who are you? i really wanna know.
This is always fun. Head over to TK421.net, and find out which Sci-Fi or Fantasy character you are.
Apparently, I am John Sheridan.
An experienced survivor who has maneuvered around many obstacles, you are looked up to by those who rely on your good judgment.
In the last few years, we've stumbled. We stumbled at the death of the president, the war, and on and on. When you stumble a lot you tend to look at your feet. Now we have to make people lift their eyes back to the horizon and see the line of ancestors behind us saying, "Make my life have meaning," and to our inheritors before us saying, "create the world we will live in."
I know it's a silly online survey, but I was surprised at how much I identified with those words, and I was very grateful that I wasn't Wesley Crusher (not that there's anything wrong with that.) So if you've got a few minutes to waste, head on over and tell us who you are.
(Thanks, Ocean!)

Comments
w00t! Picard!
"An accomplished diplomat who can virtually do no wrong, you sometimes know it is best to rely on the council of others while holding the reins.
There are some words which I have known since I was a schoolboy. "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." These words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie -- as a wisdom, and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged."

I ended up with Aragorn:
"Putting your appointed path ahead of any inner conflicts, you make your own rules for the benefit of all.
"If my life or death I can protect you, I will."
Hmmm....

Samwise Gamgee. Considering he is one of the strongest characters in LOTR, I take that as a compliment.

Galadriel
Possessing a rare combination of wisdom and humility, while serenely dominating your environment you selflessly use your powers to care for others.
Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
Galadriel is a character in the Middle-Earth universe. You can read more about her at the Galadriel Worshippers Army.
Galadriel Worshippers Army?!?! Heck ya! Wonder if I can get them to do my laundry...

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.
Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not - for my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life greets it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us. Luminescent beings are we, not this crude matter! You must feel the Force around you, everywhere.
Posted by: Sea-bright messenger | October 20, 2005 4:55 PM
I'm Obi-Wan:
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.
The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.
I love taking these kind of quizzes, maybe more than I should!

I had a weird dream last night, you and the zombies were in it. I don't remember what it was about. I just remember seeing your face and these ugly looking zombies. When I woke up, I thought it was weird that you were in my dream, then I realized it came from reading your site! Zombies! Blah! hope my grammar's ok as its not my first language.

KIRK!
An impassioned commander with more respect for individuals than for authority, you have a no-holds-barred approach to life and its obstacles.
I don't believe in the no-win scenario.
Most surveys of this sort don't have this many options. I was sure I was going to get Data if he's in there, but WFS works too.
Posted by: Michael Doss | October 20, 2005 5:51 PM
I also got Picard, which is worth mentioning in my own blog. Thanks for the link, Wil!
Posted by: Josh Glover | October 20, 2005 5:55 PM
Picard for me too. I guess I always did identify with the sensibilities of the character, so I wasn't too surprised. The quote given on TK421 was absolutely perfect. Thanks for the few minutes of fun!

Wesley Crusher

Hmmm... I answered the questions truthfully, but I really don't think I'm like Wesley. Oh well, nothing's perfect, I would suppose.

Hey Will
I did the survey and was told I am like Kosh
I rethought one of my answers and when I changed it was now rated as Wesley Crusher.
So the only difference between you and Kosh, is that you would prefer a guilty person to go free vs an innocent being convicted.
That was fun
