Tell us a bit about yourself (traits, skills and personality, etc.). Which of the four attainable positions do you prefer to obtain, if selected? What makes you, considering you told us about yourself, the right individual for this?

The Inspector

Feels like I'm at a job interview but here we go. Personally, I see myself as an empathetic person. This is mostly evident with my family, which can't really be taken into account here but I still think it's a strong piece of evidence. I love to listen and understand others because it allows for better understanding of that person. However, I don't let my relations with someone get in the way of me doing something I'm supposed to do. An example of this would my learned discipline from JROTC. In that class, we are taught 7 values, one of them being leadership. In leadership, the person in charge has a responsibility to those he/she leads. Don't get me wrong, we care about each other as a whole but when someone does something wrong, they will receive due punishment. Recently, I have been placed in a leadership position and have had to give punishment to close friends for breaking certain rules. That, I believe, makes me suitable for the position.

Having been placed in a leadership position, I also have the responsibility of meditating my platoon. When conflict arises, it falls upon me to assess and deal with the situation in a civilized manner. Naturally, I'm confronted with "choosing sides" in the conflict. Of course, I remain neutral and unbiased and act only as a medium towards resolution instead of an instrument to win an argument. This expands outside of the JROTC program into my everyday life. In my family, I am almost always the mediator/counselor for my siblings and sometimes my elders. With my friends, I am the one people come to solve an issue. Once again, I strongly support this as another example of my qualifications.

Even as I state my positives, I feel obligated to mention my vices. First and most obvious, I'm not perfect in any sense of the word. I say again: I am not perfect. I can be very hotheaded at times and let my emotions take over. But, I quickly realize the mistakes I make and seek to correct them as soon as possible. This is another trait I learned from the JROTC program.

Overall, I know that I am a very disciplined but empathetic individual. I can get along with others and don't generally like to cause conflict or even see it take place. I'm also an honest person and will be very direct others when need be.

Do you have any former experience as an Admin, may it be on this site or somewhere/something else?

I'm not sure if having been a moderator counts as having Admin experience, but I think it would correlate with being The Inspector.

How long have you been a member here? And how active are you on weekly basis? What is the Naruto Fanon to you? What do you consider this site and its community to be to you?

I will have been a member of this fanon for a full year in October. On a weekly basis, now that I've gotten the rhythm of my Literature class, I will be on here 5-6/7 days out of the week.

To me, I see the fanon as a place to share mutual interests that would normally be looked at as "strange" or "lame". It's somewhere I can be a fanboy about things and not have to be criticized for it. It is somewhere I can feel free. The community are my figurative brothers and sisters that take part in those same interests and also who I can learn from and grow, knowledge-wise, with. I might even go as far as to say that it's a home away from home. To others, this may sound ridiculous, but I have said what I think and that's that

Bonus: perhaps you’ve something additionally to tell us?
