Aku made shitsuji desu kara.
Basics:
1. Name: Morgan
2. Age: 18
3. Gender: Unfortunately female
4. Do you have a preference for being stamped as a male or a female character? Not really.
In-Depth:
5. Your personality in general: Eccentric, misanthropic, pessimistic, cynical, detached and both easily bored and easily amused.
6. Strengths: I'm a perfectionist-- whatever I do has to be of a certain standard that I've set for myself. I'm analytical and nit-picky, which means to say I try to minimise mistakes wherever possible. I have a twisted sense of humour, and can use sarcasm to my benefit, and for the amusement of others.
7. Weaknesses: I can be severely ignorant towards the feelings of others; although, I can use sarcasm to my advantage I've often hurt others and I know it. I can be severely pessimistic, cynical and misanthropic, to the point where I've been told my world view is just very much "skewed". My grudges and slights with others tend to run deep, and I can harbour them for some time. I also have a wavering attention span (it's usually between the two extremes of severe boredom and bordering-on-freaky-fascination). Oh, and I'm unbearably obsessive and possessive towards the few people I do bother about.
8. Dreams: To take up writing not only as a career, but as a way of life; to keep learning/ accumulating knowledge as I go along with life.
9. Fears: Failure. I tend to take any tasks or responsibilities handed to me very seriously, perfectionist that I am. I've been conditioned to believe that I have really steep expectations to live up too, and well, it makes me pretty fearful of handing it "below par" work, and being judged as a failure as such.
10. Talents: Above-mediocre writing abilities; duplicating anatomical drawings; remembering quotes from long-dead poets/philosophers and blurting them out at random moments (it unnerves people sometimes, it's funny); being a massive source of strange, obscure facts (don't ask).
11. Hobbies: Sleeping, writing, doodling, analysing whatever comes to my mind, crafting stories and characters.
12. Likes: Sleep; The Ages of Man; being a free thinker; Johnny the Homicidal Maniac; Invader Zim; Voltaire-the-singer and Voltaire-the-French-philosopher; Oscar Wilde; H. L. Mencken; Ambrose Bierce; Edgar Allan Poe; too many other books and authors to name; fairytales and folklore; history; escatology; sociology; psychology; mind-games; peace and quiet; and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
13. Dislikes: Generalizations; stereo-typing; self-appointed "missionaries" (i.e. the type that simply must have you joining their religion, because it's oh-so-fabulous. Not meant as an affront to anyone in particular. Ahem.); people in general; badly written fiction (fanfiction, or otherwise); excessive 733+ where it's not supposed to be; being talked-down to; pointless philosophical tangents; mass-appeal media; being forced to study historical events past WW2.
Favorites:
14. Color? Why?: Black, and generally darker shades of the spectrum-- but, yes, black. I guess it's just a very comforting colour to me, at least. It also tends to reflect my moods in general.
15. Animal? Why?: I'm not really a fan of animals, per se-- but I do have a slight fascination with snakes. I suppose it must be all that mythological associations with the critters, and well, snakes, in my opinion, have always had a sense of mystique to them.
16. Quote? Why?: "Never discriminate; hate everyone equally." It's my personality summed up in a neat little sentence, and well, being the misanthrope that I am, my life philosophy exactly.
17. Music? Why?: Typically anything that sounds good and doesn't give me a migraine-- strangely enough this tends to be stuff from bands like Rammstein and Lordi. I have a soft spot for classical music as well-- with particular preference towards Tartini's Devil's Trill Sonata and Lizst's version of Danse Macabre.
18. Season (Fall, Spring, Winter, Summer)? Why?: Despite living in one-season region the entirety of my natural existence, I'd have to say my favourite season, hypothetically speaking, would be autumn. This is largely due to the fact that in the tropics, the weather does come close to a blend of late-summer/autumn weather anyway, and well, Halloween does happen roughly about the same time, no?
19. Kuroshitsuji character? Why?: I don't fangirl over one character in this particular fandom, as I do my other fandoms, for some inexplicable reason. While I do like the Ciel/Sebastian dynamic-- it's just that, one of the characters wouldn't be as interesting as the other, if they didn't have the other to interact with. In this case, I'd have to say Grell, because he's just... too hard to ignore? Rather, he's so eccentric and so open about his more than wayward... ways that he really does stand out from the rest of the cast.
20. Least favorite Kuroshitsuji character? Why?: Ash-Angela. Oh, I don't know. I know that it's pretty difficult adapting a manga that isn't completed yet, but well, it doesn't mean you have to pull out all the cliches just to keep fulfill quota-- a little more planning might have helped surely. That said, regarding the whole Ash-Angela thing, well, if you've seen one pyschotic fallen angel on a crusade to rid the world of impurity, you've seen them all.
Which one? Explain each choice.
21. Mature or Immature: A mixture of both-- my personality is so erratic that I tend to be a little of a contradiction of terms, most of the time.
22. Leader or Follower: I prefer to be a leader-- not because I'm a brilliant leader or anything, but in my experience, I tend to somehow or other wind up in a group with a 'leader' who is completely laissez-faire, otherwise; so, well, some work needs to be done, at least.
23. Optimistic or Pessimistic: ...Pessimistic, obviously. I tend to see things in a more negative light than most because well, nothing is ever what it seems, and setting your hopes up for something happy to happen is just rather... idealistic, in my opinion.
24. Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted, though I can play at being an extrovert if need be. I've just never felt compelled to go mingle with others and all.
25. Free will, Fate or Neither: Free Will-- I'd like to be in control of my own life, thank you very much.
26. Impulsive or Cautious: Cautious-- because being impulsive is just putting yourself out on a line and just leaping into situations without any serious consideration for what the consequences, etc.
27. Social or Anti-Social: Anti-social. I'm an incorrigible misanthrope.
28. Calm or Hyper: I tend to oscillate between both extremes. Depends on how much sugar I've had.
29. Family or Friends: Neither. Keeping to myself is just fine for me.
30. Activity or Quiet: Quiet. Sometimes it's just nice to be able to hear yourself think.
31. Justice or Compassion: Justice, with just a pinch of compassion to mitigate Her Blindness.
Extras:
32. Would you want to have a contract with Sebastian? Yes. I have certain goals I want to accomplish and having a multi-talented, virtually indestructible butler would certainly come in handy (nevermind the fact that I have had to give up my immortal soul along the way).
33. How would you react to the incompetent workers at Ciel's estate? Be honest. I might get a minor aneurysm. But anyway, I'd fire them (with the exception of Tanaka who's more or less a fixture at the mansion anyway), with respectable severance packages and if needed, I'd be willing to let them refer prospective employers to me if it comes down to that. Also, I don't consider them to be actual mercenaries, as the anime portrays them to be, and if I wanted people to guard my mansion, I'd just hire actual mercenaries.
34. Just how mischievous are you? If by mischievous you mean that you're sarcastic and you enjoy playfully insulting your peers, than yes, yes I am.
35. Description or Picture: I'm a typical Asian girl, i.e. squinty eyes, dull, shoulder-length black hair, brown-black eyes. I'm slightly above 1.6m in height.
36. Anything else: I subscribe to the theory that Sebastian's true form is a pair of black stripper boots accompanied by a whole bunch a black feathers.
