1: Would you describe yourself as a Hero or a Villain?~ I believe I’m a hero. The art of spoken word shall not be tarnished by someone with a dark soul, hence making me a tragic hero in a world where darkness seems to be at large. 2: What's your strategy going to be like?~Strategy? No. Character. Yes. Semhar will be SUPER nice, but over-senstive, I want her to have an alliance that is tight and then when its time to vote she would vote with her heart even if her alliance says otherwise. And she would make poems about random crap. Emotional train-wreck <3 3: Do you know anyone coming into the game?~ I think I recognize one SN, but I am not super close with that person, I just think they are funny. Jay, I think they are playing. 4: What reason did you have for selecting the character you're playing as?~I want to provide entertainment, past seasons have had such strong characters that I thought we needed one as well. I might not be a total villain but hopefully I will stand out and provide some well needed entertainment in a cast that seems very strategy-based, which can get boring. 5: What's one word you would use to describe your gameplay or personality?~EMOTIONAL-TRAIN-WRECK. See how I made it one? Smart, huh? 6. Any other comments?~I sure hope you assholes find Semhar entertaining  - In the event that you're tied with someone else for most votes after a re-vote at Tribal Council, we'll move onto a tie breaker challenge between the two who are tied.

It's a sign of greatness.
I'm sure you will be very entertaining, Semhar. If you ever feel like getting in some extracurricular poetry practice, I absolutely love having poems written about me. <3

If you had to compare yourself to one tragic hero from literature who would it be?

If you had to compare yourself to one tragic hero from literature who would it be? Guinevere, because she is the ultimate damsel in distress. She was basically useless and she had two different knights in Shining Armour, like that I plan Semhar to try to align with strong males to "save" her, but once her emotional train-wreckness gets her in trouble she shall jump to the next one. Just like Guinevere had an affair with King Arthur's best knight, Lancelot. |

LOVE. <3 Which literary period would you say is your favorite? I'm a fan of 19th-century lit myself. Greek and Roman mythology are my favorites by far, not a huge fan of Plato, Socrates and all of their ramblings. But the mythological aspect is absolutely amazing. The Odyssey and The Iliad are definitively some of my favorites. I also really enjoy modern literature, though, such as The Hunger Games and The Summoning and things of that nature. |

Haven't read The Summoning, but I'm not in awe of The Hunger Games. I found the first one in a bookstore, read the back, and immediately said "Okay, I'm going to guess right off the top of my head that X and X and X will happen, X and X will have a thing, and X will turn out not to have been X." Just by reading the back covers of books two and three, I turned out to be 100% correct, so I only bothered reading the first one. I did like it, but I spent the entire time thinking that it was almost exactly like Koushun Takami's Battle Royale, except not as compelling. If you enjoy The Hunger Games, I seriously recommend reading that.
And, mm, I love the classics as well. They were some of my favourite stories growing up, and I just recently finished an in-depth study of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and Euripides' The Bacchae. Wonderful stuff. In fact, I actually based some of the Succubus mythos around various classic legends, as well as a splash of the Discworld pantheon. (Incidentally, another series you'd probably definitely enjoy, as you're an intelligent humorous person.)
And, yes, Socrates is incredibly dry at times, and there's more than one occasion where I've wanted to pop him for being so darn smug, but he does raise some interesting points from time to time. Tragically, I've never gotten around to reading the original versions of either The Iliad or The Odyssey, though.

I actually watched the Battle Royale movie, I didn't know it was a book, in all reality, but I do see where they are kind of similar. I wouldn't read the book though, simply because I already know what's going to happen so it won't have the same impact. What I love about The Hunger Games is that not only is it a really good story [granted, somewhat predictable] but it has a lesson, because of the way the story keeps going. It's about war and how it affects all of those involved even if they are just innocent bystanders. So I love that about it, a book that is amazing AND carries a message is always way better.
What is the Discworld about? I have read a little of the Bacchae, I believe, but I haven't actually read either of those. No time, with College to ever read, I'm afraid. I do love basing characters or story-arcs around the Greek and other legends, makes it fun. I used to host a series where Greek Mythology had a huge impact on everything.
You must read the Iliad and The Odyssey, though, they are truly amazing!
