    Lester Freamon from The Wire was my number 1 (only @77 though which was my highest match - I'm clearly too bloody unique) which happy about, as he's a bloody legend.

    Other high matches for me:

    Chandler Bing (Friends) @74
    Pam Beesly (The Office) @72
    Varys (Game of Thrones) @70
    Remus Lupin (Harry Potter) @70
    Hoban Washburn (Firefly) @70

    All of whom I'm familiar with and agree I have similiar personality traits to all of them.

    Varys was one of the few consistently great minds in Game of Thrones, and was almost always three steps ahead of everyone else. The TV show done him dirty with the ending he got, but remains one of my two absolute favourite Game of Thrones characters, Sansa Stark being the other.

    Sansa? Christ. I had to restrain myself from just skipping her chapters in the books. Least favourite character for me.

    Sansa is awful in the beginning, but has the best overall character arc and easily the most interesting chapters in A Feast For Crows.

    Can't stand Dany myself, struggled through every single one of her chapters. And the way people fawn over her, makes me want to throw up.

    I got Eric from that 70's show and Leonard from The Big Bang Theory.

    I've never watched Westworld, someone tell me Elsie Hughes is a fecking badass please :p

    92%!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,330 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    Yeah Sanaa was awful in the beginning, but the TV show had her turn out great so I wouldn't be upset if the final books did something similar.

    But that would be mostly because it means we finally got the last books.

    Haven't watched all of it, but she was definitely one of the more likeable characters to me anyway.

    She's bad ass for a techie I suppose...

    My highest Trek was Garak followed by Nog in the high 60's percentage wise... and O'Brien about 61% I think. Should've taken a screengrab of it (oh well). DS9 is my favourite Trek series and those are 3 of my favourite characters, so pretty happy with that. :D

    Ok you've twisted my arm, the repeat ST game can be DS9 themed! I was just about to start another attempt to watch Enterprise but I could be coerced into rewatching DS9 instead.

    Considering its not only my favourite Trek, but my favourite show ever, I could probably be coerced into such a game of Werewolf. ;)

    Noticed that there is a more in-depth version of the quiz with 121 questions, if you change the settings on the drop-down menu on the landing page. Still got Lester Freamon and some of the others are also still quite high up, but probably a much more accurate list overall...

    I got Eric from that 70's show and Leonard from The Big Bang Theory.

    We're quite alike then, they're in my top three results. :cool: I'm fairly happy with Eric Forman tbh, he's witty, intelligent and handsome, if slightly (very) awkward!

    Not sure about my #1, I didn't like The Great Gatsby (the book I mean, I never saw any of the film versions) but I guess he's the one of the less loathsome characters in it.

    As for the rest, I know nothing about Bruce Banner other than that he's the Hulk - what he has in common with Milhouse is beyond me. :confused:
