off-topic, & totally just for fun, but here's a totally meaningless personality test for the world perhaps, but neat for us RPG/D&D fans . . . it's a "what kinda D&D character are you?" (mine, borderline N/L + G, pally 1st choice or ftr, then bard; as to race, human or elf - hmmm, you don't say? tee hee.... (a neutral good elven pally-ftr-bard? neat idea - then, Rogues are just as fun and so totally RP'able, too, maybe even more so- LOL)
OK, just for fun, I toss this quiz out, if you haven't seen it (for anyone interested of course); totally all in how you RP it (thanks again, Av; love how you, Dark, Dragon & others see it, and yeah, as I'd play 'em, he'll guard ya while you sleep, use stealth to accompany (thus protect) the party rogue, rescue puppies, and even help li'l old lady wiz/socercess' cross the town street on his way to chug a pint or two at the local pub (just don't try and sneak his wallet (he's supposed to be a cop-type afterall)- LOL.

I Am A: Chaotic Evil Elf Mage Druid
Alignment: Chaotic Evil characters are the most 'evil' people out there. They are willing to do anything to get ahead, and will kill anyone who stands in their way. A chaotic evil person sees no value in order and governments, and believes to the utmost in the tenant that 'Might Makes Right'.
Race: Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.
Primary Class: Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.
Secondary Class: Druids are a special variety of Cleric who serves the Earth, and can call upon the power in the earth to accomplish their goals. They tend to be somewhat fanatical about defending natural settings.
Deity: Velsharoon is the Neutral Evil god of necromancy, liches, and undeath. He is also known as the Vaunted, the Archmage of Necromancy, and the Lord of the Forgotten Crypt. His followers practice the necromantic arts, and raise the dead to do their bidding. His symbol is a crowned skull.

Hm, last time I was a Chaotic Evil Half-Orc Mage Thief. I guess this one's better _________________ "We keep our Feast of Feasts, sure of our bourne, Our aims self-same: The Guest of Guests, friend Zarathustra, came! The world now laughs, the grisly veil was torn, And Light and Dark were one that wedding-morn."
Beleive it or not, i came up as a Neutral Good Thief Paladin!! This will only make sense to the peeps coming from tyrtemps post! See Dark, paladin rogues Exist!! muhahahaha
Alignment: Lawful Neutral characters believe in the triumph of law and order above all else. It does not matter whether the leader is for good or evil; the leader will be followed, because the order they provide is the most important thing.
Race: Halflings are short and fat, like minuature people. (Think 'Hobbits') They enjoy the easy life, but aren't averse to the idea of an adventure from time to time. They get along with all races, and are known for their senses of humor. Halflings also tend to be light of foot, and can move quietly when necessary.
Primary Class: Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
Secondary Class: Monks are strange and generally not understood by the world at large. They live apart from people, and follow strict codes that restrain their behavior and lifestyle. They have an exceptionally calm outlook on life, and generally do not resort to violence unless absolutely necessary. Even when they do, their code of conduct forbids the use of all weapons - except their hands. As such, monks are extremely skilled at hand-to-hand combat, and no other style.
Deity: Urogalan is the Lawful Neutral halfling god of death and earth. He is also known as He Who Must Be and the Lord in the Earth. His followers guard the dead and protect halflings from those that don't stay buried. Their preferred weapon is the flail. Urogalan's symbol is a silhouette of a dog's head.

Neutral Evil Human Fighter Thief Follower Of Cyric
Alignment: Neutral Evil characters believe in Number One. Their personal gain takes precedance over all else, and they will work with whomever necessary and whatever institutions necessary to further their own goals.
Race: Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.
Primary Class: Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.
Secondary Class: Thieves are the most roguish of the classes. They are sneaky and nimble-fingered, and have skills with traps and locks. While not all use these skills for burglary, that is a common occupation of this class.
Deity: Cyric is the Neutral Evil god of death, murder, the dead, strife, tyranny, deception, and illusion. His followers are working to secure his position as a new god, and are in conflict with many worshippers of other deities. They wear black or dark purple robes, with silver trimming, and wear silver bracelets. Cyric's symbol is a skull set in a purple starburst. _________________ This signature will self-destruct in 5 seconds...
Well, why not?

(Apparently, in the detailed results, Monk and Mage tied up in Secondary class, but they gave me mage)
Deity: Iyachtu Xvim is the Lawful Evil god of fear, hatred, malice, and tyranny. He is also known as the Godson and the Son of Bane. He appears as a gaunt, naked, scimitar-wielding man, or as a black cloud with glowing green eyes. His followers are working to strengthen his position in the world by converting (often by force) other deities' worshippers. They wear black robes with dark green trim, and wear black iron gauntlets with green eyes on the backs. Iyachtu Xvim's symbol is a black hand, inset with green eyes.

True Neutral Half-Orc Mage Fighter Follower Of Azuth
Alignment: True Neutral characters are very rare. They believe that balance is the most important thing, and will not side with any other force. They will do whatever is necessary to preserve that balance, even if it means switching allegiances suddenly.
Race: Half-Orcs are a cross between a human and an orc. Generally, this kind of mating does not occur willingly, so half-orcs are almost never raised by a full set of parents. They tend to be less intelligent and attractive than humans, but are generally stronger and hardier. Violence is a part of their nature, and few half-orcs manage to overcome this to follow other professions. They are generally treated with disdain by other races, if not outright hostility.

In Kail's survey I also was a Dragon, with an affinity towards Crab. Again a magic user with leanings towards fighting(violence). Guess that kinda backs up my Half-Orc Wizard/Fighter from the first survey. _________________ If everyone is thinking alike, then someone is failing to think.
I was a Shadowlander with a little Mantis in me. _________________ "We keep our Feast of Feasts, sure of our bourne, Our aims self-same: The Guest of Guests, friend Zarathustra, came! The world now laughs, the grisly veil was torn, And Light and Dark were one that wedding-morn."

You are a:
Unicorn, the Unicorn have returned relatively recently to Rokugan. They're influenced by gaijin ethics and gaijin equipment.
You also have an affinity for the:

On Tyr's test I ended up as a chaotic neutral human fighter/ranger, follower of Tempus. Actually, Chaotic Neutral is pretty much bang on for my personality.
On Kail's test I was a Scorpion with a Shadowlands affinity. Most of the questions were about combat though, and I never fight fair. _________________ Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do.

You know, I always thought I was basically a good guy, but the evidence from these tests does not bear this out. The results of Kail's test:

You also have an affinity for the :
Shadowlands
Description: The Shadowlands, led by Diagotsu, are the anthesis of everything the Empire stands for. They're evil, cruel, and vicious, and they like it that way.
Be afraid. Be very afraid... _________________ This signature will self-destruct in 5 seconds...
