What are their strengths, their flaws, their weaknesses? Please provide us with an in-depth vision of your character-- Of their mind, of how they think, of how they deal with relationships and how they interact with people. Of what they do and for what reasons. We do expect example from their history to be provided when discussing their personality. However, we want to see an analysis of their personality, and not a timeline summarizing their lives. We would like to see around 400 words for this section. Third-Person Sample: Prose sample; it can be from a previous game, from the test-drive meme, from a musebox, from dear-mun or something totally new. All samples should be less than one year old. You cannot use brackets for this sample. Mognet Sample: Write us a letter your character would post on Mognet! Remember characters can dictate letters' content to their Moogle, so not knowing how to write is no excuse not to post on Mognet. Because this sample is set on Mognet, you cannot link a sample from a previous game or musebox. Furthermore, it has to be something written dictated or written by your character, not something the Moogle did on its own. Crystallis Moogle Name: The name your Moogle will have! Moogles are already named by the time they meet the character, but OOCly you are free to choose your Moogle's name. Remember, they're essentially OC you can use and that will stick with your character till the end, so choose wisely. Moogle Gender: Male or Female.

A last resort of sorts. Name and write the Limit Break that your character will have access to. Limit Breaks are independent of the Job system, and can be a power they once had in their homeworld. It can be overpowered, but within reason. • OU / Regular Application For AUs, Game Transplants and OCs, there are different requirements for the personality section.

Personality: Write the personality of your character in your AU, with the same standards than for an OU app. On top of the expectations we have for regular personality sections, here we also expect to see comparisons made between the original self and the alternate self, pointing out their differences and similarities. Remember, differences and similarities ought to be balanced out in an AU. • Game Transplants Former Game: The game(s) your character was in before. Canon History: A Wiki Link will be enough.

Revised personality
One of the first things that most people would notice about Edgar, especially if they are attractive and female, is that Edgar has a certain...way of doing things. That's probably a nice way of putting it that Edgar will flirt with any woman on two legs. He isn't a slimeball, he isn't a predator, but instead, Edgar sees it as a game to play between two people, similar to a political negotiation. He is always respectful about it, polite, and if he notices that the other party doesn't seem to enjoy it, he will stop, if only because the game isn't fun unless two people play it. This flirtatious behavior hasn't always worked out in his favor, and he's been slapped more than one time, but it's just the way that he is.
Beneath the flirtatious exterior lies the mind of an inventor, and a man who can definitely make his inventions come to life. Because of this, Edgar is prone to periods of locking himself in his workshop so that he can build the next great invention that he's dreamed up, like the AutoCrossbow or the BioBlaster. Some of these tools seem a bit insane, but...well, his track record has been proven at this point, one would think. Of course, he'll usually come out of the workshop with a crazed look on his face, stubble, and probably some slight mercury poisoning, but that's just the hazards of the job. Another thing that this does is make Edgar really interested in researching and experiencing new things, which is why he was so impressed and excited to see Terra's display of magic. He's much like the cross between a scientist and a small child, so excited about the prospect of seeing actual magic in action that he was jumping around like a child. Sure, this could diminish his kingly demeanor, but who cares, there's something shiny to be seen!
As stated in an earlier paragraph, Edgar is willing to do anything to help his kingdom, and that goes doubly so for anyone whom he considers family. Despite not wanting to take the throne and crown, Edgar knew that it would chafe his brother even worse than it would him, and so fixed the coin flip so that would take the throne and rule the country. His williingness to provide Locke with a safe house for him and a major Empire fugitive is another example of the risks that he's willing to take for someone close. He will move heaven and earth for his family.
Edgar is also known for his cunning, his ability to think on his feet. He's a brilliant strategist and usually has an exit plan for any situation he's currently in, like his escape from Kefka and the submergence of Figaro Castle, or the plan to bring his people back after they'd been stuck in the sand in the World of Ruin. He was able to infiltrate a gang of thieves with the flimsiest of excuses, and despite his friends showing up on the scene, was able to keep his cool and not give up his Gerad alias.
