Realisticaly: who would you be?

[thejackyl]

The (ineffective) comic relief.

I would say I'd make a good Silent Hill protagonist, with the exception of not having a dark past or connections to some crazy death cult.

I would make a good protagonist for a survival horror game though.

Easily Scared?... Check
Physically Weak?... Check
Would rather run than fight?... Check
Decent thinking skills?... Check
BASIC firearm knowledge?... Check (I basically know which end to point and what makes it go boom... that's about it)

 

[Musette]

As a musician, I guess I'd be a bard. Probably wouldn't last long in a fight unless I develop the ability to deafen creatures using loud cymbal crashes or something.

 

[imperialwar]

Id probably be one those random guard NPCs that never leave the training court yard, hacking at a training dummy.
You know the ones.

 

[ChucklesMD]

I'd probably be fluff - perhaps not strictly background, though. I'd be there to make the scene more lively. If the protagonist saw fit to talk to me then I'd probably spout a bit of obscure inconsequential lore.

Probably one of those characters that the player would talk to 'just because he's there.'

"What do you mean you didn't talk to the IT on the sixth floor? He's in the middle of the hallway - he even has a name! The developers wanted you to talk to him! Yeah - no, he doesn't advance the plot.

Ugh. Shut up Brian."

 

[Bagged Milk]

I'd be the lesser known equivalent of the Companion Cube. I'm only there for a short time, people just use me for help, and they ditch me when they're done, but everyone seems to love me for some reason.

 

[SilverBullets000]

I'd be one of the brown minions from Overlord. Probably one that stood in the wheat feild too long and got burned to death because Big O himself set it on fire just for the hell of it.

That, or that Goron that rolled down the mountain in Ocarina of Time.

 

[Infernai]

I'd do the smart thing and become a merchant (By which i meant, follow the hero around and scoop up any weapons and any other items at all i find from slain foes, and go around the land selling items). I would also have a policy of being able to sell/buy all manner of objects, kinda like a wandering Medieval Pawn Shop.

Adjustments may occur depending on setting.

 

[arnoldthebird]

You know the guy who breaks up intimate moments?
yeah, that's me

 

[Jimbo Slice]

I tend to know more than I'm letting on (and overwhelm anyone who inquires with endless babble and metaphors), quickly jump from one topic to another, and avoid stating my motives unless withholding them proves to be... problematic.
I'd probably be the one patching up the crew, creating new gear, and providing necessary tactical information. Definitely a support unit. Always searching for better solutions.
A fan long range combat, stealth, recon and manipulation. But, well placed explosions are a guilty pleasure of mine.

I'd be that scientist or mage that's always wandering around... doing what he pleases... intruding, exploring, running experiments, messing with people, touching everything.

Like a... Salarian Dr. House.

 

[Aerosteam]

An expendable soldier who gets killed off at a random fight scene. That goes for any other expendable soldier guy who has no chance of living by the end of the movie/game.

SOLVEmedia: be my friend

Pfft no.

Well... okay.

 

[Nieroshai]

Most likely, I'd be Harry Mason from Silent Hill.

So... Harry Mason or Luigi?

OT: Me, I'd join up with the Big Bad sometime during his rise to power. I'm not very fit so I'd probably be a manipulative bastard, probably a Starscream attempting a Klingon promotion on the Big Bad, though I probably wouldn't succeed. I'd be the man behind the man or the Dragon at best, a mid tier boss at worst. Oh, and I love cats, so I'd probably be stroking one when the hero shows up.

...Damn... I spend WAY too much time on TVtropes.

 

[Strazdas]

The fat guy who couldnt run away from the zombies.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I'd probably be one of those who turns out to be evil or a traitor..

 

[Rikomag132]

I'd probably be one of the lowly peasants in Skyrim, while not attacking huge dragons that would obviously kick my ass.

 

[Sonicron]

I'd be the helpful kind of NPC; if you were to meet me in an RPG/MMORPG I'd probably be some kind of skill teacher, most likely for the Persuasion or Mining categories.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Probably one of the NPCs who sits around in the tutorial area providing hints about the menus and later in the game, if they bother to check back (and most wouldn't), some advanced combat hints.

Spoiler: Captcha:

Describe the Discovery Channel. Description: AMERIKANEN AM TELEFONMAST!!!!

 

[Cazza]

A random citizen who it's glued to the spot and asks the hero to find a lost treasured possession.

If I'm lucky I wouldn't to rooted to the ground and will get to walk around like NPC's in fallout 3.

 

[Dandark]

Well........

Spoiler: Who I think I would be
