Add up your points. Your total decides your results!

0-7: The Chosen One
It’s not your fault the story revolves around you. You didn’t ask for an ancient prophecy, a special birthmark, or magical powers — but hey, someone’s gotta drive the plot. You’re brave, loyal, and self-sacrificing. Maybe you’re a little unsure of yourself, but when push comes to shove, you’ll rise to the occasion, just like the legends foretold.

8-15: The Antihero
You aren’t here to play nice, you’re here to get things done. Your moral compass may be cracked, but it still points somewhere. You work in the gray areas, which often means more violence and apathy than your more pacifistic hero counterparts. You’re complex, compelling, and just dangerous enough to keep everyone on edge. You may not be the one people trust, but when things start going haywire, you’re the one they need.

16-23: The Pure-Hearted Idealist
You’re the kind of hero who sees the best in the world, even when everything has turned against you. People underestimate you because you’re soft and sweet, but you know how to kill them with kindness better than any other. You believe in loyalty, justice, and second chances — and evil-doers can’t shake those values. You’d hug the villain into redemption and then bake them cookies to celebrate!

24-30: The Brooding Loner
Not to be confused with the antihero, you’re an all-around good person who’s got a strong moral compass. That said, you tend to work best when flying solo, moving in the shadows. Your quiet nature makes you intimidating and unpredictable, but deep down, your huge heart is anything but cold. You’ve also probably got some sort of mysterious past, and maybe even a dramatic coat or cape for flair — Batman style!
