WHICH SF/FANTASY CHARACTER ARE YOU?
I took the quiz at http://www.tk421.net/character/. Interestingly, I'm "John Sheridan." *Now* I know why I felt so comfortable writing the character.

Palpatine
A mastermind of maneuvering surrounding forces, you care little for the concerns of those in your way.
Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.
I always wanted to be a DARK JEDI (SITH LORD)

Gandalf...interesting, I must admit I didn't see it coming.
Wesley Crusher. I think I'm going to be ill now. Think that's a sign that I need to make some changes? :-)
Yoda.
Interestingly enough, I trimmed my ear hair this morning (for the first time in my life).
I'm Yoda! "A venerated sage with vast power and knowledge, you gently guide forces around you while serving as a champion of the light."
And I didn't see it coming, either, especially since my duties as a newspaper editor preclude my swapping around the orders of sentences. :)
Wesley Crusher. I'm simultaneously honored and insulted.
I did this earlier this week. I ended up as Gandalf, which still surprises me. My 9-year-old daughter ended up as Deleen, which fits her very well.
(Hmm, PAD is Sheridan, and my daughter Deleen, this just has bad things written all over it....)
Jean-Luc Picard. A little surprised, but I guess it does make sense to me. I do, however, have more hair.
Well I am Yoda and Ariel is Leia. Caroline is Gollum based on her ID personality as a baby.

Since I’ve never seen a full episode of Babylon5, I’m not really qualified to comment on this. So what does this mean? Good? Bad?
Sean Jackson (who turned out to be Anakin Skywalker): Hmm... do I fear the future, or embrace it?
Luigi Novi: Who cares. Either way, your acting sucks.
Kathleen: Well I am Yoda and Ariel is Leia. Caroline is Gollum based on her ID personality as a baby.
Luigi Novi: Well, everyone sees their own baby as “precious.” :-)
I guess I'm G'kar. That's cool...but isn't this a pic of Captain Na'Kal? Y'know, NOT G'kar?
I ended up as Princess Leia, who wants to spread peace all around her.
Ugh.

Oh, God. I feel so depressed. Wesley Crusher. I... I can't write anymore. Must go do some serious soul searching, make massive changes to life. NOW!
Great and powerful Jedi (and rhymer), Yoda am I.
Hey, not bad! I came out as Jean-Luc Picard!
Make it so!

Hmm,... I did get a toe cut off when I was ten... by a LAWNMOWER!!! EGAH!
Well. I wasn't expecting that.
But I DO engage in the Picard maneuver....
I got Deleen, which makes me somewhat happy and concerned...Does this mean I have to try to date Peter now? :)
/stares at his autographed Mia Furlan pic wistfully
Elrond. Which makes sense, since I am wise and all-knowing.
Galadriel
"Possessing a rare combination of wisdom and humility, while serenely dominating your environment you selflessly use your powers to care for
others."
I'm very happy with this. :D

Rats. I was hoping for Kirk or Spock and got Sheridan instead. Who knew?
Let me be the first to say that I am... Obi Wan Kenobi!
I can live with that, especially since they used a pic of Ewan MacGregor instead of Alec Guiness.
I'd post the pic, but I honestly dont have a clue as toi how.
"With the prowess of a seasoned samurai and the wisdom of a wizard, you try to do the sort of things that root out evil."
I'm Qui-Gon Jinn. Which isn't bad. He was a cool Jedi. Until he died. Oh, and Luigi, Marcus is perhaps THE coolest character from Babylon 5. I'd want to be him...
NOOOOOOOOO! I'm Wesley Crusher. The most hated Next Generation character, ever. God I hope I'm not that whiny.
I got Kosh, but would've thought I'd've gotten Spock.
I got Elrond...which is kind of fitting.
Although I think most would describe me more of an Agent Smith... ;)
I, too, came up with Sheridan, which may explain why I so often agree with PAD's opinions. :)
Now, if only I'd ever seen an episode of B5... I gave up after the pilot. Time to take a look again, I think...
I got Galadriel. Which suits me just fine.
I think that Sheridan suits you well, PAD. Hey, maybe it's a hint that you need to write another B5 novel!
I got Aragorn. I always wanted to be king. heh. Actually, didn't see it coming.

I took the test and scored as Picard, which is cool ... then i took the test and answered the exact opposite of what i felt and discovered that my arch-nemesis is Boba Fett, which is even cooler !!
I ended up being Samwise Gamgee. I think that's rather fitting actually. It helps that he's one of my favorite characters from Lord of the Rings. I always seem to prefer the loyal sidekicks to the heroes and villains.
I don't know how to feel about 'who' I am. Harry Potter, I do have a scar on my hand from the Forth of July '89. Maybe I should go and try to talk to a rattlesnake, anyone have anti-venom handy.

I wonder if I'm the only guy that got Galadriel...
I wound up with Aragorn.
(But I look more like Yoda...)
No, I'm a guy who ended up as Galadriel as well.
My girlfriend ended up as Luke Skywalker. Then she asked to go back and change her answer on one question she had to flip a coin to answer. She ended up as Princess Leia...
Which means no matter how you shape it, my girlfriend is Padme's child. :)
It's Spock for me.
Makes sense, even if I have smaller ears and a bigger nose.

Aragorn... not sure how I feel about that. Oh, well. Aragorn wants to give everyone a big hug! Maybe there should have been more questions? (duck-grin)
I ended up as Jean-Luc Picard. I find this amusing since it was my impression of Patrick Stewart's voice that first made my wife interested in me.
My initial one came out as Picard (which doesn't surprise me, as I had the very quote they use in my .sig for a while). When I went back and tweaked a couple of questions I was on the fence about, I either remained Picard or became Wesley.
I can deal. Wes had his moments later on, and Wil Wheaton's a neat guy.
And if I wind up bald later in life, I can only hope I pull it off as stylishly as old J-L.

I turned out to be Gandalf. I didn't expect that - but I can't complain.
Just glad I didn't end up as Wesley Crusher. Woooo - really dodged a bullet there. (Sorry to all those who got hit, and fately wounded by that bullet)
Put one more down for Marcus Cole!
All you Wesley Crushers out there--for shame! Heheheheheh.
Well, here's one more guy who ended up as Galadriel. I'm sure that's a good thing but I would have gotten a bigger kick out of being Zontar, The Thing From Venus or even one of the flying Brain thingies from FIEND WITHOUT A FACE.
But at least I wasn't Wesley Crusher. Boy, would THAT suck.
Kinda suprised, Aragorn. Was expecting a Spock or Yoda.
well, i appear to be the only Watto here (or at least the only one foolish enough to admit it)
mind tricks don't work on me. only money.
I took the test twice, and I came up Spock both times.
Ah well. While I do get emotional, I can also stick to my logic with amazing tenacity. Now I just need that neck pinch...
Came out as Picard. Kinda saw it coming as I took the quiz, but am please with the result. TNG is good stuff.
Thanks for making me feel so much better about myself, fellas.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the reference is the character himself, not the public perception of the character.
That being the case, Wesley Crusher was a highly intelligent youth; inventive, inquisitive, and had a penchant for seeking wisdom. Ultimately, he overcame his physical and social inferiority and was handed the keys to the universe.
That's not so bad.
For the record, I've discovered a couple of things:
A willingness to sacrifice your own well-being for the good of the world is the only thing that keeps Legolas from being "Bones" McCoy.
Belief in the afterlife is the one difference between the Princess Bride's Prince Humperdinck and Harry Potter's Lord Voldemort, who is one dead best friend away from Anakin Skywalker.
I, Wesley Crusher, would best be suited to star in a buddy cop film with my exact opposite, Han Solo.
lol! I am glad to say I am the first one here to say he is Raistlin from Dragonlance!
"An intensely private individual that chooses actions with care, you strive to further your own skills and powers.
This happens because I choose it to happen!"
Since he is one of my favorite characters, I like it, but I am not really sure it is a compliment and even less sure I ressemble him mentaly (physically, I am very skinny , so that might fit lol)
I can't believe it. I'm Jean-Luc Picard.
(Tugs at his shirt)
Engage!
This is weird - not least since I actually look somewhat like him...
Gifted and studious, you willingly approach the perils ahead with the help of your talents and friends.
I don't go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me.M
Posted by Kathleen David:
Caroline is Gollum based on her ID personality as a baby.
Inspired by this, my wife and I took the quiz, answering as we thought appropriate for our baby girl. And what do we discover?
OK, so Boromir might not exactly the character one aspires to be, but then again, that's not so bad for a 16-month-old. ;)
Well, dammit all to heck, my wife just took the test and came back as MAGNETO. What the hell kind of world is it where a man finds out that the sci fi character he most resembles is Galadriel and his wife, the gentlest of creatures, get to be Mag-frikkin-neto?
Ok, now I have to go, oh, I don't know, ride around in a stinking swan boat or something, while the wife fulfills her malefic destiny. Jesus, what a gyp.
I am Spock. Unlike Leonard Nimoy, however, I am not also Scotty.
Oh man! I’m Sir Apropos …. How fitting.

Ok, so that wasn’t one of the possible outcomes, but he is fitting for me. :^)
I got Kirk, which in a way I was sort of expecting (don't know why...). Of course, they didn't ask "how many beautiful alien chicks have you scored with lately?". That would immediately have ruled me out for Kirk-dom.
The first time I took the test I said I would rig the next election to make things better and came out as Obi-Wan.
But before 2000 I would have chosen not to do this, so I took the test again changing only that one answer and came out as Gandalf.
Cool!
I am a 500 Internal Server Error.
Is this the equivalent of Charlie Brown getting a rock in his Halloween pillowcase?
My wife ended up as Professor Snape.
I wonder which book they based their Snape rating on?
If it's five, then she shouldn't be insulted at least
I got Samwise Gamgee too, which is about right for me, personality wise. My wife laughed at me though, so I guess she was hoping for someone a little sexier.
Well i got Ivonava, fitting i guess well apart from the small business of me being male. Well the girlfriend does say i have the mood swings of a woman so meh :)
I ended up as Anakin Skywalker. A little weird, since my nickname comes from Obi-Wan.
Princess Leia...chuckling because I tell my man (who by the way game up with YODA) all the time I'm gonna surprise him some night by swinging in the bedroom on a rope dressed in a "Princess Leia" ala Jabba-Slave-Barge outfit.
I don't even mind him being Yoda...bet he knows alotta cool tricks...
Yoda, the test has said I am. Leia, the mind of my woman true has been said to be. Gandalf, as ancient tales tell; me, I wanted to be. Alas- better to deal with a dark force in weightless bedroom, than lovemaking in haystacks with burlap underclothing, surrogate staff of magic in hand.
Yoda I am. Apparently nobody told my momma "don't let your children grow up to be Jedi's".
Well, it looks like I'm the only Worf on the blog so far... and my girlfriend came out as Ivanova, which is appropriate in so many ways.
I am Lord Voldemort (Harry Potter) - i have seen the first movie but as i did not recognise the character, he must have been in the second one.
Do i want to know ................. Is this a good thing ????
I am Severus Snape
Apparently, I'm much darker than I realize...
I am Worf. Well, that's not bad, i just wish i wasn't so damn ugly... and also, being a Klingon isn't exactly easy. Well, at least i'm a somber tactician who keeps emotional flares in check, and bravely refuse to back down when fighting for matters of honor. Oh yeah, that's right!
Hmm. Elf-Queen Galadriel, for me.
(And I could have sworn I destroyed all those pictures.....)
Qui-Gon Jinn for me.
*scans other posts* Women the most gentle of creatures? Yeah, Right.
And I, for one (ok, two) wouldn't have minded Wesley Crusher..
Alan.
Put me down as another mark in the Wesley column. (I'm not surprised we're seeing a lot of him here; he seems to be assigned to an introverted, intellectual thrust in the answers, and that's a type that tends to be well-represented in fandom. And thus, presumably, readers of this page.)
Where did I go wrong? I'm stuck as the biggest weenie of all time; Jean-Luc Retard!

Please tell me you're being facetious and I'm not getting it.
Otherwise, are YOU on the wrong board. (statement not a question.
**Please tell me you're being facetious and I'm not getting it.

My statement may have been crass, but it was heartfelt. I can't stand that whiny, pinky-lifing effete.
Oh, and sorry, I didn't realize the board existed only for people who liked everything you do. Thanks for the tip.
umm, ok then. I wasn't trying to stop your opinion, I was just expressing mine. As Eric Idle said to John Cleese in "Life of Brian",
"Don't you repress me!"
And yes you're right this board doesn't exist just for those who like everything I do. I suppose it even exists for those who have no sense of humor. Isn't it cool the way that works.
Oooooh Jerry, Jerry, Jerry... why not just go sit in a stadium during a series game, and wait with glove-on-hand to piss off the fans THERE! I guess to each his own. (He's pissed he wasn't a female Ferengi.)
