Indignation Judgment~
First of all, your three votes:
♔ ♔ ♔ And going to vote on everyone else, I just don't want to forget to post this again. ^^;
Basics
Name/Alias: Fuji.
Age: is but a number. Old enough to post.
Do you want to be stamped as a gender in particular?: I'd prefer male, but don't think you can't vote female if that's what you see.
Are you re-applying? If so, tell us the character you were stamped as: Emil. I don't remind myself of Emil, so I'm reapplying.
In depth
Likes: Orange. Stripes and plaid. Character design. Languages and linguistics. History and anthropology. Imitating character voices.
Dislikes: Yellow. Polka dots. When a science class doesn't have a lab. Group projects with slackers. Hubris. Having to repeat myself.
Fears: My life having no meaning, letting people down (esp. people who trust me), when people hate me for reasons I can't control (it's not that I'm scared of people hating me... it's that I'm afraid of what will happen as a result), not being good enough.
Goals/Dreams: ... go on to learn a lot more about different kinds of cultures, people, and people's ideas in work. In general, live a life that in retrospect, I can say I'm not ashamed of having chosen to live.
Describe your personality:
I'm a formerly-outsider learning how to work the whole friends-and-emotions thing. It's... going slowly, since I'm used to being The Weird One, but it's going. I'm shy and guarded at first, and I don't like to make the first move. I sometimes feel I might be clingy, I'm apparently not. More like self-reliant to a fault; I don't ask for help even when I need it, though I offer help to others. And I'm considered reliable, "the Responsible One," etc. ... that's my "official title," since among the group I live with, I'm the referee, the sheepdog, and the voice of reason. (Can I mention it's bad when I of all people end up as the voice of reason? Because....)
Even outside of fandom, I am a GEEK. Note the caps. Speculating makes me sooo stupidly happy - stories, theories, other Shinies, whatever. I like pretty much all subjects, and work to learn what I'm interested in, and I'm good at logic (though I usually like my curiosity better than my logic). Who says it has to stop when you're not in a classroom? ... I come across as too-much-head-not-enough-heart at times (or not caring about what people think), though I work to keep myself by personal morality. Sometimes, my heart and head don't agree on what to do, and then I either overthink or go with my gut without thinking. When I'm cautious, OH BOY am I cautious, and when I'm reckless, OH BOY am I reckless. C8<
When I'm upset or worried, I don't share the cause of it, and try not to show it in the first place. And when I'm happy, I still come off as showing significantly less emotion than expected, though I certainly don't feel unemotional. (This was one of my biggest problems with pretty much everyone suggested on my last app - I'm not that touchy-feely feeling-share-y; it's one of my bigger weaknesses. I like my heart just fine, but I lead with my head.)
List 3 good things about you:
+ I'm curious and stubbon; these traits feel linked. It also makes me come across as accepting when I'm actually just being curious.
+ I think there's something inherently good in everyone, even if I'm not always able to make myself want to see it. ... note that this doesn't mean I actually do like everyone, though I respect them.
+ I take my responsibilities seriously, be they school, acting, work, promises made to friends, or duties as a student organisation official.
List 3 bad things about you:
- ... I'm curious and stubborn. These aren't always good traits. Especially when I'm the kind of stubborn that involves a BIG prideful streak.
- I'm overly-critical and analytical, with tendencies to think myself in a rut and focus on my own faults. Hurray for misapplied logic skills!
- I am extremely intolerant of people trying to demand my attention when I want to be alone.
List 3 funny things about you?
~ I've been in quite a few amateur plays... usually as either the protagonist's father, or the main love interest's father. Not sure why this is my particular type-cast, but it is.
~ I have a tendency to wander off and forget to tell people I'm going. Because of this, I'm called mysterious. This strikes me as a really weird reason to think someone is mysterious.
~ I can do the Pokerap and recite Digivolution trees. (Who says you can't like both?)
What do you really admire or respect in a person?: Emotional honesty - living as you are, for what you believe in, regardless of what anyone else will think. And keeping going, even when things seem bad.
What do you hate or feel contempt for in a person?: Deliberate abuse of trust; unwillingness to accept responsibility for own actions.
How do you think others see you?: Have some quotes!
"The extent to which you rely only on yourself is admirable, but also a little crazy."
"You're acting like my mother or my girlfriend, and I'm not sure which is worse."
"You? Talk about your feelings? *bursts out laughing* ... you actually don't show emotions nearly as openly as people would expect of you."
"When I first met you, I thought you weren't interested in getting to know me. And also that you were a little mean."
"... I think you might even have less regard for social norms than I do."
"TSUN TSUN much?"
Choices
Please try to explain
Mature or Immature?: I do feel like I'm less mature than I should be in some ways, like dealing with my emotions. ... and yet other people call me mature and responsible. *shrug* I try to be as mature as I feel I should be, even if that sometimes makes me seem immature in the process.
Leader or Follower?: ... a little oblivious to this sort of thing.
Outgoing or Shy?: I'm not perpetually shy, though I am often quiet or distant. Some things can make me shy, like assuming in advance about what people think.
Confident or Modest?: Modest, with moments of I Feel Like Being A Showoff and occasionally thinking too highly of myself.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, and/or Realist?: Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, be realistic about what's actually going to happen. \o/
Energetic or calm?: In what context?
Listener or Speaker?: Listener, with moments of talking too much. Like, when you get me talking about a Shiny of sorts, or one of those showoff moments.
Impulsive or Cautious?: ... both? I don't think things through as much as I should, and yet I overthink.
Playful or Serious?: I am often far too serious for the situation at hand, but I can be annoyingly playful with friends and especially with myself.
Tales related
Games you played: Every US release since Symphonia, plus just enough of Hearts to be interested but have no idea what was going on.
Who is your favorite tales mascot: Corrine. Partly because Veralius reminds me of Kyubimon, and partly because that was the fake-name I was given in French class one year.
What is your favourite gummi and why?: Pineapple. Yay more tech usage.
What is your favourite accessory and why?: Elemental goggles. I love Digimon goggles, and have a little collection of my own.
What is your favorite hi ougi and why?: No preference. I tend not to use them.
What is your favorite element?: Ice. I like the higher-level ice spells best, except in Legendia because the water/dark opposition was just too cool.
What is your favorite summon spirit/sacred beast?: Celsius, because ice.
What is your favourite race in the Tales world?: No.
What is your favourite quote from a Tales game?: "What is this OMINOUS LIGHT that THREATENS to ENGULF us??"
What is your favourite vehicle? (sentient beings like Noishe, Ba'ul and Shaorune count): Ba'ul was the most fun to use.
Which NPC gives you murder urges? Come on, don't be shy. We won't tell them. Of the games I've played more than once (ie can remember NPCs instead of just PCs), none of the NPCs really bothered me.
Who is your favourite political figure of the series?: Shirley or Dorr.
Would you rather be a prince, noble or commoner?: ... *blink*
Make up your Tales battle team! Chose three other characters who will complete you nicely: Raine because it makes no sense not to have a healer and her AI was the least dumb of any healer I've used, Chloe because she's my favourite sword fighter, Karol because I just really like his fighting style.
If you had to get hooked right here, right now, who from the series would you chose?: Does it matter?
Your favorite spell: Slime and snails, or puppy dog tails. /o/ *bricked*
Your favorite physical attack: Power Seal! Serpent Seal Pinion! Harp Seal! *bricked moar*
Nitpicking
Weapon of choice: Even before I'd ever heard of Hearts, my friends and I decided that my weapon would be a giant paintbrush. It was a Digimon Tamers reference at the time.
Melee or magic?: Some tricky third option that isn't either pure magic or melee. Standing on the sides shooting Stone Blasts is too far removed from the fight, but I know I wouldn't be the strongest person on a team to justify being a tank.
Short-range or Long-range?: Short range would be more fun, but I'd probably be better at long range.
Pictures of yourself? (optional): ... No, but you mirror-stamped me as Rita due to how I dress. Also doomed to be mistaken for a middle-schooler for a long time. Runs on both sides of the family. :|;
How did you get here? The Graces community and Lin.
Anything else you'd like to say?: Community userinfo makes me think restamps for the overall app are open even in non theme-restamp months. If it's not, tell me please.
EDIT: took out some of the tl;dr that happens whenever I type/explain things by making things more succinct where I could.
