Character: Kobato Hasegawa
Fandom: Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai
Character Notes:
History: Kobato lives with her brother Kodaka, who she calls "An-chan." Their mother is deceased and their father is abroad for his work, so they live on their own together. Most days, when Kobato isn't at her middle school, she will sit at home and watch reruns and new episodes of her favorite anime, Full Metal Necromancer. As her brother begins to pay less attention to her and more attention to the Neighbors Club at is school, she begins to slowly get jealous that her brother isn't paying as much attention to her as he used to. Eventually, Kobato heads to the high school to see what her brother keeps getting distracted with, then ends up trying to save her brother in a virtual reality game.

Upon arriving at the Neighbors' Club, she sees Maria is acting as though Kodaka is her older brother and declares war on Maria as a vampire against a denizen of the church and joins the club officially, despite being in middle school. Since she has no friends, Yozora allows it, since the Neighbors' Club is a Club solely dedicated to helping people who have no friends make some.

Kobato follows the club around, going with them on their "club activities" as a member, though when it's hotter out she will stay home. That is, until the air conditioning breaks and she decides to brave the heat to make it to club, where there is still air conditioning.

Personality: Kobato is the younger sister of Kodaka. Of course, her true name is Reysis Vi Felicity Sumeragi, a true ancestor of the children of the night!

Only not really, she's just a young girl who happens to love her favorite anime called Full Metal Necromancer. about that character, to the point that she imitates the main character to the point of cosplay and pretending that tomato juice is the blood of virgins.

Kobato loves her older brother dearly, though she intentionally treats him like a servant. Making her dinner is "offerings" and even if she hates part of her dinner, she will eat it as long as Kodaka feeds it to her, suggesting that if it's for her brother, she'll definitely do it. She's got a huge brother complex and gets pretty jealous over her brother. She trusts her brother completely and doesn't have a problem doing things like running out completely naked to hug him if something goes wrong and she needs to cry on him. She'll also crawl into bed with him sometimes if she doesn't feel good.

Most of the time, she'll speak in a frivolous, bombast manner in order to make herself seem like a fancy vampire, but if she gets embarrassed or upset she'll easily slip into yelling or getting extremely shy. She does get somewhat possessive of her brother, continually getting into fights with Maria because of it. Outside of her quirks and determination to pretend she's a 10,000 year old vampire, she's a pretty average girl. Homework procrastination, hating hot weather, and trying to show that she can totally do that math problem even if it takes her the entire trip somewhere to figure it out just because her brother asked her to are some average things for her. For the most part her hobbies include sitting around watching TV and bothering An-chan.

Kobato frequently adds on an "evil" laugh of "kukuku" at the end or beginning of her sentences when she acts "in character" for her vampire self. This doesn't, by any means, mean that she knows what half the words she says mean or that they're correct. Ashtaroth? Or was it Astarot? Maybe Asutoro... Decrepit? Descript? Same thing probably.

Other: -She has a stuffed rabbit as part of her cosplay of the main character of Fullmetal Necromancer.
-She frequently argues with Maria, but she even more frequently runs away terrified from Sena.

Kobato needs constant rescuing from Sena.
Wiki for Haganai. She is the 4th character listed.

First Person (entry type): Kukuku, it would appear as though a number of my brethren have already infiltrated the likes of your community! Ahh, the powers of darkness are already here but haven't moved as they were waiting for me, the ancient ancestor of the children of the night, Reysis Vi Felicity Sumeragi! Kukuku, prepare yourselves and offer me the blood of your virgins in order to sate my--

W-Wait, I didn't mean actual blood... An-chan usually just gives me tomato juice... --A-Ah, no, I mean..! [ She holds up her hand, two fingers in a sideways V shape before her red contact covered eye. ] Kukuku, I will accept your offering, mortal! May the portals to the dark abyss be merciful toward you in exchange for this noble sacrifice!

Third Person:
Her brother was late. Kobato had decided not to go to club with him today. The air conditioning had been fixed and the travel time between here and school was much less desireable than she would appreciate, but if Kodaka was going to start coming home later than normal she would have to start bearing the weather.

Kobato didn't really want to deal with it, but since there was air conditioning both at home and in the Neighbors' Club meeting room, the only downside for going was that travel time in the heat. Kobato slumped on the couch slightly, her skirt catching on the fabric just slightly. No one was here right now so it didn't really matter though. Still, Kobato couldn't help but pout at her dilemma. Be with An-chan or avoid the weather? If she didn't go, that idiot Maria was going to hog him all to herself...

Maybe she would start going every day now...

The blonde looked to the side, hugging her stuffed rabbit to her chest as the commercials on the television interrupted her show. Double downer. Kobato pulled her knees onto the couch, kneeling on the cushions as she placed her hands on the spine of the couch to stare at the door with an air of tumultous debate. Just then, the door cracked open and Kobato swung back to her sitting position on the couch, back straight, and looked over to the door as though she hadn't just been wishing her An-chan would come home.

"Kukuku, my kindred hath returned after much delay! What offerings do you bring me to compensate for such an admonishment of an ancient one such as myself?"

Oh good, he brought home takoyaki!

Character: The Once-ler
Fandom: The Lorax
Character Notes:

History:

Once-ler grew up in the countryside, in a small farm with an uncaring mother, a nasty aunt, his older brothers and an uncle who never really cared much for him or gave him any sort of emotional support. He decided to leave the farm so he could find the perfect material to produce his latest invention, The Thneed.

His journey ended when he found a valley filled with a particularly special sort of tree (that are softer than silk, smell butterfly milk and are very durable), the Truffula trees. He chopped down one of the trees, invoking the presence of a creature named The Lorax, the guardian of the forest who speaks for the trees. They didn’t get along at first and the Lorax nearly killed him by accident when he tried to force the Once-ler to leave the Valley, but they became friends eventually.

The Once-ler kept his promise to the Lorax and didn’t cut any more trees even when his Thneed business started to be successful, instead he just started harvesting the tufts at the top of the Truffula tree. He then decided to call his family both for help and to show them what he managed to accomplish and everything went downhill from there. His mother insisted that cutting off the tree will be faster than harvesting the tree and the Once-ler agreed to please her. He started making a lot of money really fast and ignored the advice of the Lorax about what his growing company was doing to the animals and the environment. The once-ler became a greedy, money-maker business man and didn’t care about anything or anybody else.

When the last Truffula tree was cut, his company was condemned and his family left. The Once-ler finally realized how wrong he was and how he destroyed all he had with his greediness. He became a bitter old man who regret his past decisions and locked himself in his house away from the world. It wasn’t until a young kid named Ted came to ask him about the trees that the Once-ler was able to share his story and made him understand the importance of what they lost. He gave Ted the last Truffula seed and told him that unless someone really cares about what’s happening nothing will change. Later on while the Once-ler is taking care of the growing new trees, the Lorax comes back to the valley and they finally make amends.

Personality:

Once-ler he starts off as someone who just wants some recognition for his hard work, especially from his family, but losses his path as the plot progresses. The lack of support from his family, their constants jabs at his inventions, the years of emotional abuse, and general absence of affection towards him turned the Once-ler into a nervous individual eager to change the world and be a successful business man. He grew up believing himself a failure and carried that stigma for most of his life. All of his conversations with his mother were hurtful, humiliating, or insincere. Despite all of his mother's actions towards him, he still tried to gain her appreciation and recognition.

Even if his family had no faith in him, he managed to stay positive and wanted to show the world his revolutionary invention: the Thneed. He had always been a creative and inventive individual that believes his creations could change the world. He's an optimistic guy with big dreams and a bit of a child at times. He does things that might seem careless but his heart is always in everything he does.

He does have morals and at first listened to Lorax when he told him cutting the trees was bad. His morals waver later on, however. At the very beginning his interests were purely more about recognition and appreciation rather than making money. He was young and naïve, rather clueless and uncaring, like most of the young people who try to be successful in business. His worse traits were that he was rather selfish and careless, probably due to his family behavior, and his tendency to be a deadpan snarker that increased as he got older.

The Once-ler character is really expressive when it comes to his body language and the way he carries himself. He gesticulates a lot when he talks, fidgets, especially when he's agitated. His voice gets high pitched when he’s excited and deeper and raspier when he’s becoming greedier. He also has a short temper on occasion. His negative personality traits come out more with his company's growth. As his fortune increased he become extremely greedy, uncaring and selfish. He went mad with power and slightly lost his grip on reality. He tries to rationalize his bad choices and pushed away those who really cared about him to the point that all of them left him.

The "How Bad Can I Be?" song sequence shows a change in perspective on the trees, during which the Once-ler still insists he isn't the bad guy of the story. He has all what he ever wanted, to be successful to be recognized. However, the other songs included in the Original Soundtrack that were cut from the final movie express his change of behavior better. The song ‘Biggering’ is about how he no longer is satisfied with less and shows that his actions are not about pleasing his family anymore but are for selfish satisfaction and pride.

Prior to switching to pure self-satisfaction and greed, he never stopped needing approval from others or needing to be in his mother's favor. His entire moral decay started because he took her advice about cutting the trees. It’s remarkable that all of Once-ler friends are actually animals (and The Lorax, whatever that is), and he doesn’t seem to have much of a relationship with any human being that is not part of his family.

It's not until the last tree is cut, his only real friends he ever had leave him, and his family rejects him (not like she ever really cared about him in the first place) that he realized how far the madness had gone. He locked himself in his home for decades, thinking about his mistakes and seeking redemption.

Other:
He plays guitar, enjoys knitting, drawing, inventing strange things, and loves marshmallows.

[Video post]

[A tall boy is in the middle of living room, smiling at the camera (let’s say camera), a guitar on his hands. Around his neck there’s a fluffy pink thing, similar to a scarf but too weird looking to be one.]

Good day, Ducklings. You call yourselves that, right? Ducklings? I don’t quite understand why. I’ve been observing this place for a bit since it appeared in my sketchbook. I don’t know how to make you disappear. Weird things, they keep happening lately…. But that’s okay. Everything is an opportunity! Can you really hear me? I’m doing this right? [He taps the screen with his right index finger.]

I’m going to show you my invention. [He gestures to the thing around his neck, practically beaming with joy.] The Thneed!

[His hands moves to the guitar again and he starts to play and sing.] Everybody needs a thneed! A fine thing that all people nee…

[A loud, crashing sound can be heard and the boy stops, his face blank of expression for a moment, his fingers freeze over the guitar’s strings. He gives the camera another smile, a seriously unconvincing one as he tries to carry on with the song. He opens his mouth to keep signing and…another loud crash in the background. ]

Just a second, if you please. [He smiles at the camera, a bit more desperate now, and raises a finger to indicate that he will be back in a moment. A second later his cheerful expression falls before he sighs and moves away from the camera, his shoulder hunched. His voice can still be heard and he's more irritated now.]

I let you inside again because you said you were going to be the backup for the song, not trash my house all over, this is impor…ah? No, I don't know where’s the Lorax, maybe trying to drown someone else in the river. [That last comment carries some bitter in its tone.] I’m a bit busy now I can’t help you look for hi…ey wait, come back..you said you would help! ..Ah, nevermind then.

[The camera jolts suddenly as the boy takes it on his hands. From that new angle you can see that he was talking to the Barbaloots, a group of creatures that look like some sort of bear that are now walking out the door, and…..yes, that is a fish leaving the house as well. The boy watches them go with a little frown and then looks back at the screen, a shy apologetic look on his face.]

That didn’t exactly go as planned. So much for a great presentation. Hi, I’m Once-ler. The local animals in this Valley are a bit odd, but one gets used to them quickly. They are cute too. Don't mind them!

As I was saying before I got interrupted, now it's your opportunity to buy a very exclusive Thneed. [Once-ler takes the pink thing around his neck and shows it to the camera. It has a weird shape and it’s not very clear what exactly it is.]

The Thneed can fulfill all your possible needs at a very affordable price. The Thneed is a bag, it’s a scarf, could be a hat! [He starts to sing the song again, and the feed suddenly cut off.]

Third Person:

Not long time ago, the Once-ler merely wanted recognition, a gentle word from his mother, praise for the first time in his life. Now he had it. He looked at his huge table, at the tall chair, across the big room and the imposing windows. He stared at the giant Thneed factory outside. Still growing, still progressing.

Biggering.

The boy in the green pin-stripe suit smiled. It was amazing how much he did in so few time, how quickly his business had reached the top. Who cared about the trees anymore? They didn’t have dreams like he did. They sure never had to deal with an unpleasant family or had their hopes crushed. Now they were the ones crushed, but that was beside the point.

And yet nothing seemed big enough, impressive enough. He had even bigger dreams than just this. He needed more. Always more time, more money, more power. And he was going to be successful. He failed way too many times in the past to mess this up, he won’t allow himself to ruin it, no matter what the Lorax said. Some sacrifices needed to be done, it was all for the greater good. 'Survival of the fittest' they say that this is exactly how it worked. If only his old friend could see it like he did, if only he could understand, all would be easier.

Sometimes Onceler wondered where the animals, the wondrous colorful creatures, where. They didn’t visit him anymore unless it was to complain about the trees. He didn’t miss the chaos the animals usually caused, but the roaming of the fabric and his family demanding words were often more annoying than the Barbaloots, the Swomme-swans and the guardian of the trees altogether.

He looked outside again, pass the fabric and across the valley, staring at the now much smaller forest. A gray, bleached world saluted him and the look in his eyes hardened. Some sacrifices needed to be done.

Current Characters: Cpt.Jack Sparrow, Steve Rogers, Haruhi Suzumiya, Light Yagami, TinkerBell, Jane Foster, Aang

Character: Babydoll
Fandom: Sucker Punch
Character Notes:
History: The movie is kind of a mindfuck so for this history I'm going to state it as the movie presents it/Baby imagines it.
0 = Reality.
1 = Illusion aka The Brothel
2 = Dream Sequences: Samurais/Nazi Zombies/Terminators on a Train.

0. Babydoll's mother passes away-- presumably from some illness. The abusive stepfather sneaks The Will open, finds out everything got left to the two daughters, and gets drunk in a fit. He goes after Babydoll first but thinks to go after her little sister instead, locking Baby in her room. The sister runs and locks herself in a closet. Baby climbs out the damn window in the rain, gets a gun out of the stepfather's desk, and aims it at the stepfather. He doesn't think she'll fire, so she does past his head. The shot accidentally bounces off a pipe and hits her sister, killing her. Stepfather calls the cops while Baby flees to her mother's grave. They sedate her, following the Stepfather's story that she's totally unstable and killed her sister. He takes her to The Lennox House, an all girls asylum.

0. Stepfather signs the paperwork all halfassed. He's paying off Blue, an orderly who I thought was head of security the way everyone fucking listens to him, to get her in there and give her a lobotomy so the police's investigation can't ask her the truth later and he gets away with everything. Blue's going to forge, Dr.Gorski's signature to get the lobotomy done. She has 5 days till she gets lobotomized.

0. Day One: She observes everything and is put on mostly cleaning duty. During therapy, she breaks down and---

1. Everything is now viewed as a brothel. Kinda like a Moulin Rouge-y place where they dance and then you buy to spend time with them. Babydoll, given her name now because of how tiny and fragile she looks, is brought in by The Priest (0: Stepfather) from the orphanage. Blue is in charge of the brothel and is going to save Babydoll for the High-Roller (The Doctor doing the lobotomy.) Sweet Pea, the star of the show, wants nothing to do with showing her around so it goes to Rocket, Sweet Pea's little sis. She shows her around and explains what a whore house does.

1. She gets introduced to the other girls -- Amber and Blondie, who is not blonde.

1. That night, she waits until everyone is asleep to cry by herself alone in the bathroom. Rocket hears her and comes to comfort her. NEXT DAY: Cleaning duty in the hall. Rocket is in the kitchen on ...potato...duty? Anyway, Rocket tries to steal some chocolate and the cook catchers her. He goes to rape her as punishment?? Um. Baby hears it, comes in there, grabs a knife, and puts it to the cook's throat to save her. The cook backs the fuck off and Rocket and her get out of there.

1. Dance lessons! Baby is called over by Gorski and told to dance. She's nervous/shy/doesn't want to. Gorski tells her not to be afraid and gives her a pretty motivating speech to get her to dance. She starts dancing and--

2. She's in the mountains in Ancient Japan at a temple in the mountains or something? This is like a dream sequence where a Wise Man tells her the items she needs to escape okay. He gives her a handgun and a katana. To get out, he tells her, she needs 5 items: Map, fire, knife, key, ....and some mystery thing she can only figure out later that's a deep-sacrifice.

2. She fights THREE GIANT STONE SAMURAIS.

1. Her dance was effin' amazing apparently. That night-- Baby tells the girls she's going to escape. Sweet Pea isn't so cool with the idea but Rocket is all over that and so is Blondie and Amber. But Sweet Pea tells her to STFU till the next day-- where Rocket tells her how Baby totally saved her from a rapist cook. WELP.

1. Baby shares her plan to get the map, fire, knife, and key. The map is in Blue's office, the security whatever dude has a lighter, the cook has the knife, and Blue has a master key around his neck. INITIATE PLAN! Sweet Pea goes to get the map from Blue's office (by photocopying it) while Baby distracts him and everyone else with her friggin' sweet dancing skills. Dancing dancing-

2. It's WWII! Only against Zombie Steampunk Nazi's. The girls are a special team or whatever. The Wise Man/Captain briefs them on the plan to get the map from Zombie Steampunk Nazi Field Commander's tent. SO THEY GET THIS USING TEAMWORK. Oh and Amber has a Mecha with a bunny on it. It looks like this.

1. Success! Blue thinks her dance was so pimp he wants her to dance for the Mayor (0: That old guy with the lighter). The girls go and tape the map under a drawer to hide it.

1. The Mayor is Amber's client. INITIATE PLAN! While Baby does the distraction dance, Amber's sitting on his lap and sneaks the lighter out of his breast pocket by pulling a kiss-the-neck-rub-the-cheek-trick.

2. MEDIEVAL FIGHT! They're storming a castle! The Wise Man tells them the plan. They jump out of the plan Amber's flying, steal magic fire stones out of the baby dragon's neck, and have to not wake the mother. Only they totally wake the mother and Baby stabs that ugly mother dragon in the head.

1. Success! Amber got the lighter and they tape it under the drawer with the map. They start to celebrate after but Blue interrupts and lets them know he's on to them. He also lets Baby know he'd totally have his way with her if he wasn't about to make a ton of money off her. YIKES.

1. Sweet Pea wants to cancel escape plans for everyone's safety but everyone else is going to do it still. ANYWAY Part Three of the Plan! The plan is that they lock themselves in the kitchen with the cook, Baby does her distraction dance, Rocket sits on his lap for double distraction, and Sweet Pea sneaks the knife off his belt. ...Blondie never shows up with Baby's music though so they have to use a radio with a strip in the cord. They knock a pot of water and potatoes on the floor -- and the water slowly creeps towards that cord.

2. IT'S THE FUTURE! Or something. Amber is flying a helicopter. The Wise Man briefs them that there's a bomb on a train filled with robots that's going to blow up the city unless they deactivate and steal it in time. They're given jetpacks. Baby, Rocket, and Sweet Pea drop to the drain and fight fight fight. They deactivate the bomb, but one robot was left semi-alive and breaks Rocket's jetpack and reactivates the bomb and---

1. The music got cut off from the water hitting the cord. The cook snaps out of the distraction and notices Sweet Pea stealing the knife off him. The first knife gets smacked away and lands near Amber's feet. The cook pulls out his second knife and goes to stab her. Rocket dives in the way and-- The music picks up again.

2. Rocket cuts Babydoll and the helicopter's attachment to the train off and then makes Sweet Pea's jetpack go off so she's off the train. The train reaches the city and the bomb goes off with Rocket inside.

1. Rocket got stabbed by the cook and dies in Sweet Pea's arms. Blue busts in and is very pissed with these girls and the cook. He sends Sweet Pea to be locked in a closet while having Baby and Amber go off to prepare for the show. Amber took the knife with her and taped it under the drawer.

1. The High Roller has arrived. Blue comes into the dressing room to lecture them about how he's in charge and escaping is stupid and how dare you bitches. It's revealed Blondie told Blue the girl's plan while the rest of the girls were in the kitchen. He shoots Amber in the head. He then shoots Blondie because he hates snitches. He gets everyone else out of the room to perform and keeps Baby behind and tries to have his way with her. She pulls the knife out from under the drawer and stabs him in the neck/shoulder -- it's like right where the neck meets the shoulder. She then kicks him down, steals the key off his neck, grabs the rest of the items, and starts making her escape.

0/1. She gets Sweet Pea out of the closet, lets her know it's just them now. They light the closet on fire then make their escape. The guards/customers are outside. Babydoll realizes they're not both going to make it out so she tells Sweet Pea to go. She distracts the guards/customers by kicking one of them in the nuts and Sweet Pea slips out the gate and escapes to freedom.

0. Babydoll is taken and given a lobotomy. She accepted the fate though and freaked the Doctor out by giving him a look like she wanted it right as he performed it. Dr.Gorski realizes the signature on the forms isn't her own. Blue tries to have his way with Baby again but is turned off by her vegetableness post-lobotomy. Dr.Gorski has him arrested and as the cops drag him off he screams that he'll tell them about The Stepfather's bribe in order to lower his sentence. THE END.

"That Was TL;DR" or "Jackie, I don't get it."
An Evil Stepfather is pissed off his dead wife didn't leave him shit so he goes to take it out on his step-daughters. One retaliates and accidentally kills the other by doing so. The Evil Stepfather sends that daughter to an corrupt asylum to get a lobotomy so she can't tell the cops shit about him being evil or that she was acting in self-defense.
She kind of loses it in there and views everything as a brothel because having sexuality on display scares her because of the Stepfather's abuse. She bases her escape plan on something an old guy told her in a dream she had where she fought giant stone samurais.
She makes some friends and plans to escape with them but one gets stabbed by a cook and the corrupt orderly gets rid of the other two to make examples of them and scare everyone from escaping. Babydoll stabs the corrupt guy in charge, starts a fire, and tries to escape with the only sane friend left but there are guards outside. She distracts them, the friend escapes, and she ends up getting that lobotomy and deciding that can be her escape from reality. A Doctor finds out about the situation and has the corrupt guy arrested, who then rats out the stepfather. Baby gets to live happily inside her own head. THE END.

It's a weird movie.

Personality:
"Everyone has an Angel. A Guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take One day, Old man, Next day, Little girl. But don't let appearances fool you, They can be as fierce as any dragon."
Babydoll is a protector. Don't let her tiny look, blonde pigtails, and sweet name fool you. In the very first scene, the narrator is Sweet Pea and she speaks of guardian angels coming in many forms (on the list: little girls) wither you want them to or not -- And that's her. In this same first scene that we're introduced to her, she's standing up to an abuser to save someone else (that being against her step-father to protect her little sister.) It doesn't end well but she tried anyway. She plans to escape and she lets anyone who wants out to come with her -- and acts as a leader and tries to protect all of them. When the plan looks like it's failing, she tells Rocket that she wouldn't want to do anything that puts them in danger even if not doing it meant she was going to have to accept her fate with the high-roller. At the end, only her and Sweet Pea are left and there's no way out-- so she sacrifices herself for Sweet Pea. She's telling this to girls she has only known for a week, which shows how serious she acts when it comes to protecting others and how willing she is to sacrifice.

"Did you lose your fight,huh?"
"No, I just found it."
As for herself, she does not need to be protected. She's a fighter. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. She's resilient, strong, and she will stab people in the neck and burn the place down if she has to. It's an impossible situation but this girl is determined as all hell once it's pointed out she has everything she needs to fight. She is not letting anyone get her. Anyone. She planned to escape before the other girls even chipped in and she had people to protect. Immediately on the way into the asylum, she's carefully observing everything and making notes of how she could get out. She's clever. Her moves are carefully calculated. Others come first though. To her, she lost everything so she fights for those who have something left.

"Just one week here and she stabbed an orderly, started a fire, and helped another patient to escape."
Moving on, her entire past before the horrible things that happen to her is a mystery. She's kind of an enigma. Perhaps she did happy funtime girly things and skipped through fields sniffing flowers or whatever--- but she doesn't share it. She's a quiet girl. Because as strong as she is and as much as she fights, she's a really shy person. Her eyes are downcast most of the time, she speaks softly and usually only when spoken to first, she gets uncomfortable in her own skin, and she's withdrawn. And for all the trauma she endures, she keeps it to herself. She doesn't want to show anyone how week she is and waits until everyone is asleep to cry alone in the bathroom.

"You have all the weapons you need. Now fight."
Her trauma is very subtle outwardly since she doesn't want to express it to others but boy oh boy is it there. She's in a deep depression. She has piles of guilt she carries for accidentally killing her sister and later for her escape plan getting others killed. She lost everything and is put into a place that's horrible and corrupt and going to lobotomize her all during the course of a week. She breaks down during a therapy session because really how could you not? To cope, she ends up with her own reality. Then she ends up with her own reality WITHIN her own reality because of how messed up the situation is -- but she's determined enough to manage to keep her goals even with how fragile her mind gets.

Other:
+ She gets signed in as "M. Reeas" by her stepdad, which is presumably her real name. Let's see how long in game she can not tell anyone her name so I don't have to figure out what the M stands for.

First Person (entry type): [ voice ]

[ The girl can be heard taking a deep breath before starting. She's carefully choosing her words. ] For everyone that offered an escape.... A worldhop away from here. I really appreciate it. Truely. It's the nicest anyone's ever offered. I'd go with you... [ She trails off a bit. Clearly there's a 'BUT' in there. ]

I have to stay. [ a pause ] For now. I just can't go now. The girls they- I can help get them out. I don't know if you can take people not on here and they can't leave my world altogether. Sweet Pea and Rocket still have family they could go to. So.

We'll keep with the plan. And then after, when I'm free from this place... [ She pauses again, like she's doubting how possible her next words are ] And if there's still an offer to escape...

I wouldn't have anywhere to go from here.

Third Person:
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream...

They had this in the bag. Babydoll watched Rocket and Sweet Pea while waving Amber over with the helicopter to hook it up. They got the entire thing set up. It was deactivated, they were ready to lift it, and there was an enormous relief that after a couple of robots to fight this would be done so easily. Everything exactly as planned. Knife is a check. One step closer to completing the mission.

It is knowing, it is knowing...
But then the bomb didn't budge. Baby's heart stopped for a moment. Rocket forgot to unscrew one bolt. Baby's heart started racing since something was wrong. Just one. This is fine. Now they could get it. A robot wasn't dead, had shoved Rocket aside. Baby quickly shot it in the head but it had already reactivated the bomb and Rocket was sitting there with a broken jetpack. But. They can still work with this. If they could---

It is not dying, it is not dyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-
Nothing.

The music stopped. A horrible panic hit her and she couldn't move. But suddenly everything else did. She was plunged back into reality. Everything whisked away and turned into something she didn't want to see. The cook they were trying to sneak a knife off of had caught them. She doesn't want to be here. He pulled out a knife and was swinging it in Sweet Pea's direction. Things were going really slow the way she saw them and all she could hear was the music track lagging and the radio sparking and she wanted the music to just start back up so this wouldn't happen. Rocket was diving in front of her sister to save her from the knife. It can't be happening if they're not here. The music started up. This isn't the real part. If they're back there Rocket is safe. Baby clenched her eyes shut-

But listen to the color of your dream. It is not living, it is not living.

-and when she opened them she was back on the train. Only she couldn't even save her there. Couldn't escape. And reality hit.

Character: Yuri Lowell
Fandom: Tales of Vesperia
Character Notes:
History: Having lost both of his parents before he could even remember, Yuri Lowell was raised by the people of the Lower Quarter, the poorman's district of the Imperial Capital of Zaphias. He grew up knowing the way of the streets, and seeing the world through a dog eats dog view. He hated the state the Lower Quarter was in, and he and childhood friend Flynn Scifo decided to join the Imperial Knights, in hopes of changing the treatment the people receieved under the Empire's rule, and protecting that which they held dear.

He was 19 was he was first instated as a knight, joining a brigade under the command of Nylen Fedrock, whom with he had begun to look up to, almost sharing a father-son connection with, . They were assigned with the task of investigating a recent surge of monster attacks in the Imperial city of Shizontania. During his time in the brigade, he learned of how little the knights could do about the corruption among the higher powers, and after an incident that could have been avoided if the Commandant of the Imperial Knights had actually taken it seriously, that left his Captain Nylen dead, Yuri left the knights, disgusted by the power structure of the empire. He went back to live in the lower quarter, where he spent the next two years in a lazy slump, no longer knowing what to do with himself.

Personality: Many would describe Yuri as unsocial and generally rude. For the most part, he's exactly that. He doesn't like to filter his words to others, often times coming off as mean when he's just speaking his mind. Some may find this honesty nice, while others will find it slightly enraging. Despite all this "brutal" honesty, he actually has a hard time expressing is true feelings, and will rarely admit when he's actually sad or worried, or even grateful at times. He has no qualms letting his anger or sarcasm show, however, and that's partially why so many would quickly label him as a bit of a jerk. He also may come off as anti-social, again, due to his upbringing, he isn't the best around other people. He likes to make believe that he's just fine on his own. But past all his harsh words and facades, he really means well, and wouldn't honestly hurt someone if they hadn't done something to deserve it.

Having grown up as part of the lower class, he also has little regard for social heirarchy, and will speak to a king just as he would speak to a passerby on the street just as he would to higher, powerful force of nature. He doesn't care what or who you are, if he doesn't like you, he's going to show it. Likewise, if you're one of his friends, he'll go out of his way to protect you, even if he wouldn't like to admit it. He's more mature than most young men his age, due to the kind of harsh life he's lived, orphaned at a young age and raised in the lower, poorer parts of town, often opressed by the nobility and knights. He has a strong sense of justice, and believes the wrong should always be punished, and that weak should be protected. He absolutely hates the unfair treatment the empire gives to the average person, and goes so far as to even fight the knights and local law enforcement over such things as taxes (Yuri has also been thrown into jail so often that he treats it like a joke).

He does have an immature side to him though. He gets along great with children, and shows a lot of love for them. He also isn't above making jokes out of situations and pulling pranks. When he's confident that he can get out of a situation (which he almost always is), he'll easily treat it like a game.

First Person (Text; Hand written):

I'm no good at these journal sort of things, so you'll all just have to bear with me on this. I'm only writing in this because there's nothing else to do in here. All walls, metal bars, and bad food.

Seemed like the knights were intent on stealing money from Hanks today. That guy barely makes enough to support himself, and they insist on taking shit from him anyway. Of course I wasn't going to just stand there and watch that.

So I beat them up and ended up getting thrown in here after they had to call a bunch of superior officiers for back-up.

Man, feels like this happens every week now.

Well, that's all you're getting out of me today.

Third Person: His eyes scanned the streets below his second story window, straying with every passerby that passed. Some would wave and greet him, others would barely notice him. He held his hand out, a faint smile on his face, to those that knew him. Seemed like today was going to be nothing out of the ordinary, again. It wasn't like he could complain, though. Quiet days meant less trouble for the people of the lower quarter. The peace suit it's inhabitants well, at least much more than it had in past years.

But damn, he was so bored.

He was used to action. He got into a lot of fights with the knights on a regular basis, and back when he was a part of them, traveling outside of the city's barrier was often a part of his missions. He felt..stuck, being here now. It bothered him.

A small figure cause his attention out of the corner of his eyes. A small boy stopped underneath his window, calling up to him.

"Hey, Yuri!" Yuri just smiled, responding to him.

"What's up, Ted?"

"Mom said she needs your help with carrying some stuff! It's too big for me!" A small chuckle left Yuri. Maybe he didn't mind an ordinary day either. He swung his legs over the side of his window, dropping down in front of the boy on the street below, bring a smile to his face, this feat obviously impressing him, no matter how many times he had seen it before. Yuri could feel his smile growing a little more.

"Lead the way then, Ted."

Character: Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Fandom: Assassin's Creed
Character Notes:
History:

PRE-CANON:

❧ Born into a noble family in Florence in 1459 AD
❧ Second oldest of four children, and also the most mischievous
❧ Brothers were Federico and Petruccio, sister was Claudia
❧ Educated to read and write, and know his history, though he was more the type to play hooky out on the rooftops above
❧ Learned parkour from a very young age
❧ Capable of holding his own in a fist-fight. His father was probably responsible for teaching him how to defend himself from a young age
❧ Oftentimes was a delivery boy for his father's work
❧ Lived a normal life
~~❧ Had an outlet that consisted an interest in vaginas~~
❧ Caretaker of his famiglia and their pride when it came to serious business

START OF ASSASSIN'S CREED II:

❧ Ezio has a longtime opposition against another noble in Florence, Vieri di Pazzi, and he has challenged him more than once to stand and fight for what he thinks is right, and Ezio knows to be wrong
❧ Had noticed his father was definitely in the middle of something, and meant to tell him about it, but never bothered to confront him about it
❧ Has a girlfriend named Cristina Vespucci, whom he visits regularly through windows and often woos right into bed with him
❧ Currently he is coming up with a plan on confronting Vieri, and making him face Ezio and see the error of his ways

Personality: On first appearance, and for a lack of better words, Ezio Auditore is a complete jerk. And an asshole. At the bright and young age of seventeen, he is the epitome of immaturity when it comes to a young man. Sleeping with women (when he already has a girlfriend), running from trouble and causing his family to get gray hairs, standoffish and very confrontational to those he opposes- these are all things he does and he keeps doing, because despite being a noble, Ezio has his own method of doing things. And most of the time, they tend to get him into trouble. He doesn't seem to care what the repercussions are, or how it soils the name of the Auditore, but as long as it works for him, then it's good. That's not to say he purposely makes trouble, it just tends to find him because of his mouth and his rambunctious ways.

Along with the habit of being a troublemaker, he is a ladies man, and will flirt with just about any pretty girl he sees, sometimes even going to bed with them, despite being tied to Cristina. To him, love is all about sex, it isn't about commitment, and therefore it doesn't bother him if he sleeps around, as long as she doesn't know. Therefore if asked, he'll find excuses and other walkarounds to avoid answering the tough questions, as he really doesn't want to answer them or be put in a difficult spot. Avoidance and ignorance are something he plays on, acting like the dumb boyfriend if he screws up or does something wrong, and gets caught for it. Giving someone puppy eyes to make it up to them is one of his many ruses.

He is arrogant and highly opinionated, and very vocal in his words. If he wants you to know something, he'll literally stand in your way until you get it. If others don't want to listen, he'll find ways to make them listen, because he is Ezio Auditore, and HDU not listen to him. He's more than capable of being a leader, and his words always tend to stir people into action, regardless of whether or not they are on a side, or the sidelines. While he may not always say the smartest things, or the most... well, let's just call it "formal" for his time, he has the right idea.

Yet for all his arrogance and dumb teenage ways, Ezio has a bold yet gentle heart. He openly shows his emotions and how much he cares for others, oftentimes going out of his own way to make sure things are made better, usually casting aside his wants in the matter. Though still influenced by his young years, he is mostly selfless, taking on the burdens of friends and family to make sure they are fine. To put it simply, if you get on his good side, he is that derpy teenage brother who will fight for you no matter the cost. He is loyal to the point of where it hurts, and if you choose to double-cross him--

Well, let's just say it doesn't end pretty. Ever.

Other: He'll be coming in via very early ACII canon. Over time I'm planning to use different journals for each era he's in, so I'll be updating the taken list and the OOC comm when that happens.
Additional Links: Ezio's wiki link!

First Person (entry type): [Well, someone sounds a little amused.]

Una domanda, comunità. What exactly would you define as an "acceptable outlet?" My mother is half convinced that I do not do anything except my father's tasks, and that I need to start taking interest in some. I have already told her that I have plenty, but for some reason, the ones I have she doesn't seem too open to accepting.

[Ezio, vaginas really aren't what people would call "acceptable" in any era.]

So tell me, as a noble, what do you think would fit the description? I have no interest in books, and unless I need to send something to someone, writing is not an interest either. That leaves me with few options, I think. Forse.

[He pauses, thinking, and running over ideas.]

Perhaps father would know. Or, at least, give me ideas. Mother is only going to suggest more studying, and Claudia is only going to echo her decisions. I doubt Federico or Petruccio would give much assistance either- at least the kind my mother is looking for.

[And whoop, there he goes, muttering in Italian about how can women not be considered "outlets," they are a perfectly good example of one, etc etc]

Third Person:

The streets of Firenze were busy today. Well, they were always busy nowadays, ever since there had been a revival of art and culture. Whether it was something new to see, something different to study, or even an ideal being brought to light, these days everything was changing. Not that he minded, of course. Ezio enjoyed having adventure in his life, after all. What good was it to settle down so early when he had so much life and living ahead of him to take? Places to go, people to see, women to love... it was all the same, yet in so many different colors and avenues he was sure it would keep him occupied for a long while.

Though things were busy, it often meant the vie were crowded. Which is why he chose to stay to the rooftops more than ever. It was a talent his father had taught him when he was young, and something both he and Federico enjoyed taking after, even if he had told them otherwise. There was something about the open sky, the way the tiles slid against his feet, how his heart pounded with each and every leap made and tumble ventured, that he could never replace by walking the cobblestone below.

Things were different, Ezio thought. Either by his mother choosing new paintings to display at home, or hiring a new artist to possibly do a new portrait of the famiglia, to his father meeting with a new man, someone called Uberti, to Petruccio asking for feathers. Claudia had a cheating boyfriend, Federico had challenged him to climb the cathedral as fast as possible, and Cristina still wanted to see him when the day was done. Yes, it was different, but not unwelcome. And for once, he wouldn't complain.

This was the life for him, the life of simplicity in being nobility, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

Character: Akira Inugami
Fandom: Wolf Guy (Manga)

Character Notes:
History:
Akira Inugami was born to a pure-blood werewolf mother, and a human father. In his youth, his father hid Akira and his mother away from the world at large, using his family's wealth and influence to provide for them and keep them safe. They moved around many times, always to more and more remote locales, the last of which was in the wilds of Alaska, when Akira was around six or seven years old. It was a well-isolated area, right next to a Timber Wolf sanctuary. Akira's mother was his entire world, and he left her side very rarely. The only friends he had were the wolves that roamed around their cabin. For a time, they were very happy.

One day, while Akira was out, humans he didn't recognize came. Humans in unmarked suits and attack vehicles, with a great cache of high-powered weapons. They destroyed Akira's home, setting it ablaze, then murdered his father and took his mother away. Akira never knew why. The men told him nothing but that he was a "useless half-breed" and filled him with bullet holes, leaving him for dead in the snowy tundra. He woke up just after they left, his regeneration kicking in for the first time and saving his life, much to his own surprise.

After being stranded in the Alaskan wilds for several months and living with the wolves, his extended family finally found him. They took him back to Japan, where his Aunt took responsibility for him. She was shocked several years later, when he changed right in front of her, transforming in front of the full moon. Still, he was family, so she kept his secret. He bounced around from school to school for the next few years, never finding his place in any town he went to. His travels were extensive, but no place offered peace.

At around age 15, Akira arrived at a brand new school. Hakutoku Academy. One of those troubled schools, that tries to pretend like everything is perfectly fine on the inside. The kind of place that just sweeps problems away, rather than deal with them head-on. Where the good kids desperately hope the bad ones don't notice them, as they just try to make it through the year. In other words, one of the many examples of poor school leadership that currently plague Japan. Full of adults who don't want to accept responsibility for anything. When Akira arrived, he immediately asserted himself, making fools of the local thugs, and an enemy of their leader, Dou Haguro. He also met Akiko Aoshika, his teacher, who turned out to be a woman he'd accidentally saved on the previous night. Several other people also entered his life. Kimura, the class president and honor student. Ryuuko, Haguro's crazed, violent girlfriend. Chiba, Haguro's second-in-command, and the only one amongst his ilk with a sense of honor.

The two had an immediate, unspoken connection, though Akira tried to deny it and play things off. He even went as far as to deny ever seeing her before. Later, she surprise-visited Akira, right on the night of the full moon. Caught in a moment of emotional instability, Akira lost control of his ability, exposing her to his transformed state. He barely managed to convince her it was a special mask he was wearing, and changed the subject by bringing up her invasion of his privacy. It was enough of a tirade to chase her away. Unfortunately, she was chased right into the path of a rapist. Oddly enough, he was stopped in the act by a runaway lion, who had escaped the nearby zoo. Half-mad and enraged, it butchered the man, and Akira arrived in time to stop it from doing the same to Aoshika. In a one-sided battle, Akira was finally forced to kill the beast by quickly snapping its neck.

Meanwhile, the escalation between Akira and Haguro's gang continued. The first major crux of it came when Haguro assigned one of his men to break up a school assembly. With WEAPONS. Already enraged over Akira crippling his brother, the lackey was all too happy to do so. The resulting frakas killed 82 people and destroyed the school gymnasium. The only reason it wasn't worse was due to Akira's intervention and subsequent killing of the perpetrator. Akira blamed himself for the incident, realizing that his own flippant behavior toward Haguro's crew exacerbated their already violent natures.

After the afore-mentioned school shooting, Akira had really had enough of Haguro. Conflicted and angry, he confronted him, only to be cut short by assassins after Haguro's life. He stayed out of sight, watching the battle from above, only stepping in when he lost patience. Akira transformed, taking out the last assassins and then turning his sights on Haguro. He showed Dou what he really was, transforming in front of him and terrorizing him to the point of insanity. Humiliating him into know just how weak he was, compared to Akira. Then, with a final taunt, he left Haguro and the entire town, choosing to settle elsewhere.

While walking around his new home range, he met Chiba by chance. He had left Haguro and school, choosing to live a different life than one in Haguro's service. For former enemies, the two had more in common than Akira had thought. They talked over lunch, with Chiba telling him of the changes that had occurred since he left school. Of course, Haguro didn't like this one bit, seeing as Chiba was a former su. He captured and tortured Chiba near to death out of sheer anger and jealousy. He left Chiba in front of the hospital Akira was at, beaten, raped, and missing his tongue. Frustrated by further guilt, Akira gave Chiba his blood to help him survive. Little did he know that it did save his life, but it also turned Chiba into a revenge-fueled monster. A human with super-human ability and a raging bloodlust. A monster thirsting for revenge on the one who brutalized him. After a confrontation that left a trail of collateral damage, Haguro barely managed to kill the transformed, monstrous Chiba. This only solidified his focus on destroying Akira, now convinced that it was his destiny to kill monsters, and that Akira was a threat to the superiority of mankind. To draw him back and into a final showdown, he kidnapped Aoshika, who had just realized her feelings for Akira, and had her raped on camera. He used the video to force Akira to come after him, putting him through a horrible gauntlet, and using Akira's weakness on the New Moon to his advantage.

Powerless, yet determined, Akira fought his way through dogs, traps, explosives, and crazed gunmen at Haguro's compound. He freed Aoshika, and the two of them made their way out, only for Haguro to confront them. Thus began the final duel of the two. After a series of trading strikes, Haguro had gained the upper hand. The combination of the New Moon, Akira's heavy blood-loss, and the fatigue of his muscles was too great a disadvantage. Haguro began to take his time, slicing off bits of Akira with his sword, deciding to kill him by inches. He cut off his left arm, and the fingers on his remaining hand, crippled his leg, and drove his sword through Akira's chest.

Just when all seemed lost, Akiko's desperation triggered something inside of Akira, forcing a transformation. He rose, driving Haguro into a fit of fear at seeing the boy he thought dead rise yet again, and in his monstrous state. Akira merely marched forward as Haguro came to him, embracing him and allowing the sword to pierce his own chest. Thus Haguro fell, having finally come to terms with his own fear and jealousy of Akira, his soul metaphorically dragged to Hell by all the lives he had destroyed.

Akira's power finally fizzled as he fell into Akiko's arms, with the cops and medics arriving just in time. They took the two away to separate hospital areas. Akiko, aching to see Akira again, begged his Aunt to be allowed to visit. She ended up flying her all the way to Alaska, to wait in the place Akira's memories were strongest. The wolf sanctuary. Akira, on the other hand, woke up in a completely alien facility. No mere hospital, but a high security research facility. His struggle was only just beginning.

Personality:
For most of the manga, Akira was a rather contradictory boy, forced between the self he wanted the world to see, and the self that really reflected who he was. Not even Akira seemed to fully know which is which, at times. How often can one put on a front, before that front starts to affect who they really are?

For one thing, Akira was a master of self-denial. He constantly talked about how he didn't want or need other people, yet always found himself drawn to them. He's the offspring of two very social species, humans and werewolves, and it's in his blood to seek out others, no matter how much he told himself otherwise. He told himself that Aoshika didn't mean anything to him, yet he was always looking out for her. This was easy to see, due to the many instances where he saved or checked up on her. When she fell on him by accident in his apartment, he told himself that he was above base desires, but couldn't deny the way his body reacted to hers. Arousal and shame. He said human lives didn't mean much in the big scheme of things, yet always intervened when lives were put in danger around him. This veneer started to crumble as he grew closer to Aoshika, and finally shattered when he saw the video of Aoshika's torment at Haguro's hands. His own inner self forced him to confront his hypocrisy, spurring him to action. It gave him no choice but to accept his own feelings and charge forward to protect what he loved.

Being a wolf, Akira is also not without his more vicious instincts. Though he was often loathe to attack or even defend himself against human attacks, his patience was never infinite. This can easily be seen when he savages the large army of thugs that attacks him in the beginning, endangering Aoshika, killing several of them. Or when he mercy kills the lion in the park, in order to spare it the slow, painful option of being shot to death by police. Or when he loses control and murders several of the assassins sent after Haguro, merely due to them reminding him of his past trauma. His spite is especially evident when taking on the thugs responsible for Aoshika's rape. He methodically takes them down with brutal efficiency, even going so far as the torture one of them for information. There's no question that when his wrath finally kindles, there's little he won't do.

Akira has always felt an immense amount of persecution from the world. Inferiority complex at its finest. His egotism and arrogance would put people off naturally, a product of his super-human status. He was stronger than anyone around him and he knew it. Judging from his grades, he was smarter, too. This caused a large amount of malice to be directed at him, especially by other males. Their jealousy gradually turned to discontent, then rage. This escalation had always ended the same way through Akira's life. Violence. Then, when they saw that their attacks did no good, it only made them even MORE vengeful. Eventually it would get to the point where he'd have to leave. This cycle repeated in every place Akira moved to, every school he'd ever tried to learn in. Due to this, he considered humans to be brash, vicious, and haughty, yet failed to understand that he shared some of those exact traits. It was only in his darker, introspective moments that he realized he hated seeing his own behavior in others. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy. He didn't expect humans to respect him, so he showed no respect to them. While people did feel unjustified anger toward him, he didn't help the situation by constantly antagonizing them. It was only after the school shooting that Akira was humbled. He learned from the experience, changing his attitude toward those he disliked.

Loneliness had always been a large part of Akira's mental landscape. He'd always lived alone, away from his extended family, using their resources to get what he needed. Their wealth allowed him to live comfortably, away from other people and isolated in his apartment. The whole place barely looked lived in, like he got too lazy to even attempt making it like a home. His walls were bare, his living room sparse except for books, his computer, and something to sit on. It reflected the solitude he constantly lived with. Akira, as far as he was concerned, was the last of his kind. In a world of six billion humans, he was completely alone. The last embers of a species that's about to die out completely. Add into this the fact that anyone who got too close to him tended to suffer for it. Pushing people away protected both them, and himself, or so he thought. Eventually, Akira realized that trouble would happen REGARDLESS of his presence, and if something bad went down, it was better for him to be close by instead of running away from his problems.

Akira's relation to Akiko Aoshika had several layers to it. On the one hand is her matronly, motherly appeal. She brought Akira's deep-seated mother-loss issues to the forefront, due to her always looking after him, and the way she seemed to see right through his act. She cared about him. On the other hand was her very attractive physical appearance. Akiko was a beautiful woman, and it had often brought her attention from the wrong kinds of people. He was aroused by her, but at the same time devoted to her well-being. The deepening of this relationship was a focal point of the series, as was the constant shifting it did. From teacher and student, to caretaker and charge, to lovers. Akiko represented all the better aspects of humans, in Akira's eyes.

Haguro was the opposite end of the spectrum, perfectly personifying everything in humanity Akira hated. Haguro wass brash, sadistic, spiteful, and utterly obsessed with his own power, and crushing anything that threatened it. To Haguro, Akira was many things. Hated enemy, rival, and object of adoration. Ever since encountering Akira, Haguro was introduced to emotions that he never before emerged inside of him. He was largely dead inside. Seeing a true werewolf unlocked his fears and passions, causing him to obsess over Akira both as a rival and an equal. Something he couldn't accept. His psyche was torn between wanting to destroy Akira, wanting to own Akira, and wanting Akira to accept him. This was one-sided, as Akira largely thought of Haguro as an evil he'd rather not deal with. This attitude proved to be Akira's undoing, as Haguro's knowledge of this only made him escalate their rivalry into harming the people around Akira, in order to goad him into battle. In his death, Haguro was once again made to feel small and weak, his bravado shattered by Akira's true, monstrous power.

By the end of the manga, Akira's personality has transformed for the better, despite all of the trauma he and others suffered. He's no longer outright spiteful of humans, realizing that some of them are truly worth knowing and protecting. That being said, he also hasn't lost his edge. His snark still comes out in force at times, even if it's usually reserved for people who deserve it.

Other: Akira is starting from scratch, not a continuation of his time in DDD before.

First Person:
[The screen is dark at first. Then a large, golden eye shows up on the video feed, in an extreme close-up. Definitely not a human eye, either.]

Okay...Look, nobody freak out, alright? There's been a little mishap and I kinda' let my emotions spike. I ended up changin' form. Now I can't change back. I'm pretty sure it'll pass, but I don't want anyone to think I got eaten by something, or wonder why there's a giant beast usin' my computer. Everything's fine, everything's cool. It's just me, in another body.

[With that, he slowly backs up, letting the camera gradually take in his full, beastly form. An eight-foot tall, bi-pedal, wolfen monster.]

This is kinda' embarassin', but I did contact the system for another reason. I was just wondering if maybe...someone could send me some extra pants? I tore up the bottoms of these when I changed, and I don't know when I can change back. I'm sure as hell not walkin' down to the store like this, just for new pants. I'll come back with the cops on my tail! Not in the mood to get shot full of holes, tonight.

Third Person:

He wondered how he had gotten used to this level of comfort with total strangers. It could have been any combination of things, really. Could have been the fact that he was desperate for any sort of relationship to cling to. Could have been seeing other sentient non-humans for the first time since he was a child. Could have been because he was offered shelter at a time when he needed it most. Whatever the root reason for it, he was...glad. For the first time in his life, he was glad about his circumstances.

"Guess I'd better see what they're up to," he said, yawning as he got up, then opening his laptop. He was still a little groggy from waking up, but he nonetheless always had to check the network. It was still hard to really wrap his head around. An online area that serves as a waypoint for inter-dimensional communication. Like something out of a bad science fiction movie, really. Amazingly, but unbelievable. Still, he'd seen the proof himself, when one of his online guests teleported into his room.

"Actually, I don't have much room to talk," he murmured to himself, brushing his hair and teeth, "Here I am, a fuckin' werewolf, questioning bizarre shit happening around me. I should really be used to just about anything, by now. Gotta' stop wondering why and just go with it. "Guess it's nice to be able to actually talk to people, without worryin' about consequences. Finally, a place where I can find people with even more bizarre lives than mine."

When he was done, he slid on fresh clothes and sat down, chatting with a few of his new acquaintances. It was so interesting, hearing all of these stories, the tales of so many different kinds of worlds. He wanted to just ESCAPE. To leave his Japan and not come back, just spend his time venturing from world to world. Hell, if he was lucky, he could even find a few werewolves somewhere out there. It didn't matter if they weren't exactly his type. Then there was the matter of Aoshika...No. She was better off without him. As long as he was around her, she'd always get caught up in his troubles. She deserved a happier life. A life WITHOUT him. They'd made their peace with each other, they'd parted in tears, but it was all necessary. He had to cut the final link.

"Well, nothing's gonna' get done if I sit on my ass, wondering if someone is gonna' help me out with this. I've just gotta' summon up the stones to ask for it. I need to get the hell off this world."
