Application

The Basics:

Name: Brittany (demuredreams)
Age:20
Location:America
Occupation:Photographer/Crafter
How did you find out about this community? (Specify usernames if you remember them.)

Personality Questions:

1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.)
1. Honesty. I am very honest. I like truth and think that lying (unless you're protecting someone) is pointless. 2. Open. I'm very open to people once I get to know you. Sometimes I wear my heart on my sleeve. Sometimes that gets me hurt, sometimes it makes better friends. 3. Bubbly. Sometimes, depending on the situation, I'm very bubbly. This includes laughing until you cry and doing DDR when you're in your 20's. Fun/cute things like that ^-^

2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses.
1. Impulsive speaking. Sometimes I say things before they are well thought out in my head. I'll be honest, but sometimes, others aren't that way. They take it as being mean? 2. Quiet. I'm quiet till I get to know you, therefore, it takes longer to get to know me. This is something that I think is a weakness and wish I could change. 3. Hmm, I can't nail down my third weakness but Its also my strength sometimes going back to Wearing my heart on my sleeve. There are some things that move me and make me very emotional. Sometimes its good and bad I guess.

3) Rate yourself on the following traits by putting an 'X' in the box you think fits best. (E.g. if you are slightly more introverted than extroverted, put an 'X' in the second box.) Explain your choice as well.

Introverted [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] [ ] Extroverted
Explain:If I know you I am extroverted. If I don't know you, I am very, VERY Introverted. Extroverted as in, I will tell you about myself, what i've been through, and will act fun and outgoing if I get to know you very well. If you are new in my life, I probably won't volunteer much information about myself, 1. because I don't know if you'll be a friend in the future and 2. because my business is my business if I don't know you or like you ~_^

Cheerful [ ] [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: Again, depending on what we are doing, I will usually be pretty bubbly. I like to be happy about most things unless something dumb is happening :)

Leader [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Supportive
Explain: I support my family and my friends unless they are hurting themselves or hurting others, then i'll speak up. Being a supportive person is important to me, everyone needs to lean on someone every once in a while.

Confident [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Modest
Explain: Even though people sometimes say nice things about the way I look, I dress fairly modestly and try to act modest. Unless I'm around my husband, then I'm fairly confident.

Reserved [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: I like to do things that make my heart race. Acting impulsively does this. Roller coasters, driving where i've never been is fun! Because normally I never do these things, people who see me in action are taken by surprise at some of my interests such as roller coasters, traveling, etc.

Energetic [ ] [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] Calm
Explain: I'm fairly energetic when it comes to having fun, etc. If I am passionate about a subject, I will defend it. I'm calm when I'm bored or depressed usually I think.

Feminine [ ] [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I'm fairly girly when it comes to dress and outward appearance. Tomboyish when its night-time and i'm lounging around. I surround myself with cute things when possible. I don't speak like a boy, so I wouldn't classify myself as very Tomboyish i guess?

4) Describe how you typically work in teams. Is it generally a good experience, or do you prefer working by yourself? Do you like to lead and make decisions or do you prefer to let others make decisions so that you can do the legwork? You may find it helpful to give an example of a team you worked on recently and how that went. - I don't like to lead in group activities very much, I just like to have fun and play and enjoy the ride. Leadership requires lots of responsibility and I've had too much of that in my life already. Its very stressful. I will help the leader if I can, and help behind the scenes. Recently we took a trip with a church group to panama. We were playing volley ball and someone on our team was a very LEADER type. He would get mad if I missed a pass, or a serve. I told him I just wanted to have fun and he said the point in playing was to win....So I left the game because it became a very UN-Enjoyable experience for me. No laughing, all work and no playing even though it was a VOLLEYBALL GAME.

5) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time? - I like spending my free time reading, crafting, gaming, cleaning, and cooking. Photography is my #1 hobby. I love it and never want to do anything else.

6) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you. Hmmm A career in Art, Full Time would be ideal to me. I love creating and not having to work an office job to do it would be nice.

FF Questions:

7) List one to three favorite Final Fantasy games and why you like them. Sequels/spin-offs/non-numbered/KH/Dissidia games are okay. Kingdom Hearts 1&2 will always remain my favorite. The story of the 3 main characters has always had my heart. But, My favorite game to date is probably FFXIII. Its beautiful, the story is beautiful and the gameplay style combines elements from X/X-2 and XII with ease.

8) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why: Tifa, because of her bad-assery. Lightning, because of her bad-assery and courage and heart. Lastly, Yuna, just because she defeated Sin and made some tough decisions.

9) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why: Hmm the one I relate to the most is Lightning. She is an older sister and carries some traits I think I posses.

10) The FF game you liked playing least: X. Because Tidus Sucked, the gameplay was boring and I was sick of all the whining that takes place in that game.

11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why: I dislike any character that has a weird little tick like 'YA and just says one word (we all know the two i'm talking about lol) But if I have to choose, Shinra from the X's and Cloud in VII. Shinra is annoying and Cloud is so emo my heart bleeds lol.

12) Favorite weapon in a Final Fantasy game (either the name if you liked the name, or a picture if you liked the look of it, or a description if it had awesome stats/abilities): The Dark Knight Costumes in X-2 were amazing (if you are like me and just HAD to get that sphere) but the weapons are even more amazing. They look so awesome and not to mention are powerful. Even Rikku picks up a sword for this.

13) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.): All time favorite is definitely SHIVA.

14) Your favorite spell/ability/technique that can be learned in a Final Fantasy game (e.g. Esuna, Steal, special finishes/overdrives such as Tifa's Final Heaven limit break, etc.): ESUNA. I can't tell you how many times it saved my butt!!!!

15) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into: OMG. Getting all the dress-spheres in X-2 and the Chocobo quests. AHHH!!

16) Your favorite Cid: Hrmmmm...Cid in Final Fantasy VII was pretty Bad-A.

17) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why. Hmm. Maybe not a warrior? I don't really know ~_^

There will be many who lean towards thief for you, but ultimately I see you as being a more feminine and modest type of Monk, like Tifa. The honesty is what really gets me, along with above average scores in impulsiveness and energy (see: Zell, Sabin). Monks tend to be emotional (see: Snow, Zell).

Thanks for voting on my app <3

^-^

I was teetering towards Thief for a lot of this app, but I'm gonna have to agree with Zerrat and go for Monk. I think it's the impulsiveness thing that's really the clincher, along with how you often say things without thinking about them - bluff and honest, exactly how I see a Monk character.

Thanks for voting on my app :D :D

Despite how blunt & honest you are as the others said with the Monk class, I'm going to say Thief. Despite a lot of Monk qualities, I see a lot of characters such as Rikku, Yuffie, and Zidane in you. Excitable, willing to try new things, your bubbly attitude and constant enthusiasm - I believe you're a bit peppier than the Monk class. So, as I said, Thief, from me.

Thank you for the vote! <3

xo.

I'm going to be a sheep and say Monk too... I have the same reasoning, you seem almost like thief, but not quite. There's something a bit different, and while you're pretty cheerful and energetic, it doesn't seem the same kind as thief.

Thanks for the vote on my app!

I see a lot of Monk too! I think Monks like Tifa, Zell, Snow, and Prishe are very honest; open; able to appreciate having fun; impulsive; wear their hearts on their sleeves; and can sometimes have quiet tendencies. Many Monks tend to be in-between introverted/extroverted; lean more towards cheerful; supportive; tend to lean more towards modest; more impulsive; are fairly energetic; and the female Monk characters don't tend to be super tomboyish despite being more physical fighters (Tifa and Prishe are pretty feminine in their outward appearances, at any rate!). Many of the Monk characters (besides Snow) are more than happy to not lead in team situations and just have fun in the group...but they'll also offer their support to a leader pretty readily as well. I think Monk characters like Tifa are often portrayed as being supportive big sister types, so your relation to Lightning because of that reminded me of the Monk class as well. :)

Really? :D

Lightning and Tifa have some things In common I guess. Thanks for voting on my app.

I am a little torn, but in the end, I think I would have to say Thief, though I can't say I disagree entirely with others who have pointed out the Monk similarities. You seem very bouncy, it came out in the way you wrote your answers. Also, the leadership answer, wanting to hang back and leave the big decisions to others kind of closed it for me.

Thank you for the vote on my app! :D

I'm going to go out on a limb and say White Mage, specifically one with traits of Aeris and Yuna. You're not outgoing enough to be a Thief, and not tomboyish or confident enough to be a Monk. White Mages, however, can be modest, introverted, feminine, very supportive, and cheerful. They can also fairly sisterly to their other party members. I also see threads of Black Mage, with characters like Terra and Lulu, but I don't think they're cheerful enough to match you (except maybe Rinoa).

Also, hi Brittany! You forgot to put my name down as a referral. =P

HEE HEE! :D I'd say you have a bit more insight as to how I really am.

AND YES!!!! Virago_Queen is my referral!!!

I think I'm going to vote for Monk for you, with some Thief as well - there are certainly traits you share with both classes (honesty and impulsiveness), but you're a little more reserved than the Thief characters tend to be. And Monks tend to be a little more supportive IMO - the Thief characters tend to try to take charge more.

Thank you for the vote on my app!

:)

xo.

Hmm...I could see quite a bit of Thief, Black Mage, and White Mage in your application at times, but I think overall I'm leaning more towards a Monk vote as well. At this point it's really just going to be repeating what's already been said, but many of your strengths and weaknesses (as well as how you responded to the later trait questions) just really had me thinking of Monk characters such as Sabin, Tifa, Prishe, Ursula, Snow, and Zell. :D

Thank you for the vote on my app!

xo.

Your application screams Rikku to me. I can see and agree with a lot of the other people's reasoning in regards to the monk class, but two main things draw me more towards Thief than monk: 1. Your "bubbliness" and cheerfullness, and 2. your "Having Fun" attitude. The second in particular doesn't say monk to me at all, as some Monks (e.i. Amarant, Zell) are very competitive and serious about winning. As for the first, I don't necessarily equate energetic (e.i. Zell) with bubbly. Also, monks tend to be more Tomboyish than feminine. Therefore, my vote goes to Thief.

Thanks for the vote to my app! :D

xo.

You emphasized your impulsiveness the most in your application. To me that pretty much says Monk =)

They are honest, straightforward and blunt. While you definitely have the personality suited to Thieves as well, i.e happy, cheerful, enthusiastic, you say that it really depends on the situation, only if you know the person or are comfortable with him/her. I picture you as a more cautious Zell and Tifa haha...

Omg I'm Team Monk btw. /forgot to put class name

Thank you for the vote on my app! xo. I appreciate it!

B.

My very first thought was Thief, but as I read on I switched that to Monk as well. There are more examples of introverted monks in the series, or at least monks who are quiet at first, but many still tend to be impulsive and energetic, especially after they get to know someone better. (Particularly in the sense of Sabin, Ursula, Josef, Tifa...) They often are more supportive, cheerful, honest, emotional... I can also see Monks appreciating traits like courage and badassery more easily than most of the other classes.

Thanks for the vote!

I know!!! The Dark Knight outfits were so cool, I agonized over getting that freaking sphere for hours and hours because i knew I wanted it on my second playthrough :D

Thanks!

I feel so unoriginal but I see Monk for you, with a lot of Thief as well. You remind me a lot of characters like Snow, Zell, Sabin and Tifa, especially because of your best/worst traits. Monks are usually very honest, open, bubbly, impulsive and emotional. You also mentioned you're energetic so I can definitely see a lot of Monk in your answers.

I can see a bit of Thief in your application ( Especially in your "rate yourself" section ) and I can also see a bit of Soldier, but in the end I have to agree with the above votes for Monk. How you described yourself, and especially your negative traits, remind me of Monk and I think many monk characters are pretty honest and direct, impulsive but also cheerful/bubbly most of the time, supportive and energetic.

(http://s28.photobucket.com/albums/c227/ElGenio1/banner%20FF/?action=view&current=lockebanner.jpg)

Yeppp I definitely agree you're a Monk. You said you both are honest and wear your heart on your sleeve. This immediately made me think monk because they tend to be straightforward; they don't pretend to be anything that they're not.

Then everything else in the app fit as well -- impulsive speaking, ability to be outgoing or introverted depending on who you're with, leaning cheerful, supportive, impulsive, and energetic -- very monk-ish. :)

Ugh my comment, it's deleted. Okay so in short:
I find it funny how we seem to like similar characters (maybe besides Tifa) and then i saw you dislike the ones i really like/forever alone. Anyways, to my vote; I am getting pretty Thief-ish vibe from your application. You're cheerful, energetic, supportive like them. Monks also strike me as more tomboy-ish while you said you're more feminine (although i can see quit some monk in you too). While some of the thieves in older games are calmer, thieves like Rikku can be impulsive when talking too. Thieves also strike me as fun, playful, cheerful and supportive which is a vibe i get from you.
