How did you find out about this community? (Specify usernames if you remember them.) Final Fantasy Community
Personality Questions:
1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.) Loyal, respectful, & helpful? I'm extremely loyal to the people I care about. I'm respectful of other people and usually always considering everyone around me. And if anyone around me needs help, I will drop everything to do what I can.
2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses. I'm stubborn and very set in my ways. I can be demanding, expecting loyalty and respect of people in my life. And I can be a bit unforgiving of people who lie/cheat/disrespect me, I'm not one of those "forgive and forget" kind of people.
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 don't share my feelings. I usually speak more with my actions. Like, you'll never hear me say that I don't like you, but you'll feel it by how I am around you :D But I mostly keep to myself--a bit of a mystery to people I think.
Cheerful [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: Well I'm not depressed, but I'm not an outgoing cheery personality. I'm serious and calm.
Leader [ ] [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] Supportive
Explain: If there is a good leader, I will respect their authority and follow. But usually if nobody is stepping up to the plate I take the reigns and lead because I'm pretty confident in my abilities.
Confident [] [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] Modest
Explain: I'm very confident of my opinions and where I stand but I'm kinda down to earth to and can be modest in my opinions.
Reserved [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: I'm not impulsive, I'm a really logical person who thinks everything through before taking action.
Energetic [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] Calm
Explain: I'm totally calm. Even if I'm mad I handle it calmly and more verbally than physically.
Feminine [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I was never one of those dramatic gossipy talky girly girls. I'm more laid back and guyish in my mentality but remain femanine in my clothing choices and such.
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'm apart of three landcomms and help moderate for one of my teams. I enjoy just playing along with my teams and letting others take the reign if there are capable and responsible mods. But I also love LOVE helping lead my team too (as a modly cheerleader). I'm a good, organized leader and can be a team player and work with different personalities to lead everyone to an EPIC WIN. So I love to lead, but have no problem following as well.
5) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time? Video games, graphic design, Photoshop, and an avid movie/tv buff. So I like to be creative and work with my hands and watch/review movies and television shows.
6) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you.
Creative careers only. Whether its with film, music, or art. I'm an artist and I have to create. I'd love to work on a film set, or be a ceramics artist, but I'm quite happy being a graphic designer.
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. FFIII on SuperNintendo (FFVI on Playstation) because its flawless with the best cast of Final Fantasy characters, plus some of the most iconic moments in FF history (Celes opera house). And because Kefka was the best FF villain EVER. FFVIII because Squall wasn't some happy-go-lucky hero, the love story wasn't annoying, and because I loved evil Edea. FFX for its battle system, its music, its sort of spiritual beauty in the story, and well Auron.
8) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why: I love Auron because he's just this stoic, badass warrior. He only spoke when he had something to say and you never quite knew where he stood or who he was because he was so internal. He was wise, and yet he respected the journey of Yuna and the others to simply be a follower instead of a leader. I'd say Basch for similar reasons. He was unwavering in his beliefs and loyalty and he was another silent warrior. And finally Fang for reasons below....
9) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why: Fang, because for her--everyone was expendable EXCEPT the people she cared about (mainly Vanille) and I can relate to that fierce loyalty to it almost being a fault--being a bit careless of others. She had her goals and she was determined to meet them. She's a bit insensitive, and yet extremely caring (of Vanille), she's stoic but will voice her opinion when people are being stupid. She's like a double edged sword and I can be that way too.
10) The FF game you liked playing least: FF9. All the main characters looked like they were twelve years old so I didn't quite understand why they were the most capable of helping save the world. Plus Kuja was kinda lame.
11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why: Well, I appreciate all the characters a FF game brings to the variety of the cast but I tend to only relate to a few characters each game. So I dislike all the glass half full hyper happy characters (Vanille, Selphie, Penelo, Snow, Zell) because I find them annoying and they usually get us in trouble for just sort of running into things without thinking. The lukewarm nice females (Yuna, Garnet) because I find them boring, and the spirited pre-puberty heroes (Tidus, Vaan, Zidane) because their outgoing positivity are so tropey clique hero. LOL, that doesn't leave many characters does it? Whoops :D
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): Hmm, I don't follow weapons that closely but I like weapons like Fang's red double pointed spear weapon. There's something more artful and beautiful about that weapon and Pole weapons. I like that they don't require just brute strength but some skill and grace.
13) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.): Shiva, because she's CLASSIC. Honestly, it's not a Final Fantasy game without the half naked ice princess. Seeing her character design evolve from game to game is magical.
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.): Edgar's Tools. Because I got to drill, crossbow, and chainsaw people. What is NOT cool about that? Though the flash was kinda lame.
15) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into: FF10 monster capturing thing.
16) Your favorite Cid: Cid Raines. Because he was really hot. I mean...he was dynamic, conflicted, and self-sacrificing.
17) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why. Monk. Because I'm not impulsive or that simple.
