"If you want to find what you're looking for, just follow the map. But, if you want to find something exciting, how about we head off in to uncharted territory...."

Hi, my name is Qualeo! I'm new to the Jellybean dragon community and hope to be able to join all the fun with my very own bean! I haven't been able to win one yet, but I'm hoping I might get it this time. If I don't win, then hey, I'll know this isn't the bean for me. I think that the bean I win will be the perfect one for me because..well..I will have won it! Maybe this will be my bean?

After much thought, I decided that the name Uncharted would be perfect for this bean. I actually did consider many other names, some extremely obvious while the others not so obvious. However, after much time and deliberation, I decided Uncharted was the perfect name.
Why, you ask, did I chose Uncharted? Well...
Whenever I see I'm watching movies that include some form of map and treasure hunting, I always think to myself "hey, I wonder what else could be on the map outside of the X that marks the spot.."
I like to sit there and imagine these amazing hidden treasures, far greater than the ones that the explorers are looking for on the maps. When I sat down to look at this bean, I saw an explorer in him. The only difference between him and the generic explorers, however, is that I see him as a Bean who would explore everything around him. He would never let himself stick to the map, ignoring the hidden treasures that lay in uncharted territory.

Uncharted is, and always will be, 100% percent pure male. Even if you had not told us not to change the gender, I think I would honestly continue to stick with male.

Uncharted is fairly simple and hates to be loaded with many unneccessary items that may hinder his exploring. At the same time, though, he enjoys accessories that have some use to him or look "sharp".
C O M P A S S ✖ P E N D A N T His first accessory is a compass pendant, something that he finds both stylish and useful. Ever since he was a young bean, Uncharted has actually had a terrible sense of direction. While he finds no problem with this, as he enjoys being lost, he still decided a compass would be useful. He does actively try to use his pendant only as an accessory, as he loves the thrill of exploring the unknown. Sometimes, however, he is forced to use it as a real compass to find his way home. His next, and final, accessory is much more elaborate than the pendant. It is steampunk in nature and Uncharted absolutely adores it. He finds it extremely useful and stylish at the same time. He carries all of his small tools he uses to explore in the small holes in his hat a feature that he never ignores. Being a Bean that dislikes carrying too much, this hat is PERFECT for Uncharted.

Uncharted is a very unique bean who actively goes out of his way to become lost somewhere. He has always been an odd bean, preferring solitude over company and disregarding any rules. In fact, he is considered quite the trouble maker and extremely hard to get along with. He just simply does not do well with other Beans socially. He dislikes assistance or other Bean's getting involved in his exploring, regarding them a a hindrance. Uncharted, unfortunately, is a very independent Bean.
Despite his social flaws and lack of good judgement, his "explorer" attitude is quite something. His thirst for adventure generally causes him to act without thinking; his survival knowledge and instincts only kicking in after he has already lost himself. While most beans would panic or worry about the thought of being lost forever, Uncharted reacts quite differently. Losing himself in the woods or a cave feeds his need for adventure, overtaking any form of fear or regret he normally would have felt. This does not mean he fears nothing, however, as he does have his own box of fears hidden in the back of his mind. He hates others knowing about his fears, however, so he actively avoids any situation that might allow others to find out his deepest fears. This need for secrecy tends to clash with his need for adventure, usually putting him in a bad mood for the rest of the day. He considers ignoring an opportunity for excitement a waste.
Uncharted is also not one to settle down for too long; so any future with a family for him is very unlikely. He could never imagine himself committing to anyone or anything for too long, as it lowers the chances of something interesting happening. Well, that is how he assumes a family life would be anyways. He is paranoid about many things most beans would consider "normal", a trait that his earned him the nickname "crazy" on many occasions. He is hard to offend, however, as he finds nicknames and bullying "childish". However, if you insult him as an explorer, you may very well find yourself being chased by a very grumpy bean.

**A story from Uncharted himself!
"Finally, I get to speak for myself! How let's see...what story should I tell to all of you....aha! I know the perfect one! Beware, this story is not for the faint of heart!"
"So, there I was, soaking wet from a day's worth of swimming in the nearby ocean. I had always loved the ocean, mostly because of the vast amount of unexplored territory out there. Can you just imagine all the hidden treasures just waiting to be found? Anyways, I had just returned from swimming and diving in the salty sea when I found myself not quite where I expected to be. I had originally intended to head back to my shack on the beach. Instead, I found myself on a different beach and island!"
"Now, upon realizing that I was lost on an unknown island, possibly far from any civilization, I did what any normal Bean would do. I let out the loudest cheer you could have ever heard and raced around before setting off in to the nearby tre-"
"Hey! I didn't give you permission to interrupt me! I don't want to hear about how unrealistic my reaction sounds. Its true, I cheered! Now if you would let me get back to my story, we may be able to reach the end!"
"Anyways, I raced in to the trees, practically exploding with happiness at the prospect of adventure. I had ran for what seemed like hours, never seeing anything besides a vast amount of trees and wildlife. I admit, and I don't say this often, that this adventure had seemed like it would lack in any form of excitement. It was pretty disappointing to someone who hoped for adventure, only to find the same thing over and over again. However, when I turned to head back, everything changed"
"Instead of the trees I expected, I found a beach! In fact, it was the very same beach! Now it may not sound too exciting, but when you've been running in the same direction with trees all around you, it was astounding. It seemed practically impossible, considering the amount of time I had been running. There was just no explanation as to why the same beach would still be right behind me when a vast amount of trees had surrounded my only moments ago. I never did figure out the secret though, as I did need to return home. I may not have anybody to take care of or waiting for me, but I did have a shack full of precious belongings to look over. So, despite my intense dislike of assistance in any form, I used the compass around my neck to figure out where to go. It took me a while, but I did make it home."
"I have never been able to find that island again"

Once again, Uncharted will be taking over another part of this form.
So, Uncharted, what do you usually do when you wake up in the mornings?
"In the mornings? Well, I get up for starters. I clean myself up and head out to look for berries. I like to find my own food. Sometimes its easy, which is a bumm-"
Wait, you don't like when its easy?
"Hey, I'm not finished! But yeah, I don't like when its easy. Where's the excitement in finding something easily? Where's the sense of accomplishment? I'll tell you : there is none. You learn NOTHING fro getting everything easy"
I see. I guess that makes a little sense. Anyways, continuing on, what about your hobbies?
"Easy. Exploring. Adventure. Swimming. The kind of things that actually give you a bit of excitement. I can't just sit around all day reading when there are things to discover!"
I-I see.Well, uh, what about any relationships? Do you have a certain somebody on your thoughts?
"Simple. Nobody. I don't know anybody and don't need to. I mean, sure most beans are really nice and all, but not a lot of them are up to exploring like I am. They can't handle the thrill. I can't bring a lot of people with me and I wouldn't want to barely see them, so I decided not to really get to know anybody. That way nobody feels left or or lonely"
That..is actually really sweet of you. Well, I don't have anymore questions so, I guess that wraps the interview up. Anything else you'd like to say?
"Yeah, I guess I have something to say. Don't ignore those opportunities kids. even if it isn't something as exciting as an action-packed adventure, don't let anything slip away from you."
