  <title>Lend me the power of the Seal (x2)</title>
  <link>http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/3344.html</link>
  <description>Hello! We&apos;re twin sisters sharing a LJ account &lt;s&gt;because we&apos;re lazy&lt;/s&gt;, so we hope it&apos;s okay if we post our applications together. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Breyzy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 24&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zodiac Sign:&lt;/b&gt; Libra (Western) and Boar/Pig (Chinese)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Quote and/or Lyric:&lt;/b&gt; &amp;gt;  &quot;We’re just living so that one day we can die laughing.&quot;--Gojyo, &lt;i&gt;Saiyuki&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~I just really like that quote.  I think that that’s the way life should be lived.  I haven’t quite gotten to that point myself, but I’m working on it. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Anime, manga, books, games, movies, music (J-Pop/J-Rock and alternative), writing, and nice people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Mean/rude people...and when people get into my personal space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strong points:&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m very determined and stubborn. Once I set my mind to a goal, I don&apos;t stop until I finish it. I like helping people out for the most part, but I don&apos;t like feeling like I&apos;m being taken advantage of. I&apos;m also very independent, which I think can be both a good and a bad thing since it means I don&apos;t rely on others, even if I might need to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weak points:&lt;/b&gt; I can get jealous easily and I don&apos;t trust people very readily. Even the people I&apos;m closest to I don&apos;t trust fully. It takes a lot to get me mad, but once I&apos;ve reached a &quot;boiling point&quot; I tend to get REALLY angry and I find it really hard to forgive someone who has made me mad. I also have this tendency to keep my inner thoughts and feelings inside without voicing them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; Pretty much what I listed in my Dislikes.  I also have this tendency to get annoyed with people who instantly write others off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Lolz, what I listed in my Likes pretty much.  I also make icons and stuff, but I wouldn’t say they were particularly great.  O_O&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; I can memorize song lyrics really fast and I have this tendency to laugh most things off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your biggest fear:&lt;/b&gt; Not being able to make people proud of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m more of a realist than anything, but if I had to pick between the two extremes in reality I&apos;m probably slightly more pessimistic. HOWEVER, I&apos;m not against faking being optimistic to make people around me feel good. Sometimes I joke around just to make others laugh. I hate seeing people uncomfortable or upset and if there&apos;s anything I can do to help, I will...despite what I&apos;m thinking inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Impulsive or cautious?&lt;/b&gt; I have my cautious side, but overall I’m more impulsive (especially if it’s something that’s just going to concern me).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or immature?&lt;/b&gt; For the most part, I’m mature...we all have our immature sides though, don’t we?  :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extroverted or introverted?&lt;/b&gt; I’m introverted for about five seconds when I’m first getting to know someone, but I can’t stand silence for too long so I become extroverted pretty quick!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Outgoing or shy? &lt;/b&gt; I can be shy if I don’t know the person, but I’m more outgoing than anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotional or collected?&lt;/b&gt; Emotional DEPENDING on the situation.  I like to keep my emotions in check in public though, so I’m mostly collected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Predictable or unpredictable?&lt;/b&gt; Hnn...that’s tough since I don’t mind being either depending on my mood.  I guess I fall into predictable though!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patient or impatient?&lt;/b&gt; Lolz, impatient when it comes to most things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Confident or modest?&lt;/b&gt; Modest with a hint of confidence.  I’m not really one or the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Realistic or dreamer?&lt;/b&gt; Realistic.  Dreaming is fine and all, but we have to live in reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Logical or intuitive?&lt;/b&gt; Depends.  Sometimes I like looking at things with logic, but other times I think being intuitive is more beneficial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rude or polite?&lt;/b&gt; If I know someone, I can be rude with them...but, I’m usually polite with people I don’t know very well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Determined or passive?&lt;/b&gt; Determined, definitely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dominant or submissive?&lt;/b&gt; ...I could be both, but I guess I prefer to be dominant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or follower?&lt;/b&gt; Leader.  I tend to find myself forced into the leader role even if I don’t want to be one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compassionate or just?&lt;/b&gt; Compassionate unless someone has REALLY ticked me off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What color do you think relates most to you and why?&lt;/b&gt; Raven-black, because it’s dark at first glance but when light shines on it it turns into a really pretty purple.  I can come across as a very different person when people are first getting to know me, but once I feel comfortable around people the &quot;real me&quot; starts to be visible.  &lt;s&gt;Wow, that sounded really corny.&lt;/s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can you put your trust in people?&lt;/b&gt; I very rarely do, honestly.  I’d have to respect them A LOT before that even becomes an option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you prefer working with a group or alone?&lt;/b&gt; I prefer working alone.  I can do both, but I don’t like feeling like I have to rely on others too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What&apos;s most important to you?&lt;/b&gt; My family and friends...and my freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why?&lt;/b&gt; Envy.  I can get jealous very easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you don&apos;t relate to at all and why?&lt;/b&gt; Gluttony.  I’m not sure why...it’s just something I don’t see myself relating to much!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Number one goal in life:&lt;/b&gt; To just be happy, honestly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; I loved Rikuson, so I guess I’ll go with him for this one even though I loved most of the characters.  His character just really had an interesting progression through the series…and even when he drove me crazy I still liked him somewhat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Ryuubi.  He just annoyed me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Kannei.  I just found his character really interesting for some reason.  :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What kingdom would you belong in and why?&lt;/b&gt; Go, I guess?  None of them seem super pleasant to live in, but Go seemed like a place that normal people might be able to live somewhat peacefully in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it?&lt;/b&gt; Maybe.  It would depend on the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links to the open applications on which you have voted on:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/2206.html&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/2206.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/3076.html&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/3076.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post one or two pictures of yourself behind an LJ-cut. Describe your appearance if you have no photos.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/breyzyyin/pic/0020qagb&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/breyzyyin/pic/0020rrck&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;***&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid2&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Yin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 24&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zodiac Sign:&lt;/b&gt; My western sign is Libra, and I’m a Boar in the Chinese Zodiac. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Quote and/or Lyric:&lt;/b&gt; &quot;Even if the rest of the world forgets, I’ll always remember: your face, your voice...your warmth.&quot;--Edward Elric, &lt;i&gt;FullMetal Alchemist&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~It’s been a while since I heard this quote, so it might not be entirely accurate...I just really love the sentiment behind its message—there is sadness and a sense of loss, but there is also a sense of being able to move on and of hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Anime, manga, fantasy novels, video games (especially RPGs), daydreaming, cute things, and kind people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Character/couple bashing (even if I disagree with someone’s point of view, I like remaining open minded and respectful of their opinions), unnecessary fights, and people who are intentionally cruel to others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strong points:&lt;/b&gt; I try to see the good in everyone and live by the policy of &quot;forgive and forget,&quot; I hardly ever get jealous of other people, I’m understanding, and I try to avoid conflict if at all possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weak points:&lt;/b&gt; I’m incredibly shy and withdrawn around other people, and I don’t really have a lot of confidence in my own abilities. I tend to worry about things that I have no control over, and I can be a bit immature and childish at times. I’d probably much rather run away from problems than simply deal with them head-on, and I can be really naïve (my family and friends will often tell me that I don’t act with common sense).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; Pretty much all of my dislikes.  Also, the word &quot;constructive&quot; is a strange pet peeve of mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Watching anime, reading manga/fantasy novels, playing video games (especially RPGs), and writing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; I’ve been told that I write fairly well...unfortunately, I have a bad habit of never being able to finish any of the stories that I try to get down on paper before jumping to the next one. *sweatdrops*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your biggest fear:&lt;/b&gt; Being completely and utterly rejected the second I try to open up and share what I’m really thinking and feeling with someone I care about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; I’d rather see the silver lining to things, so I guess I’m more of an optimist at heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Impulsive or cautious?&lt;/b&gt; It can depend on the situation, but I think I tend to be more cautious since I’m always worrying about things anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or immature?&lt;/b&gt; It can sometimes really depend on the situation, but I guess overall I’d probably say that I act more immature at times...mainly because I can get very childlike in certain circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extroverted or introverted?&lt;/b&gt; Introverted.  I’m someone that could easily be described as being shy and withdrawn for the most part.  It’s not that I really dislike people or anything of that sort...I’m just not very comfortable interacting with others, and I’ll often worry about embarrassing myself in front of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Outgoing or shy? &lt;/b&gt; Very, very shy...I don’t really dislike people or anything, I just have a really hard time getting the confidence I need to talk to others comfortably.  It’s something I need to work on, but it’s a trait that’s really hard to change.  I’m able to be a bit more open around family and close friends though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotional or collected?&lt;/b&gt; It’s hard for me to separate a situation from my emotions, even when I know it’s sometimes best to do so...so I guess I’m more emotional for the most part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Predictable or unpredictable?&lt;/b&gt; Most likely rather predictable.  I imagine that once someone has gotten to know me a bit, they can probably figure out how I’m going to react to a certain situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patient or impatient?&lt;/b&gt; Again, it kind of depends on the situation.  Sometimes I can be extremely patient...but other times I’m really impatient.  It’s odd. 0_0;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Confident or modest?&lt;/b&gt; Modest.  I don’t really have too much confidence in myself, to be honest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Realistic or dreamer?&lt;/b&gt; A dreamer.  I always seem to have my head in the clouds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Logical or intuitive?&lt;/b&gt; Depends.  I can be logical in some situations, but intuitive in others.  I might follow my instincts more if something feels really off to me though, for the most part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rude or polite?&lt;/b&gt; Polite.  I’ve been told that I’m too polite on more than one occasion, actually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Determined or passive?&lt;/b&gt;  Oddly determined when it comes to some things, exceedingly passive when it comes to others.  It’s a bit strange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dominant or submissive?&lt;/b&gt; Submissive.  I don’t really like to try and force my views and such on others, and I like to avoid conflict if I can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or follower?&lt;/b&gt; A follower, definitely...I’d constantly be worried about making the wrong decisions if I was placed in a position of leadership.  And I’m not sure I could be strict enough in enforcing policies and what-not, so I’d probably be a somewhat ineffective leader at that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compassionate or just?&lt;/b&gt; I can understand the need to be just at times...but overall, I lean more towards the compassionate side of the spectrum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What color do you think relates most to you and why?&lt;/b&gt; I don’t really have a lot of experience in life yet, so I want to say a lighter-toned color--yellow, maybe?  It can be a warm and soothing color that can fade into the background at times…and, when blended with a darker color (blue), it can bring about a shade reminiscent of nature (green).  I can see myself in more of a supportive role trying to help someone else, which is something I associate with yellow for some reason.  I’m sorry if that doesn’t make much sense!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can you put your trust in people?&lt;/b&gt; For the most part, yes.  I want to believe in those around me and will often give people the benefit of the doubt.  I’m probably a bit too trusting in many ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you prefer working with a group or alone?&lt;/b&gt; I’m not incredibly comfortable around other people, but there’s a lot more that can be done with a well-functioning team...so I guess I’ll go with a small group for this question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What&apos;s most important to you?&lt;/b&gt;  That myself and everyone I know and love remains safe and happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why?&lt;/b&gt; Sloth, most definitely.  I can be really lazy when it comes to doing things and I’m a horrible procrastinator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you don&apos;t relate to at all and why?&lt;/b&gt; ...Probably Pride.  I lack a lot of confidence in myself and I just can’t really picture myself having a lot of pride in my own accomplishments for some reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Number one goal in life:&lt;/b&gt; To figure out what it is that I truly want to do in life, and to become strong enough to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt;  I like most of the characters, but I think I’ll probably have to say Rikuson for this one.  There was just something about his character that really touched me.  I got a little annoyed at him in some parts of the story, but I also found him to be very human in a lot of ways.  I was especially moved by his actions at the very end of the anime, and thought that they were pretty true to his character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; I wasn’t a huge fan of Ryuubi due to his complete trusting of Koumei...but I didn’t really dislike him all that much either, especially when they went more into his character later on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Probably Sonken...because then I would finally be able to settle this debate about his character that me and Breyzy have been having (it’s a rather silly one, so for the sake of your sanity I won’t mention anymore). :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What kingdom would you belong in and why?&lt;/b&gt; I probably wouldn’t like belonging to any of them overly much considering all that happens in the anime, but if I had to choose I guess I’d say...Go, maybe?  I at least would probably be able to have a lot of respect for Sonken’s ideals for the most part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it?&lt;/b&gt; It depends on the situation.  That kind of power can be truly dangerous depending on who is controlling it, and I’d probably be more than a little wary of my ability to harness it in the first place.  I’d rather not, if I could avoid it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links to the open applications on which you have voted on:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/2206.html&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/2206.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/3076.html&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/3076.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post one or two pictures of yourself behind an LJ-cut.

Why?&lt;/b&gt; I actually watched the series for Koumei: a silver haired character with the voice of Koyasu Takehito (&lt;i&gt;Loveless,&lt;/i&gt; anyone? ^^) suggested an explosive mix. He intrigued me: I was curious where his true loyalties lie. And, as ending spoilers are forbidden by the rules of this community, I&apos;d say that some kinds of sacrifices have always made an impression on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; I couldn&apos;t stand Sonken, before a friend pointed out to me that it&apos;s actually a girl in disguise: with this interpretation, I started to like &lt;i&gt;her...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Rikuson, I would finally know whether he slept with Koumei or not...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What kingdom would you belong in and why?&lt;/b&gt; preferably none&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it?&lt;/b&gt; I was always curious how is it build... speaking seriously, tonight I might say &quot;oh no, it&apos;s too dangerous&quot; but it&apos;s weekend and when I return to work on Monday, it&apos;s very possible that I&apos;ll change my mind...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links to the open applications on which you have voted on:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/2206.html?view=14238#t14238&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/2206.html?view=14238#t14238&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/2328.html?view=14360#t14360&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/2328.html?view=14360#t14360&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post one or two pictures of yourself&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/elwen_rhiannon/pic/0000b13s/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/elwen_rhiannon/pic/0000b13s/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;179&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <description>Since we would like to make the rating as interesting as possible, &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;abelarda&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://abelarda.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://abelarda.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;abelarda&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and I have decided that comments will be screened. We hope you like the idea and that it will help to keep people&apos; minds clear and open. The comments will be unscreened after enough votes is gathered (read: three on the same character or five in total). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you very much.</description>

  <title>&quot;Lend me the power of the Seal&quot;</title>
  <link>http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/2328.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt;  Shimawa_zen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt;  21&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zodiac Sign:&lt;/b&gt;  Tiger&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Quote and/or Lyric:&lt;/b&gt;  Don&apos;t really have a favorite, but one I like is:&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Everything has its &quot;that&quot;, everything has its &quot;this&quot; . . . . So I say, &quot;that&quot; comes out of &quot;this&quot; and &quot;this&quot; depends on &quot;that&quot; - which is to say that &quot;this&quot; and &quot;that&quot; give birth to each other. But where there is birth there must be death, where there is death there must be birth . . . . Therefore the sage does not proceed in such a way, but illuminates all in the light of Heaven. He too recognizes a &quot;this,&quot; but a &quot;this&quot; which is also &quot;that,&quot; a &quot;that&quot; which is also &quot;this&quot; . . . . Or does he in fact no longer have a &quot;this&quot; and &quot;that&quot;? A state in which &quot;this&quot; and &quot;that&quot; no longer find their oppositesis called the hinge of the Way . . . . So I say, the best thing to use is clarity.&quot; ~ Zhuangzi (ancient Chinese philosopher).  I like it because it makes most people&apos;s heads hurt, but I find it amusing because I get it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt;  Three Kingdoms, Asia, travel, history, sushi, fun times with friends, quiet time for myself, the night sky, bright colors, mist, uniqueness, mysteries, cooking, anime and manga, challenges . . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt;  snow, cold weather, completely overcast skies, mornings, rigid schedules,e being told what to do, people who are sheep, extremely loud music (I have sensitive ears), rudeness, and following the crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strong points:&lt;/b&gt;  intelligent, independent, creative, self-motivated, sensitive, determined, ability to do anything I set my mind to, empathetic, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weak points:&lt;/b&gt;  stubbornness, taking on more than I should, being too hard on myself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt;  people who smoke, artificial gunk in food, ignorant people, stupid people, overly girly people, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt;  art, computer art, Chinese calligraphy, drawing, origami, painting, photoshop, reading, rping, scuba diving, swimming, tai chi, travel, video games, writing . . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt;  writing, insight, empathy, creativity, art, analyzing, seeing the big picture and the details, listener, fast learner &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your biggest fear:&lt;/b&gt;  not sure&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt;  Realistic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Impulsive or cautious?&lt;/b&gt;  Cautious&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or immature?&lt;/b&gt;  Mature&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extroverted or introverted?&lt;/b&gt;  Introverted&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Outgoing or shy? &lt;/b&gt;  More towards shy, but really more in the middle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotional or collected?&lt;/b&gt;  Collected&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Predictable or unpredictable?&lt;/b&gt;  Unpredictable, unless you know me extremely well&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patient or impatient?&lt;/b&gt;  Depends on the subject&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Confident or modest?&lt;/b&gt;  Both - these aren&apos;t opposites&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Realistic or dreamer?&lt;/b&gt;  Dreamer, but I try to live my dreams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Logical or intuitive?&lt;/b&gt;  Both - they actually can complement each other very well&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rude or polite?&lt;/b&gt;  Polite, sometimes beyond what I should be&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Determined or passive?&lt;/b&gt;  Determined&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dominant or submissive?&lt;/b&gt;  More in the middle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or follower?&lt;/b&gt;  Individual, but I will lead when I need to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compassionate or just?&lt;/b&gt;  Both - balance is important&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What color do you think relates most to you and why?&lt;/b&gt;  Purple - from the mysteriousness of royal purple to the brightness of other shades&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can you put your trust in people?&lt;/b&gt;  Not easily - I need to get to know them very well before I put much trust in them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you prefer working with a group or alone?&lt;/b&gt;  Generally alone, but depends on the project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What&apos;s most important to you?&lt;/b&gt;  Hard to pick what&apos;s /most/ important&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why?&lt;/b&gt;  Hard one since I don&apos;t particularly strongly relate to any of them, but I&apos;ll say Envy because there is always something I want that I&apos;m willing to strive for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you don&apos;t relate to at all and why?&lt;/b&gt;  Hrm, I guess I&apos;ll say Lust because I&apos;m not strongly sexually driven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Number one goal in life:&lt;/b&gt; Number one?  Can&apos;t say . . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt;  I love most of the characters, so its hard to pick favorites, but I&apos;ll name a few.  I like Shoukatsuryou Koumei because he is an interesting character.  I like Taishiji Shigi because he amuses me.  I like Ryoutou Kouseki because he is sweet and loyal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt;  I don&apos;t like how Ryuubi Gentoku is portrayed in this version - rubs me the wrong way somehow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why?&lt;/b&gt;  Hard, but I guess I&apos;ll go with Shoukatsuryou Koumei because it would be interesting to be inside his head for awhile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What kingdom would you belong in and why?&lt;/b&gt;  If going purely on the Koutetsu Sangokushi universe, perhaps Go/Wu.  If going on Three Kingdoms history/novel, probably Shoko/Shu or Gi/Wei.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it?&lt;/b&gt;  If I had a good reason&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links to the open applications on which you have voted on:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/597.html?view=6997#t6997&quot;&gt;X&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/1967.html?view=7599#t7599&quot;&gt;X&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/2206.html?view=7838#t7838&quot;&gt;X&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/919.html?view=9879#t9879&quot;&gt;X&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post one or two pictures of yourself behind an LJ-cut.

  <title>Lend me the power of the Seal</title>

  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Penka&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 27&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zodiac Sign:&lt;/b&gt; Capricorn/ Earth Goat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Quote and/or Lyric:&lt;/b&gt; About the lyrics- they are many. About the quote- for now is &quot;I am a jedi. I know I&apos;m better then this&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; anime and manga, Japane /culture and language/, angels, samurai, Star wars, Star trek, Lord of the rings, Queen, asian music, astronomy, heavy metal, hotohori, jedi, magic, shinichiro miki, shogun, shun, spirits, takehito koyasu, the three musketeers, tomokazu seki, sports /soccer, volleyball, martial arts - taekwon-do/. I like reading and watching movies when I have time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; I  don&apos;t like stupidity, ignorance, being humiliated, drivellers, lies and liars&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strong points:&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m strong-minded, honest with sense of humour, loyal, protective and quite diplomatic. I can keep secrets and I&apos;m stubborn. I can resolve every problem and I can find answer for every question. If I do somenthing I do it to the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weak points:&lt;/b&gt; My stubborness time to time.Somethimes I get angry very easy and when I get it, prefer not to show the angry /or some other feeling sometimes/. I think that is quite wrong and is a fit of weakness. My temper is quite rush and I can&apos;t trust people until I know them. I can be cruel if someone provokes me or interfere in my personal space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; May be they are many, but smoking is first that comes to my mind  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; They are many I think. Singing in a choir is counting?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; That I can listen people what they say is counting?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your biggest fear:&lt;/b&gt; To loose someone precious and I have fear from bugs /any kind - I hate them/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; In the middle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Impulsive or cautious?&lt;/b&gt; Both. Depends of situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or immature?&lt;/b&gt; Both. Depends of situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extroverted or introverted?&lt;/b&gt; Extroverted&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Outgoing or shy? &lt;/b&gt; More outgoing then shy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotional or collected?&lt;/b&gt; Both. Depends of situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Predictable or unpredictable?&lt;/b&gt; Unpredictable&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patient or impatient?&lt;/b&gt; Impatient&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Confident or modest?&lt;/b&gt; More confident  then modest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Realistic or dreamer?&lt;/b&gt; Both. Depends of situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Logical or intuitive?&lt;/b&gt; More intuitive then logical I think&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rude or polite?&lt;/b&gt; Polite. Rude- if someone provoces me very much&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Determined or passive?&lt;/b&gt; Determined &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dominant or submissive?&lt;/b&gt; Dominant &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or follower?&lt;/b&gt; Evryone who know me well, told me that I&apos;m born to be a leader and I agree /maybe/ with them. But I realize that being leader or a follower depend of situations wich comes to my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compassionate or just?&lt;/b&gt; Just, but compassionate when needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What color do you think relates most to you and why?&lt;/b&gt; Blue, because it&apos;s a deceive color. When passing the time you understand that color more better then at first sight. That color can be warm and cold in the same time, but if you want to see the reall self of that color you can wait until the color decide to show that self.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can you put your trust in people?&lt;/b&gt; No, because if they whant to trust them they must /I can&apos;t explain this correctly/ prove that if I turn my back to them they will not stick the knife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you prefer working with a group or alone?&lt;/b&gt; Depends of the kind of the work. Sometimes I prefer work alone, because there is no one to interfere in my work. But sometimes to work with others is better, because they can assist you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What&apos;s most important to you?&lt;/b&gt; Trust may be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why?&lt;/b&gt; I never think about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you don&apos;t relate to at all and why?&lt;/b&gt; Killing, because I think that I can&apos;t do such thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Number one goal in life:&lt;/b&gt; For now the goals are 7, but if I say - to be good in everything that I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; I don&apos;t have one&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; I don&apos;t have one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why?&lt;/b&gt; I never think about this, because &lt;i&gt;when&lt;/i&gt; I have such chance then I&apos;ll decide. Now I really can&apos;t answer correctly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What kingdom would you belong in and why?&lt;/b&gt; I don&apos;t know really. May be Wu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it?&lt;/b&gt; When the opportunity comes- then I&apos;ll decide&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links to the open applications on which you have voted on:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/597.html?thread=4693#t4693&quot;&gt;1,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/919.html?thread=4503#t4503&quot;&gt;2,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/1153.html?thread=4993#t4993&quot;&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post one or two pictures of yourself behind an LJ-cut.

  <title>Lend me the power of the Seal</title>
  <link>http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/1398.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Kumo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zodiac Sign:&lt;/b&gt; Taurus, or Fire Rabbit by the Chinese Zodiac&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Quote and/or Lyric:&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m going to go with the poem &quot;If&quot;, by Rudyard Kipling (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.swarthmore.edu/~apreset1/docs/if.html&quot;&gt;http://www.swarthmore.edu/~apreset1/docs/if.html&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Tea, anything Three Kingdoms, anything Feng Shen Yan Yi, moths, drawing and digital art, roleplay, depressing foreign drama films, travel, intellectuals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Loud noise, extremely sweet things, gory movies, most slapstick humor, suburbs, being touched&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strong points:&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m creative and I seem to make friends easily where ever I go. I try to see the good and the beauty in everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weak points:&lt;/b&gt; Physically, I&apos;ve never been very strong or fast. Also, I tend to work myself too hard, and I think I let people walk all over me too much sometimes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; Irresponsible people, that noise the television makes when you leave it on but not set to a channel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Roleplaying, drawing, cooking for other people, computer science things, and collecting international pop music&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; I can speak some Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and a little Japanese, as well as English. I can also write in Java and C++. Also, I have an ever-growing repository of random trivia knowledge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your biggest fear:&lt;/b&gt; Leaving things unfinished&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; Pessimistic. I want all of my surprises to be pleasant ones&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Impulsive or cautious?&lt;/b&gt; Cautious. Perhaps too much so sometimes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or immature?&lt;/b&gt; Mature, I hope&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extroverted or introverted?&lt;/b&gt; Extroverted. Much as I need alone-time pretty often, I get most of my energy when I&apos;m with other people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Outgoing or shy? &lt;/b&gt; Outgoing. I can always learn something from someone else&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotional or collected?&lt;/b&gt; Collected. I only really let myself get emotional around people I know well&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Predictable or unpredictable?&lt;/b&gt; Unpredictable, I suppose; my friends keep telling me that they never expected such-and-such from &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patient or impatient?&lt;/b&gt; Patient, most of the time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Confident or modest?&lt;/b&gt; Modest ._.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Realistic or dreamer?&lt;/b&gt; Dreamer. And then I try to make it work&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Logical or intuitive?&lt;/b&gt; Logical&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rude or polite?&lt;/b&gt; Polite&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Determined or passive?&lt;/b&gt; Determined when doing things, but generally passive when dealing with people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dominant or submissive?&lt;/b&gt; Submissive, usually, because I like helping people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or follower?&lt;/b&gt; Follower, unless the person I&apos;m following proves to be unworthy of my efforts. If I&apos;m needed, I will lead&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compassionate or just?&lt;/b&gt; I guess it would depend on what the situation requires, but I suppose I would probably err on the side of justice. While I like being nice to people and helping out, there are also a lot of times when I think people need to learn things for themselves, and that the best I can do is stay out of the way of that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What color do you think relates most to you and why?&lt;/b&gt; White. I like to think of myself as blank and empty, and ready to take in what knowledge the world has to offer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can you put your trust in people?&lt;/b&gt; Not often&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you prefer working with a group or alone?&lt;/b&gt; Alone, unless I know in advance that the group is a group of people who will carry their shares of work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What&apos;s most important to you?&lt;/b&gt; Learning as much as I can, from everyone I can. Accumulating experience, even if it is just related to me by others&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why?&lt;/b&gt; Gluttony. When I&apos;m in a bad state, I feel that I demand too much of the people around me. Also, I have trouble turning down good food sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you don&apos;t relate to at all and why?&lt;/b&gt; Lust. I&apos;m aesexual ._.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Number one goal in life:&lt;/b&gt; Be a Renaissance man&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Ah, so hard for me to pick just one, because my favorite part of this series was the characters. I think I&apos;ll go with Taishiji, because he always managed to make me smile. He was rough around the edges for sure, but he always seemed to do everything with the best of intentions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Again, I really loved everyone more or less, but I think I loved Rikuson the least, just because he seemed to whine so much. I know I&apos;d be under a lot of pressure in his situation, too, but he seemed to have a lot of good friends whom he did not always appreciate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Sonken. I would have liked to know more of what was going through his head at a lot of points in the series. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What kingdom would you belong in and why?&lt;/b&gt; I guess if we&apos;re talking about the kingdoms as presented in the show, I&apos;d probably like to serve Wu. I&apos;m not sure I could align my feelings to work with that Ryuubi or that Sousou. If I cannot work for Wu, then I would be a recluse, I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it?&lt;/b&gt; I think it would depend entirely upon the circumstances under which I received it, and under which I would be considering using it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links to the open applications on which you have voted on:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/597.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/597.html#cutid1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/919.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/919.html#cutid1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/1153.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/1153.html#cutid1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post one or two pictures of yourself behind an LJ-cut. Describe your appearance if you have no photos.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m 5&apos;9&quot;, and I think on the light end of average in terms of build. I&apos;ve got brown hair down to my chin in the front, and cut very short in the back. My eyes are green or grey or hazel depending on the light, I think, and my vision is bad so I wear contacts, or sometimes my glasses. When I don&apos;t need to dress up or anything, I dress for comfort above all else, usually in baggy jeans and a t-shirt, and a hoodie if it&apos;s cool out. And also, I don&apos;t like people taking pictures of me.</description>

  <title>Lend me the power of the Seal!</title>
  <link>http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/1153.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Sanada, but I seem to get called &quot;captain&quot; a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 24. Ahh, where does the time go?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zodiac Sign:&lt;/b&gt; Gemini (both sun sign and moon sign, lol).  Boar in Chinese zodiac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Quote and/or Lyric:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Favorite quote:&lt;i&gt;&quot;omoshiroki koto mo naku yo wo omoshiroku&quot;&lt;/i&gt; (&quot;Do something interesting in this boring world.&quot; - death poem of Takasugi Shinsaku)&lt;br /&gt;Favorite lyric: &lt;i&gt;&quot;wakariau koto ga ai datte kiita.  sore ga hontou nara minna hitoribochi, zutto, zutto.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; (&quot;They say that love is understanding.  If that&apos;s true, then everyone will be alone forever and ever.&quot; - &quot;Rikashitsu&quot; by Plastic Tree)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Cats, cosplay, cute things, shounen manga, history, science, languages, kind people, windy days, sweets, noodles, roleplaying, teaching, people with a sense of seriousness that I don&apos;t have...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Boring people, crowds, noise, social conservatism, whiny people, crawly bugs with lots of legs, worms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strong points:&lt;/b&gt; I have a really good memory, so I learn quickly and I&apos;m good at logical deduction.  People always say I&apos;d make a really good science teacher because my lectures are so enthusiastic.  I laugh a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weak points:&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m socially inept.  And I use too many emoticons when I type.  *laugh*  Also, I&apos;m easily frustrated, sarcastic, tempermental, lazy, creepy... wait, the bad things are outnumbering the good!  Time to stop!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; Bad architecture.  An ugly, confusing building or a poorly designed parking lot makes me want to scream!  I think people are no longer conscious of their environment because they&apos;re too accustomed to being surrounded by ugliness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Sewing, translating manga, playing clarinet, travelling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; If I like doing something, I&apos;ll become good at it.  Sometimes out of sheer stubbornness.  *laugh*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your biggest fear:&lt;/b&gt; That I will have a boring life and never accomplish anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; Somehow things always work out okay in the end, so I guess I&apos;m an optimist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Impulsive or cautious?&lt;/b&gt; Cautious.  People &lt;i&gt;think&lt;/i&gt; I&apos;m impulsive, but actually I make detailed mental plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or immature?&lt;/b&gt; Eh, I guess I&apos;m mature about the important stuff, but I have a lot of childish hobbies.  ^_^;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extroverted or introverted?&lt;/b&gt; Uhh... an extroverted introvert?  Is there such a thing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Outgoing or shy? &lt;/b&gt; Definitely not shy at all.  I&apos;m one of those people who can talk to a total stranger and have their entire life story within the hour... lol... I like to talk to interesting people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotional or collected?&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m easily excited, but other than that, I avoid showing my real emotions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Predictable or unpredictable?&lt;/b&gt; Unpredictable and over-dramatic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patient or impatient?&lt;/b&gt; Impatient.  &lt;i&gt;Very&lt;/i&gt; impatient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Confident or modest?&lt;/b&gt; Ultra-confident.  I think I&apos;m awesome.  *laugh*  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Realistic or dreamer?&lt;/b&gt; Definitely a dreamer, hehe.  What real world?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Logical or intuitive?&lt;/b&gt; Both.  I&apos;m logical about problem solving but intuitive about judging people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rude or polite?&lt;/b&gt; Polite.  So polite that people don&apos;t often notice when I&apos;m being snarky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Determined or passive?&lt;/b&gt; I tend to go with the flow unless I&apos;m really passionate about something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dominant or submissive?&lt;/b&gt; Dominant.  I get irritated if people don&apos;t listen to my advice, and I don&apos;t like taking orders.  *laugh*  But I think it&apos;s best to have a partnership of equals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or follower?&lt;/b&gt; I usually end up being a leader, but it&apos;s not like it&apos;s my ambition to be in charge or anything.  It just seems to happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compassionate or just?&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;d like to think that people can be both.  But I guess I put a higher value on justice.  There are situations where people have to do ruthless things for the greater good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What color do you think relates most to you and why?&lt;/b&gt; Hmm.. purple, maybe?  I rarely wear purple , but to me it&apos;s a rather flamboyant color.  Flamboyant but weird.  I think I&apos;m open and easy to understand in some ways, but I also keep a lot of things hidden.  *laugh* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can you put your trust in people?&lt;/b&gt; Hmm... possibly one or two people have my absolute trust.  But otherwise, an emphatic &quot;no.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you prefer working with a group or alone?&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;d rather work alone.  At least I know I can rely on myself to work to the best of my ability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What&apos;s most important to you?&lt;/b&gt; Having something that I can believe in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why?&lt;/b&gt; Envy and Pride.  I get unreasonably annoyed when people flaunt their accomplishments, and while I accept that there are loads of people in this world who are smarter, stronger, and all-around better than me, I don&apos;t necessarily want to &lt;i&gt;meet&lt;/i&gt; them... *laugh*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you don&apos;t relate to at all and why?&lt;/b&gt; Hmm... Sloth and Lust.  In it&apos;s original conception, Sloth meant apathy and sadness... kind of like emo for the Middle Ages.  I hate letting myself feel even a moment of self-pity.  And I&apos;ve never had any particularly lustful feelings, so I can&apos;t relate too much to that either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Number one goal in life:&lt;/b&gt; To become a god!  No, seriously.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Zhuge Jin (Shouketsukin) - he doesn&apos;t get nearly enough screen time, but there&apos;s something really likable about him despite the fact that he&apos;s creepy and not particularly good-looking.  He might not be as smart and special and wonderful as his little brother, but he still has the ability to genuinely care about people.  I think that really comes out in his scenes with Kongming (Koumei).  I also really like Sun Quan (Sonken) and Lu Meng (Ryoumou) - they&apos;re really sweet, but they also know how to bring out the best in the people they lead.  Really, I like everyone, though... and I like using Chinese names for the characters because that&apos;s what I&apos;m used to from history, ahh it&apos;s so hard to remember all of the Japanese names...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; There&apos;s actually nobody that I hate.  I fully admit that Koutetsu is far from a brilliant anime and that the second half of the series descended into such an epic crapfest that I watched every episode with an expression of utter &lt;i&gt;horror&lt;/i&gt; on my face... but even annoying characters had their good moments.  I started off disliking Lu Xun (Rikuson) because he NEVER STOPS WHINING, but after constantly making fun of him I actually became rather fond of him... now I joke that he&apos;s left Koutetsu Sangokushi and gone on to become the main character of Gundam 00 (same voice actor, same whining).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why?&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;d want to be Zhuge Liang (Koumei) just so I could have a taste of being the biggest bastard in the world... then I could get that urge out of my system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What kingdom would you belong in and why?&lt;/b&gt; WEI (&quot;Gi&quot; in Japanese.  Not necessarily Koutetsu-Wei, but I&apos;ve been a Wei-ist ever since I read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.  Cao Cao = cool.  I don&apos;t see him as an evil character.  Why the anime made him into a drag queen, I don&apos;t know... he&apos;s actually manly in the manga...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it?&lt;/b&gt; I really can&apos;t say.  There&apos;s nothing that I&apos;d need it for right &lt;i&gt;now&lt;/i&gt;, but if the opportunity arose where I could make a difference in the world by using it... well, I guess that would be a difficult decision!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links to the open applications on which you have voted on:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/919.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/919.html#cutid1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/597.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/597.html#cutid1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post one or two pictures of yourself behind an LJ-cut.

  <title>Lend me the power of the Seal.</title>
  <link>http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/919.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Agata&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 19&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zodiac Sign:&lt;/b&gt; Aries/Dragon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Quote and/or Lyric:&lt;/b&gt; I used to like the poem from &quot;Dangerous Minds&quot; but couldn&apos;t find untranslated English orginal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; being alone, feeling safe, calmness, day-dreaming, reading fanfiction, pretty dresses, flowers, plushies and cuddling them, peanut butter, the slight pain of getting a tatto&lt;small&gt; or visiting a dentist but it doesn&apos;t sound so cool&lt;/small&gt;, cigarettes, green tea, my laptop and mp3 player, gathering doujinshi and manga/anime goods;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; society, police, children, pregnant women who think they are special because of their pregnancy; people who think to high of themselves/meddle into the others&apos; life/are cruel to the animals and proud of it/are clingy or noisy/don&apos;t respect me thinking that I am younger than I am; impoliteness, when somebody tries to touch me/cuddle me/kiss me/play with my hair; sleeping with the other person in the same room - never mind bed; loud noises;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strong points:&lt;/b&gt; I keep all of my problems to myself and don&apos;t throw them at people. Sometimes I am very cheerful and seem carefree - it lightens people&apos; mood. I can listen and be manipulative; open-mindness, the sense of humour;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weak points:&lt;/b&gt; I have a problem with dealing with the stressful situations. I am kind of unstable - I jump from cheerfulness to deep sadness and suicidal thoughts; from being nice and sweet to waiting for any provocation to hurt someone (even if only verbally); taking criticism, low self-confidence, the lack of ambition and motivation;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; People who think too high of themselves and think they have the right to judge the others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Look at &apos;Likes&apos;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; I don&apos;t think I have any.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your biggest fear:&lt;/b&gt; To grow up and take the responsibility for my life. Burnt alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; Pessimistic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Impulsive or cautious?&lt;/b&gt; Cautious. Can be impulsive and violent when suprised or under the stress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or immature?&lt;/b&gt; Immature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extroverted or introverted?&lt;/b&gt; Introverted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Outgoing or shy? &lt;/b&gt; Shy. Outgoing with people I feel very comfortable with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotional or collected?&lt;/b&gt; Emotional. Although I keep everything to myself and from outside look rather cool and collected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Predictable or unpredictable?&lt;/b&gt; Hard to tell. I am not spontaneous or crazy but since I am introverted and because of the mood&apos;s changes it&apos;s difficult to read me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patient or impatient?&lt;/b&gt; I feel too impatient but comparing to other people it&apos;s not very bad. Just doesn&apos;t suit my taste. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Confident or modest?&lt;/b&gt; Modest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Realistic or dreamer?&lt;/b&gt; Dreamer. Day-dreaming takes a big part of my life. The real life is no fun. I am never involved in my fantasies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Logical or intuitive?&lt;/b&gt; Rather logical. I often feel that something bad is going to happen but it&apos;s just me, so there is no reason to put trust into my  intuition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rude or polite?&lt;/b&gt; Very polite to strangers. Although can be rude when in a bad mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Determined or passive?&lt;/b&gt; Mmm... Passive...Very passive...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dominant or submissive?&lt;/b&gt; Not dominant, prefer not to be submissive - it makes me feel bad and shitty after a while. Just alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or follower?&lt;/b&gt; I work alone, although I think that if I would meet a strong person with the same goals I could make a very good follower. But I couldn&apos;t promise that I won&apos;t turn against the leader when I will feel strong enough or start to think that the person has too much power over me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compassionate or just?&lt;/b&gt; Just. I am not a compassione person, I don&apos;t care about people&apos; rationale. There is no double standard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What color do you think relates most to you and why?&lt;/b&gt; Maybe violet. Some shades are soothing, calm and gentle, the other - disturbing and violent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can you put your trust in people?&lt;/b&gt; Depends on the case but usually I can&apos;t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you prefer working with a group or alone?&lt;/b&gt; Alone. I am not suitable to work with a group. Even if the results would be better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What&apos;s most important to you?&lt;/b&gt; To live the life I want to and not have to depend on anyone. Freedom. I hate when the goverment tries to meddle in people&apos; life too much and I can&apos;t stand censorship. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why?&lt;/b&gt; Pride. I would choose death over many things. Sloth is also worth to name, although I am not sure if I am lazy or just seriously lack the motivation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you don&apos;t relate to at all and why?&lt;/b&gt; Greed. I am not greedy. Sometimes I want many nice stuff but it doesn&apos;t rule my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Number one goal in life:&lt;/b&gt; I don&apos;t have any goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Sonken, a beautiful, delicate, girlish uke. He can be naive but isn&apos;t stupid. Yummy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Rikuson. Oh no! This bird died! I am so weak! Oh no! This dog died! It&apos;s my fault!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Probably Sonken. He has the power... a beautiful, delicate, girlish uke... Although I would also consider someone who has the power of the Seal and is physically strong. Or maybe Ryuubi... it would be wonderful... but I would have to come back. No, Sonken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What kingdom would you belong in and why?&lt;/b&gt; Shoku. I like Ryuubi&apos;s carefree and selfish life-style. And I like flowers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it?&lt;/b&gt; Probably. Being strong and powerful is very appealing to me, even for the sake of sanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links to the open applications on which you have voted on:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/597.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/597.html#cutid1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post one or two pictures of yourself behind an LJ-cut. Describe your appearance if you have no photos.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freshly taken pictures with the sharingan eyes. Hard to tell but my dentist said they are cool:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/persiasecretary/pic/0003g8h3/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/persiasecretary/pic/0003g8h3/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/persiasecretary/pic/0003fprk/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/persiasecretary/pic/0003fprk/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>Lend me the power of the Seal.</title>
  <link>http://community.livejournal.com/ks_rating/597.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; Abelarda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;/b&gt; 24&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zodiac Sign:&lt;/b&gt; Sagittarius with Moon in Scorpio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Quote and/or Lyric:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Favorite quote: a quote from Monty Python. Ironic and, I&apos;d say, strangely motivating...&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show &apos;em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one... stayed up! And that&apos;s what you&apos;re gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Favourite song lyric: &quot;Man-Erg&quot; by Van Der Graaf Generator. It&apos;s so true.&lt;br /&gt;&quot;And I too, live inside me and very often don&apos;t know who I am:&lt;br /&gt;I know I&apos;m not a hero; well, I hope that I&apos;m not damned.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m just a man, and killers, angels, all are these:&lt;br /&gt;Dictators, saviours, refugees...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Likes:&lt;/b&gt; Reliability and professionalism; stabilisation and peace; good manners; people who respect one&apos;s privacy; intellectual challenges. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dislikes:&lt;/b&gt; Noise, crowds; changes; over-extraverted people, cry-babies; liars; cruelty and psychomanipulation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strong points:&lt;/b&gt; Determined, practical, loyal, caring, compassionate and responsible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weak points:&lt;/b&gt; Stubborn, conservative, short-tempered, sometimes harsh, ambitious, a bit dominant and sarcastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pet Peeves:&lt;/b&gt; See &quot;Dislikes&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hobbies:&lt;/b&gt; Literature, linguistics, fanfiction, writing, computers, RPG, psychoastrology, logical games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talents:&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;m a fast-learner. I have a logical mind. I can improvise when I have to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your biggest fear:&lt;/b&gt; Losing my self-respect. Toxic relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimistic or pessimistic?&lt;/b&gt; Pessimistic, but not passive. Though it may seem strange, my pessimism never lets me give up. Why? Life&apos;s a bit of a challenge to me - either I win or I lose. And I hate losing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Impulsive or cautious?&lt;/b&gt; Even though I have a short temper, I always try to think things through; I&apos;m a very cautious person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mature or immature?&lt;/b&gt; Mature, probably, but I&apos;m quite sure that everyone has a child within. And so do I.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extroverted or introverted?&lt;/b&gt; Definitely introverted, I prefer to keep my feelings to myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Outgoing or shy?&lt;/b&gt; Neither shy nor outgoing; I would say aloof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotional or collected?&lt;/b&gt; Mostly collected. My emotions are quite intense, but they don&apos;t rule me. I&apos;m a bit of a control freak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Predictable or unpredictable?&lt;/b&gt; I would say predictable. But I&apos;m also very secretive and most people find me quite unpredictable, because they don&apos;t know me well enough to understand my way of thinking. Someone told me that I&apos;m acting just like a cat: cats basically are conservative animals, but if you don&apos;t know them very well, you really can&apos;t tell what to expect from them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patient or impatient?&lt;/b&gt; Both. Very patient, when I want to get something and I need to be methodical in what I do; impatient, when it comes to dealing with people, especially with annoying ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Confident or modest?&lt;/b&gt; Modest, mainly because of my perfectionistic tendencies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Realistic or dreamer?&lt;/b&gt; Too realistic for my own good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Logical or intuitive?&lt;/b&gt;  Usually logical. I prefer calm reasoning; intuition can be very misleading. On the other hand, on the rare ocassions I tend to trust my self-preservation instinct.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rude or polite?&lt;/b&gt; Polite, until someone really annoys me. In private, I am short-tempered. In formal situations, I can be &lt;i&gt;very, very&lt;/i&gt; polite and yet give the person that annoys me a few death glares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Determined or passive?&lt;/b&gt;  Determined. Life&apos;s a challenge; you can&apos;t only go with the flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dominant or submissive?&lt;/b&gt; Dominant. I am a fighter by nature; I prefer to be independent and in charge, I don&apos;t like the thought of someone trying to dominate me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader or follower?&lt;/b&gt; A leader rather than a follower, though I prefer working alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compassionate or just?&lt;/b&gt; Both justice and compassion are important. But in the end I guess I would choose justice (which, of course, is not exactly &lt;i&gt;the&lt;/i&gt; justice created by corrupted lawyers). With too much compassion people can justify even a serial killer - by pointing at his traumatic childhood experiences. I don&apos;t like this way of thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What color do you think relates most to you and why?&lt;/b&gt; Maybe black, because it symbolises melancholy and seriousness, but also experience. Or brown, the colour of the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can you put your trust in people?&lt;/b&gt; No. I do not trust easily and I don&apos;t have many friends. I happen to meet two, maybe three persons that I can trust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you prefer working with a group or alone?&lt;/b&gt; Alone. I&apos;m a perfectionist and I can&apos;t stand incompetence: the more people you you work with, the bigger chance of finding someone incompetent. Besides, I&apos;m a bit anti-social and I don&apos;t like to have many people around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What&apos;s most important to you?&lt;/b&gt; Privacy. Reliability. Self-respect. Loyalty. No, I cannot choose only one thing that is important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you relate to the most and why?&lt;/b&gt; Wrath, because I have a short temper. And maybe pride, too - because I value my self-respect a bit too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadly Sin you don&apos;t relate to at all and why?&lt;/b&gt; Lust, as it is based only on instincts and excludes respect and self-control. Besides, I&apos;m very monogamic by nature and betrayal is one of the worst things that I could ever imagine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Number one goal in life:&lt;/b&gt; Does &quot;to live happily and not to hurt anyone&quot; count as a goal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Shuuyu and Ryousou. They&apos;re both competent and dedicated; I admire Shuuyu&apos;s determination and Ryousou&apos;s harsh love for Ryoutou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Least favorite Koutetsu Sangokushi character? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Probably Rikuson, because he&apos;s too passive and naive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you were given the chance to become one of the characters for a short period of time, who would you choose? Why?&lt;/b&gt; Koumei. He really intrigues me and I&apos;d like to know his real thoughts and goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What kingdom would you belong in and why?&lt;/b&gt; I don&apos;t know; in fact, I don&apos;t think it matters at all. After all, you can find all kinds of people in every kingdom... It&apos;s not that one kingdom is &lt;i&gt;good&lt;/i&gt; and the other is &lt;i&gt;bad&lt;/i&gt;. Belonging somewhere - anywhere - cannot define the value of a man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you had the opportunity to use the Seal, would you use it?&lt;/b&gt; And again, I don&apos;t know; I suppose it would depend on the circumstances. Althought I am well aware of the fact that sometimes the end can justify the means, using something that powerful is always dangerous. Not only for the person that uses it, but for the others as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links to the open applications on which you have voted:&lt;/b&gt; None &lt;i&gt;yet&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please post one or two pictures of yourself behind an LJ-cut.
