I'm not looking for a specific answer, I just want to heae the thoughts of the community and hear what kind of mindset you guys have towards yourself ^^

So, my question is: What sort of character/ archetype do you see yourself as /look up to and why?

For me, I've always thought that I would be a court jester.

Even though there's the broad stereotype in being useful for only mindless humor, the court jester did much more in medival times. Their sort of foolishness was believed to be a gift from God, thus they were one of the few people who could actively speak their mind when it came to criticism and politics. They were allowed to poke fun at the king, his court, and rivals, and he would even give the leader his own advice through his jests.

I kind of look up to that mindset. Regardless to what situation I'm in, whether I'm serving a good king or a bad one, It would feel great to have the freedom and power to not only make people laugh, but also pull the strings and have those around me listen and respect my opinion. It is my purpose to help others around me, and although its mostly through emotional support and laughter, I can use my wit to my advantage and possibly backhandedly fight for my own cause/opinion. Instead though, I'm not forcing my belief onto anyone else, I'm merely convincing other of the merit of my ideas, giving reasons, and gaining trust through an ability to laugh and make people happy. I'm definitely a humanitarian.

In short, I like to make others happy by gaining trust and being able to work behind the scenes to reach and convince what I believe is right.

In that fashion, what do you guys think you guys would be based on your own personalities and actions?
