Sabbo, what's your username translated into romaji? Just curious to see if I'm right. It's...in katakana, isn't it? Because then I'd get "Sabbo"...essentially. Sort of like a Sah-boh sounding thing.

Sorry Sabbo, I made 0%. xP Don't know you well, though I almost chose your favorite color, but I chose a different one at the last second.

I decided to briefly jump on the band wagon and post my own quiz. I'll get to some of the other ones asap.

How well do you really know me, hmm?

It was also a semi-trick question, as that Tera changed her name right after enrolling.

And I'm impressed at what you got right and wrong.

You guessed my second-favourite season.

I actually often say "What's in it?" after saying I'm hungry and being told I can eat the food .

Do you know what all my usernames were?

And to get 4 things which I never told anyone on ZU (except for one of them I told Hippo) is impressive. ^_^

That's right to what is written, but... I unfortunately didn't make my username quite right - It should've been サッボー I think. The o in Sabbo is like in the word boat, tow, crow, own, opal, etc.

That's the sound I meant with the "oh", but I'm not so good at writing down things in English phonetically. ^^;;

Oh.

Don't worry, that phoneticism always gets me stuck too (was that even a word?)

The difference between the A's in aunt and ant are annoying too.

I keep on pressing "Enter" instead of clicking "continue." >_>

EDIT: The only one I got right was five, the one about which job you were told to be when you grew up. XD (as well as the one aout the first char you used to enter the Dome)

I actually got a 90 on the first quiz I did by complete accident!

The rest I cheated on... *runs away*

Character Creation Question (What a mouthful...): When creating a character, do you find yourself going out of your way to avoid unoriginalitys and clichés, and finding the character becauses slightly implausible at times? Or do you, on the other hand, simply roll with the predictable flow, adapting things slightly and making people think, "That's like... but instead it's..."? Or do you take your time to find the comfortable middle ground?

I guess my current characters are rather cliche (I didn't really avoid it when I made the first few), but the character I'm going to make after the 6 aspects shall be avoiding the cliches which plague the others.

(All information is findable somewhere on ZU, funnily enough)

Talking about clishe. Isn't making a so unclisheed character as possible also a clishe?
Instead of doing a great character, which might be clishe, and do it well, one does a "unclished" character with not as much depth as one should.
Isn't everything a clishe when you go to it's base?

Everything has been done before, but it's combining different elements that have been done before into something unique that makes plots and characters what they are. Also, the bigger generalisation, the less it'll seem unoriginal. xP

*prods everyone to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony*

They're not showing it on TV here right now. D: Besides, I have to go to work.

I'm making a new character concept, and I would like it if someone experienced could review it and offer some advice.

Don't tell that to the Greek people.

...Oh, wait. Too late.

...

Hahaha. Yes, too late. Much too late.

I never said the Olympics were bad, I just said they're overrated.

I'd happily watch the events I'm interested in, which is about one-third of them, but the opening and closing ceremonies are just a money-bin as it stands now.
