The General Application

Name: Ben or departuresong work just fine. If you know any of my dozens of other aliases, feel free to use one of those.

Birthdate: January 2, which makes me a Capricorn, although I don't think I really fit that sign.

Gender: I'm a very effeminate male.

Hobbies/Interests: Listening to music, playing the occasional video game, and watching mindless TV shows.

Favorite Pokémon: Furret. The very first episode of the Pokémon animé I watched involved a Furret somehow. I'm not entirely sure which episode it was, but I remember falling in love with it the first time I saw it.

Favorite Type: Normal; it has the most likeable Pokémon.

Favorite Aspect: I like the games, but even my love for those has been waning as of late. I suppose my answer, then, is the community.

Other Fandoms I Follow: Nothing in particular, but I follow a lot of bands pretty closely. (Check my Last.fm profile (http://www.last.fm/user/DepartureSong) for more information about that.)

Five Random Things About Me:

I have trouble talking about myself on the spot. Isn't it obvious?
One big problem I have is coming off as condescending without meaning to. Please do call me out on it if you notice.
I'm from the Twin Cities (Minnesota) area, but my dream is to live in San Francisco.
I'm a vehement left-wing tree-hugging hippie.
My all-time idol, muse, and hero: Tori Amos.

Pokémon Profile

Type: Normal/Flying; Normal because I don't think I have any real significant personality quirks; Flying because I always have my head in the clouds.

Abilities: Plus/Minus; I seem to have an entirely different personality when I'm around somebody my personality is compatible with.

Nature: Hasty; I need to remember to think before I jump into things.

Natural Habitat: I think I would be one of those urban Pokémon that lives in the heart of some large city. I want to be where the world is.

Stats
HP: Low; I enjoy the outdoors occasionally, but I'm not athletic in the least.
Attack: High; I'm working constantly to lower this stat.
Defense: Also High; I'm a pretty vehement person when it comes to certain things.
Special: Medium High; I like to think I'm reasonably intelligent, but I wouldn't call myself top-tier or anything.
Speed: Medium; it really does depend on what I'm doing.

Moveset
I'd only need two moves: Return and Frustration. What goes around comes around.

Pokédex Entry:
Cursed with an incredibly low attention span, departuresong is one-half artistic introvert and one-half obsessive socialite.

Hi then, Ben. You can call me Cami or Kelly if you wish. xD

We have another Sentret/Furret fan on the board, too, in the form of An-chan.

It looks like you'll fit in just fine here! And thank you, we try our best.

True that! Although, I'm more a Sentret fan than Furret fan, but quite close anyway. *:3 My sig and user pic might give me away, hmm?

Also, I agree with you on that the community is the best aspect of this franchise. I do like the games a lot, even the spinoffs, but it's still the community I waste my time with - the fanart, the fanfiction, my ultra-awesome friends. And, in that sense, this is one of the best places to be because the specific community here is so awesome.

So, I hope you enjoy it here and stay for a long time to come. *:3 Welcome!
