What are three positive adjectives that you would use to describe yourself (please try to go into some detail for each one!)?:
1. Optimistic - I like to look at the bright side of things, and it helps balance out my natural worry-wart-ness.
2. Silly - I do stupid things, such as putting on some music and recording myself dancing around my room like a crazy person XD.
3. Passionate - I get REALLY, REALLY into stuff. Controversial issues, the color of my socks, anything. I once spent...I think it was...ten minutes arguing with a friend on IM about who was hotter, Neji or Gaara. And then after that we spent another ten minutes arguing about which pairing was better, ShikaIno or ShikaTema.
What are three negative adjectives that you would use to describe yourself?:
1. Pessimistic - I know I'm contradicting myself, but I worry worse than my mother does. I also worry LIKE a mother, even though I'm not one, and always come up with the worst-case scenario for EVERYTHING.
2. Unresponsible - I don't feed my pets, which is why I'll never get another one.
3. Hot Tempered - Along with being passionate, I get angry pretty quickly. And then comes the irrational insults and threats.
Would others agree with the above adjectives? Would they possibly use different ones to describe you (and, if yes, which ones would you not be surprised to see)?
I think they would agree with all of the positive and all of the negative except #2. Yes, people would describe me differently. Positively, I would not be suprised if smart or logical came up (even though I can be very dumb). And negatively, overly critical would not be suprising.
If YOU were able to create a ninja village, what symbol would you want on your forehead protector?
I don't really know. From my dumb observations, the ninja village symbol has to do with their name, which GENERALLY has to do with their location (Hidden Rock, Hidden Sand, Hidden Leaf, etc.). But, I think I'd want it to be a sun.
What type of weather and/or which season do you prefer?
I prefer fall/winter. I like cold, snowy, and rainy/t-stormy weather.
What type of location do you see yourself more likely to live in (for example: near water, in the desert, near a forest, etc.)?
In a forest near water (with the occasional drought, because the humidity would kill me otherwise). I know I'm combining two, but I hate the desert.
Would you like ninja training in your village to be harsh in order for the strongest to advance, or would you rather it be more forgiving of mistakes?
I don't like the idea of just letting the strongest advance, because then it would seem like you had to be a natural genius in order to become a ninja. Besides, with this kind of training, the quantity of ninja would be very low, and numbers certainly HELP you win a war. Not that I'm saying I want masses of poorly trained ninja (EW!), but I think that training that is difficult but not so difficult that only people like Neji can handle it would be nice. ...Additionally, I don't want training for ninja levels to be standard (e.g. All Chuunins must train this way, all Jounins must train this way, etc.), I think ninja should train in their own way to increase their skill.
Speaking of missions, would you prefer only hard or advanced missions for all of your resident ninja or would you not mind them participating in simpler errands if need be?
Both. I don't want to be in a village where daimyos send all their requests for assassinations of officials and nobility, and I don't want to be a village of courier or fetch-your-groceries/cat ninja.
Would you prefer living in a more populated and busy village, or one more rural/country-like?
I think I want a village with a HIGH population, but an area that is dedicated to agriculture WITHIN the village.
All hidden villages have a leader...what kind of leader would you most respect and why?
I would respect a leader who is wise and level-headed, strong, has a sense of humor (I despise people without one), has pride in their village and is willing to defend it at all costs, but can still associate with his/her people and talk like equals.
Would you prefer it if your village's leader had almost total power and control over the workings of the village, or shared it with some kind of council?
Council. Tyrants form when you give one person power over an entire people.
Anything else?: I like....pie?
