I really wanted to answer this question, and I thought I might as well make it a new topic. As others might enjoy it too. Describe yourself as if you were an ADOM character. Include race, sex, class, alignment and starting stastics. Embelish as to why you have chosen those things. If you wish also include how far you would make it in the game. I'd be a male human assassin, NL aligned. I'd be human because I'm quite comfortable with my experience so far as a human. I think I would miss the physical strength if I was an elf of some kind and dark elves are a bit macarbe in appearance. This goes for most of the other races too, their physical appearances are not really something that interests me. I'm quite vain. I'd be an assassin because such a prefession would allow me a level of personal freedom and anonomity. The profession would require personal fitness and highly competent skill in arms. It would be a field that would physical competency as well as flex ones nimble mind. The fighting would involve tatics and speed, not brute strength. It also allows my to honest and fair profession and not having to sacrafice my own personality to fit in to expected norms of behaviour. As an assassin one does not have to kill by habit or under order but can choose selectivly according to ones own goals and desires. I hear it pays really well, plus I would be able to dress in style. I would probably spend most of my life persuing a neutral balance, as I feel that is the way the world is meant to be. I have some tendancies to do more 'lawful' things when I am tied to certain people or places through affection though, and this may give me a slight slant in that direction. If given 99 attribute points (11 average) I would give them to myself as follows (what I am in real life is probably closer to the numbers in brackets): St : 9 (11) To : 8 (8) Dx : 16 (13) Le : 14 (15) Wi : 12 (13) Ch : 12 (7) Ap : 13 (16) Ma : 1 (0) Pe : 14 (16) I don't think I would get all that far in the game, certain the first few stages would be quite easy for me to acomplish, but once I get forther down the CoC I would find my advantages in thinking ability and superior speed quickly negated by the enviroment. There's nothing much to sneak about behind down there, the place is not a city and there's no way I could hide among the crowds. My ability to think quickly would be helpful to the point, but seeing as that quick thinking would probably result in me telling myself to 'get the hell out of there' it probably would be as useful as it may seem. Speed is handy when fighting people in surprise and/or fighting one or two people at a time; when being swarmed by hordes of enemies my speed would quickly be overcome. Looking good and being charming doesn't mean much to monsters, so they're useless too. My lack of magical ability will ruin me. Unless I see sense and retreat I will die. I might manage to sneak my way into the casino, but even that might be pushing it. I certainly wont get beyond that unless I pick up some amazing equipment, and even then I won't finish the game. |

I'd probably be a human wizard. Intelligent, with decent willpower. Average strenght, dexterity and appearence. Well, maybe appearance a bit more than average, I'm just that good looking :D Awful charisma probably, I'm a pretty big asshole, self-centered, generally unsocial and don't like people that much. Human, since it's the race closest to my personality, I think. Maybe I'd be an orc or a dwarf. Wizard, because I'm the intellectual type, good at everything I put my mind into and want to learn, like languages. Spellcasting would probably be just another language for me. If I lived in the world of ADOM, I'd probably not try to fix the problem with chaos. I'm pretty cynical and realistic, and I probably wouldn't be up to it, so why would I get myself killed trying to save the world? If something really bad ought to happen, and the forces of chaos would get stronger, I'd probably take the easy way out and join the forces of chaos. Either that or I'd blow myself up with a badly aimed improved fireball(aimed badly on purpose). Either way, I'd probably not fight to the last man against them. That's my personality, but on the other hand I'm pretty patriotic, so actually I might fight chaos. More likely though, I'd just settle down in some village and do some general pissing off people, wonder around being a smartass and a nitpick and blasting off persons I don't like with acid bolts. I'd make money by robbing thugs, goblins, kobolds, muggers and minor undead. I might start my own store or do some teaching. While fighting I'd be a real coward and run away as soon as I face someone even a bit close to my own strength. I'd certainly know teleport and have a stock of blink dog corpses somewhere :) Most of the time you would probably find me in the Green Griffon Inn, drunk with the grizzled gladiator, remembering how everything was a whole lot better in the good old days... Maybe occasionally I'd go cheer for someone in the arena, or go hiking over the mountains to get some time for myself. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

I'd be a female hurthling wizard, I think. Wizard because I'm pretty intelligent and much more into book-learning than physical activity. I considered gnome or grey elf, but settled on hurthling because not only am I physically small and wimpy but I get annoyed if I don't get regular meals. N+ alignment - my basic philosophy of life is "you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone" but I'm more likely to engage in gratuitous kindness than gratuitous cruelty. St: 5 (as I said, I'm tiny) Le: 20 (PhD graduate) Dx: 10 (not really into activities requiring Dx, unless bike riding counts) Wi: 16 (pretty stubborn and determined) To: 14 (generally healthy) Ch: 7 (loner, the quiet observer type) Ap: 10 (average, too lazy to bother with makeup and fashion) Ma: no idea at all what Ma would mean in the real world Pe: 9 (with my glasses - more like 4 without) I'd probably be a village wizard who made a living selling magical trinkets or herbs from her garden. Like J., I don't think I'd be likely to go adventuring under normal circumstances. A disaster which destroyed my village might do it, or I might go to rescue someone I valued who had gone to fight Chaos and never returned. I'd probably hire a few big tough barbarians to come along with me, though. |

Hmm. What would I be. I'd probably see myself as a gnomish theif. I say gnome because I'm small, and I can be pretty sneaky (hence the theif part, as well; that though also has something to do with my occasional tendancy to sneak various things, e.g. steal a bit more of the Halloween candy that I should have), plus i'm fairly intelligent. My friends though would more likely say I was a hurthling; they're trying to get the nickname "Frodo" to stick right now. They say it's because I'm "short and hairy". Moving on. I'd geuss at a C+ alignment, not so much because i'm evil, as because i'm just chaotic. I don't plan things. My idea of planning is "Ok, tomorrow, I'm giong to call around and see who's not doing anything, and go hang out and do something." Stats, hmm. ST: 9, I'm not all that strong but I'm not exactly weak either. LE: 13 or 14, I'm fairly smart, but not really a genious. DX: 15 or 16, I'm pretty quick. WI: 7, I'm a lazy bum. But I can get myself to do stuff when I need to. TO: 10, I dont' get sick much, but I do tend to get hurt a lot. CH: 8, I just don't really know how to talk to people a lot of the time... although once i get going, i can get people to listen for quite a while. AP: Hmm. I'd like to think it's high, but it's probably a 10. MA: Oh, maybe a 3 or 4... although I really have no idea... PE: 15, I'm pretty perceptive, esp of details. Makes me a pretty good driver... How far would I get in the game? Probably not far at all. I'd likely go down and hang out in the towns, pickpocketing people. Maybe I'd go to dwarftown, but only to steal some stuff and buy some drinks... I doubt I'd really do much. I might tell the village elder "Sure, I'll go get yer carpenter," then go in the cave, wander around, and leave again without doing anything really. Then I'd probably hit a fatal error and have my game erased. |

Well, time for me :) I would propably be a human or dark elven barbarian - I'm considered inteligent by my self and my teachers, and a genius by my friends (propably because I don't learn at home at all, and still get the best marks in class). My mood can swing from a sad looking, sleepy romantic to a raging barbarian (I rarely get angry, but if I do, it's a lvl 50 babrarian true berserker tactics). If in the right (or rather wrong) mood, I can be quite cruel (mentally and verbaly) to people I despise. So Dark Elven Barbarian would fit the best. I think NC or N- would be my anlignment, I do both good things, evil things and often stay neutral, so It would add up to that. St: 12 or even 13 (I can lift more than I weight regulary for one minute) Le: 16 Wi: 4 (I'm quite weakminded, it's easy to make me to stupid things, like burn my hand or drink 9 beers in 5 minutes) Dx: 23 (Yes, I'm that agile. Gymnastics is kinda my hobby, so is ballet.) To: 7 (I get tired quite easy, no maraton for me. Not even a 3 km run.) Ch: 4 (I hate people, and even more, I hate speaking to them) Ap: 13 (The girls in my class say so, so I have to believe them ;P ) Ma: 15 (I'm quite lucky) Pe: 10 (My one eye is near-sighted, the other is far-sighted. It's quite wierd, but balances out). Sp: 115 I'm fast. Too bad I can run just to about 300-400 meters, and then drop dead tired ;) Weapon Skills: basic Daggers skilled Swords Bows at a high level Same for crossbows Skills: Swimming Literacy Athletics Archery Climbing Alchemy Appraising A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

That has so many similar things to the post I lost... I'll write it up sometime later in notepad then paste it here. Taz: A potion of gain attributes (4s) is lying here.

Female: Duh. Dwarf: Well, for one, because I'm German--and comparing the two is a compliment to both Germans and dwarves. I love to work with my hands. I'm stubborn; and though it takes a lot to get me angry, I don't give up if I have to fight. (And I'm deeply hurt that the LOTR movie decided to use Gimli for comic relief. Well, okay, so maybe "deeply hurt" is a little much. More like "slightly annoyed". :P ) Class: Wizard. I could fight at a distance, which is good for me because it allows for strategy--something I'm good at. Handy access to Invisibility and Teleport spells would be great. And I love knowledge of all sorts; I'm curious about everything. As a physics major, I'm about as close to a wizard as you can get in a world without magic: I study the forces of the natural world and learn to apply them to make things happen. And I'm always reading books. St: 10. Average for a girl my age. Le: 18. This is what classifies me as a geek. Wi: 10. It all averages out. When it doesn't really matter in the long run--like when I'm supposed to get up for class--I have next to no willpower. But if it comes to helping someone else, or clashing with my mom's series of evil stepfathers, I'm about the most stubborn person you'll ever meet. Dx: 13. I've been told I'm rather graceful, and I like dancing. To: 18. I haven't had a cold in two years, and I get over any illness faster than average. Ch: 8. Below average, because I'm not normal :) Then again, with non-normal people, my charisma is more like 15... Ap: 11. A little above average, but nothing stunning. Make-up would help, but I'm not about to paint my face, thank you! Ma: 14. Magic fascinates me, and I'm very intuitive. However, I have to make my own luck. Pe: 6. Unfortunately. I have relatively bad eyesight and bad hearing; I was born with both. Thankfully I've learned to make do with what I have. Sp: 95 I'm not fast; I can't run too fast or far. But, on the flip side, I could keep waking all day and not slow down (and I've done so). Alignment: Welll... if you want the ADOM equivalent where "good" is equated with "law", then I'd be L. But if you used the AD&D alignment system, which I think is a better way of describing aligments, I'd be neutral good. Ever since I was little I've been described as "idealistic"; and even before I understood what it meant, I've always been on some quest or other. Lately I'm becoming more realistic about things; and some bad experiences about two years ago left with a decided mistrust of authority (thus "neutral" instead of "lawful"). But I've never stopped believing in absolute good. Weapon skills: Daggers, level 1 Thrown Rocks, level 3 Staves, level 5 Whips, level 8 Skills (yeah, I know this is too many): Alchemy Alertness Archery Backstabbing Climbing First Aid Gardening Healing Law Literacy Pick Locks Stealth Swimming Tactics If I were in ADOM, I might hang out in Terinyo for a while, probably working for someone to pay for food. But after a while, I wouldn't be able to just sit around and let Chaos take over. I'd much rather get killed fighting chaos than get turned into a chaos creature whenever Andy decides to take over. I value my personhood and free will too much to ever give them up lightly. I wouldn't try anything alone, though; if anything, I'd find myself another adventurer passing through Terinyo, and, if I were sure of their motivations, ask to join them: Strategy works best in groups; and though I'm a strategist, I'm not too much of a leader. I'd probably make stupid mistakes, though hopefully I wouldn't be quite so stupid as to fry my companions with fireballs. I know I'd be scared out of my wits most of the time; and I know I'd be scared enough to panic, at least the first time, if I had to deal with the undead. It's not my nature to give up, though; I suppose I'd get used to rotting corpses eventually. If I died, thanks to one of those stupid mistakes, I probably wouldn't know what hit me. And if I actually won against Chaos (a very small possibility) I probably wouldn't believe it had actually happened for quite a long time. I doubt I'd try fighting Andy; I don't take a lot of chances, and it would seem much safer to just close the gate than to stake everything on a battle I mightn't win. So if I ever got that far, I'd close the gate, then exit the Chain and go find myself a safer quest to pursue...

I always imagined Iridia would be much stronger... OT1; I found out I can talk people into doing things now... (no, not people I know well), it must be some good ideas. OT2; I would probably never get crowned,if I did it would be hard to choose between N and C. If I had to go from the real world I would seriously need a gun...I would try the puppy quest (I'm that much kamikaze) since I get free candy.. I would try to save khelly, so I could become a neutrality avatar or a UcG!!! (evil spark) More power, but less honor, hmmm, I'd probably die due to a balor. Yes=UG (Ultimate Chaos God) No=avatar(any)

I'm sorry to bring up an old thread but I liked this one and must have missed it when it was active. I'd probably be a human Wizard because I like being human and wizard because I consider myself as quite wise. I would probably be a sword specialist or I would use staves and I would blast everything that comes in my way because that's just the way I am, but I don't think I would try to defeat the forces of chaos I'd only kill the beasts if they got too close to mee, but if I would go uot to destroy the chaos I would probably try to become the new UlTiMaTe ChAoS GoD and then I would terrorize the world as much as possible. My alignment would probably be C not C- because I dont' consider myself quite that chaotic or evil. my stats would probably be: St: 13 (Not very strong but not weak either) Le: 16 (I learn stuff pretty easily) Wi: 20 (extremely self-confident and determined) Dx: 20 (My movements are very smooth and my reflexes are quite sharp) To: 16 (I have a really high pain tolerance) Ch: 7 (I generally don't like people) Ap: 10 (Not ugly but not a real beaty either Ma: (I have no idea but I would like it to be high) Pe: 12 (My senses are sharp) "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |

I must have missed this as well. I would be a human thief. I have no idea what my stats would be. My alignment would be N+. The only weapon skill I would possess would be unarmed combat, but I'd have a knife in my starting pack, along with several hundred pizza rations. |
