What is something you'd change about yourself?: I’d make myself stronger and more willing to stand up for what I believe in. I might also like to know what it is that creates my social problems so I could work on changing that…
What is something that annoys you most about other people?
What is something you'd change about the world? Get rid of cruel people who get a kick out of hurting others. They are the worst sort.
Hobbies & Talents:
Writing, watching anime, reading manga and comics. I love to read anything.
Favorite time of the year?: Spring
Mature or Immature?: Mature, though I have my immature moments
Leader or Follower?: Leader. Mostly. It depends on if I respect the leader enough to follow them.
Optimistic or Pessimistic?: I’m a pessimist. Though I know its not healthy…
Day or Night Person? hm….I’m not a the-dark-of-night-hide-in-shadows-a-la-Batman person, but night suits me more than day I think it makes me more comfortable
Social or more aloof? Aloof. More than I should be but it’s a habit I cant seem to kick.
Cynical or quick to believe what you're told? Cynical. Oh so very cynical.
Dreamer or realist? I like to pretend I’m a strict realist but really I’m a hopeless dreamer.
How do you react to stress? I get tight-lipped, serious and occasionally snappy.
How do you react when you're given extra responsibility? I try my best and take it on and want to ‘prove myself’. In general that ends with me making a prat of myself. But I get credit for trying…right?
You come across someone who's obviously in danger. Do you try to help them out, shrug it off and figure someone else will deal with it, or stick around but call for help? Stick around and try to help out. Though I’d call for help if it got completely life-threatening.
If you were in the Inheritance trilogy as a character, which side would you be on if any, and WHY?The good guys? Nope, being more specific I’d go with the Varden or anyone truly trying to bring down Galbatorix and/or reinstate the Dragon Riders, Galby’s got to be stopped.
Assuming for a moment that the color of a Rider's dragon reflects something about his or her personality, please go to this link
HERE and copy and paste the color and description you feel fits YOUR personality best and would be the color of your dragon if YOU were a Dragon Rider.
I’d like it to be green. I’m an earth orientated person and greens my favourite colour. But realistically I think my dragon would be purple.
Purple
Purple can represent royalty, spirituality, nobility, ceremony, mysterious, wisdom, enlightenment, cruelty, arrogance, and mourning.
*nods* It fits!
Give your thoughts on the following: Humans, dwarves, elves, Dragon Riders, Ra'zac, Urgals, and Shades.
Well. Humans are in everything. They are essential, but they screw up a lot. Its human nature. Dwarves…are dwarves. Sturdy and truculent in all my experiences of any fantasy novels. Elves are an amazing race, but far too aloof I think. Dragon Riders are the protectors, like superheroes. Ra’zac are a manifestation of Galbatorix’s evil, Urgals….intrigue and annoy me at the same time. Shades are bad. Very bad. No likey the shades.
Favorite quote & why?:
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it -George Bernard Shaw
I relate to it big time.
“Either do or do not” (Yoda)
You should be decisive. This really represents that. It makes me laugh that I have a Yoda quote, but…its true.
What are your goals and ambitions: To be successful and do something out of the ordinary. I want to do my best to be happy and make myself a better person.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?: University. Hopefully Cambridge, studying my arse off and hopefully persevering.
Anything else?:
What Hogwarts house do you identify with and WHY? (This question is entirely optional, but can be useful to further analyze your personality. That, and at least one of your mods might be insane. Humor us.)
….OK then. Ravenclaw perhaps? I’m intelligent. Sometimes I can be a little Slytherin-ish and rather cruel but generally I fit the Ravenclaw type.
How did you find this community?: I did an interest search
Any questions you'd wish to see included on this application?…not really. I was a little surprised there weren’t questions about what you think on characters or who’s your favourite as that’s a typical one, but its not a bad omission.
Pictures. Or a description of yourself.
No picture, sorry!
I’m 5”8 with brown hair down to my shoulders. Pale and slim, brown eyes too. That do?
