BACKGROUND
Name:
Beta
Age:
16
Interests/Hobbies:
+Reading-I adore reading. I learned how to do it when I was two and a hald years old, and have been manic about it since then. There is nothing quite like immersing into a new world, finding, if lucky, a character that you can identify with and a character that you will become a fangirl/fanboy of…! My policy with book is-the thicker, the better, if interesting, of course.
+Writing-Since I love reading, writing tags along. Creating a new world is as great as immersing into one, and I love the thought of what powerful emotions my work shall evoke within others, how impressed, sad, dumbfounded, shocked they will be…I also adore writing private(well, private, like, unpublished, but I let my friends read) fanfiction stories with me as the main character, usually in a romance with one of the charries I fangirl over… J
+Computer Games- My favorites are roleplays. Creating a character and conquering a world with them kicks ass. I also love the Sims(I have Sims 3 now :D), and I love games where I control the storyline and affect it. I love games with endless possibilities, probably because I got used to those thanks to books.
+Online roleplays-Creating a character and interacting with other characters, having truly endless possibilites and the possibility of playing out all your dreams? Amazing.
+Acting-I have always loved to act, have acted at home since I was a child, and I have been in the drama group at school for two years now. I was commended, told that I should join a theatre. I played a judge, a drunken peasant and Anne Boleyn.
Strengths/Positives:
+Assertive-I despise the thought of being anybody’s fool and of letting anyone make a fool out of me. I would sooner lose a lot of things than not stand up for myself. Pride aids me here.
+Strong-willed-When I truly set my heart on something, I will stick to it and I will not let anyone silence me or tell me what to do.
+Ready to fight to the death for what I care about-When I love, I love. If someone is dear to me, I would kill tens of billions of other people for them. I would die for them. I would destroy planets and Gods for them.
Weaknesses/Negatives:
+Pride-no, I would not give up my pride for anything in the world. When I am caught between taking the aggressive and the meeker path, thanks to my pride I always, even if I somehow do not want to, take the aggressive one, or at least something closer to it(this does not necessarily mean phyisically aggressive-words are more of my cup of tea, unless someone happens to take it really far offending my family or being gruesome to me).
+Subjectivity-I am subjective to the bone. Let us pretend that there is an action I whole-heartedly condone and understand-a woman killing a man who had murdered her beloved one. Even though, in her situation, I would do the exact same, I would spit all over her and publically criticize what she did, claiming how sinful she had been to turn all against her if I happened to love the man she killed. It is the same for other matters. My ‘kingdom’ is what I care for, and whose interests I represent. Others are less important. Though, for example, jn classroom, I will not stand against the entire class for every trifle; only if it was important to me. Ah, but if I was really Queen…
+Vindictivness-I am vengeful. I like to be direct in my vengeance-come up to whoever I have a problem with and solve it with them. However, if for some reason, as wishes of my love or family member or best friend, I am prevented from doing so, I shall make certain they pay in a more sublte way. Subtlety has never been my stronger suit, again due to my pride. I often catch myself thinking ‘Who the hell are they(enemies) that I should be subtle for their sake?’ when thinking about such matters.
What do you love?:
I love being satisfied with myself. I love reading, I love writing, computer games, when time passes by slowly, I love arguing properly, being victorious, taking revenge. I, of course, love my family and would do anything for them.
What do you hate?:
I hate being looked down upon. I hate anyone believing I am weak, that I can be coerced, or anyone, God forbid, trying to coerce me. I hate being used by people. I have made certain that none of these things happen in my life, but I would still hate them if they did. I hate when people have no understanding and are closed-minded.
Of course, I hate when someone speaks of my family with disrespect. Just the day before, I was talking to a friend of mine about my parents not letting me return home with the midnight bus unless it was necessary(duhhh!!!). And she said ‘I find it stupid that they do not let you out longer’. Now, in our langauge, that is much less than the offence than in English. She was, basically, speaking against the concept of curfew. XP But, I thought about it, and took it somewhat personally. So, as the conversation escalated, I was deliberately rude to her in an further explanation. That should represent my sensitivity on this part.
Describe yourself in three words:
Fierce-tempered. Proud. Vindictive.
In three words, how might other people describe you?:
Proud. Favoritistitc. Fierce-tempered.
What are your worst fears?:
Being weak. Being used by others. Drawing back in an argument/conflict. Losing my family, betraying my family, losing the one I love. Not being satisfied with who I am. Being someone’s, anyone’s puppet.
CHOICES
Frugal or Lavish:
Lavish, though I do not buy things expensive for most of the time. I love to brag about how I bought something very cheap. However, I enjoy lavishness, I enjoy exclusive places, and I enjoy when my things look expensive. So, I would say lavish.
Traditional or Unconventional:
Unconventional. While the rest of people enjoy discos, I prefer the ‘medieval style’ of parties-feasting around a table, dancing like they danced back then, etc. Some might call this ‘traditional’, but I think not, since no one around me has the same opinion. Also, I have some sexually unconventional opinions. ;)
Cautious or Impulsive:
90% Impulsive, I think. I am never certain about this part. Once I talked to my brother about it, and he said that I am among the few people he knows who actually plan their impulsive outbursts. I am very impulsive when being offended, when someone crosses my line, though I do take a few seconds to plan out exactly what I will do to them if it is possible to plan. I can be more cautious when it is about decisions concerning my future, my education, etc.
Fanciful or Sensible:
Fanciful. I am a person with a cynical outlook on the world, and I love to shock my friends by stating bold criticism of the society. This might categorize mne as sensible. But, I constantly day-dream, I obsess over fictional characters and write my fantasies(not sexual-yet) with them…that is not very sensible, now, is it?
Lover or Fighter:
I would not know. I would love to be a lover, absolutely, but I have not gotten too far on that field.
I am a fighter, that definitely. Well, not physically, though I do kick guys and leave bruises now and then. I have not seriously hit a girl in years, since I believe that conversation can handle the majority of things with them. Now, if they started it first…or went too far offending my family…I would leave more than just bruises.
About being a fighter, non-physically. I fight for what I find important, I am set in my ways and I do not let anyone silence me or tell me what to do. I can compromise for my best friends and family, but not even with my best friends when it is a matter truly important to me.
Responsibility or Popularity:
I’m not really sure what you are aiming at with this, but I’ll try to explain my opinion.
If, by popularity, you mean being loved and adored, like popular in school, I would not choose it. If you simply mean being on a high position in life, then I would choose it. As for responsibility, if by it you bean standing firmly by your decision, yes. If responsility means being responsible towards people but not on a high position, then I do not know. Maybe the high position, but I cannot say I am completely certain.
Reserved or Outspoken:
Outspoken. I often try to make the reserved people to become outspoken, to stand up for their beliefs and fight for themselves. I would like being the only outspoken in the area, because I do like being in the centre of attention, I cannot deny that.
IMPERATOR
What do you think of the Senate and the "old ways"?:
If I was the Imperator, I would disband the Senate if they did not obey me. When watching Gladiator, it was the first thing I said when I saw the way they were treating Commodus. Of course, before disbanding it, I would make certain that I was well-guarded and that I had enough armies to stop any assassins that came after me and to cease any public unrest. The people disliked the Senate, anyway, though, so…before disbanding, I would maybe even try to make the people love me even more. =)
Of course you revere the gods, don't you?:
No. I ‘revere’ myself. Next!
The people of Rome demand amusement. What do you do about it?:
I am, initially, mad-how dare they demand something from their Imperator? If they asked for it nicely, I would give them games. If they rebelled, I would send my guards to handle them. Maybe I would even put the few captured ones in the Arena to fight with lions…for the amusement. I would make certain they knew I was no weak Imperator and that they must treat me with respect if they want to gain.
So, how about those Greeks?:
Interesting culture, though far too philosophical for my taste. If they wanted war, I would give them, if it was necessary, I would conquer them. I would make certain that their written works and inventions were not destroyed, though. Maybe I would even take their fashion ideas. Perhaps a love slave, or two…though I believe I would prefer Egyptians, for that part.
What would you like to do in your free time as emperor?:
I would read, talk to those I care about, laugh, drink wine(moderately! More, on rare occasions). I would have love slaves for my pleasure, and I would make them do all the things I want to. I would walk in the gardens, maybe even travel. I would have parties-I love old-fashioned parties of all kinds.
What would your legacy be? What would you want to be remembered for/as?:
I would want to be remembered as a strong, strict ruler who was nobody’s fool and who made all obey them. I would have a son, who would be my legacy to the world, just as any daughters I might have. They would all be taught by me, raised by me…I would despise to be remembered as weak, submissive and timid.
WAR
There is unrest in the frontier areas; barbarians are raiding. What would be your course of action?:
Send my armies to destroy them. I would tell them to show mercy for the women and the children, but make certain that they do not show too much mercy-I have seen enough fools lose kingdoms because they trusted ‘the ladies’.
You learn of a revolt in the provinces, led by one of your generals. What do you do?:
Send the rest of the armies to destroy him, but never leave myself and my dear ones unguarded. Publically execute the general. I would think about what to do with his family. Exile is unwise, they could always return looking for revenge. So, I would probably have them executed, too, though it would not be a decision I liked bringing. I adore children and killing innocents does not appeal to me.
Overall, how would you feel about your role as supreme commander of the legions?:
I would love being supreme commander. However, my brother/father would most certainly be my supreme military advisor. I do not have the much needed patience for strategising, so he would aid me there. I would not ever take anyone else as advisor, save for family, because they could betray me.
Anything else you think we should know?:
I went into lots of details above, so I am sure you know all there is to know. =)
