HOW TO SCORE YOUR RESULTS

Count the letters you wrote down.


If you answered mostly A:
(view spoiler)[
You are a knight of the Order of Knights of Merciful Aid.
You're disciplined, competent, and organized. You serve a higher purpose and you tend to take a rational approach to most problems. Your mission is simply to protect mankind, even if it means protecting it from itself. You are lethal, honorable, and, unfortunately, convinced that you are always right
(hide spoiler)]

If you answered mostly B:
(view spoiler)[
You are a shapeshifter of the Pack.
Family is the most important thing to you. You don't trust outsiders, and while you're fanatically loyal to your friends, you're courageous and aggressive and emotions occasionally tend to get the better of you. You value loyalty, restraint, and courage above all.
(hide spoiler)]

If you answered mostly C:
(view spoiler)[
You're a member of the People.
You pilot undead for a living and believe that most problems can be resolved through application of reason, money, or a vampire. You believe in the pursuit of academic excellence, as long as it doesn't conflict with your financial well-being, you like the finer things in life, and you feel that those who work hard should be able to show off the fruits of their labors.
(hide spoiler)]

If you answered mostly D:
(view spoiler)[
You are a witch of the Covens. You believe in balance: for every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction. He who disrupts the harmony of the world will get his comeuppance one way or another. You're independent and comfortable in your own skin, you live and let live, and you look to nature for guidance in resolving your problems
(hide spoiler)]

If you answered mostly E:
(view spoiler)[
You are a cop of the Paranormal Activity Division.
You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and tend to see the world in black-and-white. The laws are there for a reason and you make sure that they stay in place. You live hard and party hard because you never know when you might have to put yourself between a crazed maniac armed with a fireball and a random citizen who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
(hide spoiler)]

If you answered mostly F:
(view spoiler)[
You are a mercenary of the Guild.
Life is hard, but you're harder. You tend to look out for number one. You risk your hide to provide for you and yours, you work hard, and you don't let anyone get the better of you. When you take a job, you get it done, but you always keep your eyes on the prize, and if it gets too nasty, you aren't above walking away from the whole thing
