Character Name: Melody Pond AKA River Song
Canon: Doctor Who
Reference Link: Doctor Who and River Song specifically (bottom left picture is her first body, bottom right is her first regeneration, top is her second and last regeneration)

Character History:
Melody Pond was taken from her mother, Amy, shortly after birth and turned into a weapon to assassinate the most dangerous man in the universe: the Doctor. She was raised on Earth, first living in an orphanage run by aliens. She was shot, but as she died she regenerated into a new body (she could do this thanks to being conceived on a time machine). She then grew up alongside Amy and Rory, her future parents (time travel makes everything complicated). When Amy grew up, she adventured with the Doctor and Melody heard about it. Eventually she decided it was time, and called the Doctor by making crop circle messages. Then she held him at gunpoint and forced him to take her to Nazi Germany to kill Hitler.

Hitler shot her and she was forced to regenerate into a new form, one that was very familiar to the Doctor, Amy and Rory. They'd met her before as an archeologist called River Song, who'd saved their lives before. Melody had never heard that name, and true to her training one of her first actions upon regeneration was poisoning the Doctor. But eventually she heard enough about what she would become in the future to decide to save his life, giving up all her future regenerations in the process. Her obsession with the Doctor now turned in a more romantic direction, she became an archeologist to try track him down. Eventually she was forced to kill him, but instead helped him fake his death (and married him in the process). She was imprisoned for murder, but escaped frequently for adventures (best described by this chart). Thanks to timeline weirdness, as River got to know the Doctor more, he started to know her less, until one day he met her for the first time. On that day she sacrificed herself to save the Doctor's life, and the Doctor managed to upload her consciousness to a computer to live forever.

Personality:
For someone who spent her childhood being brainwashed into a weapon and who at one point declares herself a psychopath, by the end of her life River is a remarkably stable person. She comes across as mature, compassionate and mostly calm in the face of danger. That said, she still retains a tendency to ignore the rules when it suits her, for example breaking out of jail on a regular basis to see the Doctor (but it's okay, she always broke back in again). While she can be serious when the situation calls for it, for the most part she indulges an extreme flair for the dramatic. And when you and your lover can appear at any point in time or space you can get away with a lot. Her favoured way of getting his attention is creating or defacing ancient artifacts and she's been known to let herself be flung into space, secure in the knowledge that he would appear to catch her.

Her complete love of and trust in the Doctor is one of her most defining features. She was raised since birth to obsess over him and that feeling doesn't diminish for all that she turns it to a more benevolent purpose. She believes in his goodness probably more than anyone, and is always completely confident that he'll manage to save the day (with her help, of course). The fact that they're meeting in the wrong order and that almost every time they meet he knows less and less about her weighs on her heavily. However, she's by no means passive or dependent on him. She's his match intellectually and more than his match physically. She's happy to call him out for bad behaviour and show him up when it comes to technical prowess (they're both careful not to spoil each other about each others' lives (in fact responding to things by simply saying "spoilers" is something of a catchphrase for her), but apparently showing off the best way to fly the TARDIS doesn't count). She's also quite happy to go about her business and have her own adventures and only see him every now and then, as long as he does come when called.

And she does have adventures of her own. As an archeologist she's something of an Indiana Jones-like figure, swashbuckling her way through life with a blaster and a ton of attitude. Her training has left her with excellent combat skills and even though she doesn't take quite the same sadistic pleasure in it as she did when she was younger and crazier, she still does love a good shootout.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Professor River Song will do nicely.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
Of course. My boots would get awfully uncomfortable without them.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Whiling away the hours in prison, I suspect. One can only amuse herself with the guards for so long before they're ordered to stop responding, after all. And talking to myself would just be... well, sad.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
It's not paranoia when half of the universe really is out to get you. But my family, I trust more than anything.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
A lion, I think. There's just something about taming a creature that's used to being the most impressive thing in the room.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
No, and I've witnessed it all too often.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
I do hate to be boring, but plates were invented for a reason.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Completely.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Spoilers!

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
I have disappeared, but they won't miss me for a long time. After all, some of those closest to me haven't met me yet. They've still got years left before they have to miss me at all.

Character Name: Artemis Crock
Canon: Young Justice
Reference Link: The YJ Wiki

Character History: A great deal of Artemis' personality takes root in her family issues. Daughter of two supervillains, she was trained for combat from childhood, constantly being tested by her father, something which she alludes to in the amnesia episode as casually as "He probably wants me to kill you." This part of her life was conducted in the absence of her mother and sister. (Her mother was serving time in jail for her crimes, and Jade ran away to escape their father and train under a different master, leaving Artemis the sole member of their family actually trying to keep them a family.) After years of incredibly unhealthy childhood training, her mother returned from jail, and the two of them somehow managing to keep Sportsmaster away, living together in a Gotham apartment. Artemis took up vigilanteism, and eventually was made Green Arrow's protege. Only a day later, she became a part of the Team, and thus a part of the series.
Personality: Because of her upbringing, she's aggressive and caustic, ready and willing to speak her mind and bring it to blows at the slightest provocation. An incredibly physical person, she vents her anger by looking for trouble, seeking out villains to beat up with her fists if at all possible. She's strong, smart, independent and presents herself as a generally capable person.

As is often the case with characters that have such bravado, Artemis is much less together beneath her tough outer shell. She lives with a crippling fear of her teammates discovering to whom she's related, and makes mistakes in her efforts to keep that secret. She lies, lets enemies (her sister) walk free and generally gives off a rather untrustworthy impression at bad times. She has some difficulty fighting the family she so loves, even as broken as they are, to the point of actively being a hindrance in fights against Cheshire or Sportsmaster, from time to time. At the same time, she's desperate for the approval of others, even though she tries to pretend she isn't. Learning that she may have become Green Arrow's protege not through her own prowess but through pity very nearly As tough as she tries to be, she can only take so much pressure, and has broken down on-screen when the entire team depended on her. She pulled herself together and did what was necessary, but she first had to come to terms with exactly how much she valued her teammates.

Writing Sample:
01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Artemis.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
…I'd prefer to avoid too much in the way of smelly feet, yeah.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
I've never counted.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
Are you seriously trying to instill paranoia in me?

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
Uh… a lioness?

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
No.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
A fork.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Sure.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Lying about homework.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Yes.

Character Name: Excel
Canon: Excel Saga (manga)
Reference Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excel_Saga

Character History: Excel is a loyal and hard-working member of ACROSS, a world conquest organization consisting of three nubile young women and a bishounen with a pit trap. She is perhaps not the best choice for a covert organization, considering her complete lack of common sense and the extent to which she loves the sound of her own voice, but then that's just how ACROSS rolls. Over the course of her canon, Excel spends several years in the "lower world of the ignorant masses," working hundreds of part time jobs - many of which went up in flames - and executing nearly a million (failed) missions under the completely useless guidance of Lord Il Palazzo, whom she admires, reveres, and worships like a god.

Eventually there's a seriously convoluted plot involving amnesia and bodyswapping and robots and angel souls and dead waifus and crazy schemes to defeat God. It's all very confusing and the only relevant part is that Excel thinks the plot is stupid and beats people up until it goes away. She then evolves into a higher life form, conquers the world, wins Il Palazzo's heart, and flies off into space. (No, really).

Personality: Excel is talkative, energetic, hard-working, deceptively smart, and endlessly loyal. At first glance, she seems like a confident, outgoing, happy-go-lucky sort of person, but the crazy runs deep. Excel is paranoid, cynical, petty, deeply insecure, and often outright mean. Her entire psyche is held together with duct tape and love for Lord Il Palazzo. She's also severely delusional in a lot of ways, and takes her ridiculous double-life as a world conqueror so seriously that she has to get amnesia just to make a friend.

Near the end of canon, however, she does grow in overall competence and has some good character growth. Her character arc basically involves building confidence, being true to herself, learning to deal with other people, and rigorous blows to the heads of all parties involved.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Huh, that's a pretty good question. How about Your Highness? Is that too much? It's not like I'm second-in-charge of the entire world or anything — oh wait, yes it is!

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
You bet your bytes I do! Socks, size six boots, 12-gauge shoulderpads, and a white cape! Chop chop!

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Uhh, are we counting periods while underwater, brain-damaged, or in a coma?

. . . You know what, let's just skip this question.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
What? No! We're tied together by the infinite, unbreakable bonds of loyalty and the beatings that they will receive at the first sign of suspicious behavior!

. . . Wait, what are they doing? Did you see them doing it? You know what, never mind, I'll check on them myself.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
The octopus bigger than Mt. Fuji! It seems like a worthy ally.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
Nnnah.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
Wire clippers and some C4.

08. Do you trust yourself?
You betcha! And you should too! Just look at this trustworthy face!

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
You think you're pretty clever, huh? Well these lips ain't tellin you nothing! Not even the ones I did by accident! So there!

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
The whole world would mourn! Not to mention my glorious lord! Why don'tcha just put me back where you found me? No questions asked, very few punches thrown!

Character Name: Elliot Nightray
Canon: Pandora Hearts
Reference Link: Elliot Nightray on Pandora Wikia

Character History:

Elliot was born into a very rich household, and is the youngest of his siblings, to which there were four not including Vincent and Gilbert who were adopted into the family when Elliot was very young. Elliot was told to stay away from his adopted brothers and did for a time before curiosity got the best of him and he quickly became friends with his new siblings, especially Gilbert, though when he is grown he doesn't show the affection in a way most brothers would. His childhood was plagued with death and horror as his family was haunted by a murderer known as 'The Head Hunter' that would cut the head off a person.

His personalty was very brash and stayed thus, even after meeting Leo his servant and best friend in Sablier [the site of a horrendous tragedy a hundred years before]. Leo did help temper him, though he didn't really change until he met Oz Vessalius who he instantly hated simply because he was from the Vessalius family which were all considered heroes because of what Jack Vessalius did a hundred years prior in Sablier (the ruined city that he met Leo in.) There was also a long time running hate between both families, the Nightrays having been blamed with the death of Oz's mother, which has yet to be proved true or false. This hate slowly tempered into a friendship after both boys learned each others stories and the skeletons they kept in their closets, this learning happened through some harrowing experiences which included both nearly dying for the other.

As the story goes on, it is revealed later, at Oz's coming of age ceremony, that the Head Hunter that Elliot spent most of his young life hunting and hating, was actually himself with the help of a chain, Humpty Dumpty. He contracted with the chain illegally with the help of his servant, Leo, when he was left with a fatal wound inflicted by the chain in it's need to protect Leo from any harm, real or contrived. (Leo being the next vessel of the many personalities that collectively make up Glen, the true hero of Sablier.) Slowly, his memories become clear to him, and as he sees everything he has done, and the injuries inflicted to his chain begin to kill him (because the clock on his chest that counts down his contract is close to running out of time) he rejects the chain, effectively committing suicide to save anyone else, namely Oz, from carrying his death on their shoulders. [He will be pulled from just before he rejects the chain.]

* chain - a mix between a demon and a spirit that you call forth to fight or protect depending on it's powers. There are both Legal and Illegal contracts. Legal contractors are spared the death that comes at the end of the contract, the seal that would usually be placed on their chest in the image of a clock is placed into an item leaving the owner unharmed. An illegal contract is just that, the exact opposite of a legal one, the seal is on their person and upon completion they are dragged down into the abyss, or the worlds version of the afterlife which in the current time is more like a hell.

Personality:

Elliot is very brash, and loud about his opinions. He starts out with a very narrowed view of life, that slowly changes as the story progresses and he meets more and more people. He loves his family more then anything else and hates anything that hurts them, with that feeling extending to Leo, his servant and best friend who he will go to alarming lengths to protect. He feels emotions very strongly and isn't above shouting and punching people if they give up. Elliot abhors seeing people being self deprecating and will either be very angry with them or shout at them until they understand that their life is not as bad as it could be. He believes very strongly in not letting fate decide your life, and taking your life by the reigns.

In that sense, he takes responsibility for things he's done and tries to be very noble in that way. Even after he died in the series, people said that he was very honorable and noble about his life. He will help people when they need it, and will do whatever he can for people he cares about, even if they don't know he truly cares of about them because of the facade he puts on. He will never run away from anything, which is what hurts him so much when it is revealed to him that his chain helped him forget a lot of the painful memories of his life, namely the evil things he did.

Writing Sample/Survey:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Elliot, of course, it is my name.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
Of course, what sane person would not wear socks with a uniform!

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
I don't like silence, though I don't like talking when I'm playing the piano, it ruins the music.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
Someone is always planning something it seems, but let them try anything with me ~~or my friends~~ they won't know what hit them!

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
To be completely honest I think a large cat would be interesting. Even though my family are dog people... cats are very loving.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
I hate it, I hate when they can not get over it. Mourn, scream, cry if you must but don't dwell on it. You can't do anything for it after a point and it's a waste of peoples times if you won't get past it. Especially if someone is willing to help you.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
A fork.

08. Do you trust yourself?
I used to, but recently I'm staring to wonder.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
I ... I killed most of my family and made myself forget about it.. how cowardly can I be?

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Leo, definitely Leo... and maybe Oz, the kid is too emotional about that kind of thing. He'd probably cry like a baby.

Character Name: Tenjou Mitsuru
Canon: Barajou no Kiss
Reference Link: No good summary exists on the internet.

Character History: The Rhode Knights and their Dominion are responsible for keeping the devil’s seal. Supposedly. Really, the Association holds a lot of the cards, while the roses are either kept in the dark or regarded as tools. Tenjou, the White Rose, is the only one in the group having both background knowledge and any power with the organization. The carefully bred representative of the Tengoku Church, he has access to information and an actual position within the society, so while he may be considered a puppet, he’s less so of one than the disposable human sacrifice Seiran, or Mutsuki, who is more or less (probably more) Tenjou’s pet vampire analogue.

He spends the series as Anis’s least favorite, partially because of his personality but also because he appears to have no problem doing things by the Society’s book. Let those people bleed out because he doesn’t want to use Anis’s blood to heal them? Sure! Worst white mage ever. And all that stuff about cloning experiments, involuntary brain dives on his 200 year old amnesiac vampire? Girls don’t usually consider that kind of thing ideal white knight behavior. Plus his whole to love is to serve deal, to be used and abused. The society might have gotten their ideal knight, but Anis is a mostly normal girl, so she finds him more than kind of gross. Still, this hardly discourages him. Tenjou pursues her and does all he can for her and the saving the seal... even if his methods are less than savory.

Personality: Sparkly overdramatic rich boy, prone to gestures like giving away full life-size statues of himself in chocolate for BnK valentine’s day analogue, calling a limousine for the heroine to get to the store, casually abusing his powers as student council president to make the heroine spend more time with him, making offers to assemble 1000 of his followers to search for her lost choker, and dressing in a ridiculous Takarazuka style dress for the cross-dressing portion of an idol contest. Completely over-the-top, likes poetry and covering things in roses... The shoujo prince stuff notched up to eleven, making him very popular with the entire school.

Also, a sadomasochist troll, which makes him much less popular with Anis. Can’t have everything! As mentioned in the history section, he’s also more than a little bit of a cold bastard, when it comes to decision making about his duty. But while he may not give a damn about 99.9% of the people he sparkles at when it comes to choosing between them and Anis, he does have concern for a few... Even if it’s hardly normal concern. Other people may scold someone for worrying them after they got hurt staying out late, Tenjou will offer to break a few more bones in punishment before healing them back up. Not that he’ll admit to this being caring, either. Even insinuating it is another quick way for his vampire to earn a punishment, or to make Tenjou freeze up in disgust, even in the middle of a serious battle. ...honestly, the less said about Tenjou’s deeper feelings, the better. He may be on the side of dubious good, and out to save his Mistress in the end, but he’s definitely not the typical type of romantic protagonist.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called? My name is Tenjou Mitsuru, but given the freedom of choice... Aah! Mr. (Student Council) President, Father, Master, those may all have been titles I’ve had handed to me, but if you would... Mitsuru-sama suits me nicely.
02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform? Ankles, unused to wear and tear, scandalously bare and blistered, the fragile skin broken--! An attractive thought it may be, a good man brought low by such a petty oversight, but I reserve that kind of exquisite suffering for what Anis-sama will deign to inflict on me. I’ll have to insist upon them.
03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking? I have no specific figure to offer you, but I’m sure the answer can be found on file.
04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you? No. I am certain if they were, it would reported to me rather shortly. My followers are rather enthusiastically devoted. Ha ha ha.
05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate? I will allow Mutsuki to field this question, as he is intimately familiar with the answer.
06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery? My devotion is ever-unwavering.
07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake? None other than the elegant cake fork, narrower than the salad fork but form balanced perfectly with function, the left tine extra wide to allow it to cut even through the firm, deceptively flakey layers of baklava! What other answer would there be?
08. Do you trust yourself? [ this field was left blank ]
09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed. Ha ha ha. Certainly. But could I request you make sure you have all your affairs in order, first? Otherwise, “that” is not for your ears to hear. It’d reflect quite poorly on the Tengoku Church to allow such baseless rumors to circulate.
10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you? Ohhhh, to leave Lady Anis adrift, separated by the mercilessly fathomless sea of distance! My heart and hers forced apart so cruelly, I would be the shipwrecked passenger with his hope lost to despair on the verge of plunging back into the deadly ice water, rather than live apart all alone-! No, the mere thought of it brings me to my knees. I couldn’t stand for such a thing.

And Mutsuki would get lonely.

Character Name: Hitachiin Kaoru
Canon: Ouran High School Host Club
Reference Link: Wiki

Character History: Kaoru is one of a set of identical twins born to a disgustingly rich fashion designer. He and his brother, Hikaru, have spent their entire lives joined at the hip (figuratively) and, until meeting other members of the host club, let no one into the private world that the two of them built up around themselves. Even family was barred from getting that close to them. However, in middle school they met a pure hearted idiot, Tamaki Suoh, who eventually succeeded in badgering them into taking a step out of that world by joining a host club.

A year or two later, the Host Club took in a commoner student, Fujioka Haruhi, who found herself suddenly owing a debt. Since meeting her and growing to love the club and its members, the twins have begun to open up and step out into the real world more and are gradually letting their own individual personalities come to the surface more and more. They entertain female classmates for fun and profit, goof off with (or harass) fellow club members, and generally act like the spoiled rich brats that they are.

Personality: Kaoru is the more mature of the two brothers, a facet of his personality he tends to play down when around people he doesn't know well in order to keep them at a distance until he decides whether he thinks they're actually trustworthy or not. He's definitely more emotionally and socially aware than he lets on most of the time and is often the one to add some restraint to the pranks and taunting he and his brother enjoy. Some. He does still enjoy the childish games and teasing, especially picking on Tamaki (or anyone else they can get their hands on.) While he is often very keenly aware of the feelings of others, he makes a show of acting like he doesn't care—because he doesn't. Unless playing a joke is going to cause genuine harm or serious upset to someone, it's fun for him! And he's not ready to let go of getting to behave like a kid just yet.

Although he is nicer than his brother, he still has a habit of being blunt and a little demanding when dealing with people. He's also very oblivious to the ways of common people (read: anyone who isn't disgustingly rich) and refers to them as commoners, occasionally impressed at their ingenuity and other times being unable to understand their strange, poor people ways.

When it comes to people he's developed genuine fondness for, he has a protective streak. If a friend is actually harmed or significantly upset then he will defend them in kind. He's entirely capable of just snapping in anger and beating the daylights out of some thug of the day, even if he's the "mature" twin. And, in spite of his fondness for taunting and pranking even his most dear friends, he does try to avoid genuinely offending them and shows regret if he ever does cross them by mistake even if it's a slight error. (For example, selling Haruhi's cheap mechanical pencil.) And while he will show his mature side to people he's grown to trust more often, it's still a relatively uncommon occurrence. As stated before, he enjoys his childish games! Letting his mature side show is generally reserved for private or serious conversations.

Finally, there is his relationship with his brother, Hikaru. The two relied on each other almost solely, right up until Tamaki recruited them into the host club, and it's been a slow process getting them to genuinely open up to anyone other than themselves. They have an intense level of codependence on each other and have never even spent a full day apart from each other. They're also intensely protective of each other. However, it's begun to manifest in Kaoru as wanting them to learn to live a little more apart like healthy and well adjusted individuals do. He won't be happy at all about being separated from Hikaru for such an extended period of time, but because he's begun to adapt to the idea that they'll one day have individual lives and subtly nudge Hikaru towards developing relationships apart from him, he'll be able to tolerate it (very reluctantly). Especially when terrible games begin to happen; then he won't want Hikaru here period. Basically he is going to be troubled and miss Hikaru deeply, but in time will cope and even be grateful his brother hasn't also been sold to evil robots for the pursuit of questionable science.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Kaoru. Or Hikaru. It's up to you to guess~
02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
That depends entirely on what kind of footwear is included. In most cases, yes, but if you expect me to wear something like beach sandals then I'll pass. I don't want to get caught looking like an idiot tourist.
03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Ehh? Do you really expect people to keep track of that?
04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
There are probably plenty of people that are thinking things like that, but no one with enough power to actually do anything like it. It would be social or business suicide if they tried.
05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
Hmm, perhaps an ocelot or another kind of small jungle cat. I don't want anything too big to manage, and jungle cats always have an elegant and impressive look.
06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
What kind of bizarre question is this? I guess sometimes there's nothing to say or do for someone, but a situation like that is rare. Usually it's just funny.
07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
Anna Weatherley has some truly beautiful designs on her flatware. The yellow leaf pattern is a good choice if you want one that will complement most cake designs.
08. Do you trust yourself?
Why wouldn't I? You have to be a pretty pathetic person to not even trust yourself.
09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
None~ My brother and I are partners in crime, so there's no crime that only I know about.
10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Creepy question . . . Of course I'd be missed. Hikaru would probably hire an army to track me down if I went missing out of the blue.

Character Name: Suoh Tamaki
Canon: Ouran High School Host Club (anime)
Reference Link: wiki

Character History:
Tamaki is the illegitimate son of the patriarch to the stupidly wealthy Suoh family, and has always lived a life of luxury. It hasn't always been easy, however. He spent most of his childhood trying to comfort and entertain a sick mother, and didn't have many friends. Eventually he was taken on as the Suoh heir, forced to cut contact with his mother and deal with a cruel grandmother.

Still, he decided to make the best of things, and as soon as he got to high school, he founded the Ouran Host Club, a club dedicated to entertaining the bored girls of his prestigious high school. It was in this way that he met Haruhi, a "commoner" who incurred a large debt to the club, and proceeded to develop all kinds of feelings for her that were obvious to everyone but him.

Personality:
As a host, Tamaki is the self-proclaimed "prince type," a charismatic young man who endeavors to charm every woman he meets. Despite the fact that he can be rather narcissistic and obnoxious about this, however, his intentions are actually pretty good. He honestly, genuinely wants to make women happy (and people in general, really).

Tamaki is quite sensitive and shows a great deal of empathy and kindness toward others. He'll frequently go out of his way to help and befriend people, even those who would plot against him. Though he's fairly in-tune with other people's feelings, he can be ridiculously dense about his own, particularly his love for Haruhi. This is partially due to his family issues and desire to think of the Host Club as his family, but also it's because he's kind of a moron.

Especially when he's around his friends, Tamaki is less of a prince and more of a hyper, flamboyant idiot. Melodramatic and overly-emotional, his ego is easily bruised but will snap back into place the second he is complimented. In general, he's a playful derp who just wants to goof off and have fun.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Oh, I get a choice? Magnificent! You can call me King! King of the Ouran Host Club!

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
That depends on the uniform, now doesn't it? Are we talking a school uniform, military uniform? Modern or period piece? Do we have a theme? You know, before I decide, can I get the thread count on the socks? Thanks!

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Several hours every night! I like to call it "sleep!"

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
No, I can't say I've ever thought about it.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
Hmm, I don't know! There are just so many good options. How about a grizzly bear? I've always thought they looked so fetching in their tutus and little hats. Think how delighted everyone will be when they step into the host club and see a real life teddy bear! We could teach it to serve tea!

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
I can't afford to be incapacitated. I'd want to be able to help them, even if it's just a little.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
Well, I'm fond enough of the Rocaille flatware we have at the estate, but I'd have to say I'm really impressed by commoners' forks. Did you know they have a fork that's also a spoon? Brilliant! Never underestimate commoners' ingenuity!

08. Do you trust yourself?
Who wouldn't trust a face like this?

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
You could say I'm criminally handsome! But I think that one's common knowledge~

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Wh-what kind of a question is that? Of course they would! My whole club is waiting for Daddy to come home!

Character Name: Kiyama Hiroto
IC day they were dropped: Day 9
Transfer or desynchronization: transfer
(If you picked transfer) Reaction to product testing:

Honestly it really depends on what the testing was, mostly! But probably his backstory would have helped him taking the testing pretty well all things considered! He deeefinitely was a sad ball of feelings due to being alone the whole time, but I imagine he kept on doing all the product testing with determination and stuff because of the whole IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL YOU GIVE UP! and he would want to go back to his friends, so.

Like I said a lot depends on what product testing actually was but if it's general non traumatic TEST THIS PRODUCT then he will likely be sad but adjust quickly. If it is traumatic (LIKE DYING OVER AND OVER WHILE TESTING SHIT) then he will have way more issues about it, but will likely keep them to himself. and be a sad tiny.

Character Name: Rapunzel
IC day they were dropped: 13
Transfer or desynchronization: Desynchronization
(If you picked transfer) Reaction to product testing: Rapunzel would have absolutely hated it, being imprisoned, isolated and alone, it's just too many bad pings for her. She would have spent the entire time depressed. She'd try to keep her spirits up, find little ways to amuse herself and turn the testing into a game depending on what she was testing, but it would have still been absolutely awful for her and she'll have missed her team terribly.

If at any point Rapunzel saw Atlas and P-Body, she would have tried to talk with them and spend as much time with them as possible, communication would be easier than other test subjects might find it because she is a Disney Princess and interpreting seemingly unintelligent noises? What they're best at. Heck, she might have even tried to bond with GLaDOS if she spoke up at all, even if just to tell them to stop singing damn it, stockholm syndrome is a terrible thing.
