How did you find out about this community? (Specify usernames if you remember them.) viperchurros <3


Personality Questions:

1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.)

--I am really loyal. Once you're my friend, you're my friend for life and I'll do anything for you. You actually have to work pretty hard to get rid of me.

--I'm nice! Actually that could be a flaw; sometimes I'm TOO nice and let people walk all over me. But I usually have soemthing kind to say to people, even if I'm only being polite.

--I'm sort of stupidly optimistic about/dedicated to things I am passionate about. I love to write and draw. I'm a fair writer, but I can't draw to save my life. Doesn't stop me from picking up a pencil and trying; I draw all the time. And no matter what I do creatively, I eat concrit up like I'm dying. I am constantly striving to improve myself.

2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses.

--I'm overly sensitive. I get butthurt very easily by remarks people don't remember making and then I worry about them at night for the next year until I finally get over it. Sometimes I bring it up in casual conversation just to make sure!

--I despise conflict and will go to unholy lengths to avoid it. Seriously, there is nothing I hate more than watching loved ones fight.

--I am a slob. Seriously, I don't clean things like I should! There is junk laying everywhere in my house.

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: I leave my house roughly once a week to go to a family dinner at a house two minutes away from mine. Part of it is because I have no transportation. I think the other part is my allergy to sunlight.

Cheerful [ ] [x ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: I'm usually pretty upbeat when nothing ~devastating~ is going on. I do get upset/ticked easily, but I'm quick to get over it, too.

Leader [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [x ] Supportive
Explain: Honestly, I love helping people around me. I sort of get off on the feel-good vibes doing Good Deeds will give you. I used to play FFXI and I'd always offer free money/items/teleports to folks if they needed it and I could spare it.

Confident [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ x] Modest
Explain: I have absolutely no confidence of self esteem. Nooooone. B(

Reserved [ ] [ ] [x ] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: It flip-flops around a lot depending on who I'm with. With friends, I can be incredibly impulsive, doing things on a whim. But more often than not I like to think things through before I do something I'll regret later.

Energetic [ ] [ ] [x ] [ ] [ ] Calm
Explain: I'm right in the middle because I'm usually pretty bipolar about that stuff. I'm either pretty chill when everyone else is bouncing off the walls or I'm going nuts when everyone else is like "LIZ, CALM DOWN"

Feminine [x ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I am girlier than Cecil. :'D Just not quite as pretty. (No offense to Cecil, of course, I love him, but he is very effeminite!)

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.

Oh God, I don't know. My kneejerk reaction is to say that I hate teamwork. I have bad experiences from group work at school; I'd spend the entire time trying to invisible or just trying to get it done so I could quit, because the other kids at school liked to pick on me a lot. But when I think about it, I co-wrote some porn recently and it was a lot of fun! I liked the group mentality and the creativity that went into it. I don't think I'd want to be in charge of anything either way, though.

5) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time?

Pretty much just creative things. I read, write, draw, stuff like that. I like music, too, both listening and playing, but I'm not very good at it. XD;

6) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you.

Novelist! It's truly the only thing I really want to do with my life. I love writing like I love air; I think of it when I get up and as I go to sleep, and I write every day.

If that fails, I'd be happy being a teacher, too. I had a terrible time in school and I'd love to make sure no one has to suffer through bullying unheard like I did.



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.

I really like FFV because of the characters and the adventure-type story. I love adventures, and I like the "fantasy" type FF games more than the ones with sci-fi elements.

I like FFIX for the same reason. There wasn't a single character I didn't love by the end, and the all-fantasy setting really made me happy.

But probably my favoritest favorite of all the faovites is FFVI. It's not usually my kind of game, but it was the first FF I was really into, and I RPed it and wrote so much fic for it for such a long time! I met pretty much my best bud through FFVI and it will always hold tons of special memories for me <3

8) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why:

Faris is probably at the top of my list. I've had an admiration for badass cross-dressing women since my Mulan days, and when it comes to the ninja vs pirate debate, I'm pirate all the way. I just think she's so cool. *_*

Coming in a close second would beLocke, because he's from FFVI and he's the one I RPed. I got inside his head as I did and to me, it gave him a lot of depth.

9) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why:

I relate to all of them a little, but the first answer that comes to mind is Lilisette from FFXI. hardly anyone's played that game, but I relate so strongly to her it's scary. Her story involves her traveling back in time to save her father from dying wile she was still a baby. My dad died when I was a baby, too, so I suppose that's just mostly situational.

Dagger/Garnet is the other one that comes to mind. She wants to be like normal people and learn more about the world, she just has has a little trouble getting it right sometimes. <3

10) The FF game you liked playing least:

FFII, without a doubt. I'm biased, though. I played the GBA version...got alll the way to the end, through those double towers of hell, and then realized there was no way I could beat the boss without leveling. And the monsters in the tower were ALREADY kicking my ass. I quit playing it. >_>

11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:
Terra! *braces self* I know she extraordinarily popular but she gets on my last nerve. It's one thing to be pure or innocent or whatever, but she's also naïve and ALWAYS under some kind of emotional distress, or she's being tee~hee sickeningly cute. She's like The Woobie times five million to me. She just feels very two-dimensional.

I do realize mostly that's fandom's reaction to her rather than Terra herself (Dissidia not included in that), but it still annoys me. ): I'll probably warm up to her next time I replay FF6. XD I have a hard time hating people when it's not logical.

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):

Kain's Lance from FFIX. The extra effect was "Confuse". Considering his constantly switching alliances, I thought that was pretty great.

13) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.):

Garuda! I'm most familiar with her FFXI version, which is absolutely gorgeous. <3 She's just very elegant!

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.):

HOLY. My favorite kind of FF magic is the kind where you use all your MP and kill everything on the screen. It's predictable from Black Mages, but when you get it from a harmless little White Mage it's kind of doubled up badassery.

I also really really really like Dark Wave. Like, really. It's so...suggestive. BD

15) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into:

Those damn Ceith stones in FFXIII. I spent soooo much time trying to kill everything. It was actually a little ridiculous. Then there's the crafting in FFXI. Practically all I ever did was fish and make fireworks.

16) Your favorite Cid:

FF4. He is such a badass, and he's hilarious, too!

17) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why.

awwwww :D I get an air of cuteness from you!!

Imma go with White Mage for you. What is up with all these WHITE MAGES?! lol

You seem supportive, and calm. But, you also have strong opinions. almost went with Black mage...but....you lean more towards the light and fluffy side *hugs* ^-^


TEAM MONK!!!

[viperchurros.livejournal.com]

Actually just cause I know you and how opinionated you can be I thought about Black Mage briefly, but actually, I dont think you're ever really forward about it...and when it comes to personality, esp. based on the stuff you put up here, it's White Mage all the way, baby! It's the wanting to support people, and the wanting to protect kids from suffering from bullying; traits of the other classes seem pretty pale next to your overwhelming...sweetness. The restraint you show in expressing negative thoughts adds to that for me. +The admiring/looking to others (and characters) for strength seems to be a Whm trait here

...Also, you like Dark Wave. B-E You know what that means.

(Hey now, Cecil is not EFFEMINATE. You should know better.)<3 love ya

I could definitely see you fitting into the White Mage job class quite easily! :) Loyal, nice, optimistic, and dedicated fit with pretty much all of the White Mages showcased in the games. They're also usually described as being rather peaceful people who dislike conflict and can sometimes be very sensitive to others' comments. They're also rather introverted but care greatly for those around them, are cheerful though they can get upset when situations call for it, and are incredibly supportive. White Mage characters tend to be rather modest as well in their mannerisms, and can be impulsive in some situations while rather reserved and cautious in others (it really just depends on what is going on around them), and they can also be in-between calm and energetic--usually being more calm unless something they're really excited about happens (in which case quite a few of them can get a bit more energetic at times :D). I could see a White Mage viewing teamwork in the same manner as you if they had a positive experience with it, and your reasoning for being a teacher fits with the White Mage class to me as well.

Ah, I loved seeing your thoughts on the FF fandom too! Not as many people have played FFXI (which is a shame, I loved the game dearly when I played it and the story/characters were quite memorable)...so it's always nice to see someone here who has! Yay for Lilisette and spending a ton of time crafting and fishing in FFXI! And FFIX is an amazing game too--always great to see love for it (haha, I'm convinced I'm going to love FFV and FFVI when I finally have the chance to play them from how everyone's talked about them here!). ♥

(OHAI)

I feel like being different (only that's not the actual reason) and I'm gonna go with Thief. Your cheerfulness and optimism is a definite Thief thing, and then there's the energicness (so not a word). I also really associate loyalty with Thieves, mostly thinking Rikku here to be honest.

[glacialphoenix]

I'm gonna say White Mage with a Thief streak for you! I feel that your traits - loyalty, niceness and optimism - work extremely well for both White Mages and Thieves, but you mentioned that you actually let people walk on you sometimes and I do feel that that is something a White Mage is more inclined to do, since they tend to be more self-effacing and willing to sacrifice. You also seem cheerful, cute and upbeat, and you seem to like being supportive and helping others without taking charge, which is more White Mage than Thief since Thieves like Zidane and Locke tend to take the initiative and lead more often than White Mages do.

[arivess.livejournal.com]

White Mage! Your entire app just gave me "AWWWWWW" vibes. >.> Except the part about porn. That was just XD vibes. >.>

It's kinda funny you say you dislike Terra, because you made me think of her a lot. XD; Not in a bad way, but, I've never seen her as the emotional duress tee-hee type, and I think you're similar to my view of her, at least.

AND I LOVE FFXI. <33333 Speaking of which, you sound like an even more generous white mage than me in there. *coughs* I usually charge people for things. >.>;

(See? See? Lilisette tag banner, I have. >.>)

[virago-queen.livejournal.com]

I too like White Mage for you, particularly the upbeat happy kind like Aeris, Eiko, and Vanille (does she count? O_o Or is she a Black Mage? I never can decide). You have the sweetness and protective instinct of Rosa, the opinionatedness of Porom, and the loyalty that all the white mages share. Plus, white mages tend to be quite girly.

when it comes to the ninja vs pirate debate, I'm pirate all the way

Oh heck yeah. Pirates are awesome.

[etsplanations.livejournal.com]

From questions 1-3, I see White Mage all the way -- kindness, aversion to conflict, high ratings on introversion, support, modesty and femininity. You seem sweet, genuine and open, any group would be happy to have you at their back (and probably worried to have you out of their sight!)

Holy was pretty much the cincher. I think the Cure and Life trees describe what I feel about this app better; their supposed purposes are to heal and restore, but can also be cast to inflict amusing amounts of damage and instant death against the type of enemy that supposedly pisses off White Mages the most. Support role with a hint of danger, but the pure, Holy Hand Grenade white mage kind :D

Neutral

[chacusha]

I don't have anything to add. You're definitely a White Mage, for reasons everyone has already mentioned!

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

I think I came to this party late because there's not really much left for me to explain for my vote (lolz, and now I feel unoriginal XD)! Like most of the people above me though, I am definitely seeing you as a White Mage (with some Thief on the side!). Most of your traits and general application answers remind me of *many* of the characters that would fit the White Mage job class...I think it is a perfect job class fit for you! ♥

~Oh, yay! You're a FFIX fan and you've played FFXI. AND YOU LIKE PIRATES! You're too awesome for words, hehe. XD

[zerrat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm seeing another White Mage here, what with how nice, supportive, caring and modest you are. White Mages usually tend to be on the feminine side (cue cries of outrage from Minwu and Hope) and as a whole you seem to want to do you best to help people out.

The relating to Garnet really clinches it for me, along with the favourite attack being Holy. :3

So I cast my vote for White Mage.

_____________

Team Black Mage

[accidental_overlord]

Not to be totally unoriginal but i am >.> i'm gonna say White Mage it was the first and final impression i got from your application from your strengths and weaknesses to your love of all things HOLY.

And a writer! maybe you can take Z off her high horse! XD

-Team Black Mage

Re: Team Black Mage

[zerrat.livejournal.com]

Wut, I'll have you know I am perfectly humble!

Besides. Sai and V and Ari can totally school me any day, I just happen to spam the comm a lot with my stuff! :3

[panda3035.livejournal.com]

White Mage. I find your positive and caring side really push out. Also, being overly sensitive and optimistic are very white magie.

[panda3035.livejournal.com]

whoops, Black Mage

[hilian.livejournal.com]

I am not very original but I have to agree with the White Mage votes for you. I have to admit that I also considered black mage at first, but many of your answers and especially how you described yourself, reminded me more of many white mages characters. You describe yourself as loyal, nice, overly sensitive, introverted, you prefer to follow than lead and the overall tone of your application made me think you're a White Mage.
