Application
BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, PLEASE PROVIDE THE LINKS OF THREE APPLICATIONS YOU HAVE VOTED ON: (if there are not three applications at this time, please vote on them as they come though, and edit your post)
One, two, and three.
Mode
Basics
Name: (real name if possible) Going by s/n: Garowyn.
Age: Adult.
Mental Age: Hmm, I'd still say young and old at the same time, inexperienced and experienced, etc.
Gender: (please include here if you wish to be rated as a certain gender) Female, but it doesn't matter which gender of character I am voted as.
Overtones
More in-depth
Strong Points: I am determined, creative, trustworthy, and unwilling to sacrifice integrity. I can give advice when needed, but I can also listen to people and just be there when words just aren't enough. I'm a fairly decent writer and artist (in drawing, mainly). I love to joke around! I enjoy making others laugh. I'm all right at cooking and baking.
Weak Points: I'm shy and not very independent. I worry quite a bit about almost everything. I have a tendency to overreact (which stems from worrying too much!) at times. I anger easily (working on that, though), where I might say harsh words and regret it later, but usually I apologize after I've had some time to myself. I'm lazy and a kind of a procrastinator.
Fears: Public-speaking, natural disasters, pain of death, loss of loved ones/pets.
Goals for the future Be more independent and perhaps have a novel published.
Describe yourself with 3 words/phrases: Compassionate, steadfast, trustworthy
How do people view you; what impression does someone get when first meeting you?: I imagine people assume to me to be unfriendly or snobbish, but I'm really just shy and unsure of how to act in front of strangers. Once I get to know you (or vice versa), I feel more at ease, and will even smile readily, although I'm terrible at starting conversations!
Divisi
Choose one or both: (it'd be nice if you gave examples to back up your choices)
Optimistic/Pessimistic? I can be pessimistic because I worry a lot, but I've been working on being more optimistic; I guess you could say, I'm realizing that time spent worrying is time wasted because it will change nothing -- except make me even more anxious!
Leader/Follower? It really depends on what I would be called to do. If I'm given a specific task, I'll carry it out, but if it's necessary to take over, I'll lead and do the best I can.
General Mood/Energy Level?: Hmm...normal. Content.
Favourite Weather and why?: Not too hot, not too cold; spring and fall fit that best, but I don't mind a little wind and rain now and then.
Favourite Flavour/Scent and why?: Don't have one, actually.
Favourite book/manga/anime/tv series and why?: Don't have just one; I have many! And most border on fantasy and science fiction because I like going to other worlds or reading/watching something when you want to forget today's harsh and sorrowful reality for a moment or two: I enjoy works from J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Donita K. Paul, Matthew Stover, Bill Myers, and Frank Peretti (I love reading, and with that comes a love of writing). I am a huge Star Wars fan! And anime/manga, I have many, but my current favorites (along with reasons why) are: Death Note (manga -- impressive deductions and suspense), Dragon Ball/Z (anime -- just can't beat this one), Full Metal Alchemist (anime/manga -- really good story), Gundam Seed/Destiny (anime -- emotional war stories), La Corda d'Oro (anime/manga -- lighthearted and romantic), Prince of Tennis (manga -- characters), Rurouni Kenshin (manga -- awesome series), Slam Dunk (manga -- the most hilarious manga series ever!), and Trigun (anime -- great story).
Favourite location/city and why?: Reminds of the question, mountains or ocean? Well, the answer to that and the main question would be mountains, near mountains, in view of mountains, etc. They are beautiful and majestic.
Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why?: Pride. I sometimes allow it to get the best of me, and I wish I wouldn't let it. Pride is hurtful.
Deadly Sin you don't relate to at all and why?: Wrath. According to definition, I don't harbor any extreme hatred for anyone, even if I do get annoyed with humanity from time to time.
What do you look for in a relationship?/without getting melodramatic, what is your love life like?: I'd be looking for trust, understanding, commitment, communication; love is so much more than "feelings." You have to work at it. I wouldn't expect perfection, but a genuine desire to make it lasting.
Cadence
La Corda D'Oro
Favourite Character: My most very favorite is Ryoutarou Tsuchiura, especially when I found out he plays soccer and the piano (my favorite sport and instrument combined!). Friendly, easy-going, yet stubborn...I just really like him, easily beating out any other characters up for the #1 spot. My two other favorites would be Len Tsukimori and Shouko Fuyuumi. Len because of his passion and determination, mixed with his strict and, well, rude attitude (different from the same type of character having a tragic past, unless being in the shadow of his parents counts as a really tragic past). Shouko because of her shyness, but she still goes out to perform and wants to improve herself. She's a sweet girl.
Least Favourite Character: Azuma Yunoki, and no it's not because he can be a little sadistic (for lack of a better word). He just doesn't appeal to me as much as the other three.
Favourite paring?: Probably Len/Kahoko, although I do like Ryoutarou/Kahoko and Kazuki/Shouko.
Do you play any instruments? No.
Given the choice, what instrument would you like to play? Heh, heh, even though I'd be better off playing the triangle (so I don't destroy somebody's ears), I wouldn't mind playing the piano or the harp.
What composers/artists/genres do you enjoy listening to, and why? Classical: Yanni; I love creating stories or imagining scenes while listening to his compositions. And if you count movie soundtracks as "classical music," I'm always up for exciting or ominous music from Star Wars (trumpets almost always mean victory during those parts!), Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Halo 1/2, Gundam Seed/Destiny, Batman Begins, and the like.
Japanese: See-Saw, Yuki Kajiura (I love her songs!), FictionJunction YUUKA, CHEMISTRY, HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, Gackt, L'arc~en~ciel, FLOW, Nami Tamaki, Mika Nakashima, HOME MADE Kazoku, ORANGE RANGE, TM Revolution, and Asian Kung-Fu Generation (and while we're at it, add Suwabe Junichi, a voice actor who does songs for the character, Keigo Atobe; actually, most of these I have heard through anime...). Don't have a specific reason why I like them; I just do.
Other favorites include Jars of Clay, delirious?, DC Talk, Newsboys, Switchfoot, Stabilo, Rebecca St. James, Skillet, ZOEgirl, and Michael W. Smith. All of these I enjoy because they are inspirational, truthful (in other words, straight to the point), catchy, rock/pop-worthy...I just like 'em! Oh, and Blackmore's Night -- a story within a song; what more could you want?
