First of all, your three votes:
♔ ♔ ♔ Basics
Name/Alias: Apathy
Age: It changes every year
Do you want to be stamped as a gender in particular?: Doesn't matter
Are you re-applying? If so, tell us the character you were stamped as: N/A
In depth
Likes: My fandoms, friends, family, watching anime, reading manga, playing video games, BL, writing, drawing, character designing, inspiration, wandering around on the Internet/Livejournal, trying to learn Japanese, discussing stuff (crack or serious)
Dislikes: Bigoted/closed-minded thinking, lack of acceptance, lack of inspiration, boredom, radicalism, general horror/violence, broken technology, working, insects
Fears: Horror-related things, loss of 'self', death, bad things happening to my friends/family/people in general. Then there's things like heights, insects...
Goals/Dreams: I'd like to write, but I feel that chances of that happening are slim, so I guess I'd like to be a translator (Japanese to English) instead. I'd also generally like to get better at things I like doing.
Describe your personality:
- I'm quite an introverted person, and generally dislike large crowds or being social. Overall, I'm most at ease around people I know well, and probably seem a lot more lively around my closest friend.
- If there's nothing wrong, I tend to just quietly get on with things. I'm mostly amused by crack fandom stuff, which I really do enjoy; I'll admit to having a rather odd sense of humour, although I don't know if that means anything.
- If I'm in a negative state of mind about something, on the other hand, it can be difficult to move me away from that.
- I like doing things at my own pace, and tend to only really be motivated about something if I'm enthusiastic or enjoy it. This means that, as much as I like thinking about things, I might not be considered 'scholarly' (I don't like studying).
- When things get to me, they get to me- and they can sometimes be very trivial things- but otherwise I'm hopefully not too bad-tempered.
- I'm pretty underconfident, and lack self-esteem a lot of the time (I generally consider myself mediocre at everything). I also find it difficult getting across what I mean and being at all expressive.
- I don't consider myself a particularly interesting person, and- not being good socially- I probably don't make very good company if I don't know you well.
- Although I accept that others have their own points of view and that it's fine for them to keep it, I can have strong points of view about things (hopefully not to the extent of forcing them on others/insisting that they're right, though). This can make me stubborn sometimes (especially as I'm not fond of change). Conversely, if I don't have a strong point of view about it, I tend not to mind.
List 3 good things about you: Honesty, hardworking if I'm interested in something, and creative. ... I hope. I also try my best to be open-minded.
List 3 bad things about you: There's a lot more than three things, I think. |'D I like working at my own pace, which can be frustrating for others, and I'm unmotivated if something doesn't interest me. I can get very annoyed over trivial things, and I can get stuck in a bleak mood sometimes.
List 3 funny things about you? I don't know? ;
What do you really admire or respect in a person?: Honesty, the ability to be oneself, integrity, trustworthiness, kindness.
What do you hate or feel contempt for in a person?: I don't know about hating or feeling contempt for, but I'm primarily put off by radicalism and closed-mindedness in others.
How do you think others see you?: Awkward and unapproachable, perhaps?
Choices
Please try to explain
Mature or Immature?: Some people say I'm mature, and I'd like to think that I have the capacity to handle things maturely if needed. I consider myself a bit immature at times, however, and I'd actually like to remain a 'child at heart' (without being childish, if that makes sense).
Leader or Follower?: I'm not confident enough to be a leader, but I'd rather not blindly follow. I'll be happy to follow if I felt that the person in question knew what they were doing, though.
Outgoing or Shy?: Probably more towards shy, generally.
Confident or Modest?: I'm underconfident, so more towards modest, probably.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, and/or Realist?: Pessimist-realist? I tend to veer towards pessimism, but usually because I don't want to build up expectations for something good happening. Realist because I can hopefully see that good things happen as well.
Energetic or calm?: Usually calm.
Listener or Speaker?: Mostly a listener, I think, although if I have an opinion about something I might speak about it at length.
Impulsive or Cautious?: Cautious, mainly.
Playful or Serious?: I can be both, I think (hopefully at appropriate times).
Tales related
Games you played: Symphonia is the only one I've actually fully played, all the way through. |'D I've spoiled myself on pretty much all of them, though, and have stalked playthroughs/made especial effort to learn about the characters of Abyss, Vesperia, Eternia, and Graces.
Who is your favorite Tales mascot: Repede isn't really a mascot, is he. ; Zapie, then, I guess.
What is your favourite gummi and why?: In terms of which I use most, probably Pineapple.
What is your favourite accessory and why?: Revival Doll?
What is your favorite Hi-Ougi and why?: I like quite a few. |'D
What is your favorite element?: Lightning.
What is your favorite summon spirit/sacred beast?: Celsius.
What is your favourite race in the Tales world?: I don't particuarly have one?
What is your favourite quote from a Tales game?: Courage is the- CLAIII- ... Erm. I can't think of any in particular. There are lots of great ones (funny, crack, and serious).
What is your favourite vehicle? (sentient beings like Noishe, Ba'ul and Shaorune count): Ba'ul?
Which NPC gives you murder urges? Come on, don't be shy. We won't tell them. I don't know about murder urges, but I don't really like Sodia. ;
Who is your favourite political figure of the series?: Peony, perhaps.
Would you rather be a prince, noble or commoner?: The freedom of a commoner would be good, but I admit that being a noble wouldn't be too bad. As long as it isn't a snobby one, and I could use the opportunity to help others.
Make up your Tales battle team! Chose three other characters who will complete you nicely: Erm... Rita as a spellcaster, Keel as healer, and maybe Hubert as a fellow melee fighter?
If you had to get hooked right here, right now, who from the series would you chose?: If it means 'getting married', I don't want to, really. |'D
Your favorite spell: Maybe Judgment, barring it barely being able to hit anything when I use it. And Revitalise.
Your favorite physical attack: Rising Falcon, because it lets you jump over peoples' heads (pretty useful in Symphonia). And the obligatory Majinken.
Nitpicking
Weapon of choice: Sword, as much as I probably couldn't actually use one.
Melee or magic?: If I'm playing the game, melee. I prefer being able to hit the enemy quickly and rack up damage..
Short-range or Long-range?: Again, short-range if I'm playing the game.
Pictures of yourself? (optional): N/A
How did you get here? The links in the various Tales communities
Anything else you'd like to say?: Thanks for your time. |D ... And, I copy and paste too much. orz
