Would you prefer to be voted as a boy, girl, or no pref: No pref...biggest thing is to pick the most accurate character. (But if you do vote for a girl, lemme know which guy's the best fit as well, just for kicks.)
Where you heard about this community: Meh, I dunno?
About You
Favorite Color: Black and Crimson Red.
Favorite Food: I dunno...Chicken, maybe?
Favorite Song (and why): Can't pick one. I like different things depending on what mood I'm in. And I like so many different genres that it's hard to compare, say, Metallica to Mozart to Merle Haggard.
Strengths: Folks always tell me the thing they like best about me is that no matter what happens I'm too tough to let it slow me down, or that they respect me cause I'm blunt honest enough to tell you what's on my mind even if it sometimes hurts. I've also been told that I'm extremely dependable and trustworthy, and people often come to me for advice. Besides that, I'm pretty good at all sorts of things high-tech. I'm an extremely hard worker, and once I set myself on a goal, I'm real focused on it, and refuse to ever give up or give in.
Weaknesses: My anger. Definitely. I can be pretty over-aggressive at times, and am real hard-headed. I can get so stubborn that I stop paying attention to everything else except what I'm focused on...the determination is good, but not when it turns into tunnel-vision. I also tend to get depressed quite a bit, but I'm too tough to usually let that show, and at times I'm so distant that folks don't quite understand me. Besides all that, I have the absolute worst luck in the world when it comes to women.
What you love: Drinking, fighting, working out, getting on people's nerves, women, rock and roll, anime and manga, roleplaying, football, baseball, martial arts, japanese culture, wrestling, racing, fire, computers and technology, motorcycles, trucks, collecting swords and knives, sarcasm.
What you hate: People who piss me off, liars, posers, fakes, preppies, having to "play nice" and get along with folks when I don't want to, authority figures, most everything else.
Hobbies & Interests: Took care of most of those, I think, with the "Likes" stuff above. I like watching sports, and participating in 'em whenever I'm able. Normally that's just shooting pool, though. I'm into anime and manga, obviously (however, I usually watch shows like Fruits Basket and Sailor Moon and such instead of the macho manly shows folks expect from a guy like me). I like getting into brawls when I'm able, though most of the time I'm just wrestling around or lightly sparring with my friends. Besides that, I'm into all sorts of things high-tech...I do computer work for a living.
Your dream: To achieve balance between my mind, body, and soul, equally strong in all aspects.
Either-Or
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Mostly Pessimistic because I always prepare for the worst, but Optimistic enough to keep moving forward and never give up, even when my goals seem completely out of reach.
Mature or Immature: A little of both, I think. Overall I'm fairly mature, but I get so stubborn sometimes I don't listen to reason. And when I'm with my close buddies, I do tend to act real silly and goofy and borderline immature.
Summer or Winter: Summer. I hate cold weather.
Morning or Night: Night. It's so dark and so mysterious, calm and quiet and eerily beautiful.
Outgoing or Shy: I'm a bit of a loner. I ain't shy, but I like to stay quiet and see what's goin' on around me, at least at first. In general though, I'm pretty outgoing.
Conservative or Risky: I'm a gambler at heart. I won't go crazy if the odds aren't in my favor, but I'll take risks whenever I'm able to get ahead.
Lead or Follow: Second in command. Everyone expects me to be a great leader, and while I can manage, I'm not so good being the top dog. Just don't command much respect. But I'm real good when put just underneath someone, where they tell me what needs to get done and lets me take care of business however I like. I'm even better when just left alone. I don't take well to authority or being told what to do at all, though.
Confident or Modest: I feel real confident, but others always compliment me on being so modest. I suppose it's because I don't go around bragging all the time, but that's just because I can be pretty quiet.
Logic or Emotion: Logic, almost entirely. But once I'm pushed beyond my limits...I'll go completely nuts and lash out on pure emotion.
In-depth
Can you put your trust in people? Why or why not?
No. I'm self-sufficient. Others will just let you down, give up on you, betray you, or otherwise not pull their own weight. I can count the number of people I truly trust on one hand.
Do you prefer working with a group or alone? Why or why not?
Alone. I'm the guy that gets things done, and other folks just slow me down. Group work's nice, but more times than not the hard-working guys like me do three times the work while others refuse to lift a finger to help yet reap in all the benefits.
Do you: Help people whenever you can; Wish you helped people but walk away anyway; or believe people get what they deserve?
Help others whenever I can. But subtly, without drawing attention to myself. It's not about the glory as much as it is doing the right thing. Yet I do believe that people get what they deserve for the most part...I'll gladly help those who are down on their luck, but the bastards that screwed their own selves over, I'll let karma take it's course.
Do you act on impulse and instinct or do you take time to think things through?
Depends on my emotions. If I'm calm and focused, I'm pretty good about plotting and planning. Mostly before I get into a situation. Once I'm in the middle of it, I go more off of instinct and impulse.
What is your choice weapon and why?
Anything that just screams "overkill". Huge swords or barbarian axes. Belt-fed automatic assault rifles. Grenade launchers. Double barrel sawed-off shotguns. Stuff like that.
What is one thing you believe in more than anything? Would you fight for it?
Fairness. Good, hard-working, honest people should be rewarded, while corrupt, manipulative people who prey on those weaker than themselves deserve no slack. It's not something you can fight like you could fight an army, but I do try to help those in need where I can, and draw attention to injustice when and where I see it.
If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?
My body. It's beaten and broken, and I'd want to repair it somehow if at all possible.
Extra
(If you have three (3) clear pictures of yourself, provide them. If not, provide a detailed description of yourself)
They're real outdated, but I'll post to give y'all a general idea. And cause these are on a few of the other sites as well. I don't have many so bear with me...
This is an old one, but prolly the best I got though it's from my Senior year of high school. I'm #51, kneeling.
Gonna skip a few years, cause all my college pics had long, flowing hair halfway down my back. Don't look like that anymore, cause I had to cut it off for work. *grumbles*
Most recent one I got, aside from the ones where I'm cosplaying. A little small and hard to make out, but I'm the one in the green, over on the far edge.
I'm one short, so that'll have to do...
Just in case the details don't show well in the pics, here's my basic description:
Hair's dark brown. Eyes are hazel. Build's a little heavier than average, but not desperately so. In fact, I'm a little trimmer now than I was in that picture from work, as even that was a year and a half ago. (I don't take many pics, and scan even fewer if you couldn't tell). I'm only 5'10", so I'm a touch on the short side. Kind of fair skin, with freckles.
