Which primarch are you?


Recommended Posts

If I'm honest its Rogal Dorn, not only in my view but he's the Primarch that my friends who also read the books and do the hobby identify me as the majority of the time. I'm aware I have an ego, but I need it to be validated by others and their faith in me etc I tend to not be able to talk myself up well and I have a self-depreciating sense of humour.

 

When praised I tend to be quite humble, I don't take it well several times arguing against the praise of having to rationalise it as something else. I am however loyal to a fault and whilst quick to become frustrated I'm slow to truly anger and have difficulty holding a grudge except for the worst offenses in these cases I don't let a grudge go. I do have a big issue with lying, even when it benefits myself and have at work been honest about several things even thought its not in my benefit because I just don't agree with lying. Whilst I have aspects of the other Primarchs at any given moment, as the represent shared facets of humanity the majority of the time I am Dorn.

My favorite legions probably are the Death Guard, Night Lords and Blood Angels.

 

Primarchs most like myself however? I have been called by my friends an intelligent guy, yet also somewhat of an "instigator." I know myself to be loyal and I value bravery in all things above any other trait. Honestly, I suppose I see myself most in Lorgar. Intelligent and loyal (faithful, in that sense. I am Catholic as well, though not overtly so) yet possessed of qualities that do not endear me to others and occasionally do not endear me even to myself. I am a scholar more than a fighter, as though I am unafraid of physical conflict, I will be the first to admit I am not the strongest nor the quickest physical specimen ever encountered. Lorgar was known for his sheer charisma, and that is something I do not see in myself.

 

So yeah, call me Aurelian ;)

 

EDIT: Also, a common joke amongst my buddies is to tell me "DO IT, you won't!" At which point, I inevitably accomplish the task they are referring to. Take that as you will. I can be difficult, so I'm told. However, most telling of all the comments I've ever heard in relation to this thread is that I "trust too readily and too deeply." Like I said: Lorgar! ^_^

Well I have to say that my favourite Primarchs are not the ones I relate to at all, rather they share the traits that I would like to have.

 

In all honesty it took some time to think about which primarch my personality and character is most similar to, rather than the Primarchs I think I am. It took me by suprise to realise that I'm not like Guilliman, Dorn, Sanguinius or Magnus. Rather I most identify with Lorgar, traditionally the Primarch I like the least. I'm passionate about what I think is right. I can be blind to things that are obvious. I'm empathic and can relate to people. I can lead people through example and speech and can sway people to the way I think. When I was younger, I was too trusting of people and could be manipulated. Though I'm not a religious person, I am spiritual and have an unshakable faith in what I do believe. I'm told I can be arrogant it times (I'm not self aware enough to see it myself;) )I'm definately more of a scholar than a warrior and I'm fairly charismatic.

 

Reeling off a list of character trait makes me sound like a bit of a douche so yeah, commander of the seventeenth it is:)

Seeing as I am a debator extraordinaire, and my lust for the greater good of everyone (no thats not Tau blood pulsing through me <_< ) I would have to say Alpharius Omegon. I love to use secrecy and deciet in tactics of gaming as well as our quite frequent fluff debates. As my favorite "chaos" legion, I love how they are the most loyal legion even in heresy. I see that in myself as I will do whatever I must to get my job done, even if they don't like it at the moment, I know they will respect my decision.

 

"We are Legion. We are Alpharius."

Ignoring bias towards the Dark Angels, and my less-than-fond view of the Space Wolves ( I'LL JAWS OF THE WORLD WOLF YOU!!!) I really see myself as Lion El'Jonson.

 

No matter where I am or who I am with I feel a difference to those around me. Even when with my best friends (games and geeks all) I don't feel I totally belong. I am socially awkward, preferring my own company to groups and speaking only when the situation requires it.

 

My gaming style is also similar. I take a moment to assess the situation, usually when I cannot spare said moment. I try to use the most minimal force needed, argueing that a direct approach is not always the best even if it works. I try to plan ahead, but have a slight tendancy to not ask for assistance when the metaphorical faeces hits the proverbial fan.

I believe myself to be closest in character to, surprise surprise, Sanguinius of Baal. Why? Because I am a very creative person by nature and I generally try to set a good example for others, however I also have a great deal of bottled anger and rage brewing under the surface that on the rare occasions I fly off the handle shows itself explosively.

I'm also somewhat like Magnus the Red and the Lion of Caliban, like Magnus I am extremely inquisitive, fond of books and prize knowledge over brute strength (that and I'm far taller than the rest of my family, much like the Cyclops himself). My similarities to the Lion is mainly due to my somewhat antisocial nature, I have Aspger's Syndrome and am slightly autistic meaning I have difficulty communicating with others, especially people I don't know that well.

 

On the negative side I take after Horus, Angron, Perturabo and Konrad Curze.

Horus: I can be somewhat bossy and stubborn to people at times.

Angron: I believe I mentioned the vicious rage brewing beneath the surface earlier?

Peturabo: I can be very distrusting and cold to people if I'm in a bad mood with them.

Konrad Curze: When I get it a bad mood I tend to snap at people easily and brood about things for long periods of time and often lash out at (verbally) or push away others if they try to help me.

Lion El' Johnson. What I believe to be right is so mind-bogglingly obvious to me that I often have difficulty empathizing with others.

 

I admire Rogal Dorn the most though, from what I've read of him in the Heresy series, he was a man of honor and everything a Space Marine should strive to be.

I am slow to anger (now, this used to be a different story lol) and kind/compassionate, so I see some Vulkan in me there. But, when it comes to my beliefs, I am incredibly stubborn and cannot understand why anyone else would feel differently, so as per the post above, that's a Jonson like quality. For the most part, however, I see myself as being Guilliman or Dorn like, as I am stubborn, loyal, focused on efficiency, confident but humble, and intelligent. I can also be vengeful, stubborn to the point of near stupidity, and lose it when I finally am pushed far enough into anger. But my code of honor and respect and my faith are my guiding principles through life, and therefore I see more Guilliman/Dorn there (and maybe a sprinkle of Khan, after reading Savage Scars and the White Scars emphasis on honor).
I am a black templar but in all honesty I fall in line with Dorn. Simply because I love defenses which is why I am so good at destroying them. I am fiercely loyal to family and friends. I will always finish the mission by the ways of my personal code of honor.

As much as I love the Blood Angels, I am most like Leman Russ.

 

I love enjoying a few (many) drinks every now and then (often), I'm a dog person to the core, I'm very loyal to my friends and family and very rarely take things seriously. Also, I don't mean to sound like a complete douche, but I am a fairly intelligent guy, even though I very rarely feel the need to show it. In fact, I often do/say dumb stuff just to make people think I'm dumber than I really am. I like misleading people like that. I guess it's all about provocating unsuspecting people and getting sick enjoyment from seeing their reactions. :P So yeah, the bearded Wolf King of Fenris for me! :) *smashes table and pours ale on himself*

 

Which reminds me I really need to get back working on my Wolves one of these days...

This is rather hard for me as I see aspeccts of a lot of the primarchs in me.

 

I see Magnus in my constant search for knowledge and I also belive that no

Knowledge is "evil" only the use of knowledge can be evil.

I see Dorn in my stubborn and loyalty, I have caused myself a great deal of

Difficulty in defending friends and family but I would make the same move

again.

I see Angron in my anger and tendancy to become nigh on uncontrolable

when angry.

And i see Mortarrion in the way that I very rarely get ill, during the swin flu

Outbreak all my family got it and I was left fit and healthy.
