[ who is my F I N A L ∙ F A N T A S Y ∙ B F F ? ]
Name: Myst
Previously Stamped As: Regular: Lulu/Nanaki | Mirror: Fran/Auron | Weapon: Staff | Main Party: Quistis & Luneth | Song: Terra's Theme | Group: Returners | Villain: Seymour | Race: Moogle | Dissidia: Firion | Summon: Asura | Matchmaker: Ingus/Aerith | Job Class: White Mage | Job Class Mirror: Summoner | Stereotype: Selfless Mage
Does the gender of your BFF matter?: Since this is a restamp, yes.
If this is a restamp, please indicate who you were stamped with and why you are reapplying.: Na - I got Fran, I'm happy with that, but I have one guy BFF and one girl BFF IRL, I'm wondering who my male best friend in FF would be!
You say up, I say down.
Define friendship in your own words.: This is actually quite difficult for me; it's a close bond between two people, I guess, but I find it pretty hard to put into words.
Are you the type of person to have many friends who aren't quite as close, or very few but very close friends?: Few but close.
As an extention of the previous question, do you make friends easily?: Not really.
Tell us about some of your interests and beliefs. Is it important for you to have these in common with your friends?: Not all of them, but I think it's always good to have something in common with them.
Describe the relationship you have with your current best friend.: Okay, the guy one... he's more practical than I am, and I treat him a lot like an older brother, because I don't have one. I tease him a lot, and he teases me back, but we always know if he was upset or anything I'd be there for him. I get angry at people who hurt his feelings, and occasionally I have to slap some sense into him. Occasionally, I have to deflate his ego. ;)
And I ain't too proud to say...
Name five of your positive traits.: Intelligent, creative, loyal, compassionate, determined
Name five of your negative traits.: Sarcastic, over-emotional, temperamental, procrastinator, stubborn
Which of these traits, if any, do you like to have in common with your friends and which do you not?:Intelligence, compassion and loyalty. The ability to snark at everything, too. Actually, I'm OK with all of these traits in my friends.
Is rivalry acceptable in a friendship for you?: Well, yes, if it's friendly rivalry. I've often played a game with my friends and gone "Oh, no, you broke my high score! Wait 'til I beat yours!" There are people I don't mind losing to. I'm somewhat competitive, but not that much.
In your group of friends, what role (e.g. the leader, the prankster, the sweet one, etc.) do you tend to play?: Cranky healer? I mother people around. Apparently.
You've been a friend to me.
A great and terrible war has been waging for years, slowly taking towns one by one. Many have fleed, taking to lives of crime, revolution, opportunity... Others have picked sides, choosing to fight for their beliefs. The rest remain in their village, waiting to protect their homes with everything they've got. In the grand scheme of things, where do you see you and your friend?: Coaxing the villagers to flee and take their loved ones to safety, with as many valuables as they can safely carry without hindering themselves or making themselves good targets for bandits. There's no point in staying if you're just going to get killed; material treasures can be obtained again, but the lives of your loved ones are more important.
It seems one of the armies have captured you for reasons they neglect to enlighten you with. You do happen to overhear them saying they're going to feed you and your friend to the antlion, which means - you guessed it! - escape sequence time. Tell us how you and your friend escape death's clutches. Be creative!:
Let's see. The lovely thing about these armies is that they always have incompetent flunkies guarding the rather ill-built cells. I bet one of them will be snoozing soundly, with the keys hanging in an obvious position off his belt. My friend will probably pick the lock or find a way of getting the keys off said flunky, open the door, and we'll creep down the corridor and out just in time to be spotted by the somewhat more competent guards (who are higher up the flunky ladder, you see.) There will then be a chase sequence, in which we take a wrong turn because we're not familiar with the layout and end up in the antlion pit. Flunkies being flunkies, they'll assume that this means that we are doomed and leave. In the meantime, we'll kick antlion ass and get out of there dusty, scratched up, but still alive and kicking.
Bummer. Despite your efforts, the leader of said army has come and put a complete halt to your shenanigans. However, they're actually impressed with your skill and want to enlist you as high-ranking generals in their army. Your friend is worried that if you and them decline, you'll be killed on the spot; they seem more inclined towards accepting the deal. On the other hand, this army did just try to kill you because you happened to be standing nearby. What do you decide?: Accept, and then work against them subtly from the inside. Can't do anything when dead.
Well, whatever you decided is pretty much a moot point now. For some reason, the leader of that army decided they wanted your friend, not you. Through some charm and quite possibly some mind tricks, they turn your friend against you. What are you going to do now?: Oh. Oh-oh. I'd escape, being reluctant to hurt my friend and all.
And what about your friend? Is this some clever ruse to get on the inside? Are they possessed? Are they truly out to get on the "winning" side? Give us your thoughts on what might make your friend pull something like this.: My friend? He'd not be the sort to betray me. He would either be possessed or be pulling a fast one on them so he could work against them from the inside. Either way, I'd be worried about him; no matter whether he's safe or not, when he stops being possessed he'll feel awfully guilty even when it isn't his fault.
After some drama and many hardships, you and your friend are eventually reunited just in time for the final boss fight. How does the reunion go? Is it bittersweet, pure joy, angry-- something else entirely?: "YOU. YOU IDIOT. YOU MADE ME WORRY. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING, RUNNING OFF LIKE THAT?" Then we'd go kill the boss.
Finally, the credits are rolling and giving some insight on the whereabouts of everyone after saving the world. Where are you and your friend?: Exploring, perhaps.
A godsend to me.
