Just 4? That's nothing :D

1. YES

2. Uh, having interests 'outside the box', mostly gaming (be it RPG or computer, preferably both), but not limited to other stuff like being really into game/book/movie lore, like reading 50% of the ingame TES books, all the ME1 codexes, or stuff like that. Hard to place on specific things, it's the sum of all factors.

3. All day? Really, i'm online even in class (College is boring), thanks to having a laptop. Depends though, if i don't have to leave the house, i'm on the computer for up to 16hrs per day, 11 if i have to get up the next day. During the week it's less, i have classes on wednesday, thursday and friday for varying amounts of time, so you can count those days as semi-offline.

4. See above. Video games mostly, but i occasionally mix my Minecraft texture pack when an update comes out (my personal obsession), when i'm not playing i'm browsing the net while listening to music.

5. Yes, all of them (Those that are not, aren't my friends because i can't find a common language with non-nerds).

6. See above. I don't take into account relationships that i'm forced to (Lecturers, etc).

7. Uh, i don't really think being online is a requirement, it's more about having weird interests, dreams and the like ("normal" people don't dream of becoming synthetic, immortal, star-faring organisms having full control over their evolution, don't they?).

8. Tea, definitely. I only drink soda on occasion, but i'm not big on it. As for coffee, i only drink it for practical reasons, and when i DO need to drink coffee, i mix up such a condensed cup of caffeine that would make a horse's heart explode (But i don't have to sleep for 48 hours after that, so it's worth it). Oh right, tea - I like the taste of any tea, so i'll drink pretty much anything that has "TEA" on the box, my favourite is mint though, preferably self-grown.

9. Colors: Blue, especially cobalt blue, and all kinds of green, including stuff in between like turquoise.
Food: Anything that's dry, doesen't get cold, and can be divided into small portions. That means crisps, peanuts, popcorn, french fries or fruit. I really despise eating, so eating dinner is an arduous experience for me. Especially considering the fact that i need very little sustenance, something which my mother fails to understand...
Music: Ah yes, i would go crazy without music. Well, craziER. I have a wide range of taste in music, but my absolute all time favourite is ambient, especially industrial or dark ambient (Atrium Carceri, Letum, etc), but i also love game and movie soundtracks. I don't really listen to any particular band much, with the exception of Sigur Ros, Enigma and Enya (And a few others, *cough*).

10. Yes... I sort-of have a dog. But you see, i live in a block of flats, so the dog was mostly alone all day whining, and at one point the neighbors made the police force me into putting it down or giving it away (I don't want to talk about it). The dog ended up living at my grandma's house. She has more space to run around there, but she's obese because of my grandpa overfeeding her, and i always get the impression that she's bored stiff each time i see her.
Used to have others pets, but let's just say this topic is something i prefer not to think about.

11. Do multiple personalities count? (No, really).

12. Used to play Lineage 2, but i always get bored by the time any character reaches L30, that's when the sick grind begins. I LOVE EVE Online, but i'm trying to avoid it because it's expensive (both in time and money), i always want to go back, but i know that would be a bad idea. I kinda want to check out WoW, but i know it would end up like it always does - me playing an MMO all alone by myself.

13. No, i hate card games (all kinds, i'm just incapable of understanding the rules of card games), as for pokemon, i grew up when it was all the rage, but i always failed to see the appeal. Guess i'm not a CCTG person.

14. See above.

15. Dance Dance Revolution? Fuck no. If i were an elemental, my sphere would be ice, so dancing and fluid movements are out of the question (That, and i just don't understand dance).

16. Yes, all of the above, plus my crippling insanity and general social awkwardness. I'm pretty sure i've always been mad and nerdy, it's just that the symptoms grow in strength with age.

Wow. Hm... I don't think multiple personalities truly count as nerdiness, considering Nikki Minaj isn't the only one with them, [I can sooo make a list.] but they're awesome. :] I think they're a good way to cope with situations.

I know, but the question was about characters. As i don't draw or write anything, i don't have a 'character' per se (Since i'm not a furry).
But i have multiple personalities, sooo... yeah.

I think that you do have to be somewhat crazy to be a nerd (Though not nearly as much as i am, just the spark of chaos).

Hmm... Perhaps. Pretty sure with out some form of quirkiness we'd never have the stuff inspired as we do these days.

I find SL and IMVU hard to describe as nerdy unless you're a major designer, considering there's not much else to do but I guess socialize, or roleplay. xD Flaunting fashion. Ehe.

xD Your secret's safe with me.

I consider myself a geek, the stereotype that females aren't or not as geeky is kind of absurd in my opinion.

Why?
This is similar to:
"Who's better, makes or females?" and you would never get an answer :P

Just enjoy being a geek because chances are being a geek is in demand :3

Nothing to do with who's better. Nothing to do with males, or even inspired by other than the fact that.. I think I'm pretty nerdy for a female; but there can be different views of what makes a nerd (femme), reasoning, opinions, or other styles of nerdism if that were ever a word! [Hence why hobbies was added in there.]

I'm not a male, otherwise I would have asked males. xD

Yes, because my artwork and game development relies on my knowledge of computers, technical terms and so on.
If I wasn't a nerd, game development wouldn't be in my realm :P

Oh, a nerd is someone who is knowledgeable in computers and hardware plus tries out the newest in tech, simply playing games and internet usage does not make you a nerd but rather a social media and gaming addict :P

1. Do you consider yourself a nerd?
I would've said no until I read the Wiki article on nerds. I actually think I fit pretty damn well into this category. :U I'm not like, super intelligent, but otherwise I suppose you could say I'm a nerd.

2. What do you think requires to be a nerd?
Intelligent, awkward, having strong interests in things that aren't very popular.

3. How many hours are you online? Daily or Weekly?
Literally all day. I'm not even kidding. Before I got a real job last week, I would wake up at 8-9 am and do internet work for my fiance and immediately after I'd browse the internet and it'd stay that way until midnight. ALL DAY INTERNET. I take breaks to spend a little time in my backyard, eat, shower, etc.

4. How many hours do you spend on a nerdy hobby, and what is it?
Well, I love video games. I put about 50 hours into Skyrim in a few days until I got my job. I've played almost every single main Pokemon game plus a few of the offshoots. I collect Pokemon and Magic the Gathering cards. I also draw a LOT, if that's nerdy?

5. Are your friends nerds?
Iunno, I guess.

6. What's the ratio of nerds you hang out with if you could guess?
I don't really have any friends irl other than my two roommates, who I met on FA. I've got a few other FA friends as well but we don't hang very often. I'd suppose that yes, the people I do hang with are all pretty much nerds.

7. How many hours online do you think is required for nerd title? [Or hobbies included.]
Iunno. 5?

8. Tea, Soda, or coffee? What kind?
Coke. Only Coke.

9. Favorite color and food? Music?
Teal. Fish. All kinds. Bloc Party, Hot Chip and Foster the People are my favorites atm.

10. Any pets? Virtual pets?
Two cats. Lots of Pokemon.

11. How many characters do you have? (Be they MMO characters, or just random things you draw or write about.)
Oh my. At least 25 OC furries and such. I've got a bunch of videogame characters as well but that's silly to list them all.

12. Do you have a favorite MMO? (IMVU, SecondLife, Aeon, World of WarCraft, or any other Mass Media Online games.)
I like the idea of MMOs but none of them appeal enough. Does Diablo 2 count? I really like that game. I wish with all my heart that they'd make a good Pokemon MMO :(

13. Have you ever played Magic The Gathering/Pokemon/Digimon, or things similiar? (This includes from the video games to the card games.)
Yes yes and no.

14. Do you still?
Yes to both.

15. DDR?
I used to play that game every single day. I worked at a gaming center and I'd stay late after work just to play it. It was my favorite for the longest time. I don't have a good mat anymore though. :/ We have one but its like, really complicated to set up and takes up space and just annoying. Oh well.

Last but not least.
16. Do you think any of these things relate to your life style of nerdiness or NON-nerdiness? If so, why? Go crazy.
I knew card games were kinda nerdy but I am so removed from other people that I sometimes forget just how nerdy I am :P

You know, now I have to check wiki on this. @_@

Yeah. I used to drink coke... until I took an arrow to the can. Now I just stand around hyped up on coffee, shaking my cup at lucky youthful coke drinkers.

Pokemon MMO... gosh. Yeah. Since pokemon was on Nintendo 64 once I think? Gosh. I had always wished for one to come out. Haha.
