I got soul, but I'm not a soldier...
Name/Nickname: Blue.
Age: Teens.
Likes: The arts, accomplishment, jackets, boots, scarves and bandannas, loud music (Garbage is my favorite band as anyone who knows me in person will tell you since I never let anyone forget it ((XP)), I'm also fond of MCR, AFI, Mindless Self Indulgence, Pink Floyd, the Killers, Radiohead, the Gorillaz, Queen, Billy Talent, Tegan and Sara, and the Shiny Toy Guns among others), ambient light, leisure time spent alone or with close friends, tea, coffee, spiders, being able to show off a little bit, nice long car rides with nice loud radio or an iPod, headphones, cool weather, rain, fireworks.
Dislikes: Tedious/dull work, noise pollution, obnoxiousness, screwing up, being pressured, harsh light, unconstructive criticism, people who can't seem to stop stalling, being patronized, invasion of privacy/personal space, being tested (for the record, my paranoid nature leads me to take things as challenges somewhat unnecessarily, which is why it's not italicized), interruption, knowing fully well when others have what I want, being ignored or not heard out.
Talents/hobbies: Writing, sketching, painting, and to a lesser extent at this point theater, cosplay, and dancing. I've always liked video games (horror's been shaping up to be my genre of choice for most mediums) as well as music, and I'm trying to learn bass for the sake of my friends' band.
Strong points: I'm a talented actress, for one thing. I'm very intelligent, able to think complex things through, solve puzzles, and get very creative. Intense and endless loyalty and trustworthiness to those I think deserve it, ambition, willingness to keep secrets, giving things my all when they matter to me, willingness to stick up for myself and anyone I like or anything I feel strongly about, a sort of allure or charisma among certain kinds of people (I didn't make any of my friends myself, they came to me, and my mother and a couple of friends insist that I'm an egg/M&M/insert metaphor here - for all my ambiguous exterior, they say I'm quite charming and genial around people I warm up to and a marshmallow towards those I luuuv).
Weaker points: Narcissism, self-centeredness, vanity, lack of an attention span, a ridiculously short temper, massive mood changes if a weak point is hit (at times I can just sort of snap no matter who's around), stubbornness and being fiercely opinionated, excessive cynicism, tendencies to creep people who aren't strangely drawn to me out or intimidate them, inability to get or stay motivated on things that don't interest me, that I get way too into things that do interest me, tendencies to focus more on details than things as a whole, cockiness, being impossible for people who don't know me through and through to read, reclusive tendencies, that I'm far too brutally honest when I'm not being too secretive, harsh perfectionism, competitiveness, either being ridiculously self-depricating on stupid little things or evading that they ever happened, impatience, tendencies to laugh when extremely nervous or similarly inappropriate situations, other obvious nervous habits (I play with my hair, like, a lot, and it was worse before I cut it XD), spite and holding grudges, blowing things out of proportion or dwelling on them, paranoia, refusal to socialize, cracking under intense pressure, that I can't stand having my bubble invaded, an inability to trust, that I probably won't ever give it back if it's broken no matter what the circumstances or intentions are before or after... To name a few. And if this counts, there are times I swear like a sailor around people I don't think will have my hide for it. XP
Mature or Immature: I'm told I'm mature for my age, but I can have immature tendencies.
Leader or Follower: I'm more inclined to follow people I really, really like and/or really, really trust, but in general I don't attach myself to heirarchy, at least conventionally. My brain will place people I dislike/distrust below me, people I admire above me, people I like/trust as equals, and crappy set authority figures as disregarded.
Outgoing or Shy: Putting it this way, shy. I'm just not outgoing. X_X Introverted is probably a better word than shy, though.
Confident or Modest: Erm. X_X I'm confident in my abilities and kind of a narcissist, but I'm competitive, a perfectionist, and occasionally I have an inferiority complex. I like to impress and know I've done well, but honest gratification doesn't always come easily, and I tend to act modest/underrate myself to embellish my friends as opposed to myself even if it stings while I'm doing it.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realist: I try to be more of a realist, but paranoia and cynicism lend themselves to pessimism.
Goals in life: To achieve at least some of my ambitions, getting myself to a position of comfort, fulfillment, and happiness. Fame, fortune, and power are definite pluses, as long as it's not a being-stalked-and-hounded-by-those-who-know-of-me kind of fame.
Favorite quote & why: "You laugh at me because I'm different... I laugh at you because you're ugly." I don't even know. XP
Describe your personality in three words or more: Clever, loyal, creative, ambitious, secretive, paranoid, unpredictable/hard-to-read, self-centered, stubborn, hotheaded.
Favorite character & why: Hard to say. XP I've always liked Ikkaku and Yumichika, though I'm also quite a fan of Kaien. To say the least, no matter Rukia admired him so freaking much. He was just... so entertaining and charming. I really do envy characters who get such lovable mentor figures. XD I remember how pissed off I was about 20 minutes into the movie 9. It figures that has to happen to my favorite character first. X_X
Least favorite character & why: I never liked Mayuri. But by now in the manga, I admit, I've seriously gotten to dislike Aizen pretty strongly. My only question right now is what the point was. X_X
Name one character you absolutely don't want to be stamped as and why: Mayuri. X_X He's not the only one, but I pretty much know for a fact I'm nothing like anyone else I'd be particularly averse to being stamped as. Does anybody want to think they're like a sadistic mad scientist who blows up his own men without even gaining anything out of it and commits slow, torturous genocide for fun?
Anything else: Nothing that comes to mind.
