View Full Version : What Discworld Character are you?

In Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, most of his characters are based on types of people. For this reason, you can see many similarities with people you know. For example, I have a very - and I mean very - smart friend, who is slightly mad. He's a cross between Leonard Da Quirm and the Bursar of Unseen University.lol
Appearances can be compared as well. When I read the Discworld books, I have very definite images in my head of what the characters look like. A friend of mine once said that, if I had a beard, I would be the spitting image of Lord Vetinarii, the Patrician of Ankh Morpork.
What characters in the novels can you associate yourselves or others with?

Well, I don't know who I would be by physical comparison, but in terms of world-weariness and cynicism I definitely see myself as Sam Vimes :-)

I'm probably closest to Agnes/Perdita since I have another personality that daydreams and offers advice and criticism even when I don't want it.
But I'm also a firm believer in everything Rincewind says! I'm not afraid of falling. :nono:
