Hobbies: videogames, reading, talking on skype/the phone, organizing stuff (it's so sad, but so true.).
Positive traits: accepting, easy-going/laid-back, intelligent, empathetic, creative, reasonable.
Negative traits: stubborn, impatient, impractical, late, bad at commitment, lazy, opinionated, easily distracted, inability to be succinct (I'm sure you haven't noticed.).
Likes: Music, Thai food, sushi, shopping, shrimp, sunshine, Star Wars, time spent with friends, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, MST3K, photographs . . . you know, I like too many things.
Dislikes: rain, uptight people, salad, snow, Twilight, misogynism/sexism, naps
Favorite animal: Don't have one.
What type of people are you generally attracted to? People who are witty/clever, are good at long abstract discussions, people who are genuinely nice, people who aren't too serious, people who are laid-back, nerdy people. Oh, did you mean romantically? Um. I guess it's the same.
Whats your ultimate goal? I'd tell you if I had one, but I don't.
Whats your biggest fear? It's kinda special . . . being a mother.
Are you a risk taker? Sure.
How do you take losing? Depends on the effort expended, and who I'm losing to. Mostly I take it in stride.
Do you have any role model(s)? If so who? & why? I tried so hard, so long to find 'irl' people that were role models to answer these questions, but . . . I'd say Dana Scully from the X-Files (omg I'm so nerdy and it's so true), (Princess) Leia Organa Solo, Captain Kirk, Eowyn (from Lord of the Rings). I feel sufficiently nerdy now.
Favorite quote(s) (doesn't have to be from ME): "There is nothing that cannot be solved over green tea ice cream." (It's a fortune I got from a cookie at a restaurant.)
Are you usually optimistic or pessimistic? Optimistic (see first question). A quiz once told me I was an idealistic realist, and I found that amusing.
Do usually think about the result of a long run or a short run? Short run, mostly, I suppose.
Loner or teammate? Well, I wouldn't call myself a loner, exactly, but I'd call myself a teammate even less.
Playful or serious? Playful. What is this serious you speak of? (I can be serious, though, if the situation warrants it.)
Logic or intuition? Both; I'm very logical and intuitive. They aren't mutually exclusive . . .
Feared or loved? Loved, for sure.
Listen or speak? Equal amounts of both?
Forgiving or vengeful? Forgiving, I find vengeance to be too much work and unpleasant all around.
Describe your...
Aggression (submissive,competitive, ect.): Can aggression be submissive? Um. Assertive.
Dependability: Great when it comes to abstract things (especially with people I care about) like advice/help; otherwise, not terribly dependable. Much better than I used to be . . .
Sociability (talkative, shy, talk when you need to, ect.): I'm quite talkative but I have a reserve period where I gauge how I should speak/what I should/shouldn't say. I've accidentally been sarcastic with people and they've taken me completely seriously and it's awkward; I try to avoid that. I'm wonderful at being awkward.
Maturity: I'm as mature as I am? I'm not sure, I don't think about it often. I'm not immature, though.
Physical appearance (you can put a picture but its optional): er. 5'2", long-ish red hair, medium-fair complexion, fairly slim. Too lazy to upload a picture. I'm mildly vain about my appearance, I'll admit, although I feel awfully bitchy whenever I do admit that.
What color armor does your Shepard typically/would wear? Hah. Depends on the color of her hair . . . but on my main I usually have red. Of course, her hair is red . . .
What weapon do you use the most? The best shotgun is available; I don't like the Claymore that much, though, too much time to reload.
Increased weapon damage or health? Weapon damage.
Weapons, biotic, or tech? Biotic & weapons; although tech is fun too.
Paragon or renegade? Paragon -- I have genuinely tried to be renegade, but I'm terrible at it.
Follower or leader? Neither! Hah! Um. I dislike being a leader, but I'll do it if no one else will . . . I'm not a terribly good follower.
Soldier,Mercenary, or freelancer? Soldier.
How do you feel about the council? *sigh* I really thought that if I saved them at the end of ME1 that it would jeopardize the fleet's ability to defeat sovereign; so I didn't save them the first time around. After I saw the negative results (increased xenophobia towards humans, etc.) in the second game, though, I save them now, as annoying as they can be, since now I know I can save them and still defeat Sovereign.
How do you feel about Cerberus? Strong dislike and distaste.
If you could be any race in the Mass effect universe what would it be? Why? I don't mind being human . . . Turian would be cool, um. Asari are too hypersexualized. Can't think of another.
If you could live anywhere in the ME universe where would you live? I loved Feros so much, the skyway and all the ruins were so beautiful. So there, now that there's no mind-controlling plant nearby.
Who's your favorite ME character? Why? Garrus and Miranda -- they're both my favorite in different ways; before ME2, though, it was just Garrus. <3 I'm really randomly fond of Kahoku, too.
Who's your most hated Me character? Why? I really don't care for Liara, she's got this weird Lolita-type thing going on . . . but I don't hate her, exactly. During long (insanity) fights, Harbinger because he never shuts the hell up. I guess I'll go with the Illusive Man because he's pretty damn annoying.
Anything else you would like to add? Apologies that I am obsessive about qualification and can't answer anything with a short answer.
Would you like your name to be put on the banner? Don't care. Sure.
