Roald Dahl is in heaven now.
Name (real name if possible): Renee
Nicknames: Only nicknames I have are from my childhood and people who use them do so under pain of death.. er, pain.
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Do you want to be rated as an anime character or a manga/OVA character?: Either.
When members are voting, do you prefer to be rated as a male or a female character? (Choose one or both, if sex doesn't matter, please indicate): While I do have a female preference, I'd prefer an accurate fit over a particular sex.
Hobbies: Producing art, playing video games, reading, communicating, roleplaying, sitebuilding, learning things most people might consider useless, looking up odd things on the internet and talking to friends.
Have any special talents?: Art and sarcasm.
What are your strengths?: I have leadership skills, honesty, integrity, and vision. I am industrious when I need to be. I stand very firmly by my principles and beliefs and peer pressure has always been nonexistent to me. I will tinker obsessively and meticulously once something has caught my interest. I know how to prioritize. I am a thinker, I enjoy learning, and I analyze what's in front of me. I hate cognotive dissonance.
What are your weaknesses?: I am very stubborn and argumentative. I can be bossy, but I try to be diplomatic about it. I procrastinate. I'm told I can be selfish. When I find a working system, I dig my heels in and am reluctant to change things. I worry over many things. I can be very harsh, I'm told. I'll tentativelly say I'm cynical and bitter, but I don't generally count those as weaknesses.
Have any bad habits we should know about?: Er, none that spring to mind. I'm a bit too much of a hermit, perhaps?
Use six positive adjectives to best describe yourself: Clever, confident, principled, trustworthy, flexible, relaxed/easygoing
Use six negative adjectives to best describe yourself: Proud, anxious, judgemental, negative, opinionated (is this negative? I'm told it is), disillusioned
Favorite Music Genre?: I don't have one.
Favorite Hellsing character? Why?: Integra. Her determination and strength of will is positively admirable. She is doing what she has to to protect her people and is therefore ultimately benevolent, but is still human and attached to reality enough to understand the consequences of her actions. She is harsh, not cruel, and she will take her lumps with her head held high and her goals still very much in sight.
Alucard is also intersting for his contradictory nature and Seras for her own strength that lacks Integra's focus and Alucard's viciousness. They're kind of my Hellsing Holy Trinity. Oh God that sounds so stupid.
Day person or Night person?: Night. It's peaceful and I like my time alone.
Realist or Idealist?: A bit of both. A very firmly rooted idealisit? I know the system is broken but I believe it can be fixed eventually.
Impulsive or Controlled?: Controlled. I only do things on impulse when the consequences are so small as to be negligible.
Introvert or Extrovert?: Introvert.
Master or Slave? (Leader or Follower, for you folks who're no fun! ;) ): Master, but slave to my passions and ambitions? As much of a slave as my position in life has forced me to be? I am not a very big fan of power imbalances and I don't feel the master/slave dynamic translates to leader/follower, but if I'm going to play along, I'll say leader.
How do you react to a stressful situation?: I worry and plan.
If your friends or comrades are in trouble, what do you do?: Get them out, as usual.
In your group of friends, who are you (the leader, the smart one, the comic relief, etc.)?: Difficult to say. I often lead, but we all have our time as leader and they hang out with eachother without me often. When I'm out of my element, I'm the "shoulder angel" and the smart one - shoulder angel because I can recognize and point out a bad idea when I see it.
What kind of relationship do you have with your family?: A poor one.
Do you prefer to work with a group or on your own?: A reliable, handpicked group. I'd rather work alone than in a randomly assigned group.
If you were a character in Hellsing, would you prefer to use guns or another weapon for defense? If other, what?: Since it seems as though everyone in Hellsing has a gun on their person somewhere, I'll take another weapon and have my backup pistol at the ready. Something unconventional, but definitely not garrote wire - that's a disaster waiting to happen.
What are your thoughts (short) on drinking blood?: It symbolizes a transition I'm not willing to make.
Are you religious? If so, how religious are you? If not, why aren't you?: I was raised Roman Catholic. When I turned fifteen I realized I loathe the Roman Catholic church with every fibre of my being and I'd wish misery upon its leaders if the nature of Roman Catholics was not to be miserable. I'm a psuedo-agnostic, more of an apatheist. I don't really believe in God in a conventional sense, but I believe that if there's a higher power out there, it has nothing to do with us and how we live our lives. I think organized religion is generally silly because religion is supposed to be a personal thing, though I have no problem with people who take a religion as their "base" and learn what parts of that religion are right and wrong for themselves.
How do you want to die?: Feeling fulfilled and at peace.
If given the choice, which group would you find yourself a member of - Hellsing, Millennium, Iscariot? Why?: Hellsing. I hate the Vatican and I'm not a big fan of warmongering Nazis, but ridding the world of vampires and predators is a cause I can get behind.
Anything else we should know about you?: This question is silly. Oh. I just remembered, I'm highly critical and skeptical!
