Here is an example of what a 'standard' application would look like in my terms, if you feel that it is too much, PM me about it and ask if I can tone it down a bit to your tastes, I will gladly do that.
General Info
Name: Serena Manaria
Nickname: N/A
Age: 16
Gender: Female.
Ethnicity: Serena is German.
Sexuality: Serena isn't too sure of her sexuality, she believes that when the right person comes, then they come. It's just that. You could say she's Pansexual.
Hometown: She comes from Wall Maria, Shiganshina District. She lived in a small cottage-like house that was the same color as nearly every other house, but her mother and father painted it white to represent serenity, which was where her name 'Serena' came from.
Graduate to: She graduated to become a Garrison member, she wants to help with the walls and not let any Titans inside the walls, and if they do happen to get through, she'll try to get them out with her best efforts.
Personality: Serena is a straight-to-the-point kind of girl. She gets the job done, is respectful, and polite to whomever she meets. With this, she can also happen to be quite blunt, thus speaking her mind whenever something happens to run across it. Due to this, she can be considered as 'mean', 'rude', or even 'annoying'. She can not make much friends because of this and prefers to be alone. She emits a cheerful yet, lonely aura which usually spikes curiosity from those around her. If people do manage to see past her blunt side, she'll actually be amazingly helpful and kind to them.
Background: Serena grew up in Wall Maria, Shiganshina District with her mother, father, and younger brother. She never knew of Titans for a long, long time. But we'll get to that stuff later. You see, at 11 years old, Serena was outside, running errands for her father when the Colossal Titan attacked. She was delivering parcels when she happened to run across a member of the Garrison, so far they seemed like the nicest ones out of all three squads, and she soon began to admire them. After delivering the parcels, she made her way to her own house. Where she met one of her best friends to this day(one of the other OCs). She made small conversation before continuing her way to her house, located almost directly in front of the wall.
She heard rumbling from underneath her feet, and befuddled, Serena looked around. Only to see others looking up as well. She followed their gaze and was the first to make a noise. A scream. It was a Titan, peering over the walls. It looked down gloomily upon them. Before they knew what was happening, the wall exploded with smoke and people ran, terrified. Serena stood in place, horrified. A voice screamed her name and she looked over slowly, just in time to see her father about to get crushed by an enormous rock. She ran towards him with tears in her eyes and came to an abrupt stop, as the rock had crushed him and killed him instantly.
After the attack, the only survivors out of her family was her mother, who experienced no harm due to being at the market furthest away from the wall's breaching. Nobody knows about her brother though..
Appearance: Serena has platinum blonde hair that is usually styled into a clean bun, so it doesn't get in her way. When she relaxes, she lets it down into it's natural waves. To compliment her hair, her eyes are a dark forest green, with a small hint of hazel in the middle. When she looks at people while trying to analyze them, it seems as if the hazel in her eyes have disappeared. She has somewhat pale skin with light freckles dotted on her nose and cheeks, but in small amounts. Serena usually wears an over-sized red sweater and blue track pants when relaxing.

Jeremiah(Father), Deceased, Aged 36, Messenger for the Garrison.
