Personnel File Opt-In
Harold managed to make a copy of the hospital's personnel files before Aurora deleted them. (IC reference: log where this took place.)
Per mod description, "These files contain their names, height, and weight as of first arrival in Etraya - a basic health profile, built before they woke up. They also contain a summary overview of their personalities, likes, fears, those who are important to them, and those they dislike."
This only applies to characters accepted in the January 2025 app round or earlier and it is strictly opt-in. If you don't want Harold to have your character's personnel file, that's totally fine! I'll just say he missed it somehow!
Harold is not at all likely to share any of this information publicly, or even to let on that he has it, but it will subtly inform his interactions with those characters. And he may provide some of this to his associates (Reese, Shaw, potentially Carver(?)) to assist them as needed. Generally though he's very circumspect with his intel.
If you'd like to opt-in, please complete the below -- and if you filled this out for Connor already feel free to link to it instead!

no subject
Opt-in to Harold having a copy of their file: Y!
What would be in their file?
Gender: Male
Species: Enhanced Human
Age: 21
DOB: εγλ August 11, 1986
Height: 5'7"
Weight: (I don't know how to estimate this, but he's heavier than he should be and it's all dense muscle mass; without the mako enhancements, he'd be practically a waif.)
Hair (color): Blond
Eye (color): Blue, with a green-tinged glow from the mako
Rank: SOLDIER First Class...sort of
Affiliation: SOLDIER (sort of), AVALANCHE (a rebel faction of ecoterrorists seeking to stop Shinra's destruction of the planet's resources)
Basic Health Profile: Physically in tip-top shape. Mentally a dumpster fire. Immunity to mundane poisons, illnesses, etc. thanks to his supersoldier enhancements. Used to suffer from severe motion sickness, but it's currently suppressed due to his fractured psyche.
Personality: Layered and inconsistent, due to his original memories getting buried by and jumbled up with someone else's. As a young teenager, he was shy and had a hard time making friends. He was also - as a shopkeeper once described him - a "punk-ass little shit," which didn't help. His self-esteem was poor to start with and continued to plummet due to repeated failures, despite the fact that objectively he was extremely competent.
[Between the ages of 16-21, no data exists.]
Current personality is the haphazard combination of his own and the individual's whose memories he acquired. Confident, sometimes to the point of arrogance, but competent enough to back it up. Guarded, somewhat antisocial but also lonely, terrible at asking for help or confiding in others. Performs extremely well under pressure or in a crisis, but is very hard on himself. Surprisingly supportive of others despite his apathetic act. Deeply compassionate and empathetic, but tries not to show it. When bits of the "real" or original Cloud shine through the SOLDIER persona, he's still shy and gets self-conscious easily, and has been described as a "lovable doofus" - kind, socially awkward, sensitive, somewhat emotionally immature. Also still a little shit, full of sass and sarcasm. Has a secret desire to be respected and accepted, to feel like he belongs somewhere, and for people to think he's cool and a badass. Has recently learned to open up a little and accept that maybe it's okay to have fun and feel feelings once in a while.
Likes: healthy competition, sports, games, racing, the thrill of a good fight, his sword, animals, playing piano, motorcycles, being useful/helpful
Fears: Sephiroth. Hurting or failing to save someone he cares about. The memory gaps and inconsistencies that make him think there's something very wrong with him. Degradation due to mako treatments.
Important people: Aerith Gainsborough (maybe deceased?), Sephiroth (maybe deceased?), Zack Fair (deceased), Claudia Strife (deceased), Tifa Lockhart, Barret Wallace, Yuffie Kisaragi, Nanaki
Addendum: Izuku "Deku" Midoriya, Rufus Shinra, Sephiroth (teenage version)
Dislikes: Shellfish. Roche, SOLDIER Third Class. Professor Hojo. Sephiroth. The Turks. Shinra. Anyone who takes advantage of those who can't defend themselves.
