Ooooooooh. Now this seems fun. I can definitely do something neat with this. As for setting detail, I think you're doing a good job with it! I agree that for one-shots with a freeform system, too much detail in terms of crunch and detail would be detrimental.
That said, this particular one is an idea I'd LOVE to see become a full campaign: an RPG built around fun characters going around and doing Stupidly Cool Things is something I'd adore.

Name: Lelani Callahan Age: 16 Description: A half-Hawaiian, half-Irish girl, the child of a pair of American shipping executives; dark skin, bright green eyes, wavy, neck-length dark blue hair(she had it permanently nano-dyed to piss off her mom), chubby-cute and extra-curvy. Dream: "Man, that's REALLY hard. Ummm. I guess I like the idea of being the first person to do something nobody's ever tried. Like... not even something I'd get famous for, just something completely new. Like, maybe farming sheep on the moon? Just something new." Skillz: "Oh, well, I'm really good at airboarding! Yeah, good at that. Ummm... oh yeah, I'm a good listener. Oh, and I'm way cute. Like, seriously, you can't even NOT hug me, I'm that adorable. And I'm good at falling without hurting myself! Yeah, that's like my best skill. I sorta sing sometimes too but mostly I just hum stuff. I guess I have money but that's not really a skill." Fail: "Oh, ugh, I am so bad at driving. It's honestly frightening. I am probably safer being fired out of a cannon than behind the wheel of a vehicle. I'm kinda bad at knowing when to stop eating, too... or when I'm being too loud. I probably should be way less loud."
Lelani isn't really a thrillseeker so much as she is a fun-seeker. She'll do just about anything if she can be convinced it would feel good, look cool, or otherwise be a good time. She's base-jumped, done cliff-diving, attempted(and failed) to grind over suspension bridges: she also loves to eat, loves to talk, and loves to kiss strangers, mostly because nobody really expects a cute girl to kiss them.
She's not particularly close to her family: they leave her alone, and she leaves them alone, and they're both happy not to know anything about what the other is doing. Wealthy enough to not have to worry about anything in particular, but she doesn't really care about buying anything other than food so she doesn't come off as obnoxious. She loves buying stuff for friends, mostly because seeing other people happy makes her happy. And it's a good excuse to possibly make out with them.
Oh, and she really adores jumping off tall stuff. Not only because she likes falling, she also REALLY likes it when her safety bubble deploys and she gets all tightly padded and round and she can bounce off stuff. Like, 'gets off on it' likes it. She hates it when people bring it up, though, because it makes her get funny looks from people when she blushes.
EDIT: minor edits for spelling error, content alteration, etc.. (Also, I'm allowed to insert my kinks into something when you give me a completely obvious outlet. ^___^ )
Yay, again! These characters are great. I found another player alsooo... hmmm, I'm not sure what times exactly I'm going to be free over this weekend, but definitely next week, I will be around, in irc://irc.lunarnet.org/6667 #wushu, mostly around 3pm-5pm roughly EST. If you're free, we'll play! :)
