An example of a good application:

Name: [edited, but I'm sure you can figure out who it was]

Email: zechs@hotpop.com

Character Name: Zechs Merquise

Character Age: 22

Affiliation: OZ

History: Zechs' childhood was detailed, bitter and something that you wouldn't wish on anyone. His real name is Milliardo Peacecraft of the Sanc Kingdom. The young Milliardo took to a rapier and became very skilled in fencing. As he grew older, he became interested in the operations of mobile suits and was eager to pilot one. At the age of 12, the nations of Earth banned together and formed the Earth Sphere Alliance. The Alliance's principles went against the Kingdom's laws of complete pacifism and therefor the kingdom voted to not join. The neighbouring nations decided to follow their example and also rejected the Alliance. The leaders of the Alliance weren't pleased and had Milliardo's parents assasinated. Milliardo became enraged at the Alliance and had his heart set to revenge. In an attempt to strike back at the Alliance, he joined OZ to get closer to them and created a disguise he named 'Zechs Merquise' and wears a Gundanium alloy mask to hide his true identity.

Personality: Zechs is a naturally gifted pilot and graduate of OZ's Lake Victoria Academy. He has been given the title of 'emotionless' in combat, but in fact he's quite the opposite. His emotions are what guides him in combat, however these are also what messes him up. He has a tendancy to constantly question himself, but if the situation calls for it, he puts his personal feelings aside and goes for it. Naturally, because of his past, Zechs has a controlled hatred for the Earth Alliance and the people who murdered his parents and destroyed his kingdom. Because of his superior mobile suit abilities and loyalty to OZ, he is one of the most highly respected men in the organization. However, people of the Alliance usually try to keep a safe distance from him.

Mobile Suit of Choice: OZ Leo

Weapons: Old school pistol, rapier and scabbard

Strengths: Zechs's mobile suit skills are highly matched and has earned him the title of 'ace' within OZ. As also mentioned earlier, he has been keeping up on sword fighting since he was a child, and is also a terrific marksman. Also, his reputation in OZ can also be considered a strength, especially when he has men willing to do anything and even die for him.

Weaknesses: Zechs has no weaknesses! Har-har. As much as we would all love this to be true, it most surely is not. Zechs, like all people has weaknesses of his own. Zechs is a man seeking revenge, he hides it well, but it is true, as as such, he is vulnerable when he lets his anger get in the way. He is also a rather wishy-washy man when it comes to him collecting his emotions.

Future Plans: [edited to keep it a surprise, but it was very detailed]
