Anyone ever read Dragon's Bait by Vivian Vande Velde?
Name: Senri
Nicknames: Let's just stick with Senri k. :D
Age: 18
Zodiac sign: Capricorn
Likes: Hmm… I like birds, Thai food, octopi, wild dreams, well-written fan fiction in general, villains, flowers, ferns, trees (especially birches!), drawing, writing, the outdoors, and reading. The idea of life in outer space. Blade of the Immortal is my favorite manga.
Strong points: Sincere, creative, directed. I'm a loyal and honest person, emotionally and in pretty much every other part of my life, and I do my best not to jerk my friends around or give them false ideas about their worth to me.
Hobbies/talents: I read a lot. I write. I do art. Um, sometimes I make jewelry. Also I'm fairly athletic even though I'm not great; I work out a lot and skied for four years on our school's team.
Dislikes: Homophobia, sexism, bigotry in general… people who never stop being loud… when netspeak is overused. 'Harem' anime. Being sunburned. Wearing contacts. When my eyelashes fall into my eyes and I can’t get them out. Being ordered around.
Weak points: Arrogant, temperamental, potentially harsh and snobby. I'm also sometimes moody or withdrawn. I have a huge sweet tooth. I procrastinate and hate to be ordered around. I'm somewhat socially inept and can be overly hard on people.
Pet peeves: Waffling, prejudice, my chemistry class. When chatspeak is overused. Heh.
Favorite color: Red
Favorite animal: Birds, hyenas, octopi
Favorite FE character (and why): Hmmm.. Fire Emblem: Hector, Matthew, Leila, Legault, and I love the dynamic between Karel and Lucius. I love Hector's brusque attitude and his dialogue has given me so many lulz. I am also partial to his good heart and his ability to slaughter his way through enemy lines. Matthew has both melancholy and comedy in his character - at least how I perceive him - and that's a combination that appeals to me, because so many things could be said or written about him. It's the same with Legault. Leila because I just love her; she's beautiful but tough and smart, and I wish more stuff had been done with her! Karel and Lucius are just so uncommon and strange a pair, I really enjoy reading about them.
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones... Innes, Natasha, Joshua, Forde, Cormag and Knoll. Innes' arrogance and assurance just appeals to me somehow: my favorite are his supports with Eirika, because he seems somehow so earnest about wanting to protect her but as a long-range fighter she should really be protecting him. Oh, Innes! I love Joshua and Natasha's dynamic, Joshua's somewhat jaded outlook against Natasha's purity. Forde strikes me as the kind of guy I'd probably like to hang out with at school: laid back but extremely smart and talented in his own way. Cormag, it's his combination of aggression and (that word again) purity. I don't know, he just strikes me as a really hopeful, noble kind of guy, especially in his conversation with Eirika before he converts to her side. I don't know, I guess I'm just the type who wouldn't be so quick to trust her and switch to fighting for her if I thought she'd killed my brother. Knoll I like because of his moral conflicts, etc. etc. you probably have some idea of what I'm going to say here.
OH I FORGOT TO MENTION ARTUR, HE'S SUCH A LITTLE WOOBIE, I WANT TO FEED HIM BREAKFAST. I know that's shallow. :D
Oh my god, this got really long.
Favorite FE class: Thieves, assassins, druids, paladins. I'm also partial to the myrmidon to swordsmaster class, and mercenaries - I love light-footed blade users!
Introverted/Extroverted: I think the my favorite definition of an introvert is someone who is depleted by being around other people, but replenished by being alone. This leaves me as an introvert, no doubt, although I'm not by any means a hermit. ;p
Leader/Follower: I guess I'd be more of a leader, especially in intellectual pursuits. I really despise waffling, and this motivates me to start directing situations when no one else seems willing to choose a path.
Optimist/Pessimist: ...Optimistic, in a depressed sort of way? Heh! I tend to think that something which at least approaches justice will win out in the end, because I think that humans are basically decent and over time build up a sort of altruistic momentum against injustice. It may take a while but we do our best to get things ordered out. People have their problems, sure, but I don't think that's any reason to write our entire race off. If you made sense out of this mini-rant, I commend you.
Also, when faced with demoralizing circumstances, I remind myself that in the larger scheme of things none of these momentary problems are really meaningful, and they are not likely to affect my life in the big picture. That helps a lot. XD
Mature/Immature: I would say that I'm mature, in that I can see the necessity of doing unpleasant things and force myself to follow through on that need. Also I can look at an issue from way too many sides at once. That may or may not be a sign of maturity.
Hyper/Calm: I have a lot of excess energy: so, hyper.
Strength/Intellect: Intellect, oh, intellect, without a doubt.
Weapons/Magic: Magic or distance weapons. I probably don't have a strong enough constitution to stand up to too many direct blows.
How important to you is family: Not very much, aside from my immediate family. Most of my relatives are fairly estranged from me; they live in the lower 48, or are just not people I talk to, or have issues with my father or something... he has a dramatic family.
How important to you are friends: Extremely important! I have a lot of adult friends (I'm 18, finishing high school) that I actually dearly wish were really related to me, and I go to them with all kinds of problems and observations. I would totally trek across the country with them, slaying bad guys and fighting to stop the end of the world.
Which game(s) do you want to be stamped in? Fire Emblem, and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
Pictures (if available): And... mmm... here's one of my senior photos.
