My Dynastic Line... Indeed.
Name: Chris
Nicknames: gravija, Klamp, Yugi [even though I gave up that habit a while back], MacGyver
Age: 21... Will be 22 in less than 11 hours.
Gender: Male [I think I'm the first male to have applied since January, eh?]
Likes: Let us see... MacGyver, webcomics, WWE, physics, problem solving, codes and ciphers, cooking, intelligence, modesty
Dislikes: Stupidity, arrogance, people who are generally inconsiderate, most current television, horrible professors, backstabbers
Hobbies: Cyber Nations, writing, drawing, video games, card games [mainly blackjack and poker these days, even though I was more into CCGs not all that long ago], alternate history, many games and activites requiring strategy
Talents: I'm very good at pulling off victories or completing goals I'm not realistically supposed to be able to accomplish, usually by going a totally unexpected route and using totally absurd strategies.
Weaknesses: I kick myself very often for unfortunate events, whether they're my fault or not. I'm incredibly hard on myself and have a hard time getting over it if I really did make the mistake, but I tend to blame myself for things that aren't my fault too. [EDIT: Another weakness of mine is my true knack for making enemies by simply being alive.]
Strengths: I consider myself to have good leadership, political, and diplomatic skills, all of which I've had to exercise on more than one occasion when drama has struck in some way, shape, or form. I've also been complimented on my strategic mind. Furthermore, I consider myself very ambitious.
Goals: In the long term, I want to be, quite honestly, world champion of... something. I don't think it really matters what, as long as I'm the best. Also, I desire to have my own company that's similar to what the Phoenix Foundation was in MacGyver, but maybe a bit less focused on bloodshed. I want to solve problems for the world, whether it be aiding an expedition into an unknown tomb or helping make more comfortable boots. In the short term, I want to graduate college with a degree in physics, which I'm majoring in now [and that wouldn't be so obvious to you, had you known that I've changed majors three times] and I'm saving up money so I can go see a girl I thoroughly enjoy who lives a couple states away...
Introverted or extroverted: Extroverted to people I trust and people I'm trying to psych out. Introverted to people I don't trust and have no use for.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Straight down the middle. Total realist.
Mature or immature: More mature than immature, but I can be puerile if need be.
Leader or follower: I refuse to follow anyone. I'm a leader all the way.
Brains or brawn: Brains, straight up, but I can use brawn if necessary.
Favorite animal: Great White Shark
Favorite color: Black
Favorite weapon: My wit, for the most part, but there can be something said about machine pistols as well...
Favorite kingdom: Wei, but I like Shu a lot too.
Pick one to three favorite characters, explain why you like them:
Xiahou Dun: He not only gave an eye for his land and was totally stoic about it, but he showed resilience and terrified his enemy.
Liu Bei: He had great political tact and understood his limits. He showed his intelligence through delegation, in which a lot of leaders in the era didn't show comparable excellence.
Zhen Ji: She's simply beautiful. I can't say much else there...
Anything else you want us to know? Even though I don't play it anymore, two of my favorite quotes come from Magic: the Gathering cards:
"The fatal flaw in every plan is the assumption that you know more than your enemy."
"Do not react to force in kind. Turn it aside. Direct it to where it can do no harm."
Pictures(optional): I have none that are really representative of how I look now. All of my pictures are over four years old.
