Personality Questions:

1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.) I'm cheerful, cute, and honest.

2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses. I'm often too judgmental sometimes, impulsive, and sometimes rude.

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 won't go to parties everyday or even every week, but I'm comfortable with approaching people I don't know to talk, and also being open to discussions and conversations.

Cheerful [ X ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: As stated before, I'm usually cheerful. Even if I'm in a bad mood, it goes away easily.

Leader [ ] [ ] [ X ] [ ] [ ] Supportive
Explain: I'm alright with taking charge, and not afraid of the responsibility, and still lazy enough that I'd sometimes let other handle it xD

Confident [ ] [ ] [ X ] [ ] [ ] Modest
Explain: I do enjoy being praised, but not in the self-basking kind of way, more of the quiet pleasure... and I like to think I have a good feel on my skills and whether or not I can manage. So in other words, not overly confident but not overly modest either...

Reserved [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ X ] Impulsive
Explain: I can say things without thinking sometimes. Especially when I let my emotions get the better of me. In terms of actions, however, I think I have a better hold on my impulsiveness.

Energetic [ ] [ X ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Calm
Explain: I can get pretty hyper. Especially about Final Fantasy stuff, and other things I like.

Feminine [ ] [ ] [ ] [ X ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I don't enjoy shopping unless it's for videogames or books, I play videogames, I rarely wear skirts or dresses, I don't put makeup on, I don't care how I look when I go to school... lol. Yet I'm still girly enough to like cute and pretty stuff, pretty clothes (I don't go out and shop for them, but I still admire them)...

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 alright with teams, in my past experience, I usually work well in teams which have no leaders... I've never been a leader in school-related groups, but among friends, sometimes I'm the leader and I like it. I make decisions based on their input but often find that I cannot make decisions if I don't have any input.

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

I play a lot of Halo:Reach... I recently got FFVIII on my PSP and I've been replaying that. It's mostly a lot of videogaming and reading fanfiction. I can spend hours on fanfiction. Oh, and also Dungeons and Dragons.

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

Psychologist, because I've been told that I listen well. It's my current major. Any job that has to do with animals (except for working at a pet center). I love animals. Video game beta tester... or maybe video game design, though I don't think I have the artistic talent for that.


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.


FF8 was my first and still my favourite. I like everything from the FF7-verse because of the plot and the characters. Gameplay wise it's not a game I can beat over and over again (or WOULD want to beat over and over again). Dissidia, because it's kickass.

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

Zack (FF7) - I love Zack. I love his character and his story. I cried so much when he died in Crisis Core.
Selphie (FF8) - I like her bubbly character, and also she's my favourite character to use in battles.
Yuffie (FF7) - I initially found her to be extremely annoying, but I actually enjoy her interactions with the rest of the AVALANCHE members.

9) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why:
I relate to Selphie and Yuffie mostly (refer to above).

10) The FF game you liked playing least:
FF13.

11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:
I dislike Rinoa's character (FF8). I think she's spoilt, whiny and annoying, and cannot understand how in the space of Disc 2 and Disc 3 Squall fell in love with her.

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 look of Squall's Lionheart is really cool.

13) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.):
Carbuncle! It looks like a cute mutated hamster, I squee everytime I see it.

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.):
Selphie's Full-Cure. It's amazing. I love it.

15) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into:
FF9's Chocobo Hot and Cold.

16) Your favorite Cid:
Cid Highwind, FF7.

17) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why.
I would not make a Thief, because I'm not cunning enough, and my perception = zero.

I can see you in a number of different jobs, but I think I'm leaning the most towards Monk! The combination of your best/worst traits reminds me a lot of Monk characters such as Tifa, Zell, and Prishe. Monk characters like Tifa are pretty in-between when it comes to being introverted/extroverted; they're usually cheerful; are all right with taking charge but can let others take responsibility; in-between confident/modest; impulsive; more energetic (especially about stuff they like!); and they all tend to be okay with working on teams (and appreciate input from team members as well!). :)

Monk

[zerrat.livejournal.com]

Monk, for serious. I'm dead certain of it. Energetic, impulsive, cheerful, honest, blunt - very much traits associated with monks like Zell, Sabin, and Snow.

____________________________________________

[kupobun.livejournal.com]

I definitely agree with Monk~ Your energy and cheerfulness originally made me think Thief, but because you're also honest and rather blunt. imo this fits the more energetic monks (like Zell, for example) perfectly. Also, I think your view on teamwork is very Monk-like. Most are ok with taking charge but prefer an overall team effort and like giving/receiving input.

[virago-queen.livejournal.com]

Monk! I mean seriously, I got no other impulses that whole time. Straightforward, cheery, impulsive, tomboyish, capable of leading - you pretty much have every single Monk trait that you could.

(also - yay for Chocobo Hot and Cold! I <3 that minigame.)

[suspensionpoint.livejournal.com]

Yep, at first I thought maybe Thief, but you said no-- ahaha I kid, Monk is a better fit! They're more balanced, but still cheery, impulsive, and masculine... and loving Dissidia = total Monk thing to me. xD Sorry I don't have much to say, it's mostly been all explained by now. ;~;

Neutral

[chacusha]

Agreeing with the above and saying Monk. I can see lots of Thief as well but I think Monk works better because of the high amount of impulsiveness, being a mix of extroverted and introverted, and leaning toward the masculine side.

[sai_salamander]

Do you know, I was also well leaning towards Thief too! But no, Monk is definitely a better fit, especially with the emphasis on being impulsive. That just screams Monk to me, heh. Aaand I don't think there's much more I can add that's not already been said, so I'll leave it at that.

[glacialphoenix]

I considered White Mage briefly, but yes, your application screams Monk overall. You're energetic and impulsive; "cheerful, cute and honest" describes quite a few of them, and they can be on the judgemental side. Gah. I don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said more than half a dozen times over...

[haryan.livejournal.com]

I feel so unoriginal but I see a lot of Monk in your answers. You're cheerful, cute, honest, impulsive and sometimes rude, traits that really reminds me a lot of characters like Zell and Tifa. Monks are usually cheerful, lazy, impulsive, energetic and tomboysh so I really think that this class fits your "personality questions" section nicely.

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

I could see quite a bit of Thief and a little White Mage at times in your application, but overall I think I'm leaning more towards a Monk vote too. I could see you being very similar to characters such as Tifa, Zell, Prishe, and Ursula especially who fit into that job class. They tend to be cheerful, honest, and impulsive characters at times. And they tend to be more of a balance between a leader and supportive figure, confident and modest, as well as introverted and extroverted too. Quite a few monk characters (Snow and Zell come to mind quite readily here) are very cheerful, tend to lean more towards energetic, and can be quite impulsive too. I could see quite a few characters who fit into this group agreeing with your thoughts on group-work too in a way. :)

Selphie's Full-Cure is awesome! :D

[hilian.livejournal.com]

I have to agree with the above votes for Monk. I considered Thief for you, but in the end your traits remind me more of Monk. Monk characters are normally cheerful, honest, impulsive and sometimes rude. Many of your "rate yourself" section answers also remind me of them, because I think they're impulsive and can say things without thinking, more energetic than calm and the overall vibe of your application just screams Monk to me.

[far-to-nowhere.livejournal.com]

You're energetic, honest, cheerful, but not cunning and maybe a bit more clumsy (i.e. "perception=zero"). Then I'd go for Monk. Your application reminded me alot of a Snow or Zell. Their honesty and impulsiveness can sometimes get them in trouble. But I think you have good intentions and a good heart. So Monk, definitely.

Monk

[silvertigerx.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, are you my twin??? XD You're definitely a Monk because of like ... everything? Your traits remind me a lot of them, especially your negative ones. They're honest and impulsive, and sometimes their bluntness makes them look rude. They ... tend to strike as more cheerful on the whole, impulsive and energetic, and strike me as more tomboyish. I can see them liking teams without leaders, too. Also, I approve of your FF tastes haha XD.

Congratulations! You found a puzzle and the next clue!


PUZZLE: QUOTE TRIVIA
Can you identify what game these came from, and what character said them?

1) "Reluctance to forgive has long been a human failing. It is man's nature to sin, yet you answer sin with violence upon violence. Is that not itself a sin?"

2) "You tread the path of darkness. That crystal will shed no light for you. Your hands will only stain it darker still! Die!"

3) "All memory, existence, and dimensions... All that is shall be returned to nothing. Then I, too, can disappear... Forever!"

4) "All life fears death from birth. Life fears death, but lives only to die. It starts with anxiety. Anxiety becomes fear. Fear leads to anger... anger leads to hate... hate leads to suffering... The only cure for this fear is total destruction."

5) "Only death awaits you all, but do not fear. For it is through death that a new spirit energy is born. Soon, you will live again as a part of me."

6) "Reflect on your childhood... your sensation... your words... your emotions... Time, it will not wait... No matter how hard you hold on... it escapes you. And..."

7) "Life... Dreams... Hope... Where do they come from? And where do they go...? Such meaningless things.... I'll destroy them all!"

8) "Salvation is born of sacrifice--- miracles, of misery. From shattered shards, a new crystal legend will arise. Yes! Let anger be your strength! Despair. Depair and save us all. Lo! The day of Wrath has come!"
