* Prussia in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' kept one on April Fool's Day until he dropped his ice cream on his laptop and broke it. The blog can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20120105081345/http://spazzy.starry-sky.com/oresamanosite/t.html here].
* The four main characters of ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' have [[Myspace]] pages. They've not been updated in a while, but entail the characters introducing themselves. Anyone familiar with the series would see these introductions as plausible the characters might say in such a circumstance. The blogs are as follows: [http://www.myspace.com/lagoonbenny Benny], [http://www.myspace.com/lagoondutch Dutch], [http://www.myspace.com/lagoonrevy Revy], and [http://www.myspace.com/lagoonrock Rock].
* As part of the promotion for the [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''[[Chaos;Head]]'', seven character blogs, one for each of the girls and one for protagonist Takumi, appeared on the website.
Line 53:
* The syndicated comic ''Luann'' had a short arc where Luann and Tiffany have a competition to see which of their [[Myspace]] pages can get more friends. Both page addresses appeared in the comic; both actually exist on the web and are written as if by the two characters.
* MODOK has a blog on the [[Marvel]] website.
* Cooper from the print comic [[Retail]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100115153421/http://retailcomic.ning.com/profiles/blogs/new-new-digs has his own], though it's rarely updated, and he mentions Norm Feuti often, in a delicate mix of "reality" and comic reality.
* Superboy Prime of DC comics is supposed to be using his computer in the real world. However, it's hard to determine how, since both Twitter and the official forums have several different people all claiming to be him and fighting over it.
* Carl "Deathtrap" Draper, a minor ''[[Superman]]'' villain turned Checkmate operative in [[DC Comics]], has a blog [https://web.archive.org/web/20120208105802/http://www.gideonii.com/ here], accessable with the user ID "CARL DRAPER" and the password "wilhelmina".
Line 155:
* During the development of ''[[Psychonauts]]'', Tim Schafer created profiles for each of the game's child characters in a small online friending network to better develop each character's personality.
* Sam Fisher, the hero of ''[[Splinter Cell]]'', once had one. Just like the "interviews" with him in the games' special features, it claimed that the games were merely based on his real life adventures. Strangely, [[Broken Masquerade|he explicitly named the top-secret organization he's supposedly a part of]].
* There is a rather lengthy series of [[Fan Work|fan-made]] character blogs for the cast of [[Suikoden IV]] and [[Suikoden Tactics]], which tell the story of both games, although Tactics is incomplete. The archives can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20070403215028/http://www9.brinkster.com/miluda/journals/index.html here].
* Eri Mizutani, from the DS game [[The Idolmaster (video game)|THE iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars]], has her own blog, named [http://my.bnfes.jp/blog.php?community_id=34 Fountain of Ellie].
** Actually, this is sort of [[Older Than They Think]]. The arcade version of [[The Idolmaster (video game)|The Idolmaster]] had an online service where, if you put in your e-mail or cellphone numbers (not sure of which), the Idol you're currently coaching will send you text messages from time to time.
Line 163:
* There is an official [[Twitter]] page for Doug Rattman of [[Portal (series)|Portal]]
** There are various handfuls of both ask and roleplay blogs on [[Tumblr]] for practiacally all characters from both Portal games. Including, and not limited to, all the personality cores, [[GLaDOS]], Chell, Rattmann, Cave Johnson, turrets, the emancipation grill, a lemon, the radio... actually, if it's appeared in Portal, there's probably been a blog made for it.
* Norman Jayden from [[Heavy Rain]] has several, including a popular [https://web.archive.org/web/20110124032353/http://www.formspring.me/
** Ethan Mars, Scott Shelby, Madison Paige, Carter Blake, and even Shaun/Jason Mars also have some blogs floating around on the internet, although many of them are inactive or infrequently updated.
* During the buildup to the release of ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', Emily Wong had a Twitter feed (technically, she took over the preexisting Alliance News Network account). For twelve hours, she livetweeted the Reaper invasion of Earth {{spoiler|until she died, ramming her skyvan into a Reaper}}.
Line 198:
* The characters in ''[[Dorm Life]]'' get webcams for making their own vlogs. Some of their videos are used to complement the [[Mockumentary]] footage and some are exclusively on the show website.
* Zack, the Cloudcuckoolander cameraman from ''[[Echo Chamber]]'', has an in-character [https://twitter.com/#!/DeadCatInABox Twitter account].
** And now Tom's [[Psycho Ex-Girlfriend]] Shannon has a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130301123743/http://tvtropes.info/echochamber/ blog]. TOM, DON'T YOU DARE READ IT!
* [[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog]], of course... though it's only seen in the actual work.
* Every episode of ''[[The Guild]]'' starts with a short vlog from Codex. It is unclear whether she actually posts these vlogs, or if they're for her own edification.
Line 214:
* Marik of [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]] has [http://www.youtube.com/user/ObeyMyRod A youtube] and [http://twitter.com/obeymyrod a twitter.]
* [[The Nostalgia Chick]]'s facebook will sometimes serve as this, as Lindsay has her own and it demonstrates her obsession with [[Todd in the Shadows]]. She even referred to herself as [[X-Men|Mystique and Todd as Nightcrawler]] before realizing how bad that sounded.
* The author of [
* There's also [http://nevermedia.blogspot.com/ Never Media,] which is both a Character Blog and a Review Blog, involving a vampire who analyzes vampire fiction.
* Several of the characters in [[Shadow Unit]] have livejournal accounts (you can friend and comment on them, even- just don't mention that the [http://standuponit.livejournal.com/ blog owners] are fictional). They both expand on the story and act as normal blogs, talking about what the character cooked last night or new music they found.
