Hmmmm...Well, I'm very responsible when it comes to things like school work and chores. I'm a very loyal friend. In fact, one of my flaws--that I consider-- is that I'm too forgiving and willing to give people second, third and fourth chances. I tend to do what I'm told when an authority figure, or even someone with experience in the field, tells me to do something. I'm not a very arrogant person by nature.
But this is not school, or anything normal like that. This is WAR. This is something beyond normal war, this is intergalactic war. You think getting shot was bad? Getting torn to pieces, consumed in whole by some ravenous beast, and totally eliminated by a single shot from a dracon beam is ten times that. War--any type of war--changes people. A rather calm kid could turn into a vicious killer. There is nothing worse than a person with powers and nothing left to lose--DAVID!
I would like to think that I'd stick with the Animorphs. Like I said, I'm a very loyal person. If I knew that the Animorphs were trying to help me out, and was positive that they knew what they were doing I would go along with them--after all, they have the experience that I lack. I might disagree with Jake on occasion, and would most likely bond with Tobias, Ax and [maybe] Marco. Rachel is a girl, and I tend to be awkward around those, so we probably wouldn't talk. I think I would take up Cassie's offer on letting me stay in the barn, but I would probably **** and moan about it for a few weeks when I got really angry (I have a temper, too).
I'd be really upset about my parents. I think the Animorphs would have to give me some sort of pep talk just to get me to understand what was going on. Like, say Jake took me down to the Yeerk Pool and showed me what was happening to the people down there; I think that would be enough motivation to get me to cooperate. But I don't know how I would react to the battles. Yea, killing would be extremely off putting, but I think I would kid myself into believing that I could justify killing as trying to win a war. I'd mostly be worried about the Hork-Bajir controllers trying to kill me, and Visser Three, obviously. I'm pretty sure I'd run. Rachel would call me a coward. Maybe I would be an effective solider, but I doubt it. I dont think I'd betray them, but who knows?
If I got to the point where I didn't want to be in the war anymore, I'd probably just leave. But I wouldn't tell anyone about it. I would fly out of town--or city, or country, would be most preferavble) and probably trap myself in morph. But I wouldn't trap myself as an Animal. I would acquire another person (if I'd stuck around with the Animorphs long enough to learn about the Frolis Manouever I'd acquire DNA from four or five different people) and try to assimilate into another city.
If I did stay, I would try to acquire as many morphs as possible. I also think I'd abuse my powers, but I doubt I'd steal or do anything close to what David did (I guess that's the Catholic in me). The worst thing I would do would be personal morphing--probably aquiring morphs via the frolis manouever, if I knew about it.
