Can we see another first person sample, please? We'd like to see something that involves him actually speaking-- although we recognize that the style you used is how the comic usually communicates him, it would not be suitable in all circumstances.

Are you at least 15?: Yes.
Current Characters: N/A (Previously Dolly, Fawn, aaaaaaand Quackerjack!)
Character: Quackerjack (full name unknown)
Fandom: Darkwing Duck
Character Notes:
History:
Once, Quackerjack Toys was a successful toy company. Then video games came around, and children didn't want 'plain' toys anymore. The biggest offender? Whiffle Boy. It was enough to drive the head of Quackerjack Toys completely mad. He took on the role of Quackerjack, a crazed jester of a villain, determined on getting revenge with the aide of his very unique toys.
At least, this is how Quackerjack tells the story. Usually.
Sometimes, he's angry because parents won't let their children buy his toys because they're too dangerous. The Whiffle Boy thing isn’t all that consistent, really. And how long Quackerjack has been specializing in weapon-like toys is unclear. A lot about Quackerjack's past is unclear.
His present, though, is less of a mystery. Quackerjack is a villain in Saint Canard, terrorizing the citizens in a variety of ways: Maybe he's attacking a toy store that won't carry his toys. Maybe he's planning on ruining a Whiffle Boy tournament. Maybe Negaduck has a special job in mind for him. Heck, maybe he's just bored. But like all villains in Saint Canard, Quackerjack has an obstacle - Something standing between him and his 'fun'. That something? That would be Darkwing Duck.
Quackerjack first met the superhero in-person when he (Quackerjack, not Darkwing) snuck into a Whiffle Boy Video Game Tournament, planning to wreak havoc. Drake Mallard happened to be attending the event, and - under the guise of Darkwing - stopped the villain. Quackerjack didn't give up easily, and even ended up transported into the video game, but eventually Darkwing won out. The pattern had begun…
(It is hard to determine the order of events, since it would seem the episodes are not aired in sequential order. (I'm going by a mix of ‘what should be continuity’, air date, and significance here.) But, regardless of when they happened, these events have played an important role in Quackerjack's life, and/or offer good examples of the jester's bizarre mentality and unique villainy.)
-Quackerjack joined the Fearsome Five – a team of criminals constructed and lead by Negaduck. While simply being a member of this group changed things for Quackerjack, it is perhaps most significant that this is (presumably) how he met Megavolt. The two have since teamed up on a few occasions, and it could be said that the two are best friends, in their own, somewhat dysfunctional way. (Although Megavolt is probably second to Mr. Banana Brain in Quackerjack's book.)
-The Fearsome Five briefly took over Saint Canard, and Quackerjack got to run an entire quadrant of the city. Chattering toy teeth ran the police force until Darkwing Duck and the Justice Ducks put an end to things.
-Quackerjack created a time-traveling top, which he first used to go back in time and stop the yo-yo from ever being invented. (A mission he took on because yo-yos were more popular than his toys.) In trying to stop Darkwing from stopping him, however, Quackerjack ultimately ended up helping to invent the toy himself. Later, Quackerjack used the 'Time Top' once again, the next time working with Megavolt. The two planned to travel to the future to get their hands on the toys and light bulbs of tomorrow, but accidentally created a miserable future for Saint Canard. The two briefly worked with the heroes in order to fix things.
-Quackerjack attempted to set up his own play-land, a place where kids would play with (and pay for!) his toys, while he reigned supreme. Needless to say, it didn’t last.
-Quackerjack's best friend, Mr. Banana Brain, was possessed by an evil spirit called Paddywhack. The jester teamed up with Darkwing Duck to vanquish the demon.
-Quackerjack and Megavolt teamed up once again, this time using a device called the 'Relax-a-Tron'. Disguising as doctors at a 'stress-free clinic', they put nearly every citizen of Saint Canard into a nearly-comatose state, making the place a free-for-all for the two criminals until, as usual, Darkwing stopped them.

Personality: Quackerjack's madness is, without a doubt, the largest factor in his personality. And yet, it is very hard to categorize him. Quackerjack is well aware that he's insane, which is not something truly insane people tend to do, at least, not in reality. And yet, he protests with genuine appall when people call his toys dangerous - even though he uses those same toys as weapons in battle. There's also Mr. Banana Brain: A Mr. Potato Head-esque doll with which Quackerjack carries on entire conversations. Of course, the 'voice' of Mr. Banana Brain is provided by Quackerjack (in falsetto tones). Generally speaking, Quackerjack doesn't seem aware that Mr. Banana Brain isn't alive. He also finds fun in rather odd things - for example, he found himself having the time of his life while he and the rest of the Fearsome Five were in prison. All in all, Quackerjack seems to - for whatever reason - have a loose grip on reality. His madness is half-real, half an act... But it's an act that's very important to him. An act that maybe he's gotten a little too into - Or perhaps an act he never really intended to put on, it just... Happened. But whatever the case, Quackerjack's desire to be insane is a bit of insanity in and of itself.
Now, as villains go, Quackerjack's an odd one, even by Saint Canard's standards. At first glance, that might not show - He'll commit a crime, Darkwing will come, Quackerjack will whine, and then the banter and fighting begins. Quackerjack genuinely loves to ‘win’ and hates to ‘lose’, and yet... It's all a game to him. At one point in the show, he explained that Darkwing spoiling his fun is just another part of that. A lot of his crimes involve his toys in one way or another – money for making them, getting stores to carry them, etc. - but with the rest, it's not about inflicting pain or causing fear - except with Whiffle Boy and sometimes Darkwing. It's just that he really gets a kick out of crime - and not even necessarily because it’s wrong. It just happens to be his favorite kind of game; his playtime.
Despite being a fun-and-games-themed villain, Quackerjack can be terribly pouty. He whines constantly - When he gets interrupted, when he’s beaten, when he's bored. He throws temper tantrums like a child, and he can be incredibly sarcastic. But on the other hand... He loves making things a game. He has himself and Megavolt dress up in costumes to make villainy more interesting - and then the two broke into a bowling alley to play a version of the game involving marmalade, a jack-hammer, and a pack of panthers. He's full of energy and psychotic laughter, and on the constant search for some fun.
And yet, Quackerjack is not entirely a child. He often speaks like an adult - not a normal adult, of course, but that's beside the poin. A lot of the time, his grown-up nature mixes with his childish one. He makes robbing some theatre-goers into a mini-Shakespearean production of his own. He can, at times, be a bit witty. Though he can be oblivious, he seems rather intelligent, and he has demonstrated a conniving mind. When he and Megavolt team up, he's the one coming up with the ideas and, more often than not, calling the shots. Not to mention, the toys that he makes serve as some very impressive weaponry, and were definitely not easy to make.
Other: Nothing comes to mind!

SPOILERS for the True Ending of Persona 4
Character Notes:
History:
► The series begins with Narukami's transfer to Inaba from a larger city; his parents' working situation led him to have to stay with his uncle Dojima and cousin Nanako.
► He meets and shakes the hand of a gas station attendant. This is important, I promise.
► Shortly after transferring into Yasogami High, he meets Yosuke Hanamura, Chie Satonaka, and Yukiko Amagi.
► Around the same time are the murders of an announcer named Mayumi Yamano and a girl named Saki Konishi, who Yosuke had a crush on. Both were found dead after having been seen on the Midnight Channel, a superstition that was believed to show you the face of your soulmate if you looked at a blank TV screen at (you guessed it) midnight.
► While seeing Saki in the screen shortly before her death, Narukami discovered his hand could pass through the TV screen; after narrowly avoiding being sucked in completely, he tells Yosuke and Chie about this highly irregular occurrence.
► Though the two are skeptical at first, a trip to Junes department store's electronics section and a big-screen TV quickly prove that yes, Narukami can apparently stick his hand into TV screens and yes, he can in fact go further than that. The three of them fall through the screen into another world.
► While searching for the exit, the group meets a pun-spouting bear named Teddie and are eventually confronted by Shadows, at which point Narukami obtains the Persona Izanagi to fight them before Teddie leads them to an exit.
► When next they explore the world behind the TV and whatever connections it has to Yamano's and Konishi's murders, it's discovered that Shadows manifest into the form of those within the world (with the strange exception of Narukami himself), taking on their hidden traits and desires. The first of these they encounter is Shadow Yosuke, who claims Yosuke was investigating Konishi's murder just because it was something entertaining to do in a quiet little country town.
► Shadow Yosuke was defeated and accepted as a part of Yosuke he would previously not admit to having; in doing so it transformed into the Persona Jiraya as well as earned Narukami the Magician Arcana from which he could eventually summon a new Persona, Pyro, Jack.
► As time went on, several more people entered the TV world, confronted their Shadows, and unlocked their Personas in a search to uncover the truth behind the murders as well as the Midnight Channel; Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi, Kanji Tatsumi, Rise Kujikawa, Teddie, and Naoto Shirogane. As Yu befriended new people each with their own Arcana, he became able to summon gradually tougher Personas, even fusing them into ones that were stronger still.
► Following the game, the series so far is up to episode 21; the person behind kidnapping and throwing Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, and Naoto into the TV world leaves a note in Narukami's mailbox telling him to stop saving people, revealing that he knows who is stopping whatever his plans might be. As this follows the game, it stands to reason that Nanako will be kidnapped and throwin in next, leading to a confrontation with the kidnapper and ultimately the decision on whether or not he deserves to be thrown through the TV himself for what he's done.
► It also stands to reason that the anime will eventually lead to the True Ending of the game, in which it is revealed that the 'culprit' Namatame was being unknowingly manipulated by the real murderer, a young detective named Tohru Adachi. The two of them as well as Narukami were given the power of Persona and the ability to use televisions as the gateway into the other world by the goddess Izanami, who manifested in disguise as a gas station attendant.
► Izanami gave the three of them this power as part of a game; Namatame representing emptiness, Adachi representing despair, and Narukami representing hope. Whichever emerged victorious in her eyes would be seen as humanity's prevailing quality, and since Adachi outmaneuvered the party until nearly the very end, Izanami decided to end what she saw as a world filled with despair.
► Narukami and the rest of the party, upon discovering the truth of the situation, enter the TV world once more in pursuit of Izanami and defeat her to save humanity, in doing so clearing the fog and Shadows from both worlds for a happy resolution.

Your application has been received-- we're taking some time to learn more about Touhou, because one of our main concerns about applications from that series is that so much is fanon that there is a lot of debate over which characters can be applied for in a game like ours. Please be patient!

Are you at least 15?: Y
Current Characters: Issei Ryudo, Naesala, Sealand, Sherry Birkin, Kanna, Rider, Shinji Matou, and V/V
Character: Nessiah
Fandom: Yggdra Union
Character Notes:
History: Once upon a time, there was a war in heaven of the gods against the demons called Ragnarok. This war was going badly for the gods until they created angels with some portion of their power, called Grim Angels. One Grim Angel, Aries, refused to fight. The punishment for his crime of disobedience was that he was stripped of his wings and his power, made immortal, wrapped in the Chains of Conviction, and sent him down to earth.
While on earth, he made a bargain with a group called the Yumel, that they would teach him to master the Power of Words (whatever that does, probably makes Tactics Cards or zombies or something else Nessiah does) in exchange for one of his eyes. He put his other eye into the hilt of the Gran Centurio, a sword that absorbs power from all of the conflict on earth. Then he gave it to Fantasinia's royal family and told them "Justice lies with the Holy Sword." This would not end well.
A very long time later, during which Nessiah has probably been stirring up trouble, Blaze Union happens. Nessiah, who has been acting as a prophet deep in the woods, is recruited into Gram Blaze, a group seeking to remake Bronquia for the better. Nessiah helps them strategically in many battles, even managing to recruit a fiercely loyal general on the other side to their cause through clever tactics.
Oh, and when they actually succeed at taking over the country, Nessiah casually suggests to Gulcasa, the leader, that they take over more countries to spread their justice. Gulcasa, in a weakened state of mind due to having just Genocided one of his soldiers (on Nessiah's suggestion, again), agrees immediately.
Three years pass.
Yggdra Union happens. Bronquia invades Fantasinia and kills the king and queen. Embellia loses the Transmigram it needs to survive and starts attacking humans based on the advice of a wandering magician. A magician gives the heads of the two opposing houses of Verlaine powerful Ankhs and lets them duke it out for each other's.
All of this is Nessiah's fault, of course. During his actual appearances in the game, he kills his own Bronquian unit that had been meant to finish off the Rebel Army, then kills himself.
Then he shows up later to tell them to hurry up and save their damn princess before she's killed. Did I mention that you can't kill Nessiah permanently unless he's on Ancardia?
At the end of the game, Ancardia rises from the sea. When the heroes naturally investigate, Nessiah brings back their dead friend as a zombie to fight them, and when they win, demands the Holy Sword from them (since it's his) so he can wage war against the gods. He seems a little surprised when they refuse. They fight, the heroes win, Nessiah is permanently killed.
Personality: Nessiah really hates the gods. I mean really. Practically everything he does is meant, in the long run, to create conflict that will power up the Holy Sword that he can use to break the Chains of Conviction and go after the gods. The fact that a whole lot of people need to die for this to work? Not a problem. Bringing back someone's dear friend as a zombie to fight them? Done it twice in the games, once in the canon timeline. He's willing to turn traitor on people he was supposed to be leading and willing to use innocent Undines' affections for him to get the gem that keeps her people alive.
Aside from being incredibly ruthless, he's somewhat irritating to talk to. He's very smug, tends to giggle, and always is very polite while still being that smug. He doesn't care about petty things like mortal danger, food, or most people.
Despite all that, he's got a lot of pain built up from the unjust nature of his punishment. (Even one of the people he brought back as a zombie feels bad for him.) And he does develop actual fondness for certain people - there's a fair amount of Ship Tease in Yggdra Unison, a noncanon side game, for Nessiah and Gulcasa. There may possibly still be some of that person who refused to fight so long ago in Nessiah, but he'll deny it to the end.
Other: As mentioned above, you can't kill Nessiah permanently except on Ancardia, which spends most of the series underneath the sea. He's also a very powerful magic user capable of summoning very powerful Astarte (technical term for undead warriors/zombies). Most of the time, he's limiting his power so that nobody's fallen angel alarms go off. I'm planning on taking him from before his introduction in Blaze Union.
Additional Links: I can't find the YU script and the BU script was translated by hand by a friend of mine who doesn't want it reposted. You can has character pages?
First Person (entry type): Hoh? This is quite an interesting book, and one I wasn't aware I had in my possession. If it's genuine, the magic used to operate it is something I've never seen before. Such things are becoming increasingly rare over the years.
...Well. It has been several weeks since I last had a visitor, so I should consider this a blessing. Boredom and I are well-acquainted, but I've never regarded it as a friend.
My name is Nessiah. At the moment, I am living in the heart of a forest, awaiting those who come to seek my council. I have a reputation as a prophet, you see.
Second app: Previous post about justice.
Third Person: Of all the times that Nessiah had been killed, and there were many, many times over the hundreds of years he'd been alive, few of them were ones he considered particularly noteworthy. Some of them came from an error in judgment, others from an anomaly he could not have predicted.
Of all the times that Nessiah had been killed, there were some that were simply embarrassing to think about. Like the time that he'd traded insults with a knight known for his bloodlust, who had his entire unit behind him. That had been stupid. Nessiah maintained that he was drunk at the time, despite not remembering imbibing any alcohol, and would never do something like that in his proper state of mind.
Nothing else he ever was killed for was quite that embarrassing, so maybe he was right.
Nessiah cleared his thoughts. He had a visitor approaching, trudging slowly through the woods, and would need to be his usual mysterious self.

Current Characters: Gellert Grindelwald, Draco Malfoy, 11-12, Cosmo Cosma, Candace Flynn
Character: Daffy Duck
Fandom: Looney Tunes
Character Notes:
History:
Daffy doesn't have a set canon history as he's a cartoon character that has evolved over many years in a variety of mostly gag cartoons (well over 100), each with their own short storylines. He has taken on many roles - anything from would-be heroics (which he often fails at in favour of others) or antagonising other characters such as Bugs Bunny. He's appeared in many parodies of movies or genres. Since I will be primarily be playing him from his heyday in the 1950's, examples of these include:
"Robin Hood Daffy" - in which he re-enacts the Robin Hood legend with Porky Pig as Friar Tuck, who shows him up even as Daffy tries to impress him.
"Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th century" - a sci-fi parody featuring Porky Pig as his sidekick and Marvin the Martian as an alien rival, both trying to discover and claim Planet X.
"Deduce You Say" - sending up detective tales with Daffy in the Sherlock Holmes role and Porky Pig as Dr. Watson (names changed), who is wiser than the alleged great duck detective.
"Drip Along Daffy" - A parody of westerns. Again Porky is 'comic-relief' (as Daffy terms his character) and saves the day despite Daffy's best efforts himself as the would-be new sheriff.
"Ali Baba Bunny" - Arabian Nights-related. Bugs Bunny and Daffy find a cave full of gold and a genie. Daffy shows his greedy side with his classic cries of: "Mine! Mine! Mine!"
"Rabbit Fire"/"Rabbit Seasoning" - Bugs and Daffy try to convince hunter Elmer Fudd that it is either Rabbit Season or Duck season, usually resulting in Daffy getting shot repeatedly.
"The Ducksters" - Playing game show host on a show that brutalises its contestants - until Daffy gets his comeuppance via Porky.
He was also the star of a classic fourth wall-type cartoon called "Duck Amuck" where he has to deal with his animator (revealed in a twist ending to be Bugs Bunny) who torments him by changing his looks, the backgrounds and the storylines while a frustrated Daffy tries to cope with the changes and explains in exasperation direct to camera that this is a cartoon.

Personality:
Daffy Duck has been quoted as saying: "I'm a greedy slob. It's my hobby."
Greedy and will turn on others in an instant, Daffy usually runs from danger. He's easily frustrated and quick to anger - sometimes very explosive anger. But it's mostly foiled in some way and he often ends up being the one injured. He's devious and can be very mean in both his words and actions, often accompanied by a sinister laugh.
He thinks he's the star. Daffy is almost always self serving and has a huge ego, often thinking he is right or the hero or the star of the show, when everyone from Bugs Bunny to Porky Pig upstage him regularly in various ways. This rarely gets him down though. He keeps on trying and thinking that he's the superior one.
Gold or adulation will make him starry-eyed. He craves these things but ends up disappointed. He has a rivalry with Bugs Bunny and mostly a sidekick relationship with Porky Pig (Porky being the calm sidekick). Said to be one of the first characters to put the 'looney' in Looney Tunes, Daffy is a very emotional duck and he can switch from freaking out to devious or snide to snooty in a second - whatever can gain him glory or some other personal gain.
He has taken on a variety of roles reflecting some of these traits, aside from cartoon shorts where he's basically playing himself. Often these are ineffectual versions and his sidekick is more knowing or saves the day instead of him. Examples are his versions of Robin Hood and Sherlock Holmes.
He can be strong as he has determination and a drive to succeed - or to take out the other guy. He can be quick with a snappy line and can get himself out of bad situations with a twisted conversation to confuse them. But his weakness is being overly greedy and prone to emotional outbursts. His frustration and general lack of actually getting anything right prove to be his usual downfall.
Other:
A cartoon character he will bounce back from what would kill or seriously injure most people. Also, he's a duck.
He has a noticable lisp but it tends to turn more into a sssth kind of sound so s's can still be heard on many occasions. I do not plan to write this lisp when he actually is writing things down but it will show up in action/voice/video posts when his speech becomes more extreme.

Daffy Duck has been quoted as saying: "I'm a greedy slob. It's my hobby."
Greedy and will turn on others in an instant, Daffy usually runs from danger. He's easily frustrated and quick to anger - sometimes very explosive anger. But it's mostly foiled in some way and he often ends up being the one injured. He's devious and can be very mean in both his words and actions, often accompanied by a sinister laugh.
He thinks he's the star. Daffy is almost always self serving and has a huge ego, often thinking he is right or the hero or the star of the show, when everyone from Bugs Bunny to Porky Pig upstage him regularly in various ways. This rarely gets him down though. He keeps on trying and thinking that he's the superior one.
Gold or adulation will make him starry-eyed. He craves these things but ends up disappointed. He has a rivalry with Bugs Bunny and mostly a sidekick relationship with Porky Pig (Porky being the calm sidekick). Said to be one of the first characters to put the 'looney' in Looney Tunes, Daffy is a very emotional duck and he can switch from freaking out to devious or snide to snooty in a second - whatever can gain him glory or some other personal gain.

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist, 2003 anime
Character Notes:
History:
When Ed was three years old, his dad, Hohenheim, left their family. From that point on, he and Al were raised solely by their mother. Still, Ed always seemed happy enough in Resembool. He had his family as well as the Rockbells, a very close family whom they often visited.
It was on Winry Rockbell’s birthday that they surprised everyone by their first use of alchemy. Though they had to work together and the transmutation was a simple doll, Ed was only six. Most kids don’t know what a chemical makeup is at six. Or that there is a chemical makeup. Things come from magic!
Winry was horrified but their mom was extremely proud of her two smart boys and begins to encourage them, even giving them access to their dad’s old notes. Though Ed really does love alchemy, he really begins to get into it after seeing how proud his mom is whenever they manage to do something new.
Ed first mentions knowing about human transmutation – a forbidden branch of alchemy – when Winry finds out her parents were killed while treating patients during the war. Apparently someone should have put those books up higher. Pinako smartly informs him to shut up. Not that that stops them later.
Two years later, when he’s 10, they come home to find him mom collapsed. Apparently she had been fighting an illness for a while and was finally succumbing to it. While she laid dying, Ed and Al send out letters to people who had written to Hohenheim, hoping someone could tell them where he was.
Their mom dies without him ever returning.
It’s at her funeral that Ed decides they were going to do it. They’re going to relearn alchemy and bring their mom back. First, they need to find a teacher.
Their chance came when Resembool had a rain heavy enough to nearly flood the river. While Ed and Al try and fail to help, a woman named Izumi shows up and transmutes a wall large enough to keep the water in, without a circle. They’ve found their teacher! They just have to convince her first so they don’t tell her the entire truth behind their reasoning.
In the end, she agreed to train them if they could pass their test and so, Ed and Al begin their month long stay on a deserted island without the use of alchemy. At ten years old, Ed learned the truth about the world (AND THE CIRRRCLE OF LIFE~) . One feeds another, that feeds another, and so on. The boys that couldn’t eat anything but fish and fruits when they arrived were killing and eating rabbits when they left.
With the test passed, their lessons began, as did the reason the boys still fear Izumi to this day.
With their training complete, they return to Resembool and get to work. Without even letting the Rockbells know they’re back, they get their materials ready and begin the transmutation, using their blood as material for her soul.
I don’t think I spoil anything by saying it doesn’t work. Al’s entire body is taken and Ed loses his left leg. Even though he was only eleven, he was able to keep up enough calm to crawl to a piece of armor and use his arm, though he offers everything, to bind Al’s soul inside. The newly returned Al rushes him over to Winry and Pinako.
This is the part where Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang finally comes in. One of the letters had finally managed to make its way to him and he had come in hopes of finding Hohenheim. Instead, he finds a suit of armor and a seemingly unconscious boy with only half his limbs. Still, he knows what they tried to do and was impressed that they managed to come out alive and leaves his name, along with an invitation to come to Central and take a State Alchemist exam.
Ed then has a new plan! They’ll become State Alchemist and use their resources to find the Philosopher Stone, a stone which allows alchemists to ignore the main rule. They’d no longer have to give up something of equal value to gain something else. Instead, they would be able to get their own bodies back without additional cost.
All of that’s kind of hard to do while missing half his limbs so he decides to get an automail arm and leg. Even though the operation is painful, he knows it’s nothing compared to what Al must be feeling.
His recovery and adjustment is where I’ll be taking him from.
Personality:
Stubborn, kind, selfish, a hero…Ed is a lot of things and is one of the most diverse personalities that I know of.
The main aspect of his character, and a play on his State Alchemist name, is his stubborn nature. It shows largely in his dedicated to finding the stone but is also present in little moments, such as his continued refusal to drink milk. If Ed doesn’t want to, he really doesn’t want to and will fight until it’s over. Then he’ll complain about it happening.
Being a protagonist, he’s also very outgoing. If he wants something changed, he’ll work on changing it rather than just complaining. Whether it’s by reading until he has the knowledge, trying until he knows why it failed, talking to whomever has the influence to do something, or forcing the change himself, he’s a resourceful boy, smart enough to utilize all of his resources.
And yet he always ends up in trouble. As befitting of a shounen hero, he has a sizeable guilt complex. The downside to being your own boss, whom he really considers himself to be, is that one must also take responsibility for your actions. Over the course of the series, while Ed doesn’t initially kill, there is a lot of blood spilled due to being involved with him. Those lost while he knew them will always stay with him and if there was a lesson to be learned by their death, he’ll remember and apply it.
While most extremely good fighters are strong, few are also shown to be smart. Ed is the best of both worlds. His martial arts are highly effective, his small stature lends itself well to speed, and he’s an alchemist genius. While the clapping is something given to him by the gate, the fact that he was able to do that transmutation so young and the rate at which he learns and adapts is amazing.
One of the conflicts in his personality is his selfishness…and his selflessness. In day to day life, what Ed wants is very important to Ed. Whether it’s stopping at a tourist attraction city before reporting to work as he’s supposed to or simply cheating at a card game he wasn’t really interested in, he’s not always putting others’ feelings first but if your life is in danger, he’ll be the first to jump into the fray. One of the hardest decisions he had to make was rather or not to kill a group of prisoners to save Al’s life. Since life isn’t something an alchemist can give back, Ed couldn’t do it, sentencing himself to the guilt of having been an instrument in his brother’s death and possibly his own.
Another is his maturity and his immaturity. He’ll yell and fight, argue, mope, yell that he hates his brother who is forcing him into getting a shot, and stick out his tongue to tease enemies. He’s still very much a teenager, or child, in these times, displaying his real age. It’s only when it comes to inner strength that his maturity shows through. He kept his calm while bleeding out to save his brother’s soul, he takes responsibility for what he did when he was only ten and works to give Al’s body back. Though it took another lesson, he realizes how many things are beyond even his power but continues to push on anyway.
Opinions are also very important to him. His own, anyway. If he has a thought, he’ll say it, whether or not someone wants to listen. While some may push this aside as being socially ignorant, it’s really that he knows how he should act and doesn’t care. He doesn’t believe in gods so while he doesn’t outright attack those who do, why should he listen and pretend he does?
Other:
While Ed is extremely smart, his language doesn’t always reflect that. He uses slang and sometimes curses and his speech style is over all rough.
Ed is taken completely from the Japanese subs. I’m not sure how familiar the mods are with FMA or if they’re more familiar with the dubs or subs but I just wanted to point out that in the original versions, pretty much every character is more subtle. Not that that makes Ed subtle at all, just MORE subtle.
Besides that, I used the Fullmetal Alchemist Complete Book Story Side for a lot of dates, including the age Ed was when Hohenheim left.

First Person (entry type):
Fullmetal Alchemist. It fits. I can’t keep wavering, I can’t stop now, not until we’ve regained what we lost…not until Al gets his body back. If that means working for them, I’ll do it so I can keep looking.
…But I won’t become just another dog, I won’t become like the people that covered up Nina’s death. If that bastard thinks that’s why I came back, he’s even dumber than he looks.
Alchemy is the science of Equivalent Exchange. I’ll work for them and I’ll let their resources work for me but they’re not giving me a soul back, I’m not giving them mine.
Third Person:
The ladder was made for books out of his reach but Al was usually present to save him the trouble, so having to drag it to the section he wanted wasn’t something Ed was used to. Or happy about. His grumbles carried from his starting point to finish. This was stupid.
“If they just made the library for normal sized people instead of giants, people could actually use it without having to drag a ladder around.”
The ladder was set in place, the hardest part done. Still, the fact he was going to have to use it to reach what wasn’t even half way made him scowl up at the tomes and his shoulders slump.
A hand on the rung and he was climbing, his legs scurrying quickly upward before anyone saw. All he needed was to have his studies interrupted because somebody found something funny about the situation.
After all, HE WASN’T SHORT!

History:
The Back to the Future movies and game, deal with the science fiction idea of time travel.
Doc Brown mentions that he invents his time machine because, "The intent here is to gain a clearer perception of humanity where we've been, where we're going, the pitfalls, the possiblities, the perils and the promise. Prehaps even an answer to that universal question - Why?"
Which is very similar to the unnamed time traveler in H. G. Wells, The Time Machine. In wanting to know the destiny of mankind and maybe fix that. However, Back to the Future is rather complex as actual physicist perceive time travel.
Dr. Emmett Brown invents the flux capacitor. A device that uses electricity to travel though time. Which by Albert Einstein, if you want to actually in theory travel though time, you need to use energy. Not that 1. 21 gigawatts (Plutonium or a bolt of lightning) would actually work in theory as in Back to the Future movies and game but its close enough.
Dr. Brown comes up with the idea for the flux capacitor on November 5th, 1955. He was standing on his bathroom toilet trying to hang his clock, the toilet was wet, so he slipped and hit his head on the sink and when he came to his senses had a vision of the flux capacitor, in what makes the time travel possible in Back to the Future.
A major theory that is constant thought out the movies and game is the Grandfather paradox.
Basically, the theory that if time travel was actually possible and say you went back in time and killed your grandfather, you'd crease to exist, aka the 'ripple effect'. As this theory creates a ripple in the stream of time. Like when you toss a rock into a still river.
Time, by many theories and the Back to the Future movies and game is viewed as these rivers. Expect, rather than psychical ripples you see in the rock tossed in the still river, the river of time branches off to an alternate version of that river.
Have a niffy timeline chart of the movies/games.
In Back to the Future 2, Dr. Brown draws Marty this river of time.
The undistributed timeline (without Marty interference) begins in 1908. When the 'Von Braun' family comes to America. Quickly changing their last name to 'Brown' because of the First World War.
Later in, 1931, Emmett Lathrop Brown, was not the scientist
he ends up to be. Actually, he was a clerk working for his father, Judge Brown. Who disapproves highly of his son's Emmett's so called ambition to be a scientist. For one, Emmett was and continues to be wishy washy. However all those science fiction novels of the day, Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, inspires his imagination. Not to mention what Judge Brown wants Emmett to follow his footsteps, of law. That Emmett disliked with a flaming passion and late at night did scientific experiments in the family's garage. These include,
*Rocket Power Jetpack
*Rocket Power Car
Despite Emmett's after hours working, he remains fearful of his father Judge Brown.
Emmett never completes a full scale working model of the rocket power jetpack because that runs on moonshine, which is outlawed.
At one point, Emmett becomes distress with his rocket power car, the idea behind that was, to make traffic jams a thing of the past.
However, during the viewing of the movie Frankenstein, his mind is reanimated and he figures a solution to his problem, which is static electricity.
It wasn't until the Hill Valley Science Expo, in October of 1931, that Emmett went public with his invention and needless to say, the flying car of the future was a failure. However, also a success. Emmett got himself a name in the scientific community and Emmett and his father, had a bitter relationship until the end.
November 5th, 1955, see above pargraph about the flux capacitor.
October 26th, 1985, Dr.Brown modifies a Delorean into a fully functional time machine, on October 26th, 1985 at 1:16 am.
After successfully performing a one minute time travel with Einstien the dog, Doc Brown is killed by the group of Libyan terrorists he stole the plutonium from.
However, this is only the beginnning...
Back to the Future I
Back to the Future II
Back to the Future III
Among the fandom, the fact the game and movie being one in the same is debatable. However, if you watch the beginning of the game that takes place in the beginning of the first Back to the Future movie, when Doc is showing Marty the Delorean for the first time and then disappears. That takes the game in another direction then said movie but that's because the game is after the movies, as you do see the picture from 1885 in Marty's room in the game from Back to the Future 3 movie. Due to the fact, Doc went back into the past in 1931 and got himself killed by mistake, as you later find out and therefore, that's why he's disappearing at the beginning of the game that starts like the movie. Considering, the movies in themselves act on that same principle.

It wasn't until the Hill Valley Science Expo, in October of 1931, that Emmett went public with his invention and needless to say, the flying car of the future was a failure. However, also a success. Emmett got himself a name in the scientific community and Emmett and his father, had a bitter relationship until the end.
November 5th, 1955, see above pargraph about the flux capacitor.
October 26th, 1985, Dr.Brown modifies a Delorean into a fully functional time machine, on October 26th, 1985 at 1:16 am.
After successfully performing a one minute time travel with Einstien the dog, Doc Brown is killed by the group of Libyan terrorists he stole the plutonium from.
However, this is only the beginnning...
Back to the Future I
Back to the Future II
Back to the Future III
Among the fandom, the fact the game and movie being one in the same is debatable. However, if you watch the beginning of the game that takes place in the beginning of the first Back to the Future movie, when Doc is showing Marty the Delorean for the first time and then disappears. That takes the game in another direction then said movie but that's because the game is after the movies, as you do see the picture from 1885 in Marty's room in the game from Back to the Future 3 movie. Due to the fact, Doc went back into the past in 1931 and got himself killed by mistake, as you later find out and therefore, that's why he's disappearing at the beginning of the game that starts like the movie. Considering, the movies in themselves act on that same principle.

Current Characters: Minato Arisato, Santana Lopez
Character: KatieFucking Fitch
Fandom: Skins
Character Notes:
History:
Katie is one half of an identical twin-set. She was born only 6 minutes ahead of her sister Emily but that had an enormous impact on their sibling hierarchy growing up, right down to determining the ages at which they stop playing with "childish" things like dolls and stop speaking their secret twin language. They also have a younger brother named James, who is a bit of a peeping tom and all-around lecher, even going so far as to spy on them through their bedroom keyhole. Their father, Rob, is a fitness guru who owns "Fitch Fitness" gym but he runs into financial troubles that eventually bankrupt their family and cause their home to be foreclosed on, forcing them all to move in with Emily's girlfriend Naomi Campbell for a time. Jenna, their mother, is a bit on the controlling side and is well-suited in her job as both a stylist and a wedding planner. She always plainly favored Katie over Emily, and the divide between mother and younger daughter was only further drawn when Emily came out as a lesbian.
Accepting Emily's gayness was also difficult for Katie, who always operated under the attitude that because they were twins there was no possible way that her sister could be a lesbian. Particularly Katie had a strong dislike for Naomi since middle school, when she happened across her and Emily making out at a party. She always assumed it was Naomi that had kissed Emily first, a fact that Emily conveniently never bothered to correct, although it was really the exact opposite that happened.
Katie is exceptionally proud of her own heterosexuality and the fact that she has never not had a boyfriend since age 7. Indeed, she starts off the 3rd season in a rather shallow relationship with an older footballer named Danny and latches onto Freddie McClair not long after they break up. It could be said that her primary motivation for pursuing Freddie is her desire to get back at the enigmatic Effy Stonem for spurning her attempts at friendship, although she does obviously like Freddie and ends up quite genuinely smitten with him. Indeed she is increasingly hurt and disappointed by Freddie's lingering love for and fascination with Effy. This all culminates when their entire group of friends goes on a camping trip to Gobbler's End and gets high on shrooms out in the woods. Effy experiences a bad trip which Katie takes advantage of by verbally and physically attacking her. Effy retaliates by bashing a rock over her head, knocking her out, and leaving her there all night while she seduces Freddie. It takes a long time for Katie's whereabouts to be discovered because Effy lies about what happened. Eventually however she is rushed to the hospital and receives medical treatment. Everyone turns against Effy for what she did, especially as Katie has conveniently left out the fact that she was actually physically on top of Effy attacking her when it happened.
For a long while after though, Katie is but a shadow of her former self. She's too ashamed to be seen in her bruised and beat up condition and refuses to leave the house. Emily even has to dress up like her, makeup bruises and all, to go sit an exam that she'll otherwise miss and fail. Eventually she does emerge in time for their high school dance, the Love Ball. Freddie is filled with guilt over what happened at Gobbler's End and plays the doting date to Katie while Katie forces their autistic friend J.J. to take Emily in order to keep her away from Naomi. The twins end up physically brawling when Naomi shows up despite being forbidden to by Katie, and Katie is finally forced to accept her sister's gayness and love for Naomi.
In the fourth season, Katie appears to have moved on from Freddie and ends up dating another older guy named Sam. Sam is a considerable improvement from Danny but when Katie suffers a pregnancy scare only to find out she's actually infertile, Katie swiftly dispatches of him once he proves to be unsympathetic about her infertility and only shows to be relieved about not actually getting her pregnant.
It's at this point that the family's financial problems occur and Katie's mother switches occupations and becomes a wedding planner. Katie works as her assistant but unfortunately their first client and her mother turn out to be horrendously snobby and unbearable. Still she soldiers on to create the perfect hen night out because her mother is really relying on her to ace this job but she shows up at the venue only to find out that there's been some huge modifications done by the bride-to-be's best friend (who also happens to be Danny's new girlfriend). Things continue to go downhill when Katie runs into Effy and Freddie at the very same place and at last, unable to put up with the rudeness of her client and her exceptionally bitchy friend for any longer, she opts for losing her job in style by punching out Danny's new girl right in the middle of the dance floor.
Unfortunately as well, her sister and Naomi are experiencing "trouble in paradise" after Naomi cheated on her with a girl named Sophia Moore that she met at a University open-day. Emily doesn't find out about Naomi's indiscretion until later after Sophia overdoses on MDMA and kills herself by jumping off a balcony at a crowded party. As it turns out Sophia was a bit of a stalker who was incredibly in love with Naomi, who didn't really return her feelings. The only reason Naomi cheated at all was because she felt trapped and enslaved by the immense love she felt for Emily. But although Naomi convinces Emily not to move out, Emily becomes frigid towards her and begins treating everyone around her quite terribly. She even blatantly flirts with and kisses other girls in front of Naomi as well as sneaking around with them behind her back. Katie is disgusted by her sister's behavior and ends up slapping her good at an outdoor BBQ party at Naomi's house.
She later has a run-in with her friend Thomas when he gets accidentally locked into the bathroom with her while she was trying to take a bath. They end up bonding as Thomas consoles her about her premature menopause and infertility and the two even share a kiss although nothing comes from it as Thomas is still painfully in love with their mutual friend/his ex-girlfriend Pandora. One of her last accomplishments in the series is intentionally helping to make Pandora jealous of Thomas' affections while simultaneously improving her French language skills with him.
Personality:
Katie's character is immensely complicated. She appears one-dimensional in the beginning, only interested in boys, fashion, and one-upping her twin. Despite wanting to assert her independence from Emily she is actually quite controlling of her, treating her (as Effy calls it) like a "doormat." She is in fact only 6 minutes older than Emily, but it might as well be 6 years from the way Katie behaves. Although she wants to differentiate herself from her twin, she still cannot accept for the longest time that Emily doesn't want the same things from life that she does. Emily is gay for starters and this is a major point of contention between them. Although in time Katie comes across as less homophobic and more simply unaccepting of Emily's choice of girlfriends. Because as it turns out Katie is the kind of girl who will toss out what are seemingly insults like "bitch" and "lezza" practically in the same sentence as she says "I love you."
Growing up as the apple of her mother's eye certainly helped to embolden Katie and nurture some of her best and worst characteristics. On the one hand she's outwardly tough and strong and clearly unafraid to speak what's on her mind. On the other hand, being given such free reign and being regularly spoiled is also what has made Katie so self-centered and hard to deal with. Jenna herself can be quite underhanded and manipulative, as seen in how she both tries to scare Naomi away from Emily and bribe Emily to stop seeing Naomi. Having spent so much time around Jenna growing up, it is obvious who Katie learned a good deal of her scheming from. This is further evidenced by how much more like their father Emily is.
Katie's first real instance of change is after she finds out that she is infertile. Although like most girls her age she was obviously hoping that she did not wind up pregnant from her boyfriend, the fact that she will never be able to have children actually comes as quite a shock to her. She is visibly distraught by the idea and she proves to be quite vulnerable in her dealings with it. She feels let down by her family who are too involved in their own petty arguments to pay her suffering the attention it deserves. She is eventually able to confront Jenna about this however, and they do reconcile in a very genuine, touching mother-daughter comforting scene.
It's also clear how distraught Katie is by her perception of Emily pulling away from her. When Emily first moves out to go live with Naomi, Katie is hurt. She also does not take well to Emily's personality change after Naomi's cheating episode is uncovered. The girl who was once selfishness incarnate has by now actually learned to take a step back and see how individual actions can hurt other people.
She eventually learns to get over her own jealousy and grudges as well, finally finding some common ground with Effy and befriending her in her own weird way. She even shows a surprising mothering instinct towards the other girl when Effy starts suffering from her psychosis and needs her help.
Katie's enduring love for Freddie is also clearly differentiated by the end of the series from her previous, more juvenile flings. Although Freddie clearly wronged her, she doesn't drop him like she did Sam. She continues to be involved in his life and caring towards him and is clearly distraught by his untimely death. In addition, she demonstrates actual concern over the situation between Thomas and Pandora and rather selflessly tries to help him despite the hint of a crush on him herself.
So in summary, Katie goes from being a girl with no real ambition and who only lives for tomorrow, a shallow caricature of teen pop-royalty who shamelessly takes advantage of others for her own gain, to someone who proves to be deeply caring of those she considers to be friends not to mention frightfully loyal and even at times self-sacrificing. Her wicked, fiery tongue is never quite tempered but she learns to wield her attitude more with a purpose and stops lashing out at others with assumed impunity. She is not a feeling-less WAG but someone whose pride has always been used to mask her vulnerabilities and feelings of inadequacy.

First Person (entry type):
So my boyfriend Danny is well lush, yeah? Fit calves, tight bum, the whole nine yards, really. But fuck me right sideways if he doesn't have the attention span of a total mong sometimes. Normally I don't care so much when he's busy off ogling my tits because let's face it they are proper mint. But can you actually believe I was trying to have a real conversation for once and all that bastard could do was grunt and nod like a neanderthal. I told him to fuck right off and all he could come back with was "yes, dear!" with the most vapid kind of shit-eating grin I've ever seen on a man. I know he didn't hear a damn word I said. So I've gone and blocked his number for the night, let's see if he can take his head out of his arse long enough to figure out why. And if that dicksplash thinks he's getting sex again before he comes full-on groveling then he's got another thing coming.
Third Person:
A flash of movement catches her eyes through the mirror she stands preening before. Katie pauses suddenly, tweezers still in hand. "What the fuck do you think you're doing, worm?" Her shout reverberates unrepentantly through the whole upstairs; it's late morning and their parents have both already run off to their respective jobs, leaving her with the undesirable task of watching over her wanker of a younger brother while dearest Emily claims to be laid up sick in bed . James is due to be picked up any minute now by that loathsome Gordon McPherson boy and his whacker mum, thank bloody fuck, but apparently even the threat of missing breakfast hasn't dissuaded him from trying to sneak a peek.
Clutching her royal blue towel closer to her chest, as if that would even do any good at this point, she stomps out of the bathroom just in time to hear James' feet clear the bottom stairs and carry him skittering into the kitchen. "Pervy little shit!" she howls over the balustrade after him. "You better stay down there this time or else, yeah?"

Current Characters: Rose Lalonde
Character: Erika Karisawa
Fandom: Durarara!! (anime timeline, though supplemented by background information from the novels)
Character Notes:
History: Erika grew up in Ikebukuro. Little is known about her background except that she likely met her eventual best friend Walker Yumasaki at a very young age. Her passion for manga and anime is also likely something that started early and there are hints that her background had a dark side to it, although what nature this took is unclear. But the major defining moment for Erika, the one which would go on to shape her future, was when she joined the Blue Squares gang and met Kyohei Kadota, the person she credits for “saving [her] from the darkness”.
The Blue Squares were one of the prominent colour gangs in Ikebukuro, whose main rivals were the Yellow Scarves. Erika, as with the rest of Kadota's group, was more than happy to be a part of this gang until the Blue Squares (provoked by Izaya Orihara) kidnapped and tortured the then-girlfriend of Yellow Scarves leader Masaomi Kida. When Kadota defected from the gang, Erika, Walker and Saburo Togusa all left with him and they became their own little group - but not before Walker torched the van that the lead group of the Blue Squares were in.
Not long afterwards, Erika ended up joining the mysterious, "colourless" group Dollars. Kadota had been sent a URL and a password to a site which would allow him to join the gang; naturally once he had joined, Erika, Walker and Saburo all followed. In particular, the group seemed drawn to an idea put forward by the Dollars' mystery founder (later revealed to be newcomer to the city Mikado Ryuugamine) that suggested that the Dollars should work as a force for good within the city, to counter the rumours spreading that they were behind recent troubles. Of course, these being former Blue Squares members, their idea of "doing good" toed into interesting territory at times - what we're shown in canon implies that they chase down those doing wrong, for example those attempting to kidnap people for Yagiri Pharmaceuticals, and torture them into revealing more information. This is specifically Erika and Walker's domain, and they tend to take inspiration from anime and manga when it comes to their torture methods. Given that Kadota at one point tells them "no gasoline in the van like last time", it's apparent that they don't do these things by half measures.
Erika's introduction in the series occurs in the first episode, where Masaomi and Mikado run into her and the rest of her group during the latter's first tour of the city. She's impressed by Mikado's male-lead-esque name and she, with Walker, note that they have just been buying manga - revealing their habit of buying three copies of each manga they get (one each, the third presumably as part of their "torture kit"). As they leave, Masaomi notes to Mikado that Erika and the others are good people, so long as you're nice to them.
The two later run into Erika and the others and Mikado asks them about the Dollars, to which Erika's flippant response is that they are "Pipiru piru tenshi". It's only later that it's revealed that she and the rest of the van gang are members of the Dollars, when they set out to rescue Kazutano, an illegal immigrant who nevertheless became important to Saburo in particular due to his ability to procure otherwise unavailable tickets to his favourite idol's shows. When he's kidnapped, the group go all out to get him back, eventually learning of the connection with Yagiri Pharmaceuticals.
Erika's next appearance is a brief one, but reflects clearly her relationship with Walker - whether romantic partners or just very close friends, being unable to find each other is cause for genuine concern and outright panic. Of course, this being Ikebukuro that's perhaps not all too surprising, but it still reflects the bond between the two, something over and above their ties to Kadota and Saburo.
Some weeks later, all four become involved in uncovering the true nature of what Yagiri Pharmaceuticals is capable of. They catch sight of a cleaning van which is a known cover for the Yagiri company's men and decide to follow, eventually stepping in to rescue Mika Harima, who had taken refuge with Mikado after being chased by the legendary Black Biker (long story short: Celty, the black biker who has no head, believed Mika to be her head attached to a body; in fact, Mika was given plastic surgery to look like Celty's head, complete with neck scarring). Aware that Yagiri's men were after something in Mikado's apartment, Erika and the others slipped in before they could and took Mika to safety, eventually playing a key role in Celty being able to see her. As a result of this, the van gang are poised in perfect position when Mikado sends out a mass message to the Dollars, revealing just how many of the city's faceless residents are members of this gang with no rules and no colour.
Six months later, new troubles begin to stir in Ikebukuro. The Yellow Scarves are rumoured to be reforming and a new threat known as the Slasher is causing an increased number of incidents. Erika and the others end up involved when a reporter is cut by and thus becomes possessed by the being known as Saika, the sentient weapon believed to be the true identity of the Slasher. They intervene just as he is attempting to hunt down Anri Sonihara, aided by Celty and Shizuo. Erika and the others are left to deal with the subdued reporter as Celty decides to take Anri home and Shizuo decides to go beat up Izaya on the off-chance he's behind it all - which gives the audience the first real indication that Erika ships Izaya and Shizuo romantically, much to the disgust of everyone else around her.
As the rivalries between gangs heat up, Erika and the rest of the group confront Masaomi about his leadership of the Yellow Scarves and how things are spiralling out of control. Erika in particular notes that Masaomi is allowing the past to still have a hold over him rather than working to rewrite the parts that went wrong. The confrontation culminates in Masaomi declaring war on the leader of the Dollars and Kadota pointing him in the direction of the person most likely to know: Izaya Orihara.
In the meantime, Horada - a Yellow Scarves member who actually joined after the Blue Squares disbanded, ultimately with the intention of taking over from the inside - has been goading the other Yellow Scarves into being more proactive, in direct contradiction to Masaomi's instructions not to deliberately hunt down Dollars members (in part due to his knowledge that Mikado is the leader). After Horada tries to capture Anri, Mikado sets the Dollars - many of whom were quitting or on the verge of same after being instructed to do nothing in the face of the Yellow Scarves' attacks - the task of ensuring she comes to no harm; while Erika and the others play no direct part in the ensuing chain of events, it's clear that they are keeping a close eye on Anri and are likely at least partially responsible for the occasional updates on her location. They are also upset when they discover that the Dollars website has become inaccessible, after Mikado shuts the operation down.
Following this, with Mikado, Masaomi and Anri starting to become aware of each other's secret alliances and with Masaomi facing a mutiny from his former gang, Kadota arranges for himself, Saburo and some of their friends to infiltrate the gang so that when Horada shows his hand, Masaomi isn't alone; Erika, however, is deemed to stand out too much and she, along with Walker, are left to wait outside in the van while the action happens. With Horada and his allies finally apprehended, things in the city return to a form of normal, although it's not entirely clear whether that includes Dollars membership or not.
Personality: The first think one is likely to notice about Erika is that she is a huge otaku. She is obsessed with anime and manga, dropping in references wherever she can and often engaging in discussions with Walker that are unintelligible to pretty much everyone else. She is also a fujoshi, obsessed with Boys Love and with slash goggles firmly affixed. This doesn't just apply to those in fiction either; she is convinced that the ongoing hatred and fighting between Izaya and Shizuo is a sign of their love for one another and has gone so far as to write fiction involving her best friend Walker and their group's leader Kadota, with or without her involvement. She also is said to enjoy cosplay.
Erika is hugely enthusiastic about anything and everything she does, which can sometimes result in her sillier nature coming out. She enjoys nicknames and in particular seems to enjoy referring to Kadota as Dotachin even as he repeatedly tells her not to call him that. (Whether there is a relevance to her using a nickname that Izaya came up with is unclear; however she also calls Shizuo Shizu-chan which Izaya also uses) She is also a very intense person, particularly when it comes to her passions. This can take a darker bent, however; she and Walker are often left to physically and/or mentally torture troublemakers from whom they want information with their torture methods being lifted from anime and manga. Which isn’t to say that manga is to blame - Erika enjoys the prospect of making those who have wronged suffer and considers it an insult to true manga fans to infer that anyone could allow any form of fictional media to be held responsible for the actions of those who partake of it.
Beneath the fangirling and the occasional sociopathic moment, however, Erika does have a deeper side. She firmly believes that the only divide between fiction and reality is what they choose to believe; that reality can be rewritten to sever the ties to a past full of less than positive memories. This is shown in both her penchant for shipping real people with each other (including writing fiction about them) and her tendency to apply anime or manga references to what’s happening in the real world. Additionally she is incredibly loyal - she has been best friends with Walker for as long as she can remember and when they joined Kadota's group, she and Walker both ended up becoming loyal to him to the point that when he quit the Blue Squares gang, they quit right along with him. Hurt someone she cares about and Erika won't think twice about plotting revenge which, given how her mind works, isn’t likely to be something anyone would want. As Masaomi notes in an early episode she, along with Walker, is the kind of person who is nice so long as people are nice to her but who you wouldn’t really want to end up on the wrong side of.
Other: Erika is something of a fourth wall nightmare, even for her own series. For example, in an episode narrated by Kadota, she and Walker ask at one point who he's talking to.

First Person (entry type): I tried to show Walker the new story I wrote where he becomes Dotachin's willing love slave but for some reason he didn't seem all that enthusiastic. I don't know why - I even put in some scenes with Shinra and Celty, and I tried really hard to make sure that the totally obvious subtext in the fight between Izayan and Shizu-chan was kept off the page.
I mean, I think I did. And even if I didn't, that scene only took up, like, two pages so I'm not sure what he's getting so worked up about. Unless he's just upset that it's two pages where he doesn't get to be the star...he can be so funny about that sometimes. Like he has any right to be picky after some of the things he's written about me. Still, maybe I should give it another look-over before I let Dotachin see it...
Third Person: "Did I mention yet how much I love this place?"
It was something Erika said every time she walked into the Animate store and something she meant no less for having done so. For as long as she could remember, anime and manga had been something she clung to, something that allowed her to escape the darkness of her own world through the bright colours and loud battles presented in these worlds of fiction. It was something she allowed to consume her, to shape her thoughts and actions so that she swore she could see that wavering line between fantasy and reality. How very like each other they were, for all they were regarded as two separate entities.
Of course, it helped that she wasn't alone in these thoughts. In Walker she had someone who understood her when no-one else could, who could make sense of and match the references she made, no matter how obscure. Someone who would share in her excitement when new volumes hit shelves and who didn't consider her entirely weird for thinking that if fiction used reality as a starting point, why couldn't they write reality to their own vision? Both in the literal sense - neither of them took any shame in the fact that most of the fiction they wrote was about each other, or about other notable Ikebukuro figures - and in a more figurative sense. She had gone from nothing to being a Blue Square to defecting and joining the Dollars, admittedly under guidance from another but no less by her own will for that being so. After all, it was she who chose to trust in Kadota, who chose to place her loyalty in him above any colour gang.
And it was she, along with Walker, who would be shopping for new inspiration so that they could continue their war on the Manhunters and on anyone else seeking to disrupt the relative peace that had fallen upon the city ever since the demise of the Yellow Scarves and the Blue Squares.

Character: Erika Karisawa
Fandom: Durarara!! (anime timeline, though supplemented by background information from the novels)
Character Notes:
History: Erika grew up in Ikebukuro. Little is known about her background except that she likely met her eventual best friend Walker Yumasaki at a very young age. Her passion for manga and anime is also likely something that started early and there are hints that her background had a dark side to it, although what nature this took is unclear. But the major defining moment for Erika, the one which would go on to shape her future, was when she joined the Blue Squares gang and met Kyohei Kadota, the person she credits for “saving [her] from the darkness”.
The Blue Squares were one of the prominent colour gangs in Ikebukuro, whose main rivals were the Yellow Scarves. Erika, as with the rest of Kadota's group, was more than happy to be a part of this gang until the Blue Squares (provoked by Izaya Orihara) kidnapped and tortured the then-girlfriend of Yellow Scarves leader Masaomi Kida. When Kadota defected from the gang, Erika, Walker and Saburo Togusa all left with him and they became their own little group - but not before Walker torched the van that the lead group of the Blue Squares were in.
Not long afterwards, Erika ended up joining the mysterious, "colourless" group Dollars. Kadota had been sent a URL and a password to a site which would allow him to join the gang; naturally once he had joined, Erika, Walker and Saburo all followed. In particular, the group seemed drawn to an idea put forward by the Dollars' mystery founder (later revealed to be newcomer to the city Mikado Ryuugamine) that suggested that the Dollars should work as a force for good within the city, to counter the rumours spreading that they were behind recent troubles. Of course, these being former Blue Squares members, their idea of "doing good" toed into interesting territory at times - what we're shown in canon implies that they chase down those doing wrong, for example those attempting to kidnap people for Yagiri Pharmaceuticals, and torture them into revealing more information. This is specifically Erika and Walker's domain, and they tend to take inspiration from anime and manga when it comes to their torture methods. Given that Kadota at one point tells them "no gasoline in the van like last time", it's apparent that they don't do these things by half measures.

She's impressed by Mikado's male-lead-esque name and she, with Walker, note that they have just been buying manga - revealing their habit of buying three copies of each manga they get (one each, the third presumably as part of their "torture kit"). As they leave, Masaomi notes to Mikado that Erika and the others are good people, so long as you're nice to them.
The two later run into Erika and the others and Mikado asks them about the Dollars, to which Erika's flippant response is that they are "Pipiru piru tenshi". It's only later that it's revealed that she and the rest of the van gang are members of the Dollars, when they set out to rescue Kazutano, an illegal immigrant who nevertheless became important to Saburo in particular due to his ability to procure otherwise unavailable tickets to his favourite idol's shows.

Current Characters: N/A
Character: Justin Hammer
Fandom: Iron Man 2 Movie Canon, tied in with Movie Novelization Canon.
Character Notes:
History: Justin Hammer is the 36 year old CEO of Hammer Industries, and the DOD's current primary weapons contractor, a position he took on after Stark and Stark Industries stopped producing weapons after Tony Stark's return from Afghanistan.
Born and raised in Queens, New York, he had a relatively normal childhood and teenage years with nothing of great impact happening. After high school he went on to college, attending Dartmouth and getting his MBA at Tuck. After that he started working on his life’s dream, that being Hammer Industries.
Hammer Industries has been Justin Hammer's life's work, as it can easily be called, because unlike Stark he has built the company from the ground up. This also plays a role in the jealousy (to be later mentioned) he feels towards Stark, since he feels as though Tony was handed everything wrapped up in a pretty box with a bow. He is, however, far more of a businessman than he is an engineer, and therefore he relies on hiring the best engineers he can to do the dirty work. Naturally everything gets overseen by him, and approved or rejected, but as it is things in theory don’t often work out the same way in practise.
That statement includes the work that Justin has been doing with trying to recreate the technology that Tony Stark has utilized with the Iron Man suit, because the aforementioned refuses to give up the technology. The government feels as though Stark should be handing it over because it could potentially be harmful, especially if another country got a hold of the technology and started using it against America. The government isn’t aware of what Hammer is doing – they would frown upon that, but he’s hoping to perfect it before bringing it to them, to show that yes, it has been recreated, but by an American. He’s hoping that, if he can recreate it, he’ll be set for life. (Ivan: “What do you want them do?”
Justin: ”Long term? I want it to put me in the Pentagon for the next 25 years. I wanna make Iron Man look like an antique. I wanna go to that Stark Expo. I wanna take a dump in Tony Stark’s yard, y’know what I’m talking about?”)
Always having been second best, and while he tried to be friendly to Tony Stark, he would constantly embarrass him in some way or another, Justin also wants to prove that he can do it to Tony, too. Not that he’ll ever admit to that, naturally.
Personality: Justin is, to put it simply, a dweeb who no one really likes, but who doesn’t realise that no one likes him, either. The type who, in a high school setting would hang out with the jocks – him thinking that it was because they thought that he was cool, but in truth they just kept him around because he would eagerly do their homework.
He’s not really well liked by…anyone, really, but he’s tolerated because he has money, substantial amounts, and where there’s money there’s suck ups.
The reason behind why he’s not so well liked is the front that he puts up. For lack of a better explanation, and to put it as simple as possible: he wants to be Tony Stark. However, Justin lacks the suave, smooth charm that Stark has, so instead he comes off as a bit of a sleaze with bad jokes and bad pick up lines. He does still get women, but they’re not falling over each other to get to him the way they do Stark. However, there’ll always be women who want men for no other reason than the chance of maybe getting their face in the paper, and having the chance to brag that they’ve slept with someone rich, and both things are possible through Justin.
But underneath it all, buried deep within Justin’s mind, and somewhat suppressed is the constant jealousy that he feels towards Stark, a jealousy that isn’t only when it comes to charms and women, but within the work field too. As mentioned earlier, he built his company from the ground up, and feels as though while being a boy genius, Stark would never have managed to create Stark Industries if he hadn’t been handed everything over from his father. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, as he thinks it, and throughout life received everything on a platinum platter.
He comes off as a bit incompetent and bumbling, and though yes – on some things he is, but in general it’s more that he’s just bad at wording things. (Canon examples are aplenty, but a special not is at the Stark Expo and his speech, when he tells what he thinks is a hilarious joke, and it receives crickets and coughing.)
Another thing he does, is that he tries to act a whole lot younger than he is, trying to be hip and cool. (Canon example of this being during the Monaco scene where he actually says BTW as BEE-TEE-DOUBLE EWE hurr) Saying acronyms isn’t exactly cool, even though he thinks it is, which throws back to reasons why people are iffy about spending time with him more than they have to.
In general though he’s a good guy who’s just trying a bit too hard. He wants to be liked and cool and hip etc, but with trying as hard as he does, it has the opposite effect.
Other:(I wasn’t sure if this was to go under history~ or not, so I’m putting it here since it’s a bit more vague then the rest) In the Iron Man 2 novelization from which I am also drawing canon, it is heavily alluded that Justin is a member of the Ten Rings organization, and something that I’ve included for my interpretation of the character. The Ten Rings is mentioned in the previous Iron Man film with Raza. He wears a ring that Obediah Stane then slips off his finger after he’s paralyzed him. A similar ring is seen in Iron Man 2 on Justin Hammer’s right pinky (visible best during the luncheon scene after he’s broken out Ivan Vanko). In the book it is said that Ivan Vanko goes to the Ten Rings to help him get to Stark, the shady dealings that we see in the movie where he meets the guy in the back alley, getting the passport and tickets. When the scene of Ivan’s breakout is brought up in the book, it is noted that to hint that it’s a trap to Ivan that the guard delivering the faulty potatoes scratches his neck on purpose so Ivan looks up and sees the Ten Rings tattoo visible over the collar of his shirt. Ivan, on the ride to the hangar concludes that the person who has broken him out is either a member of the Ten Rings, or someone so elite that they can make the Ten Rings do their bidding, and the former is far likelier than the latter.
Justin is a fantastic dancer, and loves to show off his ~sweet moves~ any chance he gets.
He has a Gulfstream G5.

This also plays a role in the jealousy (to be later mentioned) he feels towards Stark, since he feels as though Tony was handed everything wrapped up in a pretty box with a bow. He is, however, far more of a businessman than he is an engineer, and therefore he relies on hiring the best engineers he can to do the dirty work. Naturally everything gets overseen by him, and approved or rejected, but as it is things in theory don’t often work out the same way in practise.
That statement includes the work that Justin has been doing with trying to recreate the technology that Tony Stark has utilized with the Iron Man suit, because the aforementioned refuses to give up the technology. The government feels as though Stark should be handing it over because it could potentially be harmful, especially if another country got a hold of the technology and started using it against America. The government isn’t aware of what Hammer is doing – they would frown upon that, but he’s hoping to perfect it before bringing it to them, to show that yes, it has been recreated, but by an American. He’s hoping that, if he can recreate it, he’ll be set for life. (Ivan: “What do you want them do?”
Justin: ”Long term? I want it to put me in the Pentagon for the next 25 years. I wanna make Iron Man look like an antique. I wanna go to that Stark Expo. I wanna take a dump in Tony Stark’s yard, y’know what I’m talking about?”)
Always having been second best, and while he tried to be friendly to Tony Stark, he would constantly embarrass him in some way or another, Justin also wants to prove that he can do it to Tony, too. Not that he’ll ever admit to that, naturally.
Personality: Justin is, to put it simply, a dweeb who no one really likes, but who doesn’t realise that no one likes him, either. The type who, in a high school setting would hang out with the jocks – him thinking that it was because they thought that he was cool, but in truth they just kept him around because he would eagerly do their homework.
He’s not really well liked by…anyone, really, but he’s tolerated because he has money, substantial amounts, and where there’s money there’s suck ups.
The reason behind why he’s not so well liked is the front that he puts up. For lack of a better explanation, and to put it as simple as possible: he wants to be Tony Stark. However, Justin lacks the suave, smooth charm that Stark has, so instead he comes off as a bit of a sleaze with bad jokes and bad pick up lines. He does still get women, but they’re not falling over each other to get to him the way they do Stark. However, there’ll always be women who want men for no other reason than the chance of maybe getting their face in the paper, and having the chance to brag that they’ve slept with someone rich, and both things are possible through Justin.
But underneath it all, buried deep within Justin’s mind, and somewhat suppressed is the constant jealousy that he feels towards Stark, a jealousy that isn’t only when it comes to charms and women, but within the work field too. As mentioned earlier, he built his company from the ground up, and feels as though while being a boy genius, Stark would never have managed to create Stark Industries if he hadn’t been handed everything over from his father. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, as he thinks it, and throughout life received everything on a platinum platter.
He comes off as a bit incompetent and bumbling, and though yes – on some things he is, but in general it’s more that he’s just bad at wording things. (Canon examples are aplenty, but a special not is at the Stark Expo and his speech, when he tells what he thinks is a hilarious joke, and it receives crickets and coughing.)
Another thing he does, is that he tries to act a whole lot younger than he is, trying to be hip and cool. (Canon example of this being during the Monaco scene where he actually says BTW as BEE-TEE-DOUBLE EWE hurr) Saying acronyms isn’t exactly cool, even though he thinks it is, which throws back to reasons why people are iffy about spending time with him more than they have to.
In general though he’s a good guy who’s just trying a bit too hard. He wants to be liked and cool and hip etc, but with trying as hard as he does, it has the opposite effect.
Other:(I wasn’t sure if this was to go under history~ or not, so I’m putting it here since it’s a bit more vague then the rest) In the Iron Man 2 novelization from which I am also drawing canon, it is heavily alluded that Justin is a member of the Ten Rings organization, and something that I’ve included for my interpretation of the character. The Ten Rings is mentioned in the previous Iron Man film with Raza. He wears a ring that Obediah Stane then slips off his finger after he’s paralyzed him. A similar ring is seen in Iron Man 2 on Justin Hammer’s right pinky (visible best during the luncheon scene after he’s broken out Ivan Vanko). In the book it is said that Ivan Vanko goes to the Ten Rings to help him get to Stark, the shady dealings that we see in the movie where he meets the guy in the back alley, getting the passport and tickets. When the scene of Ivan’s breakout is brought up in the book, it is noted that to hint that it’s a trap to Ivan that the guard delivering the faulty potatoes scratches his neck on purpose so Ivan looks up and sees the Ten Rings tattoo visible over the collar of his shirt. Ivan, on the ride to the hangar concludes that the person who has broken him out is either a member of the Ten Rings, or someone so elite that they can make the Ten Rings do their bidding, and the former is far likelier than the latter.
Justin is a fantastic dancer, and loves to show off his ~sweet moves~ any chance he gets.
He has a Gulfstream G5.

First Person (entry type): (note: this is the type of thing that would be on a ~blog, and a private one at that)
I got my slot for the Stark Expo confirmed today. Finally. I’ve been waiting for it for weeks now. I was starting to think that maybe Anthony was going to reject it for some reason. Resentment for me having taken over his previous position, or something like that. But the e-mail I got in return seems to be generic enough, so I’m starting to wonder if he even has a hand in choosing who’s going to present, or if he’s just doing this whole thing to stroke his enormous ego. Between you and me: Knowing him I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case.
I’m looking forward to it. It’s going to be good. No, scratch that. It’s going to be great. I just have to finish up the prototypes.
I think I mentioned in my last entry that we were going to do a test run on the current ones, and we have no. Conclusion: might have jumped the gun a bit early on this one. It wasn’t a total disaster or anything, and the pilot is fine. Relatively unscratched. Alive. But it didn’t work out quite the way I was hoping that it would. But I was excited, and it had to be tested out at some point. You can’t really blame me for it. Now I know what areas that really need to be worked on, and I’ll have my engineers get to that. Might have a harder time getting test pilots now, though, but I’m sure I’ll be able to work out something. Note to self: do that. Heh.
You know. I think having this personal blog thing was a great idea. Right now I’m just talking to myself, but I’m doing it without sounding completely crazy! And if I wanted to, I could talk to everyone on the internet, which is pretty much everyone in the world these days, which is neato, too. Maybe I should get a public one, too. Set it up on the Hammer Industries website. Though I’ll have to make sure that I put in some sort of difficult password that I won’t be able to put in when I’m drunk. I don’t want to be stupid, drunk and blogging at any time. The Social Network was a good movie.
Hammer Out.
Third Person:
Where to begin? was the only question that was on Justin’s mind as he surveyed the stretched out space in front of him.
Events were one of his favourite things about being in the position that he was in, but then again, for who wouldn’t it be? There was good food, good drink, good music and good people. Beautiful people, too, which was why he always came to these kinds of things alone, in hopes that he would find something to take home with him, if he was lucky.
He sipped the flute of champagne that he had snagged from a passing waiter, and with a bit of a jive in his step he started making his way across the room, throwing in some heys and hellos along the way. He nodded at his acquaintences that were too far off to get a verbal greeting as he passed them, making his way towards the buffet table, and then walking the length of it, back and forth. He grabbed a cracker with caviar and popped it in his mouth as he thought, and then went for a chocolate covered strawberry. Not the most ideal of combinations, but the stomach wanted what the stomach wanted, and it wasn’t the worst combination in the world either.
He considered taking another, but was distracted by a familiar head of dark hair, and if the hair hadn’t given him away, the entourage of women surrounding him would have given it away just as much. With a cocky grin spreading across his face he strode over to the group, nodding and greeting everyone in it before turning his attention to the man who was the center of attention.
“Anthony! I thought that it was you. I was wondering if I would see you here.” Justin added a friendly laugh at that, looking around for some sort of recognition over the fact that they were on a first name basis, and thus missing the roll of the other man’s eyes.
“Justin Hammer.” There was obvious annoyance in his voice, and the smile on his face was forced, though whether Justin knew it or not wasn’t clear, because either way, he acted like he didn’t. “How did you get in here?”
“Oh, always the funny man,” Justin let out another laugh at that, one that was louder than necessary for that “joke”. “I’m here for the same reasons that you’re here. Rich. Smart. Handsome.”
“I can think of several accounts of where you’re wrong in that statement,” Tony replied, clearly still annoyed as he quickly tried to make his escape. “I…see someone over there who I need to talk to. Hopefully I won’t see you later.”
Before Justin could say anything else, Tony had walked away, the majority of the group that had been surrounding him following after, though there were a few that stayed behind, although all they gave Justin were awkward smiles, before they to walked away.
If anyone had been looking closely, they would have noticed a slightly fall in his demeanour – his shoulders slumping a bit, and the smile faltering, but he shook that off of himself quickly, and laughed, making his way to the bar this time to get a stiffer drink than the champagne.
