CHARACTER INFORMATION;
NAME: Yuffie Kisaragi
CANON: Final Fantasy VII
AGE: 16
OCCUPATION: High School Student, Grade 11. Heiress to Kisaragi and Co. Law Offices.
RESIDENCE: Rabanastre Apartment Complex
PERSONALITY: She may come off as a total annoyance at times but Yuffie is actually very friendly, helpful and loving of close friends. She’s optimistic, proud, brash and even somewhat aggressive and doesn’t think twice about saying exactly what is on her mind. She’s assertive and demanding. Her sarcasm is thick when she’s in a bad mood or when she thinks people aren’t being real with her. She thinks politics and drama are trivial and pointless.
She’s rebellious and outspoken, which makes it hard to make friends sometimes, but for those who can actually trust her, she’s a wonderful and brutally honest friend. She’s easily obsessive and has a tendency to over exaggerate.
BIOGRAPHY: So what if she lives apart from her dad and their big stupid mansion in Wutai Town? All he really cares about is honor and “traditions” and could give two craps about the real world. So she moved out on her own even before she was finished high school. To Yuffie, spending one more day with that tool of a father would drive her completely bonkers.
Okay, so what if her Rabanastre two bedroom apartment was paid for by her father. Okay, so what if her books, food and clothing were all paid for by her father…She still wasn’t going to talk to him. Ew.
The real world was about money and assets. If only her father would realize that the real way to bring his law firm back from the graveyard was if he was smarter about his money and business. If only he would realize he had to spend some money to make his firm great again then maybe her family wouldn’t be such a laughing stock of the business community. If only he would put the money in to build a better office, hire powerful employees, advertise more…
Well things would change eventually. Yuffie wasn’t about to see her family just waste away into economic dust. No, she was going to do something about it. Eventually. Then she could throw it all in her dad’s face about how ridiculous honor and being a traditional family and “upholding true honor and justice in the courtroom” was.
The world was changing!
THREE NOTES:
1. Yuffie is a kleptomaniac. Even if an item is trivial and useless she’ll take it without even realizing she did.
2. She is extremely strong and accurate at throwing things. Darts, horseshoes, pitching a baseball…
3. Yuffie takes gymnastics classes.
WRITING INFORMATION:
JOURNAL ENTRY SAMPLE: Oh my gawd, what the hell is going on in this stupid town! Is it national “DRIVE LIKE A TOTAL IDIOT” day or something because I sure didn’t get the freaking memo!
Some guy nearly ran me over with his ugly car today and he didn’t even stop or apologize to me! HE COULD HAVE KILLED ME. WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE TO YOU, ROAD KILL? UGH!
Next time I see that guy I’m dragging my keys into the doors of his stupid ugly car! Let’s see him learn some respect from that!!!
I hate cars.
[Private to Yuffie]
Ugh. My apartment. Is so empty. I think I need a roommate. It’s too quiet and if I don’t get someone soon I might just paint imaginary people on my walls. Haa.
I found a watch in my pocket today. Rolex! LUCKY!
I wonder how I got it.[/Private to Yuffie]
THIRD PERSON SAMPLE: The day was gorgeous, as usual. Yuffie could hear the birds chirping away in the fresh air, the sun shining brightly overhead. The hum of city life rumbled softly around her.
She loved the city; there was nowhere else she would rather be right now than these busy streets. If there was one thing she agreed with her dad on, it was this city. The hustle and bustle was perfect for her, and she had been here since she was born. Her family had lived in Memoria for generations, and someday, she planned to carry on here as well.
But only sometimes, Yuffie liked to look up high into the sky and into the distance at the mountains so far away. Sometimes she wondered what it would be like to go exploring them on a hike or go camping. It was this strange temporary urge for exploration that sometime left her longing for something more…
Distracted, Yuffie didn’t notice the loud growl coming from her left as she sauntered out onto the dusty crosswalk. Moments later a bright red car sped past her at such an alarming speed that it nearly took Yuffie’s foot off and she fiercely leaped back in surprise. Luckily, she had decent sense and was a quick little thing.
Nonetheless, Yuffie filled with a bright rage and threw her fists in the air, flailing them in anger as she watched the speeding car race away into the distance.
“YOU FREAK! WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING!” She howled.

CHARACTER INFORMATION;
NAME: Noel Kreiss
CANON: Final Fantasy XIII-2
AGE: 18
OCCUPATION: First year university student, construction worker around Mysidia
RESIDENCE: Mysidia
PERSONALITY: Noel is a very chivalrous person. He believes strongly in protecting loved ones, standing up for the things you believe in and never giving up on people. It’s these traits that often make him headstrong in his decisions. He’s empathetic, kind, and logical. He would rather think things through rationally and calmly before making any important leaps.
He is very good at hiding his weaker emotions and would rather put them aside instead of confronting them. Noel is a loyal person and dislikes to betray trust. He often comes off as a cocky and confident but he is actually rather soft-spoken and even sometimes has a hard time expressing himself. He values all forms of life and believes in never taking life for granted.
Sometimes, Noel has issues with remembering important things such as dates, memories and special occasions. It’s not that he doesn’t want to remember or that he’s completely irresponsible, it is just something that has always happened to him since he was a child. Because of this he comes off as forgetful but it is never intended.
BIOGRAPHY: Noel wasn’t always alone. When he was a child he was raised by his father. He grew up in a small cottage in Mysidia with the simple necessities of life. He was a quiet child and never caused much trouble. Noel grew up with two other friends, a boy a few years older than him, and a younger girl. They were always together and things were simple then.
When his father died Noel felt like his world was disappearing. Mysidia felt empty after his father passed. Even his friends seemed to vanish. Some days, it felt like he was the only one left in the entire world.
But that was ok because the future was something he looked forward to. The past was too complicated to even think about. If he could, he would change it all. He would change his father’s fate and meet his mother. He would follow his friends as well.
Following high school, Noel went straight into university. He always had a knack for science and biology and as a teenager he would always be drawing fictitious monsters on the pages of his books. He wasn’t sure exactly how a degree in zoology would fit into his life after university, but he figured it would be a good start and at least it got him into the city more often. Besides, he was sure he wasn’t the only university student who didn’t know what they really wanted.
Presently, Noel still lives in the old cottage he was raised in and takes the train to Balamb University early every morning to meet his classes. He works odd constructions jobs around Mysidia and is found often at the docks trying to teach himself how to fish.
Noel often reminisces to himself about his past. Although never talking about it, it is always on his mind. He is always searching for her… and him.
THREE NOTES:
1. Noel is ambidextrous and frequently switches hands while writing.
2. Noel loves track and field and often participates in javelin throwing and excels greatly at it.
3. He loves dinosaurs.
WRITING INFORMATION:
JOURNAL ENTRY SAMPLE: I got lost on campus today after trying to find the office of the registrar. Balamb University sure is huge, it feels like a maze. There are so many people wandering everywhere and everyone looks so happy though.
I’m wondering what it costs for a dorm room here. My house is so far away I think it might be easier to just get a place here downtown or on campus. If I had some extra money maybe I could afford it.
Anyone know any good places hiring?
THIRD PERSON SAMPLE: Noel felt a little dizzy as he walked down the busy halls of Balamb University. This place was unbelievable! There were so many people walking back and forth and the loud hum of people talking all around him left him feeling a little light headed. He wasn’t used to being around so many people.
He was really looking forward to all this and being around crowds of people always made him feel great. He loved meeting new people and seeing new things. Going to university was going to be the best thing that has ever happened to him, and he knew it. It was a lot better than sitting home alone with no one to talk to.
But Noel came to a slow stop and looked over his shoulder. Had he passed that pop machine once before on this trek? Had he seen those tables before? Confused, he looked overhead at the signs and tried to get his senses straight. All the halls looked the same and none of the signs made any sense.
Turning around, and around again, Noel started to feel a little hopeless and stupid. He tapped the shoulder of a random girl walking down the hall and asked, “Excuse me, do you know how to get to the office of the registrar?”

Lightning Farron - Mod Example
Date: 2012-04-22 06:22 am (UTC)NAME: Sheila
JOURNAL: I'll just use this one!
CONTACT: Email/MSN: palmtoptiger@live.ca
CHARACTER INFORMATION;
NAME: Claire "Lightning" Farron
CANON: Final Fantasy XIII
AGE: 21
OCCUPATION: Student at Etro Police Academy
RESIDENCE: Gariland Apartment Complex
PERSONALITY:
Initially, Lightning’s personality may come off as independent, cold, and somewhat distant. She carries herself with confidence and at first glance, Lightning is usually standoffish, making her almost unapproachable to most. Her confidence and independence could be attributed to the fact that for most of her teenage years, she was made responsible for taking care of not only herself, but her sister as well. Lightning can also be a bit stubborn sometimes, especially regarding her sister’s choices, but she understands that they are not hers to make. Lighting has a tendency to hide her feelings (but is trying to be more open about them) in order to appear strong-willed.
Despite this, Lightning is indeed a very dedicated woman and will stop at nothing to protect those that she loves. She is slowly learning to open up and express her emotions to others, but when she does, she is a dedicated friend. Although Lightning can come off as slightly arrogant due to her inability to admit her own error, she still shows compassion towards those she is close to and cares about. In any situation, Lightning usually finds herself taking the place of the leader, and continues on in that role with concentration, perseverance, and dedication.
BIOGRAPHY:
Her name wasn’t always Lightning.
Lightning can barely remember her early life, her father died before she was old enough to remember his face, and her mother passed away due to an unknown sickness when she was only fifteen. Growing up, before her mother’s death, her and Lightning were very close. The death of her mother was a major life changing moment, when she realized that it was her who had to take care of herself and Serah from that point onward. She needed to grow up, much faster than her peers, leaving her friends behind in their young, carefree teenage years. It was then when she decided to call herself “Lightning”, a nickname that caught on fairly quickly. Lightning left her identity behind in order to survive the realities of the world.
After graduating high school, Lightning made the decision to join the police academy to study criminology and train to be a part of the police force. She is now one year from graduation, and well on her way to graduating at the top of her class. The other students avoid her, due to her unapproachable nature, but she doesn’t mind. What good would they do anyway? They would only hold her back. She was not doing this for them, so why should it matter, right? She already has the people she wants to protect in her life.
Somehow though, she fears she can no longer do it alone…
THREE NOTES:
1. Lightning loves strawberry milkshakes and smoothies, and can be frequently found at the local smoothie shop.
2. Though she may not admit it, Lightning loves flowers. Particularly roses.
3. Lightning is not a good cook. In fact, she is quite dreadful in the kitchen and finds herself looking to her sister for help.
WRITING INFORMATION:
JOURNAL ENTRY SAMPLE:
Twenty-first birthday was today, needless to say it was a disaster. Serah announced that her and Snow are getting married. I’m not entirely sure how to feel about this. I wanted it to be something small, just me and Serah. But no. Worst birthday ever.
[Private to self]
It’s not Snow’s job to take care of her. I don’t think he can take care of her. I don’t buy it. It’s just ridiculous puppy-love and neither of them seem to really know what they want. She isn’t ready to get married and settle down, and he had the gall to pop the question anyway. Does it not matter what I think? Did he not have the common courtesy to even ask me if it was alright?
Maybe I’m being too over protective. Sometimes you need to be.[/private]
I’m going to go get a strawberry smoothie. Or something.
Thanks for the knife, sis.
THIRD PERSON SAMPLE:
Lightning sipped the refreshing cool smoothie and placed the paper cup down on the table aggressively, shaking her head at herself as she glanced over at her textbook. She was almost done with school, and once she was, they had guaranteed her a position within the Memoria police force. She stared blankly through the window at the passing crowds, lost in thought for a moment about how her life had changed so much in the past five years.
If it weren’t for Serah, Lightning may never have learned how to take care of herself. Maybe this is why I’m having such a hard time with this whole ‘marriage’ thing, she thought to herself before shaking her head feverishly. Lightning took another sip of the smoothie and swirled the straw around, watching the thick pink liquid with bits of strawberry spin round.
She snapped right back to reality when she heard the bell ding melodically as another customer entered the shop. She grabbed her cup and left and felt the sun hit her face. This was a nostalgic feeling, and when she closed her eyes, she saw a beautiful sight. Not entirely sure what it was she saw, but it was a bright and warm feeling. And Serah was there.
I better head home and get some studying done…
