Skype Name: I do not have Skype as of now, though one could be made if required.
Past infraction(s)/ban(s): None
Past clan(s) and why you left: --
Any clan member(s) that you know: I am not familiar with anyone's name here.

=== I. Rationale
Answer as completely as possible, in a paragraph or more for each:

--- Who are you?
Л I am a collection of materials that has somehow garnered consciousness. I also seem to be of the Homo Sapiens species. A bit more practical answer is that I am the sum of all of my experiences, of which there are relatively few.

--- Why do you want to join this particular clan, as opposed to another clan?
Л This seems to be a very intellectual clan, given the topic titles. Looks may be deceiving, however.

--- How might you contribute to Metagame, and, in addition, how might the clan be beneficial to you?
Л I am an (albeit inexperienced) artist, but other than that, I do not have anything that could benefit the clan other than company.

--- What experiences have you had with the game and/or the Toribash forum community?
Л I will admit, I have had no experience whatsoever with the game nor its inhabitants.

=== II. Temperament
Answer as you see fit:

--- Do you consider yourself an optimist or pessimist? Idealist, or cynic? Explain.
Л I am a stark pragmatist. Everything is what it is, and I will not waste resources trying to save a lost cause.

--- What is the meaning and/or purpose of life?
Л From my own experience and observation, simply to procreate and advance the human race as a whole.

--- What is your stance on morality? Is it objective or subjective?
Л That is a loaded question, and any answer will anger one group of people or another.

--- What is "love"?
Л "Baby don't hurt me."
In all seriousness, love is a chemical response to external stimuli within the brain.

=== III. Aptitude
Provide at least three (3) pieces of art, and/or replays.

--- Attach your best replay(s). Both single-player and multiplayer replays are acceptable.
Л As previously stated, I have no in-game experience as of yet.

--- Include art or any other works that you've made, be they Toribash-related or not.
Л

--- Optionally, write a paragraph explaining any other skills that you may have. (If, for any reason, you are unable to meet the above condition for this section, this is not optional.)
Л As far as I can tell, this clan is a bright group. I imagine there are many discussions that fall out of the normal category of small talk that other clans might engage in. I believe I can add to these discussions and provide a unique viewpoint to discussions and provide a comfortable atmosphere for those involved.

=== IV. Perception
Answer to the best of your ability:

--- In which font does this post appear?
Л It seems to be some form of Courier.

--- Provide the name of this character: Л
Л The character used to indicate response areas here is called a guillemet, or angle quotes.

=== V. Reflection
Thoughts, concerns, possible scathing witticisms:

--- Your thoughts on the application process, in particular, this form? Do you have a specific reason for why you favoured "Hard Mode" over "Easy Mode"?
Л This is admittedly a hard form. I have not looked at Easy Mode's form, but I imagine it isn't nearly as invasive as this. That said, this is a great way to screen new applicants, especially since most people don't look at the spoilers in application threads.

--- At least one of the questions on this form, in part or in whole, required you to think in an unusual manner (i.e., shift your mental gears, so to speak). What have you learned about yourself, after completing your application?
Л The first question that forced me to really evaluate myself was the one that asked about my orientation towards optimistic or pessimistic. I had not thought about my stance on that beforehand, though the question on morality was one that I have pondered.
