The Application
[Character] Bradley Crawford
[Age] 27
[Canon] Weiss Kreuz Capatel
[Point of time in canon from which the character is taken] Sometime before or during the Farfarello episode, where it was mostly farf-centric. So, who knows what Brad and the rest of Schwarz were doing while he was on his killing spree?
[Background info]
Brad Crawford is the leader of Schwarz (an assassination group consisting of four members: Brad, Schuldig, Farfarello and Nagi), and has precognitive powers. There isn’t much of a background story on him previous to the Capatel series. As the leader of Schwarz, he is following the orders of the elders in a mysterious organization called “Estet”, but apparently seems to have an agenda of his own. The other members of Schwarz are in with Brad’s plan as well, making it clear to the elders that they weren’t interested in their goals of reviving an ancient deity of eternal youth and power. He went through a lot with Schwarz, trying to reach their “goal” that is never stated or implied or anything in the anime.
[Personality]
Crawford is a calm gentleman on the outside, seemingly intelligent and pleasant in nature. He does have a sarcastic edge, usually holding a ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude when he speaks, but is never directly rude to anyone. Except Schuldig, maybe. He is incredibly ambitious when it comes to accomplishing his goals and will use any dirty method to achieve it (as long as it’s not degrading, of course. You’ve got to look good doing it). Brad can also be short-tempered, depending on the situation (like Nagi’s little conquest for love) but is over-all a calm, collected professional.
[Abilities]
He has precognitive abilities, being able to see into the future in short flashes or “visions”. He doesn’t choose to see what he wants to see, but he sees enough to foil Weiss’s plans most of the time and sometimes he can even see scenes that are about to happen while he’s fighting which gives him a great advantage. His hand-to-hand combat skills are good enough, but paired with his excellent reflexes, he makes out to be a formidable fighter which make them his first weapon of choice. He is also adept with a gun, usually his second weapon of choice.
[Other important facts]
Nothing really. He carries a gun with him everywhere, he dresses sharply, etc.
[Sample post]
It’s not entirely impossible that what I had just seen was just a dream. My visions are never wrong, however, so I can be assured that this is most definitely my destination… however unfortunate this may seem. There’s never any room for doubt in my mind, for that leads to hesitation, and those are qualities that shouldn’t be found in a leader. Yet I cannot shake off the feeling that this multicolored fowl is trying to communicate with me.
“Application form for Last Stop Gakuen transfer students:“…?
My, a school. That certainly takes me back.
Name? Brad Crawford
Age? …old enough.

I’d hit that: Clarify “that”, and once you’ve finished hitting it, I will return the favor.
They’re taking the hobbits to Isengard! But of course, we all know how that turned out.
