Wolverine
The Basics
Name: Robin
Age: 26
Gender: female
Location: in my mind
Your Weaknesses: I'm cynical, misanthropic, reclusive, taciturn, very bad at teamwork and public speaking, disinclined to share my feelings (uncommunicative), secretive, private, antisocial, very introverted with occasional wild and unmanageable periods of extroversion, moody, frequently morbid and pessimistic, sometimes very touchy and irritable (although that's fairly rare), fairly vicious and ruthless, high standards, disingenuous (in that I rarely show or say what I'm actually thinking, generally speaking I'll smile and act friendly even if I don't like you and really just want to get rid of you, alternatively I may just ignore you it depends on my mood), impulsive and a bit reckless, given to brooding, cold, disconnected, obsessive to the point that my obsessions tend to take over my life, addictive, inconstant (my interests and my focuses tend to shift around, I have different feelings towards people and the world in general depending on my mood and current obsessions, furthermore I have a tendency to drop things and people flat once I'm finished with/lose interest in them, and I'm also very bad at making a life plan and sticking with longterm goals I tend to live each day as it comes), snarky, sarcastic, stubborn, contrary, perverse, a bit of an anarchist, disinclined to volunteer my help and support, generally lacking in social skills
Your Strengths: I'm intelligent, intense, determined, driven (when I'm interested in something), spirited, tenacious, good at figuring out how things work, good at reading people, multi talented (I tend to excel at whatever I put my mind to), creative, original, thoughtful (in that I think), imaginative, deep, complicated (although that may or may not be a good thing), extremely devoted to the people and things that I truly care about, competitive, a total perfectionist (if I'm going to do something it has to be done well or I'll never be happy with it), curious, open-minded, easily entertained, many interests, good listener, pretty adaptable, adventurous (I'll try pretty much anything once), usually calm and detached, polite (superficially at least), strong sense of justice, idealistic streak that I rarely indulge in, I'm logical and although I can be impulsive I tend to think before I do anything too potentially important or life altering, opinionated (even though I often don't bother to share them), I'm honorable in my own way (I keep my promises, I won't work with people who I don't respect, etc.), skillful, I have a pretty good memory, I'm in good physical shape, fast, flexible, striking, good hand/eye coordination, pretty strong.
Your Talents: Like I said I tend to pick things up very quickly. I'm fairly good at martial arts and can more or less hold my own with a variety of weapons, I learn languages pretty easily (although I forget them pretty easily too if I don't practice them). I've got a natural talent for most types of art (I'm especially fond of drawing caricatures and sculpting). I like to think that I can sing, but I'm really not sure that's the case, I have a good memory for dialogs and speeches and I like to memorize them and recite them to myself. I'm also pretty good at imitating voices.
Favorites
Favorite Color(s) and why? Black, deep reds and silver. I like most deep, dark colors, can't stand pastels, black is probably my favorite. I can't say why really, it just appeals to me.
Favorite X-Men Character(s) and why? I have a few, so in no particular order, Wolverine because he's an anti-social complicated loner and I can relate to that. I like comic book Rogue because she is tough and feisty but I don't really care for her in the movies so much. Gambit was always a fun character because he was a bit of a scoundrel (goody-two-shoes get on my nerves), Exodus, he's a very cool villain, very powerful and interesting, and finally Nightcrawler because I like his personality and his sense of humor.
Favorite Animal(s) and why? caracals (desert lynxes) are my absolute favorites. They're solitary tough little felines and pretty darn cool looking in my opinion. I also like most kinds of foxes (particularly fennecs) and wolves.
Favorite Place(s) and why? It depends on my mood. Sometimes I like being in a big city like New York, but I get sick of all the noises and people pretty quickly. I like being by myself in quiet uninhabited places but that gets boring after a while, and I crave a little more variety. Basically I just prefer to vary my locale depending on how I'm feeling at the moment.
Favorite Movie(s) and why? There Will Be Blood, because it's so quotable and Daniel Plainview is a fascinating protagonist. Sweeney Todd, because I like the original stage musical and think that Tim Burton did a brilliant job bringing it to the big screen, and Seven Samurai because it's a classic and I have a fondness for swordfighting and Japanese culture.
Favorite Book(s) and why? My current favorite is probably The Road. It's a brilliantly grim book.
Favorite Television Show(s) and why? I don't really watch much TV and if I do it's usually football (by which I mean soccer not the American version). I used to watch MST3K all the time when it was on, generally though I prefer the British comedy series like A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Blackadder, Are You Being Served, and Black Books, as well as the Irish series Father Ted.
Favorite Food(s) and why? Coffee, Tomato sauce, and pretzels. Why? Because.
X-Men Related
Which character (no matter how obscure) would you like to be your best friend? Why? I think Nightcrawler. He's a nice guy with a good sense of humor so he'd probably be a hoot to have as a friend.
Which character would you like to be involved with romantically? Why? I wouldn't mind comic book Rogue apart from the little hang-up about her powers. Actually I think Mystique, that would be interesting.
If it was between joining the Brotherhood of Mutants or the X-Men which team would you probably wind up joining? Uh, neither? I'm not really a team player. If I'm pressed I guess I might go with the Brotherhood, because honestly the way that humanity tends to treat mutants doesn't deserve the understanding reconciliatory attitude of the X-men. I also generally speaking have more respect for Magneto than I do for Professor X (although maybe not in the third movie after how he treats Mystique, that was just stupid).
Which character’s power would you most like to have? Well Rogue is an obvious choice because if you had that you could just absorb any other mutant's power. Mystiques ability would be right up there too though.
Would you have chosen the Cure over living life as a mutant? Why or why not? No. The very thought of there being a cure for mutation is pretty offensive. Even if your power can be awkward it's who you are, and acting like its something that needs to be cured is just agreeing with all the bigots who think your a freak. So no way, I'll deal with my mutation thank you.
Digging Deeper
If you knew that you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do? I'd behave like a wild and crazy thing. I'd drink tons of coffee and booze (maybe take up smoking), drag out my weapons collection, go somewhere crowded, and try to make a big, noisy, memorable bang before I went out.
Put the following words in order according to your priorities: Self, Money, Love, Power, Family
Power (if by power you mean independence, self-reliance and the ability to choose how to live my life), Love (by which I mean passionate feelings in general not necessarily romantic love), Family (by which I mean the people I truly care about), Self (because while I highly value individuality and self-reliance I hate selfishness, entitlement and people who think they are the center of the universe, I hope that I care more about protecting my loved ones than myself), and finally Money (nothing against money it just doesn't rank as high as the other things on the list).
