Guy or Doll?
You ask someone on the street for the time. They pull out a gold pocket watch and tell you. Do you:
A bartender serves you a straight shot of bourbon. You say:
You just realized the roulette wheel you've been playing is rigged. Do you:
A drifter with matinee-idol looks comes into your roadside diner asking for a meal in exchange for work. Do you:
The priceless artifact everyone has been searching for comes into your hands. Do you:
A gorgeous dame asks you to write a life insurance policy on her husband without his knowledge. Do you:
You're involved in what was supposed to be a simple little heist--but somebody gets killed. Do you:
You've just learned that your charming uncle from back east is actually a serial killer. Do you:
Your no-good husband informs you that he is running away with your own no-good daughter. Do you:
Torpedo
Torpedo
What can we say? Everybody hates you, nobody likes you. But that's okay with you, because the only thing you ever loved is your gun and the only things you ever trusted are your two fists. Feelings are for suckers--unless those feelings are rage, lust, perverse pleasure, and that deeply buried fear that eats away at you like a gut full of termites.
Boss
Boss
Once upon a time somebody tried to push you around, and you didn't like it. Now you do the pushing, and you're not gonna stop until you get to the top. It takes brains to run an operation like this, and you've got plenty, but a fist or a gun will do in a pinch.
Anti-Hero
Anti-Hero
Deep down you're a decent sort, but maybe you skipped a few Sunday school lessons as a kid, or maybe the dice never rolled your way, or maybe you've just got a weakness for easy money and the opposite sex. However you slice it, you've got a nose for trouble, but it's never too late to do the right thing.
Femme Fatale
Femme Fatale
You never got a break in your life, but you don't care, because you've got what it takes to make your own breaks--breaking hearts a specialty. You know exactly what you want, and the only way to get it is any way you can.
Flatfoot
Flatfoot
Dogged, tough, suspicious--you've got everything it takes to fight crime, except brains. Leave the deducing to Sherlock Holmes--you know a guilty mug when you see one, and you'll worry about the evidence later. Generally honest, you're not above bending the rules for a pal or to make a collar.
Sweet Kid
Sweet Kid
Life may not be all ice cream and puppy dogs, but wouldn't it be swell if people tried just a little harder to be decent? You're smart but naive, moral but no prude, and attractive without making a big show of it. You don't go looking for trouble, but somehow you always seem to trust the wrong people.
Grifter
Grifter
You've got nothing against principles--they're just a luxury you can't afford. You're wily, quick-witted, and always know which side of the bread is buttered, but sometimes you're too smart for your own good. Your highest goal is to get by, but you often wind up with the short end of the tamale.
Gumshoe
Gumshoe
You're the closest thing we've got to a hero in this cockeyed caravan, but nobody's mistaking you for Captain America. Sure, you're a regular Boy Scout when it comes to little old ladies and kids in trouble, but you're a wolf when it suits you and you consider the law a collection of strong suggestions at best, a corrupt game at worst. You'll always do the right thing if you can, but you're flexible when it comes to matters of love and survival.
