Character Application EXAMPLE!
As provided by the brat who's writing Yuffster.

Character: Yuffie Kisaragi

Location: Wutai

Lifestyle: She's currently been fine tuning her Shinobi skills further and now presides at the top of the Pagoda as the Demi-Omni Warrior alongside her father. She's hankering to take over the damn thing, but she's going to have to wait... :)

Past: Yuffie's still the same as before, except at 20, she's gained a slight edge of maturity. She isn't as hasty nor rash, but is still a ball of fun. She's also got her lust for materia, sadly.

Stats: Shurikens, throwing stars, origami, etc. The basic weapons. She's actually pegged Vincent for a gun lesson or two... should be interesting.
Her strengths are that of agility and her flexibility. She's a tad slower than she was before, but her stamina has improved. Naturally, her long distance weapons give her an attack advantage over other party members.
Her weakness are that of her small size and lesser strength. She can be batted away easily and takes a little longer to recover from critical hits. despite being speedy, her hit ability, if calculated into a number stat would be relatively low for someone of her level. Finally, her lust for those 'shiny little marbles' would easily be her undoing if the circumstance ever arose.

Plans: Well, eventually, she'd like to become the 'all powerful, I'm better than you, dad!' Omni Warrior Princess of the Pagoda. Someday... someday... *crosses fingers* Anyhow, if trouble would arise in the world, wherein either Avalanche and/or the safety of Wutai were involved, she'd be up and out the door to help in an instant. She's always pining for something to do. Hardly anyone ever climbs the pagoda... ^_~

Status: Yuffie is on her own side. Occasionally she'll consider herself on Avalanche's side. In reality, she's actually neutral, but... since her last journey with Avalanche, she couldn't help but notice the fact that the group had a knack for finding many a wonderous materia... :)

This is an EXAMPLE, so no C&P'ing stuff and modifying it.
There will be cross-checks.
Anyhow, this is an example of a HALF DECENT application.
Bad Yuffie! *smack* ^_~
