After defeating the Mad Treant in the forest, Ventus had lain down in the flower glade to relax and enjoy this new freedom. As much as he wanted to find his friend, this was the first world he'd ever seen that wasn't his home so he had decided to take a moment to simply enjoy that fact. It was strange to think there was no one here to order him around. No Terra, no Aqua and no Master Eraqus. His thoughts turned to his Master and he couldn't help but wonder why he had never been taken and shown these worlds before. He'd certainly asked enough times. Maybe now he could find out the answers the Master had been keeping from him. Maybe now he could finally find the truth.
After a small rest, Ventus stood and pressed the pauldron on his shoulder, suddenly grinning. The idea of pressing that simple button really felt good. With his Armour and his Keyblade, he could go anywhere. And it really loved that idea.

Character: Prussia (Gilbert Beilschmidt) Fandom: Axis Powers Hetalia Character Notes: History: There was a time when Prussia wasn’t Prussia. More specifically, he got his start as a confederation of Catholic soldiers called the Teutonic Knights. Back in these days, he hung out with Hungary. Well, and tried to invade Russia only to get defeated by an icy lake, but the former’s more important. Hanging out with Hungary typically involved being rivals with her. Scoping out weaknesses, fighting, stuff like that. He also was around when she figured out she was actually a she and not a he, which was awkward and traumatic for all involved. He still went around causing fights, lots of them, and one day picked a fight with Poland over the whole Catholic order thing.
It didn’t go well for what would soon be Prussia. He lost because Lithuania showed up and kicked his ass. In the long aftermath and one protestant revolution later, Prussia formed officially. Prussia still wasn’t a particularly powerful or united country, but that all changed when Frederick the Great showed up. Almost everything that makes Prussia Prussia, he got from him, from the militaristic streak to the cunning to the work ethic. He picked a fight with Austria over Silesia, in the process kicking off the War of Austrian Succession and proving an effective trial run for Prussia’s tactics in the future. They won battle after battle, holding onto most of the territories, and when the Seven Years War rolled around at about the same time, they kicked plenty of ass and took quite a few names. Long story short? Frederick the Great set the standard Prussia holds himself to, to the point that Prussia calls his former boss Old Fritz.
In 1871, Prussia pushed France until France declared war on him (sensing a pattern here), won that war, and united all the lands around Prussia in the holy duty of kicking ass. They kicked so much ass that they stayed united and formed Germany. Prussia ended up teaching Germany pretty much everything he knows, treating him like a little brother. They worked hard together, but then they ended up on the losing end of World War I, which dovetailed into the nightmare that was World War II. Somewhere in the Post World War II shuffle, Prussia got dissolved and turned into East Germany, a subsidy of Russia. Ever since, Prussia’s been seven kinds of pissed off at Russia, and it took a lot of help from his brother to chill out.
In 1989, the two halves of Germany came back together, but that sort of left Prussia in a bit of a pickle. With East Germany gone, there isn’t all that much holding Prussia’s identity together. Until (and even that’s a big if) he disappears, though, he’s crashing in Germany’s basement and raising his usual levels of hell.
Personality:
Prussia is, at almost all times, a gigantic loud mouth. No, really. His laugh is loud, the chick that he keeps with him is loud, his entire attitude from head to toe is loud, and he makes absolutely zero apologies for this. He’s a nation founded entirely by dudes, and army dudes at that, so the three things he loves most are eating, sleeping, and fighting. His fourth favorite thing is, of course, proving how awesome he is. This often overlaps with fighting. He loves to pick fights, and if he’s not picking the fight, you can be very sure he’s got a dog in it. He’s boisterous and braggy if he wins, and he’s even more intolerable when he loses. Even minor losses and setbacks are met with an increase in claims of awesomeness. He writes in his diary every day, and almost every entry begins with a variation of ‘I was awesome today’.
Of course, there is no way that anyone can be half as awesome as Prussia claims he is, even Prussia himself. Almost all his attempts at conquering people don’t work out, and if they do, they don’t work out for long. That’s the least of his problems with others. His gigantic ego is at best obnoxious. At worst, it’s intolerable. He spends almost all his time freeloading off Germany in his basement, these days. Prussia also doesn’t have as high as a success record as his ego would like. Continuing along the fail train, he also has a fondness for cute things, especially his chick, Gilbird. He also spends a lot of time torpedoing other people’s relationships when he’s bored, and overall tends to act like a gigantic troll. The internet kind, not the actual ones.
Most of the reason he torpedoes his other people’s relationships is that he’s really very lonely. As much as he hates to admit it, and boy does he hate to admit it, Prussia has an emotional core. Not all those emotions are awesome. In fact, most of them aren’t. So, in order to prevent anyone finding out about how lonely he is, he tends to overstate and overemphasize and over-everything exactly how awesome he is. Or, putting it bluntly? He lapses into denial. Continuing along the emotions theme, he values his former boss Old Fritz to an incredible degree. Nothing seems to bring him down more than feeling like he let his mentor down. Along the same lines, he does care a great deal for his friends. That goes double for Germany, who’s something along the lines of his little brother.
Prussia actually is sort of awesome, if not for the things he claims he’s awesome for. Yes, he’s a loudmouth, jerkass, obnoxious brat, but he’s all of those things and *still alive*. Prussia is a very determined sort, and doesn’t give up no matter what’s happening to him. He built himself up from literally nothing more than an order of knights to become one of the most powerful nations in Europe, and he did it with cunning and almost entirely by himself. Even now, he manages to still exist. Sure, it’s in Germany’s basement, but he’s still here and that’s the very important thing. Speaking of that cunning, it turns out that Prussia is a very methodical, careful planner, and a bit more serious than he generally lets on. He keeps all his diary entries for blackmail that won’t actually go anywhere, after all. He writes in it every single day, which shows his diligence. He also has the same problem that Germany has: sometimes he obeys his bosses too much.
Also, for how big a game he talks and all the drinking he supposedly does? Those knights were Catholic. When he sees Hungary’s chest after an injury, he can’t even look at her and gets a pair of blush stickers for the rest of the scene. Just putting that out there.
I was awesome today! Someone should give me medals in awesomeness, but if they did, they’d run out of gold before they got through all of mine. There’s a huge meeting going down in Mexico right now. Pretty much everyone who matters is stuck drowning in paperwork right now, while I get to lurk around the hotel and snoop on everyone’s shit. It’s not like I got kicked out or they forgot about me or West left me there! I don’t need those losers for anything! I’m so awesome it hurts! Spain’s still looking kind of sick, though. Then again, everyone is. I think I even saw West sneeze the other day, but you didn’t hear it from me. Oh! And another thing! France is still striking about his elections. Or something. He’s always striking about something. The socialists won both of them, I bet anything America’s flipping his shit about it.
See? Keep me in a hotel room all they like and I’ll still be more awesome than all of them combined.
Third Person:
The best thing about not being a nation anymore is nobody cares where he goes. Alright, West does, but West always keeps track of things like that. And sure, sometimes Spain and France stop in for awhile, but that’s not the point. By and large, nobody cares where he goes or what he does. Big mistake. One day he’ll make them sorry the way he used to, but today’s probably not that day. And honestly, today he’s happy nobody cares where he goes, because if they tried to follow him he’d punch them in the throat.
He’s walking in Potsdam. There’s so many schools here, sometimes even he loses track. People love to think that just because he can kick their ass before they can blink that somehow that makes him stupid. Well, fine, they can go ahead and think that. He doesn’t care what they think. How do they think he won so many wars? Got lucky? Please. There’s more to war than just swinging a sword around and charging. He knows that, and he’ll keep on knowing that, and they can suck it because they don’t know it.
It’s August, and the parks are scorching. There’s people in them, probably tourists, maybe officials. He doesn’t pay them any mind, because he’s on a whole other level than them. He’s got cornflowers in his cap. West’s flowers, technically, nowadays. They’re the right color blue, his color blue, and that makes it worth the possibility of being seen with them. He finds the place in the vineyards, almost unmarked and almost overlooked entirely if nobody knew any better. He knows better. Always has, always will.
He leaves the flowers on the stone overheating in the sun. “Still watching over me, yeah?” He says it in German, just to show him.

Player nickname: Mini Player DW: misheard Way to contact you: Email: nealuchi@gmail.com AIM: ryudojitemple Other: Plurk: Misheard Are you at least 15?: Y Current Characters: None
Character: Issei Ryudo Fandom: Fate/stay night Character Notes: History: History, what history? Well, there's all this stuff about magi and a holy grail and heroic spirits going on in the background, but none of that is remotely relevant to Issei!
Things that are relevant to Issei: he was born as the son of the owner of Ryudoji Temple in Fuyuki, Japan. He has every intention of becoming a monk; in the meantime, he's the student council president at his high school. Most of his time in canon is spent worrying over his best friend, Shirou Emiya; we hear from him that he's very popular with girls in the school, but luckily for Issei's dignity, we never see that onscreen.
There are a few tidbits of history we get - he has considered one of the teachers who lives in his temple with him a brother for three years, and his hated rival Rin Tohsaka (he considers her a rival, she barely notices him) used to be in the same student council with him. But most of his role is to provide exposition, bring out defining character traits in others, and freak out that one time it looked like he might be a significant character with relevance to the plot and Shirou told him to strip. (It made complete sense at the time to Shirou, but from Issei's perspective, it was his best friend ordering him randomly in the middle of lunch to take off his clothes, and then doing it by force. And then acting like nothing at all happened later. What even was going on there.)
Did I mention he was a minor character?
Personality: Normally, Issei presents a fairly calm and responsible front. He works diligently as student council president, grumbling good-naturedly about his fellow council members who don't work as hard as him. His friends don't remember him ever missing a class. He drinks tea in the morning, reads poetry, follows his family's heritage as monks (even going so far as to want to shave his head after graduation), and generally is a well-behaved, polite young man.
A few things raise his ire, and when they do, he gets well and truly pissed off. His rival Rin, for example, has earned his enmity for manipulating the entire school into believing her false 'perfect student' impression. He won't hesitate on taking a chance to keep people away from her, or to strike at her if there's an opportunity... unfortunately, she always has the upper hand.
An issue more important to him is the matter of friendship. He only seems to have one real friend, Shirou, but he treats him warmly and with great care. He's always looking out for Shirou, warning him away from dangers like Rin and being taken advantage of for being too much of a doormat. When Shirou misses just one day of school, Issei arrives at his home bearing fruit for the supposed sick student. Issei is always blushing at him and places a great deal of weight in his opinion and happiness.
While Issei tends to be shy and cold towards people he doesn't like, and he's a little more wary around women due to his teachings, particularly beautiful women can break through that. Caster he speaks well of, and Saber he trusts instinctively despite her being in Shirou's home (a massive problem for overprotective Issei).
He's also a dork who can quote poetry and may or may not have a system for working out where to eat school lunch based on if he coughs in the morning. And he's extraordinarily tactile, often grabbing onto Shirou without warning.
Finally, he doesn't believe that normal people should get involved in things above their heads, and he's a normal person. Other: There will be some resets, but by and large I'll be playing him with his CR and development intact. Additional Links:http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Ryuudou_Issei ?
First Person (entry type): Contrary to popular opinion, I actually like the community.
All right, it's true that I hate it for much of the time. Viruses. Romantic viruses. When it has every intention of ruining my life, then I hate it as much as any of you do, and well I should.
However, it's much easier than getting normal friends. I do have some, mostly monks... But even they hardly count as normal now, do they? When they could be affected by any virus that hits me, and they know it, it's not fair to call them average people.
...Hm. I wonder if it's moral to bring average people into your inner circle and subject them to this. What do you think?
Third Person: Issei was ticked off. Not only that, but he was mad.
This was the immediate problem. Buddhism was not generally encouraging of getting mad. It served no purpose whatsoever, and was a poison to the self.
After he calmed down as best he could, however, the fact remained that there were muddy footprints all over the temple floor.
How childish. How rude. No monk would possibly do such a thing. Who could have forgotten to switch their shoes, and in a holy place to boot (no pun intended)?
"It is natural for the immature to harm others. Getting angry with them is like resenting a fire for burning." Obviously he was dealing with someone who didn't even know how to be polite, so he had no reason to stew.
Still, Issei had to correct this immediately, or who knew how many floors might be ruined. It was time to seriously investigate matters among the friends of his who might drop by unexpectedly.

Character: Dr Herman Einstein Fandom: Arsenic & Old Lace (film version)
Character Notes: History: The main story of Arsenic and Old Lace centres around Mortimer Brewster and his two aunts, who happen to be murdering old men as a 'charity' - thinking they are putting lonely old souls out of their misery. The film is a black comedy and much is played for laughs. An even darker twist, though, involves the appearance of Mortimer's brother Jonathan - a notorious criminal and murderer. With him, Jonathan brings his 'sidekick' Dr Herman Einstein, who is a plastic surgeon and alcoholic, about forty years old. Einstein has operated numerous times on Jonathan to change his appearance in hopes of evading the police. Not much is know about Dr Einstein prior to this although he claims to have studied officially at Heidelberg to prove his is a legitimate surgeon and doctor but his qualifications are debatable. He and Jonathan have travelled around together with Einstein being witness or directly involved with aiding Jonathan on his killing spree. The doctor does seem to find this violence distasteful but even so he goes along with much of Jonathan's wants, mostly out of fear for his own safety.
On the run from the police Jonathan and Dr Einstein seek shelter with Jonathan's aunts, Martha and Abby. Meanwhile Mortimer is there and has discovered that their aunts have about a dozen bodies buried in the basement. Jonathan compounds the problems by bringing along a dead body of his own, not realising what the old ladies have been doing. Along the way Jonathan plans to do away with Mortimer, with help from Dr Einstein but the plans are foiled by an unwitting policeman. Eventually Jonathan is caught and hauled away but Mortimer ends up letting Dr Einstein go free after getting him to sign over the other crazy relatives as a certified doctor.
Personality: Dr Einstein is a jittery man, rather nervous and jumpy especially when he hasn't had a drink. Despite his sinister dealings with people like multiple killer Jonathan Brewster, Einstein isn't such a hardened criminal or psychopath. He's reluctant and he urges Jonathan to do it the 'quick way' when Mortimer is under threat by his brother, who prefers to torture and kill him slowly. Einstein is often craving alcohol and is often mentioned to be intoxicated - such as when he performed surgery to make Jonathan's face look like Boris Karloff - after having seen the actor in a film. He is rather quiet otherwise but earnest at times. Occasionally doing the right thing by trying to warn Mortimer of Jonathan's plan to kill him. But he can also be amused by the macabre such as when he finds out that the aunts have murdered about the same number of people as Jonathan. He's very grateful to save his own skin and will quickly flee from or avoid danger if he can, such as when he slips away near the end of the story, after being so close to being caught by the police. He appears to be adaptable in the way he goes along with people - having to pretend to go along with other brother Teddy's crazy antics and fluidly goes along with things both good and bad as long as he himself is safe.
Other: He's soft spoken with a German accent.

[There appears a fidgeting man on the screen. His glance to camera is furtive and fleeting and he's speaking in a breathless whispering way as if he's either been running and is out of breath or he's trying to hide from someone.]
I don't know vhat you vant me to tell you but you do vant me to say something, ja? Look, me and Chonny are... Something has to happen. His face. It needs to be changed again and I don't know vhy I am telling you this but you might be able to help. You might know of some quiet out of the way place we can lay low and... hide out. Ja, hideout.
[He nervously rubs his temple and utters a shaky laugh.]
Not that we've done anything wrong. Ve just... need a change. Ja. A change is needed. A change of scenery. Some space to think and plan and...
[More fidgeting as he looks around and mutters to himself.]
I need a drink...
Third Person: Dr Herman Einstein was sitting alone in a hotel room.
Sometimes he hated to be left alone like this - even if it did mean that Jonathan was outside and away from him. The man made him nervous but they had been in a strange kind of partnership for over five years and leaving now was somehow more dangerous than sticking around. He thought about what Jonathan may be doing right now... and the images that immediately sprung to mind made him blanche and jump up from his chair, searching for a bottle.
"Now where did he put it...," he next swore quietly in German under his breath as he opened cupbopard after cupboard, his search becoming more frantic until he spied a green bottle, half full of some liquid. Einstein breathed out a loud sigh of relief and hugged the bottle to him as if it was a long lost baby.
Seeming calmer now, he sat down again and began pouring himself a drink when a sudden knock on the door made him startle and spill it. His expression was forlorn toward the spillage before he sighed resignedly and got to his feet reluctantly, moving toward the door.

Character: Frankie Stein Fandom: Monster High
Character Notes:
History: There... isn't really much to say here, for the simple reason that Frankie really hasn't been alive (or undead, or whatever she is) for very long. In fact, when the series begins, she's only been alive for fifteen days. She was sewn together out of bodies by her father, a scientist well-known in the monster community as Dr. Frankenstein, though he goes by just Stein normally. (Circumstances are kind of vague as to why, although they have mentioned being afraid of angry human villagers -- human-monster relations are fairly strained -- and that they've had to move a lot. At the very least, the local monster community knows who he is.) Frankie's mind is well-developed for somebody who just started existing, yet she's incredibly naive, a fact that carries through to everything else that happens in her life after this.
She starts school at Monster High, the (uncreatively-named) first school to integrate all monster races, as opposed to the various all-vampire, all-werewolf, etc. schools in the area. She makes friends quickly with an assortment of people from school, who, over time, start to form a group. Season one is a gag-a-day series with very little in the way of important events, so there isn't much to say about it. I'll be taking her right from the start of season two, where the actual plot starts up and they pay attention to continuity.
The main arc of the second season is the reformation and struggles of the Fear Squad. (Cheerleading squad. The MH universe is stuffed with bad horror puns.) After Cleo, the captain of the Fear Squad, works everyone too hard to satisfy her perfectionist tendencies, the entire Fear Squad quits but Frankie, and while Cleo BSODs, Frankie goes to recruit a bunch of her friends to reform the squad. Though they have trouble dealing with Cleo's ego, they actually start to perform well, and they eventually get a shot to go to fear camp at Gloom Beach to be able to move on to Monster Mashionals. However, they also have to deal with Toralei Stripe, a weretiger who quit the squad and is now jealous of their success. After Cleo turns down her request to rejoin, citing that the squad doesn't need fairweather members, Toralei seeks revenge and tries to sabotage the ghouls -- I mean, girls -- in any way possible.
In a few of these schemes, she takes advantage of Frankie's naivete and willingness to forgive, and thus Frankie ends up learning to be a little more wary of people's intentions, at least if they're obviously evil. This is balanced out when she meets and is immediately suspicious of Spectra (for spreading sensationalist gossip -- she didn't actually mean harm, that's just what she does), Abbey (for being outwardly cold and for throwing snow -- she was framed by Toralei for the snow and her culture back home doesn't put a lot of stock in showing emotion), and Operetta (for apparently stealing Deuce from Cleo and/or stealing Clawd from Draculaura -- Cleo jumps to conclusions and Spectra spreads too many rumours). Once Frankie learns the truth, all three become her friends.
Frankie also has a subplot running through the season, where she meets a transfer student named Jackson, the first human student in the school. He gets picked on a lot, but Frankie doesn't see the problem with being human -- or anything, really. The only problem is one that Draculaura mentioned when she had a thing for Jackson; he always seems to back out on plans. Meanwhile, Frankie meets another guy who gets on her nerves at first -- Holt Hyde, who always seems to be there when Jackson isn't. However, as it turns out, Jackson and Holt are the same person, a result of an experiment their grandfather performed on himself before their mother was born. Since she loves both of them and they can't stand each other even from reputation, Frankie takes it upon herself to mediate between the two of them, recording them on her iCoffin and triggering the transformation so they can actually talk to each other. They eventually come to an understanding with her help, though they still drive each other crazy wondering what the other did last night.
In the end of season two, Frankie and the Fear Squad are forced to deal with Cleo's older sister, Nefera, coming back to be their new faculty advisor. Nefera is an absolute terror to deal with and eventually takes the excuse to cut the entire team and name Toralei and her sidekicks the new Fear Squad. After Frankie picks Cleo up out of her slump, the girls reform as the B-squad, and when Nefera posts guards anywhere that they could possibly go to prevent them from practicing, Operetta -- as an apology to Cleo -- leads them into the labyrinth in the catacombs under the school and lets them practice while she plays the organ. They enter Mashionals with some pull from their old coach at Gloom Beach and the competition gets down to the Monster High A-squad versus the B-squad. Nefera, furious, takes out a collection of cursed items from her family's tomb and uses them on the B-squad during their performance, but all of their friends in the audience use their own powers to neutralize them. When it gets down to the last one, Toralei and her hangers-on block it, stating that they never agreed to cheating and that they wanted to win cleanly this time -- a contrast from Gloom Beach, when cheating was all they'd do. The B-squad wins the trophy and becomes the school's official fearleading squad again, while Nefera ragequits and goes back to trying to salvage her modelling career.
Then comes Fright On!, one of the TV specials. In an attempt to further integrate the monster community, the population of a vampire school and a werewolf school are both added to Monster High's, and a human researcher named van Helscream becomes the school's administrator, painting himself as a peacemaker who wants to bring all monsters and humans together. Frankie gets her friends together to help make the feuding vampires and werewolves get along, but when it works, van Helscream panics. He turns the headmistress into a statue and passes his assistant, Ms. Crabgrass, off as the real headmistress, dissolves Frankie's welcoming committee, and plants seeds of xenophobia in the curriculum.
Frankie and Abbey figure out his plan and cure the real headmistress, but van Helscream is a step ahead of them and throws them all in a death trap, as well as Frankie's good friend Draculaura, framing the werewolves for her disappearance, and their other friend Clawdeen's younger sister Howleen, similarly framing the vampires. However, the death trap is hopelessly ancient and Abbey's ice powers and super strength break them out, and they escape with Operetta showing up to guide them out of the labyrinth. Frankie exposes the truth and everybody is able to join together; van Helscream says that, if monsters keep hating each other, humans won't be in danger, but Frankie and her friends assert that nobody has to hate anybody for what they are. Administrator van Helscream and Ms. Crabgrass are turned into statues by Deuce and put into the courtyard.
Season three goes back to joke-a-day, with the increased number of TV specials advancing the plot. Frankie continues to meet a number of new friends, but despite being the main character, her biggest role in this portion of canon is offering advice to others, like Jackson, Venus, and Abbey. She doesn't do much in the special Why do Ghouls Fall in Love, save for coming up with a few ideas to get her friends back to normal after Cupid's daughter misses when she tries to get Clawd and Draculaura back together.
In Escape from Skull Shores, another special, she and her friends all go overseas to meet Lagoona's family in Australia, but the ship is attacked by a kraken and they wash up on an uncharted island. They're taken in by a dishonest carnie, Farnum, who uses Frankie as bait to capture a supposed horrible beast feared by the island natives; the monster in question is a nice guy and Frankie just happens to look like a scientist who once visited the island and befriended him, hence her resemblance to all the statues around the island. Everyone turns on Farnum and they're about to escape, but Farnum turns a magnet on Frankie and blackmails Andy/the Beast to come with him. They're eventually saved and they run back home, integrating Andy into the school, but Farnum follows them and tries to get him back by infiltrating the school as a guest speaker. He almost gets Andy back to use in his freak show, despite Frankie's best efforts. In the end, though, Farnum's assistant turns on him, revealing himself to be a deformed human, and Farnum is thrown into a tar pit, emerging only to be covered in feathers and captured by the human monster hunters he called himself to catch Andy.
The canon is still ongoing, but this is all that's happened so far!
Personality: Frankie is characterized as being sweet, clueless, and incredibly naive. She tends to make assumptions about the world that may or may not be true, and she thinks every little thing is either incredibly exciting (ice cream = food of the gods) or the end of the world (crying = are my eyes broken?). This makes a lot of sense, all things considered; she starts canon only a few days old, and she quickly realizes that being "the new girl" is more trouble than it's worth. At the current point in canon, she's now just under a year old, and people are starting to be less forgiving of her not knowing everything she probably should. This pushes her to wish she were new again, rather than "the not-so-new-anymore girl".
Frankie is very curious about the world, but she generally takes people's explanations at face value. She once worked a charity fundraising table at school without even knowing what it was for ("uh... a good cause...?"), just because she was told that getting involved in extracurriculars was a good thing. This can very easily get her stuck when other people look deeper into things she just took for granted, and it can and does get her into trouble when people take advantage of her naivete. She even expects the best out of known enemies who have done nothing but ruin things for her and her friends and have absolutely no reason to be nice to her.
This, though, can be a good thing as much as it is a bad thing. Frankie believing the best about people does cause problems, but sometimes she does have a point -- and sometimes her clueless optimism sees things that nobody else does. Although Frankie is childish and very concerned with fitting in, enough that she's made things up on the spot to try and convince people that she's "cool" or "normal" (though it never, ever ends well), her acting like herself has actually started to change how everybody else thinks.
Frankie is good-natured and enthusiastic, though her cluelessness and clumsiness can do more harm than good. The school has had to hire a second janitor just to clean up her messes and she's officially banned from swimming ever since the electricity running through her fried the pool. She fangirls boy bands and pop stars, and she could be called boy-crazy, but then, she is nearly sixteen (physically and mentally, in any case). Frankie often reads teen magazines for life advice, even though it's all pretty terrible and tends to lead to her embarrassing herself. She really loves her family, even if they don't make a lot of sense to her, and she's dedicated to the Fear Squad even though she's not the best cheerleader in the world (comes with having your limbs stitched on). Other: A while ago, we used to have a Lala, the version of Draculaura from the book canon. I'm playing Frankie from a separate continuity; she's from the web show, which has a wholly different plot and focus. So yeah. Additional Links:Wiki article!
First Person (entry type):
So I... kind of have a liiiiiiiittle bit of a problem, guys and ghouls. What do you do when you... oh, it's complicated. Say you like... say you like two boys. But they're totally different and they don't like each other very much. One's always loud and quiet people burn him up, and one hides in the background and doesn't like people who make a lot of noise. And I can't even get them to talk to one another! I mean, not just "can't because they don't want to", more like "can't because they don't want to and because one actually transforms into the other when he hears loud music, and if they're the same person then I obviously can't get them into a room together".
I'm thinking of just recording them on my iCoffin, but then the problem is getting them to listen. Maybe I should just corner him at the maim entrance at school tomorrow... Or he's always at the maul, maybe he'll be there when everyone meets at the Coffin Bean! ...ugh, I suck at this. Help?
Third Person:
As Frankie looked around the dance hall, the metal bolts on either side of her neck started to spark and crackle. She turned her eyes up, lightly bopping herself on the head so they'd both look in the same direction. The community had really gone all out. There were decorations everywhere! Well, sort of weird-looking decorations. The lights along the wall were shaped like ducks -- she'd have expected skulls -- and the streamers didn't even look tattered. There was even a big fondue fountain that had -- something. That wasn't slime. Was it chocolate? She cautiously took a strawberry and dipped it into the strange substance, then popped it into her mouth. It was chocolate! It definitely tasted good. She hadn't had anything like this before. Well, not that she'd had as much experience with life as anyone else.
"Scarylicious," she commented, giving a wide smile to everyone else around the fondue fountain. "I've never been to a community party before! Are they all this fun? Because this is pretty voltage on its own. The food is--" She paused and scratched her head. "Hey, how come none of the food is moving? Is there a reason none of it has eyes?"

Character: David Fandom:Prometheus Character Notes: History: David is one of the eighth generation of TIPE androids, developed by Weyland Industries. David himself appears to have been the personal android of Peter Weyland, the head of Weyland Industries. Weyland describes David as the closest thing he has to a son (though lacking a soul), and when Weyland is present David is seen to give him personal care as part of an established routine. It is also implied that David has something of a...strained relationship with Weyland's actual child, Meredith Vickers.
When Drs. Shaw and Holloway, a pair of archaeologists, discover cave paintings around the world pointing to a specific cluster of stars which prove to have a planet with a moon with earth-like conditions, Weyland agrees to fund a trip to that moon (and secretly comes along himself, in stasis). David is also sent on board the exploratory ship Prometheus, and during its journey takes care of the ship and its occupants while the humans are in stasis.
And now come the spoilers for the movie.
Upon arrival, David wakes the human members of the crew up. It does not take them long to find what appear to be unnatural structures. A team of several crew members, including David, suit up and begin to explore the nearest building. David, having spent much of the journey studying languages and linguistics, easily deciphers the writing on the walls inside, but does not fully share his ability to do this with the others. They eventually find a the body of a humanoid alien and a chamber containing sculptures and a host of metal cylinders. While the humans examine the room and its decorations, David studies the cylinders, and notices when they start to bleed a black liquid. Unbeknownst to the others, David takes one of the cylinders back to the ship, where he privately studies it. He discovers vials of the black liquid inside, and later spikes Holloway's champagne with a drop of it.
Meanwhile, back in the alien building, guys who got lost earlier get killed by pale fleshy snakes with vaginas for mouths.
David is implied to be receiving continuing orders from Weyland, in spite of the fact that Weyland is still in stasis. While the rest of the crew explore the building again, David is sent to investigate why one probe is intermittently indicating that there is a life form in one area, and probably fix the probe. After bypassing several doors David discovers what appears to be the bridge of a ship, and (after cutting off video feed to Vickers) determines that its last course was set for earth and one of the humanoid aliens is still alive in stasis.
Everyone heads back to the ship, because it turns out that Holloway is seriously ill. Vickers threatens to burn Holloway with a flamethrower if he tries to set foot on the ship and risk contaminating people. Holloway deliberately provokes Vickers into actually burning him to death. Oops.
Back on the ship, David gives Shaw a medical exam, and it turns out that thanks to Holloway's infection she is now pregnant with an alien mutant terror. David refuses to comply with her demands to get the thing out of her, instead trying to subdue her so she can be placed in stasis and brought back to Earth (for proper study). David goes to help bring Weyland out of stasis. In the meantime, Shaw finds a way to get the alien mutant terror out of her, and ends up meeting up with Weyland and David.
Meanwhile, the mutated body of one of the lost guys from earlier attacks and kills a few people before he's taken out.
Weyland, Shaw, David, and some guy who's just going to die anyway go back to the bridge of the ship inside the building and wake the alien from stasis. David speaks to it. In a show of terrible manners, it responds by tearing David's head off his body, and killing Weyland and that other guy. Shaw escapes. David, being a robot and significantly less inhibited by decapitation than humans would be, informs the others that the alien intends to take that black liquid to earth. The remaining crew of the Prometheus crash into the alien's ship, preventing it from unleashing abominations on earth. Also Vickers gets crushed.
Shaw makes it to the escape pod which had been ejected from the Prometheus, pursued by the alien which apparently survived its ship's crash. Inside, it turns out the alien mutant terror Shaw had removed from herself has grown substantially. Shaw lets the mutant terror attack the alien and escapes herself. David informs Shaw that he can help her activate another of the alien ships. Shaw gathers up David's head and body and the two set off, Shaw determined to find out why the aliens started wanting to destroy humanity.
I'd be taking David from around a year into the Prometheus's voyage, long before they reach their destination.
Personality: It's a little difficult to tell to what extent David is as he was made, and to what extent he has evolved. Certainly, he is capable of more feeling (and deception) than his human crewmates believe. But he remains confounded by many human emotional impulses- such as the need to know why another did something.
David is fundamentally curious. He seeks to acquire knowledge and skills, even when left to his own devices. He appears to enjoy challenges, creating diversions for himself such as shooting baskets while riding around the basketball court on a bicycle. When in pursuit of knowledge, following an order, or both, he is perfectly capable of going to extremes that humans may find...distressing (such as just letting an alien mutant terror gestate inside someone). He also lacks a human sense of boundaries, finding it perfectly acceptable to watch someone's dreams to learn about them (and humanity in general). David is a somewhat atypical fictional android in that he takes a great deal of initiative. This is probably related to the fact that he does not appear to be at all three-laws compliant (after all, if one of the purposes of your androids is to do things which humans may find ethically objectionable, it would be counterproductive to limit them so). He acts on his own or ignores orders from humans other than Weyland, doing things such as activating the holograms in the alien building by tracing the writing before he told anyone he could read it, or singling out the black liquid for his own study (though one assumes he later informed Weyland of it). He is, of course, immensely intelligent, capable of storing vast amounts of information and determining patterns incredibly swiftly.
Still, he is aware of himself as basically "lacking." While Weyland has acted as a father to David, it's evident that Weyland has made it clear to David that David is less than human (Weyland does not believe an android could have a soul). David's relationship with humans is thus contradictory and strained. He knows that he is more intelligent, more durable, and capable of more than any human, and he looks down on humans somewhat because of that. When humans seem to look down on or underestimate him, he can respond by seeming to be as they suggest while advancing his own agenda (for example- Holloway doubts David's ability to read the alien script- and David takes advantage of the time that affords to open a door in spite of others wanting to be more cautious). He seems to find it too easy to deal with humans, and would like to meet individuals who are more his equals. Yet he is terribly devoted to Weyland, and fascinated by some aspects of human behavior. His obsession with Lawrence of Arabia apparently stems from this- it's a film Weyland loves, and David probably started watching it out of a desire to better understand his "father." As much as he wants to meet his equals, David also wants to be approved of by humans, and to understand them.
Of course, he would say that he isn't capable of "wanting" something. While that's not entirely accurate, there is a certain truth in his denial of emotional capacity. David looks at situations as a collection of facts. If someone attacks him, the important thing is to adjust to this information- the "why" of the attack is irrelevant information. He sees no problem causing someone harm and then offering them aid a few hours later if the situation changes and makes it more to his benefit to do so. He doesn't really understand how emotional consequences work, for all that he's capable of presenting logical arguments.
Today is the 94th day of the Prometheus' journey, October 15th, 2091 A.D. I have continued in my lessons, and have completed my study of Gaelic since my last report. While if Doctor Holloway's theory is correct, we are most likely to encounter a language with some commonalities with early Indo-European languages, I have nonetheless mastered the earliest known Chinese script, jiǎgǔwén. I shall progress to later forms of the script and spoken dialects shortly.
The journey continues without incident and on course, with no indicators of inconveniences arising within the next 46 hours and 28 minutes. The crew sleep well. They dream.
I will continue to keep you appraised of developments.
Third Person: Humans had so much faith. Faith in themselves, in their abilities, in each other, in "God." It was everywhere.
Take Dr. Shaw- an educated woman, a relatively accomplished archaeologist. But a woman of faith, nonetheless. It was in her background, of course, as she was the daughter of missionaries. But it struck David that the logical reaction to her father's death would have been to conclude that there was no benevolent power. Ebola was such a violent disease, humans always seemed to find it disquieting. Yet Dr. Shaw had not only continued to to believe, but had searched for that power. She believed she had found it, and that it had invited her. That was the word she insisted on- "invitation." A word the definition of which included "allurement."
Even if there were creators at their destination- would they have invited their creations? It was unlikely. David was asked by his creators to do many things, he was ordered to do even more. But he was not "invited." Creators were too preoccupied with their own questions to pay heed to that of their creations. David would have advised against meeting their maker. It was an unremarkable experience.
But his role was not to advise. He had confirmed that the crew was safe and healthy. His present task complete, he disengaged from the system monitoring Dr. Shaw.

Character: Daiki Kaitou Fandom: Kamen Rider Decade Character Notes: History: Daiki hails from the series Kamen Rider Decade, and plays the part of the secondary Rider, alongside Yusuke Onodera aka Kamen Rider Kuuga. Kaitou lived on a world formally known as DiEnd World, and it was here that he was a willing part of Fourteen's plan to take over the world, and make it a better place. Being a cop and enforcer of Fourteen's will, he worked tirelessly to make the world better, and defeat the Kamen Riders that were threatening the peace. However when he discovered the truth that Fourteen was not using his re-education process and instead injecting people with nanotechnology to overwrite their basic personalities and make them loyal to his will, he fled.
Somewhere in this period of time, he happened upon the ranks of Dai Shocker, and managed to steal the DiEnd Driver which was one of the two treasures of the world that he had managed to flee to. Armed with it, and the new drive to obtain treasure in each and every world he came across, Kaitou sought to also protect them from being lost, being that there is a precious treasure for everyone in their worlds.
Making his way across the worlds, he also soon came across Tsukasa Kadoya who had lost his memory from his journey through the worlds. Encountering him informally in Blade World, he resumed the journey afterwards in the next world, Faiz. It was here that Kaitou stole the Decade Driver from Tsukasa, but was forced to save him when Narutaki tried to kill Tsukasa with Kiva.
Deciding he would make his journey on his own, he continued to steal things through many worlds, such as trying to turn Momotaros into DenLiner so he could steal it, and the three treasures of the Oni schools in Hibiki, although he wound up mentoring the young Asumo in Hibiki's World and learning a little bit about himself. He also participated in the battle in the past, as he summoned Riders for the Imagin to fight and later possess. It was in the last presumed world that he once again showed up, and fought the Dark Riders who were ruling that world and watched Tsukasa gain Decade Complete.
After that, Kaitou went ahead to the next few worlds, stealing various things such as the Ika Origami from the Shinkenger World, as well as summoning a second Kotarou Minami in Black RX's world. However they also came to DiEnd's World where they discovered that his brother had become Fourteen's willing servant, and after Tsukasa and Kaitou defeated Fourteen, Jun turned against them and tried to kill Kaitou, but couldn't.
After Amazon World where Kaitou tried to steal the Gigigi and Gagaga Bracelets, and succeeded for a short period of time, they came to Tsukasa's home world, where a great Rider Battle was fought. After deciding the strongest Rider was Tsukasa, Dai Shocker arose from the earth and Tsukasa took his place as Great Leader. It was here that Kaitou had infiltrated the group to learn of their plans, and then saved Narutaki and Natsumi from death when the Shocker Combatants chased them down. After being persuaded into gathering the remaining Riders, Kaitou went with a newly invigorated Tsukasa to face off against the rest of Dai Shocker, where after what seemed like a hopeless battle, was joined by the title Riders from Ichigo to Kiva. And the newly arrived W also helped as well, although Kaitou didn't see that. Instead, when King Dark appeared, he used his greatest treasure, Kamen Rider J and then used a Final Form Ride on Tsukasa to turn J into a giant Decade Complete. He was then a part of the final attack, and journeyed to the next world where the true Rider War was to begin.
It was here that Kaitou found himself fighting for his own needs, making sure that Tsukasa was his alone to fight. The Riders all joined together to defeat Tsukasa, and in the end, Kaitou had him at point blank range. But, he didn't shoot, as he left the battle. Since then, he's been watching the Rider War, hoping for a resolution when Tsukasa was slain by Natsumi. With effort, they resurrected Tsukasa, and went to fight the remnants of Dai Shocker who had become Super Shocker. With Super Shocker destroyed, they went on a journey together.
Sometime later, they revisited Den-O's world so that Kaitou could undo a mistake he made. Having stolen a golden jewelled gun from a young man, he also realized that he let a precious treasure be destroyed, so he set it up so that his younger self would be stopped seconds before both treasures were lost. His younger self got away with the gun but then G Den-O gave him the DiEnd Complete K-Touch so that they could defeat the artificial Imagin that had taken over G Den-O's powers. Returning to the Hikari Studio, he did manage to steal Ryotarou's mug from the DenLiner.
During 2012, Kaitou also participated in the Superhero War. Information for this event is lacking due to no English release.
Personality: At first glance, one can simply assume Kaitou Daiki is a treasure obsessed thief, one that would do anything to obtain treasure. As time goes on, it seems that he has more to him than a first impression would give. While obsessed with treasure and the obtaining of them, he will do anything to preserve treasures from being damaged or lost. Also his definition of treasure is broad, from a mothers love to friendship, things that are also unobtainable through physical means. But those things he steals physically are kept safe, and from prying eyes.
He can be easily fooled at times, especially playing into Tsukasa's half-hazard attempts at foisting off treasures onto him that he himself cannot use. He will cut and run from a battle when the going gets tough, preferring to attack from the shadows instead of fighting directly, although as a Rider he is capable of both of these things. His skill with finding objects lost is a valued one, especially in worlds where the typical has a much different definition than normal.
He values his brother and wishes to return him to the kind man he was before he served Fourteen, and considers family a irreplaceable treasure. In fact, this whole situation is what caused him to go on the treasure hunt, and obtain things from across the multiverse. He will not intentionally harm anyone unless it is to his benefit, and considers certain people in his world irreplaceable.
He values friendship despite outwardly not caring about it that much, and finds it a troublesome treasure that could be replaced by anything. However, it soon rapidly becomes apparent that Kaitou is lonely even by Rider standards, and will fight to preserve his own needs and wants. He has a tendency to taunt people when things go in his favour, and troll as much as possible, giving them little chance but to sputter as he gets away with whatever he's stolen.
Other: Kaitou is in possession of the DiEnd Driver, a weapon-device that allows him not only the ability to travel between worlds on a whim, but transform into Kamen Rider DiEnd. His skills are often put to the test as a thief, and he steals treasure from all points and periods of worlds and times depending on how much access he has to time travel or to other worlds and timeframes.
As DiEnd he can summon any of the secondary Riders from the first 9 Heisei Rider seasons, as well as use cards for Amazon and Black. He will usually steal and run however from a fight, since his whole skillset comes from fighting and running and stealing.
How do you know, community if something's been stolen? Perhaps something that was locked down, hidden away, maybe even lost to time. How do you know that a treasure like that hasn't been taken already, by yours truly?
[And Kaitou makes a 'bang' motion with his thumb and index finger towards the surface of the DiEnd Driver.]
See you later, community. I've got a treasure to steal. [And perhaps the view would show your own place.]
Third Person:
Kaitou walked towards the group, DiEnd Driver in hand. "Know this, for before this day, and any other, I was a passing through Kamen Rider!"
Locking his card into his weapon, it proclaimed KAMENRIDE as he held it up over his head. "Henshin!" DIEND!
In a flash of light and a spread of 10 cards making a spiked crown, he threw himself into battle, kicking and punching and shooting at point blank range. "What you have to remember," he exclaimed as he ducked a strike and shot the enemy in the chest, "Is that you have the power to change all of this!"
More gunshots rang out as he fired into the enemies. "For that, you have to ask yourself, is it worth it? Is this my treasure?"
He fired more and locked a Kamenride Card into his weapon. "KAMENRIDE RAY!" And summoned Kamen Rider Ray. "It's really up to you."
