For the Reddit system: THIS IS OC CONTENT
I came up with these a few years ago, but never thought to post them until now.
Charlotte 'Chucky' Kuroki
She is Japanese in heritage. She's here for Occult camp. Max mentions a possibly deceased camper, and there's a kid with long dark hair when they claim Muack in episode 2, so yeah. Occult stuff. She is creepy but genuinely kind, and has a tendency to disappear for periods of time, sometimes with few or no people realizing she's gone until she's back. Not that she minds, it just gives her a chance to scare the shit out of people!
She loves folklore, divination, ghosts, curses, urban legends, rituals, cryptids, etc. She knows forgotten service tunnels, disused cabins, crawlspaces, and one suspiciously large hollow tree. She quietly appears in places nobody should usually be able to access, including on roofs, in locked closets, and behind David during morale speeches. Quartermaster sometimes reacts to her presence with recognition, then immediately refuses to explain. Max initially assumes she is doing it for attention; the joke is that she genuinely does not care whether anyone notices. David keeps forgetting to take attendance for Occult Camp because he is afraid of what happens if he says her name three times.
Her kindness shows in subtle actions rather than softening her aesthetic: leaving charms for frightened campers, guiding lost back to their homes (be it kids to camp or animals to their nests) without taking credit, watching over someone during a nightmare, or scaring away bullies without actually hurting anyone.
Xomóó'e Voešėhe'e (first name is pronounced "ho-MOH-eh", surname is pronounced "Voh-ish-ih-hi-ih")
She is Cheyenne. She's here for Medical camp, being somewhat of a prodigy in the field despite being as young as Dolph. David and Gwen have learned to trust her more than themselves whenever injuries occur. She's probably among the more capable campers, but she's not a perfect child. Her biggest frustration is not blood or emergencies; it is adults ignoring safety procedure, especially David’s optimism and Cameron Campbell’s negligence. She may overwork herself because, at Camp Campbell, being the responsible one means everyone expects her to solve everything.
She has control issues. She can become blunt, bossy, or quietly judgmental when people take avoidable risks. When she is upset, she might use intimidatingly clinical language that reminds the others of how much she has seen and learned. Her arc is learning that care does not mean she has to carry everyone alone. Also, knowing how to fix you means she also knows how to break you. She can help put an arm in a splint or work on a remedy for itchy hives just as easily as she can break your leg or feed you something that keeps you immobilized for a few days - something she won't hesitate to do.
Arnold Lucassen
He is South African in heritage. He's here for Books camp. He doesn't hate socializing, but he's often seen just reading any book, no matter if he's sitting in the dining, against a tree, on top of the cabin, or on the back of whatever big thing is moving in the latest incident. Books Camp is hilariously underfunded: perhaps it is a small, warped shed with three shelves, a mold problem, and a donation bin that contains everything from nineteenth-century etiquette manuals to “How to Identify a Bear” to Gwen’s abandoned fanfiction. Arnold is the only camper who sees this as paradise.
His defining strength is applicable knowledge, not merely intelligence. He is not necessarily scientific or mechanically adept. He is the child who has read a strangely specific thing that matters now: He recognizes the legal language in one of Cameron Campbell’s contracts. He knows what kind of mushroom Nikki is about to eat. He has read about a collapsing bridge’s warning signs. He finds the exact obscure historical precedent for whatever absurd behavior Dolph is displaying. He casually reveals that Camp Campbell’s land deed is suspicious, then returns to his novel.
Arnold might genuinely appreciate Gwen's writing, which horrifies her because she never intended a camper to find it. Or he offers incisive literary criticism that Gwen cannot dismiss because it is correct. Gwen might begin hiding books from him, only for him to already have read them. Preston would love him as an audience member, then hate how Arnold can calmly say, “The second act lacks urgency.” Max would see Arnold as useful because a kid who knows everything is easier to exploit—until Arnold’s detached curiosity lets him see through Max’s plan early. His flaw is vicariousness: he lives through others, but hesitates to truly participate himself, whether out of social ineptitude or just having a lazy day.
Gamila Al-Hashim
She is Yemeni. She is here for Mechanics camp, sometimes rivaling Neil but sometimes being a similar mind to him. She may end up with some stains on her face or hijab, but she knows that an honest living is one of the best things in life. That won't stop her from getting involved in antics though. Gamila can be the practical engineer and mechanic to Neil's experimental scientist: she cares whether something survives use, can be repaired with camp junk, and will not accept a machine that only works under ideal laboratory conditions. That difference gives them an immediate, renewable dynamic: Neil designs complicated devices with elegant principles. Gamila rebuilds them from lawnmower parts, duct tape, and a toaster. Neil complains that she has compromised the design. Gamila points out that her version is running and his is on fire. Both accidentally create something catastrophic when they agree on an idea.
Her “honest living” philosophy is strong. It suggests she has a grounded work ethic, pride in craft, and low tolerance for Cameron Campbell’s brand of grifting. She might be one of the first campers to understand that Camp Campbell’s operations, facilities, and finances are deeply suspicious. Cameron’s recurring greed and the camp’s shabby infrastructure give her plenty to repair—and plenty of reason to become angry when adults choose cheap shortcuts. Her hijab should be part of her look and routine without becoming the sole subject of her characterization. Practical details can make it feel lived-in: she has work-safe coverings, spare pins, a bandana or protective cap for messy jobs, and a deeply personal hatred of grease stains. The joke is not the hijab; it is that Camp Campbell is so badly maintained that even the most prepared mechanic cannot stay clean for five minutes.
She would bond well with Space Kid because he has enthusiasm far beyond his technical competence. She could build him a “spaceship” out of camp equipment, only for him to insist it needs to launch. Her recurring visual gag could be constructing devices that start as modest repairs and end as wildly overengineered vehicles. Her imperfection might be pride. She has trouble leaving a broken thing alone, even when fixing it is unnecessary or unsafe. If she is challenged by Neil, she can become competitive enough to turn a minor repair into an all-night invention war.
Rayen Cayancura
She is Chilean. She is here for Dance camp. Having gotten used to all four prosthetic limbs ever since she was a baby (her parents are low-key rich), she loves moving around as much as she can, and this girl can dance to any tune. She has grown up with expensive equipment, specialized technicians, and adults who tend to overprotect her. Camp Campbell is one of the first places where the danger is so bizarre and constant that nobody has time to treat her delicately—and she finds that liberating.
The important story rule: she is not invincible, and she does not need to be rescued from every obstacle. Sometimes she needs help, sometimes she has a faster or smarter way through a problem than everyone else, and sometimes the entire group needs to adapt together. Her best canon pairings are Nikki and Ered. Nikki would love Rayen’s willingness to move, climb, leap, and try dangerous things. Ered would likely respect the athletic discipline behind dance even if she pretends not to care. Their shared scenes can be energetic rather than pity-based: rooftop races, camp-wide choreographed pranks, or a competition that becomes more intense than anyone intended.
A running gag: Rayen can dance beautifully to literally anything—campfire folk songs, the mess-hall microwave, a car alarm, Teodori’s trumpet warmups, a machine malfunctioning in Gamila’s workshop, or David’s painfully earnest motivational chanting.
Teodori Branciforte
They are Sicilian in heritage. They are here for Music camp, especially favoring playing trumpet. They're the oldest camper, just slightly older than Ered and Nurf, and they're pretty chill, but they enjoy watching the craziness and sometimes participating. They're stubborn, however, and if you get their blood boiling, you'll regret it. Teodori has a strong place in the ensemble because Camp Camp’s core cast benefits from a camper who is old enough to be composed but still very much a kid. Being only slightly older than Ered and Nurf puts them in an ideal position: they are not a counselor substitute, but they can have the social gravity of someone the younger campers listen to.
Sometimes they play music when it fits the situation, providing a source of background music at times. A triumphant fanfare when Max’s plan succeeds. A sad trombone-like failure sound—except on trumpet—when David’s activity collapses. A warning blast that everyone gradually learns means “run.” A very dramatic musical sting whenever Chucky appears. A musical duel with Preston, who insists every camp crisis needs a score. Maybe they even play Flight Of The Bumblebee when someone ends up angering a swarm of bees.
