From the altfriday5:

1. Which fictional characters do you resemble physically?

One of the random Large Men of the Rohirrim in Return of the King. I just need more practice sword/ake/pike wielding - while on a horse. And growing out a big red beard would help the image too.

2. Which fictional characters do you resemble, personality-wise? Why?

I'm guessing the classic nerds of fiction like the Sneakers and Dr Noonian Soong (note the lj name), but I'm not sure if that's accurate or just stereotyping.

3. Which fictional characters would you like to resemble physically?

Anyone in better shape with stunning physique will do. Uh, Chuck Norris? Then I can bust out in my gaijin-fu.

4. Which fictional characters would you like to resemble, personality-wise? Why?

In thinking about this I kept mixing up "personality" with "mental abilities of" and wanting to pick the smartest one I could think of. If I were to pick someone the 'why' would be because I want to have more of some personality trait the character is well known for. Sometimes I've wanted G'Kar's fortitude and strength of will.

5. If there were a fictional character based on you, how would they be drawn or described? What would their role be in the work of fiction -- hero? sidekick? deus ex machina? What special characteristics would they have?

I prefer "assistant hero" to "sidekick". I'm imagining a drawing sorta like the Hunter S Thomson character in Doonesbury, only a little rounder and more like me. I'd be the guy back in the van, hacking the security, providing the intel, making the gadgets, and so on. I would however get my own fight scene when one of the goons (just one) found the van. While not as strong or as graceful as the lead hero who'd be in the middle of stealthing around and subduing enemies with a single blow, I would eventually have just enough half-forgotten karate skill to eek out a clumsy survival victory, finally clubbing the goon in the head with a piece of tech.

Alternately, I'd be the President of the United States.

Oh, Office Space was a comic book, right? I could totally be in that.
