Probably The Lancer, but more accurately The Starscream. I always want to be in charge but I'm better at criticising and fixing others' decisions than I am at making decisions myself. For example: I'm better at editing than writing, and when roleplaying for stuff like D&D, I'm better at building a campaign from an existing world than at making my own.

However, due to my forceful personality, if everyone else in my group of whatever-it-is-we're-doing is meek, I'll take charge. I need a very dominant Hero to keep me in check.

That sounded way dirtier than I intended so I'm just rollin' with it. If You Know What I Mean.

The Chick. An angry chick. Sure I'd be your lovely peacekeeping heal bitch, but I would also be a grumpy asshole who complains. And cries.

A mixture of The Medic and The Lancer with a bit of The Chick and The Smart Guy thrown in for a well rounded character.

The Smart Guy.

Though, in this case, The Smart Girl.

I often find myself boucing back and forth between The Smart Guy, Sixth Ranger and Token Evil Teammate.

I tend to play Sixth Ranger most of the time though, as I usually start out as an Ineffectual Loner before getting any actual friends.

A combination of the Smart Guy and the Sixth Ranger.

@Rotty: You're clearly The Smart Guy.

I'd be a Lancer. I think I'm a Lnacer. Although my band is a Power Trio...and I'm all three characters...and them too.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

Let's see. I've got two bands. One is the typical ensemble (The Hero, The Lancer, The Big Guy, The Smart Guy, The Chick) with me as the Lancer, the other is a four man band (The Hero, The Lancer, The Big Guy, Tagalong Kid) where I'm also the Lancer, and I work double duty as The Smart Guy.

Either The Lancer of The Big Guy all depending on the other members.

I think this is glaringly obvious but The Chick. I like to think I am fairly well-rounded in terms of character.

The Lancer. I don't want the responsibility of being at the very top, but I'm good at being second in command. I can wield authority if it's been delegated to me. I also operate better as a sounding board/critic for the ideas of others than as the one who makes up the plans. I'm liable to simultaneously be the Token Evil Teammate. Could also be an Ineffectual Loner-turned-Sixth Ranger.

Cool Old Guy. Or Deadpan Snarker. I'd also be a good Erudite Stoner if one replaced booze with drugs...dammit, that trope needs a rename, people can be erudite drunks!

But that only applies to fighting. I am much more likely to dispense rambling wisdom when I've been drinking than I am to crack a can of whoop-ass.

The Smart Guy and Team Pet. Most certainly not The Hero, but would gladly follow one. Not The Chick also, as this one has very little patience and peacekeeping skills. May become The Lancer in some circumstances

If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in common
