All parts of the application must be your own work, plagiarism will not be tolerated, though you are welcome to reuse your own old applications.
If you are asked for revisions, please don't panic! It doesn't mean the mods don't like you, only that we probably need more information before making a decision. If you are asked for revisions, you will have one week to supply them.
Every attempt will be made to place a character in their chosen apartments, though this may not always be possible depending on the slots available.

Terra Bradford | FF6/Dissidia (Not Reserved) | 3/4
Abilities: As an esper, and having been trained as a biological weapon, Terra can be quite strong both physically and magically. Her mind may not recall the training, but her body does, so much of the fighting is done on automatic. Her preferred weapon is a sword, but she can also use maces (like flails and morning stars) and daggers. As for armor, Terra has and needs very little; her clothing consists of what looks like the outfit a harem girl might wear, being a minidress and leggings, (or variations thereof) with only armor on her shoulders.
Limit Break (Riot Blade): Terra performs this move by swinging her sword in an swiping (arc like) up-down pattern once. This results in sending five glowing green crescent-shaped blades towards her enemy. The damage that each of the energy-like crescent blades causes is variable, pending consent of the opponent or the situation, and there is no guarantee that all five will even hit.
Magic:
In addition to her physical abilities, she has a number of magical spells at her disposal. The majority of her spells are offensive healing, but she also possesses less powerful spells that aren't particularly for battle, or exactly support. To list a few, her FF6 spells available are Fira, Cura, and Antidote. She has a few stronger spells (Dissidia) which would eventually be unlocked, such as Blizzara, Graviga, Thundara, Flood, and Tornado.
Esper: Terra, being who and what she is, as the offspring of an Esper and a Human, has the additional ability of transforming into her Esper form - a female, humanoid beast covered in flames and pink fuzziness. Being half esper, she can - with permission - sense the presence of other espers. She also tends to be more feral when in her esper form, and has the ability to connect with other espers or their cultural equivalent (given permission of course.) In this form she has the ability to fly, and is hardier and stronger than her human form. In addition to this, her reflexes and speed increase, as well as her senses - sight, smell, hearing; all that good stuff.
Given her otherworldy nature, Terra in both forms, is capable of seeing some things that normal humans can't, such as spirits - and can feel the presence of monsters and allies alike, being more in tune with the world around her. Unfortunately it also sort of makes her more susceptible to the things that will effect animals, such as high pitched sounds and smells. In further detail to what is mentioned earlier, Terra is capable to synchronize with, or feel the mind of other espers (or the cultural equivalent given permission) and can speak with them ( again with player consent - be they physically there, in spirit or in memory depending on culture) for as long as they allow.
Lastly is more of a downside to being an esper like Terra; the Power Flare. This is basically what happens when Terra loses control of her powers, usually as a direct result of emotional distress. Best description of it would be akin to a power/force blast that damages the surrounding area, or a force wave that would effectively shove anyone around her -away-. (Further in theory, those capable of junctioning with espers/eidolons/GFs have the ability to do the same with Terra, if they become aware of her nature, and provided permission is given by mods and it's worked out ahead of time. )
Strengths: Though for the most part Terra resembles a normal - if strange - human girl, her Esper heritage grants her a greater amount of strength both physically and magically. This isn't to say that she is so strong she can bench press a car or nuke the world - it just gives her that extra -oomph- or edge she might need against an opponent that would be stronger for a normal human.
Weaknesses: Espers were creatures of magic, and as such Terra's own magic feeds off of her energy - or more to the point, each time she casts a spell she gets a little more tired. Depending on which spell she's casting, and if she's doing anything else at the time, depends on exactly how tired she gets. Wielding her magic is relatively equal to how she wields her sword - if she's doing both at the same time, she runs out of reserves for her magic much more quickly, whereas she can still fight physically as long as she's still conscious. Once her energy reserves for her magic is depleted, she can't cast anything again until she rests, or at least drinks an ether.
Items/Weapons: Maduin's Pendant, Her Sword, and an inactive Slave Crown(which will probably never come into play but you never know!)

Sample Entry: (Taken from where I played her else game - if I need to come up with something else I can though!) Link! and Link!
Sample Entry Two:
RP Sample: It wasn't often that Terra took her hair out of its ponytail, but sometimes, even her hair got tangled. Thick with enough of a wave to give it a slightly curly appearance, her green hair reached the middle of her back when left down. She rested the Ribbon on the ground beside her, her thoughts elsewhere as she ran a comb through her hair.
When the bluebird alighted on a stump a short distance away, she found it endearing. She'd always felt closer to animals and monsters than she did normal people for some reason. "Hello there." She greeted the bird, continuing to brush her hair, though more slowly so as not to startle it to flying away.
The bird cocked its head at her and chirped, hopping to the ground with a flutter of wings. She blinked in surprise, lowering her hands to her knees, watching in fascination as the bird made tentative little hops towards her. "My you're a bold one, aren't you?" The bird ignored her, pecking at the ground, but hopping ever closer. After a few more half-hearted pecks, the bird fluttered up to perch on the back of her hand, tilting its head with another chirp.
Terra giggled, "Do you want to be friends?" The bird fluttered to the ground next to her, and hopped over to the ribbon, pecking it curiously. "Hey, that's not -" Terra's warning came too short as the bird took the ribbon in its beak and fluttered away. She stared after it, stunned, and promptly jumped up to see where it had gone.
Thankfully, it didn't go far - it had been building a nest in the branches above her. With an annoyed frown, Terra unhooked her sword and set about climbing up into the branches. Yet when she reached the nest, startling the mama bird that proceeded to chirp angrily at her, wings flapping in her face, Terra paused. One hand fended off the bird with some difficulty, until she was forced to jump down again. The ribbon had been thoroughly woven into the nest at that point - really, it wasn't so great a sacrifice that she couldn't go into town and get another.
She sighed, shaking her head. She had really liked that ribbon.
Alternate RP Sample: (Providing two if that's ok to show both her cheery side and her uncertain side because I love these. :D)
Joy. Fear. Excitement. Anger. Love.
They were all things that Terra didn't truly know, or understand - the last one most of all. She didn't understand why people risked so much because they 'loved' others. How could she? She didn't know what those emotions even were. Ever since she was released from the Slave Crown's hold on her, everything had been ripped away with its influence.
No, that wasn't quite right. Her memories were ripped away from the moment that crown had been placed on her head. From the very beginning she didn't know what freedom was, what happiness felt like. Had she? The only thing she was familiar with, even now, was the nervous anxiety that surrounded her entire being.
More than that, there was a power within her - a power she didn't understand, a great power that frightened her, because she often had dreams where someone appeared to be trying to talk to her. Dreams of fire, and an untamed ferocity not unlike a wild beast - men screaming as they fell by a blade - her own hands covered in blood, and the haunting cackle of a man...
But for all of that, when it came down to it, she didn't know who she was. She didn't know WHERE she was. She didn't know... anything. She might have been able to cope better with those horrible dreams, and ... and she wasn't sure what those images were - memories or nightmares - if she only knew who she was. But here, she saw no familiar faces... although in a way that was a relief, for if it had been HIS face. The face of that painted man who haunted her dreams, who had come to Figaro Castle to reclaim her - whose shrill, malicious laughter made her curl into the fetal position with her hands over her head, shaking --
Fear! That was how she felt when she thought of him. She felt afraid. But she didn't like feeling such fear. She wanted to experience the emotions that her friends told her about. She longed to smile with happiness, to cry out in joy, to laugh excitedly - but how? Surely there was some way to discover these emotions, as surely as it would be to find out who - what - she was. Even if it was alone.
