About you;;
Name/Alias: Steer~
Age: Fifteen.
Stamped as: Kou Ichijou
What are your best qualities? Well, I would think that I'm mature for my age. People have constantly told me that I have a mind of my own, and that I would not simply follow the mentality of others. I would think that I'm a competitive and very ambitious person, since my future dream for this world is to change it and have a meaningful existence before I die, and that could only be done if you're in a position with power to change something. I would think that I'm very sentimental and attached to those I care about, even if that might not totally be a good thing. I do have my humorous side that I don't express much, only showing it to people I'm comfortable being around. I'm studious and driven when I have a goal to fight towards, but I would fluctuate towards bored and lazy when I feel that I'm not doing anything worthwhile. I would consider myself idealistic, but glazed with a layer of cynicism since my views on the world do depend on my emotions. I have also heard that I have a sense of justice, but since I do tease my sister when I'm bored, that might depend on your opinion~ I am usually polite and friendly though.
Out of those, which one do you think helps you the most in everyday life? I think my ambition helps quite a bit in everyday life. Not everyone have goals to fight towards, and if you do have one, you'd have some dream to fight towards, some ideal you want to make into a reality. Without ambition, everyone would be content with what they have, and not seek to improve themselves. I want to change the world, to leave my mark on it to prove I existed, you know. To be remembered by people in the future.
What are your worst qualities? Like I already mentioned, I'm hopelessly cowardly and an escapist. I try to solve my own problems, but if it feels like it's too much for me to handle, I will run away from them. I have done so once, and it still haunts me to this day. Also, I'm afraid of pretty much anything that could harm me. I have individualistic thoughts and inclinations, and so, most would consider me as a little weird and sometimes as a know-it-all. I'm not motivated enough, and when I'm feeling lazy, I will probably procrastinate. My emotions usually take control of me. When I'm happy, I'm really friendly and polite. When I'm depressed, I'm aloof, standoffish and very whiny about my problems. I do have tendencies of being a control freak, since everyone must act according to what I think is right. That usually leads to quarrels between my sister and I, but whatever. I'm also depressed easily, like I said, depending on my emotions
Out of those, which one do you think affects you the most in everyday life? My emotional character, of course. Seriously, I can get a little too emotional for my own good. I think it'd be impossible for me to do my work properly if I was feeling depressed, for example. Now, having emotions is good, because they make you human, but being overly emotional... now that's different entirely.
If you could have anything you wanted for yourself, money and objects aside, what would it be? A peaceful, fulfilling conclusion to my life. Probably, after accomplishing my life's dream and stuff, I'd retire and live out in some quiet, serene place with my loved ones. I'd love a small house out in the suburbs, and we'd get to finally live life as it is.
Why? Don't you think life's hectic as it is right now? Wouldn't it be a fitting end to your story of life if you could do something like that? You see it in television all the time. No one wants to keep fighting. Everyone wants a place to settle down and cherish the people close to them. Do we get the chance to do that usually? Well, in the place I'm living in, we sure don't. We're buried with work and competition, and people are so darned distrusting of competitors. They want to succeed, hell, they're obsessed with it, and as such, they'll be unable to appreciate the beauty of life as it is. I don't want to die with regrets.
What kind of first impression do you tend to give people? From the friends I've asked, I'm really quiet when it comes to first meetings. Perhaps a little cautious and on guard, but it really depends. I've been in a single-gender school for quite some time, and interacting with boys I've never met is so much easier than speaking with ladies. I've heard that I'm really polite and gentlemanly at first impressions, and people do call me mature and stuff.
How is it different from your true personality? I don't know how to answer this question. I have loads of personalities inside myself, I would think. I can be really excitable and flirtatious one moment, especially if I know the lady well. I can also go melancholic and really philosophical the next, and it doesn't take much to make me depressed, honest. I have heard that I'm really deep, but I don't show it to other people much. (LJ is an exception, okay. It's easier to ramble here, honest.) I think it's impossible to define one's personality, because everyone is fluid. They don't act the same way to different people, you know. Yeah, and I'm really quite socially awkward. I keep having to think of things to talk about. Yes, I'm that boring. Hell, I don't even know my true personality at all.
Which side would you rather let people see? The flirtatious side. It's easier to speak with people that way, especially if you are humorous enough. Being too quiet and socially awkward isn't really all that conducive for social interaction, is it? I would also allow ladies whom I fancy see my gentlemanly side. I tend to be really quiet around them, and allow them to get their food first, not speak unless I'm spoken to, that sort of stuff. It really depends on who you are, and how close I am with you.
Do you think you're a good person? It depends on your definition of good. I'm a good person, definitely, but I'm not exactly the nicest guy in the world. I have my mean, paranoid, egotistical and sarcastic streak loosely hidden in my character.
Why? I hate losing and feeling inferior to others. I don't know... I guess I have this inferiority complex inside myself. I want to be the best, I want to be better than my peers, everyone around me, even my teachers. I want to be someone special and great, but that feeling doesn't stay. Despite that, I still want to be the best, and I've used questionable methods to do so. Not cheating per se, but checking up on my friends to see if they're studying, and stuff like that. Also, I do have a slight arrogant streak in myself, which is really hypocritical, because I abhor arrogant people the most, but it exists nonetheless. When my competence and ability is questioned, it doesn't take much for me to turn away in fury. I seem to have been obsessed with victory in the past too.
If you could change anything about the world, what would it be? Why? I'd take away selfishness from everyone. If everyone could work together for the greater good without any ounce of selfishness inside them, it would form an ideal society, no? Think about it. People in this world, including myself, are constantly placing themselves first. They think of their own self-interest, and only do things that benefit them. What about the rest who are under-privileged? Well, people would say "Too bad", and go on with their lives. People aren't obliged to take care of the rest, after all, even though we're all "human" in the end. Now, my ideal world would not be devoid of all individuality. People would still retain traits that make them who they are, but they'd be considerate to others' needs. That's all.
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? Why? I wouldn't want to repeat myself earlier, so selfishness and the sort would be excused from this question. I'd want to change some facets of my personality. I'm a little too passive and reliant on other people. If I could have the passion and initiative to do things without constantly having to be motivated, I'd be much more productive indeed. I'd also want to be courageous and honorable. Someone people can rely on and respect, you know?
Anything else you want to add? Nah, nothing else.
