Name: Caitlin
I wish to be stamped as a...:
[] Male
[] Female
[X] Doesn't matter
BACKGROUND
Interests/Hobbies: Writing, acting, photography, astrology, video games, recreational research, web design, various other things.
Strengths/Positives: I'm independent by nature, loyal, competent and passionate.
Weaknesses/Negatives: I can be pretty sarcastic, impatient, usually reserved and sometimes distrustful.
What do you love?: My family and friends; history, especially ancient; theater; music; philosophy (mostly Classical and East Asian); comedy; play-writing; animals; the sea.
What do you hate?: Hot weather, insects, busybodies, rudeness, people who drive badly, bullies, liars, being stifled in my endeavors, arrogance.
Describe yourself in three words: Contradictory, Focused, Creative
CHOOSE
Justice or Revenge?: Inevitably, there will always be both. However, I'd like to think I'd pursue justice rather than revenge.
Light or Darkness?: A good balance of both, with a slight preference for the latter.
Love or Ambition?: Love; I am ambitious in my lifelong goals, but I wouldn't use love as a means to an ends.
Forgiveness or Resentment?: Both, with a bit more resentment; I tend to brood on things.
Courage or Cunning?: A mix of both; I'm more of a behind-the-scenes person in general, but I can be bold and courageous when I need to be.
ARE YOU MORE...
Optimistic or Pessimistic?: Both; it really depends on the day you ask me.
Manipulative or Unassuming?: More unassuming, for sure. Though I wouldn't call myself naive.
Leader or Follower?: More often a follower, but I can lead and do it well if necessary.
Outspoken or Reserved?: I'm definitely more reserved, though I'm outspoken around friends and family.
Arrogant or Humble?: Unfortunately, I can be both at times.
QUESTIONS
What do you think of humanity?: Wonderful and terrible; the world's full of geniuses and monsters. It's too bad that the latter thrive so easily, but the former have done (and do) much to improve conditions. The world is a wondrous place and worth fighting for. It's just...troubled.
What would you change about the world if you could?: I'd make the world's inhabitants far more open-minded and less stubborn than they are. I believe that would improve things significantly over a long period of time.
How do you react when someone wrongs you?: Like I mentioned above, I tend to brood on things for a long time. I don't forgive and forget easily and even if I say I forgive someone for something, their misdeed lingers in the back of my mind for awhile. That said, I keep my emotions pretty well under wraps. I like to maintain a stoic facade, generally speaking.
What traits do you admire in others?: Genuine compassion and patience; there need to be more people in this world with those qualities.
How do you typically deal with antagonistic people? Do you try to ignore them or do you confront them head-on?: I usually just try to ignore them; that often makes them madder anyway and I like foiling them. However, if they continue to push me, I will push back.
SITUATIONAL
You're making your way through a dark, gloomy forest. Are you uneasy about being here, or are you confident in your safety? Or you maybe feel at home here, with not a care in the world?: I'm definitely ill at ease here. I want to get out as quickly as possible.
While in this forest, you run across some lone travelers. They seem lost and scared. What do you do? Do you try to assist them? Do you ignore them?: I walk a bit closer to them, to get a better look at them. I'm wary of anyone and anything in this forest though and try not to get too close.
Uh oh! Looks like these "travelers" are actually hungry vampires. They lunge at you, eager to enjoy your blood. What's your next move?: I fight them off as hard as I can and aim to get away. I have no idea if there are more nearby and don't wish to find out.
Anything else you think we should know?: Nope, I think I've covered it all. Thanks for voting!
