and cannot form new relationships. She is utterly, utterly alone, and there is no true way to solve this situation. It would seem that her relationship with Renji is a cure for her loneliness, but when she sleeps for fourteen hours and loses all memories of him, it shows how truly fragile her bonds with people are. They can dissolve and disintegrate like dust. Even after she recovers from the shock of it all, she is wary and hesitant to become friends with him again because she knows that she can forget him just as easily as she did before.
Abilites: Chihiro is about as normal as regular humans come. Ironically enough though, she has a fantastic memory if it's something that occurred within the last thirteen hours; if it happened in that time frame, she can recall every tiny detail. As mentioned earlier, she's so horrible at cooking that she flat out states that people shouldn't eat it. Lastly, she has a penchant for relating things in rather whimsical terms, probably due to her time spent writing.
Other: N/A
SAMPLES
First Person: Sample here!
Third Person: The day began like any other day before it--or at least, what she thought her days before began like. As Chihiro walked silently to the abandoned train station, diary in hand, she couldn't help but keep her eyes toward the sky even then. Her footsteps resounded lightly against the metal of the train tracks, and the noise of the town was incapable of reaching this far out. In the unchanging and unmoving scenery around her, only the clouds above seemed to move forward, progress on to whatever future was waiting for them.
And as for herself? Even as she continued to walk, it felt like nothing changed around her, nothing changed about her. She may not have been able to remember it for herself, but she knew that she would spend this day exactly the same as she did the last few days: doing nothing but sitting silently, alone, with her gaze on the sky for no particular reason other than having nothing else to do. After all, even if she tried to do something, she would eventually forget about it or lose the interest the her of yesterday had; there simply wasn't any point. It had been four years already, and nothing had changed in that time. Not a thing had changed.
Still, as she took a seat at the abandoned train station, hands in her lap and probably looking like the very picture of content, she couldn't help but wonder aloud.
"... maybe today something will be different."
It was a prayer of sorts, one she fully expected to go unanswered, but... Regardless, she sat there hoping.

Characters Name: Chihiro Shindou
Age: 16
Canon: ef - a tale of memories.
Canon Point: episode nine
Species: human
Gender: female
Orientation: heterosexual
History: wikipedia ; episode-by-episode summaries
Appearance: What a cutie.
Personality: Chihiro is a very shy girl, and while part of it is due to her disorder, a lot of it is just her. Compared to her twin sister, she was never the loud one, never the outgoing one. She's slow to make friends, though that maybe because she's never had a chance to. However, that doesn't mean that she enjoys her solitude. The second time she meets Renji (as the first was basically him running away from her out of embarrassment) she hastily explains that she doesn't mind seeing him at the train station, and the third time she hugs him out of gratitude for coming back to see her. Of course, she had to reaffirm his identity each time, but the fact that he returned to be her friend meant more to her than anything else. To her, a simple "see you later" is a promise to meet one another again, and these promises are one of the only things that can connect the her of one day to the her of the next.
Chihiro feels that her life in general is worthless and pointless as she isn't able to do anything, and this sad belief is apparent in everything she does, from her novel to her math exercises. She has little motivation to do anything with her life simply because she won't remember. In fact, she states that her only "goal"--not even a hope or wish--is to live a life without troubling anyone. At the same time, she realizes that this is impossible, and that by simply living she'll be troubling someone due to her condition. Any passion she has is directed towards her desire to write a novel, but she doesn't attempt to do that either because of the difficulties her disorder would present her with. Even in her own diary, she a has a bulleted note saying to avoid others as much as possible as she can only cause them trouble. Still, her desire for companionship is evident in that she further instructs herself to record everything about anyone she meets in the diary.
On a day-by-day basis though, Chihiro appears as a rather average girl save for her eyepatch. She enjoys cooking and eating, keeping a point record of how good her meals are in her diary, and likes to go out and about in town. Unfortunately, she's rather bad at cooking, and she freely admits that the food made by women in her family should not but consumed by human beings; while she doesn't mean to be funny, her self-depreciating nature can seem a bit funny at tiems in light-hearted situations. She's a bit sensitive, and movies will make her cry even if they're not meant to be sad ones. There are times when she overreacts towards being poked fun at, and she'll even ask if she's being bullied, but her grudges don't (and can't) last for long. While she doesn't actively read books, she has an interest in writing them. On the surface, she really is just a normal girl and tries hard to be one.
As she writes more of her novel, it is slowly revealed that it is really just an allegory for how she views the world and her life. In her narrow perspective, she is the only person in the world, and her only connection to other human beings is through her memories of when she was younger. She cannot create any new experiences and cannot form new relationships. She is utterly, utterly alone, and there is no true way to solve this situation. It would seem that her relationship with Renji is a cure for her loneliness, but when she sleeps for fourteen hours and loses all memories of him, it shows how truly fragile her bonds with people are. They can dissolve and disintegrate like dust. Even after she recovers from the shock of it all, she is wary and hesitant to become friends with him again because she knows that she can forget him just as easily as she did before.
Abilites: Chihiro is about as normal as regular humans come. Ironically enough though, she has a fantastic memory if it's something that occurred within the last thirteen hours; if it happened in that time frame, she can recall every tiny detail. As mentioned earlier, she's so horrible at cooking that she flat out states that people shouldn't eat it. Lastly, she has a penchant for relating things in rather whimsical terms, probably due to her time spent writing.
Other: N/A
SAMPLES
First Person: Sample here!
Third Person: The day began like any other day before it--or at least, what she thought her days before began like. As Chihiro walked silently to the abandoned train station, diary in hand, she couldn't help but keep her eyes toward the sky even then. Her footsteps resounded lightly against the metal of the train tracks, and the noise of the town was incapable of reaching this far out. In the unchanging and unmoving scenery around her, only the clouds above seemed to move forward, progress on to whatever future was waiting for them.
And as for herself? Even as she continued to walk, it felt like nothing changed around her, nothing changed about her. She may not have been able to remember it for herself, but she knew that she would spend this day exactly the same as she did the last few days: doing nothing but sitting silently, alone, with her gaze on the sky for no particular reason other than having nothing else to do. After all, even if she tried to do something, she would eventually forget about it or lose the interest the her of yesterday had; there simply wasn't any point. It had been four years already, and nothing had changed in that time. Not a thing had changed.
Still, as she took a seat at the abandoned train station, hands in her lap and probably looking like the very picture of content, she couldn't help but wonder aloud.
"... maybe today something will be different."

History: WikiMoon Entry: Sailor Moon, WikiMoon: Usagi Tsukino, and Wikipedia: Sailor Moon
Appearance: This right here.
Personality:
Abilites:
Other: n/a atm
Appearance: This right here.
Personality:
To just about everyone in her world, Usagi Tsukino is a kind highchool girl who has a bit of an appetite and a penchant for crying. She also happens to possibly be the most powerful being in her known universe, and with the help of her friends she routinely helps keep the planet Earth safe under the guise of Sailor Moon. Like her life and her past, there is much more to Usagi than what is first apparent.
Usagi's general disposition is rather light hearted and carefree. She cares greatly for her friends and loved ones, but in the same breath is not beyond teasing or scheming with them. She does have moments where things will get on her nerves, particularly when she's being teased. Despite her anger being quite pronounced at some points, she never really stays bent out of shape for long and oftentimes realizes when she's been wrong and will apologize for it. This happens several times when she's adjusting to Chibiusa, who manages to press her buttons more than others. However, the two grow quite close and after she's gone Usagi does miss her. It's fairly easy to call Usagi an outgoing person, especially in regards to other people.
Usa can be quite lazy about accomplishing things that she is not particularly interested in. This is immediately evident in her lack of performance in school in all subjects and managing to wake up on time in order to actually attend class on time. Her lack of interest in these subjects is not because she's stupid, but rather because she does not take the time to study and learn the things she needs to in order to excel in school. Her inability to remember a lot of kanji reflects this rather well. Though initially this laziness is accompanied by an extreme lack of coordination and battle ability, with the progression of the story line she becomes much more adept at fighting and defending herself. This is likely because her powers and abilities as a Sailor Senshi.
Usagi is also quite fond of food, and though her affinity for eating is not bad as some bottomless pit types in anime, she does tend to make more than her fair share of comments about hunger. In fact, one of the first few interactions she has with Makoto involves her attraction to Mako's cooking, and Usa's bottomless pit of a stomach. Interestingly enough this moment is one of bonding for the two girls.
Calling Usagi "kind" is a dramatic understatement. If the grinch is the epitome of having a small, shriveled heart, then Usagi would be his complete antithesis. Befriending other people comes easy to Usagi, and is easily one of her greatest strengths as a person. It's her ability to befriend dramatically different people that gives her access to such reliable allies and friends. This does not mean that she only befriends people that she needs as allies either. Quite the contrary in fact, as she cares for every one of her friends quite deeply. In specific, she befriends Ami with the intention of being her friend, not only because she is another sailor senshi.
Usagi's kindness is not limited to being such towards her friends, as her kindness towards others is often extended towards those she does not yet know. A good example of this behaviour is her determination to believe that both Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus are allies, rather than conforming to the skepticism that the other senshi as well as Luna and Artemis show. This sort of faith is repeated when the starlights appear in the final arc. Usagi whole heartedly believes that they are meant to be allies, rather than enemies, even though the starlights are obviously from somewhere outside of the solar system. Even enemies are given a sort of compassion, especially Galaxia, to whom Usagi makes an effort to protect, even though moments before they had been fighting one another.
This sort of attitude and habit of extending trust to others so easily can classify Usagi as being somewhat naive, which can be seen as a rather large weakness. It potentially leaves her open to being hurt, by less than genuine people or an enemy trying to gain her trust for one reason or another. However this ability to believe in everyone is, none the less, one of her greatest strengths as well. It is very much an aspect in her character that causes people to gravitate to her, and an aspect of her that her friends strive to protect.
At the beginning of her story, Usagi is quite immature, but by the final chapters of the manga Usagi has grown into a rather capable and mature young woman who has found security in herself and the strength to face her enemies despite odds that out number her. This is a gradual growth that takes most of the series. By the time of the final arc of the manga Usagi has grown into her role as Sailor Moon, and more importantly into her role of protector. During her time in the cauldron, Usagi is told that it's because she exists that great darkness also exists. It is this realization that impresses upon Usagi the most that she is responsible for protecting and guiding not only her friends and loved ones but everyone. She embraces this destiny whole heartedly, and with the full intention of keeping absolutely everyone safe.
Her hope and determination are forces that drive her forward when most other people would give up and concede defeat. When faced with the losses of her friends and allies, she somehow finds the strength to keep moving forward, this strength being solidly held in her hope and belief that if she can triumph, her friends can return to her. This sort of determination and faith is why she tosses away the plea of Cosmos to destroy the Cauldron, and instead searches for a way to save -everyone- and still manage to keep the cauldron in existance. In her mind, it is irreconsilable to destroy the creation of all life in order to bring peace to a world. Instead, now that her maturity has fully blossomed, she accepts the resposibility as protector and vows to keep fighting and keep everyone safe in order to preserve the continuation of the galaxy.
Abilites:
First and Foremost, Usagi has the ability to become the evil fighting Sailor Suited Soldier Sailor Moon.
Usagi's abilities as a Sailor Senshi revolve around purification and healing. It is her power that manages to defeat the darkess that she and the other Senshi face as enemies in her world. In order to become Sailor Moon, Usagi uses the power of the Silver Crystal to transform into the heroine. This crystal is held in the brooch she wears on her uniform.
The brooch itself can only be used by people who are decendants of the royal bloodline of the moon of which Usagi is a reincarnation of, and even then only the women of the bloodline can use it. This means that only Usagi and her future daughter ChibiUsa are able to use the crystal's abilities despite the crystal often being the target of the enemies Usagi faces. During the storyline, Usagi's transformation powers up several times until she is finally able to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon. Each of Sailor Moon's "forms" uses different attacks, but rarely -- if ever -- does she use the attacks of a previous form once she has gained new abilities.
As Eternal Sailor Moon, Usagi's attack moves are:
Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss :: Eternal Sailor Moon uses her staff (the Eternal Tiare) to attack the enemy.
Silver Moon Crystal Power Therapy Kiss :: This is a more powered up version of the above attack.
Silver Moon Crystal Eternal Power :: Once Usagi has jumped into the Galaxy Cauldron and gathered the sailor crystals to her, she uses her own power and their power combined to perform this attack and destroy Chaos without completely destroying the cauldron.

Characters Name: Oz Vessalius
Age: 15 [tech. 125 due to being in the Abyss and other factors.]
Canon: Pandora Hearts
Canon Point: Post. chapter 79
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: N/A
History: here!
Appearance: This but where he’s coming from, he’ll have blood on the front and back of his shirt and he was bound before arriving if that helps any?
Personality: Despite being part of such a noble, prestigious family, Oz Vessalius was the opposite of what you would expect from someone coming from a such a noble line.
Nothing ever kept him down and he always seemed to harbor a bright, optimistic personality with an almost endless amount of energy that he showed on an almost constant basis. Though as a young child, he did work hard to gain praise and recognition from the man he seemed to respect and care for the most; his father. During an incident that occurred when Gilbert [his servant] confronted his father, Oz discovered that not only did his father hate him, he hated him to the point of not wanting to ever touch him and claimed he was ‘filthy’. This happened to change Oz for the worse and after such an event, he started to believe that there was no ‘guaranteed’ thing in this world even if he accepted everything. Even if it were to be sad or painful, if he thought this way and accepted everything, then he wouldn’t get hurt even when people left him.
With such a selfless, self-sacrificial mindset, Oz first thought that in order to protect his friends and family - with himself being as weak as he was - the least he could do would be to not cause trouble and allow himself to get hurt in their place. Though this all had seemed to have changed after an encounter with a boy named Elliot Nightray. He had forced Oz to realize that the way he’d been acting was only hurting those who are closest to him, not protecting them. Feeling guilt from now knowing this very fact of what he had done, Oz then vowed to become stronger to protect his friends instead of putting his own life first.
Though, as such, there was more to more to Oz then his exterior seemed to show.
At least once or twice within the series, Oz had started to show signs of this almost psychotic side to him. The first being in early canon when he was faced with a possessed Gil, telling him that he’d rather die before seeing Gil betray him and break his promise. He took the end of Gil’s gun - previously pointed at his shoulder - and placed it beneath his chin, daring him to follow through with ‘killing’ him, a rather manic smile being worn on his face just then. This was only the first and there are several other instances in canon where we have seen him showing a very similar mentality. A recent example of this would be within Chapter 38 when Oz is within Sabrie and he is confronted with a form of left-over /fragment/ of a man named Glen Baskerville, the man’s words and actions that soon end up driving Oz into this almost manic state once more.
The same look from that first instance had returned and he insisted on that he had to destroy everything, only barely shaken when Elliot got his attention and tore him away before he could have done any more damage. To his mind or anything else around him.
However that’s entirely short lived.
Through canon, we start to see Oz start to slowly lose himself in a way and seems to sort of be going a bit ‘mad’ and an instance in chapter 38 is where that seems to start happening more and more, summoning B-Rabbit’s Scythe and going awol on the chains all around. Only Alice has been able to stop him once before. He also seems to be a bit more jaded due to everything as canon continues to go on, but whether that’s a side effect of his contract with Alice furthering itself or not isn’t entirely clear.
On the more positive side of his personality, Oz was always seen to have a rather caring side to him and his loyalty to his friends knew no bounds; the two closest to him being the Chain by the name of Alice and his servant Gilbert. However, it’s with Alice that he becomes strangely protective and always has to ‘destroy what makes her sad’ without thought and he starts to lose himself and forgets his restraints. When it came to those two in general or anybody close to him, Oz was the type to be very trusting, and that he has always been someone whom had honest, sharp instincts about things and people. Though in regards to Gilbert, even though the man devotes his entire attention to him as his servant, in the past and after the Abyss, he loves to torture/bully Gil whenever he can get the chance. His favorite one is using Gil’s phobia of cats against him to bully him but he never means any ill will, doing so merely for a good laugh. Even with that, he still does remain a devious, sneaky teenager with a horrible habit to flirt with cute, younger girls without even a second thought in his head. That latter aspect of him being the only thing that has /never/ changed throughout canon.
Keeping in mind these previous facts, Oz has always been known to have quite the smarts and has been able to figure out things rather adeptly whenever the need to has arisen. It has saved him and his friends a few times from trouble, and while it can sometimes be rare to see this, he is also rather witty and never seemed to be lacking in comebacks. Even with his enemies in the heat of a battle.
When it comes to weaknesses, one could say that pretty girls are one form of weakness for him as he tends to be a major flirt almost all the time. Though on the other side, he is only human and will do almost anything for his friends to protect them. In the past, his self sacrificing attitude made that a weakness for him but he’s mostly overcome that and changed that part of him.
It’s only due to recent events that things have changed for the worst for Oz since that time.
Why his father rejected him, hated him, and what his sin was. WHO he really was.
This truth hit Oz hard and since then he’s been essentially broken.
Thinking nothing matters anymore because he’s just ‘fake’ and he’s just borrowing Jack’s body. Seeing as this body is not his but Jack’s all along and he’s just a chain by the name of ‘the b-rabbit’; formerly just a plush doll. He’s so full of self-loathing now and essentially has lost his identity – so to speak – and thinks himself as worthless right now, even if Gilbert rescued him from being killed and told him it was okay and had him questioning things.
It should clear up but it will take a lot of convincing to get him to see otherwise.

Characters Name: Perona
Age: 16-18
Canon: One Piece
Canon Point: After chapter 597 '3D2Y
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Orientation:
n/a
History: link
Appearance: here
Personality:
Perona is your very average spoiled princess. She doesn't like being told what to do, and she hates it when people don't listen to her. She's not afraid to speak her mind. With this attitude, Perona can be very childish in making sure things go her way. She can even be clingy at times when she tries to find someone who will either protect her or cure her boredom. Her dream is to have cute animals attending to her needs; zombie animals, goth style, anything with stitches and patches. If it's cute with a deep voice, she would tell them to shut up. Long as it's cute, it doesn't have to talk. She had a tendency of telling her zombie bear, Kumashi, to shut up. She loves gloomy and scary places. She has a tendency to troll people during the Thriller Bark Arc enough to scare Usopp to death. She enjoys teasing people and likes to send people into despair. It's mostly just to see reactions and the scares on the people. If anything, its all done to amuse her. There are times Perona can be gullible and naive enough to believe a very good liar. Perona prefers to have "cute" subordinates following her orders. She can be picky sometimes depending on circumstances like when she was alone on an island with Roronoa Zoro. She chose to follow him as a means of relieving her own boredom and for the protection being near him offered. One thing she hates very much is to lose. Losing, to Perona is like taking candy away from a kid. She will hold a grudge for it.
Despite her childish behavior, Perona is confident and firm with her devil fruit power. She will tell the person their place, as she has done with Absalom. This happened when Absalom brought up how to treat her subordinate, the zombie bear. It wasn't his business to tell her how to treat the bear. She would tell him, it's her subordinate not his. This teen isn't afraid to speak her mind even if its in a self-centered manner. Despite her selfishness, Perona will help others if its for a good reason. There have been cases where Perona will compliment the enemy or anyone in a good way. One example is when she cheered on for Usopp when her Negative Ghosts didn't affect him. After a quick compliment then its back to business. She has no hate against the Straw Hats crew, only Usopp since he was the one who defeated her.
Abilites:
Perona posses the devil fruit Horo Horo no Mi, which means "ghost fruit". With this ability, she is able to make endless clones of ghosts. These ghosts are conjured from herself, and can be split multiple times. Once the ghosts are formed, they are free to fly anywhere. There are two things these ghosts can do when formed. First one is that they can act like her own personal Ghost Network. Since these ghosts are connected to Perona, Perona can see, speak, and hear through them. This makes tracking and searching for people and things a lot easier, the perfect way to gather information from a by passing ghost. The second thing they can do is break your spirit. When one of these ghosts passes through a person, the person becomes drained and depressed, to the point that they usually fall to the ground on their knees and behave in a hopeless manner. This makes it easier for her to take her opponents down. The attack is 99% without fail (Usopp is the 1% who is resistant). Thanks to the effect of her negative hollows, Perona is capable of sending people who far surpass her in strength to the ground as sad and pathetic beings. When the person is down and crying, it's the perfect time for her to ambush them. She is said to be feared for exploiting this power. Although rarely, this method can backfire. If someone already is suffering from depression or despair while the ghost passes through them, Perona will be hit by the ghost's depressing effect instead. This happens because of the ghosts' connection to Perona; she feels the side effect if the other person's level of negativity over powers that of her ghost's. Negative and negative together repels for example.
Another thing she can do is conjure her ghosts to explode with enough force to bring down a wall. They act like dangerous hovering bombs able to touch and cling to the person of Perona's choice. The explosive ghosts are usually small but she can also create a large one that can deliver more damage than the mini ones. With the snap of her fingers, they explode with rough air like a sonic boom. She can conjure as many as she wishes.
Finally she can create an astral projection of herself. Leaving her body she is free to pass through solid objects and change her size. The only catch is that she can't physically do damage like punching (which makes this is the perfect time to use mini explosive ghosts) because she is intangible herself. Although her real body is unconscious for this, she has to hide it before she takes astral form to keep it safe. Perona likes to use this tactic because in astral form, she can't take any damages. There isn't much better than appearing out of the blue, floating around and taunting, and tossing ghosts at people. She may not have the strongest power from her world, but she can usually weaken those stronger than her. Thanks to her ghost ability, the opportunities to troll are nearly endless, and she does it quite often. Say hello to the Ghost Princess.

Before she left the diamond baseball field, Perona bowed her head towards it. Megumi didn't make it to where she is now.

She slammed her tight fist on the bed after having a realization and her eyes darted to the wall. Perona swung her hand around as she spoke. This time her voice returned back to her childish tone as she complained.

Characters Name: Perona
Age: 16-18
Canon: One Piece
Canon Point: After chapter 597 '3D2Y
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Orientation:
n/a
History: link
Appearance: here
Personality:
Perona is your very average spoiled princess. She doesn't like being told what to do, and she hates it when people don't listen to her. She's not afraid to speak her mind. With this attitude, Perona can be very childish in making sure things go her way. She can even be clingy at times when she tries to find someone who will either protect her or cure her boredom. Her dream is to have cute animals attending to her needs; zombie animals, goth style, anything with stitches and patches. If it's cute with a deep voice, she would tell them to shut up. Long as it's cute, it doesn't have to talk. She had a tendency of telling her zombie bear, Kumashi, to shut up. She loves gloomy and scary places. She has a tendency to troll people during the Thriller Bark Arc enough to scare Usopp to death. She enjoys teasing people and likes to send people into despair. It's mostly just to see reactions and the scares on the people. If anything, its all done to amuse her. There are times Perona can be gullible and naive enough to believe a very good liar. Perona prefers to have "cute" subordinates following her orders. She can be picky sometimes depending on circumstances like when she was alone on an island with Roronoa Zoro. She chose to follow him as a means of relieving her own boredom and for the protection being near him offered. One thing she hates very much is to lose. Losing, to Perona is like taking candy away from a kid. She will hold a grudge for it.
Despite her childish behavior, Perona is confident and firm with her devil fruit power. She will tell the person their place, as she has done with Absalom. This happened when Absalom brought up how to treat her subordinate, the zombie bear. It wasn't his business to tell her how to treat the bear. She would tell him, it's her subordinate not his. This teen isn't afraid to speak her mind even if its in a self-centered manner. Despite her selfishness, Perona will help others if its for a good reason. There have been cases where Perona will compliment the enemy or anyone in a good way. One example is when she cheered on for Usopp when her Negative Ghosts didn't affect him. After a quick compliment then its back to business. She has no hate against the Straw Hats crew, only Usopp since he was the one who defeated her.
Abilites:
Perona posses the devil fruit Horo Horo no Mi, which means "ghost fruit". With this ability, she is able to make endless clones of ghosts. These ghosts are conjured from herself, and can be split multiple times. Once the ghosts are formed, they are free to fly anywhere. There are two things these ghosts can do when formed. First one is that they can act like her own personal Ghost Network. Since these ghosts are connected to Perona, Perona can see, speak, and hear through them. This makes tracking and searching for people and things a lot easier, the perfect way to gather information from a by passing ghost. The second thing they can do is break your spirit. When one of these ghosts passes through a person, the person becomes drained and depressed, to the point that they usually fall to the ground on their knees and behave in a hopeless manner. This makes it easier for her to take her opponents down. The attack is 99% without fail (Usopp is the 1% who is resistant). Thanks to the effect of her negative hollows, Perona is capable of sending people who far surpass her in strength to the ground as sad and pathetic beings. When the person is down and crying, it's the perfect time for her to ambush them. She is said to be feared for exploiting this power. Although rarely, this method can backfire. If someone already is suffering from depression or despair while the ghost passes through them, Perona will be hit by the ghost's depressing effect instead. This happens because of the ghosts' connection to Perona; she feels the side effect if the other person's level of negativity over powers that of her ghost's. Negative and negative together repels for example.
Another thing she can do is conjure her ghosts to explode with enough force to bring down a wall. They act like dangerous hovering bombs able to touch and cling to the person of Perona's choice. The explosive ghosts are usually small but she can also create a large one that can deliver more damage than the mini ones. With the snap of her fingers, they explode with rough air like a sonic boom. She can conjure as many as she wishes.
Finally she can create an astral projection of herself. Leaving her body she is free to pass through solid objects and change her size. The only catch is that she can't physically do damage like punching (which makes this is the perfect time to use mini explosive ghosts) because she is intangible herself.

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Petunia Elkwood
Age: 18 years
Canon: Todd Allison and the Petunia Violet
Canon Point: end of chapter 12
Species: human
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight. She’s shown to have a bit of a fascination with Todd Allison and there are hints of a growing crush; they’re both very fond of each other and she’s never shown to have any romantic feelings towards any girls. Granted the only girl she really hangs out with is Hana, but it’s safe to assume her romantic attractions are towards men.
History:Not much is really known about Petunia prior to the start of the series, with brief snippets of her past shown through flashbacks and one chapter. What is known is that she lived with her parents, her older brother Elijah, and their adoptive brother Meredith in Peth, Australia, and that the series itself takes place in 1921. She liked to tag along with them wherever they went, up to and including Melbourne, Australia when they were older and left her behind. With the encouragement of her more liberal minded aunt, Petunia cut her hair boyishly short, crossdressed as a man, and fled from Perth to the other side of the country to Melbourne, intent on getting a job and proving to her brothers that she could make it on her own in Melborune. However due to being Aboriginal, getting a job was nearly impossible and Petunia was denied at every turn. Though she managed to meet Todd Allison after trying to pay in half-pennies for her ticket, the two were not on friendly terms. At some point she met with two men, Marcus and Rolls, who told her that “the whites” would never hire her. Angry she stormed off and ran into Todd Allison, leading to an explosive confrontation on her end in which she shouted all her worries to him about being a nuisance. They sat down and talked, but after accidentally revealing her true, obviously girlish, name, Petunia panicked and fled.
It’s not known how petunia got the job she managed to get, how her and Todd Allison ended up living next door, nor how she met Hana. The start of the series begins with Petunia lamenting about how her life isn’t going the way she wants it to, when Hana urges her to use her “feminine wiles” to find out more about Todd Allison, whom Petunia admits is the only thing she finds interesting in the city of Melbourne.
When Todd Allison is kidnapped, Petunia is there to witness it, but ebfore she can think to go get help, she’d held at gunpoint by a terrifying man named Cyril. Cyril takes her to meet his boss--who turns out to be Elijah, with Meredith at his side. When he finds out t’s Todd Allison that was kidnapped on his orders, he cancels his deal with Cyril and orders him to stop it and rescue Todd Allison--giving Petunia over as his new mistress and telling him to take her with him. Forced to tag along, Petunia is roped into the rescue mission, and even forced to shoot and kill a man. In the end she manages to rescue Todd Allison and the two end up forging a rather strange relationship with Cyril.
Petunia winds up losing her job and, that same day, is invited to Cyril’s home, where she and Todd Allison (though mostly Todd) speak to Cyril. Though it’s less speaking and more, watching the two men get drunk and then Todd telling Cyril that he wants to hire him, much to the surprise of all involved. Cyril laughs, tells Todd that he better be serious, and leaves after pulling Petunias trademark hat down over her eyes, leaving it up to Petunia to drag the drunk Todd back to his apartment.
The next morning Todd is quickly ushered away by another member of the Violet Investigation Team, a team made up of a small group of men charged with finding out about a bomber in Australia, know only as ‘Violet.’ Upon overhearing this, Hana takes Petunia on an adventure to find out just what is happening by having them sneak into the Parliament House. This goes about as well as expected, with Petunia quickly being caught by Meredith and Hana kicking down another man who discovers them, grabbing Petunia, and running off as fast as they can. Either later or the next morning (it’s not clear), Petunia goes to apologize for causing so much trouble for Todd and to thank him for all he’s done, only to find Cyril there. She tries to escape into her room, but Cyril forces himself into her apartment. After a brief chat and Petunia giving him tea, she discovers that he has eaten in several days and is feeling sick; she ushers him to lay down and rest and he gives her money to get food for him. However as she leaves, Todd comes up the stairs and tries to talk to her. Cyril quickly makes sure they’re all aware that he’s in her room and that she’d going on an errand for him.
Cyril and petunia end up waiting in Todd’s apartment, with Todd acting increasingly odd. She soon finds out that Cyril’s there to accept Todd’s job offer and learns that it’s to steal spiridum, a neuro toxin. She then learns that Cyril’s badly bruised all over, prompting her and Todd to launch into a frenzy, asking, “WHAT DID YOU DO!?” and demanding he rest and let them help him. After shouting at them to “fuck off already!” and to knock it off, Cyril leaves. Todd apologizes for always dragging Petunia into his affairs, then asks her to have a biscuit with him.

Personality: The one word to describe Petunia on sight would simply be: “Adorable." Pretty, cute, and with a rather cheery disposition, Petunia is the kind of person you want to gather in your arms and hug. She's quirky, prone to shouting or over-reacting before she can think first. In chapter 5, upon learning that Todd Allison is being kept in the back ,she leaps into action and runs straight for the room, not registering the fact that there are still 4 dangerous, armed men alive. When two of them run out of the room, Petunia's response is to elbow one in the gut and then keep running without a second glance. She also tends to get excited easily, and it doesn’t take much to make her laugh or happy.
Petunia also has shown a very independent streak, determined not to be a nuisance to other and prove that she's capable of living on her own, as indicated by her moving to the other side of Australia to prove to her brothers that she can do it without them. Even her own fear doesn't often stop her from speaking her mind (or rather, blurting things out), as in the few occasions where she shouts at Cyril despite being terrified of him, even going so far as to scold him for either being too reckless or when he’s being a jerk. She even calls him a snake in on instance, and also compares him to a spider and a mouse.
Despite being outwardly sweet and holding quite a few mom-like qualities (chapter 12 can basically be summed up as “Todd Allison and Petunia decide to baby Cyril, as they fuss over his wounds and not eating properly”), there are also clear indications of much darker, hidden epths to her that have not been fully explored. When saving Todd Allison, after being stuck in a room with him and one of the gunwielding kidnapers, Petunia firmly tells Todd that she’s not afraid and jumps from their hiding place, shouting at the gunman to drop his weapon or she’ll shoot. Though he tries to lecture her that she should know exactly how he feels, Petunia shouts that she doesn’t, and shoots him. Though she looks surprised at herself and sad, she’s not shown to suffer any further side-effects of having killed someone afterwards, suggesting it might not be the first time. She also doesn’t bat an eyelash at the fact Cyril shows up moments later covered in blood.
Abilites: Petunia is a normal human, though she is able to handle and shoot a gun with ease and takes death pretty easily. (She's only shown yelling at Cyril that “THERE'S A DEAD GUY ON THE GROUND" not so much in disgust, but shock, watches Cyril headshot a couple guys with only a minor wince and is not shown to be suffering any side-effects from killing a man)

[The text stops and soon Petunaia’s managed to turn the webcam on, her cheeks puffed out in aggravation] WHY IS THIS SO COMPLICATED!? [She takes a deep breath and tucks her hair behind her ear, releasing the breath in a sigh.]
Sorry, I’m still figuring a lot of this out. This ‘webcam’ thing is still kind of weird too, actually. Which is what I wanted to talk about. Can someone help me out? Using the text seems pretty convenient, but I can’t seem to make it work right. How do I space the words, or erase things? And how do I punctuate?
It’d be a lot easier if it was just writing... But I guess writing letters would be even more time consuming. I guess I can just call too. But if I text then I don’t have to talk to Cyril face-to-face...
[...Did she say that out loud? Cyril’s going to hear that, isn’t he? There’s a sharp inhale and the webcam is hastily turned off]
Third Person: Deep down, Petunia was happy Cyril was here. She was even more happy that Elijah and Meredith were here; it meant this place, while unfamiliar, wasn’t terribly lonely. She had her family, familiar faces to help ease the ache of homesickness.
What she didn’t like was being married to Cyril. Honestly, she could’ve done without that; what was wrong with their landlord person to think they would’ve been a good couple!? Just thinking about it was getting her worked up, her hands balling into fists.
“ARRGHH!” Finally unable to contain it, the shout of incomprehension was let loose, Petunia grabbing at the sides ofher hat and yanking it down hard. “It doesn’t make any sense! The last person I’d ever want to be married to would be him! Even Meredith would’ve been better!’ Despite being her brother, he was, at least, adopted and was least likely to kill her. As much as she was becoming something of ‘friends’ (for a given value of ‘friend’) with Cyril, he was a very dangerous man, and Petunia wasn’t about to forget that anytime soon.
Petunia paused, realizing she didn’t quite know where she’d manage to wander off to during her minor fit, righting the hat on her hand and dropping her hands to her side. A sign for a petting zoo caught her eye, drawing her in. She could pet a giraffe!? And ride an ostrich? She was so there, happy to pay her way in and start exploring.
Quickly making her way to the nearest person, Petunia cleared her throat lightly and gave a nervous smile. “Excuse me? Who do I talk to about riding animals...?”

It’d be a lot easier if it was just writing... But I guess writing letters would be even more time consuming. I guess I can just call too. But if I text then I don’t have to talk to Cyril face-to-face...
[...Did she say that out loud? Cyril’s going to hear that, isn’t he? There’s a sharp inhale and the webcam is hastily turned off]
Third Person: Deep down, Petunia was happy Cyril was here. She was even more happy that Elijah and Meredith were here; it meant this place, while unfamiliar, wasn’t terribly lonely. She had her family, familiar faces to help ease the ache of homesickness.
What she didn’t like was being married to Cyril. Honestly, she could’ve done without that; what was wrong with their landlord person to think they would’ve been a good couple!? Just thinking about it was getting her worked up, her hands balling into fists.
“ARRGHH!” Finally unable to contain it, the shout of incomprehension was let loose, Petunia grabbing at the sides ofher hat and yanking it down hard. “It doesn’t make any sense! The last person I’d ever want to be married to would be him! Even Meredith would’ve been better!’ Despite being her brother, he was, at least, adopted and was least likely to kill her. As much as she was becoming something of ‘friends’ (for a given value of ‘friend’) with Cyril, he was a very dangerous man, and Petunia wasn’t about to forget that anytime soon.
Petunia paused, realizing she didn’t quite know where she’d manage to wander off to during her minor fit, righting the hat on her hand and dropping her hands to her side. A sign for a petting zoo caught her eye, drawing her in. She could pet a giraffe!? And ride an ostrich? She was so there, happy to pay her way in and start exploring.
Quickly making her way to the nearest person, Petunia cleared her throat lightly and gave a nervous smile. “Excuse me? Who do I talk to about riding animals...?”

Characters Name: Fujino Asagami
Age: Not stated outright; probably 16, as she's in the same school year as Azaka Kokutou.
Canon: Kara no Kyoukai
Canon Point: after the end of her story, Lingering Sense of Pain.
Species: Human
Gender: Female, physically and mentally.
Orientation: Straight. Fujino is shown to be in love with a guy, Mikiya Kokutou, and there's no suggestion in canon of her being attracted to other women.
History: Here is her Type-Moon Wiki article, though it gets one detail of her backstory wrong: it was her father who started drugging her to suppress her powers, not her stepfather.
Appearance: Here.
Personality: Fujino is a character with two sides to her. The side most see is the model young lady: kind, soft-spoken, and an excellent student. This side of Fujino is a carefully constructed mask to which she desperately clings. It began to take shape when her mother remarried; Fujino, aware that she was simply an "extra" in her stepfather's eyes, strove to be the perfect girl in order to avoid any trouble with him. She also says she worked towards that ideal for herself, genuinely wanting to become that kind of person. She was sure that being that sort of girl would protect her and bring her a better life, and dreaded the idea of anyone discovering her condition, as that would shatter her image of normality. In fact, she was so desperate to maintain that image that she never told anyone about the repeated sexual assaults she was being subjected to.
Behind the mask, however, there's something darker. When Fujino's sense of pain and supernatural powers are accidentally reawakened by her rapists, she goes on a rampage, murdering most of them, and then killing several other people as she attempts to track down the one assailant who got away. She rationalizes this in terms of taking revenge and maintaining her normal image by silencing any potential witnesses, but there's a side of her that comes to enjoy killing. Fujino remains in deep denial about this, not even realizing that she smiles when she kills until it's pointed out to her by Shiki Ryougi.
This murderous side is driven by the hollow life Fujino had been leading. With no tactile experience of the world, she had little sense of being alive, never sure of her own physical presence. When she regained that sense, it was traumatic, but also exhilarating. Her first murders were instinctive responses to that trauma, but just as she comes to crave the pain she experiences as proof she's alive, so too does she develop a taste for killing. She eventually strays from killing those with links to her assailants, sliding towards becoming a complete thrill-killer. However, her murderous side is tied so strongly to her ability to feel that it is suppressed again when she loses that sense after her battle with Shiki. Following the events of her story, Fujino is once again a "normal," quiet girl.
Abilites: Fujino has two paranormal abilities: her Mystic Eyes of Distortion, which allow her to create a telekinetic axis of rotation that twists matter around it; and a clairvoyant ability that allows her to use her telekinesis on things not in her direct line of sight. Both of these will, of course, be capped away by her arrival in Holly Heights. Other than that, she's a fairly normal (if disabled) girl, especially now that she's not dying of appendicitis.
Other: Going from the FAQ, it looks like non-disease disabilities can be retained. I'd like to keep Fujino's lack of sensation, as it's a pretty important aspect of her character.
SAMPLES
First Person: *Fujino took a deep breath to steady herself as she flipped open her phone. Apparently, using a cell phone for video conversations was normal nowadays. It made her nervous, projecting her face to so many people, but if it was a normal thing to do, she couldn't back down from it!*
*And so, a feed comes on, showing Fujino smiling a friendly (if a bit anxious) smile.*
Ah . . . well, there's a big literature test coming up, you know? And . . . it's a bit of a weak subject for me. So I was wondering if anyone would like to study together for it? If not, that's fine, but--ah, let me know!
*She ends the feed, breathing out a sigh of relief. There. That had gone . . . all right, probably! Though she could've stood to be a little calmer, she berated herself. Still, there was no way anyone would suspect anything about her from just that . . .*
Third Person: Fujino knew it was probably strange for her to think this way, but she liked it in Holly Heights. She had been in town for a few days now, and her interest in returning home was starting to waver. At first, she had been as startled and disturbed as any new arrival, if not more so: she had some experience with being abducted, after all. She couldn't help but be frightened at the possibility that she had been targeted again. But as she learned about the place and grew accustomed to its routine, that anxiety had slipped away. Holly Heights was just so . . . normal, she mused as she walked to school, and it gave her the chance to be normal too. No one knew her here; no one had heard all the rumors about her and those awful murders. Needless to say, no one had any idea she'd actually committed them. There were people she missed from home, of course, but the quiet anonymity Holly Heights afforded her made her happy. At last, she could be the person she'd always wanted to be.
And so, the early morning found her stepping through the gates of the high school, smiling and nodding to the teachers and fellow students she passed. Distracted by greeting a teacher, she failed to notice that she was on a collision course with another student until it was far too late, blinking in surprise as she suddenly found herself lying on the ground, staring up at the clear sky. Only when she saw the person she'd run into kneeling over her, offering her a hand, did she realize what had happened. Oh no. Had they noticed? Was it obvious she wasn't in any pain? She made a show of wincing a bit as she took their hand, insisting she was all quite all right . . . while silently praying to herself that she hadn't given herself away.

Characters Name: Gen 'Musashi' Takekura
Age: 19
Canon: Eyeshield 21
Canon Point: Chapter 333
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation:Football Not explicitly stated in canon; for housing purposes, Musashi's pragmatic enough to not really care whether he ends up rooming with a dude or a lady. It's not as if they're really married, after all.
History: @wikia!
Appearance: Despite his youth, Musashi looks at least 10 years older than his actual age. Seriously, look at this old man.
Personality: Maybe the easiest way to describe Musashi is as Team Dad, but that's also where it gets complicated. What kind of dad is he? Certainly not the honey-I'm-home, hey-kids-dad-got-you-something-cool! sort of figure. He's very much his own father's son: blunt, hard-nosed, and stoic. He's also supportive, pragmatic, and self-sacrificing to a fault.
To begin with, his position as kicker, while crucial, is a support role more than anything; when the rest of the team has busted their asses getting over the line, it's Musashi's turn to step in and give them that little boost. He doesn't have to be around all the time to make a difference, he just turns up when they need him the most. This is mirrored by his return to high school football: with the Devilbats down too many points to get by on touchdowns alone, along comes Musashi to help turn the tide, breaking his year-and-a-half hiatus from the game.
The sacrificial support pillar is also a role he takes on off the field. In fact, it's the reason he spent so long away from his friends and their beloved game, dropping out of high school to take over foremanship of his family's construction company after his father collapsed and had to be hospitalised long-term. But Musashi's a pretty tender-hearted guy; any time he sacrifices himself, he'll try and make himself into the bad guy first so nobody worries about the pain it causes him. For his parents, when he quit school, he deliberately turned delinquent to get kicked out so they would 'give up on him', smoking in the school hallway: he didn't want them to worry about him missing his youth or friends. When the Devilbats' quarterback, Hiruma, got literally broken on the field of play, Musashi was ready to take the role himself and scathingly told the other volunteers that they weren't physically strong enough for the role: he didn't want anybody else to get hurt. As Yukimitsu points out, "He may provoke them and become the bad guy, but the truth is he wants to take the most dangerous role for himself. Hiruma-kun, Kurita-kun, and Musashi-kun: the three of them started the American Football club. that's why Musashi-kun probably thinks it's his responsibility."
However, this isn't to say that Musashi wants to take command; he'll only do so if he's the best-qualified option available (i.e. taking over Takekura Construction). As part of the Devilbats he's always deferred to Hiruma's leadership, despite disagreeing with him vocally on several occasions. Most notably is when he goes so far as to punch the quarterback in the mouth when Hiruma insists on keeping their running back in the game despite incredible fatigue and high risk of severe, permanent injury. While the punch was revealed to be another of Hiruma's crafty ploys, Musashi's aversion to others being injured is reiterated several times. The two don't always reconcile - perhaps mirroring his own internal war of wanting to play and needing to work - so inevitably he defaults to following the lead of whoever he considers to be in charge. Most of the time, that's Hiruma. Sometimes, like when he's being told to stop letting his teammates down, it's his father. Once it's even Sena, who takes Hiruma's place as quarterback when their captain's off injured.
Indeed, that very situation presents in a nutshell when replacement-QB Sena suggests a gameplan with himself taking a ridiculous risk: Musashi comments: "I will never approve of a play for which you might get badly injured, no matter what. But you know...right now Deimon's control tower is you, Sena." He's smart enough to know that the times he most wants to pick apart the holes in some wacko plan for victory are exactly the times when he needs to follow the leader, because if they had less desperate options, they'd be using them. He just wants it to be clear that he cares for their well-being, in his own rough-edged way.
Really, he's a sensitive kind of guy, always looking out for others. Even before he rejoins the Devilbats, he's seen giving sensible advice to Sena and Monta about not slacking in their training; while he can be laconic, Musashi's not backwards about coming forwards when he has something that needs saying. He can be pretty perceptive about the abilities and mental states of his teammates, at one point delivering a fairly harsh-worded reality check to the self-deluded idiot of their team, Taki, which ends with said idiot realising his limits-- and therefore his true usefulness. Musashi even corrects Hiruma's usually-accurate assessment on one occasion, in regards to Kurita. It seems he has a natural empathy to go along with those metaphorically broad shoulders.
Musashi is, thankfully, also equipped with a rock-steady personality and the ability to calmly deal with all kinds of crap with relative ease. 'Thankfully', because for seven years now he's held company with a guy arguably crazy than any three Batman villains combined. Even moreso than Kurita, who's spent more time with Hiruma than anybody else, Musashi takes the demonic quarterback's antics in stride. At one point he even compares Hiruma's constant messing-around with guns to spinning a pencil while thinking, seemingly a little surprised that everyone else is overreacting to such a simple thing. In this way he's the perfect foil to Hiruma's overly grandiose and trigger-happy persona. His composure and focus is very difficult to shake; even when he's being charged down by one of the best players in the high school league, it doesn't affect his concentration on the task at hand.
He has a very strong loyalty to his friends and family, and his team falls under that umbrella. The responsibility this loyalty breeds can be heavy, such as his decision to quit school at 15 and work full-time in his father's stead: Musashi points out that he couldn't let the company fail because of how many mouths (their workers) they had to feed. Once he's taken on a task or responsibility, he'll complete it. Despite returning to school and football in time to fulfil his promise with Hiruma and Kurita that they'd go to the Christmas Bowl together, he doesn't go on to college or a professional football career; the promise was kept, and his other duty to the family job took back its precedence slot. In reality, Musashi was lucky he was given the chance to fulfil both.
He does go on to form his own semi-pro team (along with a few other comrades and opponents from his Deimon days) and play recreationally. For something he got into because "Hanging out with you guys [Kurita and Hiruma] seems fun" - for something he tried once to tear his mind from completely - it's clear that football's something he'll always love even if he can't make it his life.
Abilites: • Is the foreman of his father's building company, Takekura Construction, and a more-than-capablechippy carpenter;
• Should really have a degree in putting up with Hiruma's crap, let's be honest;
• He can kick a football 60 yards and build a working casino in like 5 minutes flat, what more do you want of him
Other: • Generally goes by the name 'Musashi', which is basically Hiruma's fault. Like everything always is.
• Seriously. Built a casino in like 5 minutes. I'm never going to get over this.

SAMPLES
First Person: [ It's been a few hours since Musashi found himself in his new, unwanted home, and he's already making great progress 'fixing' his assigned house. But the sun's setting and that reminds him that he's got other things to attend to, here.
Fishing out his cellphone from where he'd been temporarily using it to prop up a level, Musashi runs through the various settings available to him. Pursing his lips, he settles for plain old text; it's fitting for a plain old man, after all. He addresses the network at large: ]
where's the best place for take-out around here?
[ ...All right, maybe it's not the most exciting ice-breaker in the world, but he's hungry and not minded to cook himself anything. Hands that can construct impromptu casinos aren't necessarily suited to also constructing pizza or ramen, after all.
A few minutes later, another thought occurs; this time the text is sent privately. Part of him wishes he could see the reaction of a certain Mr H. upon its receipt. The rest of him is pretty sure he know's Hiruma's face well enough by now not to need to watch. Again, the message is terse, but telling: ] got enough for 2 teams yet?
[ Maybe he can count this as an indulgent vacation, or something like that. There's no point worrying about the old man and everyone else back home until he has more information at hand. Until then, he won't object to having some fun here and there. ]
Third Person: "...Huh."
Absently wiggling a finger in his ear as if the act would help him make sense of this, Musashi surveyed the house before him. Professional eyes took in every small detail, judging and weighing it all and seeing if it lived up to his own standards. Not bad, he decided. Of course, he could have done it better. Of course.
That was neither here nor there, though. His biggest problem wasn't the 2-millimetre gap between window frame and glazing; it was where the hell was he. Had somebody kidnapped him? Surely they wouldn't give him a house (even one that needed the front step levelling, just ever so slightly) and a car (which wasn't gonna be all that useful for carrying timber around, but he could fix that) if they were kidnapping. That didn't make sense.
Musashi shook his head. Honestly, he was trying to figure out if this was the weirdest thing to every have happened to him. After spending so long with a certain devil in disguise, his life had certainly had its interesting moments. This was eerily peaceful in comparison, if inconvenient. Besides, usually when things were Hiruma's fault, there was more cackling and things exploding. It was like the guy's psycho calling card.
He flipped through the phone, though, and wasn't all that surprised to find Hiruma was in there. Maybe Theory A: Blame The Devil was right on the money. At any rate, it was one familiar thing in a place that looked like an American TV series more than anything else. Musashi would pay the cackling quarterback a housecall and see if he had any useful answers.
Right after he fixed this place up a bit. Starting with the cornice. No; actually...
The pink flamingos on his front lawn made very satisfying pak! sounds as he punted them hard, right into the pool across the road. There. Now he'd fix the cornice.

Despite returning to school and football in time to fulfil his promise with Hiruma and Kurita that they'd go to the Christmas Bowl together, he doesn't go on to college or a professional football career; the promise was kept, and his other duty to the family job took back its precedence slot. In reality, Musashi was lucky he was given the chance to fulfil both.
He does go on to form his own semi-pro team (along with a few other comrades and opponents from his Deimon days) and play recreationally. For something he got into because "Hanging out with you guys [Kurita and Hiruma] seems fun" - for something he tried once to tear his mind from completely - it's clear that football's something he'll always love even if he can't make it his life.
Abilites: • Is the foreman of his father's building company, Takekura Construction, and a more-than-capable
• Should really have a degree in putting up with Hiruma's crap, let's be honest;
• He can kick a football 60 yards and build a working casino in like 5 minutes flat, what more do you want of him
Other: • Generally goes by the name 'Musashi', which is basically Hiruma's fault. Like everything always is.
• Seriously. Built a casino in like 5 minutes. I'm never going to get over this.

SAMPLES
First Person: [ It's been a few hours since Musashi found himself in his new, unwanted home, and he's already making great progress 'fixing' his assigned house. But the sun's setting and that reminds him that he's got other things to attend to, here.
Fishing out his cellphone from where he'd been temporarily using it to prop up a level, Musashi runs through the various settings available to him. Pursing his lips, he settles for plain old text; it's fitting for a plain old man, after all. He addresses the network at large: ]
where's the best place for take-out around here?
[ ...All right, maybe it's not the most exciting ice-breaker in the world, but he's hungry and not minded to cook himself anything. Hands that can construct impromptu casinos aren't necessarily suited to also constructing pizza or ramen, after all.
A few minutes later, another thought occurs; this time the text is sent privately. Part of him wishes he could see the reaction of a certain Mr H. upon its receipt. The rest of him is pretty sure he know's Hiruma's face well enough by now not to need to watch. Again, the message is terse, but telling: ] got enough for 2 teams yet?
[ Maybe he can count this as an indulgent vacation, or something like that. There's no point worrying about the old man and everyone else back home until he has more information at hand. Until then, he won't object to having some fun here and there. ]
Third Person: "...Huh."
Absently wiggling a finger in his ear as if the act would help him make sense of this, Musashi surveyed the house before him. Professional eyes took in every small detail, judging and weighing it all and seeing if it lived up to his own standards. Not bad, he decided. Of course, he could have done it better. Of course.
That was neither here nor there, though. His biggest problem wasn't the 2-millimetre gap between window frame and glazing; it was where the hell was he. Had somebody kidnapped him? Surely they wouldn't give him a house (even one that needed the front step levelling, just ever so slightly) and a car (which wasn't gonna be all that useful for carrying timber around, but he could fix that) if they were kidnapping. That didn't make sense.
Musashi shook his head. Honestly, he was trying to figure out if this was the weirdest thing to every have happened to him. After spending so long with a certain devil in disguise, his life had certainly had its interesting moments. This was eerily peaceful in comparison, if inconvenient. Besides, usually when things were Hiruma's fault, there was more cackling and things exploding. It was like the guy's psycho calling card.
He flipped through the phone, though, and wasn't all that surprised to find Hiruma was in there. Maybe Theory A: Blame The Devil was right on the money. At any rate, it was one familiar thing in a place that looked like an American TV series more than anything else. Musashi would pay the cackling quarterback a housecall and see if he had any useful answers.
Right after he fixed this place up a bit. Starting with the cornice. No; actually...
The pink flamingos on his front lawn made very satisfying pak! sounds as he punted them hard, right into the pool across the road. There. Now he'd fix the cornice.

Characters Name: Garry
Age: 20
Canon: Ib
Canon Point: Post-Promise of Reunion ending.
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: Bisexual
History:
Garry woke up early one morning to go to see the Guertena exhibit...why not? Garry loved art. Galleries were boring but, hey, maybe he could find some inspiration?
Yep, boring. Garry was about to leave but then he got locked in? And all the guests were gone? This was weird, what was going on? Garry went to try to find someone when...
He landed himself in an alternate gallery called, "The Fabricated World". Which was filled with live incantations of Guertena's works. Scared and lost, Garry found a blue rose. How real looking and pretty. He was attacked by "The Lady in Blue" (which in the gallery, the real one, you'd see the Lady In Red obviously not "animated"). His rose got taken and the monster started ripping the petals. The roses in this place represented the spirit. If all the petals were gone, you were as good as dead. With every petal ripped, Garry grew more injured. He was trying to get it back (he even got a key) when the pain was too great from the wounds that appeared as every petal was ripped. He collapsed.
This is where the main character, a young girl named Ib, finds him lying there. In the same exact situation. Except she was so much younger. She finds his rose with his key, and heals it by using the vases filled with water (the health restoration in the game). She returns it, and Garry's wounds left. Garry and Ib introduced and Garry vowed to protect her with his life basically. They were getting out of there, he was gonna make sure of it.
After many bouts of fear (more on Garry's expressive end), bonding, and puzzles; they ended up running in a long hallway. Garry was growing more concerned for Ib since the gallery got to Ib by showing a portrait of her parents who she was separated from. But Garry turned away one second and then Ib collapsed on the floor. Oh no! He wrapped her up in his coat, picked her up, and made a run for it. The monsters can't open doors, so he finds a safe empty room for them to rest. He set Ib down gently. He let her rest.
Ib awoke, and then a concerned Garry asked how she was. He felt so bad...keeping his eyes off her. She had a nightmare, the poor thing seeing such frightful sights, so Garry kindly offered the candy in his pocket. Idle chit chat happened and they were getting even closer as friends.
When Ib was feeling better, they left. After some more bonding and finding books children shouldn't read since it was about SEX, they run into someone else! A little blonde girl, maybe around Ib's age? Her name was Mary. And she had a yellow rose. Garry and Ib invited her in the group. They reach a room that was filled with hideous dolls. It repulsed Garry but Mary and Ib thought they were cute?? Ib saw bunnies in this room, proving Garry saw reality and Ib was hallucinating. They were about to leave when they got separated by vines from a painting outside. The were forced to go their separate ways to find a way to get back together again. After taking too long as Ib and Mary went to a different room, a worried Garry was forced to return to the only room HE could go to. THAT room. The dolls. They were watching, he was sure of it. He found a secret passage and tried find his way when he learned that Mary was a liar and she was a painting too here.
Garry grew worried for Ib.
He rushed to find a way out when he got himself in another doll room, as he was trying to find balls of paint (they were doing conjoined puzzles, switching player characters back and forth solving them simultaneously). These things have been following him the whole while, trying to have him stay and play with them. He was really hating these dolls, they were freaking him out. The lock him in the room, and Garry frantically finds the key and escapes before the dolls tried to make them their permanent guest. He runs up the stairs to find that Mary had Ib cornered. After a struggle, he managed to knock her down unconscious. He felt bad about it but Mary was obviously dangerous, and her rose was even fake.
They ran further down into a sketchbook world, it looked like it was drawn in cryaon. Everything looked like a child's drawing. Ib was growing worried, so Garry (in an attempt to cheer her up) makes more small talk. He promised her that when they left, Garry was going to treat her to macaroons. Because they WILL make it out. He promised it. When they reached a "toy box", they were pushing into it by Mary. They woke up and were in a large room filled with toys and crayon drawings. Ib was separated from her rose, he could tell when Ib woke him up from the fall. She was pale. They manage to find it, but there was only one petal left. Garry shielded her from the animated monsters in the room as they made their way out.
They find a room shielded with vines. Garry's lighter, which had proven useful numerous times in the past, was used here too to rid of the vines. The group was curious, they had to see what was behind here. They saw a ripped painting surrounded be yellow roses. Toys were there in the room too. This was Mary's painting. This was Mary's room. Suddenly Mary enters and yells at them, trying to make them to leave by force. And by force, I mean kill them with her palette knife. They made a break for the back as Mary chased them. They only has seconds, or else they would die. Garry was not going to let her get to Ib. Never.
...
They burned Mary's painting with Garry's lighter to save themselves and they watched her burn in ashes with a pained look on her face.
Afterwords, Garry found a book titled "How to Make Friends" around Mary's things.
...Mary.
He looked at his hand, it was bleeding from the glass that shattered from the painting when they burned it. Suddenly, Ib took out her handkerchief and gave it to Garry. Lace? He would surely soil it...but Ib was insistent. He was hurt afterall, and he protected her loads of times.
Garry couldn't refuse it, his heart was warmed as he took her handkerchief. They traveled to what looked like a dark version of the normal gallery. They reached a painting similar to the Fabricated World painting in the gallery only the imagery looked just like the normal gallery! Childish looking BUT. Garry took no chances, he jumped in and waited for Ib so he could pull her up. After a trust battle to which the gallery tried to fool Ib with a fake version of her mother, she took his hand. THEY DID IT!
In a flash of light Garry found himself back. What was he doing? He didn't remember, huh. Suddenly a little lady came to him as he looked at the rose statue. The statue made him feel...odd. She asked him what he was doing. Had he...seen this girl before? Brunette, red eyes. "Ib." That name just came out of nowhere. He turned to leave but then something was in his pocket...a soiled lace handkerchief with the name "Ib" on it.
He remembered.
After a tearful reunion, Garry had to leave. Oh but there was so much to talk about.
Garry told her they will see each other again. He will clean the soiled handkerchief and he will return.
He won't forget the promise he made to his new friend.

Garry told her they will see each other again. He will clean the soiled handkerchief and he will return.
He won't forget the promise he made to his new friend.
Appearance: Garry is standing at 6'3" and at 150lbs. Skinny boy. His hair is naturally purple, but a dye accident at a salon gave him his black strands, which is basically permanently damaged hair (cut it, it grows back that way...so weird). He wears very simple clothes, but he loves his long dark navy-blue designed-to-be-torn coat (which is old anyway). His eyes are a very dark hue of blue.
Personality:
Upon knowing him, it won't take anyone long to see that Garry is an effeminate man. He has a refined speech, educated way about him, and an expansive vocabulary. He is very gentle in appearance and his manners. He grew into that, and he didn't care what anyone thought. He indeed talks like a lady. And well...he also has an intense love for the arts and fashion design (quite talented at both; but his main skill is in painting; though he loves to draw and plan out clothes). Next to that, he is sweet. The SWEETEST man. He will be there to lift your spirits, make you feel good about yourself and feel good about life and everything. Especially when the going is tough and things look bleak. He will do his best to smile for you if it makes that frown go upside down. A fan of the small talk method too to easy up any mood. He is basically a brother figure of sorts. He is a very thoughtful and selfless man, he always puts others in front of himself.
Despite his cool and gentle nature though, he does get scared easily. He can easily be made to jump and get freaked out. So yeah, that calm cool blue attitude can indeed leave him. When that happens, he can frustrated, angry, and sometimes even have bouts of immaturity. So it depends really whether or not he handles a situation okay. But more often than not, he gets his act together. Especially when someone needs him to be there and help.
Garry is mostly a social butterfly, but he hates over excitement. He likes things calm and nice. He likes art, he likes books, he likes a soft enriching atmosphere most of the time (maybe with some coffee or tea, yes?). He tries to avoid conflict and stressful things. Unless if obviously forced. He's not the denial kind of guy when that happens. You just won't see him play extreme sports or crazy things manly men do.
Lastly, Garry is kinda..."mom-ish". Meaning he has that love and compassion for people, but he is prone to nagging. Especially to children (NO READING ABOUT SEX UNTIL YOU'RE OLDER YOUNG LADY HRRMPH). He wants to be the responsible one after all, and look out for people. Giving any guidance he could, and all that. He IS an adult afterall.
Abilites: HE HAS...NONE! He is as normal as a human you can get.
Other:
[MOSTLY HEADCANON STUFF BUT...]
- Garry is non athletic. But to make up for it, he is distinctly talented at the arts. Especially painting. Oh my god, painting. He was in college for the fine arts until he came here. Minor in fashion design.
- Garry is a good cook too. He loves to do so, even. Especially baking.
- Doesn't like dolls. Well okay. Just those dolls that Mary carry around.
- Since he is from the best ending, he loves Ib as a little sister/best friend. Mary...he was forced to kill her, and has eternal guilt. Just wait until the universes get mixed up.
- Garry's real family are loving and wonderful, middle classed artistic folk. His dad was a business man who loved music (Garry was given an acoustic guitar for his 20th birthday, he can play small songs on it but not much else), the mother was the fashion nut who was happy to be able to talk about it to her son, and her grandfather was his painting inspiration (he got his skills from him, he was taught). He loves them very much but he shares a strong kinship with his grandfather because of his intense love for painting. As such, he gets sappy when talking about him. He gave Garry his trusty lighter, which is old and low on oil (an object he had on him in the actual game).
- That lighter is used. Garry is a smoker. But he is trying to slowly quit. He can't help the urge sometimes though so, yeah. But he doesn't like to smoke when surrounded by people. He has courtesy. No one should be exposed to second hand...especially children. So for the most part, he tries to calm his habitual nerves with lemon hard candy (also what he carried in the game, and he also has one or more pieces on hand).
- Garry's taste in food is odd. He generally loves "SWEETER" things. But not so sweet and/or coated in sugar or preservatives, that stuff is gross. That and overly rich sweets. He hates fried, oily food and can take only very little spice. He actually also doesn't eat much meat (white meat is usually good and okay), but he loves fish and other seafood. He is an avid tea and coffee lover and often loves to have whatever is seasonal. In alcohol, he loves wine and fru-fru drinks (like the Bloody Mary).
- After the gallery, he is a bit sensitive to the subject. On galleries. He would stray from visiting them for a bit. He also hates horror movies.

...Hmm?
My this. This certainly is a change of scenery. Surely I'm dreaming, I wasn't here before.
Ah but...This is really a dream though, right?
There's no point in freaking out, is there? This place looks rather...normal, actually. Not really all that scary. Kind of quaint and peaceful.
Hmmm, perhaps I need a bit of clarification before I even begin to panic.
[He is trying VERY hard not to panic, as you can see.]

Characters Name: Aladdin
Age: 12
Canon: Magi: Labyrinth of Magic
Canon Point: End of Chapter 148
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: He's kind of young but has definitely displayed an interest in women? It's probably never going to be pertinent but we'll say straight-leaning unknown for now.
History: http://magi.wikia.com/wiki/Aladdin
Appearance: See the picture with the link above, it actually fits my canon point perfectly!
Personality:
Aladdin is the titular magi of his series, one of the heroes of the story, and one of the most powerful wizards in his world. That's a lot of pressure for one kid, but he handles it with aplomb.

Surrounded by kings, warriors, sages, and other powerful figures, it would be easy for Aladdin to throw his lot in with any number of people. It speaks to who Aladdin is and wants to be at his core that he picks his friends and loved ones first every time.

Characters Name: Aladdin
Age: 12
Canon: Magi: Labyrinth of Magic
Canon Point: End of Chapter 148
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: He's kind of young but has definitely displayed an interest in women? It's probably never going to be pertinent but we'll say straight-leaning unknown for now.
History: http://magi.wikia.com/wiki/Aladdin
Appearance: See the picture with the link above, it actually fits my canon point perfectly!
Personality:
Aladdin is the titular magi of his series, one of the heroes of the story, and one of the most powerful wizards in his world. That's a lot of pressure for one kid, but he handles it with aplomb.
In many ways Aladdin is surprisingly normal for a 12 year old kid. He's friendly, enthusiastic about adventuring, has a voracious appetite, and is a little bit of pervert when it comes to beautiful women.

When Aladdin woke up he realized he didn't remember going to sleep. He had been in front of the rest of his school, casting a spell to pass his exams. He remembered controlling a great pillar of fire all around him, the cries of his classmates surprise. It was possible it had drained his energy, prompting him to pass out, but based on how he felt now that didn't seem right. Looking up, he saw a clear, normal sky, but not a view he was accustomed to.
As he surveyed his surroundings from the strange seat he had been placed in, his confusion grew. The street was still, calm, neat, and weirdly uniform. Every home looked the same like a bunch of models or toys lined up by a determined kid. If he had come here on his own, he would have found it interesting or at least something worth finding out about. As it was currently, he merely found each new feature of the place to be unnerving. Then he realized something even stranger, even if it was only strange for him.
There was no Rukh. None at all. Aladdin couldn't see the flow of energy around him, not a single hint of the life energy that populated all cities, towns, and even the most remote homes and sanctuaries. It wasn't possible, it was almost enough to make him want to cry for a moment. Instead, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Letting his senses rest he continued to slowly inhale and exhale.
After a moment he opened his eyes and smiled. This place certainly didn't seem to be abandoned, even though something was dampening his magic and his connection to the Rukh. That meant that the energies were all around him although they remained unseen. Comforted by this, he rose from his chair. People would have answers if he asked the right questions. Also, they would hopefully have some kind of tasty food.

The easiest way to put this is that I don't see Nuriko as putting much focus on the gender of those he comes to care about, rather he's interested in the goodness of the person and their soul. This is why he falls for two wholly good, well meaning people in canon though their genders are completely different.

When trying to describe who Nuriko is and why he is the way he is it's important to understand where he comes from, and why he's chosen to live the life he has. As mentioned in the link for his history, Nuriko lost his younger sister, Kourin, in a tragic accident that resulted in her dying. Even at the ages of 9 and 10, the two were practically twins, and very much inseperatable. He was the one with her when the accident happened, and likely blames himself harshly for running ahead of her just before the accident. This was such a traumatic event for him, that in his grief he decided to live the life she would have wanted to live for her. In deciding this, he proceeded through life making the choices he made while keeping in mind what he thought she would have wanted. This ultimately led to him taking a place in Emperor Hotohori's harem as his sister Kourin. In his heart he truly believed this is what she would have wanted, and Hotohori -- The Emperor -- was the kind of man she would have fallen in love with so he strived to make this come true for Kourin.
There is the issue of his request to Miaka regarding wishes. He does, in fact, request that one of the wishes that Miaka asks of Suzaku be to turn him into a female. However, believe this is more so for the dream of living as Kourin rather than a true feeling that he himself is a woman. Taking all of this into account, I feel it's more true to the character to admit he dealt with the trauma of losing his sister in a unique way that helped him process his feelings, rather than saying he himself identifies as being female. Because he felt so strongly for his sister he lived as she would have, in order to give Kourin some semblance of remembrance that he felt she deserved. This however, does not mean that over the course of living as Kourin he himself did not develop feelings for Hotohori, as evidenced by his own admission to Miaka that he does indeed harbor feelings for him.
Simply understanding where Nuriko comes from in relation to his past, it's easy to understand how dedicated and loyal he is to those he cares about. While it wasn't a wholly healthy reaction to his sister’s death, he was dedicated to having her live through him to a point that many people would not be able to do themselves or even comprehend. This aspect of his personality is further illustrated by his dedication towards Miaka, once their relationship has grown from rivals to friends and more. There is a point he admits to himself that in addition to how he feels about Hotohori he may also have feelings for Miaka -- but at the same time he would never, ever act upon them because he so fully supports and understands the love that she has with Tamahome. It would be impossible for him to step in the middle of that, considering how important both Miaka; as his priestess and friend, and Tamahome; as one of his true friends. Instead he is more than content to be a protector and a brotherly type towards Miaka instead.
All in all, the easiest way to describe Nuriko is the way Tamahome does. "Nuriko wasn't a man or a woman. Nuriko was... Nuriko."
Springing from Nuriko's dedication, comes Nuriko's intense and almost self destructive desire to protect those he cares about. What he wants most is to see the people he cares about happy and safe. It's very clear how important Miaka and Tamahome are to him when he constantly expresses concern about the state of their relationship -- even going as far as to realize how upset Miaka is when Tamahome is missing, which is something Miaka had not realized yet herself at the time. This drive to protect people -- and at the same time avoid another loss like the loss he experienced with Kourin, is also what drives him to face Ashitare alone. Because he sees Ashitare as a danger to Miaka he dives in to try and remove the threat despite the fact that his own life is likely to be forfeit.
Despite the dedication and loyality he displays, Nuriko did take some development to get there. When he first appears he is still living as Kourin, a courtier in Hotohori's harem. He is massively jealous of the attention Miaka receives from Hotohori, and reacts in a childish manner -- he decides to try and take the man he perceives as the one she cares about, Tamahome. In addition to this he does play a nasty trick on Miaka, sending her out to look for a pearl earring that he hasn't actually lost, in order to teach Miaka a lesson. He does however slowly mature, primarily because of his interactions with Miaka and the growing friendship between the two of them. As he fully steps into the role of being a Suzaku Seishi, his friendship and duty combined seems to help push his childishness and spoiled behavior to the wayside. This does not mean that sometimes this aspect of his personality does not squeak through, in fact he often teases the other seishi and Miaka included, albeit in a much less malicious way considering their friendship has blossomed.
Nuriko is quite energetic, this aspect of his personality being displayed in his playful manner towards the other seishi, as well as when reacting in frustration or anger. Nuriko is not beyond tearing off a piece of the palace wall in order to sling it at a departing assassin. In order to escape judgment he does tend to put on a playful act. "Oh my! Look at what he did to the palace!!" Of course, everyone else knew who exactly ruined the palace wall. More or less, Nuriko can be considered as the outgoing type as a result, meaning that he gets along with others of a similar personality. This is likely why he got along so well with Tasuki, who has a loud, outgoing and somewhat obnoxious personality that complements Nuriko's own likewise outgoing as well as teasing and personable one.
Abilites:
Normally, someone like Nuriko would be a normal human being. However, Nuriko, along with others were chosen at birth to bear the duty of being one of the seven "seishi" or warriors destined to protect the girl that would be come their country's priestess. With this duty comes special abilities in order to perform their task as well as a symbol that identifies them as such. Nuriko's symbol is the chinese character for "willow" located on the right side of his chest.
The ability given to him as a result of being one of the seven warriors of Konan is that of super strength. He is able to easily break through walls and tear off parts of buildings effortlessly, which can prove to be quite humorous considering his outward appearance and build. This strength is not something that he has a full grasp on in canon, and sometimes (*mostly* accidentally) he'll forget the scope of his strength which usually ends in broken things or bruised friends.
This strength is amplified by two bracletes he recieves from Taiitsukun on their journey. At will, these bracelets turn into gauntlets when Nuriko is fighting or doing something particularly physically taxing. In particular, he uses these bracelets when lifting a giant boulder from in front of the Genbu shrine.

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Hayato Gokudera.
Age: 15 (years).
Canon: http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Hayato_Gokudera
Canon Point: Chapter 408, second to last page of the manga.
Species: Human.
Gender: Male both mentally and physically.
Orientation: FILL THIS OUT IF YOU HAVE A CHARACTER THAT IS OVER 18, NO BUTS. I will be roleplaying Gokudera as a straight male. Although he shows only affection to his leader, and gets stomach aches when he sees his older sister, he treats both males and females in general equally (as seen with the nicknames given to both Haru and Yamamoto. Although they’re more of insults than anything.)
History: http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Hayato_Gokudera
Appearance: http://images.wikia.com/reborn/images/8/8b/Hayto_Gokudera.PNG
Personality:
Gokudera is hot headed, above all else. As seen as when he usually loses his temper when he’s talking with anyone who isn’t his beloved boss, Tsuna. He usually ends his sentences with the suffix “-daze” which, in Japan, is grouped with males with the “wild” personality. He has a habit of giving nicknames (which are more like insults) to people he argues with on a daily basis, as seen when he calls Yamamoto “baseball-brain”, Lambo “Stupid Cow” and Haru “Stupid Woman”.
Although hot-headed, he seems to like children, despite his claims (Fuuta’s ranking ranked him as one of the highest mafioso who liked children). He’s also more of a thinking, above all things, and combat is something he has to work on. This is shown with how even though he has a rebellious look and attitude, he scores one hundreds on all of test at school, and has stated himself that he ‘works better with paper and pencil’. When trying to teach Tsuna how to swim, he presented a white board with mathematical symbols on it, getting the perfect angles for how his arms should be bent and how high he should kick so the Tenth Vongola Boss could swim 15 meters. It makes him mad how people like Yamamoto and Ryohei are just a natural when it comes to fighting, and can act on their abilities, while he has to think things out.
Mercy is something that is alien to him, and it is when Tsuna saves him (Gokudera had tried to kill to Tsuna, but messed up, dropping a bomb near his feet that would have killed him if Tsuna had put it out first), it is the first time he’s ever experienced it. It is because of that, he decides to follow the young leader no matter where he’ll go. The reason it’s so foreign to him is because Gokudera is a ‘lone wolf’. For being the illegitimate child in the mafia world (something that is not tolerated), he was kicked out of every place he went to after running away, no one wanting a ‘mix breed’ in their family. He got into fights whenever he went. It is also because of this, that he has nearly no restraint, taking little comments as threats, and is ready to throw dynamite at anyone who even thinks badly of Tsuna or poses a threat to the family. It also because Tsuna was the first one to show him mercy, that he is so loyal to him.
He is not a person who trusts or comes to like people easily. The only person he trusts completely is Tsuna. Although since he does not want to burden his beloved boss with his problems, he usually goes to Reborn, someone who he admires and wish to become as well of a hitman as he is, so he can serve Tsuna in a more profitable way. He is the type of person who learns from his mistake-a trial and error sort of way. He does do something, such as not living up to the Tenth’s expectation or not completing a mission, he constantly thinks about it, turning it over and over inside his head so he has no choice but to learn. But because of that he never makes the same mistake twice.
His pride is being the right hand man of the Vongola Decimo. Throw as many insults as you want at him, he won’t take it to heart unless you’re someone he cares about. But insult his boss, and he’ll be sure to throw at least ten sticks of dynamite your way. He takes and insults, threats, and even glares towards the boss as his own. Gokudera does not like backing down from any challenge. He sees it as being weak and discriminating the name of the Vongola. But, he does realize that his boss dislikes fighting, and because of that, he will only throw a punch (or a stick of dynamite) if someone else attacks him first. Or if the insult the Tenth enough to piss him off that that level. Restraint is something that he is not very familiar with, and tends to go all out in all battles, making up things as he goes along if he has to to win.
Because he can not constantly stop thinking about how his regrets, he always does his best to make up for them. Gokudera goes all out and a little over the top with the simplist tasks in an attempt to amend the mistakes he has made and show Tsuna he’s fit to be his right hand man.
Gokudera sees everyone older than him as an enemy. This comes from the fact that he was rejected and put down by nearly every adult he has come in contact with for being a “half-breed mutt”. And the fact his older sister poisoned him everyday with his cooking due to his father’s encouragement since the piano playings he gave were “new” and “unique”. People who are younger than him he just finds annoying, although with time he comes to view them as a younger sibling (as seen with the stupid cow brat Lambo), but he’ll never admit it outright. The only person who’s older than him that he doesn’t view as an enemy and someone he trusts, is Dr.Shamal, who although he seems to openly hate, is the only father figure he’s ever had in life.
Abilites:
Dynamite: Gokudera always carries sticks of dynamite with him, all all shapes and sizes for any case. They’re concealed on all parts of his body.
Sistema C.A.I: It’s a series of box weapons (something that stores any weapons for animals that are created for the purpose of fighting, to things like chains) and rings that allows him to control and utilize the five flames within his body.
Skull Rings: They’re part of the Sistema C.A.I, that allows him to control the rain, lightening, cloud, and sun flames within his body.
Storm Cat: His Box Weapon animal, who he named Uri. The two have a love-hate relationship but Uri won’t let anyone harm Gokudera besides himself.
Combio Forma: G’s Archery: Uri combines with the Flame Arrow to create an arrow of bow, and has the roman numeral number for ‘one’ on it, showing it’s connection to the Primo Vongola Famiglia’s Storm Guardian, G. . In version X form, it has strap of dynamite, while forming armor on his legs and a single arm. It also gives him sunglasses and a pipe-shaped igniter to ignite his dynamite.
Motorcycle/Airbike: Simple enough. He uses it to travel long distance without having to use flames, therefore he is undetected.
Buckle Of The Storm: Version X: An upgrade of the Vongola Ring combined with Uri.
Other: Gokudera is ambidextrous.
SAMPLES
First Person:
[ Taking out the cellphone, he quickly checked the time before dialing a number, hitting the call button afterwords. Having no choice but to wait for someone to pick up, he let out a small “Tch” after it went to voice mail. ]
Damn baseball brain….the first I actually need to get a hold of him and he doesn’t pick up. What’s the fucking point of having a cellphone if you’re not going to use it?
[ Gokudera was obviously not happy. His boss had ordered him to gather all the guardians to his house, and he had saved getting the most annoying one for last. Having no choice but to go retrieve him in person, the male began to make his way to the Rain Guardian’s household. ]
He better be at home. I won’t forgive him for causing any hindrance to the tenth!
Third Person:
Gokudera sat in class, looking out the window with a bored expression on his face as the teacher ranted about something he had learned years ago, and had no interest in relearning, not at least without the Tenth here. Sighing he stood up, ignoring the teacher’s shock remarks as they ordered him to return to his seat. Walking out of class he pulled out cellphone, calling Tsuna, and slamming it shut with frustration after receiving no answer.
“Damn! Where is Juudaime?” Last time this had happened, the Kokuyo gang had made it self known to the Vongola and the others. Had a rival famiglia raged war against him? At this thought, Gokudera began to pick up pace, running out of the building and in the direction of the male’s house. He only slowed down his pace once he reached it, opening the door without knocking.
“JUUDAIME! ARE YOU OKAY?” The Storm Guardian yelled, worried.

It makes him mad how people like Yamamoto and Ryohei are just a natural when it comes to fighting, and can act on their abilities, while he has to think things out.
Mercy is something that is alien to him, and it is when Tsuna saves him (Gokudera had tried to kill to Tsuna, but messed up, dropping a bomb near his feet that would have killed him if Tsuna had put it out first), it is the first time he’s ever experienced it. It is because of that, he decides to follow the young leader no matter where he’ll go. The reason it’s so foreign to him is because Gokudera is a ‘lone wolf’. For being the illegitimate child in the mafia world (something that is not tolerated), he was kicked out of every place he went to after running away, no one wanting a ‘mix breed’ in their family. He got into fights whenever he went. It is also because of this, that he has nearly no restraint, taking little comments as threats, and is ready to throw dynamite at anyone who even thinks badly of Tsuna or poses a threat to the family. It also because Tsuna was the first one to show him mercy, that he is so loyal to him.
He is not a person who trusts or comes to like people easily. The only person he trusts completely is Tsuna. Although since he does not want to burden his beloved boss with his problems, he usually goes to Reborn, someone who he admires and wish to become as well of a hitman as he is, so he can serve Tsuna in a more profitable way. He is the type of person who learns from his mistake-a trial and error sort of way. He does do something, such as not living up to the Tenth’s expectation or not completing a mission, he constantly thinks about it, turning it over and over inside his head so he has no choice but to learn. But because of that he never makes the same mistake twice.
His pride is being the right hand man of the Vongola Decimo. Throw as many insults as you want at him, he won’t take it to heart unless you’re someone he cares about. But insult his boss, and he’ll be sure to throw at least ten sticks of dynamite your way. He takes and insults, threats, and even glares towards the boss as his own. Gokudera does not like backing down from any challenge. He sees it as being weak and discriminating the name of the Vongola. But, he does realize that his boss dislikes fighting, and because of that, he will only throw a punch (or a stick of dynamite) if someone else attacks him first. Or if the insult the Tenth enough to piss him off that that level. Restraint is something that he is not very familiar with, and tends to go all out in all battles, making up things as he goes along if he has to to win.
Because he can not constantly stop thinking about how his regrets, he always does his best to make up for them. Gokudera goes all out and a little over the top with the simplist tasks in an attempt to amend the mistakes he has made and show Tsuna he’s fit to be his right hand man.
Gokudera sees everyone older than him as an enemy. This comes from the fact that he was rejected and put down by nearly every adult he has come in contact with for being a “half-breed mutt”. And the fact his older sister poisoned him everyday with his cooking due to his father’s encouragement since the piano playings he gave were “new” and “unique”. People who are younger than him he just finds annoying, although with time he comes to view them as a younger sibling (as seen with the stupid cow brat Lambo), but he’ll never admit it outright. The only person who’s older than him that he doesn’t view as an enemy and someone he trusts, is Dr.Shamal, who although he seems to openly hate, is the only father figure he’s ever had in life.
Abilites:
Dynamite: Gokudera always carries sticks of dynamite with him, all all shapes and sizes for any case. They’re concealed on all parts of his body.
Sistema C.A.I: It’s a series of box weapons (something that stores any weapons for animals that are created for the purpose of fighting, to things like chains) and rings that allows him to control and utilize the five flames within his body.
Skull Rings: They’re part of the Sistema C.A.I, that allows him to control the rain, lightening, cloud, and sun flames within his body.
Storm Cat: His Box Weapon animal, who he named Uri. The two have a love-hate relationship but Uri won’t let anyone harm Gokudera besides himself.
Combio Forma: G’s Archery: Uri combines with the Flame Arrow to create an arrow of bow, and has the roman numeral number for ‘one’ on it, showing it’s connection to the Primo Vongola Famiglia’s Storm Guardian, G. . In version X form, it has strap of dynamite, while forming armor on his legs and a single arm. It also gives him sunglasses and a pipe-shaped igniter to ignite his dynamite.
Motorcycle/Airbike: Simple enough. He uses it to travel long distance without having to use flames, therefore he is undetected.
Buckle Of The Storm: Version X: An upgrade of the Vongola Ring combined with Uri.
Other: Gokudera is ambidextrous.
SAMPLES
First Person:
[ Taking out the cellphone, he quickly checked the time before dialing a number, hitting the call button afterwords. Having no choice but to wait for someone to pick up, he let out a small “Tch” after it went to voice mail. ]
Damn baseball brain….the first I actually need to get a hold of him and he doesn’t pick up. What’s the fucking point of having a cellphone if you’re not going to use it?
[ Gokudera was obviously not happy. His boss had ordered him to gather all the guardians to his house, and he had saved getting the most annoying one for last. Having no choice but to go retrieve him in person, the male began to make his way to the Rain Guardian’s household. ]
He better be at home. I won’t forgive him for causing any hindrance to the tenth!
Third Person:
Gokudera sat in class, looking out the window with a bored expression on his face as the teacher ranted about something he had learned years ago, and had no interest in relearning, not at least without the Tenth here. Sighing he stood up, ignoring the teacher’s shock remarks as they ordered him to return to his seat. Walking out of class he pulled out cellphone, calling Tsuna, and slamming it shut with frustration after receiving no answer.
“Damn! Where is Juudaime?” Last time this had happened, the Kokuyo gang had made it self known to the Vongola and the others. Had a rival famiglia raged war against him? At this thought, Gokudera began to pick up pace, running out of the building and in the direction of the male’s house. He only slowed down his pace once he reached it, opening the door without knocking.
“JUUDAIME! ARE YOU OKAY?” The Storm Guardian yelled, worried.

Canon Point: The last time she is seen, which is literally at the end of the Emerald arc.

History:
Here and here (scroll down to Yellow's Journey), but I've summed it up with (a lot of) the help of both (as one is more detailed and another only denotes important events, as well as the fact they missed some minor details like the first one), so...!
In canon, it is unknown how Yellow came to live with her ‘Uncle’ Will, however it is theorized that she was abandoned as a child as soon as she'd been born. Despite being conscious of the fact that she and her Uncle weren't related, she was still happy, and lived in the Viridian Forest with him regardless. One day, as a young girl, she was attacked by a rampaging Dratini. Her savior ended up being Red, a Pokemon Trainer who was passing by. He taught her about Pokémon and how to treat them with love and care, as if they were one's friends! Not only this, but the raven-haired boy helped her catch her first Pokémon ever, Rattata. Later, she met Blue— whom soon was like an elder sister figure to her. Being sent in order to complete the mission she was given, Yellow disguised herself as a boy named Amarillo del Bosque Verde for safety reasons and travelled throughout the Kanto region. To accomplish the mission she was given, she trained under Green. When she learned of evolution through this training (a necessity), however, she cried and cried and cried, thinking her Pokémon had been changed and all their memories of the times they had spent together had disappeared. Due to this, she dislikes evolution, and has a minor fear of it, which she is quickly getting over. As time passed, she made friends, caught new Pokémon, and eventually saved the missing Red with the help of his Pikachu, Pika, who accompanied her during her journey.
After defeating the Kanto Elite Four Champion and accomplishing her mission, she went back to her regular life in Viridian Forest.
Later on, she and her Uncle along with Pika and the newest addition to the team, Chuchu, a Pikachu just like Pika, embarked on a new voyage to the Johto region in search of the legendary Pokémon called Lugia. At the time, this Pokémon resided in Cerise Island. While on this journey, they accidentally freed the legendary beasts of Ecruteak City that lived in Burnt Tower (Entei, Raikou and Suicune) due to the Silver and Rainbow Wings hidden within the feathers of her straw hat.
Once Yellow’s encounter with Lugia was over, she was led to the Goldenrod Daycare Center. The young healer later joined the other Pokédex Holders in the final battle against Mask Of Ice at Ilex Forest. Yellow, again, returned home.
Yellow decided to visit the Viridian Gym one day, and encountered Silver, who was there to learn about his past and possible hometown. Yellow aided him with her ability to read the minds of Pokémon, and discovered that Silver was the long-lost son of Giovanni during their double battle against Team Rocket.
Silver was kidnapped, Yellow chased them and soon found herself on board the Team Rocket Battle Airship. There, she encountered Red and Deoxys, whom she mind read to reveal the connection Red and the outer space Pokémon shared. When the Battle Airship started to fail, Red sent Yellow and Mewtwo away in a black hole, and Yellow remained unconscious due to exhaustion. She was still unconscious when she became petrified afterwards by Storc’s mysterious attack, along with Red, Green, Blue and Silver.
2 months later, Mr. Briney shipped the petrified Dex Holders to the Battle Frontier via the S.S. Tidal. The petrifaction of the five seniors is not reversed until Emerald, the strategist of the Dex Holders, is finally able to channel his wish to Jirachi, the wish granting Pokémon. Yellow quickly joined the battle after regaining mobility. When the combined grass, fire and water ultimate attacks failed, she synchronized her mind & spirits with Pika, Chuchu, and Gold’s Pichu to deliver a combined electric ultimate attack called Volt Tackle. This put an end to the crisis threatening the Battle Frontier.
She then entered a tournament between the Dex Holders, in which she lost at some point. It is not stated when or how she lost, just that she did, which is really no surprise. This is where the Emerald arc ends, and it is also where we last see Yellow.
Appearance:
This is what she looked like in the FireRed & LeafGreen chapter- her general appearance has not changed since this chapter! Except that maybe her hair got a bit more detailed, if anything. However, if you wouldd like a better representation of how she's looked throughout the chapters, there's also this!
