About Me

My quest for the Tower has brought me across many lands and I have seen many worlds with these ancient eyes. Although I am nearing the end, in many ways it feels like the beginning. My Ka-mates and I are at a way station of sorts, sharing precious khef, cleaning our guns, and preparing to palaver. For these are mine, sure as I am theirs. We are round and roll as we do. Much travelling has been done, but there is so much further to go still...I look forward to the day when I will round upon the dusky grey edifice of the Tower bearing the guns of my fathers. I will cry their names. I will cry all of their names...

The Dark Tower Character Test
You are Roland! As the last Gunslinger, you have a courageous and steadfast nature, and are unswerving in your actions. Because you act calmly in the face of danger, people like to to have you as an ally. However, you can be cold when it comes to human contact, and have betrayed your friends in the past for your own needs, and need to learn how to love others, or you will become just as heartless as the forces you are trying to fight! Try lightening up a bit.

What Type of Killer Are You? [cool pictures]
You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect. You are not really the stereotypical hero, but you do fight for good. Just in your own way. For you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil person, if it is for justice and peace. You also don't belive in mourning all the time and think that once you've hit a bad stage in life you just have to get up again. It's pointless to concentrate on emotional pain and better to just get on with everything. You also are a down to earth type of person and think before you act. Impulsive people may annoy you somewhat.

Main weapon: Sword
Quote:"Always do the right thing. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" -Mark Twain
Facial expression: Small smile
