Questions meme, from justifiedwings
You can post 5 questions in the comments as well, or just post so I can ask you questions.

1. Do you prefer RPing males or females? And why?
I do not actually have a preference, though I do find it easier to RP a male at times. So if I am tired, and not really up for indepth analysis, then I will prefer a male character.

2. You're in school. I already know your major. Do you have a minor? If so, tell me about it. If not, what other classes are you taking that are not prerequisites for your major?
Philosophy. I have always liked logical discourse rather than simply "I am right." "No you are not!" kind of debates. And many a times it goes onto the meta-physical level, which is interesting, to say the least. And of course, reading some of the assigned articles give me the chance to laugh with my friend at some of the fallacies of certain arguments.

3. I also happen to know you listen to music quite often, if not all the time. What type of music do you listen to and how does it inspire you?
To be honest, I usually listen to music originating from games and animes. Or just random songs I heard over the radio which I like. Though I tend to find those pieces that I like are usually instrumental. Even if they have vocals, the instrumental portion of it must be well done as well. Insipirational wise... I guess there is a sense of... epicness? For the lack of a better word. The Unsung War from Ace Combat 5, Megalith ~Agnus Dei~ from Ace Combat 4... All brings out a sense of wonderment.

4. Do you watch a bit of the telly? If so, tell me what you like to watch.
A little. Not so often now. House M.D., occasional episodes of CSI, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Documentaries, specifically those on military science, astronomy/astrophysics. Mythbusters. Sometimes I catch movies on the TV if it is something that I like. Football, or soccer as the Americans call it :p

5. Your English is impeccable. ♥ When did you learn to speak it, where, and do you enjoy knowing it?
Haha, flatterer! I learn to speak it when I first came to Singapore, at around age 6~7. It only really improved to a passable standard after I had to attend after-school remedial lessons because my english teacher then deemed it too weak. Then of course, I had the chance to banter and debate with my good friend in secondary school, so that improved my oratorical aspect. I enjoy knowing it specifically because there are quite a bit of sci-fi and fantasy novels written in english, as opposed to chinese.

1. Being the video game enthusiast, what would be your favorite gaming series and why?
Gaming series...  That is hard, though I would think say the Freespace series edges out Half-life. Just by a little. Especially Freespace 2. It is just about all I want from a science fiction flight sim. Not too much of that "You are the special one" vibe, and the capital ships in the game and kill each other faster than you kill them.

2. What traits attracts you to characters in fiction? What traits repulses you away from other characters?
I like my characters to have good intentions. Too many other arbituary traits to list, but I think the common baseline is that they must be willing to do good. What repulses me? The opposite. Characters who are motivated by bad intentions. I suppose bad and good are really subjective, but you could consider the social norm, for one. Doing good being helping others and doing bad to be otherwise. Simplistic, I know, but I do not want to get into applied ethics here, haha.

3. You seem like a well-read person. What is your favorite book/series?
Battletech, easily. Military science fiction with great characters (sometimes, at least). Political intrigue, huge battles, romance in some books. I love it. Honorable mention goes to Discworld. Death himself is epic win.

4. How did you get into rping?
I do not exactly recall, but it was in primary school, I think, when a bunch of us started to do some impromptu games. We have a game master who lay out the plot and setting, and we get to play the game. Looking back, it was extremely similar to those PnP RPGs, except the setting and all were original. And at the whims of the GM, haha.

5. How would you describe your fashion sense? What do you wear on a daily basis?
None-existant. I usually wear T-shirt and pants. Comfortable, and with a decent color combination to not look too outlandish.
