Personality Questions:

1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.) I'm loyal to a fault with my friends. I work hard at my daily tasks and do what I can to be successful with them. I catch on to things very quickly.

2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses. I get distracted easily by silly things, like the Internet. (Or my pet bunnies, but are bunnies ever really not worth your time?) I over analyze things and make them harder to do; for example, I make very complicated to-do lists. I have a low tolerance for Internet stupidity and wank.

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'm very extroverted around people I know, but not very much around people I don't know. It averages out.

Cheerful [ ] [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: I'm a pretty happy person, but I'm not Vanille.

Leader [ ] [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] Supportive
Explain: I try not to, but I wind up being in charge of things pretty often. It's the best way to make sure they get done.

Confident [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Modest
Explain: I had to force myself to say three good qualities about me and force myself to not go on and on about my weaknesses. Nuff said.

Reserved [ ] [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: I don't make major decisions quickly. It's better to wait and see if it's what I really want. Now, if I've been planning it for a while, I go right on ahead with it.

Energetic [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Calm
Explain: I only marked toward the calm side because I fall asleep so easily, and someone who's very energetic doesn't fall asleep like I do. I'm probably only thinking about that because I'm sleepy right now. Thanks, 12:18 AM! When I'm doing my job, I'm pretty high energy, but I feel bad for the person who's not high energy in a room full of kids.

Feminine [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I am JUST BARELY feminine. Like, I like flowers and good smelling soap and purple. I also like video games and making computers do things and my string bass, so.

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. Usually, I like going it alone, but it's not always practical. Like I said, I usually wind up taking the lead in a team somehow just so I know that the work gets done. I mod a comm, and I'm learning to delegate tasks, though, just so I don't wind up running every damn swap and event. That'll sap a soul, and no one wants to hear from me that much anyway.

5) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time? I raise bunnies, play video games (duh), sew, take pictures, and collect dolls. It all sounds way girlier than it is. The sewing, dolls, and photography all tie in to one another ... but I sew things like Firefly costumes for my dolls, not pink fluffy frilly dresses.

6) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you. My career is ideal! I get to play with kids all day, and I get paid for it. I work at multiple schools, so I'm like a wandering rogue fiddler or pied piper, if you will.

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. FF9 is my favorite! Zidane is my favorite FF character ever. The plot was light and didn't take itself too seriously, but there was still enough meat to it to make it a great story. The rest of the cast was fun too -- I particularly like Steiner and Beatrix. Totes my OTP for the longest time.

8) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why: Zidane is a perfect hero, strong and, err, heroic without being too EMOSRS. He's hilarious, too! I like Yuffie for a lot of the same reasons, but I don't like her as much because she's more one dimensional. Recently, I've really liked Lightening because she's a character that manages to balance badass with normal.

9) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why: Ummmmm. I don't know how much I relate to any of them, I don't know that a lot of them are like me. I've had people tell me I look like Rinoa, but I don't like her very much. I might go on and say Celes because she was a good leader who happened to be a musician too. :-P

10) The FF game you liked playing least: FINAL FANTASY 8. It's my most hated FF game. The battle system is stupid, the plot is even stupider. The characters are stupid. I can't believe I even beat it.

11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why: Can I say the cast of Final Fantasy 8? All of them? Fine, I'll pick Zell because he's annoying, that cowboy guy because WHY IS THERE A COWBOY, and Quistis because she added nothing to the plot.

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): I really don't pay much attention to the weapons. I'm going to say Tidus' sword because it was watery and that made it look cool.

13) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.): Carbuncle always makes me laugh because he's so little and green.

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.): I liked Riku's zombie abilities in FF10. It made the game a breeze.

15) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into: Chocobo racing in FF7. I wanted to see all the colors of chocobo. That track has ALL THE COLORS EVER on it.

16) Your favorite Cid: FF7's. DRINK YOUR GOD DAMN TEA!

17) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why. I don't think I've got the crazy mad skills to be a monk.

I think you're a White Mage. I'm a little torn because there was some energy/fire to this app (e.g. the ranting about FF8) that might suggest more Thief? But I think overall your answers for the personality questions fit Yuna pretty well.

ETA: But if we had a Bard stamp, I'd totally give you that, haha.

I did think of Black Mage while reading some parts of your application, but overall I'm quite certain that I have to agree on White Mage! You seem to be a very calm and balanced person which really strikes me as a White Mage, but you also like to play with kids and don't see how people can not be energetic around them, flowers too, and your hobbies made me think of a White Mage!

Are you me? haha It was fun to read your application though. I like how everyone who posted mentioned Quistis as their least favorite one. Anyways, but to the topic... it was tough, and I mean it. At first I thought of Dragoon, then I thought of White Mage and Thief... call me a weirdo but in the end I am actually seeing Soldier? Okay, excuse me while I sound random but I can easily imagine you being a soldier like for example Tidus -- not as serious and snsbsns as most of them. You're hard working, calm, reserved and a leader. While Soldiers appear confident, they're not always bold. You prefer to work alone but you know it's not always the most practical thing to do which means you use your head instead of rushing into things and think you can do it all alone, if that makes any sense. You picked a sword out of all the weapons and I can imagine most of the Soldiers dislike Zell, lol. Sorry if I sound random but it's pretty late and it was really hard to pick.

I think White Mage is probably ideal. Maybe a white mage like Porom or Rosa... someone who's balanced, more on the modest side, calm, but also has some fire and leadership qualities to them. I have to agree that a lot of your hobbies and interest sound like things I could imagine a White Mage being interested in.

I mainly thought of White Mage with a little Thief thrown in. You seem generally cheerful and friendly and you say when you're not sleepy you're energetic which made me think of a Thief, but the first two can apply for a White Mage too and you seem to get along very well with kids; your hobbies, being rather feminine, being loyal and being rather modest made me think of a White Mage in the end.(^-^)

Irrelevant, but I completely agree with your least favorite game and character responses, haha. My own answers to those are going to be very similar, I'm sure.

Anyway, this was rather difficult. My first inclination was White Mage, but I'm also very tempted to say either Thief or Black Mage. Overall, I think I'll go with White Mage however. In addition to what has already been said, some of them are more determined and likely to lead, as Minwu is even the main character in the extra dungeon at the end of FFII, Yuna is in FFX-2 (despite no longer being a default white mage, but I'll overlook that), and eventually Porom in the IV sequel. As it was said above, I can especially see you as the Rosa or Porom type-- loyal, balanced, self-aware, and with a great deal more passion than many later white mages.

Definitely see White Mage the most. It's probably been explained to death by now, but your positive traits pretty much made me think of them, as did your modesty, calmness, and more cheerful nature. Your career choice definitely makes me think of them -- I associate them with being supportive, son. They tend to be a little more reserved, and are usually introverted or somewhere in the middle.

This was kind of tough! I can definitely see some Thief in your application...and if Bard was an option, I'd really be tempted to vote for that. Still, I can also see White Mage as being a good fit. You're loyal and work hard and can get distracted easily...which reminds me a lot of White Mage characters like Porom. Many FF White Mages tend to be a balance between Introverted and Extroverted and they can be pretty cheerful overall (although most don't take it to Vanille extremes). White Mages like Minwu are often capable of being leaders even if they don't necessarily want to be one and most are slightly more modest than the other job classes tend to be. They can be pretty reserved when it comes to making decisions and tend to fall into a slightly more calm demeanor (but, like Porom, can have energetic tendencies too!). I can't really add more to the explanations you've already been given, but you reading your application reminded me a lot of the more balanced White Mage characters. :)

Hate to sound like a broken record, but I have to say White Mage who should have been a bard. XD You sound like a really light-hearted person and I think your way of looking at your job is also very white-mage in it's own way. All in all you seem really balanced so you'd probably do well in several of the classes to be honest. (Then again Bards do ten to be an off-heal, off-magic, jack of all trade type. So that stands to reason.)

I feel ridiculously redundant by now, but you are definitely a White Mage! You're friendly but calm and your application has this kind of cheerful and sweet vibe that made me think of White Mages.

Well, I feel a bit redundant but, when reading your application I thought of a White Mage, and nothing else seems to fit quite as well, except maybe a red mage, but that's irrelevant. Anyhow, your personality, interests, and the overall tone of the application brought to mind a few of the characters from the white mage class. While you are definitely more energetic than some of them, there are a few who match your levels. Also, modesty is something seen in a lot of white mages, since usually they tend to be a bit more humble. :]

Your cheerfulness, reservedness, modesty and femininity seem characteristic of a White Mage, and your leadership skills specifically bring to mind FFX's Yuna.

Congrats, You are a White Mage!
