I wish to be stamped as a...:
[] Male

[x] Doesn't matter
BACKGROUND
Interests/Hobbies: Hiking, stargazing, movies, music, jogging/walking, writing, graphic design, reading, video games.
Strengths/Positives: The first thing people tend to notice about me is that I'm very straightforward. I don't smile much, and genuinely, even less. I'm pretty no-nonsense, especially when I'm working. By the same token, I've gotten good at being deceptive when it comes to interactions. I'm very observational and I usually know what people expect from others and can step into a role with ease when it's necessary. When given a task I am unwaveringly focused and determined. There is very little that can usually manage to derail my mindset when I've got my eye on a goal. I'm very self-confident and aware of my own abilities. Rarely do I ever need reassurement or motivation from others. Self-motivation has been a huge strength of mine for as long as I can remember. I've been told I'm wise beyond my years many times. I don't have many friends, but the ones I do have, I am fiercely loyal to and protective of. I'm very independent and I will undoubtedly stand my ground for what I believe in.
Weaknesses/Negatives: If I haven't made an attempt to be charming and approachable, people are usually pretty put off by me. When it comes to personal interactions, I'm not an easy person to get along with and I'm very aware of that. I don't make an attempt to disguise the fact that I'm not a nice person. I'm very cold and detached, and when it comes right down to it, a lot of people can't handle that. People don't like it when I'm honest - or blunt - with them either. I guess I can come off as pretty arrogant sometimes because I'm very self-aware and I shrug off the vast majority of compliments I receive, assuming they are not related to my writing or my goals. Sarcasm and dry wit apparently aren't that well received either, and I use both a lot. Although I'm not vocal with it to those I don't trust, I'm extremely self-critical. I do expect a lot from others, but I'm worse with myself.
What do you love?: Looking at the stars, jazz, psychology, writing, thrill seeking.
What do you hate?: Closemindedness, self-righteousness, stereotypes, incessant rambling.
Describe yourself in three words: Focused, cold, independent.
CHOOSE
Justice or Revenge?: Justice. It's also my belief that some brands of revenge are justice.
Light or Darkness?: It's a cycle. You can't have one without the other.
Love or Ambition?: Ambition. I'm as far from being a romantic as it gets.
Forgiveness or Resentment?: Neither. I don't forgive easily. Most people deserve it when I lose my trust and respect for them, but I rarely resent my decisions. When I make a decision, it's for a reason, and I have a lot of faith in my own decisions.
Courage or Cunning?: You can't have both? It's possible to be courageusly cunning or cunningly courageous. It sometimes takes guts and bravery to be cunning, just as it sometimes takes sly proficiency to be courageous.
ARE YOU MORE...
Optimistic or Pessimistic?: Realistic.
Manipulative or Unassuming?: Manipulative, I guess. It's not to say I think of others as puppets. I don't. Someone once told me that being a leader means manipulating those around you, whether you look at it that way or not, and I agree. Manipulating is often put in an ugly light, but everyone does it.
Leader or Follower?: Leader. I prefer to go it alone, but between the two choices, I'd rather lead.
Outspoken or Reserved?: Both. I keep to myself and am a private person, but when I have something to say, you can bet I'm going to say it.
Arrogant or Humble?: Neither? I've never thought of myself as a humble person, but I'm not blindly self-confident either.
QUESTIONS
What do you think of humanity?: Selfish, ungrateful people that unfortunately tend to blot out the truly good people scattered among them, and I don't hold much appreciation for the bulk of humanity.
What would you change about the world if you could?: Ignorance. People hole themselves up in their own little worlds and never think of anything that doesn't directly affect them, here and now.
How do you react when someone wrongs you?: It pisses me off and I let it be known. I'll confront them about it and try to be as calm and civil as I can.
What traits do you admire in others?: Independence and the ability to be realistic. I get very frustrated with people who have nothing on their mind but finding "true love" and who can't seem to stand on their own feet.
How do you typically deal with antagonistic people? Do you try to ignore them or do you confront them head-on?: Typically, I brush them off. That doesn't always work when they do manage to get under my skin, but it's better not to waste my time with those kinds of people.
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?: Actually, I'd probably like it. I'd be aware and on guard, since there are all kinds of things out there, but I'd always wander through the forest when my family would go on picnics.
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?: Follow my instincts and keep moving. It might sound cold, but I have good faith in my instincts and I don't trust strangers.
Uh oh! Looks like these "travelers" are actually hungry vampires. They lunge at you, eager to enjoy your blood. What's your next move?: Shoot them and run for dear life. If I can at least keep them off me until I get into sunlight or a holy place, I'll be okay.
Anything else you think we should know?: Nope.
