Long Character Narratives

Character narratives that are significantly long and don't fit conveniently on a profile page. These are written moreso as extensively detailed drafts than anything formal, because if I did spruce them properly they'd be their own novel series. However, they still are quite good and have interesting ideas or scenes that I'd say are worth reading, so they're here too.
