My Interests

I have always been, from a young age, interested in video games. They can take you to another world so easily and present you with exciting challenges. The feeling of completing one is always so gratifying and they can really spark your sense of adventure when they present you with a new place to explore.

I'm currently playing Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. The title translates roughly into "Another World," or "The Second Country/Land." It is a storybook-like JRPG and it has a beautiful art style and a massive world to explore. I feel like, although the combat is fine, it is not as good as it could be, but that isn't the main attraction point anyways and I heard that more options will become available once I get further in the game.

On the topic of other games, today is the day that The Wind Waker HD is released and it is part of my favorite series: The Legend of Zelda. I pre-ordered it and am expecting it soon. I've also pre-ordered Final Fantasy X. I'm in the middle of playing Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy VII, Super Metroid, Thomas Was Alone, and Earthbound  as well.

Captain Levi - English 11 characterization

Captain Levi is a character in Attack on Titan and is the leader of the Survey Corps. The Survey Corps is a military group with the focus of exploring the world beyond the massive walls that all humans reside within in the world of Attack on Titan. Outside of the walls lurk giant humanoid monsters called "titans."

Levi is known to be the best titan slayer in history. He is somewhat gloomy and introverted, as he usually walks around with a cold glare on his face and doesn't speak very often. Characters often call him a neat freak, because he is such a perfectionist. He is always calm and cool, being able to make hard decisions without hesitation such as when he had to beat the main character, Eren, to a bloody pulp to get him out of a death sentence, or when he had to throw his squadron's dead bodies out of a wagon to be able to move fast enough to escape from a titan.

His prowess in combat is displayed when an intelligent titan who killed hundreds of men in the survey corps and seemed unstoppable is sliced to shreds at blinding speeds by Levi himself. It is the first time viewers are shown Levi in action and it is stunning. At first Levi seems like a bad person, but as the story unfolds, it is slowly shown that he is actually a caring person who does what he knows has to be done, even if he doesn't want to.
