Hello hello everyone, Emer Dareloth here with yet another "get to know you" question-and-answer thread! This thread is both a follow-up to this one from a month ago, and I'm posting it with the hope that it will help us all get to know the people on the other side of the screen! As always, you don't need to answer any of these questions if you don't want to! Now let's get to it!

About You On-Site:
When you were little, what was your dream career?
Heh, I have no idea. I didn't really have a dream career when I was a kid, just rolled with whatever was happening.
Do you have any favorite books/movies/television shows? If so, what are they?
Eh, too many probably. Movies, I enjoy any Marvel/DC movie, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter Star Wars, 300 (The first movie, not the moderately bad sequel), Dark Knight series, the entire Rocky franchise (1-->Creed, didn't hate any of them). Books would probably be Harry Potter, Star Wars, LotR, the Inheritance Cycle (at least until Inheritance, never liked the final book). TV, eh that's just too long to list, so my top 3 would probably be Walking Dead, House and the Fate anime series (Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Zero, Unlimited Bladeworks).
What are you afraid of?
Spiders are evil, evil creatures. I've been terrified of heights for years (not as bad now as it used to be, you still won't find me going anywhere high by choice though).
What's your most embarrassing memory? (keep it clean people )
I have no idea...Honestly I don't focus on what embarrass me all that much, I push it to the side most of the time.
What was your favorite subject in school?
History, always has been and still is (Currently doing a Double Major in College, which is Year 11/12 here, don't ask why, but that's how my individual territory works in Australia)
What is your favorite food?
Edible food I'll admit I probably eat a bit too much, I'm a big fan of food, eating it definitely but cooking to an extent as well (mostly baking).
Do you have any heroes? If you do, who are they and why?
Not really, I'm inspired sure by people, but I don't really have heroes in the normal sense.
Do you have a "prized possession"? If so, what is it?
Eh, no? I dunno really...
Which part of the Vault do you hang around in most of the time? Why?
The main page, but other then that, definitely the Workshop. I might have dropped of a teeny bit lately, but regardless of whether or not I still host the group, I have a responsibility to pass on my knowledge, and I think that it's one thing I'm actually kind of decent at.
Are there any groups that you haven't joined yet? If so, what're you waiting for?!
The Consulate And I'm just waiting to overthrow the Admins with the power of...I dunno, status updates talking about bread?
If you were put in charge for a day, what would you change? (you'd get rid of Paul, wouldn't you, you little bastard )
*Cough*...Umm let's skip this one, nobody has the time to here my master plan but for one, every group would be changed to have Corner in the title
Do you think there is anything that could be done to make the Vault a better place? If so, what is it?
These are designed to stump me aren't they, admit it. I don't really have the time to comment on it in this thread, and I'm not in the mood to piss everyone off at the moment, but rest assured there are numerous thing I would do.
What's your fondest memory of the Vault?
My entire time as Workshop Host (well, at least the Workshop related stuff). It was definitely the bright spot, both as a member and Host.
Would you say that your an active member here? Why or why not?
Yeah I'd say I am. According to the little, members thing in each group (which I've been told is based of activity) I'm the most active member to date in both the Workshop and Gaming Corner (I won't lie, I definitely haven't been active in the RPG Group), 5th most active in the Gateway, somehow I'm the 6th most active member of the Art Group (I'm very confused by this too), 8th most active CB member and the 21st most active Lore Member (Whoo). 9th most active member in Classics, and I somehow managed 3rd most active Tips and Tricks Member. In other words, if I'm in a group actively, I'm very active in that group, and put all I have into it.
Do you participate in any of the competitions that we have? Have you ever won any of them?
I've participated in all the Giveaways I think, oh and I entered an Art Contest and 2 CB Contests but no I've never won anything.
Would you rather be "just a member" or would you rather make a name for yourself here?
Fuck, that's hard...Honestly I feel I've already made a name for myself, as that "Workshop Guy" or that "Guy who has too many opinions and states them too often" depending on who you talk to On one hand, I feel like the Hosting position isn't for me anymore, but I feel like it would allow me to help out the groups I want to help out in a more official position. At the moment, I'm doing what I can as a member to help out around the site (Mostly CB, Lore and the Workshop) but if I was a Host I could do it easier.
Eh, we'll say both and neither for now
How did you find out about the Vault?
No idea, searching for builds probably.
Have you ever posted something here that you're proud of?
I posted a sweet status about Ducks once, that was a particularly proud moment
But really, sure, I have 3 Hall of Fame Builds, good old Heroic has done a video feature of one of my builds, and I have some kickass builds that I enjoy (and really, none of them are HoF, or really even Mythic Builds).
Other then that, nothing that's still on the site.

5) Science.
6) Steak
7) Shigeru Myamoto, the maker of Mario, Zelda, Starfox and Donkey Kong, games that have a special place in my heart. I even named my Khajiit Thalmor Slayer after him. Funny though the japanese name of Gary Oak (the rival of Ash in pokemon) is Shigeru.

7) No.
8) Just a member.
9) I was looking for a Khajiit mage build when I bumped to Flame of Magrus. This is how I discovered the site.
10) My Khajiit warrior Vashani
I think I helped with an event build once, but honestly I don't remember...
Most builders would kill to have a build with 100+ likes and meanwhile here you are forgetting about one of yours.
Off-Site:
1. Fashion designer. Yes, I was that silly
2. I don't have one favorite. So many beautiful books and movies I'read and watched, it could be a long, long list.
3. To make a mistake I won't be able to correct. To make mistakes in general. To hurt the people who are dear to me. To be an unworthy person.
4. All these times I have been a blondie doll or an arrogant stubborn b***h. Even you guys here might have seen some of these.
5. History of arts and literature.
6. Various Japanese foods and fresh salads.
7. Many people are heroes, every one in their own aspect. It's not hard to be my hero, just show the beauty of your soul and you'll have this Justiciar as your adoring fan))
8. I don't know, to be honest I don't think I have any worth mentioning. I'll let you judge)
9. Well, I am arrogant, stubborn, can't shut up, always say stupid things, emotionless, egoistic. Which of these is the worst?
10. Hmm... That probably would be my mother's earrings. They are nothing special and aren't expencive either, but they are the only thing I heve left from her so...
On-Site:
1. Lore and the Story Corner. Probably because I'm a nerd who loves reading
2. Yes, of course. I have joined only a few. Like, I haven't joined any of Fallout. And don't think I ever will, because I don't play it.
3. If I was offered such a thing, I'd run off screaming in horror.
4. Move from Ning.
5. I loved our little Dragon Breaks of discussions with the folks in the Lore group. Maybe there will yet be some more of those. I hope.
6. Yes and no. I do throw in a lot of comments, but nothing really useful.
7. No. I don't think I ever could.
8. I don't think I'd ever be able to do something big enough for that)
9. I was looking for some Altmeri lore on google)
10. Not really. I've never posted anything significant. Only loads of Thalmor pictures which aren't enough to be proud.
------------------------------------
Wow! After reading the first two answers, I thought perhaps that you had stolen my life xD
Actually that isn't 100% true; I still haven't read the Mistborn series (though I've heard nothing but good things about it). The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies (and books), and I really got into Dune in the early 90's.
About You Off-Site:
When you were little, what was your dream career?
Three way tie between marine biologist, oceanographer, and firefighter
Do you have any favorite books/movies/television shows? If so, what are they?
Books: LOtR/Hobbit, Ender’s Shadow, Three Men in a Boat, The Innocents Abroad, and Bridge of Birds
Movies: The Princess Bride, Raising Arizona, and Birdemic (must have the Rifftrax playing with it… otherwise this is my least favorite movie xD)
TV: Marvel Agents of Shield, Flash, Arrow, Castle, and Elementary.
What are you afraid of?
Tarantulas. While I don’t get all cuddly with spiders, I’m not really afraid of them, but tarantulas are a different thing entirely. Look, tarantulas, if you’re going to be a spider, get rid of the freaking hair… hair is for mammals. If you’re going to be a mammal, ditch the four extra legs. You can’t have it both ways—that is an abomination!
What's your most embarrassing memory? (keep it clean people )
High school rally. I was on the track team, and they were announcing all the seniors. The idea was they would say your name, and you would run down this ramp, join your teammates at the bottom for high-fives and the typical jockery and shenanigans. There was a power-cord running across the bottom of the ramp, but they had duck taped it down so no one would trip. Well, my last name comes toward the end of the alphabet, and the people before me had loosened the tape, bit by bit, until there was almost half an inch sticking up off the floor… it was enough.
I wish I had only tripped, but the momentum from the ramp threw me forward, and as I desperately tried to catch my balance, I kept falling more and more forward until I was stumbling about on all fours like some drunk bear. Eventually my arms couldn’t keep up, and I found myself face down sliding in to my teammates. I can’t remember, but some of my buddies said that I took an additional couple of steps even after I had fallen on my face. All I do remember is when I popped back up, there were no high-fives, jockery, or shenanigans. There were a lot of observations that a varsity high jumper and high hurdles runner was unable to clear a one inch power-cord.
What was your favorite subject in school?
Physical Science, Geometry, and PE.
What is your favorite food?
El Salvadoran pupusas
Do you have any heroes? If you do, who are they and why?
My folks and the Missus. It is impossible not to admire the epic amount of patience they have shown over the years ;D
What would you say is your best quality?
While I find it almost impossible to pick just one, I think my best quality would be my near deific sense of humility.
What would you say is your worst?
Using humor to get out of having to say things that I don’t want to… like what my best quality is.
Do you have a "prized possession"? If so, what is it?
My hammock camping gear, part of a petrified tree that has grown amethysts on the inside, and an ostrich egg that I hollowed out (they still talk about the 8 person omelet I made from that).
About You On-Site:
Which part of the Vault do you hang around in most of the time? Why?
Mainly the CB group, but I’ve dipped a toe in just about all of the groups. I tend to focus mainly on CB because that is what brought me here originally, I still play Skyrim regularly and am always looking for the next cool build to run, and it provides me with a creative outlet for those times I feel like sharing one of my own builds.
Are there any groups that you haven't joined yet? If so, what're you waiting for?!
I’ve joined 9 different groups… there have to be some others that I’m missing, but I just don’t know what they are xD
If you were put in charge for a day, what would you change?
I would impeach myself… worst administrator/host ever! xD
Do you think there is anything that could be done to make the Vault a better place? If so, what is it?
I don’t think I’m overreacting when I say that ning seems to take a personal pleasure in tormenting me. I have been pimp-slapped by that platform for three years. If I could somehow find a machine that turned inanimate objects into human beings, I would use it on ning, push it to the ground, and then steal its milk money… and ning would still come out ahead.
What's your fondest memory of the Vault?
There have been too many funny/cool discussions, threads, and comments to count, otherwise all of those would be my fondest memory. But for the sake of choosing a single thing, I would say my fondest memory would be the Character Building Event: Resurrection… there was participation on a massive scale, some fantastic builds came out of it, and it was my first event and collaboration.
Would you say that your an active member here? Why or why not?
I hop onto the site daily, though I don’t always contribute or comment. Time constraints have made it so I’m not nearly as active as I have been, but I’d still say I’m active.
Do you participate in any of the competitions that we have? Have you ever won any of them?
I have competed in three CB competitions and have won exactly none of them… thank you for dredging up my past failures ;D
Would you rather be "just a member" or would you rather make a name for yourself here?
I like to contribute, though I don’t know if I necessarily care about making a name for myself. I suppose if I can get people to hear the name ‘ShinJin’ without thinking, “That guy’s a freaking jerk,” then I’ll be pretty happy… that’s all I want from my real life as well.
How did you find out about the Vault?
I was getting bored with Skyrim, googled Skyrim builds, found Ponty’s Skystrider, and said, “I gotta check this place out!”
Have you ever posted something here that you're proud of?
I really enjoyed being able to write Elysium’s Hidden Builder Spotlight.
