Sorry for that! ><;;
The Basics:
Name: Ariana or Pelly. I usually do the Pelly thing online or with gamers, but for a while now I've scrapped it.
Age: 21
Location: USA
Occupation: Doggy walker/phone picker-upper/delivery girl extraordinaire! Even though I don't really deliver anything anymore.
How did you find out about this community? (Specify usernames if you remember them.) thedrowned
Personality Questions:
1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.)
1) Helpful. Or at least I try to be. I think if I can't help someone I get pretty upset, especially when it seems like the solution should be pretty simple. I try, but I'm only human.
2) Polite. I don't like to be rude. I try my best to be polite, even if it's obvious the person is being a pain. I think it's a skill I might have refined from my phone picker-upper job, because we do get calls from angry consumers sometimes.
3) Problem-solver. Or at least I try! I don't always win games, but in real life, I try to at least give some kind of possible solution. It's almost like a balance to me! (That sounds a little cold, huh?) I just mean that when there's an issue, I like to play peacemaker, because people can take sides way too easily.
2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses.
1) Not very open. I'm pretty friendly, but I don't really like to talk about myself *too* much. Some people call it humble, but I just think that there are some things people should keep to themselves. Like I said, I'm human! I try hard to be good, but I've made mistakes I'm afraid to talk about. Of course, I usually end up talking about myself anyway, so I usually just avoid the bad stuff. ^_^
2) Nosey. Just a little. It kind of goes hand in hand with the problem-solver bit. I like to get in people's business, and if I want to help people, I can't not know what's going on. Though sometimes I go a little too far. Usually a firm warning is enough to get me to stop, but I have been known to try to come back in. So I'm super sorry just in case I ever annoy anyone here!
3) Apathetic. Sometimes I just don't think we should worry about stuff, you know? But then I get so blah about stuff that I come off like I don't care at all. I have accidentally hurt people's feelings like that! I really don't mean to, just that I totally think some stuff is water under the bridge.
4) I wanted to throw this one in because it's something that happens a lot and is kind of like "tied" in third place. I can be super naive sometimes, or even oblivious I guess. I can pick my three biggest flaws no problem. But I think most of them are fuelled by this trait, which is not usually a big deal on its own... but it shows up *everywhere*!
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: Ummm... I think? I don't really know! I don't often look into myself because I think "meh. I'm me!" But I think I'm pretty outgoing, but I don't think I would start any conversations. I just kind of go with the flow, I guess.
Cheerful [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: Hmm. Guess this is the middle, too. I'm not too super hyper like I used to be since I graduated. I've calmed down *a lot*. And I do sometimes get a little depressed about my job(s). Every now and then my old hyper side might come out, but I think it's still neatly tucked away safe and sound. So I guess I'm in the middle most of the time.
Reserved [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: I'm totally putting thought into these! D: But I do think I'm in the middle. I know that lots of times I'll just jump into things if I think they sound like a good idea. But other things where the end results might be affected by a small mistake, I usually have to think about it a little. So far, it's really been about equal.
Energetic [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Calm
Explain: Oh jeez. Sorry! I think I'm pretty upbeat, but I do like to relax. Too much activity is just really stressful! But I don't like sitting around too long, that's just boring. Hee.
Feminine [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: O_O;; Sorry everyone. But I do think it's all middle for me here, too. I have pretty things and all, and I'm kind of like Misty from Pokemon, you know? She hates bugs, and I wig out bad when I see some. I like to paint my nails, but I'm not really a fashionista type of person. I'd rather wear way more comfy stuff and go play video games with my brother or go garden or something. I guess it depends on the activity!
Grudge-holding [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] Forgiving
Explain: Yay, something not in the middle! LOL! At least, for this one, especially when I know it was just an accident, I get over it pretty fast. There are some things I'll never forgive, you know? Things people did to me, did to my mother and sister. But there's not so much cruelty in the world that you should hate every person that wrongs you, you know? ^_^
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.
Ooooh, good question! When I was in high school, I liked being the leader. I would usually boss people around. ^^ But I'm not like that too much anymore. I'm mostly just a "follower" now. Does that make sense? I don't think I would know what to do now if I was randomly made a leader! I have some good ideas...but I always tell whoever's boss first. I work okay in teams as long as you just tell me what to do and are okay if you don't mind too much feedback.
5) Spider-Man Decision: If you had to choose between saving two dozen innocent children and saving your best friend/significant other/person closest to you, which would you pick and why?
What a horrible question. Eee. Oh no. Ummm...... Can I say "run away crying"? ^^;; I'm sorry, I don't think I could *ever* choose that. I would probably just stand around yelling helplessly until something happened. All life is precious, and a choice like that...wow, I could *never* live with myself. If I was Superwoman, I would totally save all of them. Superman and Superwoman wouldn't take that choice, no way. *does the Matrix philosophy*
6) Your friend has had their feelings hurt and comes to you for consolation. What do you do? Let's say, two days later they come to you again still upset over the same issue. What would you do in that case?
I would totally ask if there was anything I could do! People in pain is a very unhappy thing, I think. Depending on what it was, I would probably try to fix it myself. Like you know, if it was someone just being mean? If they were to come back later with the same thing, then I probably couldn't fix it! And I would probably tell them that there are just things you can't change and that maybe they could do/try/move something to lessen the problem or avoid it altogether. :)
7) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time?
Well, mostly, I just do video game stuff. I used to write a lot but I kind of lost touch with that. That's kind of why I was interested in this place, since it might give me the opportunity to try again! I mostly do outdoorsy stuff, like gardening and I'll go hiking or since summer's here, SWIMMING!!! XD I guess that's why I sometimes am not online, because I'm outside and there's not much I can do since my phone is lame and has no internet, LOL.
8) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you.
Oh, I'm super sorry, I made a promise to myself to never talk about the job in specifics. Know why? Because I feel like that traps you into stuff! If I *could*, I think I'd switch jobs every day. You'd never have any idea what I was doing next. But I guess the thing that seems to always be in the jobs I pick are helping people. Oh, if I had the money, I would totally go to school to be a nurse!! Or I'd go in the army and be a medic! (Nevermind I'm way to weak for that ;_;) And it doesn't have to be people, either. I walk dogs for a living! I'm helping out people who are out of town so their pets can enjoy themselves at their own house instead of some crappy doggy motel. Whoa, this answer was long. x_x
FF Questions:
9) List one to three favorite Final Fantasy games and why you like them. Sequels/spin-offs/non-numbered/KH/Dissidia games are okay.
Final Fantasy 7: It was the first one I ever played, and I'll never forget it ever! The story was so amazing and so rich, I was like... 10 or something when I first played and I was amazed. I missed ton of the game because I was so young, but then I played it again when I was 16 and it got even better. And then I played it again last year and I liked it even more! I like that everything in the entire universe is at stake and it's not just one planet... even though the death of that planet is what is most important at the time. You guys will neeeeeever guess who my favorite character is! >:3
Final Fantasy 8: I am really sorry, because I have to admit, I've never actually played any of the FFs before 7 except 3 (DS), which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thedrowned showed me. It was super cute, but I guess I kind of like the SERIOUS BUSINESS games. Which is kinda why I like 8. The story was all so serious and very important. I like the characters (even though I totally think the "omg we're all from the same orphanage we just ttly can't remember lol" was the worst writer cop-out EEEEVER), and there's a lot of pain, some that I can't relate to and some that is so close I cry a little.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Out of left field? Yeah, I don't blame you. I'm a really big Nintendo fangirl, and after FF10, the games just kind of stopped being "good", you know? Until GameCube FF! I was 17 when I played it, I was so excited. I love it a lot and played the sequels (or prequels) because of the amazement on NGC! They don't really come close, though. It had such unique gameplay and the one that started the races and their specialties. It's full of lots of sadness, too.
(Whoa, what is it with me and sad games? LOL sorry ^_^)
10) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why:
FF7: Besides the character you'll never guess, mwahahahaha, I really, really like Red XIII. I guess Aeris is a close second, but Nananki kind of makes me wish there were more people like him, you know? Intelligent, soft-spoken, RESERVED. I like reserved people, because when people just talk and talk and talk, they usually end up saying more crap than they should be. LOL! (Ooops, I guess I'm kind of like that. -_-)
FF8: I used to like Selphie a lot, but when I played recently, I realized whoa, she's crazy! She likes to blow stuff up and beat people. So I guess my favorite is Quistis. She's smart and strong and leader material. Totally unlike me, hahaaaha. I felt bad because she had a crush on Squall and couldn't really get him, but I think there could be some Squall/Quistis love, right? Right? :D
Crystal Chronicles: De Nam's pretty cool for a Selkie and he's a close second, but I like Amidatty best. He played off the "world model" like he had no idea it was just bannock. But I like him, because he's trying to make a difference in the world by using science and research, which the world lacks *badly*. Which just means he's all the smarter and awesome that your typical Yuke. If I could, I would join his caravan! (Except I think I'm more Selkie than anything.)
11) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why:
Ummmm...that's a tough question. I kind of try to distance myself from in game characters unless they have a story like mine, and my story's pretty boring and I don't play boring games LOL.
*EDIT:* Okay, I took a little Which FF Character Are You thing because I was having a really hard time with this, and I guess I find myself relating to Zidane. (Even though he's a total skirt chaser.) I think it's because I'm pretty okay with life and I like to help people, even though inside I sometimes feel like the past just *wants* to haunt me and I sometimes feel alone because of it. But like Zidane, I know that as long as I have my friends and the ones I love then it's all good! Right? His song? You're Not Alone! 8D
12) The FF game you liked playing least:
I guess Final Fantasy 12. I really like the Tactics games, you know? But I hate the political focus. And I hated that about 12. And what was worse is that the battle system... I have no idea what's going on there. And I felt like people playing were just like Vaan and Penelo: just bystanders. I hate politics and I'm tired of the stuff that happens in real life I don't think I want to deal with *more* political strife. So all of that just kind of made the game boring and kind of unpleasant, and I never beat it.
13) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:
Amarant. I don't really get his personality and why everything has to be a game for him. I guess the writers got lazy or something, because I think he could have had more than just :|||||| and ".....whatever" than he did. And his attitude? Yeah. No thanks.
And um, even though I love FF8, I can't stand Irvine. What a jerk. At least with someone like Zidane, it's funny! But with Irvine it's kinda annoying. And I hate when guys hit on girls to no end. You think they like that? They don't, Mr. Kinneas. I'm sure even with some cutesy Selphie/Irvine that some people like, he'd still be shooting horny looks at girls he doesn't even know. Gross.
14) 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):
I think Ultima Weapon is my choice here. It's always different in each game, and....... this might sound kind of weird, but I think of the Ultima Weapon as a rite of passage. Does that make sense? For a player, well sometimes you need a super rare item or you have to go in a tough dungeon to find it. But just picture it from the characters' point of view. He has to give up something good or he has to risk his life in a creepy dungeon so he can get the strongest weapon. It's like the ultimate reward for doing a good job. Some day, I'll be like them and do something strong and get a great reward. Until then, I'll just stick with the mythril stuff. ;_;
15) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.):
I guess I kind of like the cute ones. Sometimes I just like to use them because they're cute, even if using them isn't really in my strategy? Like Carbuncle. I like using him because he's cute, but I usually can't use it because then I want to heal and then whoops!
16) 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.):
Umm... I don't know. How about overdrives? Those are lots of fun, because you can use them with low HP as much as you want but have to work to still get them going. Like Lulu's. Right stick rotation! Hurryhurryhurryhurry!
17) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into:
Guess it's chocobo stuff. I don't really like to do too many side quests if there isn't some usefulness to them. And doing 7 chocobos and 9 chocobos really get you good bonuses, so I usually go all out with them.
18) Your favorite Cid:
I'm going to be super weird and self-centered or something and say Cid Mar Berbier. He's a Cid I made up for a Tactics Advance sequel. Or... prequel? I'm not sure. But he was related to Ezel Berbier and he's a genius, if eccentric. Usually I'm not too into the Cids. I get the appeal, of having a running joke. But, except for 7 Cid, they don't really serve much purpose, do they? Cid Mar has a huge role to play, so he's my favorite. LOL!
19) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why.
I'm probably not a dragoon, but I guess it's up to you to decide. I think they're way too serious for my tastes, and besides Cid, I don't know a very not-so-serious dragoon...... actually I guess Cid Highwind's still pretty serious. ._.

3) Problem-solver. Or at least I try! I don't always win games, but in real life, I try to at least give some kind of possible solution. It's almost like a balance to me! (That sounds a little cold, huh?) I just mean that when there's an issue, I like to play peacemaker, because people can take sides way too easily.
2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses.
1) Not very open. I'm pretty friendly, but I don't really like to talk about myself *too* much.

I have accidentally hurt people's feelings like that! I really don't mean to, just that I totally think some stuff is water under the bridge.
4) I wanted to throw this one in because it's something that happens a lot and is kind of like "tied" in third place. I can be super naive sometimes, or even oblivious I guess. I can pick my three biggest flaws no problem. But I think most of them are fuelled by this trait, which is not usually a big deal on its own... but it shows up *everywhere*!

Explain: I'm totally putting thought into these! D: But I do think I'm in the middle. I know that lots of times I'll just jump into things if I think they sound like a good idea. But other things where the end results might be affected by a small mistake, I usually have to think about it a little. So far, it's really been about equal.

I love it a lot and played the sequels (or prequels) because of the amazement on NGC! They don't really come close, though. It had such unique gameplay and the one that started the races and their specialties. It's full of lots of sadness, too.
(Whoa, what is it with me and sad games? LOL sorry ^_^)
10) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why:
FF7: Besides the character you'll never guess, mwahahahaha, I really, really like Red XIII. I guess Aeris is a close second, but Nananki kind of makes me wish there were more people like him, you know? Intelligent, soft-spoken, RESERVED. I like reserved people, because when people just talk and talk and talk, they usually end up saying more crap than they should be. LOL! (Ooops, I guess I'm kind of like that. -_-)

Crystal Chronicles: De Nam's pretty cool for a Selkie and he's a close second, but I like Amidatty best. He played off the "world model" like he had no idea it was just bannock. But I like him, because he's trying to make a difference in the world by using science and research, which the world lacks *badly*. Which just means he's all the smarter and awesome that your typical Yuke. If I could, I would join his caravan! (Except I think I'm more Selkie than anything.)
11) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why:
Ummmm...that's a tough question. I kind of try to distance myself from in game characters unless they have a story like mine, and my story's pretty boring and I don't play boring games LOL.
*EDIT:* Okay, I took a little Which FF Character Are You thing because I was having a really hard time with this, and I guess I find myself relating to Zidane. (Even though he's a total skirt chaser.) I think it's because I'm pretty okay with life and I like to help people, even though inside I sometimes feel like the past just *wants* to haunt me and I sometimes feel alone because of it. But like Zidane, I know that as long as I have my friends and the ones I love then it's all good! Right? His song? You're Not Alone! 8D

So all of that just kind of made the game boring and kind of unpleasant, and I never beat it.
13) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:
Amarant. I don't really get his personality and why everything has to be a game for him. I guess the writers got lazy or something, because I think he could have had more than just :|||||| and ".....whatever" than he did. And his attitude? Yeah. No thanks.
And um, even though I love FF8, I can't stand Irvine. What a jerk. At least with someone like Zidane, it's funny! But with Irvine it's kinda annoying. And I hate when guys hit on girls to no end. You think they like that? They don't, Mr. Kinneas. I'm sure even with some cutesy Selphie/Irvine that some people like, he'd still be shooting horny looks at girls he doesn't even know. Gross.
14) 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):
I think Ultima Weapon is my choice here. It's always different in each game, and....... this might sound kind of weird, but I think of the Ultima Weapon as a rite of passage. Does that make sense? For a player, well sometimes you need a super rare item or you have to go in a tough dungeon to find it. But just picture it from the characters' point of view. He has to give up something good or he has to risk his life in a creepy dungeon so he can get the strongest weapon. It's like the ultimate reward for doing a good job. Some day, I'll be like them and do something strong and get a great reward. Until then, I'll just stick with the mythril stuff. ;_;
15) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.):
I guess I kind of like the cute ones. Sometimes I just like to use them because they're cute, even if using them isn't really in my strategy? Like Carbuncle. I like using him because he's cute, but I usually can't use it because then I want to heal and then whoops!
16) 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.):
Umm... I don't know. How about overdrives? Those are lots of fun, because you can use them with low HP as much as you want but have to work to still get them going. Like Lulu's. Right stick rotation! Hurryhurryhurryhurry!
17) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into:
Guess it's chocobo stuff. I don't really like to do too many side quests if there isn't some usefulness to them. And doing 7 chocobos and 9 chocobos really get you good bonuses, so I usually go all out with them.
18) Your favorite Cid:
I'm going to be super weird and self-centered or something and say Cid Mar Berbier. He's a Cid I made up for a Tactics Advance sequel. Or... prequel? I'm not sure. But he was related to Ezel Berbier and he's a genius, if eccentric. Usually I'm not too into the Cids. I get the appeal, of having a running joke. But, except for 7 Cid, they don't really serve much purpose, do they? Cid Mar has a huge role to play, so he's my favorite. LOL!
19) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why.
I'm probably not a dragoon, but I guess it's up to you to decide. I think they're way too serious for my tastes, and besides Cid, I don't know a very not-so-serious dragoon...... actually I guess Cid Highwind's still pretty serious. ._.
