Trinity Theme: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; or The Matrix? YOU DECIDE.
Name: Rachel
Please post the links to three applications you've voted on recently:

3. I didn't see a third one that was unstamped. :(
Likes: Angst, reading, writing, fanfiction, role-playing, yaoi, video games, anime, manga, Harry Potter, science-fiction, fantasy, slacking off, being emo, scars (I think they're hot).
Dislikes: People who talk loudly on cell phones while standing in line, bigots, really happy people, being constantly honest.
What do you feel is your best quality?: I'm likely to say something when I get irritated by something someone's doing. I'm bossy and expect everyone to do what I tell them to, but that's just because I'm always right. I'm intelligent and not prejudiced towards anyone, except stupid people.
Your worst?: I can be really annoying, I don't listen to people when I should sometimes, and I'm always late with everything. Also, people find me hard to talk to when I tell them what I really think.
When working with others, you tend to be more...
Mature or Immature?: Mature, when I get my way. Immature if I don't get my way, which actually rarely happens. Most people just bow to my superior knowledge right away. That sound so crazy egotistical, but seriously, it's annoying when people think they know what they're doing and you're trying to tell them they're wrong. Then they come to you later and you're like, well duh, I told you from the start. Don't come crying to me now.
Leader or Follower?: Leader, which you probably got from the above rant. I suck at following people. I mean, I'll do it when I need to, but I just end up taking the lead anyway. I'm not even kidding here: in my graduate course last week, someone else started a discussion about how I always take control in every class I'm in and basically ignore the professor. And everyone agreed. I'm not making this up. I was so embarrassed, but it's completely true. I even get my professors to shorten papers and let us out early. I've had people come to me before to ask me to get the professor to switch assignments for them, and IT WORKED. Let's not even get started on my work place or my friends/family. I'm a control freak--sad, but true.
Optimistic or Pessimistic?: Pessimistic. I think life sucks. The best you can hope for is to accept that life sucks early on and then be able to enjoy good things when they happen and not get too fazed by bad stuff when it happens, which is a whole lot more often than most people would like. OH WAIT. How can you be optimistic or pessimistic when working with others? It's just that there's a job to do and you do it by the time it's due. That's it. I answered wrongly. :P
Impulsive or Cautious: Hmm. Cautious, I think. Yeah, I overthink everything from all of these little angles that make my head spin. It completely sucks. I never do anything without thinking it through from all of these possibilities that would probably never happen. I'm only impulsive when it comes to people I know really well and who I'm great friends with. OH WAIT AGAIN. I need to remember this is for how you act in a group. I guess I'm impulsive in that I immediately take control and lay out a plan, but I also think things through quickly in those kinds of situations, so it's okay to act quickly as well.
Outgoing or Shy: Outgoing, in a group, always. That's the way it is with a leader. You can't be quiet and expect people to listen to you. *shrugs*
What kind of impression do you want to give your partners when you first meet?: Hm. Um. Hm. I'd want them to like me, immediately. I would want them to think I was intelligent and capable of handling whatever came our way. I would want them to think that I was an asset to them; someone who could be counted on and who would be a support to them when they needed it. But also, I'd want them to think that I wouldn't let them get away with too much bull. In other words, I'd want them to see me as someone they could rely on, so that there were no immediate worries about how I would react in a fight or other similar/tense situation.
...What kind of an impression would you want to have of them?: That's a very tough question. I mean, I'm not sure. I think the only real important aspects would be feeling like I could rely on them, that they were strong people who wouldn't necessarily back down, but who also were willing to do what I said. I'd want to like them, so they should be sarcastic or otherwise not entirely 100% nice. Maybe they should have some sort of traumatic upbringing, so I could relate to them more and we'd have a similar worldview--but that's really not necessary, just preferable. Also, it would be great if I liked them so much that I wanted to hang out with them even when we didn't have to. Oh, and also I'd need to be able to feel like I could joke around with them. Being too serious all the time can get really frustrating. But even if someone wasn't cool with joking around, as long as they weren't a downer the entire time, we'd make it.
Would it be necessary for you and your teammates to get along with one another ALL the time?: I wouldn't mind dissent in the group as long as it was useful. For instance, arguing about a plan when one of them sees a clear mistake is important and vital to working together, but arguing for the sake of arguing is annoying and wastes time. I also think that I wouldn't get along with them all of the time--really, who gets along with anyone all the time? Fighting and making up is one way to solve disagreements and become closer as friends and teammates. I'm also okay with people who are hiding things from the other--you know, secretive people--as long as it doesn't affect the team.
What role could you see yourself playing in a group setting?: Leader. If that wasn't clear already, which I'm pretty sure it was. I'd be willing to hear what the others had to say, but what happens should be my decision, in the end.
What combat role would you want to provide for your group (i.e.: front-line fighter, magic-caster, healer, etc.)?: I'd love to be a front-line fighter, but really, I'd be willing to do whatever needed to get done. If one of my teammates was an incredibly adept front-line fighter and the other was great at casting magic, I'd be more than willing to heal and attack long distance when necessary. It's more important that we function together as a unit than what each of our individual positions are.
You tend to NOT get along with those who are... LOL, lots of people. Too kind, too naive, too girly--those are the top ones. But really, anyone who isn't comfortable with discussing anything that's laid out on the table bothers me. Also, I think people who are really young or really old have warped views on the world. Also, people who have led sheltered lives or are too innocent bother me--it's hard to talk to them or convince them that bad things actually do happen.
A fight against the Heartless ends up forcing your group to perform a very silly (yet surprisingly effective) Trinity move. ...Which part of the human ladder do you see yourself being?: LOL! OMGWTF?! Okay, wait. Let me think. Probably the bottom. I'm a clumsy idiot normally, and for sure I would trip over myself trying to do anything else. -_-;; But I'd be willing to try any part? I don't get this question, sorry. I fail. ;_;
