http://community.livejournal.com/bebop_ratings/34879.html#cutid1

The Basics:

Name: Alice
Age: 18
Gender: female

About You:

Likes:
The smell of smoke and petrol,cult films,cancelled lessons,mahjong,hair spray,asian films,youtube,art,travelling into London,christmas,reading,washing blood off in the rain(no,really...),hot chocolate,rain,getting packages in the mail,debates,sleep,listening to and playing music obnoxiously loud,having money,phoenix wright,french literature,arguments,black jeans
Dislikes:
When someone doesn't hold the door open for you but could obviously see you coming,people who act idiotic on purpose,chronic liars,extreme religion,those with extremely close minds,being talked to in a condescending tone,losing/misplacing things,rudeness,queues,losing to someone else,the underground/subway,Miyavi (ho shit I just went there *snap snap*),being woken up too early
Hobbies: reading,writing,painting/drawing,parties,seeing live music
Strong Points:
I am completely independent.I can get things done and sorted on my own,as well as to a high standard.I am intelligent,creative and inventive so a lot of the time I don't actually have to put much time or effort into something for it to look good.Work in that respect comes very easy to me.However (this should really be put in my weaknesses section),I often act stubborn and irrationally towards receiving any help, even though it might be the more intelligent option.

I would class myself as intelligent as I said before, and can come up with decisions or plans on the spot.I am a very quick thinker in that respect, my mind is always turned on.
I have a very persistent and determined personality.If I have an idea, I will make sure I see it through until the end.Even if it's wrong (which I then probably wouldn't admit to anyway.) So in that respect I am also quite ambitious, I like to push the boundries.I therefore have a very open minded and progressive outlook on life, and will try anything.I will speak my opinions even if they offend as I feel it's important to make people aware you wont be controlled and that you have your own thoughts.

I sometimes can be extremely loving.I will do anything in my power to protect and defend those few people who I love and have stuck with me through all the crap.Those who have believed in me are closest to my heart.
Weak Points:
Having ridiculously high standards as I do proves a problem.A lot of the time even I can't satisfy my own standards, so it is very difficult for other people to do so.Whilst I can accept that someone has done their best I always expect a level of work from someone else of which I could achieve myself.Which does make me rather frustrated, leaving me to become very angry with people often for no good reason.

I am a complete perfectionist. I believe that anything less then what I consider to be perfect,is completely unacceptable. Which,yes in a sense is a good thing as it can drive you to do your very best.However,it can deeply hinder you as well. As I have found out on numerous occasions.It also makes me appear to have a rather large ego and come across as arrogant.Which I know are bad traits, but do not necessarily bother me as I have better things to worry about.

I am also extremely self-destructive. Sometimes when a piece of work isn't up the the standard I intended,I will gladly rip it to shreds rather than give it in despite the amount of time spent on it.This obviously relates to the perfectionism as well.If one little thing is wrong with something I usually act as if it's the end of the world.

I also have very much two sides to my personality.One that everyone sees,and one that well...people would be horrified to know about.Which is probably the real me.I am very sadistic and vulgar.Which I have come to terms with but will never admit to anyone else.Infact I become deeply offended if it's even suggested.

Yourself in three words: uninterested,skilled,cunning

This or That:

Leader or Follower: leader
Outgoing or Shy: Comfortably in the middle
Idealistic or Realistic: Realistic
Low, Medium, or High Energy: Low-Medium
Collected or Emotional: Collected
Impulsive or Cautious: Impulsive
Mature or Immature: Maa...it wavers between the two often.I know when to be mature and can easily switch it on.

Situational Questions:

Do you think you would have ever joined the Red Dragon syndicate? Probably, though I most likely would of tried to escape from that lifestyle rather quickly.

Would you most likely be a bounty hunter, bounty head, syndicate member, ISSP officer, normal citizen, or other (please explain)? Bounty hunter probably.I need to be free to do as I want.We all have different dreams and you need to be allowed to follow them.

Your partner gives you the heads up that there’s a bounty in your area worth a whopping 100 million woolongs. You make your way to the site only to find that your prospective bounty is someone you once loved in your past. What do you do?

Note the word 'once'.If the money was that important or needed, I doubt I would think twice in doing all I could to get the money.Of course it depends on the terms of 'once'.Once could mean I loved them at one time but they went nutty so I left, once could mean they dumped me and therefore I could still have feelings towards them, once could mean I had feelings for them whilst I still thought they were alive but somewhere along the line something terrible happened....It really depends on the situation and the extent of the relationship.

Miscellaneous:

Favorite Character and why: Andy~ I don't know why really as his sort of character would normally really annoy me.But, I infact adore him.I kind of want to push him off his horse.I also like Vicious and Spike too.
Least Favorite Character and why: Maa...I could see myself and Faye clashing a lot.Doesn't mean I hate her,but I suppose I like her the least.
Anything else? No, oh actually could I please have a male vote this time around? I apolagise for putting this in now, but I just remembered this second.

</lj-cut>

First of all, some of the song descriptions were taken off the internet, and others were made by me, so apologies if you find them corny or exaggerated. @_@

Adieu- A soft romantic melody that describes the end of a love. Evoking a smiling yet tragic figure standing alone.
In 3 words: Romantic, melancholic, emotional.

Ask DNA - The opening to the Bebop movie, it accepts life’s issues with a cynical smile.
In 3 words-Innovative, nonchalant, frank.

Bad Dog, No Biscuits- An upbeat jazz song that is reminiscent of a chase down a crowded street.
In 3 words: Fun, energetic, chaotic.

Blue - The song of impossible possibilities, it challenges the boundaries and encourages self-discovery.
In 3 words: Solitary, freedom, independent

Call Me, Call Me - Heard in the end of “Hard Luck Woman”, this song speaks of a longing to make a connection.
In 3 words-Expressive, incompleteness, sensitive.

Cats on Mars- Quirky and clearly different, this song perhaps is best suited for the animated, much like the Bebop’s resident hacker.
In 3 words: Unexpected, oddball, contented.

Cosmic Dare (Pretty with a Pistol) - Synonymous with the Bebop’s female bounty hunter, this song is brazen and independent.
In 3 words- Sassy, confident, go-getter.

Digging my Potato- Reminiscent of a melody to accompany a hard day of working
In 3 words: Earnest, hardworking, straightforward.

The Egg and I - The lifting sounds of this song are slightly whimsical and always original.
In 3 word: Light-hearted, youthful, spirited.

Go Go Cactus Man - A tongue-in cheek reference to the spaghetti western music of Ennio Morricone, the song is used in a comedic fashion in the scenes involving Spike and Andy.
In 3 words: Comical, clever, entertaining.

Green Bird - A sweet and calm melody that manages to be powerful and poignant despite it’s softness.
In 3 words: Sweet, elegant, gentle.

Live In Baghdad - Forceful and perhaps a bit perplexing, but what else would you expect from a song with the opening line “Ever eaten crabtree?”
In 3 words- Disordered, unconventional, individual.

Piano Black- A decidedly mechanical sound with rhythmic and melodic components.
In 3 words: Simple, balanced, distinct.

Pushing the Sky - An aggressive rock beat drives this song of dangerous risks and self-assured conviction.
In 3 words: Aggressive, stamina, daring.

Rain- A song of questioning and doubt, the song is first heard in the episode “Ballad of Fallen Angels”.
In 3 words: Uncertainty, inner-struggle, quiet strength.

The Real Folk Blues - The jazzy feel only enhances the impression of melancholy that this lamentation gives.
In 3 words- Melancholic, reflective, emotive.

Road to the West - A nostalgic memory driven by emotions and an endless dream.
In 3 words: Poetic, outsider, tender.

Rush- Driving and swift, it’s slightly erratic, yet controlled; much like our favorite bounty hunter.
In 3 words: Dynamic, stimulating, contradictory.

Tank! - The musical definition of the series, the song epitomizes a “cool” vibe that grabs your attention.
In 3 words: Bold, careless, cool.

Yo Pumpkin Head - A definite party song, it’s all about having a good time and not being ashamed of it.
In 3 words: Fun, upbeat, carefree.

Age: 19
Gender: Feeeemale

About You:

Likes: Videogames, family, friends, conventions, humor, big cities, shounen anime/manga, cosplay, Chinese food, animals, drawing, writing, music, singing, acting, fanfiction, designing/customizing things, crazy spastic anime/manga, helping people, making people laugh, photography, talking, rainbows, crazy people, anything vanilla, making videos, traveling, Youtube Poop videos

Dislikes: Being talked down to, being told what to do, reality TV, stress, school/homework, being depressed, being alone, having people mad at me, feeling confined or stuck in one place, having no control over what I want to do, selfish people, people who think they know everything

Hobbies: Drawing, writing, singing, making graphics, trying to play the guitar, being weird
Strong Points: Creative, helpful, loyal, friendly, trustworthy, desire to be independent, doesn't really care what others think of myself, curious
Weak Points: Worrier, not very "book smart", emotional, jumps to conclusions, obsessive, doesn't take stuff seriously
Yourself in three words: Different, crazy, creatiiiive

This or That:

Leader or Follower: I CAN go either way, but I would rather be a leader. I don't like feeling controlled.
Outgoing or Shy: Outgoing, friendly when I meet people because I like meeting new people
Idealistic or Realistic: A mixture of both, I think. I'm mostly idealistic when it comes to life and my dreams for the future. But I do have some common sense (at least I like to think so xD)
Low, Medium, or High Energy: Pretty high energy. I have to have something to do ALL THE TIME. I really hate being bored and stuck in the house.
Collected or Emotional: Emotional. VERY emotional
Impulsive or Cautious: Cautious because I'm slow at making decisions. I can easily see both sides of things.
Mature or Immature: Immature most of the time. I can be mature if it's really necessary but I just like being myself. And I'm not a serious person :B

Situational Questions:

Do you think you would have ever joined the Red Dragon syndicate? No, probably not xD It's a group that's difficult to escape once you're in and it would conflict with my not wanting to feel controlled. And there's the whole assassin thing. I would be the worst assassin EVER.

Would you most likely be a bounty hunter, bounty head, syndicate member, ISSP officer, normal citizen, or other (please explain)? Probably a bounty hunter. It's exciting and fast paced. And you get to travel places chasing people down, and that's always fun xD

Your partner gives you the heads up that there’s a bounty in your area worth a whopping 100 million woolongs. You make your way to the site only to find that your prospective bounty is someone you once loved in your past. What do you do? Uhh... that's tough. But if what they did was that serious and people were getting hurt, I don't think I'd have much of a choice. I might turn them in. I'd have some MAJOR conflict though.

Miscellaneous:

Favorite Character and why: Spike and Ed tie. Ed because she's crazy nuts and Spike because he's just AWESOME. I love guys like him.
Least Favorite Character and why: Um... I don't think I have a least favorite. xD Maybe Vicious. He's kind of an ass.
Anything else? noooooooope!

REAPPLY, Space Cowboy~

STOP! Give me the links to three applications you have voted on (if there are applications available)
1. http://community.livejournal.com/bebop_ratings/34250.html
There's only one.

The Basics:

Name: SK.
Age: 18.
Gender: F.

About You:

Likes: Anime, manga, drawing, laptops, computers, my friends and family, music, dragons, cats, throwing out witty remarks, teasing people, scaring people, giving nicknames, karaoke, singing, video games like Phoenix Wright and The World Ends With You, trenchcoats, making people laugh, yaoi, yuri, hentai, RPGs, roleplaying, winning, sleeping in, relaxing, the interwebz.
Dislikes: Celery, stress, insects (especially bees), loud noises, harsh lights, bad grades, aches and illnesses, people suffering, whiners, liars, boredom, large crowds, being accused, needles, idealism, dark alleys, bees, being told I'm wrong, people who condescend or insult me, other people's advice, strict rules, having no power in a matter, childish people, idiots, loud noises, stupidity, changing plans, not knowing something, naive people, being ignored purposely, being bothered while I'm focused, being a burden (so I try to be as individualistic as possible and stand up on my own), debating/public speaking, conflict.
Hobbies: Internet surfing, video games, playing the violin, drawing, reading, watching TV, collecting figures and other anime-related stuff.
Strong Points: Dependable, calm (normally, anyway), logical, intelligent, individualistic, loyal, mature, opinionated, polite, attentive, protecting, thinker, introverted, witty, reason-finder, complex, reflective, caring, observant, analytical, realistic, cunning, strategic, diplomat.
Weak Points: I'm VERY obsessive, teasing, critical, blunt, cynical, sarcastic, loner-ish, withdrawn, insecure, gloomy/angsty at times, paranoid, smug, sardonic, stubborn on some things while submissive on others, tense, conflict-avoider, distant, secretive, cold, two-faced, pessimistic, kinda bossy sometimes, conclusion-jumper, curious, eccentric, overdramatic, dork, lazy, seemingly uncaring/apathetic, nerdy.
Yourself in three words: Idiosyncratic, logical, obsessive.

This or That:

Leader or Follower: I can be both, depending on the situation or if I choose to step up to the plate or not, because I am capable of being a leader. But sometimes I just do things on my own, or prefer to work in the background, as it's less work than leading. I can be kinda lazy sometimes...and being a leader can be stressful, too~
Outgoing or Shy: I don't like calling it "shy", but I'm certainly more reserved overall. Even so I'm more outgoing when around people I love. I have a serious side and a playful side...
Idealistic or Realistic: Definitely realistic.
Low, Medium, or High Energy: I'd say...low-medium, yet it can be high at times, too.
Collected or Emotional: Collected most of the time, yet I can be emotional. I just tend to show my emotions more to a few people I know and trust, or just keep my problems to myself.
Impulsive or Cautious: Cautious. I'm quite the thinker before barging into anything.
Mature or Immature: People say I'm mature, but everyone has their moments.

Situational Questions:

Do you think you would have ever joined the Red Dragon syndicate? Probably not.

Would you most likely be a bounty hunter, bounty head, syndicate member, ISSP officer, normal citizen, or other (please explain)? I'd probably be the person you go to if you need info, as I'd be typing away on the comp and have easy access to the internet.

Your partner gives you the heads up that there’s a bounty in your area worth a whopping 100 million woolongs. You make your way to the site only to find that your prospective bounty is someone you once loved in your past. What do you do? So, I don't love them now? I'd say go for it.

Miscellaneous:

Favorite Character and why: I like Ed, Vicious and Spike. Weird combination, eh? The first was just my favorite character when I first watched it because of her quirkiness. The second is because he's so badass. The third...also because he's so badass.
Least Favorite Character and why: Dunno.
Anything else? No, not really.

"Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping... waiting... And though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank... Without passion, we'd be truly dead."

"You aren't even grateful, are you?"

You've upset someone with a post you made, how do you react? Well, depending on whether or not I think they're overreacting (like if it was a post about my opinion on a tv show or something or if it was about some serious, debatable topic) I'd either tell them to chill out or I'd apologize to them, saying I was merely stating an opinion and that I didn't mean to offend anyone.
Now you've upset someone in real life, a friend of yours. How do you react? I'd probably immediately apologize and tell them I didn't mean to make them upset.

Gender: f

About You:

Likes: lets see... i love my kitties & my fiancee. i like baking and crafting of any kind- i like to create things.
Dislikes:ignorant people.
Hobbies:crafting & baking & interneting.
Strong Points:im organized, creative, loyal, loving, moral (but i have my own set of codes & priorities that may seem strange but make sense to me)
Weak Points:im kind of selfish, self-destructive through laziness, & i have a pretty negative view of humanity on a whole
Yourself in three words: i am robin? (lame, i know)

This or That:

Leader or Follower: neither. i do my own thing, & if people happen to follow, that’s their mistake.
Outgoing or Shy:shy unless im being blatantly wronged, in which case i will speak up, & quite loudly.
Idealistic or Realistic:i think you need a bit of both to keep sane. lately ive been idealistic, with the realism creaping in when im not paying attention.
Low, Medium, or High Energy: medium. low engergy- nothing gets done. high energy- just too much for me to handle

Mature or Immature:mature. end of story.

Situational Questions:

Do you think you would have ever joined the Red Dragon syndicate?no...maybe...i dont know. it would depend on the benefits, and if my lifestyle was kind of crazy to begin with.

Would you most likely be a bounty hunter, bounty head, syndicate member, ISSP officer, normal citizen, or other (please explain)? bounty hunter. id love to run around in a spaceship (with my kitties of course!) catching criminals, but doing it my way! I always think I’d make a good cop. i think of sneaky ways to catch people, but I dont want to be an officer, I’d rather work for myself. I like to be my own boss.

Your partner gives you the heads up that there’s a bounty in your area worth a whopping 100 million woolongs. You make your way to the site only to find that your prospective bounty is someone you once loved in your past. What do you do? shit, its once loved. not currently loving. they must have done something not to deserve my love anymore, so if i can make money off the ass I sure as hell would.

Miscellaneous:

Favorite Character and why:Julia. because she is a ho.
Least Favorite Character and why: Ein because he is adorable & probably the smartest one onboard BeBop.
Anything else?::shrug:: nah. only that bebop rocks and is like the only anime i still like after all these years.
