Prepare the new members for the fifth generation
What team would you be on?
Name: Elwen Rhiannon, as previously
Your previous stamp(s)/do you agree? Although I appreciate comparing me to Kapitel!Ken, I am neither optimistic nor naive the way he is. Puting my feminity aside, I do look a bit like Kapitel!Yohji. If I get more votes, I'll share my opinion on the Kritiker position and the song resembling me.
What is your dream home? An apartment in a big city, or maybe a house in some silent place? Neuschwanstein... And speaking realisticly - something stylish and comfortable, in a calm and safe place.
What do you expect from your teammates? Do you want to be friends with them, or only to be professional and capable? That's a bit complicated in my case. I am very sensitive when it comes to the emotions of the people surrounding me, so I'd like to be on as good terms as possible with my teammates. On the other hand, I have absolutely no need to be loved by everyone, be *friends* with those I work with or see them on private ground. Don't understand me wrong: it's nice, but not necessary. Yet I have to trust them: it's absolutely essential to me to know that they share with me all important information, are not lying to me, trying to get rid of me or plotting with the enemy behind my back.
What role can you see yourself fulfilling in your team (boss, assassin, strategist, someone behind the scene, etc.)? If allowed, I think I might make a good boss, combining leader and strategist. I like puting things in action, seeing them working together, and I care about the people I'm with. As much as I have no problem with being in spotlights, I may as well stay behind the scene, as hidden power is for me something even better than official one.
Favorite beverage: coffee, green tea, dark beer, Slivovitz; note about alcochols: I drink good ones,or I don't drink at all.
Favorite food: dishes including poultry meat; from minor things, I absolutel;y love fresh bakery and all kinds of cheese
Realistic or idealistic? too idealistic to my own good, I'm afraid
Egoistic or altruistic? egoistic
Kind or mean? kind
Gentle or rough? gentle
Do you think you are able to kill someone?
...to protect yourself or your beliefs? In self-defense, yes. As for my beliefs, one of them is letting people have their own, and in conflicts I always try to avoid drastic steps as long as possible. Besides, I'm not sure what I actually believe in, I mean "my beliefs" is a bit unconcrete term. I wouldn't kill for religion. But how about freedom? Another unconcrete term, I know, and it's not a place to discuss it. Let's say my life isn't threatened on the condition that I don't talk freely, can't have books, do only what I'm told... Even if we never come to live in a society the anti-utopists describe, violence has many faces: it may be physical, but also psychical. If you kill a person who is pushing you into suicide, does it count as a self-defense, when the person does not put a gun against your head, but makes your own hand to do it? I can't say honestly that I would *never* come to such state of mind that would make me kill.
...to protect people who are important to you? Those truly important to me (very few, so it's easy to keep track) are a part of me. It's self-defense to me, too.
...to protect society? For the anonymous group of people, no. If I knew at least some of them, perhaps.
Would you use someone in order to get what you want? Is there something wrong with doing so? Of course, much depends on the person and the kind of "little help", but I don't see asking people for help a shame. I've never said I'm perfect.
One of your teammates ends up getting captured during a mission. Would you try to rescue the member, even while it means jeopardizing the mission? Is the mission worth it? Anyway, I'm afraid I probably say "yes". As I said previously, I don't care about general ideas, including "missions" of any kind, as much as about concrete people. Sacrificing people for ideas is wrong. I take responsibility.
What if you are the captured member? Do you expect your team to rescue you? No, I know perfectly that I'm not important, being just a person who can be easily replaced. I don't believe they any team would risk their lives or anything important for my well-being - though I would like to believe that such team exists at all.
What do you think would be a reason of your joining any team (money, power, ideals, vengeance, loyalty, etc.)? I join various groups for various reasons. Some for money, I won't deny it, as I don't see anything bad in joining forces and sharing experiences to help each other. Vengeance is a personal thing, ideals are hard to define. Loyalty is one of the most important things to me.
Would you give up your freedom in order to reach your goal (money, revenge, etc.)? Don't we do it every day?
