Personality: Snow Villiers can best be summed up by the phrase "well-meaning idiot". He's a man who always follows his heart, for better or worse, and everything he does is with the best of intentions - his determination to save Serah, his stubbornness in his attempts to gain Lightning's approval, and his overwhelming positivity and conviction for their mission to save the world. On the flip side, he stubborn and brash, and his apparent inability to give a moment's thought to his actions often places both himself and others in danger.
Vanille's narration gives her first opinion of Snow as being "All talk", and this is not an uncommon sentiment. If Snow isn't talking big, then he's probably asleep - he'll protect Serah (protect everyone), save the world, and find a future bright enough for them all to live in. His claims are huge and often outlandish, but Snow is not one for doing things halfheartedly; travel with him long enough, and his devotion becomes clear. Snow talks big, but he acts big to match, and wholeheartedly believes in every word that leaves his mouth. His extroverted nature shines in everything he does, from trying to befriend everyone he comes across to his overabundance of confidence in everything he does.
For all his apparent do-gooder nature, though, Snow well and truly subscribes to his own definition of a hero. He's the leader of a group called NORA, a name that literally stands for No Obligations, Rules or Authority, and frequently disobeys the local law enforcement to go monster hunting. Snow's first appearance in the game shows him rebelling against the purge orchestrated by PSICOM to save Serah and the other innocent citizens, something that serves to demonstrate both his willingness to charge into battle for others and his habit of ignoring the rules when they don't suit his purposes. Snow is far from a model law-abiding citizen, but it's all for the greater good - he fights for the rights of others, even if that means going against the rules from time to time.
A lot of Snow's bravado stems from his past, being raised in an orphanage with the friends he would later form NORA with. He's always been the one to look after those around him, a trait that's never really gone away; his life since meeting Serah has been devoted to protecting her, and it carries over to the main party too. By his canonpoint, Snow has found a makeshift family in the form of the rest of the cast - he's protective of Vanille and Hope like a big brother, and looks out for Fang and Lightning despite both ladies being well and truly able to handle themselves. Sazh calls him a kid despite his age, and that's quite accurate: Snow's been through a lot, but he's still incredibly naive in how he sees the world.
Snow isn't entirely incapable of self-reflection and deeper feelings, much as first impressions might say otherwise. He feels a constant sense of guilt over the death of innocents during the Purge, but he keeps this hidden under his usual bravado and attempts to atone by protecting everyone else as usual. Snow buries negative feelings until he's forced to confront them, something which results in others misinterpreting his intentions - Hope thought that Snow felt no remorse for the death of his mother, when in reality he had simply used the guilt as a driving force to protect everyone else. His confrontation with Hope proves to him that suppressing things isn't healthy, and after apologizing properly the two reconciled their differences.
In short, while he's definitely flawed and naive, Snow is an incredibly good person at heart. He's selfless, courageous, and wants nothing more than to be a hero for the sake of everyone around him, even if the sight of a 6'7" guy walking up to deliver a good-natured slap on the back probably frightens more people than it reassures.
Abilities: Annnd here's where things get fun. Out of the six roles available in FFXIII, Snow's strengths lie in the Sentinel, Ravager, and Commando specialties. Each character eventually gains some degree of mastery over all six, but suffice to say he won't be taking up a career as a Medic anytime soon.
As is obligatory for main Final Fantasy characters, Snow comes complete with a summon (or Eidolon, as they're known in FFXIII). Early in canon, he faces and defeats the twin sisters Shiva, allowing him to call on their aid in battle - both in humanoid and gestalt forms, the latter of which transforms the ice queens into a motorcycle for Snow to ride. The process of calling an Eidolon into battle tires him out quite a bit (TP takes a long while to recover in-game), so he can only use this ability infrequently.
Beyond that, he's your average video game tough-guy, with the highest HP in the game and a good pair of fists. He's built like a truck and deals damage to match, with or without his l'Cie abilities.
Other: Nope!

Third Person: ( reused third-person sample from exsilium )
Snow spends his first day in Exsilium drinking milkshakes and meeting new people.
Well, that's not entirely accurate. While he does make friends (and even drink a milkshake or two), he spends most of his time just wandering - he breaks up a fight in the marketplace, helps an old shopkeeper unpack his stock, and apologizes to the same guy for scaring off a customer with his sheer size and bulk. It isn't any different from back home, really, and the familiarity takes him by surprise; if he closes his eyes, he's back on Cocoon, shooting the breeze with Gadot and waiting until Serah could get away to join him.
But when night falls, he's still wide awake.
He rests, sure - goes to his room, shuts his eyes, tries not to pay attention to the fact the bed is almost a foot too short for him to fit comfortably. Here, with only four walls and stale air, there's nothing to prove, and even someone as confident as Snow has to stop and think from time to time. The burden of their Focus is a heavy one, and it's the hero's responsibility to look after everyone else: he doesn't want to let the group down.
He pulls the crystal tear from his pocket - it shimmers when he holds it up to the light, something that never fails to make him smile; a reminder that he's making Serah proud, even in a place so far from home. The others might not be here, but that's okay - he'll play along for now, until he can guarantee the safety of every person he met today, and then Barthandelus will fall just the same.
Snow has his own world to protect, but these people need a hero too - fortunately for them, they've found one.
OTHER Housing Request?: Nothing set in stone, but if the Serah reserve apps it'd be cool if they could be together! Did you read the rules and FAQ?: Yep! Would you like your application to be unscreened?: Go ahead.
