Previous Stamps: None.
Give a brief description of your personality:
Considerate Curator and
Dreamy Idealist.
Let's see... I'm a person with a lot of flaws, the biggest one being my shyness, I may even seem anti-social to some; I really have trouble with talking freely to people at first, although afterwards I open up a little and become very fun and friendly. At least I hope I'm being fun, haha... well, people do tell me that I'm the best one to talk to :) I can sometimes be selfish, but still deep inside I care a lot about others, even though I don't always show it. I'm also very polite and I highly respect rules (but I do think some of them are just meaningless), I think I would have been a good class president, lolz. I don't like depressing things and sick things like cannibalism and I love fantasy, humour, romance and adventures.
List some of your positive traits:
1. Honest. I say it like is as I think it's the best thing to do in just about any situation I can think of. I try not to hurt people too much with my words, but at the same time my point of view would be that by telling sweet lies, I'll hurt them more. So I just tell the truth and sometimes, lately more than sometimes, I can get blunt in that... unintentionally, I suppose. Actually, I can often be blunt simply because I don't realise how it might be not a normal thing to say, I just say it.
2. Intelligent. I've never meant to brag, but I can call myself a smart person (at least among the ones my age). Okay, just not exactly in the school subjects way, even if I'm very great at english, russian and literature. Although I can understand anything even in my hated subjects, like math for example, I'll just forget everything afterwards. I'm really knowledgeable people-wise, I can understand the actions and motives of almost every person out there just by observing them for a small period of time. I also think I'm quite intelligent because I know the difference between good and wrong. Like, I would never ever do drugs, I don't drink or smoke; I don't think it's cool like most guys/girls of my generation.
3. Thoughtul. You can't imagine how much I think about things. I find some deep meaning even in simple actions & when I'm traveling I tend to make up exciting stories, journal entries and stuff which I forget when I get to my original destination, haha. This can also be a negative point, since at night when I can't sleep I'm using my wild imagination with something along the lines of "what if something bad happened, like..." in my head. Which is why watching horrors and medical dramas is bad for my mental condition, hahah.
4. Internally strong. I believe I can get through things by myself, even at worst times I will pick myself up and fight back to life eventually. Some people might think I look fragile, but in reality I'm able to do things by myself, stand up for myself and be independent, I just prefer to not get into arguments and calm down most of the time and again, people might consider that being weak, but I simply think it's another action only someone with a strong will can do.
5. Understanding. I know when to leave my friend alone and when to cheer them up, even though I do the latter a lot more. Guess people don't like being left alone as much as they tell others? ;) Also, I try to never judge others for their mistakes; as I feel that everybody makes them and it's not like they're the the reincarnation of evil becuse of that. Everyone should be forgiven if they truly want to be.
... and some of your negative traits:
1. Sensitive. I'm a sensitive person in general, I can react to every small thing if I think that it's important and there are time when I'm wrong and just paranoid. I care too much about that others think of me, I'm too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally.
2. Lazy. To the max or so. I try to overcome it like I did with my homeschooling, but more often than not I'm being really lazy about every action-filled thing I have to do. Heck, sometimes I'm lazy about taking medicine! But I think it also may be because I want to throw up each time I take it, however I really don't think you want to hear this not very pleasant details, haha. I stop being lazy when I'm motivated though and that does happen a lot, surprisingly.
3. Selfish. I admit to the fact that I always think of myself by default and sometimes act a bit bratty, but in the end I care a lot about other people as well; I just don't forget about myself either. I can also get short-tempered when things don't go the way I want them to go and this might be considered selfish as well, because I snap back at people at those times, even though I usually don't.
4. Anxious. I have an avoidant personality disorder, which really bugs me. I can freely talk to people without shyness only when I understand that they won't say or do to me anything I won't like; I guess I have a hard time opening up to people and trusting them. I have a problem with adding LJ friends too, lol... but after that, I'm pretty much talkative, friendly and dare I say... outgoing? :D Or so I think?
5. Critical/Bossy. This doesn't happen that often, but when I'm serious about something and other aren't, I become very bossy. I generally just hate it when people can't take things seriously when needed. As for critical, it sort of goes along with bossy, which is why I joined them both, but this also has a connection with honesty, because when I'm being critical I always think I'm only being honest and it's the best thing to do. Again, this doesn't happen very often either, I'm a calm person who accepts others' faults.
What are your interests?: Reading, it's one of my passions in life: I get so very excited and emotional whenever I read an awesome book and sometimes I look very, very silly when I'm reading and smiling; drawing, I always make sketches of weird fluffy people/clothing with various expressions (and I tend to actually mimic their expressions!) when I'm bored, especially at school; internet... I can't live without it! lol. No, actually, my sister and I had a bet to see if I can not use internet for two days and of course, I won that bet. There goes my competitive spirit :)
... and your dislikes?: People who bully others and think oh so highly of themselves because of that; judgemental people; dumb and senseless jerks, homeless failtastic guys who try to hit on me... but yeah, just guys who try to hit on me is fitting here too.
Are you more...
Outgoing or Reserved: Reserved.
Energetic or Calm: Calm with rare energetic moments, haha.
Cautious or Impulsive: Cautious. I always think before I act, but there are times when I become impulsive because of how I feel.
Stoic or Emotional: I try to be stoic outside, but inside I'm very emotional.
Peaceful or Aggressive: Very peaceful, but easily irritated when it comes to idiocy at the same time.
Confident or Insecure: In-between, I'd say. Maybe more leaning towards insecure, because I'm kind of shy.
Leader or Follower: Neither, I prefer to be my own leader and follower when I'm working on something and have fun with people who don't need a leader or follower.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realistic: Optimistic when everybody else is pessimistic, otherwise realistic. Although, when I asked my mum she said I was pessimistic, haha. But when she also mentioned I was more realistic if that's an option :'D That's true, when I think about it.
You've ended up as a player in The Game. What do you hope your partner will be like? Logical, somewhat collected and able to stand up for themselves. I mean, I tend to get along with these kinds of people and I think working with them would be great because they usually take charge when needed and think before acting. I would also like to find this kind of partner to balance out my emotional and not-so-logical side, as well as inspire me to be as good as they are.
How do you feel about having a partner in the first place? Would you like to get to know them better or would you rather be on your own? In this kind of setting, I'd totally rather not be alone, haha. I would really love to get to know them better and I'll try to talk to them in a non-annoying way.
... and what role do you think you'd play in the team? Would you heroically charge in first? Offer motivation from the side? Just try to throw tin pins at everything? Offer motivation and charge in the battle after the heroic one, haha. I'd try to be as helpful as possible, but at the same time I would hate to stand in the way so I prefer to fight side by side with my partner.
Time for your first mission! You have 3 hours. How would you approach it? Nervously freak out, try to do it as quickly as possible, slow and steady, try to make it fun...? I would get kind of nervous and anxious, but at the same time I'll try to be as determined as possible (I wouldn't like to die). I'll approach the mission slow and steady too, very cautiously because it's my first mission.
What would you do in your free time? Go shopping? Watch people? Stare at the ground and brood? Abuse the mind reader skill...? Going shopping might be interesting! I mean, I'm not a big fan of most stores here, but there it might get exciting, seeing new things and everything. I would probably also feel like doing something to distract myself from possibly depressing thoughts... if I get lost in them, there might be no way out.
Even if they may not see you, you're constantly surrounded by people in this city. How do you feel about humanity as a whole? I usually don't think of the humanity as a whole, I try to consider each person separately. I always tend to think that even the worst person ever is capable of doing good and can actually have something other than the evil in them. BUT the same goes for absolutely great and perfect people, who should have some skeletons in their closets, because nobody is perfect. That's what I think, at least :)
You've managed to survive to the end! Is there anything that you hope has changed about you in the process? Yes, I would like to be more courageous in the end, as well as more outgoing and optimistic. I think the last two would be most likely, because of meeting new people and the fact that I managed to survive, I mean it can leave anyone in an optimistic mood, haha!
(Optional section)
Have you played this game? If so, did you like it? I've only started, but I really liked it as far as I've played it!
Is there any character you don't want to get? Rhyme, I'm not nearly as optimistic as her, haha. And I think I'm more independent than she is?
