A big Thank you to Musiclover for reading me so well. He's so nice . From Lark's description I now have a confirmation that he's a great person. I will try to analyze him later too.
Now up for me is Sunderland:
A guy, who I think is very trustworthy. I picture him as a rather tall guy, more on a skinny side, but you could say that he is in a good shape, has some muscle on him. His hair a bit curly (very random I know, but thats how I picture him in my head)...with a face that makes you want to tell him your biggest secret and be sure that he'll keep it. His friends (male or female, and he has many friends of both sexes) appreciate this quality the most.
Sunderland is into sports and leads a healthy lifestyle. Due partially to this, his mental abilities are also in a good shape and he is a normal, very sane guy, without any habits that would make you call him weird. Friendly and approachable. Was popular in school, but for all the good reasons.
Humble. I'm sure many people want to be his friends, but he doesn't know this, because of this he has kinda hurt several people who have tried to bond with him, simply because he had no idea those people wanted more than just be his acquaintances.
Learning new interesting things makes him happy. Very open to new sensations and information. He is good at learning languages I think.
It's an understatement: he's one of the nicest members ATRL members have ever seen. He's very supportive and he's like the friend who would first show up in the hospital when you're sick than your own family. He's like the friend who would sacrifice his ow savings to lend you money when tough times call for it. Easily, he is a true friend in all senses. He's very sensitive and considerate for the feelings of the people around him (except Charice ). He is self-reliant, automatically making him a very good player. His good nature and pure conscience impedes in the way of his leadership. He acts upon scruples and has a solid conventional principles ----- aka he can't be a good leader, as it would only impose a reversed system of operations between him as the leader and his subordinates as the team players. (sorry sis, I hope you're not offended )
Anyway, he's affectionate of doing favors for others. I'm not sure if he finds happiness in charity works but it's obviously lifting him up. He likes having fun and is a positive person. Passionate. LOYAL! LOYAL! LOYAL! Respectable and respectful. Courteous. Obedient. Skillful. Basically, there's not bad bone contained in this guy. ♥
I don't actually think it's an understatement. And I do agree. I'm can't and will never be a good leader. That has been proven. I'm not sure about being considerate though. And there are some bad bones hidden actually.
Now its time for one of the most sensitive, lovable and interesting members on ATRL: Ashuduff
Ashu is an interesting phenomenon. He has a heart of gold, but often tries to come off as rude to the people he doesn't like, to seem more tough, but since deep down he is so kind and caring, he can't pull off being rude for a long time. He feels regret very easily. He very much cares what other people will think about him and is devastated to find out that somebody, who he shouldn't even care for, dislikes him. He experiences negative emotions with stronger force than most of the people do, while he feels like the positivity in his life is just a fluke. Has a negative outlook on life at this point, but I am sure that will go away with age. At some point he will find harmony with himself, he'll accept his flaws and he'll feel relieved/happy and he'll get rid of his insecurities that are a plague to him right now.
He often imagines himself in unrealistic, pleasurable situations, daydreams a lot. Has a developed fantasy and creativity. If he finds a career best suited for him, he'll become very successful and respected for his original views and approach.
I don't know how you did it, but you did. You're truly amazing
As I promised him I will base my analysis on him being from Russia, of course combining that with his posts and personality on ATRL.
I don't want to stereotype, but its hard to describe a nation without some level of stereotyping, so I apologize in advance.
Russians are the most contrasting nation one could imagine. Home to biggest minds in the world and at the same time home to biggest douchebags one would ever come across. Their political leaders have always been repulsive and not respected, while their writers (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Pushkin and many many others) are considered biggest thinkers in the history of mankind and authors of the most acclaimed novels/poems. Russians have excelled in many directions of science; linguistics; literature; education etc...but at the same time the country still has a big portion of ignorant population, who spew hate left and right, racism is still active in the country and Russians are condescending. They think they are some kind of a rare breed and look over the others from above. I blame all of this on Soviet Union, which was a MESS. Plus Russian men do really have this big problem of drinking alcohol, mainly because it is a northern country with cold weather all year round on most of the territory. Try to be sober all the time in such a gloomy, depressive weather. People living in southern nations might not understand how depressed you can get if you don't see the sun for several months in a row and have to wear tons of clothes. But I am starting to get too specific...
Roman definitely belongs to the portion of Russians who I would call a Russian intellectual. This type of people always consider different opinions, think a lot before they speak, don't talk much, but if they say something you better eat it up. Respectful and disarming with being nice.
Roman's posts on ATRL are a very thin line away from being boring, but for some reason they aren't. Maybe because they are thought-through, but intelligent thoughts often are boring. But I think what saves him is how he can express his opinion shortly and without much tautology. I believe same is the case in real life...he expresses his opinion in a short but effective way in an academic setting, or other places where it is important for him to perform well, and because of this gets respect from his teachers and peers. But with close friends he can let loose and be a bit more bubbly (but what is bubbly for him, would mean being gloomy for someone else lol).
He is at least trilingual. Gives him another advantage of having a quick and trained mind.
I am sure he will be a success. A determined young man like him is a pleasure to know.
As I promised him I will base my analysis on him being from Russia, of course combining that with his posts and personality on ATRL.
[paragraph about Russia]
Russia is where I was born and the Soviet Union is where my entire family stems from - but - I've lived in Germany for 13 years, a very liberal country filled with progressive thinking and Western European values. I believe my mindset and outlook at the world, life and interpersonal communication has nothing to do with what country I belong to. Germany is my home, but I believe it is inaccurate to say 'someone thinks/acts like a German/Russian'.
There are so many people in both countries with different minds that I find it impossible to generalize, and I think the overall angle you approached this with - a national standpoint - is not necessarily the most efficient tool to delve into my mind.

I would say that's accurate, but I've only started applying the 'short and simple' way of expressing myself after a (German) professor told me that this is the best way to present information to an audience if you want to explain scientific correlations. Thus, I would not call myself a 'Russian [anything]', expressing myself shortly and to the point stems - yet again - from my scientific side.
But with close friends he can let loose and be a bit more bubbly (but what is bubbly for him, would mean being gloomy for someone else lol). I try to be as nice and respectful as I can towards strangers. But with close friends I'm a completely different person. I do attend parties, concerts, clubs and other events in which I really let loose and I doubt anyone would call that 'gloomy'
He is at least trilingual. Gives him another advantage of having a quick and trained mind. True, I am trilingual and also understand the majority of French . I don't want to sound arrogant...I have a friend who knows so much more and taught himself so many languages...I'm nothing compared to him
I am sure he will be a success. A determined young man like him is a pleasure to know.
Thank you very much
That's what I think of you, as well.
Thank you for spending time and effort on this analysis. Maybe we can repeat this in half a year and see in what other ways you would assess my personality.
haha great. I agree of course that its not a good idea to describe somebody based on the stereotypes you have about the country he comes from....but using that approach was fun if not that I wouldn't really be able to add much to what Keriihil said about you.
Glad you enjoyed reading it, Roman...I am sure it would be fun to see you describe somebody. and the subject would be very lucky
Next up for me are: Sir. Frost; Thegmangrant; BnPac (maybe); Musiclover (I don't know if I'll be able to add anything to Lark's amazing review of him though )
But these descriptions will come a bit later. And if somebody else wants to do any of these members, please feel free.
What can I say about our gud sis Daniel? Well, most of us are probably aware of his religious upbringing and enlightenment, as it was said but there's actually more to him than what it seems on the surface. Yes, he is religious but he isn't the type of guy you e-encounter that barges your home carrying a bible with the intention of preaching God's words (hello? Mormons?). No, he's not like that.......NOW. He's fond of giving advices and loves charity work, very sensitive and considerate, although, attributing to his young age, he's flailing sometimes. There have been circumstances he's acting up and rude (but that was before), he's fully aware of that and apparently, he was able to hold restraint of whatever undesirable characteristics situations may provoke such behavior. Daniel is a good man, a good friend and smart. It's totally amazing seeing him evolves into a man that he is right now in so little span. I can see that he's the man who has the perfect balance of good and limitations. He has an exquisite self-awareness of control, which may be taken wrongly for a boring personality.
Daniel is also outspoken and unlike others, he has transcended the manner of following the common perspective and have developed his own views (I'm very proud). He's fun, though his kind of fun may not be my cup of tea, but for sure his company is a staple to his circle of friends. Most of the time, he functions within the moral mores of his beliefs, making us both impossibly be friends in real life, BUT the most important aspect that I would like emphasize before ending this essay is his RESPECT towards other people who doesn't share his own opinions. And with that, he deserves respect in return.
I love this man. <3
Wooooow That's pretty accurate Lark, and I didn't think that you'd write in such detail. Thank-you so much though <3
Just genuinely curious though... what type of 'fun' do you speak of?

This is it for now. How was it, Sund?
Good work . I almost faint after I saw the beginning telling me that I was tall and and kinda skinny. I AM those two things, but my hair is all spiky . My older brother, however, is completely curly.
I liked the description you made about friends, I'm not worried on having a lot of friends, but to share and talk as much as possible with the people I am friends, I tend to give a lot of advice if my friends need some help, that's I think is my best quality . It's not my problem that then I suddenly have a lot of friends, haha. I think I'm very interested on see what people think and in this case I would consider myself as a very openminded person.
Now, I haven't played sports since January!!!!! But at least I go walking everyday, and my habits are completely weird . Maybe if I organize better, my habits won't be that weird for other people
I think the desciptions you made next were pretty accurate for me ,yes, I always like to learn new things I learn very fast BTW . Thank you very much Great job!!!
There are a lot of layers to her personality. In the following I will attempt to delve into what I think is an accurate description.
On the surface, Bea is a friendly, gentle, humble – but proud and steadfast – girl who is also very ambitious and self-aware. Her genuine honesty is undeniable, she dislikes unnecessary conflict, two-facedness, imitation and being fake. She values 'being yourself' and sincerity very highly. Being shallow is – to her – not as bad as lying to oneself not to be.
She shows great respect towards others as long as she is being respected, she expects to be treated the way she treats others. She is an extremely loyal friend, she doesn't call many people friends, but she would do everything for the ones she does, and she adapts to the people around her – if she's with her friends, she opens up a lot and shows her more joyful, fun side. On a side note, she greatly loves her pets, another sign pointing to her having a big heart.
She has her own little quirks and uncommon interests like being extremely enthusiastic about coffee, being on the phone a lot, playing video games, listening to a broad variety of music – aspects she jokingly refers to as 'weird' and to herself as a 'dork'.
Her outlook on life and career is based on happiness rather than success.
She has her sights set straight on specific goals and dreams and will stop at nothing to achieve it. In case things don't work out, she has multiple alternative plans just to be sure.
She is very ambitious and a hard worker, music is her passion and she has lots of experience in the field, something she does not shy away from putting to use. She drew this inspiration and passion from her mother. She also dreams of being famous one day.
Beneath the surface, there is pain.
Abuse at school and the Internet for being red-haired or her songs. Relationships that didn't work out.
Emotional scars that she always carries with her, but refuses to show. She is determined to not let anything from her past bring her down – a display of very strong will.
Bea is in a fulfilling, loving relationship that has matured for a long time. She is definitely not naive and has been through a lot.
She is a loving, caring and loyal person and if shown support by others (i.e. Towards her music), she gives incredible amounts of appreciation in return.
She tends to be slightly hard on herself and her voice, her overall confidence is occasionally disrupted by memories of the past and the less-than-respectful environment at school.
The lyrics she writes are very telling of her personality. They are concrete, straightforward, romantic, sensual, personal. She wants to be valued as opposed to being taken for granted.
Summing up, Bethany is like a flower. Beautiful from the outside and at her core, with a burdened, rebellious side beneath.
It is a tremendous honor for me to know such a wonderful person, and an enriching experience to write this.
