Title: if you could join the Animorphs
Post by: rocklobster on June 30, 2009, 12:03:29 PM
If you were able to join the animorphs, do you think you'd be a good member for the team?  I think I'd probably do my best to follow orders and give input.  Cassie and I would probably get along well and I'd just be the "sympathetic ear" type person.  Heck, I'm sure even Tobias would want to hang out with me.

As I am now, I'd be too extreme for their liking. Opting for more destructive missions in order to win faster, instead of just trying to foil Yeerk operations. As I was when I first started reading the series, I was probably more like them. Not really willing to destroy the pool and sink half the city.

Nowadays I'm like Marco. Back then, I was more like Cassie. Then I "grew up", as it were.

I'm same as you Chad. Screw being nice. If destroyin a yeerk pool would save thousands from being infested that much sooner, then hell yeah.
I would have no problem

I would be a very poor team member.

I would plot and scheme on ways to win at all times, I would grill Ax for information that could help my strategies, challenge Cassie whenever her reluctance to morph animals that may or may not be sentient showed itself, I would devote my entire being to fighting and winning the war, to not only saving earth but to making sure it was never invaded again, I would have vhemently, perhaps violently opposed trapping Aftran as a whale based on her knowledge of the Yeerks if nothing else, I would have used the morphing cube right away after the David incident, I would have made reckless ruthless bad decisions because I'd care about just one thing: the survival of the human race, I wouldn't care about the price I had to personally pay in exchange for it.

At the end, assuming I hadn't been sent to take Rachel's place, or taken out earlier by the Yeerks or indeed by the Animorphs themselves, I would never have handed the pool ship over, I'd have told the Andalites to get out of my solar system or else bring it on, because earth was officially a no fly zone largely because I wouldn't trust them by that point but mostly because it wasn't andalite blood spilt obtaining it, it was the blood of the Human, Hork-Bajir and Taxxons (and one Andalite I guess), the races that those Andalite meddlers had been killing over and over again just to get at the Yeerks in their heads.

So yeah, I'd be a really ignorant insanely crappy Animorph  :P

That sounds like the long version of my post. I wouldn't be doing things the animorphs way. That wasn't proactive enough.

I so couldn't be an animorph..I'd be too scared  :-\

I wouldn't fit in very well.
I'm very win at all costs, damn the collateral damage. I would even resort to using WMD's if it mean winning the war.

I'd run into a corner and hide.  Not very useful really...

I guess a few of us on the board would do all the dirty work.

Honestly I think that I would be scared to death, but still do it. I have a strong sense of duty. I think I would be an okay addition. I'm not sure about in battle, but as far as strategizing and whatnot is concerned. I am very practical and pragmatic about how I approach everything and I think that I would be good at not getting emotionally invested in plans - kind of a combination between Marco and Ax.

BUT at the same time I think I would struggle quite a bit with moral issues. Nothing as lame as 'should we morph dolphins', but on a larger scale. I would have trouble contending with the fact that I had to take lives.

I'd be too lazy

"we have to stop them"

"but man, come on, it's like 9:00 in the morning and I haven't even showered yet"

"WE HAVE TO STOP THEM"

"Can't we just do it tomorrow? I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, and--"

"WE HAVE TO STOP THEM!!"

lol I'd just whine and whine

Well if i was part of teh team i guess i might be slightly helpful...I CAN DRIVE XD that part in MM1 woudl have been so much easier if a licensed driver was behind teh wheel. XD
I'm somewhere in between Cassie and Tobias in Morality. And i guess i can be a bit selfish  <_< not that they were not at some point they had their own personal agendas. I would go on a personal mission to get Zohrra. make sure he was not a controller and make him part of teh team.
I don't have very good insight i suppose and i have a limited knowledge of pop culture XD. Rachel will be all D: not anopther person that needs help finding clothes. XD poor Rachel

Eh, I guess I'd probably be somewhere between a Marco and a Rachel.  Probably more of a yes-man though, following orders or whatever if I joined the group later on.  Respect, yo homey, etc.

Probably not have much of a problem with the dirty work, either, like those two.

Haha, +1 for completely describing myself as well. I'd be too much like Marco unless I had a personal stake in the war imo.

Agreed, sometimes you just have to win. no matter what

I'd be an excellent team member.
I'd be completely willing to sacrifice a normal life for the life of an Animorph.
There's no way I'd ever back down from a fight, no matter what.
I believe I'd be a great fighter. I get mad when I'm fighting, and my anger fuels my performance in a good way.

I might have a problem with attending school...it just wouldn't seem worth it to go anymore if I'm fighting a war.

I think I'd fit in with them, personality wise. I'm sort of a combination of everyone except Jake. I can be aggressive, competitive, and always ready to fight those who threaten my life and those of my family and friends. I'm like Marco in that I have a messed up, yet good, sense of humor, and am very sarcastic. I'm like Tobias since I can be shy at times, I'm quiet, and a little reclusive. I'm similar to Cassie since I'm a vegetarian and love animals. I could be around them all day, and I love helping them. Just the other day I brought a dog back to his home after I saw that he was lost.

So yeah, I'd be a nice addition to the Animorphs, and would definitely kick some yeerk butt.

I'd like to think of myself as like my character Melanie in the Aftermath game. Scared, hard hit by being outnumbered and outgunned, but refusing to simply give up either. Especially if the fight were personal. I try to follow direction but I can be stubborn and try to find my own way to do things sometimes. I'd be a mixed bag lol

Post by: Cloak on July 04, 2009, 05:59:59 PM
I don't how well a member I would be. . . . I can be horribly stubborn (hallmark of my mother's side of the family . . .), willful, somewhat arrogant, a little antisocial (or, at least, I was in the past) and I can be very moody.  I guess you can say I somewhat like Alastor Moody in the body of a 24-year-old Muggle . . .

I know that I'm probably not as afraid of death as I should be.  I can see right now that that simple fact can lead to a lot of problems where I an Animorph. . . .

I don't know if I would be a good Animorphs... I'd probably want to find a way to make peace with the Yeerks, but in another side, I'm easily angry and cruel, so if they do something I don't accept, I would exterminate them ^^' It'd hard to be me... ;)
PS: Here the Human, Ensram is in his private Pool... And of course I answered as if I wasn't already a Controller :P

Im not sure how I'd do. Like most of you I wouldnt be as kind as the Animorphs and would have no problem doing stuff like blowing the Yeerk Pool up or morphing sentient beings. When it comes to the fate of the earth, I think I can live with the death of thousands of Yeerks and maybe humans(I'd feel bad abou the humans but still) in battle i'd probably be the worst since I'd always try to hide in a corner or something and only attack when something attacks me. LOL i'd so be the coward of the group. Always the last person to go into battle, the first person to suggest doing stuff like that would result in the death of thousands of Yeerks, the first one to suggest we kill David. Basically I'd always pick the easy way out of things
Title: Re: if you could join the Animorphs
Post by: Alic on July 05, 2009, 01:13:07 PM
I don't think having to destroy other humans is an easy way out. That would **** up your head forever.
I'm willing to be effed up if It means I'm taking down the yeerks and saving human kind all at the same time

lol You're a true Marco ;) Do you know to make jokes in the bad moments too? :P
I'd be more between Cassie and Rachel...

I know I'd be a lot like Marco, with a little bit of Tobias and Jake mixed in. If it's possible to have qualities of both Tobias and jake. I once took a quiz that said I was most like Jake, thugh I believe I'm most like marco. Plus I have some low self-esteem, social outsider in me.

I would urge that Tom be rescued ASAP and hidden in Jake's basement, or hidden in the Barn, or hidden in Erek's house, or hidden with the Hork bajir.
