Lend me the power of the Seal
Name: Kumo
Age: 20
Zodiac Sign: Taurus, or Fire Rabbit by the Chinese Zodiac
Favorite Quote and/or Lyric: I'm going to go with the poem "If", by Rudyard Kipling (http://www.swarthmore.edu/~apreset1/docs/if.html)
Likes: Tea, anything Three Kingdoms, anything Feng Shen Yan Yi, moths, drawing and digital art, roleplay, depressing foreign drama films, travel, intellectuals
Dislikes: Loud noise, extremely sweet things, gory movies, most slapstick humor, suburbs, being touched
Strong points: I'm creative and I seem to make friends easily where ever I go. I try to see the good and the beauty in everyone.
Weak points: Physically, I've never been very strong or fast. Also, I tend to work myself too hard, and I think I let people walk all over me too much sometimes
Pet Peeves: Irresponsible people, that noise the television makes when you leave it on but not set to a channel
Hobbies: Roleplaying, drawing, cooking for other people, computer science things, and collecting international pop music
Talents: I can speak some Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and a little Japanese, as well as English. I can also write in Java and C++. Also, I have an ever-growing repository of random trivia knowledge
Your biggest fear: Leaving things unfinished
Optimistic or pessimistic? Pessimistic. I want all of my surprises to be pleasant ones
Impulsive or cautious? Cautious. Perhaps too much so sometimes
Mature or immature? Mature, I hope
Extroverted or introverted? Extroverted. Much as I need alone-time pretty often, I get most of my energy when I'm with other people.
Outgoing or shy? Outgoing. I can always learn something from someone else
Emotional or collected? Collected. I only really let myself get emotional around people I know well
Predictable or unpredictable? Unpredictable, I suppose; my friends keep telling me that they never expected such-and-such from me
Patient or impatient? Patient, most of the time
Confident or modest? Modest ._.
Realistic or dreamer? Dreamer. And then I try to make it work
Logical or intuitive? Logical
Rude or polite? Polite
Determined or passive? Determined when doing things, but generally passive when dealing with people
Dominant or submissive? Submissive, usually, because I like helping people
Leader or follower? Follower, unless the person I'm following proves to be unworthy of my efforts. If I'm needed, I will lead
Compassionate or just? I guess it would depend on what the situation requires, but I suppose I would probably err on the side of justice. While I like being nice to people and helping out, there are also a lot of times when I think people need to learn things for themselves, and that the best I can do is stay out of the way of that.
What color do you think relates most to you and why? White. I like to think of myself as blank and empty, and ready to take in what knowledge the world has to offer
Can you put your trust in people? Not often
Do you prefer working with a group or alone? Alone, unless I know in advance that the group is a group of people who will carry their shares of work.
What's most important to you? Learning as much as I can, from everyone I can. Accumulating experience, even if it is just related to me by others
Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why? Gluttony. When I'm in a bad state, I feel that I demand too much of the people around me. Also, I have trouble turning down good food sometimes.
Deadly Sin you don't relate to at all and why? Lust. I'm aesexual ._.
Number one goal in life: Be a Renaissance man
Favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why? Ah, so hard for me to pick just one, because my favorite part of this series was the characters. I think I'll go with Taishiji, because he always managed to make me smile. He was rough around the edges for sure, but he always seemed to do everything with the best of intentions.
Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why? Again, I really loved everyone more or less, but I think I loved Rikuson the least, just because he seemed to whine so much. I know I'd be under a lot of pressure in his situation, too, but he seemed to have a lot of good friends whom he did not always appreciate.
If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why? Sonken. I would have liked to know more of what was going through his head at a lot of points in the series.
What kingdom would you belong in and why? I guess if we're talking about the kingdoms as presented in the show, I'd probably like to serve Wu. I'm not sure I could align my feelings to work with that Ryuubi or that Sousou. If I cannot work for Wu, then I would be a recluse, I guess.
If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it? I think it would depend entirely upon the circumstances under which I received it, and under which I would be considering using it.

Please post one or two pictures of yourself behind an LJ-cut. Describe your appearance if you have no photos.
I'm 5'9", and I think on the light end of average in terms of build. I've got brown hair down to my chin in the front, and cut very short in the back. My eyes are green or grey or hazel depending on the light, I think, and my vision is bad so I wear contacts, or sometimes my glasses. When I don't need to dress up or anything, I dress for comfort above all else, usually in baggy jeans and a t-shirt, and a hoodie if it's cool out. And also, I don't like people taking pictures of me.
