Current Characters: Rock Howard, Nate Grey, Ragna the Bloodedge, Yuusuke Urameshi
Character: Soma Cruz
Fandom: Castlevania
Character Notes:
History:
» Soma's early life is pretty much nonexistent as far as we know, but it's implied that he's had a pretty normal childhood. Things really don't start heating up for him until he's 18 and studying in Japan.
» In the year 2035, Soma was going to visit his friend Mina Hakuba at her family's shrine to watch the first eclipse of the 21st century. However, when on his way to do so, he blacks out and he and Mina find themselves in a strange castle.
» Soon Soma and Mina find out that they aren't the only ones there – a mysterious man going by the name of Arikado is also there, and it's though a short skirmish with some zombies that Soma finds out that he has what is called the “Power of Dominance”, which allows him to control the souls of the various creatures that haunt Dracula's castle.
» Though Soma's travels through the castle to try and find a way out, he encounters others that have been pulled in – and he starts to realize that it's by no coincidence that he was pulled into this place. After Dracula's demise in 1999, a prophecy foretold of his reincarnation – though nobody knew who that was at the time.
» He later meets up with several others, including Yoko Belinades, a witch in the employ of the Church, Hammer, a former U.S. Army operative that was sent to investigate the shenanigans, and Graham Jones, a man who believes himself to be the reincarnation of Dracula, since he was born at the same time that Dracula was defeated in 1999. Soma also meets a man who is only known as “J”, Julius Belmont, the last of the legendary vampire slayer clan and also the man who defeated Dracula in 1999.
» As Soma moves along, he eventually ends up absorbing many of the monsters' souls within the castle, giving him incredible powers. He eventually confronts Graham in the castle's keep, who accuses him of “grand theft” before opting to trying to destroy Soma.
» After defeating Graham and his transformed form and absorbing his power, Soma then realizes that, in fact, he is Dracula's reincarnation. Julius then confronts him, and the two battle, but Soma realizes that Julius had been holding back, if only because he could sense Soma's spirit fighting off Dracula's influence. Soma then makes Julius promise him that if he ever fully becomes Dracula, to kill him.
» Arikado then tells Soma that if he wants to leave, along with Mina and Yoko, he must cut off the castle's chaotic energy at the source, in a place only “Dracula” could go. Soma then agrees to go, and defeats the chaotic energy at its source. Afterward, he's congratulated by the others and wakes up outside the Shrine with Mina, relieved that the incident's over. Also, it apparently seems that Soma lost his abilities when he and Mina escaped the castle at the end of the game.

Personality: For the most part, Soma's a pretty normal teenager from the future. He's said to exude an aura around him that makes him seem distant and hard to get along with, but that begins to dissipate by the end of Aria of Sorrow, and he has become more open and trusting toward others. He's especially close to Mina Hakuba, the daughter of the caretaker of the Hakuba shrine and also Soma's childhood friend.
He is somewhat impulsive, and if his emotions get too out of control or he faces/absorbs a massive amount of dark energy, he is the most in danger of turning into the very thing he is fighting to retain his identity: the next Count Dracula.
Some of his interactions with other people during the games show that he's actually somewhat naive, but usually pretty cordial toward others, like when talking with Graham before he finds out about Soma's power or when talking with Yoko, where she teases him about being on her side shortly after Graham spazzes out about his abilities.

Other: I'll be taking Soma from pre-Aria of Sorrow, then having occasional posts coming through his adventures through the castle and afterward, then time-skipping a year into Dawn of Sorrow canon.
First Person (entry type): [ voice post ; during Aria of Sorrow canon ]
You know, I shouldn't really be surprised that this is the only thing I can connect to right now. I'm... sorry if I worried anyone before, I'm fine, for the time being. Just need to figure out how to navigate this place some more.
Though I'm honestly more worried about Mina. Apparently I have no problem navigating this place and fighting my way through, but all she can do right now is wait for me inside a barrier.
Then again... that's more than enough reason for me to keep going. I'm not stopping until I find out what exactly's going on here.
Third Person: It hadn't been too long since Soma had entered the castle, but he could already feel more at home here than he had in a while. Why was that, he wondered. Considering the way this place was, and all the monsters that inhabited it, this place should've felt the farthest thing from home. And yet...
He shook his head. This wasn't what he should be thinking about right now; what was most important was finding a way out of here. His thoughts drifted to Mina, who was waiting for him back at the entrance, and Arikado's words.
“I have to find a way out... but I can't let this rest like this... at least until I get some more answers.”
Resolve renewed for the time being, he quickly dodged an incoming attack from an enchanted skeleton and parried using a sword he had found. It was strange; even his reflexes, though stronger than they were before, felt more natural around here.

Character: Serena Celia Van Der Woodsen.
Fandom: Gossip Girl.
Character Notes:
History:
Serena was born on July 14th in Manhattan. Her early years weren't much to record, but were more of the type that every kid ever dreamed of. Aside from her mother bringing home different types of men every night, Serena was still very content with her life. She grew up in a penthouse in Manhattan with her brother, Erik, and every once and awhile her mother. She spent most of her earlier years making friends with the two most important people in her life right now. Blair Waldorf, and Nathaniel Archibald. Serena and Erik grew up supporting each other basically, even though their penthouse was never short of any kind of assistance any of them could ever need.
Serena is what you call the party girl, and she did it all through out middle school. Being almost inseparable with her best friends Blair and Nate, and sometimes even Chuck, they all had their own little life centered around each other and it seemed to work, especially when in a place like New York, everyone knew everything about everyone else. They couldn't keep secrets in middle school, but once freshman year hit for high school, thats when it seemed like everything changed. High school proved to be the worst time for Serena, and it seemed to happen so suddenly. Blair and Nate were still a couple, and seemed to be more in love than anyone could have ever figured. Serena couldn't stand it really, and on one night, at a wedding,

Serena couldn't stand it really, and on one night, at a wedding,
[c]
Serena and Nate were both very drunk together and ended up sleeping together. With their virginity lost to one another, things, Serena realized were never going to be the same. Serena decided she couldn't take it and decided to leave New York and head to a boarding school in Connecticut. It was there that Serena met Georgina Sparks, a mysterious and not so good character and Serena became instant best friends with. Georgina influenced Serena's life, turning into a whirlwind of lies and constant inebriation. The life she was leading was not one Serena had ever imagined herself leading and she began to change dramatically, something she was not happy with. One fateful night, Georgina and Serena were doing coke with a male they had recently met, and Serena really didn't want to do it, so instead, she passed it to the man they had just met.
Serena then noticed that the man had taken a turn for the worse, going into some sort of really bad seizure, Serena called 911, and then fled the scene. Serena left the boarding school short thereafter without much of a word and returned, a year or so later, to lovely Manhattan. Serena expected to be treated with much admiration and much love and excitement for her return. Instead she gets an insanely guilty Nate and one way pissed off Blair Waldorf. Nate feels so bad that he decides to tell Blair what happened the night Serena and him slept together, and Blair freaked out, of course. Wanting nothing at all to do with Serena and trying to knock the blond off of her pedestal of being New York's It girl. Nate, who felt more strongly for Serena than for Blair, tried to get with her, but Serena turned him down and instead moved onto Dan Humphrey.
This wasn't exactly a fairytale relationship from the very start. Dan resent and disliked the upscale lifestyle that Serena lived in and he figured and wanted for Serena to see the same. On top of that, Serena's godmother was so strongly opposed to Dan, though a lot of that had to do with her being a Van Der Woodsen and him being a Humphrey, and the two family names had much history that intertwined even recently, cue in Lily Van Der Woodsen and Rufus Humphrey. The two were once in love, and even to this day, still are. The biggest problem comes when Rufus comes to find that Lily was pregnant with his child when she was nineteen. Serena and Dan found this out and become sort of iffy with each other. They decide to try and break it off but only realize that this actually could make them even stronger a couple than what they had been before.
From there, a rather intelligent and absolutely stunning English Teacher, Ms. Carr moves to Constance Billiard, and at first nothing seems really a miss. She developed a close friendship with Dan, but soon, Serena begins to see that Ms. Carr has really taken a fondness to Dan. Well, cue in Miss Queen 'B'. She sees this 'friendship' and deciding to get back at Ms. Carr for giving her a low grade decides to spread a nasty rumor about seeing Dan and Ms. Carr together. Serena believes the rumor and is furious. The two break up and what do you know, Dan moves on to Ms. Carr. Though, the affair only lasts a few weeks and Dan realizes he wants Serena back. Though, Serena would never admit it to herself, she too wanted Dan back. This off and on relationship that is filled with drama and much head spinning lasted for a dizzying year and a half.
But, now off again, Serena feels she is ready to move on, and move on taking in the form of her former fling, Nathaniel Archibald. With a brand new stepbrother, Mister Chuck Bass, and one dead stepfather, Serena is going to have to deal with senior year with the most class and respect for herself she could muster. But hey, it's New York, and she is Serena Van Der Woodsen. If anyone could make their life the most interesting, its her, and Serena is going to do whatever it takes to make sure she has everything and anything she could ever possibly want or need.

Current Characters: Issei Ryudo, Naesala, Sealand, Sherry Birkin, Nessiah.
Character: Shinji Matou
Fandom: Fate/stay night
Character Notes:
History: Once upon a time, there were three magus families: the Einzberns, the Tohsakas, and the Matous. The Matou family was headed by Zouken, who became some kind of weird worm vampire thing to live forever. Anyway. The Matous' talent for magic died down over the generations, and by the time Matou Shinji was born, he had no Magic Circuit whatsoever. Still, he studied magic as much as he could, being the family's oldest son and all.
Oh, and the Tohsakas had an agreement with the Matous, and they gave the Matous their spare child Sakura ten years ago. She was actually capable of magic, and thus Zouken trained her.
Shinji didn't know about this. For about seven years, he treated her kindly out of something like pity. She was only a second child, after all. Then three years ago, he found out about her being the heir, and got pissed off as hell at her.
...And then he got ordered to start raping her to deal with her body's problems, and he took way too much pleasure in that. And started being physically abusive to her.
Right, actual game canon time. The Holy Grail War starts, Sakura doesn't want to participate, Shinji gets her to give up control of Rider. Who it's also implied he rapes. Great.
In Fate route, he assaults Ayako, tries to kill everybody in the school with a boundary field, fails, runs away, and is killed by Ilya shortly after Rider dies. In Unlimited Blade Works route, he loses Rider early, gets Gilgamesh as a replacement Servant, almost rapes Tohsaka Rin, gets one arm chopped off, gets turned into a vessel for the Grail (having a lake-sized amount of flesh grow out of your body), and is rescued. In Heaven's Feel he holds Sakura hostage during the boundary field thing, torments her a lot, and is killed by her when he threatens to tell Shirou about his raping of her.
Personality: Shinji is arrogant. Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant. He thinks of himself as the biggest and baddest until there's way too much evidence to the contrary. He doesn't mind blackmailing other students, using his friends' flaws to get what he wants. He treats his adopted sister like trash (and goes so far as to call her a piece of shit in front of someone else).
He's also extremely cowardly. He will do anything to save his own skin, no matter who he has to throw under the bus. Family ties, other people's lives - doesn't matter. When he gets scared, he gets going.
Besides that, he's a womanizer. Surprisingly enough, girls at his school adore him. If arrogance looks like confidence, I guess it's understandable... Character material says he isn't too bad to non-Sakura girls, although Rin seems to be another exception.
Other: I plan not to talk about the whole raping thing except in locked entries, and even then only very rarely. (It seems like it would hurt his chances for friends.)

First Person (entry type):
Hey, what's this? This 'dramadramaduck' isn't supposed to be here. I didn't pay that many yen just to be stuck on a site for lonely duck enthusiasts, I paid for real internet.
I should have realized before this that installing a computer in my home wasn't going to work correctly. We can barely get the lights in this house to function. Asking for the internet was too much, wasn't it?
Well, I'll have Emiya take a look at it. He's a mechanic type, he should know plenty about how to fix the problem. And I'm sure he'll be happy to help me. We're old friends, after all!
Third Person:
Shinji's typical day.
Wake up. Sakura's not in the house because she's at Emiya's - Shinji doesn't like that, but he knows that Emiya hasn't ever dared to lay a hand on her, so it's really none of his concern. He makes breakfast himself. It's edible.
Go to school. He sees Tohsaka on the way there; she ignores him, as always. It's insulting, and even if he's surrounded by other girls, it makes him feel unfulfilled. One day he's going to make her pay attention to him. Then she'll fall in line.
Sit through classes. Answers a question Fujimura-sensei asked incorrectly. The class is useless anyway. What use does he have for English when he can get by just fine on Japanese?
Have lunch. Emiya snubs him for Ryudo, as usual. What does a monk have that could possibly be more interesting than Shinji does?
Have more classes.
Come home. The old man has decided not to make an appearance today. That's a relief - he gives Shinji the creeps.
Do homework. Or, more accurately, ask one of his more academically-minded fangirls to give him the answers. It's not right for him to tax his brain doing work that he doesn't care about.
Harass Sakura when she gets back.
Sleep.

Character: Owen Harper
Fandom: Torchwood
Character Notes:
History:
Owen was born on Valentine's day in 1980. His mother and him were never very close (the nicest thing she ever did for him was pack his lunch one day, and she didn't particularly like her son much). Not much is known about his father. By his early twenties, Owen had made himself a nice little career as a doctor, and was engaged to the love of his pre-Torchwood life, Katie Russell. Unfortunately, Katie had what doctors considered to be early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Owen attempted everything to help Katie, believing the other doctors to basically be wrong, as she was insanely young to have Alzheimer's; after countless tests, a brain scan seemed to indicate that she had a brain tumor.
During what was supposed to be a relatively normal surgery, however, that brain tumor was revealed to be an alien parasite. At this moment, Jack Harkness appeared, rushing in to try and save the day - unfortunately for Jack and Owen, the parasite killed the surgical team and Katie once it had been revealed. After trying to deal with the death of his fiancé, Owen was approached by Jack for the second time; this time, Jack came with an offer for him to join Torchwood.
After joining Torchwood, Owen led the classic one-man-wolfpack life of sex, booze and being a medic in a secret government agency. Owen seemed to get along pretty well with the female members of the crew - meaning, he had an affair with Suzie, later Gwen, and Toshiko always had a thing for him. He spent the first part of his life with Torchwood flirting with women, patching up his workmates whenever they got themselves shot or otherwise hurt, and making disparaging remarks whenever he felt like it.
Then came Diane Holmes, a woman who came through the Rift from the 1950's. Owen and Diane became involved during the short time she was in Cardiff; this was probably the first serious relationship Owen had been in since Katie. However, Diane left, unable to stay in one place for long, flying off in hopes of finding an opening in the Rift. Owen was left devastated. He spent most of his time sulking, getting into fights, and eventually his anger and remorse led him to a "Fight Club" styled underground group, where he was put into a cage with a Weevil. Instead of letting out his aggression on the alien, he simply stared it down, without fear. After that, it seemed as though Owen had come back to himself a bit, though he would swear off one-night stands. (Theoretically.) However, when Bilis Manger and Abaddon used the image of Diane in an attempt to convince Owen to open the Rift, he immediately went for it. His mutiny against Jack culminated in the rest of the team siding with him; when Jack tried to regain control, Owen shot him. Of course, that only delayed Jack from gaining control again, once the Rift was open. He was summarily fired from his post. (It didn't last long.)

Of course, that only delayed Jack from gaining control again, once the Rift was open. He was summarily fired from his post. (It didn't last long.)
After dealing with Abaddon, Owen and the rest of the team dealt with the Rift while Jack was dealing with the end of the world and all that heroic stuff. He continued to be a very good doctor (well, a brilliant doctor, but those are his words, not mine), teaming up with Martha Jones during an investigation of a pharmaceutical company that was killing people. Unfortunately, this team up resulted in Owen getting shot and killed as he attempted to reason with the director. Jack, of course, attempted to bring him back with a resurrection gauntlet so that everyone could say their goodbyes; this only served to bring Owen back permanently as a dead man. And, you know. A host to a personification of Death itself. After battling off Death, however, Owen didn't go back to being dead; he pretty much stayed exactly as he had been. Twenty-seven forever. Except he couldn't eat, sleep, drink or have sex, so there were no creature comforts to help him cope with the whole "undead" thing. He was temporarily relieved of duty until he managed to come to terms with his new mode of existence, and he actually managed that pretty well - up until Jack's brother Gray appeared. After Gray and John Heart's explosions triggered the beginnings of a nuclear meltdown, Owen attempted to shut down, or at least contain, the potential nuclear disaster. Unfortunately, he was sealed into the room where said nuclear meltdown was to take place in. Owen died talking to Toshiko, lamenting the fact that they never got to go on that date of theirs. This time, he was gone for good.
Personality: Owen is a sarcastic, moody kind of guy. He's quick to tell you exactly what he thinks about pretty much anything, and if you're being a moron, he will let you know very bluntly just how big a dumbass you're being. He's decidedly witty, and he has a rather dark sense of humor. Owen is probably better at pissing people off than anyone else in Torchwood, and he tends to sulk and alienate people when he's feeling depressed or hopeless. He has a great deal of trouble talking about his feelings, too, but then again, what guy doesn't? Despite being sarcastic, gruff and moody, however, Owen really does have a "softer" side - he became a doctor to help people, and he will put aside his issues to deal with any medical emergencies that may arise. He has a strong sense of remorse, and he has been known to blame himself for things that he could have prevented. He also doesn't give up easily; he'll see everything through until the bitter end. ...Actually, that fact makes him pretty good at picking up ladies, whether it's on his own or by use of alien technology, and he's considered a bit of a womanizer. Despite that, however, when Owen falls in love, he falls hard.
Other: I'll be taking Owen from after Diane's departure in "Out of Time" but before he battles the Weevil in "Combat". This means he'll be near the end of series 1, before he dies for the first time.

Current Characters: Dominic Cobb (cornonthe), Yoruichi (trapcat), Radical Ed (netdiver_ed)
Character: Dr. Atsuko Chiba and her dreaming personality, Paprika
Fandom: Paprika
Character Notes:
History: A premier research psychologist, Dr. Chiba heads a team devoted to the use of the DC Mini, an invention of Dr. Kosaku Tokita, as a device to aid in psychological treatment. The DC Mini records the dreams of the user and makes them able to be viewed on a computer. It also permits dream sharing between users. Dr. Chiba is very experienced in the use of the DC Mini as a treatment aid, and created an alternate personality to more easily enter dreams and analyze them and the dreamer.
This alternate personality is named Paprika.
When a DC Mini is stolen, the team has a big problem. The model stolen is unencrypted, and is essentially able to be used by anyone. The implications of this are very bad, since a DC Mini in the wrong hands can be used to warp and implant dreams into other people's heads.
So Dr. Chiba, Dr. Tokita, Dr. Shima, and Detective Konakawa get on the case to figure out who stole it and how to get it back before all of reality is endangered.
Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for shit to get real. Dr. Shima, head of the research team, is infected with a dream while he's awake and ends up ranting nonsensically and jumping out of a window. He survives, but several other doctors end up affected similarly. Dr. Chiba, as Paprika, enters various peoples' dreams to try to figure stuff out.
Shenanigans happen, and reality starts to merge with dreams, and things get really trippy. There are a couple of moments where they think they're awake, only to be caught by dream concepts again. Many questions arise: is Paprika a part of Chiba, or is Chiba a part of Paprika? Are they separate entities entirely? Who is behind all of it, anyway? But what about the rest of it?
And so on.
It's pretty awesome.

Personality: Atsuko and Paprika are technically the same person, but both are seemingly entirely different people. Atsuko is quiet, reserved, thoughtful, and prone to think before acting. She is seemingly cold and an ice queen, but hides a lot of emotion behind her reserves, and occasionally surprises people with her controlled outbursts. She holds a high position in her world, and uses her intelligence well. She works well with her colleagues, discussing certain topics at length, and skillfully analyzing situations.
Paprika, on the other hand, is bright and happy, curious about everything, and prone to jump right in when she sees trouble. She is seemingly not afraid of anything, but she won't hesitate to run away if she obviously can't do anything. She's also skillfully analytical, but in a more exploratory way. Her method of analysis is by doing, whereas Atsuko is more the type to sit back and watch. When it gets down to it, though, Atsuko will jump right in to help if need be.
Other: Paprika has a lot of power in the dream world. She can change the dream to a certain extent, and can move around by leaping into images and traveling through them. She can join into a dream naturally and become a part of it, as if she were always meant to be there.

Current Characters: n/a
Character: Jin Kisaragi
Fandom: Blazblue
Character Notes:
History:
Jin is the younger brother of Blazblue's primary protagonist, Ragna the Bloodedge, and currently a major in the NOL and the 'hero' of the Ikaruga Civil War. As a child, Jin was raised in an orphanage along with Ragna and their younger sister, Saya; and while Jin favored his brother and constantly wanted his attention, most of Ragna's time went to the sickly Saya to the point that Jin started to bully Saya, and Ragna distanced himself from Jin to focus more on Saya. At about this time, Terumi Yuuki appeared to Jin and told the boy that he was destined to become a great hero, but in order to do so, he would have to kill his older brother who would become a monster known as the Black Beast. Sometime later, the church Jin grew up in was burned, his caretaker killed, his brother's right arm cut off, and his little sister kidnapped; however, Jin has no memory of this event, save for a vague recollection of his right hand covered in blood.
Sometime afterwards, Jin was adopted into the Kisaragi family, one of the twelve noble families with close ties to the Novus Orbis Librarium (NOL, or 'Library', which is the closest thing to a government in the world of Blazblue). Jin was entered into the military academy and excelled academically and on the field, being among the top of the class and receiving the Nox Nyctores Yukianesa (one of the ten Ars Armagus, special weapons made to combat the Black Beast) upon graduation. He went on to end the Ikaruga Civil War (essentially a war between those who could use the Armagus and those who could not) by assassinating the leader of Ikaruga, and rise to the rank of Major.
Despite these achievements, Jin himself felt empty on the inside and life sort of passed him by - until he heard rumors of the Grim Reaper and felt compelled to meet this man. Like the rest of the cast of Blazblue: The Calamity Trigger, Jin made his way to the city of Kagutsuchi, where he discovered that the Grim Reaper was none other than his older brother, Ragna. From there, Jin was gripped with a psychotic need to meet his brother again, even going as far as to deliberately disobey his orders. Due to what's truly going on behind the scenes in the game, Jin's story diverts from there, as the world was stuck in a time loop. Jin, though, truly has two paths to his story.
In one ending, Jin's final battle with his brother is interrupted by v-13, who takes Ragna along when she throws herself into the Cauldron. Jin follows suit, wanting to stay with Ragna and kill him, and he ends up in the past where he meets Rachel Alucard, who like Terumi, offers him the chance to become a hero. From there, Jin becomes one of the Six Heroes who goes on the defeat the Black Beast, Hakumen. In the true ending of Blazblue: The Calamity Trigger where the timeloop is broken, Jin is heavily injured by Ragna during their battle and ends up in a hospital, where he learns the NOL has ordered his assassination, but he continues to chase Ragna, thereby cutting all ties with the NOL and the Kisaragi family.
Jin seeks to kill Noel Vermillion, his former subordinate, who resembles his lost sister and is accompanying his brother. (spoilers for Blazblue: Continuum Shift) Over the course of Blazblue: Continuum Shift, After this revelation, Jin resolves to grow stronger on his own terms, and he is on the way to becoming a true hero.

Personality:
For the majority of both games, Jin is a highly unstable young man with quite a dual personality. On one end, he is cold and apathetic, feeling little to nothing whether he is excelling at something, or being highly cruel (such as in one of Carl Clover's endings, where Jin tortures the boy by slowly freezing him to death while taunting him). It seems the only time Jin feels true emotion is when Ragna is mentioned, or he is in the presence of his brother, where Jin's personality completely changes and he becomes maniacal, almost childishly so; both joyful at being reunited with Ragna and ecstatic at the prospect of being able to kill him 'again'. However, as revealed in Continuum Shift, it's highly possibly that these psychotic episodes actually come from Yukianesa, as the sword took advantage of Jin's fragile mental state to drive him to become murderous when the need arose.
Jin himself is the product of not receiving the love and attention he desired from his brother (treated as an in-joke in Blazblue's gag segments, where Jin's obsession is lampshaded as incest), causing him to detach himself from the world so as not to feel much of anything, though he can put on a smile, and has some leadership qualities as he was class president. He says himself that life sort of floated by for him, and indeed, it is like he didn't truly 'live' until Ragna came back into his life. That isn't to say that Jin is completely dead on the inside, as (spoilers for Continuum Shift) . But for the most part, he's a jerkass, seeing most people and things as worthless and seeing the world at large as one huge lie.
Other: Considering the nature of the games, as Jin progresses through the canon of Calamity Trigger he will be going through multiple 'endings' courtesy of the time loops, so his personality may shift from apathetic to insane and seem to revert back to apathy. Any character development made during each loop will be reset once the loop begins again with maybe only vague memories of anyone he has met through the community, until he goes through the True Ending of Calamity Trigger, where his development will start to stabilize.

Character: Theophrastus Bombastus Van Hohenheim
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)
Character Notes:
History: 400 years prior to the opening of the series, Hohenheim was a young slave called Number Twenty-Three who lived in the country of Xerxes. At the time, alchemy was in its infancy: mere theories bandied about by philosophers and scientists alike. Because the country existed in a time of relative peace, its people could devote their time to intellectual pursuits. Indeed, Xerxes was most likely experiencing its Golden Age, since it was an isolated desert civilization with no neighboring countries to make war with.
Hohenheim's master was a powerful alchemist who worked directly beneath the King of Xerxes. During one of his many experiments, he used some of Hohenheim's blood, and through sheer accident, managed to summon a being from beyond the Gate. This being, which resembled a faceless sphere of darkness, was called Homunculus, the Dwarf Inside the Flask. It possessed knowledge far surpassing that of mankind. Unable to leave the confines of its flask, lest it should perish, the Dwarf decided to make conversation with the slave whose blood had been used to summon it into our world. Grateful for being given life, the Dwarf decided to grant Number Twenty-Three a new name: Theophrastus Bombastus Van Hohenheim.
Until that time, Hohenheim never questioned his lot in life as a slave; that was simply the natural order of the world, and what right did he have to question that order? But the Dwarf, who longed for freedom outside his flask, convinced Hohenheim that they need not live as prisoners. With knowledge, both the slave and the Dwarf could experience all that life in the outside world had to offer...
So Hohenheim began to learn to read and write from the Dwarf, and to perform arithmetic and basic alchemy. The young slave freely shared his knowledge among his fellow slaves, much to the chagrin of his master. But Hohenheim's master saw promise in the young slave, and offered him a position as his apprentice. He was a brilliant student and learned very quickly from both his master and the Dwarf. Hohenheim continued to grow close to the Dwarf, each of them confiding in the other, sharing their hopes and dreams for the future. In a sense, because they shared the same blood, the Dwarf considered himself Hohenheim's offspring.
Eventually, the Dwarf was brought before the King of Xerxes, who sought the secret to immortality. The Dwarf agreed to teach King Xerxes the ritual by which he could gain immortality, but unknown to the king and his subjects, the Dwarf was planning his own escape...
As the years passed and Hohenheim grew to adulthood, the King of Xerxes grew weaker and more desperate to prolong his lifespan. He forced his subjects to work night and day digging “canals” which served as a huge alchemical array that would encompass his entire kingdom. He then ordered his soldiers to wipe out several outlying villages in order to carve the Crests of Blood necessary for the ritual.

tasty_tributeCharacter: Theophrastus Bombastus Van Hohenheim
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)
Character Notes:
History: 400 years prior to the opening of the series, Hohenheim was a young slave called Number Twenty-Three who lived in the country of Xerxes. At the time, alchemy was in its infancy: mere theories bandied about by philosophers and scientists alike. Because the country existed in a time of relative peace, its people could devote their time to intellectual pursuits. Indeed, Xerxes was most likely experiencing its Golden Age, since it was an isolated desert civilization with no neighboring countries to make war with.
Hohenheim's master was a powerful alchemist who worked directly beneath the King of Xerxes. During one of his many experiments, he used some of Hohenheim's blood, and through sheer accident, managed to summon a being from beyond the Gate. This being, which resembled a faceless sphere of darkness, was called Homunculus, the Dwarf Inside the Flask. It possessed knowledge far surpassing that of mankind. Unable to leave the confines of its flask, lest it should perish, the Dwarf decided to make conversation with the slave whose blood had been used to summon it into our world. Grateful for being given life, the Dwarf decided to grant Number Twenty-Three a new name: Theophrastus Bombastus Van Hohenheim.
Until that time, Hohenheim never questioned his lot in life as a slave; that was simply the natural order of the world, and what right did he have to question that order? But the Dwarf, who longed for freedom outside his flask, convinced Hohenheim that they need not live as prisoners. With knowledge, both the slave and the Dwarf could experience all that life in the outside world had to offer...
So Hohenheim began to learn to read and write from the Dwarf, and to perform arithmetic and basic alchemy. The young slave freely shared his knowledge among his fellow slaves, much to the chagrin of his master. But Hohenheim's master saw promise in the young slave, and offered him a position as his apprentice. He was a brilliant student and learned very quickly from both his master and the Dwarf. Hohenheim continued to grow close to the Dwarf, each of them confiding in the other, sharing their hopes and dreams for the future. In a sense, because they shared the same blood, the Dwarf considered himself Hohenheim's offspring.
Eventually, the Dwarf was brought before the King of Xerxes, who sought the secret to immortality. The Dwarf agreed to teach King Xerxes the ritual by which he could gain immortality, but unknown to the king and his subjects, the Dwarf was planning his own escape...
As the years passed and Hohenheim grew to adulthood, the King of Xerxes grew weaker and more desperate to prolong his lifespan. He forced his subjects to work night and day digging “canals” which served as a huge alchemical array that would encompass his entire kingdom. He then ordered his soldiers to wipe out several outlying villages in order to carve the Crests of Blood necessary for the ritual.

Finally, the array complete, it was time for the ritual to commence. But things didn't go as planned. With Hohenheim and the Dwarf standing at the center of the array, only they would be the recipients of effects granted by the ritual. Every living creature not within the center of the array had their souls ripped from their bodies and transformed into the components necessary to create the Philosopher's Stone. Hohenheim watched in horror as over a million lives were snuffed out while his own body and that of the Dwarf's were broken down and reconstructed anew. The Dwarf, who now inhabited a human form cloned from Hohenheim's blood, explained that each of them possessed immortal bodies granted by the immeasurable sacrifice of an entire civilization. Hohenheim had become a human Philosopher's Stone, born of half the population of Xerxes, the other half belonging to the Dwarf.
With no home or family, Hohenheim set out toward the East and the country of Xing, while the Dwarf headed West through the desert toward Amestris. Hohenheim would eventually develop the alkahestry used in the East, while the Dwarf would teach alchemy to the people of Amestris. He would eventually create seven “children,” each of them embodying a different sin, and call himself their Father. Having attained freedom from his flask, the Father now set his ambitions even higher and desired to become a “perfect being”... but his plans would take 400 years to reach fruition.
As the centuries passed, Hohenheim left Xing and made his way to Amestis. Along the way, he began conversing with the souls of the citizens of Xerxes within him, in the hopes of making peace with them. It was impossible for him to think of those people as mere energy forms to extend his lifespan. He felt he needed to make amends to his fellow countrymen... And that choice proved to be beneficial, once he learned of the Father's plans. Having made peace with them, he could rely on their aid in order to exact vengeance on the Father; not for himself, but for the people who were sacrificed for the Dwarf's selfish ambitions, and to save Amestris.
While living in Amestris, Hoheneim came to settle in the town of Risembool, and befriended a local automail mechanic by the name of Pinako Rockbell. He was later introduced to Trisha Elric, and Hohenheim fell madly in love with her. Though they never married, the two of them lived together happily, and eventually, Trisha gave birth to two sons: Edward and Alphonse. Both children inherited not only their father's golden hair and eyes (an ethic trait shared among the all the people of Xerxes), but they also inherited his talent at alchemy, too.
When both children were very young, Hohenheim decided to to leave his family in order to find a way to become mortal again. Now that he had found the love of his life, he wanted to be able to grow old and die with her. He made a promise that he would one day return to her and his children, once his work was completed. And Trisha, in turn, promised to wait for him...
But in a cruel twist of fate, she fell ill, and eventually died before Hohenheim could return. She told Pinako to pass a message along to her husband, when he returned, saying, “Tell him... That I couldn't keep my promise to him. I'll be passing on before him. And please tell him... that I'm sorry.”
Hohenheim did eventually return to Risembool, but he was five years too late... His own sons burned the family home to the ground, and Edward left his hometown in order to become a State Alchemist. The two share a painful reunion in front of Trisha's grave, with Hohenheim scolding his son for destroying their home, and they eventually part ways without either one truly opening up to the other.
Later that year, Hohenheim reunites with his other son, Alphonse, in the city of Lior, which is still currently undergoing construction due to the riots that took place earlier that year. He divulges the truth of his origins and his plans to put a stop to the Father and his insidious plot to create a nationwide transmutation circle, which would result in the deaths of everyone in Amestris...

Current Characters: Hibari Kyoya and Albel Nox
Character: Squall Leonhart
Fandom: Final Fantasy VIII
Character Notes:
History:
• Squall, age 17, was born in the small town of Winhill.
• After the passing of his mother, both Squall, and his elder sibling Ellone, were taken in by a nearby orphanage. At present, his father's whereabouts are unknown.
• With little explanation, Ellone is removed from the orphanage.
• Squall (troubled and problematic), was never placed inside a home, and so spent his youth in the care of strangers. Ellone's absence affected him deeply.
• Following his stay in the orphanage, Squall enters into the Balamb Garden; a school specializing in the training of SEEDS (students, both male and female, capable of handling various weapons, magic, or an innate special ability). SEED is a "military" based organization. Under the command of Cid Kramer, SEED deploys its members to various parts of the world, operating as a sort of national guard.
• A sharp and focused individual, Squall chooses to master the Gunblade⎯ an unwieldly weapon notorious for its difficulty.
Personality:
• Hardened, reticent, and seemingly apathetic.
• Squall prefers to work alone, but functions well in high-pressure situations.
• Suffering from a deep-seated fear of abandonment, Squall does not trust easily, and shuns potential friendships.
• Squall is entirely self-reliant, believing that any dependence on others will only lead to eventual heartache.
• Despite his frigid, unwelcoming exterior, Squall is pained, fearful, and reluctant.
• At first glance unemotional, his insecurities overwhelm him.
Other: Squall has no desire to discuss his personal feelings. Dismissive and avoidant, he answers few questions, and counters (most) inquiries with a mumbled "whatever".

First Person (entry type):
It's not so simple as that. I'm not here to play the hero. ⎯I've got enough problems of my own. At some point, everyone learns to take care of themselves. No one's there to hold your hand. You can think whatever you want, but, in the end, you're always alone. Grow stronger, or you're left behind. But, carrying someone else's burden... It doesn't change a thing. Pain and suffering will always exist. ⎯It's useless to struggle against it. What good does it do to talk about feelings? ...None of it even matters. Either way, I'm not interested in your philanthropy. You should worry about yourself.
Third Person:
The game was Triple Triad. It all looked simple enough... Sounded–– Like a pain in the ass. He'd already built a pretty decent deck (you could find the stupid things anywhere). Maybe. Lot of bombs in there, and... An Ifrit? Wait, wait... You don't just find an Ifrit. If he lost it, it was gone for good. Stupid. Just focus. No reason he couldn't win. Squall was calm. Squall was confident. Squall was–– Confused as all hell. There were... far too many rules. At the moment, "Same" rule was in effect. That meant that cards with the same value were... No. What? Which card was his? Blue and red. He was... Damn! This girl; she'd already flipped two of his cards. Well, at least now it was obvious. Not bad at all, he thought.
Well then. From the looks of things, Ifrit was lost.
Squall smiled, handing his card to the giggling girl.
A loss was a loss, after all.
It would be in good hands with Rinoa.

Character: Soifon
Fandom: Bleach
Character Notes:
History:
Soifon was born Shaolin Fon, into the Fon house--a lower noble house. In the family tradition, Soifon was the youngest of six siblings and joined the
the Executive Militia of the Onitsukidō. When joining the militia, she dropped her given name and took the code name of her great-grandmother: Soifon. Her five older brothers all died in their service to the militia (the longest running career was five completed missions, dying on the sixth).
Soifon served the militia for seven years before being transferred to the corps-commander (Yoruichi Shihōin) personal guard. This event was marked by both's signature traits: Soifon said how honored she was to protect Yoruichi, using all her official titles. Yoruichi tried to convince Soifon to just call her "Yoruichi-san". Soifon was shocked, saying she wouldn't dare calling her merely Yoruichi-san, eventually settling on calling her "Yoruichi-sama". Yoruichi wasn't exactly thrilled but could tell that it would be useless with the new guard that she thought of as "so serious".
Yoruichi took Soifon under her wing--making her into her protege. They became quite close, despite their personality differences. Even though Soifon thought Yoruichi's close friend, Urahara Kisuke, was lazy and incompetent and tried to disenchant him to Yoruichi all that happened was Yoruichi ending up teasing Soifon, saying that she must have a crush on Kisuke. Soifon was unamused.
Then Urahara Kisuke got himself exiled and Yoruichi went with him, leaving Soifon behind.
Needless to say, Soifon got pissed, feeling incredibly betrayed. She swore to capture, then later kill, her former mentor--to become stronger than her, to take all her former titles. A hundred years later, Soifon became captain of the Second Division and the corps-commander of the Executive Militia: a cold contrast to Yoruichi.
Then some shit went down, and when Soifon was about to kill someone in the following events guess who showed up. That's right, Yoruichi. She tackled Soifon off a cliff into a forest. It was only until they were falling that Soifon realized who tackled her.
Cue Yoruichi using sarcasm, Soifon using all the bitterness she stored up over the last hundred years and trying to kill Yoruichi. Soifon throughout the fight thinks she has the upper hand, taunting Yoruichi saying that she hadn't gotten any stronger while she, Soifon, had. Then when Soifon thought she had Yoruichi on the ropes? She showed Yoruichi a new technique that she hadn't even thought of the name yet. It was to kill Yoruichi.
It didn't. Yoruichi already knew the technique and named it herself: Shunko. Yoruichi turned the tide of battle by using it on Soifon. Soifon, after the attack ended moved to attack her, only to be stopped and told that she's not yet strong enough to use the move. Insert Soifon raging at Yoruichi, telling how betrayed she felt at being left behind all the while attacking her. Yoruichi effortlessly evades the attacks. She ends the attacks by going in for a Shunko powered punch but stops short of actually hitting her.
Soifon's reaction? Breaking down and asking Yoruichi why she wasn't taken with. Then reconciliation! Yay! Oh wait, there was still that shit storm to take care of.
And for the rest of her history, have a wiki (http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Su%C3%AC-F%C4%93ng).

Personality: Soifon is known to be a hard taskmaster, the recruits for the Second Division is warned about this. For she's an extreme hard worker--she expects nothing less. She's extremely set in her ways, she has her beliefs and they won't be compromised for anything.
If anyone, even her subordinates, stands in the way of her goals she will not hesitate to eliminate them. This grim determination, alongside with a typically reserved manner, bred the aura of an ice queen. The fact that she ignores her subordinates--believing that this will force them to get tougher and gain moral character--rather than other 'friendlier' tactics of other Captains, only helps this reputation. She also seems to think things outside her current goals are boring.
However, this ice queen persona only really came out after Yoruichi left. Before that, she was serious and obedient but not exactly 'cold'. This betrayal of her master, her friend, the person she admired and loved changed Soifon deeply and even after the reconciliation she doesn't want to get close to anyone else. That explains why she distances herself from the Second Division--Yoruichi's betrayal forced her to gain strength and if ignoring her subordinates instills them with a hatred of Soifon? Well, hate can be a powerful motivator to gain power, as Soifon knows all too well.
Since her reconciliation with Yoruichi, the best way to describe Soifon's attitude towards Yoruichi (in several different omakes) is obsessive and childish. Very obsessive--from collecting black cat memorabilia to (in one omake) trying to take nude photographs of Yoruichi for a calender. Which she failed at, by the way. So basically? She became a stalker.
Other: Notes on the name, Soifon has many many name variations (Soi Fong, Sui-Feng, Soi Fon, Soifon, etc.). I'm using her romanized version, Soifon. This is why the name given in the wiki is different. If the mods wish me to use the name in the wiki, I will use that name but for this app I'm simply using "Soifon".

Character: Gale Hawthorne
Fandom: The Hunger Games Trilogy
Character Notes:
History:
- Gale lived in the Seam of District Twelve with his mother Hazelle, two younger brothers Rory and Vick , and his baby sister Posy. His father was killed in a mine explosion, the same one that killed Katniss’ father. Gale works in the mines for twelve hours a day in Catching Fire as he is now too old to participate in the Hunger Games.
- Gale first met Katniss at the ceremony following their fathers’ deaths and like her, was awarded the Medal of Valour for being the eldest child in the remaining family. They later met in the woods when he was fourteen after he found her inspecting one of his snares. She said her name so quietly that he thought she said ‘Catnip’ and the nickname has stuck ever since. Though it took them a long time to become friends, Gale became her confidant and hunting partner and the two helped each other out with their talents – Gale’s traps and snares and Katniss’ proficiency with the bow.
- The two of them spend much of their time out in the woods just outside District Twelve, illegally trespassing and poaching from them if only to feed their starving families. Before he begins work in the mines, Gale has to make money through trading his kills at the Hob and signing up for tesserae. This means his name would be entered multiple times into the reaping in exchange for grain and oil, the reaping being the event that takes place before the Hunger Games to pick out tributes – those who will compete in the Games. Obviously the more times his name is entered, the higher the chance he will be chosen.
- Gale loathes the Capitol and loves to complain about them. He even attempts to get Katniss to run away with him claiming he would like to start a family if he didn’t live in the Seam.

Character: Jonathan Archer [Mirror]
Fandom: Star Trek: Enterprise
Character Notes:
History:
Jonathan Archer was born in 2112 and became a soldier in Starfleet for the Terran Empire, especially when the rebellion started. He spent his younger days romantically involved with Hoshi Sato, and thinking of his command of the ISS Enterprise.
Unfortunately, his command was given to Captain Forrest and Hoshi left him to advance her career with Forrest. Instead, Archer became first officer aboard the ISS Enterprise and outwardly faithful to its captain.
When he found about the Earth ship from the future of an alternate reality the Tholians had captured, he tried to reason with Forrest to capture it. His idea was refused so Archer organised a mutiny and took over the ship, setting course for Tholian space.
He appointed Commander T’Pol his first officer and ordered her to work with Commander Tucker to install a Suliban cloaking device for their mission. His next act was to capture and torture a Tholian for the whereabouts of the ship. Once this was obtained, he locked the course into the computer with a random code and ordered Hoshi, who he had claimed as his own again after becoming captain, to send his findings back to Starfleet in case his mutiny failed.
As it happens, Forrest was freed from the brig and ordered by Starfleet to complete the mission. Archer was given ten hours in the agony booth as punishments for his actions.
Archer was given command of the away team to the future Earth ship, USS Defiant, and told to download the database and destroy the ship. Again, Archer disagreed with Forrest and again he was overruled. Archer watched the Enterprise, with Forrest still on board, be destroyed by Tholians before escaping on the Defiant, picking up Enterprise escape pods as he left.
Unknown to Archer, Forrest had intended for T’Pol to make sure he did not return from the ship but as Enterprise was destroyed, plans changed and T’Pol took her chance to tell this to Archer.
Archer became the captain of the USS Defiant and took her to rendezvous with the rest of the assault fleet from Earth. Whilst on route, Archer searched the database and found out about his alternate self. When they arrived at the battle only one Starfleet ship remained. The ISS Avenger was saved from several rebellion ships but Archer let one go to allow the word to spread.
Admiral Black, captain of the ISS Avenger, congratulated Archer on his timing but refused to give him a battlefield promotion and command of the USS Defiant. Archer, now being taunted by visions of his alternate self, murdered Black and took command of the USS Defiant against orders to bring to back to Earth for reverse engineering.
Archer then ordered all non-humans, except Doctor Phlox - a Denobulan - to leave the ISS Defiant for the ISS Avenger. He was planning to take Earth by storm and crown himself Emperor. Archer destroyed the ISS Avenger after the aliens tried to interfere with his plans.
Archer’s success was short lived as he was betrayed by Hoshi, who poisoned him and crowned herself Empress.

Archer’s success was short lived as he was betrayed by Hoshi, who poisoned him and crowned herself Empress.
Personality:
During Archer’s time before Enterprise, he was a romantic man who excelled in his studies, but he was always described as having no ambitions. This is why Forrest named him his first officer. This was also probably because he asked Margaret Mullin to marry him the night before he graduated but was shot down because she refused to become a "Starfleet widow".
While Archer was searching the Defiant database, he found an alternate version of himself. This man was named "the greatest explorer of the 22nd century" and had two planets named after him. Unlike Archer, his alternate self became captain of the USS Enterprise and earned himself an impressive list of commendations during his service.
Because his jealously over his alternate self, Archer became increasingly irrational and began to have a mental breakdown. He hallucinated his other self taunting him about his lack of respect among other things and began to go increasingly paranoid.
In a fit of desperation to prove himself like the other Archer, who has two planets name after him, he lead a team of soldiers to kill the stowaway on board. Archer almost died in this attempt and many soldiers were killed or wounded.
Archer’s paranoia did not extend to his feelings about Hoshi Sato hence his demise by her hands, this shows he did care for someone during his time but she only cared about advancing her career.
Other:
Archer owns a dog named Porthos, who is a Rottweiler.
He says he doesn’t have a problem with Vulcans until they joined the rebellion.

Current Characters: The "second" Corinthian
Character: Pele
Fandom: Hawaiian Mythology
Character Notes:
History:
(As a note, there's about four or five different stories dealing with the birth of the Pele and her family, giving varying sets of parents and siblings, so for simplicity I'll be going with the most common version.)
Born of the goddess Haumea and the god Moemoe, it's important to note that Pele, Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes (as well as fire, lightning, dance, and violence) wasn't even native born to the land of Hawai'i. She originally hailed from Tahiti, born in the land of Honua-Mea. Known to be a rather restless bunch, Pele and her siblings were known as the first to leave their home in search of new unexplored lands to live.
Wanderlust only seems to be an excuse, though. In reality Pele had actually been chased away from home by her older sister, the ocean goddess Na-maka-o-kaha'i, who had been in a jealous rage over finding Pele had seduced and stolen away her husband. Once they had reached the Hawaiian islands, Pele first attempted to make a home by digging out a fire pit on the island of Kaua'i. Unfortunately, her sister had followed her the entire way, completely hellbent on getting revenge for what had happened back in Tahiti, and once Na-maka found her on Kaua'i she made the waves rise high enough to completely flood the pit Pele had dug, hoping to drown her. Pele escaped, moved onto the next island, and tried again, only to have Na-maka follow in suit to flood that pit as well. The chase continued all down the island chain, and eventually Pele found refuge in the fire pit of Halema'uma'u on Mt. Kilauea, which even her sister's waves could not reach. The volcano summit has been her home ever since, and she still safely mocks her older sister from it to this day. (Fun Fact: Kilauea also happens to currently be the world's most active volcano, lava flows happening pretty regularly.)
Since then, she's had many adventures exploring her new domain, constantly traveling from island to island, and often with a sibling or two in tow. Many of these ventures involve collecting lovers in the various unsuspecting men she comes across, and all too often end with killing those same lovers in fits of jealousy. One well known case is when Pele caught sight of a Kaua'i cheif, who she asked her youngest sister Hi'iaka to bring to the Big Island for her. When Hi'iaka took too long to deliver him, Pele immediately thought she had been betrayed and destroyed Hi'iaka's favorite forest. After finding out what her sister had done, Hi'iaka embraced the young cheif out of spite, and Pele sent lava on them both, killing the mortal man in the process. Another incident involved the snow goddess Poliahu; Pele seduced and won over a man Poliahu had previously claimed, and the snow goddess then attacked them with cold, which once again killed the poor mortal caught in the middle.
Pele didn't only get involved with mortals, however. She also has a long standing history with Kamapua'a, the boar-like god of rainfall. The two have always been in a constant struggle over control of the land, Pele destroying the land with her lava only for Kamapua'a to put her fires out and create new forests in its place. Kamapua'a eventually began attempts to woo her. Pele responded with insults and further destruction. It was only after her brothers begged her to stop the fighting that she decided to take the god as a lover, though conflict between the two continued even after they decided to keep to separate sides of the island. They had a son together, considered to be the ancestor of all chiefs. But as happens with every lover she takes, they didn't last. One day Kamapua'a finally up and left Hawai'i, and headed back to his own island home to be with his family instead. Pele truly had fallen in love with him, and she sang and danced for ages to try and call him back to her. It didn't work, and it was about that time she finally gave up on love altogether.

Pele truly had fallen in love with him, and she sang and danced for ages to try and call him back to her. It didn't work, and it was about that time she finally gave up on love altogether.
Personality:
As you could probably tell from her history, Pele is something of a bitch. Spiteful, vindictive, unnecessarily cruel and the very definition of a spitfire personality. She's quick to anger, difficult to truly placate, easily falls in fits of jealousy and becomes dangerously violent at the smallest provacations. She is also horribly possesive of anything she deems as hers, be it lovers, her family, or her land. Especially her land. In her eyes, she made it, and she can just as easily take it right back. The lava flows are proof enough of that.
If she sees something she wants? She will get it. No matter what. If she has to lie or flirt or throw innocent charm around like confetti, she will, and she'll continue to until she has the object of her desire. If she doesn't, she'll get violent, and then bad horrible things will happen from then on out.
She is highly competitive as well, once challenging a well known sleding champion to a race down the mountain side. He turned her down, refusing to race a woman, and enraged at being spurned Pele sent a torrent of fire and lava toward him. Luckily, he was able to outrun the attack and escaped into the ocean, one of the lucky few to ever survive her wrath.
However, on the other side of the coin, she can, surprisingly, be quite caring and gentle. She's a giver as much as she is a destroyer, always creating new land to replace everything lost in her moments of fury. She can also be very loving and serene to those she's close to. Case in point: her baby sister, Hi'iaka. A fellow goddess of dance and her favorite sibling by far, Pele carried the egg that held Hi'iaka with her on their journey to Hawai'i, and cared for and raised her once they had reached the islands. Even though Pele had once lost her temper with her in the event with the cheif from Kaua'i, she honestly regreted her actions, something almost unheard of from her. Pele also holds great respect for her elders, especially for her older brother Ka-moho-ali'i, shark god and holder of the water of life.
Unsurprisingly, Pele also bores quite easily, and constantly leaves her home in the crater to gallivant up and down the island chain as she pleases. She loves her booze, loves her dancing, and owns a large white dog that appears to have no real name. She has a talent for shapechanging, often appearing as anything from her usual form of a young woman to a large ball of flame. Urban legends also have it that she enjoys playing occasional games with the mortals she comes across, and will take the guise of an old woman and approach them for favors. If the person is kind and helpful, they gain her blessing and good fortune follows. If they don't....well, it kinda sucks to be them, that's all I'm saying.
Other: If accepted, she'll remember her previous time on the community and I'll be taking her from there.

Character: Candy Quackenbush
Fandom: Abarat
Character Notes:
History:There are just some towns with in the United States that provide nothing of interest to the world whatsoever. Even the town of Chickentown, Minnesota, with its high population of chickens that almost certainly outnumbers the population of humans has little to contribute. It’s only mark of fame found in any encyclopedia is that ‘There’s a chicken factory’. And just as the name might suggest, chickens were their main and only export.
With a town with so much going for them, it still seemed that life could be quite dull and flavorless. Yet more extraordinary things have occurred within Chickentown that are both unrecorded and unremembered.
Chickentown used to have a harbor. A fact forgotten over years of disuse and pain. But what exactly did a harbor in the middle of Minnesota connect to? The answer is really quite simple to, the same thing that all harbors of the world connect to. A body of water, and more specifically a sea in the case of Chickentown.
Once upon a time Chickentown had been a place of trade between two worlds. The Hereafter (our world) and the Abarat. The Sea of Izabella connected these two worlds and created a bustling economy filled with trade between the two worlds of spices and tactile from the Hereafter and artifacts, and in some illegal cases, even the secrets of the magic of Abarat. Both worlds were fascinated by each other. But one world was suffering for the connection. Abarat’s society was deeply changed by the selfish greed of the Hereafter world that affected its people and turned them inside out. And the Hereafter was forever changed by the culture and magic of Abarat. Neither world could be a part of the other without some influence over the other. And thus it was decided that they should severe the ties between the worlds.
Years have come and gone since the burning of the harbor and the Abarat has been wiped clean of the memories of the humans. Life in Chickentown went on and progressed into the chicken-crazed culture of the present day town.
But sixteen years ago something happened in the Abarat. Something that would affect the Hereafter too as the soul of the dead Princess Boa was brought across the sea and implanted in a delivering mother’s womb on a rainy night at the edge of the highway. The mother had been on her way to the hospital when they had run out of gas and her husband had gone in search of a gas station. And it was there that three women visited her and opened a box of light before they disappeared again.
On that night Candy Quackenbush was born.
Melissa Quackenbush barely remembered the event or the strangeness surrounding it. Like how the weather was particularly bad that day, or why the air seemed to smell of the sea. She even forgot about the women and the light. And thus Candy never really knew of the strange circumstances of her birth. And thus, life progressed as it would normally.
Melissa had two more children, Candy’s younger brothers, and Bill lost his job at the chicken factory. Bill’s loss of a job affected him greatly and transformed him from the once handsome and friendly man into the bitter and cruel drunk Candy had come to know and fear. For sixteen years Candy grew up in this horrible setting of a life. In a town that stifled the oddities out of it, with a father who would abuse her both physically and verbally, and with a mother who had once been so full of life only to have it drained from her weary eyes.
Candy felt suppressed and lost in this world. Always drifting through her life and searching for meaning that never seemed to come.
She never realized that an assignment about Chickentown assigned by the chicken-proud Miss Schwartz would forever change her life and introduce her to a world beyond her imagination.
Finally, rejoining the game!

Character: Bruce Banner
Fandom: The Incredible Hulk (2008 film)
Character Notes:
History: Bruce Banner was a physicist at Culver University in Virginia. He was dearly in love with his girlfriend and co-worker, fellow scientist Betty Ross, when her father, a U.S. Army General, hired them to work on Project Gamma Pulse. Told that the project's aims were to come up with a way to immunize soldiers to radiation, Bruce, a near genius level intellect, put his all into it - and ended up with the cellular mutation that transforms him into the Hulk.
Five years later found him on the run in Brazil, General Ross desperate to recover what were in fact the first promising results in the supersoldier program - in other words, to figure out how Bruce's mutation worked and to replicate it in others as a weapon. In the years since his initial transformation and subsequently almost killing Betty, Bruce worked tirelessly on getting control of his anger. But there were still several failures: he was implicated in the deaths of at least five people throughout the U.S. and Canada, and finally he found himself fleeing the continent altogether, impoverished, homeless, and destitute. In Brazil, he learned Capoeira, picked up Portuguese, and got a job at a local bottling factory. One minor slip up lead General Ross and his team to his location.
Eventually Bruce returned to the States in the hope of a cure and reconnected with Betty. There was a big mess with the military and a lot of destruction and running around. Long story short, numerous attempts at a cure were met with failure. With new knowledge that it might be possible to control the Hulk while in that state, Bruce leaves Betty once again, evading armed forces as he departs, and settles in the wilds of British Columbia to work on his already-impressive level of control.
This is the same universe the other recent Marvel movies are set in, notably including the Iron Man franchise.
Personality: Character-wise, Bruce is quiet, guilt-ridden, and uncommunicative. He's incurably paranoid and justifiably so - he hasn't used credit cards or had an ID in years, and he rarely uses his real name. It's easy to understate how deeply he feels responsible for what he does as the Hulk, but in one deleted scene from the movie we see that he tried to kill himself in the Arctic of Alaska, only to be stopped by the Hulk itself. In some story lines in the comics, the Hulk is written almost as an alternate personality, but in the end it is simply an expression of repressed anger and hurt. In a very real sense, there is something of it in everyone alive.
Bruce states himself in the movie that he isn't interested in controlling that other force, only in getting rid of it. This is a very childish, if understandable, reaction. Wanting to 'get rid of it' as he does lends it more power, and it's at the end of the movie when he decides to try to control it that he's able to accomplish something more - a glimpse of a reasoning, thinking Hulk. There's hints of this earlier, when it protected Betty and took care of her, but those were abstract and basic concepts. Once Bruce does work in cooperation with it, the Hulk speaks and starts to understand consequences on both a real and emotional level.
A decisive, unassuming person, Bruce doesn't flinch from his circumstances. He is withdrawn and broods more than is healthy, but in the end he is very practical and constructive about what he does. When it's more prudent for him to return to civilization instead of retreating to hermitage, he does so. He is, actually, very lonely, and longs for something as simple as being able to make friends without putting them in danger - yet his sense of responsibility is too strong to put aside. He's a person that takes absolutely nothing for granted.
He does have a sense of humor, sardonic and rarely seen, and in average interactions is calm, unjudging, and even kind.
History: Bruce Banner was a physicist at Culver University in Virginia. He was dearly in love with his girlfriend and co-worker, fellow scientist Betty Ross, when her father, a U.S. Army General, hired them to work on Project Gamma Pulse. Told that the project's aims were to come up with a way to immunize soldiers to radiation, Bruce, a near genius level intellect, put his all into it - and ended up with the cellular mutation that transforms him into the Hulk.
Five years later found him on the run in Brazil, General Ross desperate to recover what were in fact the first promising results in the supersoldier program - in other words, to figure out how Bruce's mutation worked and to replicate it in others as a weapon. In the years since his initial transformation and subsequently almost killing Betty, Bruce worked tirelessly on getting control of his anger. But there were still several failures: he was implicated in the deaths of at least five people throughout the U.S. and Canada, and finally he found himself fleeing the continent altogether, impoverished, homeless, and destitute. In Brazil, he learned Capoeira, picked up Portuguese, and got a job at a local bottling factory. One minor slip up lead General Ross and his team to his location.
Eventually Bruce returned to the States in the hope of a cure and reconnected with Betty. There was a big mess with the military and a lot of destruction and running around. Long story short, numerous attempts at a cure were met with failure. With new knowledge that it might be possible to control the Hulk while in that state, Bruce leaves Betty once again, evading armed forces as he departs, and settles in the wilds of British Columbia to work on his already-impressive level of control.
This is the same universe the other recent Marvel movies are set in, notably including the Iron Man franchise.
Personality: Character-wise, Bruce is quiet, guilt-ridden, and uncommunicative. He's incurably paranoid and justifiably so - he hasn't used credit cards or had an ID in years, and he rarely uses his real name. It's easy to understate how deeply he feels responsible for what he does as the Hulk, but in one deleted scene from the movie we see that he tried to kill himself in the Arctic of Alaska, only to be stopped by the Hulk itself. In some story lines in the comics, the Hulk is written almost as an alternate personality, but in the end it is simply an expression of repressed anger and hurt. In a very real sense, there is something of it in everyone alive.

Current Characters: Hibari Kyoya and Albel Nox
Character: Mihael "Mello" Keehl
Fandom: Death Note
Character Notes:
History:
• An orphan, and former resident of the Wammy's House, located in Winchester, England. Wammy's, with the appearance of any other orphanage, exists with the sole intention of creating an "L"; a genius detective possessing superior knowledge. With the current "L" deceased, a new successor must be chosen.
• The young Mihael, possessing above average intelligence, is raised alongside many talented children. As is customary in the Wammy's House, he is assigned a letter (M), and to protect his new identity, is given the less conspicuous code-name, "Mello". Ranked according to his abilities, he is placed 2nd beside the reticent Near.
• With the death of L, and the choice between Near and Mello left undecided, the two are asked to work together. Insulted, Mello vehemently declines.
• Repulsed by the thought of cooperating with his rival, Mello leaves the Wammy's House. Determined to become to new "L", and free from interference, Mello pursues a life of criminal gain.
• Using illegal means, and a connection to the Mafia, Mello seeks both the Death Note⎯a dangerous book that kills with the use of names and faces, and the demise of Kira⎯a murderer, responsible for the death of L, and at present, possessor of 1 of 2 Death Notes.
Personality:
• A manipulative young man, Mello uses both his intelligence and his charm to outsmart and deceive his would-be captors. Above all else, a brilliant schemer with dreams of grandeur.
• Fearless. Dangerous, and unpredictable. Motivated by jealousy, and driven by desperation, Mello is often times careless. Depending solely on his emotions, he is quick to act on impulse.
• However selfish, Mello is not without conscience. He is neither ignorant of, nor blind to, the suffering caused by his destructive methods.
• Despite his impressive intelligence, Mello is intensely jealous, envying and even targeting those who view themselves as "superior". Underneath the dramatic bravado, he is deeply insecure. Ranked 2nd only to Near, he considers himself inferior. What Mello desires most is the status and prestige of "1st".
• Mello seeks only to achieve his own ends; to become the new "L". Unlike his rival Near, Mello displays little interest in the "just and fair".
• With a focus that neither wavers, nor wanes, Mello will doggedly pursue a goal. It does not matter if lives are at risk. ⎯For the title of "No. 1", most brilliant and best, and second to none, Mello will gladly, and hastily, risk his own.
Other:
• Mello, much like his mentor L, possesses an inexplicable lust for sugar. Mello surrounds himself with chocolate. He keeps a bar or two on-hand, snacking compulsively, and habitually snapping off chunks.
• He is a Sagittarius, born on December 14th. At current, his age is 19.
• Assumed to be Catholic, Mello wears a beaded rosary, and collects religious artifacts.
• Although sociable, Mello maintains very few relationships. Outside of the Mafia, his closest contact is Mail "Matt" Jeevas. ⎯Another product of the Wammy's house, ranked 3rd beside Mello himself.

First Person (entry type):
Near... You stole everything from me. It's... all your fault, you know. Your whole existence is to blame. No matter what I did, or how hard at this I worked, I... God! It's like you weren't even trying! Like you didn't even care! Like you weren't even happy! You'd just give me that stupid grin... Just leave and go back to your goddamned puzzle. ⎯Why the hell do you have to be like that! Near, do you even want to be L? If not, then, how can I lose to someone like you? Is this just another game you're playing? Another white puzzle to solve? ...Do you give a damn either way?
Third Person:
It was pouring rain the night he left, cold and blustery, as were most Winchester nights. Of course, tonight would be much different. Tonight, he'd leave that prison behind. ⎯The Wammy's House, with its tall iron gates... Its noisy halls, and invasive stares. Its assignments and rankings, and...
Failures.
No. He hadn't failed. ...Not yet. He stopped to catch his breath, rain matting his hair and obscuring his vision. Mello narrowed his eyes, teeth clenched, and lips numb from the cold. No turning back now, and no reason to hurry. ⎯It wasn't as if they'd come to retrieve him.
Mello sneered, a bitter, resentful grimace of sorts.
It must have been some kind of joke. Did Roger really... Did Roger intend for them to work together? ⎯Near... Near used people like pawns on a board. Like a puzzle, he figured them out by matching the edges. Approaching, interacting with them as he would an equation. ...He'd always hated that about the boy. But, Mello... Mello was more than just a puzzle piece. More than the name that he'd been given. No, Mello would do things differently. This time, he'd do it his way, free from the bindings of law and restraint. He'd go underground. He'd find Kira first... Steal the Death Note, and reclaim his place.
Now, only a single slot remained.
Surely, the title of "L" belonged to him!

Character: Elektra Natachios
Fandom: Daredevil (early Marvel movieverse)
Character Notes:
History:
Elektra, just as her name implies, has lead a tragic life. Even tragedies in the making have innocent years. For Elektra, these were the first five years of her life. This was the time where her mother was still alive. Her father was dedicated to making her the best through rigorous training. His methods were questionable. We see in flashbacks that he would make her tread water in a pool for long periods of time without her hands, even when she was clearly starting to drown. But, it wasn’t all bad. Her mother would try to talk him and afterward she would comfort her.
Elektra was happy living like this until the day she witnessed her mother’s murder. An assassin from the Hand, for reasons unknown, killed her mother as young Elektra watched. Elektra was too stunned to react as the killer fled. When what she had witnessed started to sink in, she was devastated. The little girl took the necklace her mother often wore off her body and laid down next to her until the murder was discovered by the rest of the household.
After that, they left the home Elektra had grown up in and never looked back. Her father intensified her training from then on. Every year she got a new martial arts teacher so she would never be a victim like her mother before her. She excelled in her lessons and became everything her father wanted her to be; the model daughter worthy to be heir to the Natachios family.

She excelled in her lessons and became everything her father wanted her to be; the model daughter worthy to be heir to the Natachios family.
Personality:
Elektra is the perfect loyal, devoted daughter. She strives to make herself the best. Why? Because that is what her father expects of her. There is no task that is put in front of her that she will not do everything in her power to excel at. Failure is not an option for her. Needless to say this does not win her friends. She is perfectly content with that.
Elektra is a closed off, distrusting person. When she meets someone she refuses to give her name. She does everything in her power to push whoever tries to speak to her away (if her bodyguards do not get to it first). She is even willing to get violent if that is what it takes to get rid of them. She has no desire to have anyone in her life aside from her father.
That is on the surface though. Deep down Elektra is lonely and unhappy. She often ditches her bodyguards just to get away from it all. The pressure of her father’s demands puts a huge strain on her emotionally which caused her to develop Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. She suffers from terrible nightmares about her mother’s death. A great part of her just longs to connect with someone just to ease the pressure and loneliness.
One day it does happen. Elektra meets her kindred spirit in the form of a blind lawyer from Hell’s Kitchen named Matt Murdock. He will be someone who can keep up with her physically and emotionally being no stranger to tragedy and high expectations from a father himself. When Elektra is with him, we see an entirely different side of her. She can be playful and caring to the needs and desires of people aside from her father.
During their fight in the playground, he jokes with her about why they are fighting (he just wants her name) and she quickly returns that he should try getting her number. When Matt later requests on their first date that she stay with him so he can see what she looks like in the rain (when it rains, he claims that he can almost see again) and she obliges despite the fact she was trying to leave the date sooner. When Matt tries to leave the early date too (he overhears someone being mugged due to his enhanced hearing), she stops him and later does not question him about it; she lets him keep his secrets.
Other:
While I use examples from later in movie to explain Elektra's personality, she will be taken pre-canon. That is why her history sections mentions nothing of the movie; just her backstory. Speaking of which, her backstory is almost entirely from the movie Elektra which is the spin off sequel to Daredevil with support from what Elektra tells Matt in the movie about her past. This includes the mention of her OCD which is revealed in Elektra.
Fun fact: It is up in the air if Elektra is in the same universe as Tony Stark. Early Marvel movies like Spider-Man, Daredevil and X-Men didn't think it was important to remind people that most of these people should logically know of each other. That is why despite the fact that Elektra Natachios, Matt Murdock, and Peter Parker all live in the same city none of them are ever mentioned in each others movies. This is made even more hilarious by the fact that comic canon wise Spider-Man and Daredevil are best friends, allies, and know of each others secret identities.

Character: Dexter Morgan (nee Dexter Moser)
Fandom: Dexter (TV series, Season 5)
Edited 2010-10-07 22:16 (UTC)
Character Notes:
History: Dexter was, as he says, "born in blood." His mother was murdered in front of him when he was only a toddler. And Detective Harry Morgan discovers him, and soon after adopts him. It is later revealed that Dexter's mother was a lover of Harry's. When Dexter starts exhibiting sociopathic tendencies as a child, Harry teaches him how to fake emotions. And when he starts having the urge to kill, Harry encourages him by taking him hunting. When animals are no longer enough to satiate Dexter, Harry proposes something: what if a dangerous killer makes his way through the cracks of the justice system? Dexter could then dispose of him neatly so that no one would ever know. And thus, Harry's Code and Dexter's entire way of life, was born. The two main points of the Code being: don't get caught, and only hurt bad people.
Even after Harry dies, Dexter continues to ruthlessly adhere to his code, only killing other serial killers. He is eventually hired by the Miami Police Department as a blood spatter analyst, where he has resources and access to the most dangerous people in Florida. Debra, Harry's daughter and Dexter's foster sister, is made a Homicide Detective and they work alongside one another. In the first season, it is revealed that Deb's fiance is the elusive Ice Truck Killer, and in another stackable realization Dexter finds out that Brian Moser is also his brother. His biological brother who was also in that storage unit filled with blood. But Harry hadn't saved him, he had saved Dexter. And Dexter had to kill his brother in order to protect Deb from the truth. (And also, all those poor armless hookers.)
There is also a man whom Dexter actually befriends in season three, Miguel Prado, who he tries to teach about Harry's Code. But after Miguel's first kill it is apparent to Dexter that he doesn't understand, and Dexter kills the man himself.
Dexter (at first as a cover more than anything) dates and later marries Rita Bennett. And thus Astor and Cody Bennett, her children, enter into his life. Their drug addict father will find himself in prison because of Dexter's innocent meddling, and later die in prison. Dexter and Rita go on to have a child together as well, named after the most important influence on Dexter's life: Harrison. The end of season four would find Rita Morgan, dead in a bathtub, baby Harrison crying in her blood. "Born in blood," just like his father. She was killed by the Trinity Killer whom Dexter befriends and tries to glean insight from as he too is living the lie of a wife and children. But he fails to kill him in time to save his own family, and thus blames himself for Rita's death.
I will be playing Dexter through season five as he attempts to come to grips with her death and being a single father, as well as trying to find time for his extracurricular pursuits.

Character Notes:
History: SPOILERS FOR PHOENIX WRIGHT: ACE ATTORNEY.
Considering how a good 99% of Manfred's actual history is virtually unknown, have some headcanon! If you need clarification on anything, just let me know.
Manfred von Karma grew up in post-war Western Germany, with his ex-Nazi father and...non-Nazi mother, who did her best to shelter him from his father's violent, ego-manical tendencies. Both his mother and father urged him to be 'perfect', although considering that the concept of 'perfect' was different for each parent, this led to Manfred having a very confusing, lonely childhood, striving to meet both of his parents' needs while surviving though a complicated political climate and a recovering nation.
During his teen years, Manfred excelled at school and graduated early. Upon realizing that, after all of the years his parents spent urging him to perfect, they were as imperfect as everone else, Manfred becomes bitter and angry, not to mention confused and unsure of everything he's done with his life so far. Deciding that he desperately needs a change of pace, he departs to the United States to study abroad.
While in the States, he studies law both at an American institution and through abroad studying programs via his original university in Germany. He passes his bar exam at age 25, and begins practicing shortly thereafter.
...believe it or not, Manfred did not start out as being the crazy, perfection-obsessed conniving sonofabitch every Ace Attorney fan is woefully familiar with. Determined to discover a meaning of 'perfection' without the needling of his parents, Manfred stives to win every single case he can, bringing crimminals to justice...using the power of the law (and ONLY the law) as his guide and aid.
However. After years of becoming further disillusioned by the faults of the system, Manfred slowly begins to care more about maintaining his perfect record than seeing justice be served. This record is maintained until the end of his forty year career.
At age 48, his second daughter, Franziska, is born. He has an older daughter, presumably in her early 20's, but she is never directly mentioned in-game. He also has a wife, but details about her are also unknown.
At age 50, Manfred recieves the first and only black mark on his record in his entire prosecuting career; in a case against his rival, Gregory Edgeworth, he is slighted for falsifying evidence, and is given a penalty. He is enraged by this to the point where his thought process is practically incoherant, and later that day, he uses a blackout at the courthouse caused by an earthquake to murder Edgeworth, and begins his complicated fifteen-year-long revenge by taking Gregory's son, Miles, udner his wing. The twisted thing is, he raises Miles to be a prosecutor, everything that his father wasn't, and subtely manipulates the boy into believing that he was the one to kill his father. It was the perfect revenge in Manfred's eyes, and all goes well for fifteen years.
At age 65, he begins his final trial; State v. Edgeworth, in which his pupil is accused of murdering Robert Hammond, a defense attorney who found the initial suspect of Gregory's murder innocent. This is all part of Manfred's plan to finally break Miles, but unfortunetly, all does not go as planned when the upstart attorney Phoenix Wright takes on Miles's defense. Not only is Manfred's plan shattered when Miles is proven innocent, but Phoenix is even able to prove him guilty of Gregory's murder.
After his...rather amusing breakdown in court, Manfred is arrested. Neither hide nor hair of him is seen throughout the rest of the series, and one has to wonder what he's been getting up to since then...

Character: Arthur Pendragonnot_a_clotpole
Fandom: Merlin
Character Notes:
History: SPOILERS
As Crown Prince of Camelot Arthur has a lot of expectations placed on him and he places a lot on himself. He generally hides any uncertainties and fears he won't be good enough under a mask of cockiness and bravado.
Arthur idolises his father, King Uther, however in recent years they have clashed more than once over important issues especially in terms of how to tread the lower classes in Camelot and beyond.
Arthur is also close to his father's ward - Morgana, the two have a sibling-like relationship and love to tease each other, but when push come to shove Arthur will do anything (even disobey his father) to help her out.
A few months before his 21st birthday an out of towner by the name of Merlin saved him from an assassination attempt, and as a reward the King made the strange fellow Arthur's personal manservant. The two have a complex relationship which varies between friendship and relentless teasing. Whatever weirdness Merlin displays (and he displays it often) he's fiercely loyal to Arthur something which he deeply appreciates - no matter how many objects Arthur throws in Merlin's direction.
When it comes to romance Arthur's in a very precarious position, he is in love with Morgana's handmaiden - Guinevere and if the difference in class wasn't a big enough hurdle there is also the fact that his father had her father executed. Gwen doesn't seem to hold that against him, but ever practical she doesn't believe their relationship can possibly work. For his part, Arthur doesn't think it's fair to make her wait for the day when he will be King and can make whatever rules he likes. In the meantime the specter of an arranged marriage hangs over his head.
Arthur knows almost nothing about his mother because Uther refuses to talk about her, partly because of grief and partly because he is keeping a terrible secret (that is he asked a witch to use magic so Arthur could be concieved. The price for this magic was Igraine's life - a price Uther apparently didn't know about and as a result magic of any kind is punishable by death in Camelot and just after Igraine's death Uther instituted a Great Purge in which hundreds of men, women and children were killed sometimes on the flimsiest of evidence).
Personality:
As mentioned, Arthur is cocky - or in Merlin's words a clotpole (or prat if he's feeling nice). When you first meet him he comes off as someone who is every inch a prince, destined for the crown. He is fiercely competitive, but fears others might go 'easy on him' since he is the heir to the throne which fuels his doubts in his abilities.
As a Knight of Camelot Arthur places a huge amount of importance on the Knights Code of Honour - he'll never back out of a properly issued challenge even if the odds appear entirely against him.He also values fairness in so far as the lower classes are not taken advantage of and are protected (in the face of his father's more pragmatic approach of protecting and valuing the nobility). These views have become firmer thanks to his friendship with Merlin and his feelings for Guinevere.
Arthur carries around some guilt for being responsible (as he sees it) for his mother, Igraine's death as she died giving birth to him. He wishes desperately that he could have known her and have at least some sort of memory about her.
He also wants to please his father, for most of his life in fact he thought he was a disappointment to King Uther, his father has told him nothing could be further from the truth but because of Uther's own personality (cold, angry and paranoid) Arthur sometimes finds it hard to believe.
Despite his gnerally prattish and snobby behaviour, Arthur cares a great deal for the people of Camelot and wants to be a king they can be proud of.

Other:
Arthur is an expert warrior 'trained to kill since birth' in his own words. For a number of years he was Champion (and technically still is, even though a chap called Sir William holds the honours) and is skilled in swordfighting, archery, jousting, hand to hand combat and prides himself on his ability with a mace.
At present Arthur is unaware of his manservant/friend Merlin's magical abilities - although he does wonder from time to time how someone as clumsy as Merlin always manages to survive (and often save him in the process!).
Arthur's own view of magic is convoluted, he is not as paranoid as his father, but due to an incident involving the 'ghost' of his mother he tends to believe that those who use magic do so only for evil purposes. (The jury's still out on whether he really did meet his mother or if it was a trick).
He also unaware of Morgana's abilities and the fact that she is plotting revenge against his father, there is also (as of episode 5 of series 3) a chance Morgana may be plotting against him as well, but she is being careful to keep up an act so as far as Arthur's concerned he and Morgana are close as ever.

Enrty on Arthur (specific to the TV series
First Person (entry type):
Right...what's this? What's going on?
I'm armed, you know, so don't try anything funny.
Well! This is interesting, I don't think I've ever come across a book like this - Monmouth's holding out on us.
I suppose I should introduce myself, although you really should know who I am (then again...some people don't seem to - not to name namesMerlin.) I am Prince Arthur of Camelot.
Knight.
Champion.
Who are you then? Don't be shy...I don't bite.
Third Person:
Prince Arthur of Camelot has had a Hell of a day, no thanks to Merlin.
He briefly considers ordering his servant to the stocks, but decides against it, since some of what happened was in very small part Arthur's own fault.
Not that he'd ever let anyone know that.
Besides, Merlin's going to have to clean up all this mess, which is punishment enough, the mud that's caked on him practically head to toe has the most horredeous smell and it's caught in his chainmail - Merlin will be scrubbing and shining it for some time.
Flopping down in the nearest chair Arthur pouts as he take another look at his helmet - his favourite one - which is now sporting a huge dent, but he supposes better the helmet then his face.
Honestly, Merlin was supposed to be keeping a look out! Arthur's brilliant of course, but even he has his limits, he can't shoot deer and be aware of wild boars in the area at the same time. That's what servants are for anyway.
There's a knock on the door - which means its not Merlin, but the person doesn't wait for an invitation to enter so it's...
Morgana.
She stops mid-greeting and titters. "Wonderful look...I think all of Camelot's finest should follow your example."
"Don't you have guard to annoy?"
She folds her arms. "I do not annoy guards."
"Oh please, every day you have one in there, it's your hobby -" he makes quite the show of waving his hands and speaking in a high pitched voice. "Mouse, mouse! Oh wait...it's gone, so sorry...you'll have to come back."
"At least I don't eat them."
For a moment Arthur is struck speechless...he can't believe Merlin spread that around!
The stocks are calling after all.

Fandom: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Character Notes:
History:SO once upon at time there was a very small teenager named Simon. Simon was shy, awkward and a typical teenager. He had no friends, but a pet molepig (Boota) and this guy who kind of bothered him and made him call him Aniki a lot and made him do all sorts of things that got him into trouble. Simon worked all day, the same thing, day after day, digging tunnels to expand the underground village he lived for—Jiiha. Girls called him dirty and smelly. Boys avoided him because he was so small. Simon lived a very lonely existence, being orphaned at the age of seven in a cave-in. Like the other orphans in Jiiha, Simon was kept under the care of the village “chief,” who was a rat bastard who beat up on them when they didn't listen to him and forced them to work digging tunnels or they wouldn't be allowed to eat. Anyone who spoke against him ended up imprisoned.
Simon was not very fond of this way of life and longed for a life away from “day after day.” Unfortunately for him, Kamina was willing to give him that life—by means of trying to get to the surface. Now, you have to understand, for a thousand years, no one from Jiiha had ever seen the surface. Just like Santa Claus, Zeus and Pluto being a planet, it had faded into merely myth. People called Kamina crazy and stupid. No one believed in him. Except, maybe, for Simon.
You see, Simon genuinely liked Kamina. Maybe he had a pull toward the adrenaline Kamina always provided, or maybe it was just the fact that someone treated him like family, or maybe it was simply that someone didn't point and laugh at him whenever he came near, but Simon always did his best when the older boy was involved.
And that was how he always played a pivotal part in Kamina's “reach-the-surface” plots. And why, on the day the story of Gurren Lagann starts, it was how Simon became the one he shared the surface with.

Character: Manfred von Karma
Fandom: Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban
Character Notes:
History:
Manfred's past is virtually unknown, with neither hide nor hair of his parents, childhood, teen years or early adulthood seen in the slightest. He became a prosecuting attorney at the age of 25, and maintained a perfect record up until age 65, forty years of constant guilty verdicts. He has a wife, two daughters, and a granddaughter. His youngest daughter, Franziska, is also a prosecutor (began practicing at age 13, she was born when Manfred was 48), and the entire family hails from Germany, although it would appear that Manfred has set up residence in Los Angeles. He also adopts Miles Edgeworth as a son when the boy is nine years old.
At age 50 (28 December 2001), Manfred went up against Gregory Edgeworth, a defense attorney, in a trial that would later be known as DL-6. Having maintained a completely spotless record up until this point, it came as a huge shock when Gregory was able to prove that Manfred falsified evidence for the trial, earning the prosecutor a permanent black mark on his record. Manfred was enraged, so much that he could barely think straight. After the trial, there was a massive earthquake that shook the entire city, cutting the courthouse's power and trapping Gregory, his young son Miles, and a court bailiff named Yanni Yogi in an elevator for five hours. Due to oxygen deprivation (because elevators are airtight in Japanifornia!), Yogi began to panic, eventually attacking Gregory. In his sudden assault, the gun from his belt fell off, and Miles, who was determined to stop the two from fighting, picked it up and threw it. The gun discharged when it was thrown, and the bullet went through the glass viewing window of the elevator and into the shoulder of an unsuspecting Manfred, who had been standing outside waiting for the power to come back on. The combined pain from the trial earlier and the newfound wound through Manfred into a homicidal delirium, and as the power came back on and the elevator door slid open, he picked up the gun and used it to shoot Gregory, who had since passed out (along with the other two occupants) due to the lack of oxygen.
The initial suspect of the case, Yogi, was found innocent due to a plea of insanity, and Manfred was never held under suspicion. Fearful that he would be, however, Manfred took a six month vacation to allow his shoulder to heal, and never got the bullet removed (that would leave a doctor as a witness, after all). However, even after killing the man, Manfred felt that his revenge on Gregory was still unfulfilled. He decided to take in Miles, who was nine at the time, and raised him to be a prosecutor; everything that Gregory wasn't. He also subtly manipulated Miles into believing that he was the one who killed his father (by leading him to believe that the bullet he discharged while throwing the gun hit his father, not Manfred), and while their relationship for the next fifteen years is largely ambiguous, they develop a certain level of mentor-student respect, even if Manfred only sees Miles as a pawn to use in his complicated web of revenge.

History:
Nikki is a poor, young woman living in Texas. She has anger management issues and is currently ordered by the court to take a class after ripping some dude's clothes to shreds because he wouldn't take them out of the dryer. She was born in Las Vegas, Nevada however and had to move because of an abusive boyfriend who she was going to kill. Nikki is the fourth sibling out of six. Three boys and three girls in total. Like the freaking Brady Bunch. She likes alcohol quite a bit and gets drunk often, probably to ease whatever pain she's feeling.
Nikki has become friends with Stella and Alexandria. They go to the Dive Bar every night after Therapy and just have fun and drink and smoke. She smokes quite a bit, especially when she's drinking, and if she isn't smoking, she's sucking on a lollipop. Nikki and her two friends decided one drunken night to follow an abusive husband who had come into the bar earlier that night to beat his wife. Stella got pissed and ended up ramming his car a few times, causing him to go off the cliff and set on fire, inevitable killing him. After that, women began to come to them, asking for "pest control" of horrible and abusive husbands. Nikki and Stella took up the offer while coy Alex shied away from it. Alex does not know what her two best friends do in their free time.
Personality: Nikki is; Abrasive, Impulsive, Vengeful, Intelligent, A Grammar Nazi, A Sexual Persuasion Ninja, Witty, Sarcastic, Manipulative, Quick Whipped, Big Mouthed, Angry, Aggressive, Quick to Act, Bi Polar, Doesn't Give Up, Does What She Has To Do, Loyal, Trustworthy, Blunt, Does not trust others easily, Mentally Unstable, Crazy, and Pretty Friendly.

willbitebackCharacter: Charlotte A. Cavatica
Fandom: Charlotte's Web
Character Notes:
History:
Not much is known about Charlotte's history beyond the events of the book. She lives in the barn of a farm owned by a man named Zuckerman, and judging by the ways in which she interacts with the other animals, it's likely that she's been there for a while-- possibly for her entire life.
One day, farmer Zuckerman buys a pig-- called Wilbur-- from his young niece, Fern. Charlotte watches him for a time, and decides that she likes him-- so she introduces herself and the two become friends. Unfortunately, a sheep that has been on the farm for many years gives Wilbur some bad news: he's being kept to be fattened up, and then he'll be slaughtered and eaten.
Distraught, Wilbur goes to Charlotte, asking her if what the sheep says is true. Though she doesn't know for sure herself (likely not having yet been born when the last pig was kept at Zuckerman farms), she believes the sheep, and promises Wilbur that she will not let him die. Though she doesn't know yet how she will save his life, she's confident that she will come up with something.
Eventually, Charlotte gets the idea to spin complementary words in her web that hangs in the barn doorway above Wilbur's pen-- first "some pig", then "terrific", then "radiant", and finally "humble". Thinking it a miracle, people come from far and wide to see the sight, and conclude that he must be a miraculous and special pig. The story culminates in a trip to the country fair, where Wilbur wins a special prize made created just for him, and he, Charlotte, Fern, and the rest of the animals become certain that Zuckerman would never kill and eat the animal that inspired "miracles" and brought him such fame.
By this time, Charlotte is very old and tired. She creates an egg sac (she calls it her "magnum opus"; apparently spiders know what Latin is in Charlotte's Web), the laying of which saps the last bit of her strength-- by the time she's finished, she can't even manage to climb back down into Wilbur's crate to return to the farm. She dies alone, after everyone has left.
