ABOUT;
Name: Laura
Nickname: Akito
Age: 17
Gender: Female
BASICS;
Likes: I like peace and quiet, reading, pathogens, logic puzzles, just having time alone to think, science, making graphics, and other solitary activities. It's not that I don't enjoy socializing--to an extent--but I'd rather spend more time alone than with a large group of people. Oh, I also like bad movies.
Dislikes: I'm a pretty tolerable person, but I don't like loud noises, bigots, people who think they know everything, whiners, and those who spend more time pitying themselves than actually trying to change the situations. And especially idiots.
Strengths: I'm generally the smart, reserved, level-headed, and mature one of the group. I'm very good at observing minor details and such, and I'm told I give good, honest advice. I work fine alone, and it's actually preferable. I also rarely get angry. Annoyed, yes, but not angry. Though one would think that's a good point, it really annoys people for some reason. But I'm also responsible and have a good idea of what to do most the time, even if people disagree. I'm also good with words and utilizing resources, and I'm good at school, I suppose.
Weaknesses: Well, I certainly have an...interesting sense of humor. Mostly involving sarcasm and deadpan/dry humor. Most people don't get it, or take it the wrong way. I also can be a bit self-centered, though not to the extent that I've seen the youth of today go to (I feel so old saying that). I also tend to give off this "I don't really care" attitude, since I tend to look for the logic in every statement rather than the emotions. But sometimes, I really just don't care. I also sometimes let my mind get the better of me, thinking of more efficient rather than humane ways of doing things. But I don't tend to bring that up as much, for as I mature, I realize that it'll really piss some people off. People also see my honesty as a bad thing. I don't sugar-coat, and I just present things as I see them, and I'll admit, that's a little harsh. But I think that's how things should be done.
Hobbies & talents: Internet, graphics, reading medical books, videogames, you know. Normal stuff. I'm also very good at memorizing things, which means I hardly have to study.
Pet peeves: This goes hand-in-hand with dislikes. To put it bluntly, idiots. They just get on my nerves. And people who try to play the "oh, pity me!" act or victimize themselves. At that point, I'll just leave they're company lest I give them a nice slap across the face. And I really don't like children, as weird as that is. I imagine if I had my own (and it would only be one) I wouldn't mind it.
FAVORITES;
Color: Purple and more neutral shades of blue. They're nice, calm colors.
Animal: I really do like snakes and lizards. Most people think they're kind of icky, but they really can have personality and are very interesting.
Season: Summer. Fall's bloody hot here, and winter's just rainy. Spring's kind of boring. But summer has some really nice weather, and it means no boring school. I imagine I would like winter more if it wasn't so bland here. I would like to see snow one day.
THIS OR THAT;
Mature or immature? I'm often considered mature, but I don't know if I'm completely mature. Maturity is a state that's almost...knowing you have responsibility yet at the same time you're really nothing much. How your lifetime is really nothing in the history of the world. But I think I'm almost there.
Introverted or extroverted? Introverted. I project almost a facade, because there are really some things I'd rather not have people find out about me. And it's easier that way.
Leader or follower? I don't like to be labled as the 'leader'; that's for someone far more charismatic. Besides, some idiot usually proclaims himself the leader once the group forms. I'm more like the 'advisor', the one really making the decisions. It's safer that way, too. The leader's more likely to be targeted.
Generous or selfish? I may seem selfless, but my personality is totally selfish. Expecting so much out of people, finding out what they're all about, yet never revealing much about myself. I may be generous material-wise, but personality-wise I don't think you can find a more selfish person.
Hate or honor? Neither are useful in the world. Why hate? It does nothing but cause problems. Why seek revenge? What will you live for after? I really don't see the point in hate. Honor is more what I would pick, but still, in some situations, honor is useless.
Fight or flee? That's situational. Can I win the fight? Can I think of a clever way of defeating the enemy? Or am I going to die? It really depends.
WHATS AND WHYS;
What are your goals and dreams? Why? I want to be a coroner or pathologist. I couldn't care less about finding cures or helping people, but it's for my own curiousity, I suppose. Once again, selfish. I just want to learn about these things, and if it helps people along the way, so be it.
Who's your favorite character and why? I liked Jin and Fuu, but especially Fuu. I don't know why. I suppose I have a weakness for characters like her. And Jin was just pretty cool. Oh, and he has glasses, which always gives characters +2d4 cool points, in my book.
Who's your least favorite character and why? Nagamitsu, probably. I just don't like people like that. And I wouldn't call him a least favorite character, but I wouldn't want to know Mugen.
OTHER;
Anything else? Not really.
