Name:Lindsey
What games would you like to include for possible options? (You may include up to two games or series!) Persona 4 Arena because this game has eaten my life
If the games/series you've chosen were previous themes who were you stamped as? Would you like to disclude them for the sake of variety? (Matchmakers can count too if you'd like.) Nope- this is my first post to this community, actually!
Would you prefer a male or a female partner? Or do you even have a preference? Either's fine with me!

Describe your personality: This is always a little difficult for me, so I'll leave these here since they're all accurate. Sorry if it's a bit much to read!

From personalDNA

You are a Generous Creator.

Your imagination, confidence, willingness to explore, and appreciation of beauty make you a CREATOR.
You are independent, and you enjoy your self-sufficiency.
Defying convention, you are very innovative, and you have a vivid imagination.
The look of things is important to you, and you have a keen eye for aesthetic beauty in multiple arenas.
You have a strong interest in what is new and exciting-and that includes forging ahead with new ideas, not simply discovering what is already out there.
Your eagerness to seek new and varied experiences leads you into many different situations.
You're not set on one way of doing things, and you are creative when it comes to finding novel solutions to complex problems.
You trust yourself to be innovative and resourceful.
Your confidence allows you to take your general awareness and channel it into creativity.
Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts
You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.
You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.
Appreciate the earthly, practical elements of things-there is beauty in form as well.
While you are good at thinking abstractly, focusing on details a bit more may help you discover things about the world.

Your awareness of those around you, along with your nuanced perceptions of the world at large, makes you the GENEROUS person that you are.
You value time to yourself and understand how rich your private world can be-you know that you don't have to go wild to have a good time.
You are excited and energized by ideas and often enjoy things more through observation than through experience.
This tendency gives you an appreciation for different perspectives and opinions about the world.
Being as aware of others as you are doesn't mean you find it easy to trust them immediately-this is something that happens more slowly for you.
Despite this, you are aware of the complexities of many situations and are reluctant to pass judgments on others.
Although you have fewer friendships than some people, those that you have are meaningful and are important to you.
You value spending time alone-it is while reflecting on the world around you that you often learn something new about yourself or begin to understand something that's been bothering you.
Given how attuned you are to others' thoughts and feelings, you might find that trusting people more is a way to broaden your perspective even further.
While you know how much can be learned from observing the world around you, remember that much of life can be lived by experiencing it, not just by understanding it.

INFJ

INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities.

INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ themself does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive.

But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress.

Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right. On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals.

INFJ is a natural nurturer; patient, devoted and protective. They make loving parents and usually have strong bonds with their offspring. They have high expectations of their children, and push them to be the best that they can be. This can sometimes manifest itself in the INFJ being hard-nosed and stubborn. But generally, children of an INFJ get devoted and sincere parental guidance, combined with deep caring.

In the workplace, the INFJ usually shows up in areas where they can be creative and somewhat independent. They have a natural affinity for art, and many excel in the sciences, where they make use of their intuition. INFJs can also be found in service-oriented professions. They are not good at dealing with minutia or very detailed tasks. The INFJ will either avoid such things, or else go to the other extreme and become enveloped in the details to the extent that they can no longer see the big picture. An INFJ who has gone the route of becoming meticulous about details may be highly critical of other individuals who are not.

The INFJ individual is gifted in ways that other types are not. Life is not necessarily easy for the INFJ, but they are capable of great depth of feeling and personal achievement.

Year of the Fire Rabbit

Rabbits, like their animal counterparts, are quite calm people who do not exhibit aggressive behavior and will avoid confrontation at all costs. When angry about something, a Rabbit will approach it calmly and considerately, hardly ever raising his voice or becoming visibly annoyed. Because of their serenity, Rabbits seem to miss things, whether they are confrontational in nature or not. However, the Rabbit is quite keen and pays close attention to the situations developing around him. He is intelligent and quick and can talk himself in or out of most situations with no problem.
Rabbits also like artistic ventures, such as painting and music and are generally quite present in these worlds. They love to express themselves.

Rabbits are private individuals, a bit introverted and withdrawn. People born into this sign would rather work behind-the-scenes instead of being the center of attention in any situation. Do not misunderstand…the Rabbit is not a recluse. In fact, he is a reasonably friendly individual who enjoys the company of a group of good friends whether at a business dinner or a holiday party. Rabbits just like to be a part of the gang as opposed to the leader of it.

Rabbits, although outgoing, are definitely not the leaders of the pack or the spotlight thieves. Rabbits just happen to be low-profile people. Perhaps this is because they tend to be rather picky about who they pal around with. Rabbits love their friends and offer them all a warm refuge and a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. They enjoy catching up and hanging out more than anything.

The Rabbit lover would never dream of wearing his heart on his sleeve. The Rabbit seems aloof, yet underneath is sensual and loving - a tough facade protects a tender interior. Rabbit folk are romantic yet realistic, generous yet mercenary. Their mothering instinct compels them to nurture others, and they have an innate love of home and family. They are deeply sensitive people who shun conflict. Rabbits tend to be a little moody and are sometimes influenced by the friends they have. At school, these children often get teased for being so sensitive and become branded crybabies by other boys and girls.

Fire adds an unspoken magnetism and mystery to the Rabbit. These creatures have a burning desire to get out there and live life to its fullest. They are active and adventurous and love anything that sparks their creativity or curiosity. They can throw tantrums here and there, if provoked, but most of the time they work very hard to avoid conflict or unpleasant confrontations. Fire Rabbits are charming and tend to push their emotions into the backs of their minds, but will speak up if necessary.
The Piscean Rabbit is quite a complex person. He is creative and will work best in relaxed, peaceful situations where his creativity can be explored and put to good measure.

Dreamy Idealist

Dreamy Idealists like you are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. You share your rich emotional life and your passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge you to be cool and reserved. You have a pronounced inner system of values and clear, honourable principles for which you are willing to sacrifice a great deal. Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad would have been good examples of your personality type. Dreamy Idealists are always at great pains to improve the world. You can be very considerate towards others and do a lot to support them and stand up for them. You are interested in your fellow beings, attentive and generous towards them. Once your enthusiasm for an issue or person is aroused, you can become a tireless fighter.

For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. You only busy yourself with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. You tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case so that you often have a very successful academic career. You are less interested in details; you prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that you still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that you overlook something important. As you are very peace-loving, you tend not to openly show your dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of your strong points; you hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has you as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise.

As a Dreamy Idealist you are one of the introverted personality types. Therefore you prefer a quiet work environment where you can intensively deal with your responsibilities and are not disturbed by too many people and repeated distractions. You need a lot of time to dwell on your thoughts, to put them into words, and let your ideas take shape. You are grateful for a certain measure of order and structure because they secure the time to achieve this so you can deal with one task after the other and not have to juggle a number of responsibilities at once - you don’t like that because it is important to you to deal with things thoroughly. Your capability to concentrate is unusually great and very often you become engrossed in something and forget everything around you - even to eat and drink.

Nevertheless, because you are very adaptable, congenial and interested in harmony and cooperation, you enjoy working together with others. A neighborhood that requires the ability to assert yourself and where direct confrontations are the order of the day is not your optimal environment. In order to permit you to fully develop your ability you need an environment that is as stress free as possible. If you can’t get that you soon suffer, because you take critique and negative feedback very personally.

You enjoy the opportunity for exchanges with other people you value and whose capabilities you respect but in this case remember the motto: Better less than more; better a few “hand picked” colleagues who truly move on your wavelength. It is best when you share the same high ideals and important objectives and together can fight for the same good cause because then you are truly in your element. If that is not the case, you do better by largely working by yourself because you belong to the personality types who can do that very well and don't necessarily have to depend on others in order to come up with good results.

Positive Traits: Confident, good-humored, intelligent, creative, inventive, imaginative, adventurous, determined, resourceful, patient, kind, intuitive, empathetic, cheerful, earnest, unflappable
Negative Traits: Stubborn, sensitive, obsessive, secretive, moody, competitive, passive, distrustful, internalized, sickly, occasionally unrealistic, overly impulsive with money/careful with health, sometimes socially awkward

Think back to the last time you worked well with someone. Why did the two of you work? I can work very well with people who are eager about what we're doing and willing to listen to my ideas. I listen to my coworkers' ideas and concerns, as well, and let things shape up from there. If we just click and have a similar goal in mind then we can do some great things! I tend to work independently so I do like to have a little free space even when working with others to do stuff by myself on occasion, but as long as I have that I'm fine. I do enjoy the company of others and try to be considerate of their needs as well, though!
I guess this also bears mentioning- I tend to end up mediating in a bigger group and not having a whole ton of input until later on since I let everyone else throw their thoughts out there first instead. Anything that needs to be worked out (either personally since people are clashing, or there are too many ideas on the table to mull over) I let happen first, and then if I have something to add I say it a bit later in.
And now let's hear the negative experiences. Why didn't you two work? Last time that happened is because she was asserting her authority too hard and being nasty, and not actually doing much. I cannot work with people who are overbearing or just horribly negative. If someone doesn't listen to my input at all in a group situation I just sort of go off and do something myself. I honestly didn't mind that I ended up doing most of the work by myself, since we really weren't working well together, haha. Only that she took the credit for doing it. :/

The people you prefer working with tend to be more...
Mature or Immature: Mature in general. I guess I could work with someone who acts immature at times, as long as it's not constant and they behave maturely when the situation is serious. Definitely not immature if by that you mean someone who is emotionally so- for example, if they are overly petty about minor disagreements and have a hissy fit, then refuse to work together with me until they're done being irritable. But otherwise I do like to goof off at times myself, so we don't have to be serious *all* the time. :P
Leader or Follower: I don't like pushy people who expect me to do what they say, but I also don't want to feel that way to my partner and I dislike being bossy. I guess just someone I can see eye-to-eye with, not necessarily either a leader or follower.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Optimistic. I can't be around wet blankets too long if we're trying to work on something together and they don't think it'll succeed.
Impulsive or Cautious: I like people who are sort of subtly cautious- that is, they can be impulsive and a tad reckless but also aware of what they are doing in the long run, and not so much that they go and mess everything up that we're working on.
Outgoing or Shy: I can work well with either. I like hanging out with outgoing people because we can have a ton of fun together, but I'm also good at reading people so I understand shyer people as well, even if they aren't being open about their emotions. I think I actually might lean toward a person who is more on the introverted side but still fairly outgoing since that's more how I function emotionally, too, and I feel that we both get each other much better that way. Someone who doesn't always share everything going through their head, but who's still emotive externally. But I guess I'm a bit of both myself so I can go either way!
Also, I find it difficult to be directly confrontational, so I appreciate working with someone who can be.

What kind of impression do you want to give your partner when you first meet?: That I'm able to hold my own well and a capable fighter, that I'm generally a pleasant person, and that we're capable of doing a great job together. I would hope I come across as confident in my abilities, dependable, and fun to work with.
...And what kind of an impression would you want to have of them?: That they're eager and ready to go, that they're also strong and willing to fight with me, and just that we can get along in general. I'd want to team up with someone who is trustworthy, shares the same goals, and who would enjoy fighting by my side.
What sort of fighting style do you think you'd have? Would you want your tag partner to have a similar fighting style or do you like a bit of a contrast from you? ...Or does it even matter to you? I'd lean more toward the special attack/speed side since I am not in the best physical condition, and I also think those styles would suit me very nicely. Actually, in fighting games I'm best at Confusion Fu style characters, whose attacks focus on messing with the other player and who use odd movements and having some range as their main characteristics, if that says anything. Maybe a bit weak on both the offensive and defensive side but who have the movement range and skills to make up for it, and who don't rely entirely on distance or setting traps. That sounds about right for me.
I think having a different fighting style that can sort of mesh well with each other and cover each other's weaknesses would give us a lot of coverage and allow us to take the most people down. I would definitely need someone who can do more melee/physical attacks to cover me in that area, probably with good physical attack and/or defense stats also, and in turn I'd be great at more unusual skills to compliment them well.
In tag-based fighting games, there's usually some sort of special team attack. What do you think your attack with your partner would look like? Ooh~ I think it'd be awesome if we combined our abilities and unleashed a devastating attack! Maybe a little bit on the flashy side but not too much so. :P
Why do you think your partner would even team up with you in the first place? Do they just like you or does the idea of fame and fortune entice them? I think we'd probably have some sort of common goal from the outset if we're both in the tournament for a cause. Or maybe we're just buddies who like fighting together, haha.
Would it be necessary for you and your partner to see eye-to-eye on everything?: Not everything, but at least the main reason why we entered in the first place! If we disagree on something very important (either ideal or goal-wise) I don't think we could be partners, or if we just disagree with each other in general. But yeah, a few smaller things don't matter as much.
So you've won the tournament... Congratulations! Do you and your partner stay friends afterwards, do you both just go your own way... Or were you maybe rivals that were putting your differences behind just for this event? I don't think I could team up with someone who I didn't at least like enough to want to stay friends with afterward! Hopefully we'd at least be on good terms with each other, and stay in contact.

Are there any characters you don't want as a partner? (You may pick up to three characters.) Nope, anyone's fine.
Anything else you'd like to add? This theme is awesome! I hope to partake in this community more often, it looks like a pretty cool place. :3 Thank you for voting!
