Short little summaries...with some minor spoilers...

Cid Highwind
Age: 32
Height: 5'8
Birthday: February 22
Blood Type: B

Cid's the greatest pilot. Ever. No one can even compare. His greatest dream was to go into outer space, which was originally ruined unintentionally by Shera, but was fulfilled later on the game. He's the owner of the Highwind. Foul-mouthed and a chronic smoker, Cid doesn't get along well with other people.

Vincent Valentine
Age: 27 (I would assume physically, since there's no way he's that young. I'd say somewhere around his fifties. But I think he's unchanged due to his long sleep)
Height: 6'0
Birthday: October 13th
Blood Type: A

Vincent used to be a Turk. While watching an operation that Prof. Hojo and a woman named Lucrecia were doing, he fell in love with Lucrecia. Unfortunately for him, Hojo had plans for Lucrecia and impregnated her so as to use her child for his experiments. Vincent, upset by this, tried to protest and was shot. Hojo took this opportunity to do some rather nasty things to Vincent's body, which, so I would assume, include giving him that claw, altering his genetic aging process, and (in my opinion) fracturing him into five different people: Vincent, Galian Beast, Death Gigas, Hellmasker, and Chaos. Vincent thinks that everything that happened is directly his fault, is generally moody and poetically depressed, and dislikes talking to other people due to his intense dislike of himself.

And now, just fer da heck of it, how da two react ta eachother when they meet in da game.

When Vincent meets Cid (thankfully obtained by Soshi, flerpdederp)

Vin: ...To wake me from the nightmare
(coffin lid flies off) Who is it?
Vin sits: ...never seen you before. You must leave.
Cloud shrugs: You were having a nightmare.
Cid: The air's pretty heavy here.
How can you sleep in a place like this?
Vin: Hmph...a nightmare?
My long sleep has given me time to atone.
Cloud: What are you saying?
Vin: I have nothing to say to strangers.
Get out.
This mansion is the beginning of your nightmare.
Cloud lowers his head: ...You can say that again.
Vin: Hmm? What do you know?
(chose 'talk about Sephiroth')
Cloud motions forward: Like you said, this mansion is the beginning of a nightmare.
Cloud shakes his head: No, it's not a dream, it's for real.
Sephiroth has lost his mind. He found the secrets hidden in the mansion...
Vin: Sephiroth!?
Cloud motions aggressively: You know Sephiroth?
Vin (at the same time as Cloud): You know Sephiroth?
Vin does fly tappa-tappa swoo tappa thing- stands on coffin's edge: You start first.
(Cloud tells the story thus far)
Cloud:...That's how it was (he motions)
Vin: So Sephiroth knows he was created five years ago?[my note- vin's sense of time is warped, obviously. sephs slightly older than five, i thiiiiink]
And about the Jenova project?
...He was missing, but has recently reappeared.
He has taken many lives and is seeking the Promised Land.
Cloud motions forward: Now it's your turn.
Vin: Sorry...I cannot speak.
Cid: Good! I'm not in the mood to hear long stories.
Let's get the hell outta here!
Vin hops into coffin: Hearing your stories, [yes misplaced comma] has added upon me yet another sin.
More nightmares shall come to me now, more than I previously had. Vin sits down: Now...please leave.
(lid flies on, party joins up)
(leave room, return, poke coffin. Lid flies off, Vin sits up.)
Vin: ...You're still here.
(chose 'who are you?')
Cloud: At least tell us your name.
Vin: I was with...the Shinra Maanufacturing Department in Administration Research, otherwise known as...the Turks.
(select name. i kept Vincent.)
Vincent.
Cloud, shocked: The Turks!?
Vin: Formerly of the Turks.
I have no affiliation with Shinra now.
...And you?
Cloud motions proudly: (name), formerly of SOLDIER.
Vin: You were also with Shinra...?
Then do you know Lucrecia?
Cloud: Who?
Vin: .........Lucrecia.
Cloud shakes his head
Vin: The woman who gave birth to Sephiroth.
Cloud shrugs: ....gave birth...?
Wasn't Jenova Sephiroth's mother?
Vin: That isn't completely wrong, but just a theory.
He was born from a beautiful lady.
That lady was Lucrecia.
She was an assistant to Professor Gast of the Jenova Project.
Beautiful....Lucrecia.
Cloud shakes his head: ...A human experiment?
Vin: There was no way to cancel the experiment.
I couldn't stop her.
That was my sin.
I let the one I loved, the one I respected the most, face the worst.
Cid: You shouldn't sleep just because of that. Sleep?
(Vin lies back down, coffin lid flies back on.)
(poke coffin)
Vin: Let me sleep...
(left screen, came back, cause im talented.)
Vin: Let me sleep...
(attempted to leave, Vin caught up in the hall)
Vin: Wait!
If I go with you will I meet Hojo?
Cloud shrugs: Dunno.
But we're after him and Sephiroth.
So, I guess sooner or later...
Vin does dramatic chibi cape sweep: Lucrecia...
Vin turns around just as chibi-dramatic: All right.
I've decided to go with you.
Cid: Hey, hold on sleepy. You're pretty damn pushy!
Vin: Being a former Turks [yes Turks. YAY ENGRISH], I may be of help to you...
Cloud nods: All right, then.
(team joins up, enter the vin)

And when Cid meets Vincent.

Vincent: ::hops up on the Tiny Bronco:: It's not going to stop...
Cloud: Forget it! Get in!!
Barret: ::jumps, grabs onto the wing, barely::
Cid: ::runs after, grabs onto tail:: @&#%! The tails been hit!
Cloud: Emergency landing...
Cid: This's gonna be a big splash! Hold onto your drawers and don't piss in 'em!

~Ocean Cid: ::leaning down, dragging finger in the water:: She won't fly anymore.
(Note: Vincent is sitting in a very cute way.)
Cloud: Can't we use it as a boat?
Cid: $#&%! Do whatever you want!
Cloud: Cid, what are you going to do now?
Cid: Dunno. I'm history with the Shinra and I've given up on the town.
Cloud: How 'bout your wife? How 'bout Shera?
Cid: Wife? Don't make me laugh! Just thinkin' 'bout marryin' her gives me the chills. What're you guys gonna do?
Cloud: We're going after a man named Sephiroth. We'll have to get Rufus of the Shinra someday too.
Cid: I don't know about any of that, but...::stands:: What the #$%&!? Sign me up!
Cloud: How 'bout it, everyone?
Vincent: ::looks over:: ...Do whatever you like. (He's so cute when he turns and looks over!)
Cid: ::looks around:: Glad to be aboard, numbskulls!
Cloud: Numskulls...?
Cid: Yeah. Anyone stupid enough to go up aginst the Shinra nowadays, has GOTTA be a numskull! I like it! ::shrugs:: So, where we headed? Rufus was goin' after Sephiroth towards the Temple of the Ancients.
Cloud: Really!? ...Where is it? That Temple of the Ancients?
Cid: Dunno. That numskull kid was tellin' me he was headin "the wrong direction"...so maybe it's off this way?
Cloud: Let's just head for land and get some information. Temple of the Ancients...that name bothers me.

Tadah.
