Who would you like to be?

[Anomaly]

OK. We all read a lot. We have read many many novels. Sci Fi and/or Fantasy.

For me the great fun is the what if of it all.

What if I could fly FLT ships and go to different worlds.
What if I could meet aliens and observe their societies.

Imagination. That's it.

I've lived in China and traveled the world in my profession. So I imagine that I would be an explorer. Not neccessarily the heroic type. Just a working class 9 to warp type.

Anyone game to confess their dream?

[Curt Chiarelli]

I think my ultimate goal would be to become the very first artist to record life on another world, an exobiological version of James Audubon!

[dustinzgirl]

I want magic powers. Like in AD & D or Eragon or Wheel of Time or whatever. Not too picky about it.

Then I would totally rule the universe!



Actually I would love to go to alternate dimensions and see things differently, you know since we only see in certain dimensions, and math shows us there are more, what do they look like? Feel like? ect....

I just want to explore things that can not be explored in our current physical state.

And kill an evil dragon. That would be cool. I could mount its head on my wall!

Must mean a lot of people adore you! : ) Or you are really lazy. One of the two! :wink:

When I first read Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series the first time (a good few years ago now!) I wanted to see a world where humans and dragons lived side by side. I don't know whether it's technically possible or not, but that was always a dream of mine.

You may very well think that . . . . but I couldn't possibly comment! Okay, problem fixed, ready to receive all incoming messages!

I always wanted to be Kimball Kinnison.

[Culhwch]

I'd like to be a wanderer of some kind - maybe on a survey ship, or a small-time merchant. Free and easy, that's the life for me.

So who's Kimball Kinnison, then, Pyan?

[pyan]

Sorry, Cul.

Amazon.ca: Galactic Patrol: Books: John Clute,Edward E. Smith,Ric Binkley

[Culhwch]

Ta. I'm so very ignorant...

[pyan]

Not at all.
So many books, so little time............

[Beldarius]

I would probably be something like an "alien language - human language" translator or something like that.

If I was a character in a book, I'd be a Jedi in Star Wars. xD And if I was an existing character, Kyp Durron comes to mind (if I changed my gender, that is... and I'm not even nearly as dark and arrogant as he is).

[Chrystelia]

I'd like to be a Sithi and live in Jao E Tinukai'i. On a grand scale, I'd like to be the deity in charge of sending dreams and nightmares to all you mortals...

[HappyHippo]

Oooh, I like your style!

I'd not want to go into space, as I can't handle heights *mwahaha*, and I'm not sure about the lack of propper plumbing in conventional fantasies, as they're all medaeval. I think I'd really like to spend time learning withcraft and headology from Granny Weatherwax. She's just plain COOOOOOL.

[Dr. Atomic]

At first I thought I'd l ike being a Jedi, just to have the lightsaber. But that whole thing about remaining celibate... not for me.

Then I thought about being a researcher of the H.P.L. variety... but they tend to meet very bad ends, and that doesn't sound so hot.

So I think I'd like to be a space hero... someone from the Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon/Tom Corbett/Space Patrol school of do-goodery. I'd get to have a ray gun, a space ship, and probably a robot. And of course, there's the requisite space babe*: Smart, resourceful, strong, heroic, cute, able to kick alien butt even while wearing the least practical of shoes...

Cruising the space ways, fighting ne'er do wells, saving the galaxy week after week... Yep, that sounds mighty fine to me. Migh-T-Fine.

*The usual space babe -- swooning in fear, clinging to the hero while he fends off the BEMs -- isn't gonna cut it. This is a new millennium, and we space heroes like to know that, if push comes to shove, we can swoon in fear, or cling to our space babes while they fend off the BEMs.

[deletrix]

It would be kind of nifty to be cybernetic, with equal parts machine and human. Or to be a completely aware/autonomous/awesome cyborg like Sanakan (in my avatar). With or without a very large gun.

I'm also intrigued at the idea of being integrated (with the ability to separate myself from!) into a starship. =B
