The Cartesian coordinate system is a popular method of representing real numbers and is the bane of eighth graders everywhere.

Describe yourself as a point or series of points on this axial arrangement. If you are a function, what are you? In which quadrants do you lie? Are x and y enough for you, or do you warrant some love from the z-axis? Be sure to include your domain, range, derivative, and asymptotes, should any apply.

I'm thinking maybe Ivan Karamazov, of course I could just do the TV thing and say House, or mythological thing and say Prometheus.
