Follow the naming conventions. Also, you'll learn that members like this 
should be 'private' with methods to get ('getName()') and set ('setName()') 
the attributes.

Parallel arrays are not the data structure you should use. The correlation 
between these arrays and their meanings are not enforced. A class is supposed 
to collect correlated information. Also, follow the Java naming conventions.

So:

public class RandomFigure 
{
  private String name; 
  private int point; 
  private int assisting; 
  private int help; 
  private int helpStillYet; 
  private int stillThere; 

  public RandomFigure( String name, int point, int assisting, int help, 
                        int helpStillYet, int stillThere )
  {
    this.name = name; 
    this.point = point; 
    this.assisting = assisting; 
    this.help = help; 
    this.helpStillYet = helpStillYet; 
    this.stillThere = stillThere; 
  }
    ... // getXxx() and setXxx() methods
}

Then you can have an array of these correlated attribute things:

  RandomFigure [] figures = new RandomFigure [160]; // or whatever magic number
  RandomFigure [0] = 
    new RandomFigure( "Cyprien Esenwein", 150, -1, -1, -1, -1);
etc.

Just a start.
