The Knight's City Guard

Congrats! Only 10-13% of the population score this!

The Knight’s City Guard is characterized by the desire to serve others in times of need. Sometimes this drive is so powerful that the standard ‘give-and-take’ is unsatisfying. They are bound very much to social convention and don’t like to include moral or political controversy. The City Guard is often forgotten because they are so reliable. They are loyal and great producers of quality – which end up allowing others to take for granted what the City Guard gives. They are hurt by being treated as a doormat but are unwilling to toot their own horn about accomplishments. This is due to that it feels somewhat wrong to want a reward for doing work which is a virtue in itself.

The City Guard can be overworked and suffer from self inflicted headaches. They are methodical workers with good memories and analytical abilities. They are great in small groups because of their patience. They make pleasant co-workers and better employees. They tend to feel a bit harried by supervisory roles. They form strong loyalties of a personal nature. This is opposed to institutional loyalty. If someone leaves the company that’s close to this type – they may leave as well. They are perfect as teachers, administrators, clerics and fit right in amongst nursing or medical careers.

The Knight’s City guard is concerned with harmony and traditional behavior. They have a few close friends and are extremely loyal. Don’t confront them, they hate that. Also if the Knight’s City Guard is moody – it could be because they haven’t shared something of importance. Most friends of the City Guard feel ashamed later when finding out why the Guard refused to share the source of their trouble. This ‘Pawn’ is wonderful because they are the diplomat of emotions and needs. They are society’s most constructive and protective member.

The Queen's Knight

The Queen’s Knight is armed with rose-colored glasses. The mundane comes to life and nature becomes expressive of spirit. The interesting thing about this Knight is the ability to switch from fantasy to reality. There are exceptions to the rule, but this is the type that may have had imaginary friends as a youngster. Their stuffed animals also were great companions. The Queen’s Knight will see the good in almost anyone or anything – but their depth of emotion can remain hidden even from themselves. Circumstances tend to reveal sudden responses.

Not all life is rosy and this Knight is not exempt from disappointment or frustration with humanity. They may feel incompetence when dealing with their own ethical values. Things aren’t simply white black, but a grand battle of Good versus Evil. Evil must be reckoned with but Good shall eventually win. It is not that they fight evil, but that they fight for the essence of moral good. Doing something good is quite satisfactory for them and indeed increases their happiness. It is when something is not reciprocated to them that they are saddened and disappointed by others. They learn that others aren’t as self-sacrificing.

The Queen's Knight is dominated by an inner world of intense feeling and deeply rooted ethics. They seek to form their life based on their views. They are highly curious of those around them so are readily accepting of others unless their values are being threatened. They promote insight and understanding amongst others and contribute well thought ideas. They however can be a bit too idealistic.

*curious* What do you think of the accuracy of this one?

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I guess they seem pretty accurate. Poorly-written, but accurate.

What do you think?

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

About the same thing actually. Of course, as with all such things, the accuracy only goes so far and is rather open to interpretation.

Can we talk about having a baby soon?

Are you hurt by being treated as a doormat?

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

If you wish.

I have never really thought that I had been treated that way, actually.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

You have been. I saw it all the time at the church, the way everyone took you for granted. And don't get me started on people who are supposed to be your friends who don't show up when you need them. I mean, you must have friends, right? You're old! Surely there's somebody who should be standing by you. You know you'd drop anything for them if they needed you.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I do have people that stand by me, in their own way.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Hmph. In their own way meaning when they feel like it, and only then.

I've been there. I know what it feels like. You put up with too much.


ooc: tee hee!

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

They are there when I ask for their help, and that is all that matters to me.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Hmph.

...

Are your expectations of me that low too?

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I don't consider them to be low, however there is a difference between you and my friends.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

What expectations do you have of me?

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I think that may be one of those loaded questions that I have heard so much about.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

I don't mean it to be. It's not a trick. I genuinely want to know what expectations you have.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I try not to have them because I have often found that having expectations leads to being disappointed more often then not. We tend to expect things of others that only leads to heartache when those expectations aren't met. I would much rather go into a relationship expecting nothing, and being surprised and grateful for those things that I do receive.

I was not expecting love with you, and yet I am more grateful than I can say for having it happen.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

...

I'm not sure what to think. I can't imagine not having expectations. Even though I wasn't expecting love with you, either.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

It took me quite some time to be able to live that way, and it hasn't always been easy.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I like it.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

Why?

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Because it leaves me flying blind if I don't know what you expect. Or want. I don't know what you want me to do. What do you want from me? Anything?

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I want us to find that place where we are happy and comfortable both with each other and with ourselves.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

That's very nonspecific. I mean, I want that too, don't think I don't, but I don't know how to contribute to that in the ways you would like me to.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I do not want you doing things because that is what you think that I want. I want you doing them because it is what you want to do.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Grr.

But what if there isn't any particular think I want except wanting to know what you want?

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

Then we may have a bit of a problem as there really isn't anything that I want other than to be with you.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Remember that remark the next time I do something you don't like.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I will certainly try to do so should that happen.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

There's no "should" about it. Two people can't live together without getting on each other's nerves at times. Especially in a Manhattan apartment where they're practically on top of each other all the time.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

All right then, when.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Grr.

Now you're just humoring me.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

It is not that I am trying to humor you, but that I believe your assessment and therefore I am changing my own.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Oh.

...

I'm sorry.

You're very hard to read sometimes. I don't understand you very well.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I do not try to be difficult in that respect, but I know that sometimes I can be a bit too conservative in how I say something, which might make it harder to deduce my real meaning. It is one of those things that I am working on.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Have you ever watched the original series of Star Trek?

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I have heard of it, but I have not seen it.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

My cousin Iggy was obsessed by it when we were growing up. He made me watch reruns with him.

We should get the DVDs some time. I'd be curious to see what you think of some of the characters. Like Spock, for example. Especially Spock.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I am sure we can manage to arrange that for some quiet weekend.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

It will be interesting to see what your response it.


ooc: ahahaha, what would Darius think of Spock?! Enquiring minds WANT to know!

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

Is that a good thing? *curious now*

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

If you think "interesting" can be called either good or bad, I suppose so.

I can order the DVDs if you want to give it a try.


ooc: I would almost like to do this as a way of opening up some discussion between them sometime, no hurry of course. A lot of their life is going to consist of talk for a while, I think, unless you can think of other things to try.

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I think that might be fun. Let's go ahead and try them.

Re: locked

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

I'll put them in the Netflix queue. Maybe we can do a marathon some weekend soon.


ooc: ahahaha, now I want to watch the first two seasons of Star Trek ALL OVER AGAIN! *shakes fist*

Re: locked

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

That sounds good.
