Icha Icha Paradise just didn't have the oomph of Jiraya's later novels...

THE BASICS
Name: Ywain Penbrydd
Age: 28
Gender: M
...................
RESTAMP INFO
Previously stamped (only once) as Kakashi.
THE PERSONAL
Likes: Porn, flirting, instant noodles, cats, chewing on pencils (or straws, or sewing needles, or anything small and cylindrical that'll hold up to teeth), the Oxford English Dictionary, keeping a tally of the number of times I can electrocute myself before getting the grounding wire placed properly, mayhem, beer, and being a big damn hero with as little work as possible.
Dislikes: Idiots, pushy idiots, children, beef-flavoured anything, chewing on pens and having them leak ink in my mouth, dogs, watching people die, failing, writing things that later turn out to be incoherent, working in a call centre, and throwing up.
What do you feel is your best quality?: I'm damned sexy, and talented, too.
Your worst?: I have no faith left in humanity. I'm sure they deserve better from me, but they're just not showing any signs of it, lately.
Pet Peeves: People telling me they're going to burn down my call centre, running out of medication in the middle of the night, people demanding a supervisor before telling me their names (ain't nobody gonna talk to you, if they don't know who you are and what you want, jackass!), people touching me, people expecting platitudes from me, expectations that I will care at all, finding the bathtub set on 'shower' and getting a faceful of rusty water.
Dreams & Ambitions: To make an honest difference in the world, even if it's as simple as stopping one more genius from committing suicide. To meet and fall in love with someone who can tolerate me for more than two years, who also doesn't make me want to set them on fire after six months. To get a job that doesn't make me alternately want to commit murder and suicide (being a ninja doesn't count. you're supposed to kill people as a ninja.) Tobecome rich, but not famous.
Personality in 5 words or less: Earthy, violent, staid, witty, intellectual

FAVORITES
Favorite Season: Winter is too cold, Summer is too hot, and Spring is the time when they haven't turned on the cooler, yet. Regardless of any thematic associations, I'm gonna have to say Autumn.
Favorite Element: Ytturbium. Seriously. It's #70 on the periodic table, and it's fun to say.
Favorite Naruto character & why: Gekkou Hayate -- his perseverance is inspiring, as is his determination to do what is right, even when it kills him.

THIS OR THAT
Mature or Immature: Hopelessly immature. I pay my bills on time, and all that other grown-up crap, but I totally still get smashassed drunk and make ass jokes. And I still have some girl's thong mounted on my wall, strictly to unsettle my visitors.
Leader or Follower: Middle management. I can cover other people's asses like nobody's business. If my plans go south, I can say it was all my fault, and everyone else walks away clean. I'll take a fall for a whole department -- I've done it before.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Realistic. It can't rain all the time, but neither can you always win. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and be pleasantly surprised when things run the midground.
Impulsive or Cautious: Wildly impulsive. I'm extremely conservative, most of the time, but when the urge to do something stupid strikes, it's like a tonne of bricks. There's no saying 'no' to a tonne of bricks.
Outgoing or Shy: I'm not shy, I just hate people. Of course, I'm probably going to have to say 'outgoing', because I've got nothing against telling them that.
Hardworking or Laid-back: Who says you can't be both? I'm a lazy motherfucker, but I still do enough work for two people and get almost all of it in on time. Timing, after all, is everything.
Hyper, Calm, or somewhere in-between: Depends -- how irate have the stupid people made me today? In terms of body motion, I barely move at all, but my finger is fast on the mute button and I have a vast array of expletives that would shame even a lifelong Marine. I guess that counts as calm.
Modest or Bold: Realistic. Ask me something. If I can do it, I'll tell you I can do it and exactly how long it'll take. If I can't do it, I'll tell you that, too. In terms of relationships and meeting people, I'm relatively bold. I just cut the shit and announce what I want -- not ask for it, just say I'm going to get it -- and that I'm looking for volunteers. If I can't get what I want where I am, I'll go somewhere else. Backup plans are winful, and so's the ability to adlib.
Lover or Fighter: Another case of 'why pick one?' I prefer the first 'F' to the second 'F', but if you're upsetting my harem, I've got nothing against breaking your fingers. Hn, now that I think about it, I suppose that does make me a lover, after all...

SITUATIONS
You really don't like someone and find them in a heap of trouble. Would you ignore their pleas for help or give a helping hand?:
Hahaha. So, no shit, there I was, sitting at home with a pretty girl, when this guy I'm not on the best of terms with collapses into my front door, having been beaten by three guys with bats, and left to die two miles away. I open the door after this loud thump, and drag him into the house. The girl and I find he's got three broken ribs, his face is broken, and a few fingers don't look quite right. So, you know, like you do, we held him down and set his ribs, and then called him a cab. He didn't want to go to the hospital. *shrugs*
When the going gets tough, do you stay your ground by yourself, call for help, or run away?:
Running exposes your back to projectiles. That's kind of a bad idea. If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna do it like a man rogue. Stand my ground, look for distractions, and strike from the back. In terms of less violent applications, this translates to confusing the clerk until they sign the damn paper. If help is available, I'll take it. If it's not already there, fuck it, I'm not standing around.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting 10 minutes. What do you do?:
"Excuse you. Back of the line is over there." *points* I am such a bitchy fag, sometimes.
NARUTO VERSE; Naruto has been following you around all day, trying to get you to teach him a new secret move he saw you do that he thought was cool. What do you do?:
Trade it to him for Sexy no Jutsu. Duh.
NARUTO VERSE; Would you rather be attacking up close and personal, hiding far off using a type of long range attacks, or not on the battle field at all?
I'm sincerely into long range, especially quiet and long range. Senbon, shuriken, arrows -- these are my weapons of choice.
NARUTO VERSE; Your friend has joined the "dark side" and wants you to join them. More power and money, they say. Would you join them?
Does the dark side come with health insurance? And perhaps more to the point, is it a kind of dark I can agree with? If it's destroying the hive mind of the modern social structure, yeah, I'm in. If it's got better education and opportunities for research? Oh, hell yes. You know, the more I think about this, the more I realise that Kabuto could probably sell me on it, but very few other characters, because he's got a better grip on the intellectual and social appeals. (Kabuto? Social? Yeah, I know. I'm still serious.) It's all about risk/benefit analysis.

INSPIRATIONAL
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?: I'd stop being so goddamn sick all the time. Chronic illness is bad for the soul.
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?: I'd push for proper education as a form of government control of the people, rather than fearmongering. Smart people tend to do the right thing -- the thing that has the most widespread benefit. Fearful people do whatever they're least afraid of.
If you could become any character from the series for one day - 24 hours - who would it be?: Shiranui Genma. The man does not give a rat's ass about people, he's just there to do his job and do it well... and as lazily as humanly possible. Like a more lawful and immediately fatal, but less smart, Shikamaru.
If you were given the chance to permanently become part of the Naruto-verse (as "yourself"), would you take it?: Only if I get to stop being sick, first. Sorry, kids, I'm not as much of a badass as Hayate.

Is there any character that you strongly would disagree with being voted as?: ... ... Sakura? *snickers*
