"Lend me the power of the Seal"
Name: Shimawa_zen
Age: 21
Zodiac Sign: Tiger
Favorite Quote and/or Lyric: Don't really have a favorite, but one I like is:
"Everything has its "that", everything has its "this" . . . . So I say, "that" comes out of "this" and "this" depends on "that" - which is to say that "this" and "that" give birth to each other. But where there is birth there must be death, where there is death there must be birth . . . . Therefore the sage does not proceed in such a way, but illuminates all in the light of Heaven. He too recognizes a "this," but a "this" which is also "that," a "that" which is also "this" . . . . Or does he in fact no longer have a "this" and "that"? A state in which "this" and "that" no longer find their oppositesis called the hinge of the Way . . . . So I say, the best thing to use is clarity." ~ Zhuangzi (ancient Chinese philosopher). I like it because it makes most people's heads hurt, but I find it amusing because I get it.

What color do you think relates most to you and why? Purple - from the mysteriousness of royal purple to the brightness of other shades
Can you put your trust in people? Not easily - I need to get to know them very well before I put much trust in them.
Do you prefer working with a group or alone? Generally alone, but depends on the project.
What's most important to you? Hard to pick what's /most/ important
Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why? Hard one since I don't particularly strongly relate to any of them, but I'll say Envy because there is always something I want that I'm willing to strive for.
Deadly Sin you don't relate to at all and why? Hrm, I guess I'll say Lust because I'm not strongly sexually driven.
Number one goal in life: Number one? Can't say . . . .
Favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why? I love most of the characters, so its hard to pick favorites, but I'll name a few. I like Shoukatsuryou Koumei because he is an interesting character. I like Taishiji Shigi because he amuses me. I like Ryoutou Kouseki because he is sweet and loyal.
Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why? I don't like how Ryuubi Gentoku is portrayed in this version - rubs me the wrong way somehow
If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why? Hard, but I guess I'll go with Shoukatsuryou Koumei because it would be interesting to be inside his head for awhile.
What kingdom would you belong in and why? If going purely on the Koutetsu Sangokushi universe, perhaps Go/Wu. If going on Three Kingdoms history/novel, probably Shoko/Shu or Gi/Wei.
If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it? If I had a good reason
