Would you prefer to be voted as a boy, girl, or no pref: Either way. And i must say, dont forget about the lesser known characters... Zack, Red XIII, Cait Sith, etc.... During my voting i saw them mentioned rarely, if at all.

About You
Favorite Color: Black (yes, i know, its a shade, not a color)
Favorite Food: Steak and Potatos, medium on the steak, with a hint of spice.
Favorite Song (and why): Thats a tough one, as my life revolves around music. However, I would have to say "just" by radiohead. It just describes how i feel about other people. if something in your life is bothering you, hurting you, etc... you are responsible for it. you put yourself there, now get yourself out. it might be hard, but its your life, put forth the effort to make things better, or dont complain. it may be a cold way of thinking, but thats how i try to live, i get myself out of what i dug myself into, and i'm proud of it.
Strengths: being myself, not backing down from my ideals. helping other people to help themselves, still making them fix thier stuff, but showing them the way.
Weaknesses: socialization, being genuinely interested in other people. staying focused
What you love: independent people. Music. The bass guitar (i play).
What you hate: people who need attention/people who leech strength and self-worth from others. music with no lyrical or instrumental quality. mornings.
Hobbies & Interests: the bass guitar, the arts, the stars. immersing myself in a room filled with music, and just feeling myself exist.
Your dream: Seeing the world. i want to do everything that comes my way, and see more of the world than just north america.

In-depth
Can you put your trust in people? Why or why not? Not normally. i've been hurt by alot of people i trusted in the past, and it shows in the fact that I'm wary of newer people. I feel that most people have to prove they can be trusted, instead of me trusting them, then getting screwed the first chance i give them. i dont expect much from most of humanity, and its a nice suprise when someone proves themselves trustworthy.
Do you prefer working with a group or alone? Why or why not? Alone. People in a group can mess things up. This goes back the the previous question. I dont like the fact that my image relies on other people finishing thier part. Plus, i feel like my ideas clash with most of the population, so id just end up getting frustrated.
Do you: Help people whenever you can; Wish you helped people but walk away anyway; or believe people get what they deserve? Most of the times, people get what they deserve. Theyve probably done something that day or week that messed someone elses day up. I'm a heavy believer in Karma. If i do end up helping somone, its because they were wronged by some other person, right then. besides, getting involved in other peoples lives is risky business, you may end up with the same problems down the line, and whoever you helped normally wont be there to do the same.
Do you act on impulse and instinct or do you take time to think things through? I think things through. I like to see what i can get out of it. if the reward is greater than the cost, i'll go for it, otherwise, keep me out of it.
What is your choice weapon and why? None. I'm a pacifist. Rarely do I see the need for fighting. Especially pre-emptive fighting. If you can do something covertly, rather than with a full-scale invasion, go for it. Otherwise it causes needless casualties. Go up the stairs rather than throught the front door, guns blazing.
What is one thing you believe in more than anything? Would you fight for it? I exist. because thats all you can put a blanket statement over. I am a sentient being, i have my own thoughts, and govern my own actions. I cant say i believe in freedoms, because i dont believe that someone is free to kill others. I cant say the right to life your life the way you see fit, for the same reason. All i can say is that I believe that I exist. That i have my own thoughts and feelings, and noone can take it away from me. Yes, i would fight to keep my existence. Its all anyone really has. I would fight for other peoples existence as well, as it is not fair to take it from them.
If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be? Not Much, i'm alright with who i am. people like me, appreciate my being around, and i feel like i equal things out by keeping a level head through most situations.
Extra
(If you have three (3) clear pictures of yourself, provide them. If not, provide a detailed description of yourself)
I am 5'6" tall. I have brown, shaggy hair, greenish eyes, and am rarely clean shaven. Stocky Build. I rarely wear shorts, and you'll usually find me in jeans and a t-shirt. My nose has been broken, so its a little crooked, but not too much, and my ears stick out a little bit more than normal. I think that about covers it.
