【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: I'm a mix of Spontaneous Idealist and INFP.
Spontaneous Idealists are creative, lively and open-minded persons. They are humorous and dispose of a contagious zest for life. Their enthusiasm and sparkling energy inspires others and sweeps them along. They enjoy being together with other people and often have an uncanny intuition for their motivations and potential. Spontaneous Idealists are masters of communication and very amusing and gifted entertainers. Fun and variety are guaranteed when they are around. However, they are sometimes somewhat too impulsive in dealing with others and can hurt people without really meaning to do so, due to their direct and sometimes critical nature.
INFPs are introspective, private, creative and highly idealistic individuals that have a constant desire to be on a meaningful path. They are driven by their values and seek peace. Empathetic and compassionate, they want to help others and humanity as a whole. INFPs are imaginative, artistic and often have a talent for language and writing. They can also be described as easygoing, selfless, guarded, adaptable, patient and loyal.
I also took this test and I got the Neutral Good alignment which I think fits pretty well... And I also got Regal Soul on a Daemon test, which makes some sense but it's not totally accurate at some points. I'll copy and paste what I think is accurate: You love to be around people. Without them, you would wilt and fade away. Too much time alone leave you feeling listless and sad, but a good night out with your buddies puts the spring back into your step. You make friends easily, because you know how to adjust your behavior for each person. With a rowdy, loud, social type of person you can be rowdy, and loud, and social. With a timid and mousy person you can be quiet and sensitive. While you have many friends and many faces, you have an inner circle of friends and family with whom you can truly be yourself.
But I'm also a member of the Star Arcana and I've always felt that it was an excellent fit for me: here is a description in case you're interested. Maybe that helps some? :)

Positive traits: I'm very aware of people's feelings and such. I'm fiercely loyal to those I love. I'm not a nosy person and I don't push something when it's obvious someone doesn't want to talk, part of that being because I read people pretty well. I'm always trying to look on the bright side of situations, even when others find them to be completely hopeless. I'm pretty funny at certain times, too. It's only once in a while that I act funny, but when I do it's hilarious! (Hahaha, at least I'd like to think I'm pretty funny...)
Negative traits: I do not like to work. At all. Sometimes I can get fairly bossy, and it annoys a bunch of my family members all the time. I can get annoyed pretty easily. Just a little slip can set me off, even if it's meant to be just a joke. I can also be blunt. Like really blunt. But I try to not hurt people when the subject's sensitive... But my biggest problem is how I always have to have approval from other people. Just a little criticism, even constructive criticism, can ruin my entire day... But I'm putting effort into changing that trait :)
Please list some of your dislikes: I hate having the door to my room open when I'm in it. And you know the numbers that you see whenever you turn up the volume? I can't stand it when that number's odd. ~~I swear this question always makes me sound OCD...~~ And I dislike humorless people and backstabbers too.
What is the first impression that you give others?: Well... Usually I get "nice." I don't really give off too strong of an impression until much later :)
How are you described by those who know you?: Someone once said I'm "under appreciated" by my friends and that I somewhat have a guilty conscious. In other words I always think I did something wrong. The same person has also said that I'm a fiery personality and that I worry too much about what people think.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Optimistic. Yes. I've annoyed people with my optimism XD; But even then I have my pessimistic moments.. Really though. Who doesn't?
Cautious or Impulsive: I'm much more impulsive really. It's uh... It's gotten me into a lot of trouble before XD; I don't really think before saying something... I just say it D; But in more sensitive situations I do tend to watch my mouth a bit.
Calm or Hyper: I'm more... Energetic. I wouldn't say that I'm exactly hyper, ya know? Overall though it really just depends on how I feel. I know that there are certain instances where you need to be more calm anyway :)
Trusting or Cynical: Trusting. Unless you've wronged me in some way I don't see any reason to be cynical towards you *shrug*
Leader or Follower: I'm the type that could both lead and follow. I really don't mind it when someone else is in charge but if there's no one who's willing to step up I'm more than willing to take the lead :)
Introverted or Extroverted: A mix of both, honestly... It's one of those things where it really just depends on my mood, ya know?
Independent or Dependent: Dependent, but I really wish I wasn't. I should also mention that I'm especially dependent on one certain person...
Persistent or Laid-Back: I'm much more laid-back! And it's yet another thing that gets me into plenty of trouble D;
Confident or Modest: It... Depends. I'm actually somewhat proud of my looks (that sounds bad, I know) but there are plenty of my traits that I'm not proud of.

【 Add something here 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My need for everyone's approval... It's a trait that I've had forever and it's a trait I've hated forever. But like I said... I've been trying to work on changing that :)
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? I seek to never start it to begin with! XD I really don't like conflict so if I can stop it, I'll do it as soon as possible.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? Well I'm sure to tell them to get the hell out of line in some way. If I'm already in a bad mood then I'll probably be more aggressive to him, but on a good day I'll do the exasperated "clear my throat and tap my foot" thing.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? I think it'd be just for the sake of helping others. I'd be saving it for others, but probably more to save people who were particularly important to me :)
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? I think I'd be like a mix of supportive and defensive since I'm not exactly the strongest physically XD
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Nope. I'm for sure out of there... Unless I'm mad. Then maybe I'll fight it :p

Are there any characters you would prefer not to be voted as? No one that I can think of... I'm up for anything! :)

Name: Breyzy

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: ~~Gah, I hate having to describe it! O_O;~~ Let's see: I'm very determined and stubborn. Once I set my mind to a goal, I don't stop until I finish it. I like helping people out for the most part, but I don't like feeling like I'm being taken advantage of. I'm also very independent, which I think can be both a good and a bad thing since it means I don't rely on others, even if I might need to. I'm told I'm funny, but my humor falls more in the "sarcastic" category so I'm sure there are others who disagree. I can get jealous easily and I don't trust people very readily. Even the people I'm closest to I don't trust fully. It takes a lot to get me mad, but once I've reached a "boiling point" I tend to get REALLY angry and I find it really hard to forgive someone who has made me mad. I also have this tendency to keep my inner thoughts and feelings inside without voicing them.

I took this test recently and got Chaotic Good as my Alignment, which I've gotten before on other tests and it seems fairly accurate! Horoscope-wise, I'm a Libra but I'm not entirely sure how relevant that is to my personality (parts of it *really* don't fit, but I thought I'd mention it in case for some reason you do find it helpful for voting O_O;). Also, I'm apparently a Faithful Designer and The Dreamy Idealist. The Faithful Designer description is pretty accurate and, while the title of The Dreamy Idealist doesn't necessarily fit much for me, I do think elements of the general description as a whole kind of does. ♥

When I took the Enneagram Test, I got Type 8: The Challenger...which, for the most part, is a pretty good fit for me! Just some info from that link: Type 8 is known as the Powerful, Dominating Type: Self-Confident, Decisive, Willful, and Confrontational. Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their Best: self- mastering, they use their strength to improve others' lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring. Their Basic Fear is of being harmed or controlled by others and their Basic Desire is to protect themselves (to be in control of their own life and destiny). The Challengers want to be self-reliant, to prove their strength and resist weakness, to be important in their world, to dominate the environment, and to stay in control of their situation. ...Uh, pretty much most of what that link says is pretty accurate though. XD

...And, I just recently took this test, which was also pretty accurate to a degree if you need more of those types of things, lolz:
You are a family oriented person, and you are a good friend. You are selective about who you call "friend", however - not every acquaintance makes the cut. You like to spend regular time with the people whom you are close to, but you need time to yourself, too. If you are left too long without seeing your friends and family, you wilt, and if you see too MUCH of them, you become tired and irritable.

You are a sensitive and caring person, and you are very considerate of your friends' feelings. You are easily hurt, however, and people often hurt you accidentally with off-hand comments. You dislike confrontation, and your friends often do not realize that they have accidentally hurt you. You keep your emotions bottled up, rarely showing anger, or sadness. You don't want people to know how very sensitive you are, so you hide it under a tough, calm exterior.

Positive traits: Determined/Hard-Working, curious, independent, helpful/loyal (to those I can respect and/or care for, at any rate), humorous ~~...well, depends on who you talk to~~. O_O;
Negative traits: Untrusting, jealous, unforgiving, indecisive, independent (I consider this both a positive and negative trait of mine. It's positive in that I can handle things on my own and I look out for myself...it's negative because I feel like relying on others is a weakness, even in cases when it's obvious I need to {like when I'm stressed out for taking too much on myself}. I won't ask for help even when I need it because I rely too much on myself and not enough on others. I'm working on that too though).
Please list some of your dislikes: Mean/rude people, when people get into my personal space (I HAVE A PERSONAL SPACE BUBBLE, I DO!), and when people always make assumptions about things without actually knowing anything about them.
What is the first impression that you give others?: I've been told that I'm kind of intimidating from a first impression perspective as I'm not the warmest person when I'm first meeting someone...one of my friends actually once told me that I'm an example of why it isn't good to judge someone based off of a first impression ~~and I'm still not sure if that was a compliment or not, hehe~~. O_O; Once I get more comfortable with someone that impression goes away pretty fast though.
How are you described by those who know you?: Let's see..."persistent, humorous, dependable, friendly, hard-working, intelligent, loyal." ~~...LIARS.~~ I tend to be told that I'm funny and generally nice once people get to know me more.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Realistic, I would say. I don't think the world is made of puppies and rainbows, but I don't think it is out to get you either. Everything is just...what it is to me.
Cautious or Impulsive: It depends on what I might want. I am way more likely to be impulsive and jump into something without thinking *if* I'm already excited about it, but if it isn't something that I'm all that interested in I take a few more moments and try to approach it cautiously.
Calm or Hyper: Haha, I'm about to not be very helpful, but it honestly depends on the situation! If I'm at work or doing something that really requires my focus, then I'm extremely calm...but, if it is something I'm excited about, I can get pretty hyper (also, it depends on my caffeine intake! O_O;).
Trusting or Cynical: Very cynical. I'm really bad at trusting others, unfortunately. :/
Leader or Follower: I prefer to follow, honestly...but, I usually get stuck with leadership positions. Still, I'd rather lead than follow if no one else is going to! I have to really respect someone if they're going to try and lead me, lolz. If I think an individual besides myself can handle the leadership job well, I'm all for offering my support instead.
Introverted or Extroverted: I'm shy for about ten minutes when I'm first meeting someone, but I can't stay that way for long! I find silence really uncomfortable and unnerving, so I will always try to start conversations to fill the void, hehe. :D I'm sort of more reserved when it comes to "deep" things, like inner-thoughts/feelings. I tend to keep those to myself unless I feel really comfortable with the person I'm talking to. So...extroverted about superficial stuff? XD
Independent or Dependent: Independent for the most part. I don't like having to rely on others.
Persistent or Laid-Back: In general, I'm persistent! If I want something, I don't really stop until I accomplish that goal. ...However, if it is something I'm maybe not 100%-invested in, I can be pretty laid-back regarding it. I'll still work for it, but I probably won't put as much effort into it overall.
Confident or Modest: Outwardly confident, inwardly horribly insecure/doubtful. Despite how I may appear really driven and confident on the outside, most of the time on the inside I am full of doubts and fear. Like I've mentioned before, I just don't like vocalizing that kind of stuff unless I'm around someone I can really trust.

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My inability to ask others for help. I feel like relying on others is a weakness, even in cases when it's obvious I need to (like when I'm stressed out for taking too much on myself). I'm really *trying* to work on that though!
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? Depends on the conflict and my thoughts on it (or even my emotional investment in it). I actually like a fun challenge, so if I think of something as just a good-natured debate I'll actually find it kind of entertaining: I like seeing other people's POVs even if I don't agree with them, so as long as they're respectful of my opinions I'm willing to hear them out too. I like debating about stuff and I'll talk your ears off if you let me! But conflict that's just started intentionally to belittle others actually really annoys me and I'll try to end it as quickly as possible! You can always tell when I'm *really* mad in a conflict because I just won't talk...AT ALL, lolz. That's actually really abnormal for me in conflicts, so it is kind of my sign that I just want it to end.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? Haha, I've actually done that whole "Oh, no...you didn't!" thing in situations like this before (gah, that's embarrassing to admit! O_O;). I definitely say something or let it be known by my body language that I'm annoyed, but if they don't move I'm not going to start a big fight over it. Yeah, stuff like that is annoying, but I'll survive having to wait another couple minutes. XD
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? Hnn...maybe a little bit all of the above? I'm a part of the world, so if I help out I'm kind of helping myself in a roundabout way anyways. If there was something I could actually do, I'd do it because...well, I wouldn't be able to think of a valid reason not to, if that makes sense!
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Offensive, probably! I could see myself coming up with some awesome defensive or supportive strategy and then just abandon it about 10 seconds into a fight because my "ZOMG, I'M IN A FIGHT!" instincts take over. I'm just not patient enough sometimes, lolz. XD
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Uh, no...not unless I'd have a good reason to (like if they were blocking my only way out of a tunnel or something).

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: Describing myself always makes me feel uncomfortable but...
Well, as far as personality types go I am an INTJ, a mix of The Analytical & The Independent Thinker, Type 1, and a Scorpio. While my sign fits me very well, I also find Capricorn rather fitting. My alignment would be True Neutral. I also got Quiet Loner Soul in Daemon Test but I can't exactly agree as I find it a little too passive for me. However I think Distant Loner Soul is almost spot on, though I'm not as insensitive or arrogant as the descriptions makes it to be.

As the types above imply, I am someone very distant, secretive, serious and introverted. I am a loner who is rather quiet. Quiet in a way that I don't like to speak unless I feel it's needed as I don't like useless talk. I also have strong opinions that I am not afraid to voice but I won't force them on you either. I am rather anti-social and I keep to myself most of the time but i'm not withdraw. I am quite cynical and untrusting, I tend to doubt people's intentions probably a bit more than needed. I also have a cold outlook on a lot of things which makes people describe me as such but despite that, I still have a strong sense of justice. As for myself, I think my views are simply very rational and I am not someone too emotional, I am someone who follows her brains instead of heart.

I'm also pretty critical, logical, practical. I am someone who is quite collected and calm most of the time but a few of my friends noticed my 'berserk button', which isn't probably as "berserk" as it was a few years ago when the joke came up but I still have a temper. It's easy to annoy me and it's hard to make me very angry (unless you really annoy me by default) but once you do... Even though, i am not reckless nor impulsive. I am very cautious about most of the things. I am bad with words when it comes to certain matters, especially feelings, so i often tend to say harsh things and unfortunately it's not on impulse. That is probably what makes me good in arguments, to the point when some could call me manipulative but I only act in such manner when I feel someone deserves it. (Which probably makes me sound like an ass).

I am rather apathetic towards most things but if I feel strongly about something, I become rather passionate. I don't get too attached to people most of the time but if i really start caring about someone, they become very important to me and I'd always put them before myself, even if I act the opposite. In fact, I am very bad at showing positive emotions and I had someone tell me it's hard to say what I am thinking and whether my intentions are good or not. I am generally very secretive and hate sharing anything personal.

Positive traits: Independent, strong-willed, understanding, logical, thoughtful, cunning, rather determined (but not over anything and everything), patient, rational, realistic, collected, mature, curious, observant, snarky, loyal only to those that have earned my trust.
Negative traits: Analytical, introverted, mischievous, perfectionist, private, sarcastic, smartass when annoyed, cautious, proud, very irritable, critical, stubborn, sometimes moody, short-tempered, anti-social, calm with a berserk button. Recently I have been told I sometimes can get too strict when people are not disciplined.
Please list some of your dislikes: Most of all I dislike overly selfish, stupid, idiotic, fake, ignorant, shallow, annoying, clingy, way too talkative people. Well, pretty much all the nonsense people can come up with. I do consider myself rather, or at least somewhat understanding but things like that drive me mad. I also tend get very easily irritated when someone is far too impulsive and doesn't think before doing pretty much everything. I also dislike insects quite a lot, disgusting food, unfairness, when you push me into doing something I don't want to do, talk down on me, attack me for no reason etc. I surely dislike a lot of things otl.
What is the first impression that you give others?: A lot of people think I act way too indifferent/apathetic, to the point where I might simply ignore them and don't feel bad about it. Intimidating.
How are you described by those who know you?: Hmm... sarcastic, too distant, too serious, intelligent, sharp, harsh (I just don't sugar-coat), "always in a bad mood", too proud, intense in a subtle, non in-your-face, way. Some people who know me a bit better also say that I am the type to get things done.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: A pessimistic realist.
Cautious or Impulsive: Cautious.
Calm or Hyper: Calm.
Trusting or Cynical: So very cynical.
Leader or Follower: I have more of a leader-type personality but more of a "leading from the background" type. I hate spot-light too much to be the leader but at the same time I'm a terrible follower because I'm the one who would think for themselves and pretty stubborn to add to that.
Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted.
Independent or Dependent: Independent.
Persistent or Laid-Back: Persistent most of the time.
Confident or Modest: Both in a way. I am a confident person but I don't have confidence in everything.

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? One thing about me is that despite how much I might dislike some things about myself, I accept them, more or less anyways. If I had to pick something, I think that if i had at least a bit more self-apprecation/less self-loathing, it would make me a stronger person. I'd also like to be able to get over some things that happened in the past much faster. I hold onto things I shouldn't for way too long for it to be healthy for me.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? Neither. I don't enjoy it, nor I care about ending it. I just tend to think if something happened, maybe you just need some time. I'm pretty bad at ending conflicts though, despite rarely getting angry enough at someone to dismiss them.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? I'd probably say something like "Excuse me, are you blind by any chance", hoping that isn't the case. If they were very arrogant, I'd probably add something to push their buttons but otherwise, I would try not to get worked up over it. Apparently they aren't intelligent enough to know what a queue is, what can you do.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? Probably for someone close to me or my views. While I'm not the type to really want to "save" the world, I can see myself getting involved in something like that if things I really loathe kept happening in this world more and more often. I'm not an idealist but I can't imagine being okay with this if the feeling was strong enough and I had an opportunity.
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Mostly offensive because while I can imagine myself taking up a more tactical supportive role, I'd probably hate being responsible for someone else's life.
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? No, unless it really annoyed me and I felt like giving it a lesson.

Name: Vanja

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality:
My personality can seem contradictory or random to others, as I can act quite differently depending on the situation and who I'm around. I'm cynical, but still have some idealism in the sense that I'm passionate about the causes I care about and still get disappointed when people seem to be going backwards. I enjoy helping friends, but I can't stand most people. I'm nihilistic objectively, but I do care about things on a more personal level. I've been called easy-going + intense, reckless + planned, among other things. Sometimes one part of these will appear more prominent than the other part, but then it'll eventually swing back.

I can be too outspoken, argumentative, and blunt. While I can plan things out ~~usually... well, if they're important actions, at least~~, I need better control over my mouth. I have a tendency to open it no matter who it is-- I've gotten into arguments with teachers, managers, etc... I do have a filter over it to an extent, but this has created problems in the past.

You could call me "self-made," for lack of a better term. Much of what I know, I had to learn on my own. I've had to dig myself out of an area that seemed to have a "Abandon hope, all ye born here... unless you're one of the few sons/daughters of factory owners!" motto, and it has severely impacted my overall mentality and perspectives.

If you want my MBTI, I almost always get INTJ. (percentages) I'm not the quietest introvert and do make choices based on emotions at times, but the general description when all are applied as a whole fits quite well. The main aspect I'd say doesn't fit is the bit about not being able to support others, although I do tend to offer solutions rather than just hug them. All of the other negatives? Spot on, sadly... (Always wanting to improve things, assuming I'm right... Note to self: Don't be such an ass.)

There's also this popular quiz used on these, which does fit very well, particularly the part I highlighted. If you need any more of these ~~because I clearly don't ramble enough~~, I tend to get 5 - "The Investigator" (with 3 or 8 close behind) for Enneagrams, Chaotic Neutral (it's always pretty far in the Chaotic spectrum while the morality is often mixed, which fits CN well anyway, heh, especially since I do just tend to whatever I feel will be best or most amusing for a situation and don't believe in good or evil), and am a Scorpio who does tend to get either it (for being secretive, passionate inside, resentful, with a tendency to see through lies) or Aquarius (freedom-loving / questions authority, can be seen as detached, unpredictable, and hates loneliness) when it comes to personality.

Positive traits:
Analytical, independent, calm-minded (read: despite anything else, I at least think rationally), clever, open-minded, curious, "humorous"... but that can also be a negative *points below*
Negative traits:
Hopelessly self-critical, secretive (in the sense that I don't like to talk aboutind) for Enneagrams, Chaotic Neutral (it's always pretty far in the Chaotic spectrum while the morality is often mixed, which fits CN well anyway, heh, especially since I do just tend to whatever I feel will be best or most amusing for a situation and don't believe in good or evil), and am a Scorpio who does tend to get either it (for being secretive, passionate inside, resentful, with a tendency to see through lies) or Aquarius (freedom-loving / questions authority, can be seen as detached, unpredictable, and hates loneliness) when it comes to personality.

Please list some of your dislikes:
More than anything? Bigots, gender generalizations, people who complain but don't do anything to change whatever they're whining about, and the feeling of failure. Other dislikes include people who keep me up until 4 in the morning when I have to get up at 7, anything with the words "Hallmark" or "Lifetime" attached to it, and privileged people who think they're the most amazing people in the universe when they've never had to do anything for themselves in their lives.
What is the first impression that you give others?:
It really depends. Some assume I'm nice and helpful while others assume I'm a terrible demon. ~~I like to think that neither are really true~~ As much as I hate to admit it, I sometimes come off as intimidating and "intense," but then again, other people who I've only talked to for a brief bit have called me down-to-earth and laid-back, so it definitely varies.
How are you described by those who know you?:
Most people, after they know me, say something along the lines of "intelligent, snarky, and abrasive."

+ When I did Johari/Nohari windows recently the most commonly picked traits were independent, self-assertive, witty, logical, intelligent, trustworthy, cynical, chaotic, callous, blasé, overdramatic, and hostile.

*Though I was told people wanted adjectives which weren't there, like that blasé meant that I get bored easily and overdramatic because of the self-criticalness causing me to think the world is ending if I mess something up... but there are better words that weren't options for all that.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: I have ideals, but I know what's realistic.
Cautious or Impulsive: I plan things out if they're important and I tend to think things through in general, but I can still act impulsive if I just don't care regardless. Often in day-to-day actions, I'll consider all the possibilities, but still do something reckless when it comes to the short term.
Calm or Hyper: Depends on the amount of coffee I've had? I normally act more energetic than I feel, though.
Trusting or Cynical: Cynical.
Leader or Follower: True to my MBTI stereotype, a background leader. I'm too opinionated and outspoken to be a complete follower, but I prefer to advise rather than outright lead. I will take up a leader position if no one else is willing to and/or the only people who want to are incompetent, though.
Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted.
Independent or Dependent: Independent.
Persistent or Laid-Back: Persistent, provided I care enough about something. Otherwise, laid-back. I don't really consider these opposites anyway, so~
Confident or Modest: Confident when I know I'm good at something, modest about everything else.

【 Add something here 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
There's actually... quite a bit. Despite being calm on the surface (again, normally), I wish I actually were also calm underneath that.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can?
I enjoy certain types of conflict, but loathe others. I'm competitive and love a good debate, for instance, but I hate senseless drama or petty fights.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react?
Probably say something like "hey, I guess you didn't notice, but the end of the line is back there." If they persist on staying there for whatever reason, I wouldn't force the issue, but I can't imagine not saying something.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself?
Honestly? Probably a mixture. I would be doing it partially for the world, as I want to see that place changed, but that also implies I'm doing it for myself, as there's always plenty of people who want to see the world go in different directions and I'm selfishly pushing it towards the one I want in that situation.

'Sides, I'm sure the benefits from it - at least in the saving one - would be great and all-too-tempting...
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role?
I like both offensive and supportive. I rarely ever care about defense.
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway?
Maybe. I like a challenge, but I'm not really the type to start a physical fight for it. I think it would depend on how much the enemy annoys me.

Name: Yin

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: I try to see the good in everyone and live by the policy of "forgive and forget," I hardly ever get jealous of other people, I’m understanding, and I try to avoid conflict if at all possible. I’m incredibly shy and withdrawn around other people, and I don’t really have a lot of confidence in my own abilities. I tend to worry about things that I have no control over, and I can be a bit immature and childish at times. I’d probably much rather run away from problems than simply deal with them head-on, and I can be really naïve (my family and friends will often tell me that I don’t act with common sense). But at the same time, I can ALSO be insanely stubborn and determined when I feel very strongly about something so it really just depends on the situation at hand. I can ramble on and on when it comes to topics that catch my interest too. I tend to probably be way more polite than is necessary in most social situations as well, for some reason.

I recently took this test...and I pretty much was tied with Lawful Good and Neutral Good (seriously...I took the test four times just to be sure, and literally had only about a point of difference between both options in my individual results depending on how I answered one or two questions XD). I could see both options fitting for me within reason at times and I've actually gotten both results before on similar online tests in the past as well, so I shall mention them here in case they could be helpful for stamping purposes! :D Thank you very much to cassandrablue for the test link! ♥ Also, according to other personality tests online...I fit into The Generous Thinker and The Dreamy Idealist types. The Generous Thinker personality type result is fairly accurate from how it is described, as is the general description for The Dreamy Idealist! :)

I took the Enneagram Personality Test, and I got Type 6: The Loyalist...which seems fairly accurate for the most part. In brief, the Type 6 is described as The Committed, Security-Oriented Type: Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent "troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious—running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others. They have a basic fear of being without support and guidance, and their basic desire is to have security and support. The key motivations for a Type 6 are that they want to have security, to feel supported by others, to have certitude and reassurance, to test the attitudes of others toward them, to fight against anxiety and insecurity. ...And the link itself does an even more detailed/lengthier description of that personality type if you need it! I think it fits rather well, all things considered.

...And I followed someone's example and also took this test. It was fairly accurate, I thought! So feel free to read this one too if you still need more personality reference:
You are shy and a little reclusive. Big crowds and new social situations make you feel uncomfortable and nervous. You prefer to stick with your close friends and family. You have a large personal space and you hate to feel crowded or overwhelmed. If you have been dragged out to a party, or have had a stressful day at work, you need to retreat to your own private place for a while afterwards to recharge.

You are very sensitive, and easily hurt. You tend to worry about what other people are thinking about you. Often, the offhand comments that people make hurt your feelings. You tend to hide your feelings from people whom you are not comfortable with, like strangers, acquaintances or coworkers. You may brush things off with a joke or hide your pain behind a toss of the head. You try not to overreact to things, and you avoid conflict, especially with strangers. However, if you are pushed too far, you can defend yourself with a vengeance.

With your loved ones you are quite different. You trust them with your feelings and with them you tend to be more open and sincere. You are loyal and clannish, and while you hide yourself from strangers and acquaintances, you come out of hiding when your close friends and family are around. Or at least, you do for a while, before you need to retreat back into your private place to re-charge.

Positive traits: Caring, observant, creative, playful, polite, and understanding.
Negative traits: Shy, anxious, daydreamer (from the stance that I sometimes have to be reminded to keep myself grounded when I let my mind wander), naïve, lazy, and indecisive.
Please list some of your dislikes: Character/couple bashing (even if I disagree with someone's point of view, I like remaining open minded and respectful of their opinions), unnecessary fights, and people who are intentionally cruel to others.
What is the first impression that you give others?: ...I think that, when people first meet me, they probably view me as someone who needs to be protected somehow. As I stated before, I come across as someone very quiet and nervous when interacting with people I'm not overly-familiar with...and I've even been called "meek" and "timid" on more than one occasion.
How are you described by those who know you?: Once I become more comfortable around someone, I can open up a bit more (people are often surprised the first time I speak up or crack a joke with them). Get me started on a topic that I really enjoy...and I will literally NOT stop talking about it (as people who are familiar with my ramblings on LJ are probably very much aware of! ~~Sorry about that, everyone...and thank you for putting up with me!~~ ♥). I've been told that I'm more playful and enthusiastic than my initial impression indicates by people because of that. I've also been described as polite (though socially awkward), creative, understanding, nervous, a worrier, and nice by others once they've gotten to know me.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: I'd rather see the silver lining to things, so I guess I'm more of an optimist/idealist at heart (though with probably some more realistic tendencies at times depending on certain situations).
Cautious or Impulsive: It can depend on the situation, but I think I tend to be more logical/cautious overall since I'm always worrying about things anyway.
Calm or Hyper: Somewhere in-between for the most part, although I do have moments of extreme hyperactivity and calmness.
Trusting or Cynical: Trusting, probably. I have my cynical moments (especially if it's about a situation that seems really odd or if someone has done things that were untrustworthy repeatedly before), but overall I try to be forgiving or believe in the best in others.
Leader or Follower: A follower, definitely...I'd constantly be worried about making the wrong decisions if I was placed in a position of leadership. And I'm not sure I could be strict enough in enforcing policies and what-not, so I'd probably be a somewhat ineffective leader at that.
Introverted or Extroverted: Very, very shy...I don't really dislike people or anything, I just have a really hard time getting the confidence I need to talk to others comfortably. It's something I need to work on, but it's a trait that's really hard to change. I'm able to be a bit more open around family and close friends though.
Independent or Dependent: Dependent...more than I'd like to be, at any rate. I'm more than capable of doing things for myself when I have to do so, but I tend to panic if I think about things for too long and become afraid that I somehow won't be able to do something or I'll mess it up due to my low self-confidence--so if I'm with a friend, I'll end up unconsciously letting them take the lead sometimes (for instance, it never fails how quickly I'll fall into silence during a conversation with somugh in enforcing policies and what-not, so I'd probably be a somewhat ineffective leader at that.

Persistent or Laid-Back: Oddly persistent in some situations, while laid-back in others. :D It kind of just depends. If it isn't something I feel overly strongly about, I'm usually more laid-back when it comes to most things though.
Confident or Modest: I'm almost self-deprecatingly modest at times and tend to lean more towards being insecure to the point where I hardly ever see value in my own work (even if someone tells me something I've done is good, I always doubt it in my head). I think that's partially due to my anxiousness and confidence issues, but aside from joking and occasionally acting that way online or with people I'm familiar with...I'm not a very confident person.

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My confidence issues. I think that's probably the biggest thing holding me back at times: I doubt that I'm strong enough to do things on my own, and it even stems into my shyness too (since I don't think anyone is interested in what I have to say, it makes it all the more terrifying to risk putting it out there and getting rejected). Being a bit more confident would just help me to reach my goals a bit quicker in the long run, I think.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? I don't enjoy conflict, but I can be pretty good at it if I'm annoyed at something enough ~~as my sister probably can attest to, orz~~! XD Still, as a rule...I don't particularly see it as being beneficial in the long run (and if I think about past conflicts I've had with certain people...I realize just how stupidly pointless most of them were to begin with), so I tend to try to end them as soon as I can or just avoid them in general if I'm able to do so (a quick change of topic or similar things like that to change a mood).
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? ...I probably really wouldn't do anything, lolz. I'd complain about it under my breath (or perhaps make a snarky comment with the cashier if they were also rude to them or something), but I wouldn't press the issue to the person themselves. It's a minor annoyance when people do things like that, and it's pretty rude too...but it's not going to really hurt me if I have to wait a little longer.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? ...Probably just because I felt like helping out. Maybe a friend needed help or something...but even if that wasn't the case, if there was something I could do to help save the world in that situation--I'd probably feel like a really big jerk if I DIDN'T try to do something. ~~Although the world might be doomed already if they're relying on someone like me to help them, lolz. XD~~
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Probably more of a defensive or supportive role. I'd not much of an offensive person when it comes to fighting even in things like video games, but I always spam healing and try doing status effects and the like...so I imagine that would probably be my style in a real fight too. :)
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Eh, not if it can be avoided! XD

Name: Breyzy

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: ~~Gah, I hate having to describe it! O_O;~~ Let's see: I'm very determined and stubborn. Once I set my mind to a goal, I don't stop until I finish it. I like helping people out for the most part, but I don't like feeling like I'm being taken advantage of. I'm also very independent, which I think can be both a good and a bad thing since it means I don't rely on others, even if I might need to. I'm told I'm funny, but my humor falls more in the "sarcastic" category so I'm sure there are others who disagree. I can get jealous easily and I don't trust people very readily. Even the people I'm closest to I don't trust fully. It takes a lot to get me mad, but once I've reached a "boiling point" I tend to get REALLY angry and I find it really hard to forgive someone who has made me mad. I also have this tendency to keep my inner thoughts and feelings inside without voicing them.

I took this test recently and got Chaotic Good as my Alignment, which I've gotten before on other tests and it seems fairly accurate! Horoscope-wise, I'm a Libra but I'm not entirely sure how relevant that is to my personality (parts of it *really* don't fit, but I thought I'd mention it in case for some reason you do find it helpful for voting O_O;). ♥

When I took the Enneagram Test, I got Type 8: The Challenger...which, for the most part, is a pretty good fit for me! Just some info from that link: Type 8 is known as the Powerful, Dominating Type: Self-Confident, Decisive, Willful, and Confrontational. Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their Best: self- mastering, they use their strength to improve others' lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring. Their Basic Fear is of being harmed or controlled by others and their Basic Desire is to protect themselves (to be in control of their own life and destiny). The Challengers want to be self-reliant, to prove their strength and resist weakness, to be important in their world, to dominate the environment, and to stay in control of their situation. ...Uh, pretty much most of what that link says is pretty accurate though. XD

...And, I just recently took this test, which was also pretty accurate to a degree if you need more of those types of things, lolz:
You are a family oriented person, and you are a good friend. You are selective about who you call "friend", however - not every acquaintance makes the cut. You like to spend regular time with the people whom you are close to, but you need time to yourself, too. If you are left too long without seeing your friends and family, you wilt, and if you see too MUCH of them, you become tired and irritable.

You are a sensitive and caring person, and you are very considerate of your friends' feelings. You are easily hurt, however, and people often hurt you accidentally with off-hand comments. You dislike confrontation, and your friends often do not realize that they have accidentally hurt you. You keep your emotions bottled up, rarely showing anger, or sadness. You don't want people to know how very sensitive you are, so you hide it under a tough, calm exterior.

Positive traits: Determined/Hard-Working, curious, independent, helpful/loyal (to those I can respect and/or care for, at any rate), humorous ~~...well, depends on who you talk to~~. O_O;
Negative traits: Untrusting, jealous, unforgiving, indecisive, independent (I consider this both a positive and negative trait of mine. It's positive in that I can handle things on my own and I look out for myself...it's negative because I feel like relying on others is a weakness, even in cases when it's obvious I need to {like when I'm stressed out for taking too much on myself}. I won't ask for help even when I need it because I rely too much on myself and not enough on others. I'm working on that too though).
Please list some of your dislikes: Mean/rude people, when people get into my personal space (I HAVE A PERSONAL SPACE BUBBLE, I DO!), and when people always make assumptions about things without actually knowing anything about them.
What is the first impression that you give others?: I've been told that I'm kind of intimidating from a first impression perspective as I'm not the warmest person when I'm first meeting someone...one of my friends actually once told me that I'm an example of why it isn't good to judge someone based off of a first impression ~~and I'm still not sure if that was a compliment or not, hehe~~. O_O; Once I get more comfortable with someone that impression goes away pretty fast though.
How are you described by those who know you?: Let's see..."persistent, humorous, dependable, friendly, hard-working, intelligent, loyal." ~~...LIARS.~~ I tend to be told that I'm funny and generally nice once people get to know me more.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Realistic, I would say. I don't think the world is made of puppies and rainbows, but I don't think it is out to get you either. Everything is just...what it is to me.
Cautious or Impulsive: It depends on what I might want. I am way more likely to be impulsive and jump into something without thinking *if* I'm already excited about it, but if it isn't something that I'm all that interested in I take a few more moments and try to approach it cautiously.
Calm or Hyper: Haha, I'm about to not be very helpful, but it honestly depends on the situation! If I'm at work or doing something that really requires my focus, then I'm extremely calm...but, if it is something I'm excited about, I can get pretty hyper (also, it depends on my caffeine intake! O_O;).
Trusting or Cynical: Very cynical. I'm really bad at trusting others, unfortunately. :/
Leader or Follower: I prefer to follow, honestly...but, I usually get stuck with leadership positions. Still, I'd rather lead than follow if no one else is going to! I have to really respect someone if they're going to try and lead me, lolz. If I think an individual besides myself can handle the leadership job well, I'm all for offering my support instead.
Introverted or Extroverted: I'm shy for about ten minutes when I'm first meeting someone, but I can't stay that way for long! I find silence really uncomfortable and unnerving, so I will always try to start conversations to fill the void, hehe. :D I'm sort of more reserved when it comes to "deep" things, like inner-thoughts/feelings. I tend to keep those to myself unless I feel really comfortable with the person I'm talking to. So...extroverted about superficial stuff? XD
Independent or Dependent: Independent for the most part. I don't like having to rely on others.
Persistent or Laid-Back: In general, I'm persistent! If I want something, I don't really stop until I accomplish that goal. ...However, if it is something I'm maybe not 100%-invested in, I can be pretty laid-back regarding it. I'll still work for it, but I probably won't put as much effort into it overall.
Confident or Modest: Outwardly confident, inwardly horribly insecure/doubtful. Despite how I may appear really driven and confident on the outside, most of the time on the inside I am full of doubts and fear. Like I've mentioned before, I just don't like vocalizing that kind of stuff unless I'm around someone I can really trust.

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My inability to ask others for help. I feel like relying on others is a weakness, even in cases when it's obvious I need to (like when I'm stressed out for taking too much on myself). I'm really *trying* to work on that though!
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? Depends on the conflict and my thoughts on it (or even my emotional investment in it). I actually like a fun challenge, so if I think of something as just a good-natured debate I'll actually find it kind of entertaining: I like seeing other people's POVs even if I don't agree with them, so as long as they're respectful of my opinions I'm willing to hear them out too. I like debating about stuff and I'll talk your ears off if you let me! But conflict that's just started intentionally to belittle others actually really annoys me and I'll try to end it as quickly as possible! You can always tell when I'm *really* mad in a conflict because I just won't talk...AT ALL, lolz. That's actually really abnormal for me in conflicts, so it is kind of my sign that I just want it to end.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? Haha, I've actually done that whole "Oh, no...you didn't!" thing in situations like this before (gah, that's embarrassing to admit! O_O;). I definitely say something or let it be known by my body language that I'm annoyed, but if they don't move I'm not going to start a big fight over it. Yeah, stuff like that is annoying, but I'll survive having to wait another couple minutes. XD
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? Hnn...maybe a little bit all of the above? I'm a part of the world, so if I help out I'm kind of helping myself in a roundabout way anyways. If there was something I could actually do, I'd do it because...well, I wouldn't be able to think of a valid reason not to, if that makes sense!
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Offensive, probably! I could see myself coming up with some awesome defensive or supportive strategy and then just abandon it about 10 seconds into a fight because my "ZOMG, I'M IN A FIGHT!" instincts take over. I'm just not patient enough sometimes, lolz. XD
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Uh, no...not unless I'd have a good reason to (like if they were blocking my only way out of a tunnel or something).

Name: ari

【 About Yourself... 】

Please describe your personality:

ENFP
zany charm, typically very bright and full of potential, demonstrative and spontaneous, able to inspire and motivate others, can talk their way in or out of anything, tend towards procrastination and dislike performing small and uninteresting tasks.

enfps have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. they are good at most things which interest them. project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. to onlookers, the enfp may seem directionless and without purpose, but they are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives. they want to be liked and admired by other people.

they are easily intrigued and distracted by new friends and acquaintances, forgetting their older and more familiar emotional ties for long stretches at a time. and the less mature enfp may need to feel they’re the constant center of attention, to confirm their image of themselves as a fascinating person.

see also: enneagram type 4 (the individualist) or rather, the flaws of type 4s (because those are spot on)
self-aware & creative, ironic view of self and life (can be serious and funny, vulnerable and emotionally strong), moody and self-conscious. will sometimes withhold themselves from others due to feeling vulnerable and defective, they can also feel disdainful and exempt from ordinary ways of living. has problems with melancholy, self-indulgence, self-pity. fears that they have no identity or personal significance, and to find that significance is their great desire. 4s typically have problems with a negative self-image and chronically low self-esteem. will sometimes internalize everything, taking everything personally and become self-absorbed and introverted, moody and hypersensitive, shy and self-conscious.

chaotic neutral
a chaotic neutral character follows his whims. he is an individualist first and last. such characters have been known to cheerfully and for no apparent purpose gamble away everything they have on the roll of a single die. they are almost totally unreliable. chaotic neutral characters like to indulge in everything. this is the insurgent, the con-man, gambler, and high roller; the uncommitted freebooter seeking nothing more than self-gratification. this type of character will at least consider doing anything if they can find enjoyment or amusement. life has meaning, but theirs has the greatest meaning. according to chaotic neutrals, laws and rules infringe on personal freedom and were meant to be broken. this character is always looking for the best deal, and will work with good, neutral, or evil to get it; as long as he comes out of the situation on top.

they tend to believe in luck and chance, rather than fate or destiny. they don't care what happens to others, yet will not necessarily go out of their way to harm others. if someone stands in the way of their happiness, they may kill that individual or move on to something else. their priorities tend to change as they experience new things in life. they may even appear to adhere to another alignment for some length of time, only to switch at an inappropriate moment. they can be the worst tricksters, conning people, not for gain, but for sheer amusement. the chaotic neutral may not be driven by fame or wealth, but may only take actions just to see what happens. a chaotic neutral character will keep his word if it serves his interests. he may attack an unarmed foe if he feels it necessary. he will not kill, but may harm an innocent. he may use torture to extract information, but never for pleasure. he may kill for pleasure, but is not likely to do so.

Positive traits:
√ comfortable with all of my various eccentricities and geekiness. i've got a good memory for facts/trivia/references/etc & am constantly pouring over books. if something interests me, i am all over it, absorbing everything & soaking up the knowledge, coming across as borderline obsessive. very technologically savvy (my parents like having their own private tech support).
√ organized (to the point of where it might seem obsessive-compulsive), persnickety, more detailed oriented
√ insightful & good at reading people. i'm also the advice friend even if i don't always follow my own; friendly and the designated shoulder to cry on (even though it makes me terribly uncomfortable lol somehow i am the comforter, who will also punch a motherfucker in the throat for a friend).
√ great sense of humor & ace at making people laugh. sometimes it's at inappropriate times, but hey, good comedic timing is good comedic timing. and i realize it's about half and half, people laugh with me just as much as people laugh at me. i have no problem lightening the mood, defusing any tension, or drawing the attention away from anything.

Negative traits:
✖ i'm narcissistic. sometimes i'm careless with other people (sometimes i go out of my way to be a dick or i'm too sarcastic at inappropriate times or i'm just too self-involved).
✖ i am possibly the most passive-aggressive person you will ever meet. yes i've gotten better at controlling my temper but still, my bouts of red mists should be feared and handled with care.
✖ too competitive and yes, okay, i turn into kind of an asshole. right from the start i will suss out my biggest competitor and set my sights on that person. i'm a sore loser and sometimes it seems like my happiness and the amount of fun i have depends on winning, on being better at something than other people. i'm actually a lot more insecure than i let on, it's like i have an almost desperate need to be acknowledge for who i am and what i have/will accomplish. lol my self worth issues are definitely tied to my competitive spirit + my (perceived) success/failures.
✖ intelligent but i either don't use it to my full potential or i use it for things i shouldn't; if it's something that doesn't matter as much to me/bores me/something i'm not good at, then i don't really try my hardest with it. i say 'fuck it' way too often and i'm unmotivated a lot of the times. i tend to jump from one thing to the next without really committing to or finishing anything.

Please list some of your dislikes:
ignorance/prejudice/discrimination/hate/-isms, any and all trust exercises, wet socks and the sounds they make, pizza that has more sauce than cheese, florescent lighting, bad roommates, onions, humidity, underwater caves, earth worms, favoritism, love confessions, cheap lighters, folks sans zombie survival plan, people singing happy birthday to me, babies anywhere near me, apple pie, too much silence

What is the first impression that you give others?:
aloof & caustic & intimidating whoops

How are you described by those who know you?:
witty & hilarious, enthusiastic & garrulous to a fault, neurotic and can be socially awkward at times, temperamental & passive-aggressive, super competitive, has way too much pop culture knowledge & some premium dance moves.

Cautious or Impulsive:
i like time to suss things out, think them over, etc but tbh i have a habit of being much more impulsive when i'm goaded/manipulated in action (due to my anger-impulse or competitiveness) or when i'm with certain friends. i am easily friendship enabled. sometimes i'll throw caution to the wind and just jump right in. i have the embarrassing stories and scars to prove it.

Calm or Hyper:
i definitely have energy to spare. i'm the person who, when forced to sit still, is a habitual pen-clicker/phone-checker/restless leg mover. when i'm energetic and excited/enthusiastic? yeah have fun with that.

Trusting or Cynical:
definitely more cynical. you gotta break through my tough pokemon outer shell.

Leader or Follower:
i'm comfortable being a leader with people i know and i'm used to, if i know the dynamics and have experience with the group, i haven't a problem taking charge. ask anyone and they'll tell you it's probably better if i'm not actually in charge, especially with people who don't know me/aren't used to my way of doing things. as i've gotten older, i've gotten better at dealing with the people aspect of it. i'm more friendly and encouraging and uh, nice. mostly. sometimes.

Introverted or Extroverted:
BOTH lol let me explain. at first glance, i'm a little standoffish. i prefer to hang back and observe first, get a feel for people before making that social splash. and really, it's only when i have something to "hide" behind, a book or headphones, something that makes it so i don't have to be with others, that i'll let myself be as antisocial as i want to be. (i don't actually realize i'm doing it lol but it's been brought to my attention that when i'm in one of my aloof moods, i tend to bitchface at everyone.)

i don't necessarily like meeting new people, or rather, i hate the awkward chitchat that happens when you meet someone and they obviously are more interested in getting to know me than i am them. when i need to be, i can be very charming and approaching when i put in the effort or when i actually want to meet new people, but if not? i can be really off putting. it's best to let me come to you and not the other way around. catch my interest or give me a reason to want to get to know you. let me put out the friendly welcoming mat first. you have to give me a reason not to immediately dislike you and write you off.

once i get to know people and friendships are made, it's a completely different story and the aloof person i was at first is hardly ever remembered. ask any of my friends and they'll tell you how friendly/exuberant/boisterous i am. it's a comfort level thing, the more comfortable and happy i am, the more extroverted i am.

Independent or Dependent:
i feel like i used to be quite dependent so i guess now i try to overcompensate for that by being super independent. i don't like asking for help or having to rely on someone else when i feel should be able to handle things on my own.

Persistent or Laid-Back:
both in different (super annoying) ways. i tend to be more laid back about things that need to be done (i am the worst kind of procrastinator); on the other hand, if i know i'm right and you're wrong i will ~persist~ in proving that point to you and anyone else willing to listen or i can force to listen to me.

Confident or Modest:
can i describe myself as an insecure narcissist and leave it at that?

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
one thing? how about a handful of things. take your pick, any of the following, etc etc. how unmotivated i am/my tendency to quit things. how desperate i can be for acknowledgement. how careless i can be with other people. my tendency to cut & run or push other people away.

Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can?
it depends on what kind and how personal it is. i like arguing for the sake of arguing, i like when things get too competitive, i like stirring shit up and watching what happens. but in terms of confrontations yeah it depends on if i'm doing the confronting or if I'm being confronted (and whether i feel like i'm being attacked verbally/emotionally).

if i need to confront someone, i'll bide my time, make sure i'm clearheaded with my emotions under control and i'll come up with a game plan. i like planning out what i need to say and have retorts and arguments ready if i need them. if I'm being confronted, especially if i'm blindsided by it, i usually get either defensive or if i feel like i'm being attacked i'll either shut down emotionally and try to hightail it out of there if that's the easiest way. sometimes i've become manipulative and hurtful, i've maybe guilt tripped or even cried if i feel like it'll help me win. because yes, it boils down to me seeing a confrontation as a situation to win or lose, and i hate losing.

Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react?
rudely, probably. and then i will spend the rest of the day telling people about it and complaining and annoying everyone.

Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself?
when it comes down to it honestly everything i do is probably more selfish than anything else. i have people important to me, that i care about and would fight for, but even if there's a moment where it seems like i'm doing something for someone else, there's always a tiny part that is motivated by a self-serving reason. i choose myself first before anything else, i am the ground floor of my hierarchy of needs, then come my important people, then maybe further up because it's the right thing to do.

Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role?
defensive, at first. i'd rather let my opposition make the first couple of moves, let me get a feel of how they operate, suss out any weaknesses i can, let them start to tire themselves out before i turn the tide. once i go on the offensive there's really no coming back from that. it's on, shit just got real.

You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway?
well i'm not good at letting those kind of challenges pass me by but of course if i have other things/plans that need my attention immediately i will go with my priorities. probably.

Name: Amber ♥

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: I'm a mix of Spontaneous Idealist and INFP.
Spontaneous Idealists are creative, lively and open-minded persons. They are humorous and dispose of a contagious zest for life. Their enthusiasm and sparkling energy inspires others and sweeps them along. They enjoy being together with other people and often have an uncanny intuition for their motivations and potential. Spontaneous Idealists are masters of communication and very amusing and gifted entertainers. Fun and variety are guaranteed when they are around. However, they are sometimes somewhat too impulsive in dealing with others and can hurt people without really meaning to do so, due to their direct and sometimes critical nature.
INFPs are introspective, private, creative and highly idealistic individuals that have a constant desire to be on a meaningful path. They are driven by their values and seek peace. Empathetic and compassionate, they want to help others and humanity as a whole. INFPs are imaginative, artistic and often have a talent for language and writing. They can also be described as easygoing, selfless, guarded, adaptable, patient and loyal.
I also took this test and I got the Neutral Good alignment which I think fits pretty well... And I also got Regal Soul on a Daemon test, which makes some sense but it's not totally accurate at some points. I'll copy and paste what I think is accurate: You love to be around people. Without them, you would wilt and fade away. Too much time alone leave you feeling listless and sad, but a good night out with your buddies puts the spring back into your step. You make friends easily, because you know how to adjust your behaviour for each person. With a rowdy, loud, social type of person you can be rowdy, and loud, and social. With a timid and mousy person you can be quiet and sensitive. While you have many friends and many faces, you have an inner circle of friends and family with whom you can truly be yourself.
Maybe that helps some? :)

Positive traits: I'm very aware of people's feelings and such. I'm fiercely loyal to those I love. I'm not a nosy person and I don't push something when it's obvious someone doesn't want to talk, part of that being because I read people pretty well. I'm always trying to look on the bright side of situations, even when others find them to be completly hopeless. I'm pretty funny at certain times, too. It's only once in a while that I act funny, but when I do it's hilarious! (Hahaha, at least I'd like to think I'm pretty funny...)
Negative traits: I do not like to work. At all. Sometimes I can get fairly bossy, and it annoys a bunch of my family members all the time. I can get annoyed pretty easily. Just a little slip can set me off, even if it's meant to be just a joke. I can also be blunt. Like really blunt. But I try to not hurt people when the subject's sensitive... But my biggest problem is how I always have to have approval from other people. Just a little criticism, even constructive criticism, can ruin my entire day... But I'm putting effort into changing that trait :)
Please list some of your dislikes: I hate having the door to my room open when I'm in it. And you know the numbers that you see whenever you turn up the volume? I can't stand it when that number's odd. ~~I swear this question always makes me sound OCD...~~ And I dislike humorless people and backstabbers too.
What is the first impression that you give others?: Well... Usually I get "nice." I don't really give off too strong of an impression until much later :)
How are you described by those who know you?: Someone once said I'm "under appreciated" by my friends and that I somewhat have a guilty conscious. In other words I always think I did something wrong. The same person has also said that I'm a firey personality and that I worry too much about what people think.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Optimistic. Yes. I've annoyed people with my optimism XD; But even then I have my pessimistic moments.. Really though. Who doesn't?
Cautious or Impulsive: I'm much more impulsive really. It's uh... It's gotten me into a lot of trouble before XD; I don't really think before saying something... I just say it D; But in more sensitive situations I do tend to watch my mouth a bit.
Calm or Hyper: I'm more... Energetic. I wouldn't say that I'm exactly hyper, ya know? Overall though it really just depends on how I feel. I know that there are certain instances where you need to be more calm anyway :)
Trusting or Cynical: Trusting. Unless you've wronged me in some way I don't see any reason to be cynical towards you *shrug*
Leader or Follower: I'm the type that could both lead and follow. I really don't mind it when someone else is in charge but if there's no one who's willing to step up I'm more than willing to take the lead :)
Introverted or Extroverted: A mix of both, honestly... It's one of those things where it really just depends on my mood, ya know?
Independent or Dependent: Dependent, but I really wish I wasn't. I should also mention that I'm especially dependent on one certain person...
Persistent or Laid-Back: I'm much more laid-back! And it's yet another thing that gets me into plenty of trouble D;
Confident or Modest: It... Depends. I'm actually somewhat proud of my looks (that sounds bad, I know) but there are plenty of my traits that I'm not proud of.

【 Add something here 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My need for everyone's approval... It's a trait that I've had forever and it's a trait I've hated forever. But like I said... I've been trying to work on changing that :)
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? I seek to never start it to begin with! XD I really don't like conflict so if I can stop it, I'll do it as soon as possible.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? Well I'm sure to tell them to get the hell out of line in some way. If I'm already in a bad mood then I'll probably be more aggressive to him, but on a good day I'll do the exhasparated "clear my throat and tap my foot" thing.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? I think it'd be just for the sake of helping others. I'd be saving it for others, but probably more to save people who were particularly important to me :)
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? I think I'd be like a mix of supportive and defensive since I'm not exactly the strongest physically XD
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Nope. I'm for sure out of there... Unless I'm mad. Then maybe I'll fight it :p

Name: Natalie.

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: My enneagram type would be 9, I think. I am also a Dreamy Idealist i.e. IntrovertediNtuitiveFeelingPerceiving. On the very popular daemon quiz, my result was Multi-Faceted Soul and I think it fits me very well. My zodiac sign is a Gemini, although I feel that Libra or Pisces could've fit me slightly better. I do think that Gemini fits me in a way that I have quite a lot of sides to my personality, nevertheless.

Let's see, now... I'm a person with a lot of flaws, the biggest one being my shyness, I may even seem anti-social to some; I really have trouble with talking freely to people at first, although afterward I open up a little and become very fun and friendly, although still not really outgoing, more like open. I can't stand seeing others in physical or mental pain very much, as it sort of transfers to me each time, and in that way I'm very sensitive; which usually turns out in me trying to awkwardly help with cheering others up and standing up for them, even when I honestly can't even stand up for myself, haha. I can sometimes be selfish, but still deep inside I care a lot about others, even though I don't always show it. I'm also very polite and I highly respect rules, even if at times I do think some of them are just meaningless, I think I would have been a good class president ~~who wouldn't bother anyone who doesn't want to be bothered~~. I despise depressing and sick things, such as cannibalism and murder in general, though I'm not ignorant and I do admit it exists and is a problem. I love LOVE! As well as fantasy, humor, romance and adventures.

I'm also slightly Type A tsundere, when I think about it, because I get very easily embarrassed when I talk about love or feelings and other things like that and I may not show my affection towards someone as openly as others. Let's just say I'm more of a shy tsundere type rather than outgoing tsundere type? I won't go around hitting the one I love, but I might give them the cold shoulder. Despite my wagon of flaws, I do believe I'm not obnoxious or immature, I always speak in a very peaceful manner and even my ever-constant irritation isn't very easy to spot, it takes a lot to make me act like a, well, normal person. One other thing I feel is worth mentioning is the fact that I'm a huge homebody, while I like fresh air and seeing new places can be quite fascinating, I'm probably as far as someone who has wanderlust as possible, I don't feel comfortable being far away from home.
"Good advice. If I listened earlier, I wouldn't be here. But that's just the trouble with me. I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it." - me in a nutshell.

Positive traits: Internally strong, diligent, imaginative, intelligent, funny (or I try to be, that is, haha), understanding, sympathetic, flexible, thoughtful, kindhearted, conscientious, forgiving, honest, but in a more gentle way; I try not to hurt people with the harsh or not so harsh truth unless I feel they deserve that.
Negative traits: Intolerant to stupidity, sensitive, anxious, distractable, lazy (I can do things very half-assed when I'm not interested), dependent, unsure, unfocused, initially guarded, finical, agreeable, spontaneous, bossy, impatient (to a point), grumpy. The following traits don't show nearly as much as others, but I do feel they need to be there to have a better picture: selfish/spoiled, critical, petty, feisty, prideful.
Please list some of your dislikes: Having to take a lot of medicine, which doesn't help the matter really, because I do have to take a lot of it still. Don't worry, I'm not a crazy person who needs to be medicated all the time, I just have an unfortunate disease and my mum's unfortunate love for vitamin pills, haha. Also, certain supporters of gay rights or feminism or anti-racism or other "popular" cultures who seriously are losing it with taking everything way too seriously and not even letting others state their honest opinion; no, I'm not someone close-minded who criticizes those movements, either, but I much prefer a calmer approach from people who sincerely care. When some people like to bring others down because they're not cool enough, in whatever sense... but I guess the most common would be school bullying. Other things I dislike would be drugs, alcohol, having to breathe smoky air, boiled vegetables, bitter chocolate and bitter food or attitude in general, unfairness, having to listen to betchy authority, being left alone when all I want is to be with someone.
What is the first impression that you give others?: Strangers usually think I'm either very collected and almost anti-social or very shy and need to open up, but you do need to know they are only strangers, and they're almost never right really, haha.
How are you described by those who know you?: Let me think, they often say I'm cute, very very often for sure... it's one trait that people never fail to see in me; I can't say I get it entirely well... they also say I'm honest, strong, sheltered, lazy and a bit selfish, as well as naive/clueless and too kind.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Realistic idealist :)
Cautious or Impulsive: I'm usually cautious, but can be impulsive if I get too emotional.
Calm or Hyper: Calm with hyper moments from time to time.
Trusting or Cynical: It's really hard to answer, but I'm thinking slightly more trusting than cynical.
Leader or Follower: I'm not much of a leader, I don't handle pressure very well and I'm too emotional to be controlling a group of people. Although some people did say I could've been a great leader, I'd much rather be my own leader in my head. So yeah, I'm leaning a bit more towards a follower, even though I don't follow without thinking things through and sharing my thoughts on how to act with the leader.
Introverted or Extroverted: I hide my feelings a lot (sometimes successfully), but at the same time I'm very open with my close friends, I'll basically tell them anything as long as I feel they're willing to listen.
Independent or Dependent: Both in a weird way. I try to act independent around others (though to be completely honest, it rarely works out very well, lol), especially people I don't know, but inside I'm dependent. I don't know what I'd do without some of my friends and my family, they're too important to me to ever lose without it having a huge impact on my world.
Persistent or Laid-Back: Laid-back in a sense that I know when to back off and stuff.
Confident or Modest: More modest than confident? I can be confident in certain areas, but I'm usually modest about anything I'm good at, at least outside. I just have way too much stuff going on in my brain ~~that you probably don't want to know about either way~~, haha.

【 Add something here 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I'd like to be less sensitive to whatever others think of me.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? One thing I surely do not enjoy in life is conflict, and I prefer to not start it in the first place. I don't mind rivalry, though, as I find it fun from time to time!
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? I would definitely boil up inside, but outside I would try to stay cool. What I would surely do, though, is cut in front of them again because I'm a very mature individual, lol.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? Probably to help somebody who I consider a close friend of mine or just fight because I have no other choice... I'm just not normally a world-saving type.
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Supportive, that's for sure; although I don't think I can't get offensive and defensive from time to time either? Since it would be rather boring to just be in a supportive role after a while.
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Not really, I don't see much of a point, plus I imagine I would avoid fighting with enemies, especially powerful ones.

【 Optional 】
Are there any characters you would prefer not to be voted as? Well, Ruka, because I'd hardly be so obedient to someone as crazy as Rintarou, lol. Or this shy and soft in general, because that's a bit over nine thousand in his case, haha.

Name: Yin

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: I try to see the good in everyone and live by the policy of "forgive and forget," I hardly ever get jealous of other people, I’m understanding, and I try to avoid conflict if at all possible. I’m incredibly shy and withdrawn around other people, and I don’t really have a lot of confidence in my own abilities. I tend to worry about things that I have no control over, and I can be a bit immature and childish at times. I’d probably much rather run away from problems than simply deal with them head-on, and I can be really naïve (my family and friends will often tell me that I don’t act with common sense). But at the same time, I can ALSO be insanely stubborn and determined when I feel very strongly about something so it really just depends on the situation at hand. I can ramble on and on when it comes to topics that catch my interest too. I tend to probably be way more polite than is necessary in most social situations as well, for some reason.

I recently took this test...and I pretty much was tied with Lawful Good and Neutral Good (seriously...I took the test four times just to be sure, and literally had only about a point of difference between both options in my individual results depending on how I answered one or two questions XD). I could see both options fitting for me within reason at times and I've actually gotten both results before on similar online tests in the past as well, so I shall mention them here in case they could be helpful for stamping purposes! :D Thank you very much to cassandrablue for the test link! ♥

I took the Enneagram Personality Test, and I got Type 6: The Loyalist...which seems fairly accurate for the most part. In brief, the Type 6 is described as The Committed, Security-Oriented Type: Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent "troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious—running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others. They have a basic fear of being without support and guidance, and their basic desire is to have security and support. The key motivations for a Type 6 are that they want to have security, to feel supported by others, to have certitude and reassurance, to test the attitudes of others toward them, to fight against anxiety and insecurity. ...And the link itself does an even more detailed/lengthier description of that personality type if you need it! I think it fits rather well, all things considered.

...And I followed someone's example and also took this test. It was fairly accurate, I thought! So feel free to read this one too if you still need more personality reference:
You are shy and a little reclusive. Big crowds and new social situations make you feel uncomfortable and nervous. You prefer to stick with your close friends and family. You have a large personal space and you hate to feel crowded or overwhelmed. If you have been dragged out to a party, or have had a stressful day at work, you need to retreat to your own private place for a while afterwards to recharge.

You are very sensitive, and easily hurt. You tend to worry about what other people are thinking about you. Often, the offhand comments that people make hurt your feelings. You tend to hide your feelings from people whom you are not comfortable with, like strangers, acquaintances or coworkers. You may brush things off with a joke or hide your pain behind a toss of the head. You try not to overreact to things, and you avoid conflict, especially with strangers. However, if you are pushed too far, you can defend yourself with a vengeance.

With your loved ones you are quite different. You trust them with your feelings and with them you tend to be more open and sincere. You are loyal and clannish, and while you hide yourself from strangers and acquaintances, you come out of hiding when your close friends and family are around. Or at least, you do for a while, before you need to retreat back into your private place to re-charge.

Positive traits: Caring, observant, creative, playful, polite, and understanding.
Negative traits: Shy, anxious, daydreamer (from the stance that I sometimes have to be reminded to keep myself grounded when I let my mind wander), naïve, lazy, and indecisive.
Please list some of your dislikes: Character/couple bashing (even if I disagree with someone's point of view, I like remaining open minded and respectful of their opinions), unnecessary fights, and people who are intentionally cruel to others.
What is the first impression that you give others?: ...I think that, when people first meet me, they probably view me as someone who needs to be protected somehow. As I stated before, I come across as someone very quiet and nervous when interacting with people I'm not overly-familiar with...and I've even been called "meek" and "timid" on more than one occasion.
How are you described by those who know you?: Once I become more comfortable around someone, I can open up a bit more (people are often surprised the first time I speak up or crack a joke with them). Get me started on a topic that I really enjoy...and I will literally NOT stop talking about it (as people who are familiar with my ramblings on LJ are probably very much aware of! ~~Sorry about that, everyone...and thank you for putting up with me!~~ ♥). I've been told that I'm more playful and enthusiastic than my initial impression indicates by people because of that. I've also been described as polite (though socially awkward), creative, understanding, nervous, a worrier, and nice by others once they've gotten to know me.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: I'd rather see the silver lining to things, so I guess I'm more of an optimist/idealist at heart (though with probably some more realistic tendencies at times depending on certain situations).
Cautious or Impulsive: It can depend on the situation, but I think I tend to be more logical/cautious overall since I'm always worrying about things anyway.
Calm or Hyper: Somewhere in-between for the most part, although I do have moments of extreme hyperactivity and calmness.
Trusting or Cynical: Trusting, probably. I have my cynical moments (especially if it's about a situation that seems really odd or if someone has done things that were untrustworthy repeatedly before), but overall I try to be forgiving or believe in the best in others.
Leader or Follower: A follower, definitely...I'd constantly be worried about making the wrong decisions if I was placed in a position of leadership. And I'm not sure I could be strict enough in enforcing policies and what-not, so I'd probably be a somewhat ineffective leader at that.
Introverted or Extroverted: Very, very shy...I don't really dislike people or anything, I just have a really hard time getting the confidence I need to talk to others comfortably. It's something I need to work on, but it's a trait that's really hard to change. I'm able to be a bit more open around family and close friends though.
Independent or Dependent: Dependent...more than I'd like to be, at any rate. I'm more than capable of doing things for myself when I have to do so, but I tend to panic if I think about things for too long and become afraid that I somehow won't be able to do something or I'll mess it up due to my low self-confidence--so if I'm with a friend, I'll end up unconsciously letting them take the lead sometimes (for instance, it never fails how quickly I'll fall into silence during a conversation with someone I don't know very well if I'm with a more extroverted friend).
Persistent or Laid-Back: Oddly persistent in some situations, while laid-back in others. :D It kind of just depends. If it isn't something I feel overly strongly about, I'm usually more laid-back when it comes to most things though.
Confident or Modest: I'm almost self-deprecatingly modest at times and tend to lean more towards being insecure to the point where I hardly ever see value in my own work (even if someone tells me something I've done is good, I always doubt it in my head). I think that's partially due to my anxiousness and confidence issues, but aside from joking and occasionally acting that way online or with people I'm familiar with...I'm not a very confident person.

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My confidence issues. I think that's probably the biggest thing holding me back at times: I doubt that I'm strong enough to do things on my own, and it even stems into my shyness too (since I don't think anyone is interested in what I have to say, it makes it all the more terrifying to risk putting it out there and getting rejected). Being a bit more confident would just help me to reach my goals a bit quicker in the long run, I think.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? I don't enjoy conflict, but I can be pretty good at it if I'm annoyed at something enough ~~as my sister probably can attest to, orz~~! XD Still, as a rule...I don't particularly see it as being beneficial in the long run (and if I think about past conflicts I've had with certain people...I realize just how stupidly pointless most of them were to begin with), so I tend to try to end them as soon as I can or just avoid them in general if I'm able to do so (a quick change of topic or similar things like that to change a mood).
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? ...I probably really wouldn't do anything, lolz. I'd complain about it under my breath (or perhaps make a snarky comment with the cashier if they were also rude to them or something), but I wouldn't press the issue to the person themselves. It's a minor annoyance when people do things like that, and it's pretty rude too...but it's not going to really hurt me if I have to wait a little longer.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? ...Probably just because I felt like helping out. Maybe a friend needed help or something...but even if that wasn't the case, if there was something I could do to help save the world in that situation--I'd probably feel like a really big jerk if I DIDN'T try to do something. ~~Although the world might be doomed already if they're relying on someone like me to help them, lolz. XD~~
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Probably more of a defensive or supportive role. I'd not much of an offensive person when it comes to fighting even in things like video games, but I always spam healing and try doing status effects and the like...so I imagine that would probably be my style in a real fight too. :)
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Eh, not if it can be avoided! XD

Are there any characters you would prefer not to be voted as? Not really...though I'll be really surprised if I get votes for certain ones, orz. XD I have a big soft spot for Paradise Kiss as far as shoujo series go, so I'm really excited to see a theme for it (one new theme down...two more to go! XD).

themes: digimon adventure, paradise kiss, steins;gate

2012-09-14T20:26:17Z

Our new themes are Digimon Adventure, Paradise Kiss and Steins;Gate with Code Geass, Dogs: Bullets & Carnage, Baccano coming next. Since we're almost done with all the series that got most votes in our first poll, I will post a new one a little before the last themes so we have the time to prepare stamps. If you'd like to suggest themes, visit this post.

Big thanks to pinkified who helped me with this post and made PK and Steins;Gate stamps.

Hikari Yagami
Hikari Yagami is Tai's younger sister who helped him care for an Agumon when she was a toddler, having a sixth sense. She did not attend summer camp with the others due to her health issues. Regardless, she is gentle but frail and compassionate girl who always puts others before herself. She avoids fighting when possible. She can be serious, especially in drastic situations. Revealed to be "the eighth DigiDestined child", Kari is partnered to Gatomon and obtains the Crest of Light as she joins Tai and the others during their battle with the Dark Masters and Apocalymon. Kari admires Tai and is seen as an equal to T.K. In the sequel, Digimon Adventure 02, Kari has matured into a "smiling, charmingly energetic, and bright girl", but has also become "mischievous" and "playful". She now dons a digital camera as a trademark item instead of her camp whistle. Joining the new DigiDestinated, Kari obtained the Digi-egg of Light.

Jou Kido
Joe is the bearer of the Crest of Reliability (Faithfulness/Sincerity/Integrity in Japan). He is very dependable and thoughtful. In spite of his constant worrying (to the point of him being a nervous wreck) and his tendency to feel "allergic" to everything around him. Joe has a strong sense of responsibility. In many instances, he takes it upon himself to be the voice of reason within the group and tries, often without success, to steer the other DigiDestined away from reckless action. He is often perceived as being a "stick in the mud" and his "safety first" attitude is often the source of teasing from other characters, especially Gomamon, his Digimon partner who feels he should lighten up and look on the bright side of things. Joe is certainly extremely intelligent and although Izzy is deemed as the smartest of the group Joe does appear to have a much more practical knowledge base than Izzy demonstrated by his abilities to administer basic medical treatment and in the third episode of the series use his knowledge of astronomy to try and determine where the group is. However, his sense of responsibility sometimes leads him into selfless and brave actions.

Koushiro Izumi
Koushirou is a computer expert and spends most of his free time researching on his laptop. He is very curious and is always making theories and trying to understand the world around him. He starts out as a very introverted person, who isn't very in touch with other people and doesn't really understand their feelings. Being logical and thoughtful, he doesn't appreciate impulsiveness and gets angry when people around him act before thinking. He is the partner of Tentomon and the bearer of the Crest of Knowledge. Izzy’s skills with the computer, however, soon prove to be extraordinarily useful for the group.

Alternative Stamp
Mimi Tachikawa
Mimi Tachikawa is kind and caring, although initially slightly selfish. She is very blunt and outspoken, especially in the beginning of the series, and despite her complaining as well as self-centeredness, she bares the Crest of Sincerity (Purity in Japan). Despite being horribly out of touch with reality at points, Mimi is arguably one of the most realistic and feeling characters of the first season. Mimi was the more effected of the DigiDestined to the point of refusing to fight out of seeing their Digimon friends getting killed because of them. However, she ultimately realizes that she has to fight in order to save the Digital World and plays a vital role in the defeat of Piedmon with the army of Digimon friends she gathered. Her closest friend in the group appears to be Sora Takenouchi, who seems to be the first one to comfort her in most situations that scare her, and is the main reason that she came to her senses at one point where she manages to influence a group of Gekomon to treat her as a princess and then throws both Tai and Joe in the dungeon when they try to make her stop.

Sora Takenouchi
Sora is a very reliable person and tries to take care of the other kids, like a mother would. Because of her father's work at Kyoto, she usually lives only with her mother, who owns a flower shop. Sora is partnered with Piyomon and is the bearer of the Crest of Love. Sora was very tomboyish, being the only girl in the school's soccer team, where she was the teammate of Yagami Taichi and Izumi Koushiro. A caring person, she was very protective of the group, and acted as a motherly figure. She often acted as a voice of reason to the others, especially during Taichi and Ishida Yamato's arguments.

Taichi Yagami
Taichi Yagami is adventurous, athletic, charismatic and the main protagonist, which easily makes him the leader of the DigiDestined. However, his aggressive, impulsive personality often puts him in danger. He eventually learns empathy and compassion are key to success instead of reckless courage. Tai obtained the Crest of Courage during the group's initial confrontation with Etemon. Tai is a very caring and considerate person, even if his actions may cause some people to think otherwise. Unfortunately, this caring personality is often hidden by his rash actions brought upon by that desire to help people. It takes time for him to learn how to be a leader, but he does blossom as a person to someone who knows what he has to do and will do it. He learns to look farther ahead and also to mellow out a little and not act brashly, which is exemplified by how calmly he takes in situations when mentoring the younger DigiDestined. In the sequel, Digimon Adventure 02, Tai matured; he became more patient, helping the new Digidestined whatever time allows him.

Takeru Takaishi
Takeru "T.K." Takaishi, known simply as Takeru Takaishi in Japan, is the youngest DigiDestined out of the core seven. He is gentle, sweet-natured, and generous. He is also obedient and follows the DigiDestined's lead without complaints. He is also described as Kari Kamiya's "equal." He is younger brother of Matt, but lives with his mother instead due to a divorce between their parents. Although T.K. was too young to remember the events of the divorce clearly, he is still affected by it and does not like to openly talk about it. Despite the distance between T.K. and Matt, he admires Matt greatly and tries to be brave to "impress" him, although he begins to open up to the other DigiDestined as well, particularly Tai.

Yamato Ishida
Matt, one of the original DigiDestined, starts out as a secretive loner whose Digimon partner is Gabumon. His younger brother, T.K. Takaishi, is also one of the eight DigiDestined. Matt is regarded as "cool" by his peers and seen as a "born rebel" who "prefers to do things his own way." However, he can be passionate and emotional as well. Behind his façade, Matt has an "introspective, sensitive side" that comes through around his younger brother is T.K. Takaishi, whom he is fiercely protective of. Matt served an odd role during the first season. He was the best friend of the group leader Tai Kamiya as well as his rival, which led to a large internal conflict throughout the show which climaxed at the end of the season. Matt is much more protective and concerned about the group as a whole, causing more conflict when compared to Tai's head-first strategy. He is the holder of the Crest of Friendship.

Arashi Nagase
Arashi is a student of Yazagaku with a taste for punk style, piercings, and alternative music. He usually wears safety pins and an assortment of odd piercings. Miwako reassures Yukari that though Arashi looks intimidating, he is very kind. He is Miwako's boyfriend, they have both known each other for a long period of time. Arashi has a real inferiority complex, specially when compared to Hiroyuki or when it comes to studies. He does not like study and thinks that no one can perceive studies as enjoyable. He often skips classes. He is very jealous and possessive to the point when he even prevented Miwako from seeing Hiroyuki as he thought that she loves Hiroyuki much more. In the manga, it was mentionnned that Arashi had violent reactions and even unintentionnally force Miwako the first time so as to make sure to have Miwako for himself but which revealed to make him feel inferior and guilty. During a talk with Hiroyuki, Arashi is very aware that Miwako had feelings for Hiroyuki and is insecure about his own relationship with Miwako, believing he wasn't making her as happy if she were to be with Hiroyuki. Even though Arashi has a generally cynical and abrasive personality, he cares deeply about those around him. When Caroline left her home and decided to give up studies, he was the only one except Hiroyuki who tries to convince her to not make such rush decisions. He even let her live in his apartment and went back to his mother's house when she ran away. When the members of ParaKiss engage in outrageous behavior, Arashi is usually the voice of reason.

Joji "George" Koizumi
George is an eccentric and charismatic student at Yazagaku fashion school who has extraordinary talent with a gift for fashion design, particularly in haute couture. Despite his cold demeanor, he has extravagant ideas on everything, most of which are not accepted by the general public. He feels that Yukari is a tease, and wants her to become an independent woman that takes responsibility for her own mistakes. His appearance is loosely based on Brian Slade of Velvet Goldmine, and several references to the film are made by him in the manga. He has distinctive blue hair and eyes, making Yukari humorously question if he actually is an alien. The lifestyle that he lives is that of a wealthy young bachelor; he lives in a high-end loft and drives a vintage Jaguar. He is the son of a successful businessman, but because his mother was merely a mistress, he rarely sees his father. His mother often complains that despite his ill will towards his father, he looks and acts just like him.

Hiroyuki Tokumori
Yukari's classmate, an intelligent and handsome prodigy who happens to be the object of Yukari's affections at the beginning of the story. Hiroyuki was once in love with Miwako, but Arashi forbade her from seeing him. He gives advice to Arashi on how to come to terms with his feelings for Miwako and his past actions. Soon after the three of them are seen as friends once more just like when they were children. Hiroyuki is at the top of his class and aspires to become a physician. He eventually falls for Yukari, and foolishly assumed that a girl like her would never show interest in him.

Isabella Yamamoto
Isabella is the mother figure to the members of ParaKiss. This tall Yazagaku student is the epitome of high class and femininity. Isabella inspired George's very first dress during childhood, and often had the habit of taking every piece of clothing that he finished. She encourages Yukari when she needs it the most, whether it be regarding George or her abandoned studies. Notably, Isabella is a transgender woman, and she is mortified when anyone refers to her as 'Daisuke', her birth name.

Mikako Kouda
**The description is copied from Gokinjo Monogatari wikipedia page, which is a separate series in which Mikako is a main character.**
Driven by her dream of becoming a fashion designer and having all the stores sell her handiwork under the brand name "Happy Berry", Mikako is at her most conspicuous when she is inspired or in a stormy mood for one reason or another. The former earns her the admiration of her classmates while the latter incenses her teacher Ms. Hamada who thinks nothing of keeping her after school to revise her clumsy handiwork. Mikako has a ferocious rivalry with Mariko who she fears will wield Tsutomu to his detriment along with unrealistic expectations of Tsutomu that leads to a very vivacious and adversarial divergent concourse that often inflames matters on many occasions.

Miwako Sakurada
A pink-haired student of Yazagaku who works with George to run their own brand, Paradise Kiss. She is the younger sister of the Happy Berry brand's creator/president, Mikako Kouda, who is the protagonist in Ai Yazawa's Gokinjo Monogatari work. She is exceptionally sweet and cute. Miwako tends to act in a rather childlike manner, both in her Lolita style dress and unique vocabulary. Because of her endearing personality, she is adored by many of the characters and is becomes Yukari's closest friend.

Yukari Hayasaka
Yukari is a pretty-faced high school senior that studies dutifully for her university entrance exams, but cannot find meaning in her repetitive life and feels that she has not lived at all. Although she starts with a snobbish attitude towards the fashion design students, she eventually becomes the model for Paradise Kiss after being scouted by Arashi, "kidnapped" by Isabella, and whisked away to Paradise Kiss' lounge-like "atelier". Her intense relationship with George pushes her to mature further, despite the fact that she feels he is manipulative and cold. She is often referred to, inexplicably, as "Caroline" by Miwako. After she meets the ParaKiss crew, she discovers all new depths to her ambitions and personality. She eventually married Hiroyuki after George goes off to Paris. In the Live-Action version, she rejects Hiroyuki and goes to meet George in New York and they get together.

Moeka Kiryuu
Moeka is not a very confident individual; more often than not she doesn't say anything at all to those she's speaking to, instead preferring to send phone messages filled with emoticons, which constrasts with her aloof exterior and startles Okabe at first. She isn't interested in communicating, her very reason for joining the lab was gaining information. She can be very stubborn about finding out details about IBN 5100, even annoying Rintarou at some points. Despite her introduction and behavior at first, when the story takes a serious turn Moeka is revealed as someone who can be rather ruthless and cold-blooded towards people if they stand in the way of her goal. Despite that, Okabe notices her flinching and looking away at certain moments, suggesting that she does have some regret over her actions and isn't quite as heartless as she would like to seem.

Nae Tennouji
A very timid and reserved girl, Nae likes to keep out of Okabe's way, as his Hououin Kyouma persona frightens her. She is good friends with Mayuri and Suzuha though and thinks of them as her older sisters, often exchanging a friendly "Tutturu" with Mayuri, and hanging around with Suzuha when she is working in the CRT TV store. She loves her father very much and often feels like she's imposing on him, even going so far as to learn cookery from Mayuri and Kurisu for his sake.

Rintarou Okabe
Rintorou is a melodramatic, eccentric individual. He is a self-proclaimed mad scientist, who likes to assume the nickname "Kyouma Hououin" and often uses this to introduce himself to others. For the most part, people address him by his actual name or by 'Okarin' (his nickname), much to his chagrin. He also likes to pose as an agent working against a certain "Organization" which he thinks is always after him, as he believes this kind of image gives him a cool and mysterious aura. He usually gives off the impression of being delusional and paranoid, engaging in strange mannerisms such as talking to himself on the phone and engaging in fits of manaical laughter often, this is in fact a facade he wears in order to make life interesting for his dear childhood friend Mayuri. Initially, he is portrayed as being rather arrogant, however, it is later suggested that this is due to Rintorou's eccentricities and social awkwardness. Despite the aforementioned traits, he is actually a kind and caring individual. This is particularly evident towards the end of the anime and the visual novel, where he casts aside his perculiar facade, to save his friends from the seemingly unavoidable fate.

Ruka Urushibara
Second year in Kasensou Private Prepatory Academy. Mayuri's classmate. Has the personality of a polite, well-groomed and justified kind of beautiful girl (though a guy). Uses honorifics specifically with Rintarou. Doesn't push his opinions much upon others, but when he does he's quite bashful and blushes quite a bit. Because he's quite serious by nature, he simply believes what others say. Thanks to that, he thinks all the ridiculous stuff Rintarou talks about is that of reality. Rintarou makes him out to be his student on his own, and is currently in the middle of brainwashing him. A very shy person, he often turns down Mayuri's requests to cosplay.

Suzuha Amane
A girl that really likes riding bicycles, and is quite energetic and intelligent, though a little crude. If you stick around her, she's surprisingly cautious and very helpful. A little too familiar with things, but doesn't dig too deep. She isn't quite comfortable with having other people help her. Her personality drastically changes when it comes to her own interests. She becomes more proactive and has a habit of using strange and difficult vocabulary at times.

Rumiho Akiha / Feiris Nyan Nyan
Second year in Kanaria Private Academy. Feyris is someone who works part-time at a maid cafe called "MayQueen+Nyan2". Mayuri works with her. She's quite child-like. Acts like a childish devil towards men. Also adds embarrassing "meows" to her speech. Has an ability to see into people's hearts just by looking into their eyes (which she calls the "Cheshire Break"). Respects her father a lot, as well as having a father complex. A long time friend of Okabe, she likes to play along with his delusions and comes up with scenarios herself.

Itaru Hashida
First year student in Tokyo Denki University. Pro-active otaku, he supposedly has an obsession with both 2D and 3D girls.. Talks quite a lot, and uses @ch (a spinoff of 2ch) terminology. Plenty of statements he makes could be taken as sexual harassment and is generally known to be a pervert. He and Rintarou have known each other since high school. Usually turns down Rintarou's ridiculous requests as "annoying", but in truth gets them done in proper order. However, he trusts Rintarou as a friend. Has great confidence in his programming and hacking abilities (he doesn't mind being called a Super Hacker, but doesn't like it when people call him Super Haker). He's always in front of the computer.

Kurisu Makise
The female protagonist. 18 years old, skipped a grade and is in university. Also famous in America for writing thesis papers, part of which is covered in the news. Thanks to skipping a grade in America as a girl, she was envied by people around her, and ended up building a strong personality. Kurisu doesn't want to show weakness to others, so she always has a stern expression. However, she is very curious, and when she builds interest she pokes into things. Unlike people of her age, Kurisu has shown a more mature attitude, usually calm and collected even when someone is acting tense in front of her. However, she can also show a much more timid side at times. She has been described as a tsundere by Rintaro Okabe time and again. She has proven to be greatly annoyed by Okabe's paranoiac tendencies, and flustered because of him in certain situations. Though she's hesitant to admit it, she's a frequent user of the text board @Channel, donning the identity "KuriGohan and Kamehameha". Rintarou likes to trick her into admitting this habit, much to her chagrin. When posting on @channel her personality is noticeably different, as she often uses Netspeak or emoticons to communicate and her posts generally much less mature than her usual dialogue.

Mayuri Shiina
She possesses a somewhat childish attitude for someone of her age, and is a bit of an airhead. Mayuri likes to give cute nicknames to familiar people like Rintarou (Okarin) and refers to herself as Mayushii. Despite acting younger than what she looks like, she is also responsible for Rintarou's well-being, usually tending to his needs most of the time. Speaks in a very wavy manner, seems to always be smiling and having fun and is generally quite the optimist. Doesn't like when people argue, and gets upset when things are unpleasant. She's also very attentive to detail, often noticing things about people that others would miss. She is the only one to figure out one of the most important things in the series.

Yuugo Tennouji
He has a great passion for CRT Television and refuses to upgrade to any other type. This coupled with the fact he owns a CRT store has resulted in Okabe nicknaming him "Mr. Braun" after the more common Japanese name for CRT, "Braun Tubes". While appearing as a tough and menacing man and often using this demeanour to jokingly bully Okabe, he actually has a soft spot for the lab members. His daughter Nae is his top priority and he will go to desperate lengths to ensure her safety.

Enjoy.

Name: Vanja

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality:
My personality can seem contradictory or random to others, as I can act quite differently depending on the situation and who I'm around. I'm cynical, but still have some idealism in the sense that I'm passionate about the causes I care about and still get disappointed when people seem to be going backwards. I enjoy helping friends, but I can't stand most people. I'm nihilistic objectively, but I do care about things on a more personal level. I've been called easy-going + intense, reckless + planned, among other things. Sometimes one part of these will appear more prominent than the other part, but then it'll eventually swing back.

I can be too outspoken, argumentative, and blunt. While I can plan things out ~~usually... well, if they're important actions, at least~~, I need better control over my mouth. I have a tendency to open it no matter who it is-- I've gotten into arguments with teachers, managers, etc... I do have a filter over it to an extent, but this has created problems in the past.

You could call me "self-made," for lack of a better term. Much of what I know, I had to learn on my own. I've had to dig myself out of an area that seemed to have a "Abandon hope, all ye born here... unless you're one of the few sons/daughters of factory owners!" motto, and it has severely impacted my overall mentality and perspectives.

If you want my MBTI, I almost always get INTJ. (percentages) I'm not the quietest introvert and do make choices based on emotions at times, but the general description when all are applied as a whole fits quite well. The main aspect I'd say doesn't fit is the bit about not being able to support others, although I do tend to offer solutions rather than just hug them. All of the other negatives? Spot on, sadly... (Always wanting to improve things, assuming I'm right... Note to self: Don't be such an ass.)

There's also this popular quiz used on these, which does fit very well, particularly the part I highlighted. If you need any more of these ~~because I clearly don't ramble enough~~, I tend to get 5 - "The Investigator" (with 3 or 8 close behind) for Enneagrams, Chaotic Neutral (it's always pretty far in the Chaotic spectrum while the morality is often mixed, which fits CN well anyway, heh, especially since I do just tend to whatever I feel will be best or most amusing for a situation and don't believe in good or evil), and am a Scorpio who does tend to get either it (for being secretive, passionate inside, resentful, with a tendency to see through lies) or Aquarius (freedom-loving / questions authority, can be seen as detached, unpredictable, and hates loneliness) when it comes to personality.

Positive traits:
Analytical, independent, calm-minded (read: despite anything else, I at least think rationally), clever, open-minded, curious, "humorous"... but that can also be a negative *points below*
Negative traits:
Hopelessly self-critical, secretive (in the sense that I don't like to talk about my personal life - though I will talk about other things easily enough - and I tend to do/plan things without telling others), devious, obstinate, overly-curious, sarcastic/mocking/mixed with a dark sense of humor in general, rather bitter... at least if you catch me on a bad day.
Please list some of your dislikes:
More than anything? Bigots, gender generalizations, people who complain but don't do anything to change whatever they're whining about, and the feeling of failure. Other dislikes include people who keep me up until 4 in the morning when I have to get up at 7, anything with the words "Hallmark" or "Lifetime" attached to it, and privileged people who think they're the most amazing people in the universe when they've never had to do anything for themselves in their lives.
What is the first impression that you give others?:
It really depends. Some assume I'm nice and helpful while others assume I'm a terrible demon. ~~I like to think that neither are really true~~ As much as I hate to admit it, I sometimes come off as intimidating and "intense," but then again, other people who I've only talked to for a brief bit have called me down-to-earth and laid-back, so it definitely varies.
How are you described by those who know you?:
Most people, after they know me, say something along the lines of "intelligent, snarky, and abrasive."

+ When I did Johari/Nohari windows recently the most commonly picked traits were independent, self-assertive, witty, logical, intelligent, trustworthy, cynical, chaotic, callous, blasé, overdramatic, and hostile.

*Though I was told people wanted adjectives which weren't there, like that blasé meant that I get bored easily and overdramatic because of the self-criticalness causing me to think the world is ending if I mess something up... but there are better words that weren't options for all that.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: I have ideals, but I know what's realistic.
Cautious or Impulsive: I plan things out if they're important and I tend to think things through in general, but I can still act impulsive if I just don't care regardless. Often in day-to-day actions, I'll consider all the possibilities, but still do something reckless when it comes to the short term.
Calm or Hyper: Depends on the amount of coffee I've had? I normally act more energetic than I feel, though.
Trusting or Cynical: Cynical.
Leader or Follower: True to my MBTI stereotype, a background leader. I'm too opinionated and outspoken to be a complete follower, but I prefer to advise rather than outright lead. I will take up a leader position if no one else is willing to and/or the only people who want to are incompetent, though.
Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted.
Independent or Dependent: Independent.
Persistent or Laid-Back: Persistent, provided I care enough about something. Otherwise, laid-back. I don't really consider these opposites anyway, so~
Confident or Modest: Confident when I know I'm good at something, modest about everything else.

【 Add something here 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
There's actually... quite a bit. Despite being calm on the surface (again, normally), I wish I actually were also calm underneath that.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can?
I enjoy certain types of conflict, but loathe others. I'm competitive and love a good debate, for instance, but I hate senseless drama or petty fights.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react?
Probably say something like "hey, I guess you didn't notice, but the end of the line is back there." If they persist on staying there for whatever reason, I wouldn't force the issue, but I can't imagine not saying something.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself?
Honestly? Probably a mixture. I would be doing it partially for the world, as I want to see that place changed, but that also implies I'm doing it for myself, as there's always plenty of people who want to see the world go in different directions and I'm selfishly pushing it towards the one I want in that situation.

'Sides, I'm sure the benefits from it - at least in the saving one - would be great and all-too-tempting...
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role?
I like both offensive and supportive. I rarely ever care about defense.
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway?
Maybe. I like a challenge, but I'm not really the type to start a physical fight for it. I think it would depend on how much the enemy annoys me.

Name: Amber ♥

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: I'm a mix of Spontaneous Idealist and INFP.
Spontaneous Idealists are creative, lively and open-minded persons. They are humorous and dispose of a contagious zest for life. Their enthusiasm and sparkling energy inspires others and sweeps them along. They enjoy being together with other people and often have an uncanny intuition for their motivations and potential. Spontaneous Idealists are masters of communication and very amusing and gifted entertainers. Fun and variety are guaranteed when they are around. However, they are sometimes somewhat too impulsive in dealing with others and can hurt people without really meaning to do so, due to their direct and sometimes critical nature.
INFPs are introspective, private, creative and highly idealistic individuals that have a constant desire to be on a meaningful path. They are driven by their values and seek peace. Empathetic and compassionate, they want to help others and humanity as a whole. INFPs are imaginative, artistic and often have a talent for language and writing. They can also be described as easygoing, selfless, guarded, adaptable, patient and loyal.
I also took this test and I got the Neutral Good alignment which I think fits pretty well... And I also got Regal Soul on a Daemon test, which makes some sense but it's not totally accurate at some points. I'll copy and paste what I think is accurate: You love to be around people. Without them, you would wilt and fade away. Too much time alone leave you feeling listless and sad, but a good night out with your buddies puts the spring back into your step. You make friends easily, because you know how to adjust your behaviour for each person. With a rowdy, loud, social type of person you can be rowdy, and loud, and social. With a timid and mousy person you can be quiet and sensitive. While you have many friends and many faces, you have an inner circle of friends and family with whom you can truly be yourself.
Maybe that helps some? :)

Positive traits: I'm very aware of people's feelings and such. I'm fiercely loyal to those I love. I'm not a nosy person and I don't push something when it's obvious someone doesn't want to talk, part of that being because I read people pretty well. I'm always trying to look on the bright side of situations, even when others find them to be completly hopeless. I'm pretty funny at certain times, too. It's only once in a while that I act funny, but when I do it's hilarious! (Hahaha, at least I'd like to think I'm pretty funny...)
Negative traits: I do not like to work. At all. Sometimes I can get fairly bossy, and it annoys a bunch of my family members all the time. I can get annoyed pretty easily. Just a little slip can set me off, even if it's meant to be just a joke. I can also be blunt. Like really blunt. But I try to not hurt people when the subject's sensitive... But my biggest problem is how I always have to have approval from other people. Just a little criticism, even constructive criticism, can ruin my entire day... But I'm putting effort into changing that trait :)
Please list some of your dislikes: I hate having the door to my room open when I'm in it. And you know the numbers that you see whenever you turn up the volume? I can't stand it when that number's odd. ~~I swear this question always makes me sound OCD...~~ And I dislike humorless people and backstabbers too.
What is the first impression that you give others?: Well... Usually I get "nice." I don't really give off too strong of an impression until much later :)
How are you described by those who know you?: Someone once said I'm "under appreciated" by my friends and that I somewhat have a guilty conscious. In other words I always think I did something wrong. The same person has also said that I'm a firey personality and that I worry too much about what people think.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Optimistic. Yes. I've annoyed people with my optimism XD; But even then I have my pessimistic moments.. Really though. Who doesn't?
Cautious or Impulsive: I'm much more impulsive really. It's uh... It's gotten me into a lot of trouble before XD; I don't really think before saying something... I just say it D; But in more sensitive situations I do tend to watch my mouth a bit.
Calm or Hyper: I'm more... Energetic. I wouldn't say that I'm exactly hyper, ya know? Overall though it really just depends on how I feel. I know that there are certain instances where you need to be more calm anyway :)
Trusting or Cynical: Trusting. Unless you've wronged me in some way I don't see any reason to be cynical towards you *shrug*
Leader or Follower: I'm the type that could both lead and follow. I really don't mind it when someone else is in charge but if there's no one who's willing to step up I'm more than willing to take the lead :)
Introverted or Extroverted: A mix of both, honestly... It's one of those things where it really just depends on my mood, ya know?
Independent or Dependent: Dependent, but I really wish I wasn't. I should also mention that I'm especially dependent on one certain person...
Persistent or Laid-Back: I'm much more laid-back! And it's yet another thing that gets me into plenty of trouble D;
Confident or Modest: It... Depends. I'm actually somewhat proud of my looks (that sounds bad, I know) but there are plenty of my traits that I'm not proud of.

【 Add something here 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My need for everyone's approval... It's a trait that I've had forever and it's a trait I've hated forever. But like I said... I've been trying to work on changing that :)
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? I seek to never start it to begin with! XD I really don't like conflict so if I can stop it, I'll do it as soon as possible.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? Well I'm sure to tell them to get the hell out of line in some way. If I'm already in a bad mood then I'll probably be more aggressive to him, but on a good day I'll do the exhasparated "clear my throat and tap my foot" thing.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? I think it'd be just for the sake of helping others. I'd be saving it for others, but probably more to save people who were particularly important to me :)
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? I think I'd be like a mix of supportive and defensive since I'm not exactly the strongest physically XD
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Nope. I'm for sure out of there... Unless I'm mad. Then maybe I'll fight it :p

Sakamichi no Apollon Theme

2012-08-31T01:11:21Z

Name: Breyzy

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: ~~Gah, I hate having to describe it! O_O;~~ Let's see: I'm very determined and stubborn. Once I set my mind to a goal, I don't stop until I finish it. I like helping people out for the most part, but I don't like feeling like I'm being taken advantage of. I'm also very independent, which I think can be both a good and a bad thing since it means I don't rely on others, even if I might need to. I'm told I'm funny, but my humor falls more in the "sarcastic" category so I'm sure there are others who disagree. I can get jealous easily and I don't trust people very readily. Even the people I'm closest to I don't trust fully. It takes a lot to get me mad, but once I've reached a "boiling point" I tend to get REALLY angry and I find it really hard to forgive someone who has made me mad. I also have this tendency to keep my inner thoughts and feelings inside without voicing them.

I took this test recently and got Chaotic Good as my Alignment, which I've gotten before on other tests and it seems fairly accurate! Horoscope-wise, I'm a Libra but I'm not entirely sure how relevant that is to my personality (parts of it *really* don't fit, but I thought I'd mention it in case for some reason you do find it helpful for voting O_O;). ♥

When I took the Enneagram Test, I got Type 8: The Challenger...which, for the most part, is a pretty good fit for me! Just some info from that link: Type 8 is known as the Powerful, Dominating Type: Self-Confident, Decisive, Willful, and Confrontational. Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their Best: self- mastering, they use their strength to improve others' lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring. Their Basic Fear is of being harmed or controlled by others and their Basic Desire is to protect themselves (to be in control of their own life and destiny). The Challengers want to be self-reliant, to prove their strength and resist weakness, to be important in their world, to dominate the environment, and to stay in control of their situation. ...Uh, pretty much most of what that link says is pretty accurate though. XD

...And, I just recently took this test, which was also pretty accurate to a degree if you need more of those types of things, lolz:
You are a family oriented person, and you are a good friend. You are selective about who you call "friend", however - not every acquaintance makes the cut. You like to spend regular time with the people whom you are close to, but you need time to yourself, too. If you are left too long without seeing your friends and family, you wilt, and if you see too MUCH of them, you become tired and irritable.

You are a sensitive and caring person, and you are very considerate of your friends' feelings. You are easily hurt, however, and people often hurt you accidentally with off-hand comments. You dislike confrontation, and your friends often do not realize that they have accidentally hurt you. You keep your emotions bottled up, rarely showing anger, or sadness. You don't want people to know how very sensitive you are, so you hide it under a tough, calm exterior.

Positive traits: Determined/Hard-Working, curious, independent, helpful/loyal (to those I can respect and/or care for, at any rate), humorous ~~...well, depends on who you talk to~~. O_O;
Negative traits: Untrusting, jealous, unforgiving, indecisive, independent (I consider this both a positive and negative trait of mine. It's positive in that I can handle things on my own and I look out for myself...it's negative because I feel like relying on others is a weakness, even in cases when it's obvious I need to {like when I'm stressed out for taking too much on myself}. I won't ask for help even when I need it because I rely too much on myself and not enough on others. I'm working on that too though).
Please list some of your dislikes: Mean/rude people, when people get into my personal space (I HAVE A PERSONAL SPACE BUBBLE, I DO!), and when people always make assumptions about things without actually knowing anything about them.
What is the first impression that you give others?: I've been told that I'm kind of intimidating from a first impression perspective as I'm not the warmest person when I'm first meeting someone...one of my friends actually once told me that I'm an example of why it isn't good to judge someone based off of a first impression ~~and I'm still not sure if that was a compliment or not, hehe~~. O_O; Once I get more comfortable with someone that impression goes away pretty fast though.
How are you described by those who know you?: Let's see..."persistent, humorous, dependable, friendly, hard-working, intelligent, loyal." ~~...LIARS.~~ I tend to be told that I'm funny and generally nice once people get to know me more.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Realistic, I would say. I don't think the world is made of puppies and rainbows, but I don't think it is out to get you either. Everything is just...what it is to me.
Cautious or Impulsive: It depends on what I might want. I am way more likely to be impulsive and jump into something without thinking *if* I'm already excited about it, but if it isn't something that I'm all that interested in I take a few more moments and try to approach it cautiously.
Calm or Hyper: Haha, I'm about to not be very helpful, but it honestly depends on the situation! If I'm at work or doing something that really requires my focus, then I'm extremely calm...but, if it is something I'm excited about, I can get pretty hyper (also, it depends on my caffeine intake! O_O;).
Trusting or Cynical: Very cynical. I'm really bad at trusting others, unfortunately. :/
Leader or Follower: I prefer to follow, honestly...but, I usually get stuck with leadership positions. Still, I'd rather lead than follow if no one else is going to! I have to really respect someone if they're going to try and lead me, lolz. If I think an individual besides myself can handle the leadership job well, I'm all for offering my support instead.
Introverted or Extroverted: I'm shy for about ten minutes when I'm first meeting someone, but I can't stay that way for long! I find silence really uncomfortable and unnerving, so I will always try to start conversations to fill the void, hehe. :D I'm sort of more reserved when it comes to "deep" things, like inner-thoughts/feelings. I tend to keep those to myself unless I feel really comfortable with the person I'm talking to. So...extroverted about superficial stuff? XD
Independent or Dependent: Independent for the most part. I don't like having to rely on others.
Persistent or Laid-Back: In general, I'm persistent! If I want something, I don't really stop until I accomplish that goal. ...However, if it is something I'm maybe not 100%-invested in, I can be pretty laid-back regarding it. I'll still work for it, but I probably won't put as much effort into it overall.
Confident or Modest: Outwardly confident, inwardly horribly insecure/doubtful. Despite how I may appear really driven and confident on the outside, most of the time on the inside I am full of doubts and fear. Like I've mentioned before, I just don't like vocalizing that kind of stuff unless I'm around someone I can really trust.

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My inability to ask others for help. I feel like relying on others is a weakness, even in cases when it's obvious I need to (like when I'm stressed out for taking too much on myself). I'm really *trying* to work on that though!
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? Depends on the conflict and my thoughts on it (or even my emotional investment in it). I actually like a fun challenge, so if I think of something as just a good-natured debate I'll actually find it kind of entertaining: I like seeing other people's POVs even if I don't agree with them, so as long as they're respectful of my opinions I'm willing to hear them out too. I like debating about stuff and I'll talk your ears off if you let me! But conflict that's just started intentionally to belittle others actually really annoys me and I'll try to end it as quickly as possible! You can always tell when I'm *really* mad in a conflict because I just won't talk...AT ALL, lolz. That's actually really abnormal for me in conflicts, so it is kind of my sign that I just want it to end.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? Haha, I've actually done that whole "Oh, no...you didn't!" thing in situations like this before (gah, that's embarrassing to admit! O_O;). I definitely say something or let it be known by my body language that I'm annoyed, but if they don't move I'm not going to start a big fight over it. Yeah, stuff like that is annoying, but I'll survive having to wait another couple minutes. XD
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? Hnn...maybe a little bit all of the above? I'm a part of the world, so if I help out I'm kind of helping myself in a roundabout way anyways. If there was something I could actually do, I'd do it because...well, I wouldn't be able to think of a valid reason not to, if that makes sense!
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Offensive, probably! I could see myself coming up with some awesome defensive or supportive strategy and then just abandon it about 10 seconds into a fight because my "ZOMG, I'M IN A FIGHT!" instincts take over. I'm just not patient enough sometimes, lolz. XD
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Uh, no...not unless I'd have a good reason to (like if they were blocking my only way out of a tunnel or something).

Ao no Exorcist Theme

2012-08-30T21:50:38Z

Name:

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality:
I took some tests and got…Quiet Loner Soul, Lawful Neutral and ISTP. If I had to sort myself into a stereotype, I would pick Dandere although —to be more accurate— with “shy” being replaced by reserved, and “cute and sweet” by cheerful.

For the most part, I have a quite passive and quiet personality; I usually don’t take the initiative unless I’m pressured by myself or have one of my impulsive moments. I’m not a doormat, though, and very well able to say no; if I don’t want to do something, I can be very persistent. Often, many things go through my head but I end up saying and doing nothing because I’m not really great at talking and translating thoughts into words or I mumble them over too long and miss the chance. Although I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve, I don’t think I am hard to read. If you look closely. It’s just that sometimes my expression doesn’t match what I’m actually thinking/feeling at the moment – when I’m enthusiastic, for example, I possibly still wear my default expression which, according to some people, resembles a sad/serious one and because of that I’m sometimes mistaken as bored and totally uninterested. Talk about giving off wrong impressions. |D

In public settings and around mere acquaintances, I tend to be soft-spoken, private, reserved and curt. I usually don’t go out actively seeking conversation but I try to be nice whenever someone talks to me. Among people I have known for years and around friends I’m playful, silly, louder, more animated in general but also a little bossy and less cautious with my words/actions (= I tend to be more blunt and harsher around them). Still, I keep many things to myself and don’t always disclose my true opinion on matters if I think it could offend someone/doesn’t concern you at all…but in contrast, I’m very honest about other matters. I bottle things up, shrugh stupid remarks off or ignore them while in reality I’m offended or angry, but in more private settings it’s likelier that I snap and become extremely emotional/temperamental. And I can be very unforgiving but it’s not like I’ll let you know “Hey, every time we meet I’ll think of that stupid remark you made about me and I’ll never ever forget about it.”

Hm, what else? I rarely break rules. I’m a follow-the-book person…yeah.

Positive traits: I have a sense of humour. I can be somewhat cheerful and teasing when I’m among certain people. I’m conscientious and responsible when I’m interested in something. I can be very persistent despite my usual passive attitude and I can resist peer pressure. Does that count? |D I have a sense of justice and I try to treat everyone fairly. I’m more empathetic than I would like to think but– I rarely show it.

Negative traits: I’m overly untalkative and ~~a bit~~ socially awkward, thus coming across as either shy or unfriendly. I don’t smile if I don’t feel like it, I get nervous during public speaking, most of the time I have no idea what to talk about with strangers etc. Things like that. But I’m trying to improve. I’m insecure and self-conscious in many situations and I’m easily discouraged by failure. I take almost every glare and off-hand joke personally + hold grudges for a long time which is a great combination. I’m irritable and have quite a temper that sometimes shows. Other negative traits are: being partly avoidant, hesitant, indecisive, paranoid, and worrying a lot about worst-case scenarios.

Please list some of your dislikes: ~~And what about my likes?~~ Gender roles, stereotypes, discos, failure, sappy quotes and conversations, being ignorant, being pressured into doing something, being contradicted, being yelled at because it either makes me want to bawl or to punch them, when people talk about me, when people tell me to calm down aksjhjkd;…

What is the first impression that you give others?: Probably that I’m serious and grumpy as complete strangers have told me before to “smile”. :))) /rage I’m pretty sure I come off as unfriendly, not sociable, shy and boring, too, on a first impression basis.

How are you described by those who know you?: I asked some people before and they described me as…quiet, calm, shy, honest (“You aren’t sly and sneaky like other people.”), distrustful, easily offended and having a temper.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: A mix? I honestly don’t know anymore. Generally, I try to view things realistically but depending my mood I can lean towards optimistic or pessimistic. I also possess some idealistic views but I don’t exactly do anything about them.
Cautious or Impulsive: Cautious. I usually don’t jump into things head first unless I’m overwhelmed and can’t think straight. And even if I think before acting, the result is not always well thought-out.
Calm or Hyper: Calm. I can be somewhat hyper when I’m acting silly but not overly so.
Trusting or Cynical: In-between? I’m not so much “cynical” as “mistrustful and paranoid”.
Leader or Follower: Follower. I normally end up as one if I’m thrown into a group and I can’t see myself in a leader position. I prefer to work alone, though, because– less responsibility and stress.
Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted.
Independent or Dependent: A mix. I’m both in different areas but I really dislike it when I ask for help and depend on somebody.
Persistent or Laid-Back: Neither. I’m only persistent if I strongly object and I worry too much to be called laid-back. That being said, I don’t consider these to be opposites?
Confident or Modest: Neither. I am too insecure to be called confident but I’m not modest as I have caught myself feeling secretly superior before.

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Well, there is more than one thing that I want to change |D…above all, I want to be more eloquent/better at expressing myself verbally + more confident overall. Also, the fact that I’m sometimes easily irritated because it makes me susceptible to being…belittled by others in a “Wow, now you are angry, I’m so scared~” kind of way.

Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can?
Who enjoys conflict?! I certainly don’t and seek to end it as soon as I can but, depending on whom I have a conflict with, I would not be very nice or apologetic about ending it.

Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react?
Hm, I always make sure that this doesn’t happen |D but if it did, I would probably not react at all. Maybe give them a glare while I’m being angry inside but that’s about it. Unless I’m having an impulsive moment…then I would address them without thinking about it.

Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself?
I know it says “imagine” but I really can’t imagine having a motivation/goal big enough that would either lead me to fight for the sake of the world or to put an end to it. I would probably felt like helping out if I had nothing better to do or if I was bored with my daily life and have some fun before the world (supposedly) ends!

Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role?
Defensive/supportive ~~because I’m a coward~~ and mostly remain in the background…but I don’t like being completely helpless so having some sort of attacks would be nice.

You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway?
For that single reason, no. Why waste my strength fighting if the most I got out of it would only be recognition from other people.

【 Optional 】
Are there any characters you would prefer not to be voted as? Amaimon because all I saw in the manga is a violent child who just wants to fight? Which is apparently not the impression most people got…but if you really see him, you can vote for him. |D

Studio Ghibli Characters

2012-08-30T19:23:49Z

Name: Mysti

【 About Yourself... 】
The way I interact with people online isn't the same way I interact with people IRL: IRL, I prefer small groups. I don't like being around groups bigger than, say, eight or nine people. I can communicate and talk and all, I just drain very fast when I'm forced to interact with large groups. It's worse if I'm out with people I don't know that well, because most people I meet IRL just don't share my interests and it makes it really difficult for me to find common ground with them. Online, however - well, if I'm talking to you online, we most probably met through some kind of shared interest (like FF!), so I'm probably more inclined to be open and friendly and chatty. I'm also pretty obvious about my emotions most of the time.

Other things - I'd consider myself intelligent and intellectual (they're not the same to me); I enjoy learning things and solving puzzles. I need to feel like I'm thinking because I hate the feeling of rotting away mentally, so I'm happiest when I have puzzles to solve and things to learn. I usually pick things up pretty quickly, too, which helps, I guess. I consider myself compassionate and I try to see a situation from different perspectives in order to be as fair as possible. Being fair is pretty important to me, and I tend to be firm about my beliefs, so I try to stay close to them. I don't always succeed, but hey, I can try. I can also be pretty perfectionistic when things are important to me; when they're not, I'm a great deal more slipshod. I also react very badly to guilt-trips: I can be very critical of myself and I'm probably good enough at guilting myself without someone adding to it.

When I'm more comfortable I tend to fall into a more relaxed, snarky (and yes, gutter jokes abound in this mode) attitude. I don't generally like hurting others, but dislike is not the same as won't. I can, and more to the point, I will if I think it's necessary, although if I have to I'll try to make it quick and clean. Unless I'm that upset, which... I don't usually get. I'm protective of friends and family even if I have disagreements with them sometimes - as I said, I don't generally like hurting others, and I like seeing people I care about get hurt even less. I'd frankly be a lot happier solving arguments peacefully, as a rule, though.

Other than that... I can be impatient with people - usually it occurs when I think people are not willing to learn, which drives me up the wall. I tend to assume I'm the weakest link in any party right up until I get confident in my abilities, which can be a bit of an issue because, as I said, I'm a perfectionist. I'm also ridiculously stubborn and opinionated; I need to voice my opinion and have it heard. (I'd make a terrible nameless flunky. I snark too much.)

Positive Traits: intelligent, compassionate, witty, determined, loyal, creative
Negative Traits: snarky, stubborn, over-emotional, temperamental, procrastinator, sarcastic

To clarify: I'm actually usually calm, but when something gets me upset (as opposed to annoyed), I fly straight off the handle. It takes a bit to get me upset, basically, but once I do I usually react rather irrationally.
Please list some of your dislikes: I don't like people guilt-tripping me, and I don't like wanton cruelty.
What is the first impression that you give others?: Apparently I am "warm and inviting, like a cosy blanket."
How are you described by those who know you?: Asked a couple of friends. "Erudite, compassionate and supportive."

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Optimistic/idealistic, can be realistic, definitely not a pessimist. I prefer to hope for the best.
Cautious or Impulsive: Cautious.
Calm or Hyper: Calm.
Trusting or Cynical: I lean towards the trusting side.
Leader or Follower: Second-in-command.
Introverted or Extroverted: Reserved.
Independent or Dependent: Depends on the situation...?
Persistent or Laid-Back: Persistent when it calls for it, go with the flow otherwise.
Confident or Modest: I don't really see these as opposites... but, all right. I'm confident of my self-worth, and once I'm certain of something I'm certain, but it takes me a long time to get to that point? If that makes sense.

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? ...probably my indecision and my tendency to second-guess myself.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? I don't like conflict. Actually, I'd rather it not start in the first place, so when it happens I want to end it quickly with the best possible results for everyone.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? Honestly, it depends on my mood. I am going to be far snippier if I'm already in a bad mood, but other than that I'd probably shrug and deal with it.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? If you're going to fight to save the world, I... really hope it's for the sake of the world, myself. I know I'd be feeling the pressure, so it might as well be. (Admittedly it would be largely for that part of the world that I really care about. You don't hurt my friends or family. D: )
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? ...my ideal job class across various tabletop and video games is actually capable of doing all three, but leans towards defensive/supportive. I just like the ability to boom things when I want to, as well.
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Only if it's a threat.

Kuroshitsuji theme

2012-08-30T17:24:06Z

Name: Yingyu

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality:
It's a bit awkward to describe myself, but here goes. I feel like I had changed over the years. I'm usually quiet when I meet new people, but that's not because I'm shy. I prefer to observe a person first. I guess you can say I am unfriendly when I first meet someone. Once I open up, I'm a easy-going, sarcastic, clumsy, a bit oblivious and talkative person.

I definitely have a weird sense of humor and what I like aren't always mainstream. Teasing people is also fun, haha. I'm also imaginative, creative and stubborn. I'm pretty straight-forward and blunt, but I try my best to not hurt other people's feeling with my words. I'm pretty open, you can pretty much talk to me about any topics.

I tend to do self-reflection at times and think about what I did/say and look for ways to improve on. I can be hard on myself at times, but strangely, I can't be hard on others. Also, I hate being fake in front of others, as well as depending on others. I prefer doing things on my own than troubling others. And once I'm determined to do something, I will see though the end of it. Needless to say I also devote time into things I like.

Oh and some of these personality stuffs: Scorpio, INFP or INTP, The Harmony-seeking Idealist , Chaotic Good, Calm thoughtful soul

Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? Gets irritated, but do nothing. I don't want to cause an commotion, and I'm pretty used to it since it's common in Singapore.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? Just because I felt like helping out or for a specific desire.
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Offensive or supportive. Defensive is not my style.

Name: Roax

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: Describing myself always makes me feel uncomfortable but...
Well, as far as personality types go I am an INTJ, a mix of The Analytical & The Independent Thinker, Type 1, and a Scorpio. While my sign fits me very well, I also find Capricorn rather fitting. My alignment would be True Neutral. I also got Quiet Loner Soul in Daemon Test but I can't exactly agree as I find it a little too passive for me. However I think Distant Loner Soul is almost spot on, though I'm not as insensitive or arrogant as the descriptions makes it to be.

As the types above imply, I am someone very distant, secretive, serious and introverted. I am a loner who is rather quiet. Quiet in a way that I don't like to speak unless I feel it's needed as I don't like useless talk. I also have strong opinions that I am not afraid to voice but I won't force them on you either. I am rather anti-social and I keep to myself most of the time but i'm not withdraw. I am quite cynical and untrusting, I tend to doubt people's intentions probably a bit more than needed. I also have a cold outlook on a lot of things which makes people describe me as such but despite that, I still have a strong sense of justice. As for myself, I think my views are simply very rational and I am not someone too emotional, I am someone who follows her brains instead of heart.

I'm also pretty critical, logical, practical. I am someone who is quite collected and calm most of the time but a few of my friends noticed my 'berserk button', which isn't probably as "berserk" as it was a few years ago when the joke came up but I still have a temper. It's easy to annoy me and it's hard to make me very angry (unless you really annoy me by default) but once you do... Even though, i am not reckless nor impulsive. I am very cautious about most of the things. I am bad with words when it comes to certain matters, especially feelings, so i often tend to say harsh things and unfortunately it's not on impulse. That is probably what makes me good in arguments, to the point when some could call me manipulative but I only act in such manner when I feel someone deserves it. (Which probably makes me sound like an ass).

I am rather apathetic towards most things but if I feel strongly about something, I become rather passionate. I don't get too attached to people most of the time but if i really start caring about someone, they become very important to me and I'd always put them before myself, even if I act the opposite. In fact, I am very bad at showing positive emotions and I had someone tell me it's hard to say what I am thinking and whether my intentions are good or not. I am generally very secretive and hate sharing anything personal.

Positive traits: Independent, strong-willed, understanding, logical, thoughtful, cunning, rather determined (but not over anything and everything), patient, rational, realistic, collected, mature, curious, observant, snarky, loyal only to those that have earned my trust.
Negative traits: Analytical, introverted, mischievous, perfectionist, private, sarcastic, smartass when annoyed, cautious, proud, very irritable, critical, stubborn, sometimes moody, short-tempered, anti-social, calm with a berserk button. Recently I have been told I sometimes can get too strict when people are not disciplined.
Please list some of your dislikes: Most of all I dislike overly selfish, stupid, idiotic, fake, ignorant, shallow, annoying, clingy, way too talkative people. Well, pretty much all the nonsense people can come up with. I do consider myself rather, or at least somewhat understanding but things like that drive me mad. I also tend get very easily irritated when someone is far too impulsive and doesn't think before doing pretty much everything. I also dislike insects quite a lot, disgusting food, unfairness, when you push me into doing something I don't want to do, talk down on me, attack me for no reason etc. I surely dislike a lot of things otl.
What is the first impression that you give others?: A lot of people think I act way too indifferent/apathetic, to the point where I might simply ignore them and don't feel bad about it. Intimidating.
How are you described by those who know you?: Hmm... sarcastic, too distant, too serious, intelligent, sharp, harsh (I just don't sugar-coat), "always in a bad mood", too proud, intense in a subtle, non in-your-face, way. Some people who know me a bit better also say that I am the type to get things done.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: A pessimistic realist.
Cautious or Impulsive: Cautious.
Calm or Hyper: Calm.
Trusting or Cynical: So very cynical.
Leader or Follower: I have more of a leader-type personality but more of a "leading from the background" type. I hate spot-light too much to be the leader but at the same time I'm a terrible follower because I'm the one who would think for themselves and pretty stubborn to add to that.
Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted.
Independent or Dependent: Independent.
Persistent or Laid-Back: Persistent most of the time.
Confident or Modest: Both in a way. I am a confident person but I don't have confidence in everything.

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? One thing about me is that despite how much I might dislike some things about myself, I accept them, more or less anyways. If I had to pick something, I think that if i had at least a bit more self-apprecation/less self-loathing, it would make me a stronger person. I'd also like to be able to get over some things that happened in the past much faster. I hold onto things I shouldn't for way too long for it to be healthy for me.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? Neither. I don't enjoy it, nor I care about ending it. I just tend to think if something happened, maybe you just need some time. I'm pretty bad at ending conflicts though, despite rarely getting angry enough at someone to dismiss them.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? I'd probably say something like "Excuse me, are you blind by any chance", hoping that isn't the case. If they were very arrogant, I'd probably add something to push their buttons but otherwise, I would try not to get worked up over it. Apparently they aren't intelligent enough to know what a queue is, what can you do.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? Probably for someone close to me or my views. While I'm not the type to really want to "save" the world, I can see myself getting involved in something like that if things I really loathe kept happening in this world more and more often. I'm not an idealist but I can't imagine being okay with this if the feeling was strong enough and I had an opportunity.
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Mostly offensive because while I can imagine myself taking up a more tactical supportive role, I'd probably hate being responsible for someone else's life.
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? No, unless it really annoyed me and I felt like giving it a lesson.

Name: Natalie.

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: My enneagram type would be 9, I think. I am also a Dreamy Idealist i.e. IntrovertediNtuitiveFeelingPerceiving. On the very popular daemon quiz, my result was Multi-Faceted Soul and I think it fits me very well. My zodiac sign is a Gemini, although I feel that Libra or Pisces could've fit me slightly better. I do think that Gemini fits me in a way that I have quite a lot of sides to my personality, nevertheless.

Let's see, now... I'm a person with a lot of flaws, the biggest one being my shyness, I may even seem anti-social to some; I really have trouble with talking freely to people at first, although afterward I open up a little and become very fun and friendly, although still not really outgoing, more like open. I can't stand seeing others in physical or mental pain very much, as it sort of transfers to me each time, and in that way I'm very sensitive; which usually turns out in me trying to awkwardly help with cheering others up and standing up for them, even when I honestly can't even stand up for myself, haha. I can sometimes be selfish, but still deep inside I care a lot about others, even though I don't always show it. I'm also very polite and I highly respect rules, even if at times I do think some of them are just meaningless, I think I would have been a good class president ~~who wouldn't bother anyone who doesn't want to be bothered~~. I despise depressing and sick things, such as cannibalism and murder in general, though I'm not ignorant and I do admit it exists and is a problem. I love LOVE! As well as fantasy, humor, romance and adventures.

I'm also slightly Type A tsundere, when I think about it, because I get very easily embarrassed when I talk about love or feelings and other things like that and I may not show my affection towards someone as openly as others. Let's just say I'm more of a shy tsundere type rather than outgoing tsundere type? I won't go around hitting the one I love, but I might give them the cold shoulder. Despite my wagon of flaws, I do believe I'm not obnoxious or immature, I always speak in a very peaceful manner and even my ever-constant irritation isn't very easy to spot, it takes a lot to make me act like a, well, normal person. One other thing I feel is worth mentioning is the fact that I'm a huge homebody, while I like fresh air and seeing new places can be quite fascinating, I'm probably as far as someone who has wanderlust as possible, I don't feel comfortable being far away from home.
"Good advice. If I listened earlier, I wouldn't be here. But that's just the trouble with me. I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it." - me in a nutshell.

Positive traits: Internally strong, diligent, imaginative, intelligent, funny (or I try to be, that is, haha), understanding, sympathetic, flexible, thoughtful, kindhearted, conscientious, forgiving, honest, but in a more gentle way; I try not to hurt people with the harsh or not so harsh truth unless I feel they deserve that.
Negative traits: Intolerant to stupidity, sensitive, anxious, distractable, lazy (I can do things very half-assed when I'm not interested), dependent, unsure, unfocused, initially guarded, finical, agreeable, spontaneous, bossy, impatient (to a point), grumpy. The following traits don't show nearly as much as others, but I do feel they need to be there to have a better picture: selfish/spoiled, critical, petty, feisty, prideful.
Please list some of your dislikes: Having to take a lot of medicine, which doesn't help the matter really, because I do have to take a lot of it still. Don't worry, I'm not a crazy person who needs to be medicated all the time, I just have an unfortunate disease and my mum's unfortunate love for vitamin pills, haha. Also, certain supporters of gay rights or feminism or anti-racism or other "popular" cultures who seriously are losing it with taking everything way too seriously and not even letting others state their honest opinion; no, I'm not someone close-minded who criticizes those movements, either, but I much prefer a calmer approach from people who sincerely care. When some people like to bring others down because they're not cool enough, in whatever sense... but I guess the most common would be school bullying. Other things I dislike would be drugs, alcohol, having to breathe smoky air, boiled vegetables, bitter chocolate and bitter food or attitude in general, unfairness, having to listen to betchy authority, being left alone when all I want is to be with someone.
What is the first impression that you give others?: Strangers usually think I'm either very collected and almost anti-social or very shy and need to open up, but you do need to know they are only strangers, and they're almost never right really, haha.
How are you described by those who know you?: Let me think, they often say I'm cute, very very often for sure... it's one trait that people never fail to see in me; I can't say I get it entirely well... they also say I'm honest, strong, sheltered, lazy and a bit selfish, as well as naive/clueless and too kind.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Realistic idealist :)
Cautious or Impulsive: I'm usually cautious, but can be impulsive if I get too emotional.
Calm or Hyper: Calm with hyper moments from time to time.
Trusting or Cynical: It's really hard to answer, but I'm thinking slightly more trusting than cynical.
Leader or Follower: I'm not much of a leader, I don't handle pressure very well and I'm too emotional to be controlling a group of people. Although some people did say I could've been a great leader, I'd much rather be my own leader in my head. So yeah, I'm leaning a bit more towards a follower, even though I don't follow without thinking things through and sharing my thoughts on how to act with the leader.
Introverted or Extroverted: I hide my feelings a lot (sometimes successfully), but at the same time I'm very open with my close friends, I'll basically tell them anything as long as I feel they're willing to listen.
Independent or Dependent: Both in a weird way. I try to act independent around others (though to be completely honest, it rarely works out very well, lol), especially people I don't know, but inside I'm dependent. I don't know what I'd do without some of my friends and my family, they're too important to me to ever lose without it having a huge impact on my world.
Persistent or Laid-Back: Laid-back in a sense that I know when to back off and stuff.
Confident or Modest: More modest than confident? I can be confident in certain areas, but I'm usually modest about anything I'm good at, at least outside. I just have way too much stuff going on in my brain ~~that you probably don't want to know about either way~~, haha.

【 Add something here 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I'd like to be less sensitive to whatever others think of me.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? One thing I surely do not enjoy in life is conflict, and I prefer to not start it in the first place. I don't mind rivalry, though, as I find it fun from time to time!
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? I would definitely boil up inside, but outside I would try to stay cool. What I would surely do, though, is cut in front of them again because I'm a very mature individual, lol.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? Probably to help somebody who I consider a close friend of mine or just fight because I have no other choice... I'm just not normally a world-saving type.
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Supportive, that's for sure; although I don't think I can't get offensive and defensive from time to time either? Since it would be rather boring to just be in a supportive role after a while.
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Not really, I don't see much of a point, plus I imagine I would avoid fighting with enemies, especially powerful ones.

Name: Amber ♥

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: I'm a mix of Spontaneous Idealist and INFP.
Spontaneous Idealists are creative, lively and open-minded persons. They are humorous and dispose of a contagious zest for life. Their enthusiasm and sparkling energy inspires others and sweeps them along. They enjoy being together with other people and often have an uncanny intuition for their motivations and potential. Spontaneous Idealists are masters of communication and very amusing and gifted entertainers. Fun and variety are guaranteed when they are around. However, they are sometimes somewhat too impulsive in dealing with others and can hurt people without really meaning to do so, due to their direct and sometimes critical nature.
INFPs are introspective, private, creative and highly idealistic individuals that have a constant desire to be on a meaningful path. They are driven by their values and seek peace. Empathetic and compassionate, they want to help others and humanity as a whole. INFPs are imaginative, artistic and often have a talent for language and writing. They can also be described as easygoing, selfless, guarded, adaptable, patient and loyal.
I also took this test and I got the Neutral Good alignment which I think fits pretty well... And I also got Regal Soul on a Daemon test, which makes some sense but it's not totally accurate at some points. I'll copy and paste what I think is accurate: You love to be around people. Without them, you would wilt and fade away. Too much time alone leave you feeling listless and sad, but a good night out with your buddies puts the spring back into your step. You make friends easily, because you know how to adjust your behaviour for each person. With a rowdy, loud, social type of person you can be rowdy, and loud, and social. With a timid and mousy person you can be quiet and sensitive. While you have many friends and many faces, you have an inner circle of friends and family with whom you can truly be yourself.
Maybe that helps some? :)

Positive traits: I'm very aware of people's feelings and such. I'm fiercely loyal to those I love. I'm not a nosy person and I don't push something when it's obvious someone doesn't want to talk, part of that being because I read people pretty well. I'm always trying to look on the bright side of situations, even when others find them to be completly hopeless. I'm pretty funny at certain times, too. It's only once in a while that I act funny, but when I do it's hilarious! (Hahaha, at least I'd like to think I'm pretty funny...)
Negative traits: I do not like to work. At all. Sometimes I can get fairly bossy, and it annoys a bunch of my family members all the time. I can get annoyed pretty easily. Just a little slip can set me off, even if it's meant to be just a joke. I can also be blunt. Like really blunt. But I try to not hurt people when the subject's sensitive... But my biggest problem is how I always have to have approval from other people. Just a little criticism, even constructive criticism, can ruin my entire day... But I'm putting effort into changing that trait :)
Please list some of your dislikes: I hate having the door to my room open when I'm in it. And you know the numbers that you see whenever you turn up the volume? I can't stand it when that number's odd. ~~I swear this question always makes me sound OCD...~~ And I dislike humorless people and backstabbers too.
What is the first impression that you give others?: Well... Usually I get "nice." I don't really give off too strong of an impression until much later :)
How are you described by those who know you?: Someone once said I'm "under appreciated" by my friends and that I somewhat have a guilty conscious. In other words I always think I did something wrong. The same person has also said that I'm a firey personality and that I worry too much about what people think.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Optimistic. Yes. I've annoyed people with my optimism XD; But even then I have my pessimistic moments.. Really though. Who doesn't?
Cautious or Impulsive: I'm much more impulsive really. It's uh... It's gotten me into a lot of trouble before XD; I don't really think before saying something... I just say it D; But in more sensitive situations I do tend to watch my mouth a bit.
Calm or Hyper: I'm more... Energetic. I wouldn't say that I'm exactly hyper, ya know? Overall though it really just depends on how I feel. I know that there are certain instances where you need to be more calm anyway :)
Trusting or Cynical: Trusting. Unless you've wronged me in some way I don't see any reason to be cynical towards you *shrug*
Leader or Follower: I'm the type that could both lead and follow. I really don't mind it when someone else is in charge but if there's no one who's willing to step up I'm more than willing to take the lead :)
Introverted or Extroverted: A mix of both, honestly... It's one of those things where it really just depends on my mood, ya know?
Independent or Dependent: Dependent, but I really wish I wasn't. I should also mention that I'm especially dependent on one certain person...
Persistent or Laid-Back: I'm much more laid-back! And it's yet another thing that gets me into plenty of trouble D;
Confident or Modest: It... Depends. I'm actually somewhat proud of my looks (that sounds bad, I know) but there are plenty of my traits that I'm not proud of.

【 Add something here 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My need for everyone's approval... It's a trait that I've had forever and it's a trait I've hated forever. But like I said... I've been trying to work on changing that :)
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? I seek to never start it to begin with! XD I really don't like conflict so if I can stop it, I'll do it as soon as possible.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? Well I'm sure to tell them to get the hell out of line in some way. If I'm already in a bad mood then I'll probably be more aggressive to him, but on a good day I'll do the exhasparated "clear my throat and tap my foot" thing.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? I think it'd be just for the sake of helping others. I'd be saving it for others, but probably more to save people who were particularly important to me :)
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? I think I'd be like a mix of supportive and defensive since I'm not exactly the strongest physically XD
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Nope. I'm for sure out of there... Unless I'm mad. Then maybe I'll fight it :p

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: I try to see the good in everyone and live by the policy of "forgive and forget," I hardly ever get jealous of other people, I’m understanding, and I try to avoid conflict if at all possible. I’m incredibly shy and withdrawn around other people, and I don’t really have a lot of confidence in my own abilities. I tend to worry about things that I have no control over, and I can be a bit immature and childish at times. I’d probably much rather run away from problems than simply deal with them head-on, and I can be really naïve (my family and friends will often tell me that I don’t act with common sense). But at the same time, I can ALSO be insanely stubborn and determined when I feel very strongly about something so it really just depends on the situation at hand. I can ramble on and on when it comes to topics that catch my interest too. I tend to probably be way more polite than is necessary in most social situations as well, for some reason.

I recently took this test...and I pretty much was tied with Lawful Good and Neutral Good (seriously...I took the test four times just to be sure, and literally had only about a point of difference between both options in my individual results depending on how I answered one or two questions XD). I could see both options fitting for me within reason at times and I've actually gotten both results before on similar online tests in the past as well, so I shall mention them here in case they could be helpful for stamping purposes! :D Thank you very much to cassandrablue for the test link! ♥

I took the Enneagram Personality Test, and I got Type 6: The Loyalist...which seems fairly accurate for the most part. In brief, the Type 6 is described as The Committed, Security-Oriented Type: Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent "troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious—running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others. They have a basic fear of being without support and guidance, and their basic desire is to have security and support. The key motivations for a Type 6 are that they want to have security, to feel supported by others, to have certitude and reassurance, to test the attitudes of others toward them, to fight against anxiety and insecurity. ...And the link itself does an even more detailed/lengthier description of that personality type if you need it! I think it fits rather well, all things considered.

...And I followed someone's example and also took this test. It was fairly accurate, I thought! So feel free to read this one too if you still need more personality reference:
You are shy and a little reclusive. Big crowds and new social situations make you feel uncomfortable and nervous. You prefer to stick with your close friends and family. You have a large personal space and you hate to feel crowded or overwhelmed. If you have been dragged out to a party, or have had a stressful day at work, you need to retreat to your own private place for a while afterwards to recharge.

You are very sensitive, and easily hurt. You tend to worry about what other people are thinking about you. Often, the offhand comments that people make hurt your feelings. You tend to hide your feelings from people whom you are not comfortable with, like strangers, acquaintances or coworkers. You may brush things off with a joke or hide your pain behind a toss of the head. You try not to overreact to things, and you avoid conflict, especially with strangers. However, if you are pushed too far, you can defend yourself with a vengeance.

With your loved ones you are quite different. You trust them with your feelings and with them you tend to be more open and sincere. You are loyal and clannish, and while you hide yourself from strangers and acquaintances, you come out of hiding when your close friends and family are around. Or at least, you do for a while, before you need to retreat back into your private place to re-charge.

Positive traits: Caring, observant, creative, playful, polite, and understanding.
Negative traits: Shy, anxious, daydreamer (from the stance that I sometimes have to be reminded to keep myself grounded when I let my mind wander), naïve, lazy, and indecisive.
Please list some of your dislikes: Character/couple bashing (even if I disagree with someone's point of view, I like remaining open minded and respectful of their opinions), unnecessary fights, and people who are intentionally cruel to others.
What is the first impression that you give others?: ...I think that, when people first meet me, they probably view me as someone who needs to be protected somehow. As I stated before, I come across as someone very quiet and nervous when interacting with people I'm not overly-familiar with...and I've even been called "meek" and "timid" on more than one occasion.
How are you described by those who know you?: Once I become more comfortable around someone, I can open up a bit more (people are often surprised the first time I speak up or crack a joke with them). Get me started on a topic that I really enjoy...and I will literally NOT stop talking about it (as people who are familiar with my ramblings on LJ are probably very much aware of! ~~Sorry about that, everyone...and thank you for putting up with me!~~ ♥). I've been told that I'm more playful and enthusiastic than my initial impression indicates by people because of that. I've also been described as polite (though socially awkward), creative, understanding, nervous, a worrier, and nice by others once they've gotten to know me.

A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: I'd rather see the silver lining to things, so I guess I'm more of an optimist/idealist at heart (though with probably some more realistic tendencies at times depending on certain situations).
Cautious or Impulsive: It can depend on the situation, but I think I tend to be more logical/cautious overall since I'm always worrying about things anyway.
Calm or Hyper: Somewhere in-between for the most part, although I do have moments of extreme hyperactivity and calmness.
Trusting or Cynical: Trusting, probably. I have my cynical moments (especially if it's about a situation that seems really odd or if someone has done things that were untrustworthy repeatedly before), but overall I try to be forgiving or believe in the best in others.
Leader or Follower: A follower, definitely...I'd constantly be worried about making the wrong decisions if I was placed in a position of leadership. And I'm not sure I could be strict enough in enforcing policies and what-not, so I'd probably be a somewhat ineffective leader at that.
Introverted or Extroverted: Very, very shy...I don't really dislike people or anything, I just have a really hard time getting the confidence I need to talk to others comfortably. It's something I need to work on, but it's a trait that's really hard to change. I'm able to be a bit more open around family and close friends though.
Independent or Dependent: Dependent...more than I'd like to be, at any rate. I'm more than capable of doing things for myself when I have to do so, but I tend to panic if I think about things for too long and become afraid that I somehow won't be able to do something or I'll mess it up due to my low self-confidence--so if I'm with a friend, I'll end up unconsciously letting them take the lead sometimes (for instance, it never fails how quickly I'll fall into silence during a conversation with someone I don't know very well if I'm with a more extroverted friend).
Persistent or Laid-Back: Oddly persistent in some situations, while laid-back in others. :D It kind of just depends. If it isn't something I feel overly strongly about, I'm usually more laid-back when it comes to most things though.
Confident or Modest: I'm almost self-deprecatingly modest at times and tend to lean more towards being insecure to the point where I hardly ever see value in my own work (even if someone tells me something I've done is good, I always doubt it in my head). I think that's partially due to my anxiousness and confidence issues, but aside from joking and occasionally acting that way online or with people I'm familiar with...I'm not a very confident person.

【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My confidence issues. I think that's probably the biggest thing holding me back at times: I doubt that I'm strong enough to do things on my own, and it even stems into my shyness too (since I don't think anyone is interested in what I have to say, it makes it all the more terrifying to risk putting it out there and getting rejected). Being a bit more confident would just help me to reach my goals a bit quicker in the long run, I think.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? I don't enjoy conflict, but I can be pretty good at it if I'm annoyed at something enough ~~as my sister probably can attest to, orz~~! XD Still, as a rule...I don't particularly see it as being beneficial in the long run (and if I think about past conflicts I've had with certain people...I realize just how stupidly pointless most of them were to begin with), so I tend to try to end them as soon as I can or just avoid them in general if I'm able to do so (a quick change of topic or similar things like that to change a mood).
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? ...I probably really wouldn't do anything, lolz. I'd complain about it under my breath (or perhaps make a snarky comment with the cashier if they were also rude to them or something), but I wouldn't press the issue to the person themselves. It's a minor annoyance when people do things like that, and it's pretty rude too...but it's not going to really hurt me if I have to wait a little longer.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? ...Probably just because I felt like helping out. Maybe a friend needed help or something...but even if that wasn't the case, if there was something I could do to help save the world in that situation--I'd probably feel like a really big jerk if I DIDN'T try to do something. ~~Although the world might be doomed already if they're relying on someone like me to help them, lolz. XD~~
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Probably more of a defensive or supportive role. I'd not much of an offensive person when it comes to fighting even in things like video games, but I always spam healing and try doing status effects and the like...so I imagine that would probably be my style in a real fight too. :)
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Eh, not if it can be avoided! XD

Are there any characters you would prefer not to be voted as? Not really. I've been curious about this series for awhile, and will probably be getting the DVDs for it once they're available here...so, I'm mainly applying to the theme for a really gorgeous stamp and to help pique my curiosity for the series even more before then. ♥ Thank you very much for taking the time to vote on me! :D

Ao No Exorcist Theme

2012-08-27T00:49:22Z

Name: Vanja

【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality:
My personality can seem contradictory or random to others, as I can act quite differently depending on the situation and who I'm around. I'm cynical, but still have some idealism in the sense that I'm passionate about the causes I care about and still get disappointed when people seem to be going backwards. I enjoy helping friends, but I can't stand most people. I'm nihilistic objectively, but I do care about things on a more personal level. I've been called easy-going + intense, reckless + planned, among other things. Sometimes one part of these will appear more prominent than the other part, but then it'll eventually swing back.

I can be too outspoken, argumentative, and blunt. While I can plan things out ~~usually... well, if they're important actions, at least~~, I need better control over my mouth. I have a tendency to open it no matter who it is-- I've gotten into arguments with teachers, managers, etc... I do have a filter over it to an extent, but this has created problems in the past.

You could call me "self-made," for lack of a better term. Much of what I know, I had to learn on my own. I've had to dig myself out of an area that seemed to have a "Abandon hope, all ye born here... unless you're one of the few sons/daughters of factory owners!" motto, and it has severely impacted my overall mentality and perspectives.

If you want my MBTI, I almost always get INTJ. (percentages) I'm not the quietest introvert and do make choices based on emotions at times, but the general description when all are applied as a whole fits quite well. The main aspect I'd say doesn't fit is the bit about not being able to support others, although I do tend to offer solutions rather than just hug them. All of the other negatives? Spot on, sadly... (Always wanting to improve things, assuming I'm right... Note to self: Don't be such an ass.)

There's also this popular quiz used on these, which does fit very well, particularly the part I highlighted. If you need any more of these ~~because I clearly don't ramble enough~~, I tend to get 5 - "The Investigator" (with 3 or 8 close behind) for Enneagrams, Chaotic Neutral (it's always pretty far in the Chaotic spectrum while the morality is often mixed, which fits CN well anyway, heh, especially since I do just tend to whatever I feel will be best or most amusing for a situation and don't believe in good or evil), and am a Scorpio who does tend to get either it (secretive, passionate inside, resentful, with a tendency to see through lies) or Aquarius (freedom-loving, can be seen as detached, unpredictable, and hates loneliness) when it comes to personality.
Positive traits:
Analytical, independent, calm-minded (read: despite anything else, I at least think rationally), clever, open-minded, curious, "humorous"... but that can also be a negative *points below*
Negative traits:
Hopelessly self-critical, secretive (in the sense that I don't like to talk about my personal life - though I will talk about other things easily enough - and I tend to do/plan things without telling others), devious, obstinate, overly-curious, sarcastic/mocking/mixed with a dark sense of humor in general, rather bitter... at least if you catch me on a bad day.
Please list some of your dislikes:
More than anything? Bigots, gender generalizations, people who complain but don't do anything to change whatever they're whining about, and the feeling of failure. Other dislikes include people who keep me up until 4 in the morning when I have to get up at 7, anything with the words "Hallmark" or "Lifetime" attached to it, and privileged people who think they're the most amazing people in the universe when they've never had to do anything for themselves in their lives.
What is the first impression that you give others?:
It really depends. Some assume I'm nice and helpful while others assume I'm a terrible demon. ~~I like to think that neither are really true~~ As much as I hate to admit it, I sometimes come off as intimidating and "intense," but then again, other people who I've only talked to for a brief bit have called me down-to-earth and laid-back, so it definitely varies.
How are you described by those who know you?:
Most people, after they know me, say something along the lines of "intelligent, snarky, and abrasive."

+ When I did Johari/Nohari windows recently the most commonly picked traits were independent, self-assertive, witty, logical, intelligent, trustworthy, cynical, chaotic, callous, blasé, overdramatic, and hostile.

*Though I was told people wanted adjectives which weren't there, like that blasé meant that I get bored easily and overdramatic because of the self-criticalness causing me to think the world is ending if I mess something up... but there are better words that weren't options for all that.

【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: I have ideals, but I know what's realistic.
Cautious or Impulsive: I plan things out if they're important and I tend to think things through in general, but I can still act impulsive if I just don't care regardless. Often in day-to-day actions, I'll consider all the possibilities, but still do something reckless when it comes to the short term.
Calm or Hyper: Depends on the amount of coffee I've had? I normally act more energetic than I feel, though.
Trusting or Cynical: Cynical.
Leader or Follower: True to my MBTI stereotype, a background leader. I'm too opinionated and outspoken to be a complete follower, but I prefer to advise rather than outright lead. I will take up a leader position if no one else is willing to and/or the only people who want to are incompetent, though.
Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted.
Independent or Dependent: Independent.
Persistent or Laid-Back: Persistent, provided I care enough about something. Otherwise, laid-back. I don't really consider these opposites anyway, so~
Confident or Modest: Confident when I know I'm good at something, modest about everything else.

【 Add something here 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
There's actually... quite a bit. Despite being calm on the surface (again, normally), I wish I actually were also calm underneath that.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can?
I enjoy certain types of conflict, but loathe others. I'm competitive and love a good debate, for instance, but I hate senseless drama or petty fights.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react?
Probably say something like "hey, I guess you didn't notice, but the end of the line is back there." If they persist on staying there for whatever reason, I wouldn't force the issue, but I can't imagine not saying something.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself?
Honestly? Probably a mixture. I would be doing it partially for the world, as I want to see that place changed, but that also implies I'm doing it for myself, as there's always plenty of people who want to see the world go in different directions and I'm selfishly pushing it towards the one I want in that situation.

'Sides, I'm sure the benefits from it - at least in the saving one - would be great and all-too-tempting...
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role?
I like both offensive or supportive. I do tend to stay in the back where I can observe things better, but give me a long range damaging weapon or as even just the stat buffer / tactical advise / etc and I'm happy. I never really care about defense.
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway?
Maybe. I like a challenge, but I'm not really the type to start a physical fight for it. I think it would depend on how much the enemy annoys me.
