The title is pretty self explanatory. I'm just curious about how different people view the characters, and by choosing a small number of words to describe them you really have to think about what you say.
Instructions: - Choose a character (or more than one) - List 5 words (or a similar number) - Explain why you have chosen those words. Feel free to redo any that have already been done!
I'll start, but feel free to add anything or suggest alternatives to what I have said.
Kadaj: - Evil - He often takes the cruelest route to achieve something, even though he could have done it more easily. As a result he seems to set out to cause distruction for his own entertainment. - Manipulative - Kadaj often uses others for his own gains, as is shown by his treatment of the children. However, though he acts badly, he does it because he believes it will lead to the Reunion, something which he feels must happen. - Obsessive - He is obsessed and driven single-mindedly for his desire for reunion, and through it his chance to find his mother, and that means he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. - Leader - Though he is the youngest of the remenants, he is the most confident speaker, and as such he takes control of the group. - Lost - Despite all his strength and confidence, there always seemed to be something very lonely and helpless about him. He doesnt seem to have had any guidance and has been left to find his own way in the world. I felt it showed both in the way he treats the children (encouraging them to copy him and seeking their support in a way) and in his death. (But this could just be me being determined to see him as not entirely bad). At least he found a mother in the end.

Reno in 5!
Cocky ---> He's a fast talker, and he doesn't care that he gets on people's nerves.
Hot-tempered ---> Furious temper that flares up at any time.
Loyal ---> I envision him to be fiercely loyal to his fellow Turks and the few values he has left.
Crude ---> the sad fact about him. He's got this crude sense of humour that gets to me sometimes.
Passionate ---> Cos what he does, he does well.
Simple as that.

Tifa!
Maternal ---> She will look after a child even though it he/she is nothing to her and she will protect the kid at all costs.
Strong ---> She can decimate any enemy with her fists. She's also the rock of the group; strong in two senses; physical and mentally.
Busy ---> She runs a bar, a household, a family, and helped set up The Strife Delivery Service, all whilst keeping an eye on two young kids and tabs on all her friends.
Musical ---> She plays the piano; I am so envious of that!
Weak ---> She's also weak in one singular aspect; Cloud. I love her for that vulnerability.
And those are my five words and reasons. ;D

Reeve! (y'all know this was coming) Nerd: He builds robots. Robots that can spy on people and even possibly maim them. Smart*ss: Gya Haa Haa and Kya Haa Haa. He made fun of his fellow co-workers. 'Nuff said. Political: Commissioner of the WRO. He's trying to regain the citizens trust and he's trying to do it honestly! Whoa! Wise: He's 38 in DoC. With age comes wisdom and in Reeve's case, it's obviously a true idiom. He knows exactly what he's talking about, what he wants done, and why he wants it that way. Overworked: He is running an entire company. He must deal with operatives, board meetings, not to mention both Vincent and Yuffie as employees. That's gotta wear a man down. Thank you for my rambling.

Angeal. Loyal - even though it was tearing him apart, he still tried to be as loyal as he possible could. To his friends, his family, his pupil, and to ShinRa. Dreams - do I really need to expand on this one? Friendship - One friend flew away, the other stayed firmly where he was, and he was left in the middle. Trying to maintain what little friendship which was left between the three of them. With Genesis pulling further and further away, Sephiroth trying to both protect them and find an answer - what else was he supposed to do, betray one of them? Or just take himself out of the equation like he did? Hatred - the hatred for what he was, a monster. The hatred of knowing what he was, the hatred of knowing his father had made him what he was, and the hatred of having to accept that. Protective - eventhough he was his mentor and instructor, Angeal still felt protective over Zack. Knowing his limits and skills and knowing when he wasn't using them to their full extent. And knowing that unlike him - Zack had someone waiting for him.

Awww, I thought it was going to be something like "Cid - swears too much, likes tea." I don't think I could go into a dissertation about him right now. I will give the idea some thought.

Nero the Sable! <3333 Dark- Uhm, aside from the obvious hair, clothes, enviornment and name? His title means black. Refined- He makes various references to waltzing and speaks in the most poetic manner I've ever heard/read. Dangerous- He has guns on wings, which also have blades attached to them, plus a void that sucked in his mother. Do not toy with that man. Tragic- See above comment on his mommy. Caring- He had to have given quite a care about Weiss in order to go through the whole "Insert Omega Here" process of killing millions of people.

YUFFIE. Cheerful - duh. Childish - "HUH? YOU MEAN HE'S AN INSECT?" Mature - Contradictory, but that's the point - a walking oxymoron. Head of the WRO's Intelligence Department, no small feat. Leadership - did you not see her at the beginning of DoC? She's ready to run a country, baby. Loyalty - depends on who you ask. Still there, though. EXTRA BONUS DRUMROLLPLZ: ...Kleptomaniac! w00t!

Godo! Oh, yeah. I'm going this route. Traditional: He really wishes his daughter was all humble and obediant. Lonely: He's been a widower for how long now? Loving: Yuffie said she was worried about him in DoC. I think they made up somewhere along the way. Figurehead: He rules Wutai, but the debate is how much power he really has. Fighter: Hey, fought his own kid! He lost, but that's beside the point. This was kinda hard, so cut me some slack, 'kay?

As a Zack-fanatic of course I had to go there. Optimistic: Even though so much happened to him, he always seemed to have a goofy smile on his face at some point or another. Loyal: He carried a comatose kid around for like, a year. How much more proof do you need? Puppy: His enthusiasm and energy is just so contagious! Give him a little attention and it's like a reward! Dependable: He always got the job done, no matter what he felt about the situation. Hint: Angeal! Sweet: The way he treated aerith was just d'awww-worthy (even their awkward silences seemed to say something). He attempted, (key: attempted) to be kind to Yuffie and always rushed to help her, even if she might be tricking him. In junon, there's this awkward lil moment where he fumbles with words and seems to wanna say something significant to Sephiroth ("I missed you", maybe?)

Genesis:
-Redemptive: End of DoC, coming back, stating there is much work to do. In CC he is rejected by the Goddess and wants to come back to save the world, apparently. -Poised: His mannerisms is very elegant. He has a way of holding himself that is so Generalesque, and freaking brilliant. -Poetic: Give me a character who can recite poetry from memory (not to mention drill it into Sephiroth's head) and you've got an awesome character. -Lonely: He is dying, all of his friends are dead, and the entire idea of Crisis Core was for him to find the gift of the Goddess, something that will always be with him. -Anti-Hero: Do I need to explain this? He always blamed Sephiroth for being the hero, and was always placed in a different league to the man. He wanted to be a hero so badly he was willing to sacrifice everything.
Man, I love me some Genesis. He really is a cool character... Maybe not my favorite, but close.
