Give a brief description of your personality: I like to keep to myself or hang out with a small group of people. I'm pretty introverted and I definitely wouldn't call myself a people person. It's not that I don't like social interaction; I just tend to get irritated easily. I'm still not the loudest person in the room when I'm with people I'm comfortable with, but I'm definitely not afraid to talk in these situations. When I do speak, I'm either sarcastic or cracking jokes. I'm not very good at hiding my emotions in my voice, i.e. when I'm in a bad mood. I do try to be polite to everyone, but if someone's really getting on my nerves I tend to show it.

I'm actually very tolerant concerning the opinions/beliefs of others, but it's an individual person's attitude and behavior that causes me to get irritated at them.

List some of your positive traits: Creative, intelligent, trustworthy, a sense of humor, empathetic, loyal
... and some of your negative traits: Sarcastic, impatient, pessimistic, indecisive, prone to bouts of depression, easily frustrated, cynical, procrastinator

What are your interests?: Kitties, books (a wide variety, but my favorites are mysteries, horror, and anything historical), history, videogames, peace and quiet, true crime shows, classic rock, spending time with those I'm truly comfortable around, weird trivia
... and your dislikes?: Children, large dogs, rude people, stereotypes, hypocrites, being ordered around, idiots, annoying ringtones, meat, being the center of attention

Are you more...

Outgoing or Reserved: Reserved
Energetic or Calm: Calm
Cautious or Impulsive: Impulsive
Stoic or Emotional: Emotional
Peaceful or Aggressive: Peaceful, but I think it'd be more accurate to say I'm passive aggressive.
Confident or Insecure: Insecure
Leader or Follower: Follower, but I wouldn't want to blindly follow someone like a sheep. I hate the idea being in a leadership role, and would rather offer support to a leader I respect.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realistic: Pessimistic with a touch of realistic; I'm not all doom and gloom all the time, but I usually expect the worst.
Traditional or Unconventional: Unconventional

You've been enlisted into the Grey Wardens! A life of being bound to fight monsters... How would you feel about this?
I wouldn't hate the idea of protecting others, but I would hate having to do it because someone is ordering me to. I'd want to fight monsters because it was my choice, no one else's. In the end I'd agree to join, but I'd be a little resentful over being bound to it.

After joining, would you feel it necessary to focus almost entirely on your duties when the world is being threatened? Or would you rather try to have fun when you can?
I'd want to have fun when I could. If I'm going to have to spend my entire life fighting, I think I deserve a break now and then. Life is too short to never have fun.

Do you prefer to experience new things or stick with what you know?
A mix of both. It's good to be open to new ideas, but I wouldn't want to abandon everything I already know.

You get attacked by a group of bandits, and upon defeat they claim they were only trying to provide for their families. What do you do with them?
Ehhh.....this one's tricky. For me it comes down to how sincere the bandits are. If they're genuinely regretful about attacking me and really are doing it just for the sake of their families, then I'd be more willing to help them. But if they're a bunch of violent bastards who enjoy attacking random people and are using their families as an excuse, then I'd probably mow them down.

After going through multiple dungeons and fighting countless battles, you discover that the ally you did all of this for really just wanted more power. They even plan to sacrifice those they consider incapable of being saved in the process! You did go this far for them, and they will undoubtedly be a powerful ally against your enemies threatening the whole world, but... Can you allow them to continue?
I'd be livid that they were plotting behind my back, but with the greater threat still at large I'd still keep them as an ally. I don't agree with mass sacrifice and would have a hard time being friendly to them. I'd work with them to ultimately keep the world safe, but I'd watch my back while they were around.

A great battle is going to be fought soon. What, if anything, do you do to prepare for it?
Get my affairs in order in case I don't come back, and then spend the night before the battle doing something to keep myself calm. Or getting drunk.

Eventually, your exploits become known and you're now a respected figure in society. How do you plan on using this influence, if at all?
I don't know if I'd want to use it, to be honest. I don't like the idea of being a role model; being expected to act a certain way doesn't sit well with me. I wouldn't abuse my influence, but I doubt that I'd use it very often (if at all).
