Which archetype RPG class would you be in real life?

I'd love to be a necromancer, I'm specifically thinking about the Guild Wars class here though; I'd love to be able to summon a small army of fleshy creatures to do my bidding, or a fireball wielding mage... unfortunately those usually centre around intelligence and an affinity for books, I'm much more physically suited to be a warrior anyway.
I would love to be like a thief/ranger, but I expect I'm best suited to being a wizard, A very tall wizard.
I think I would be a Ranger. Marksmanship and Archery are hobbies of mine and I love trekking through the forest. The thought of stealthily fighting from a distance, only engaging in melee when the enemy has been weakened is appealing to me.
I am studying to become a Veterinarian so I guess animal companions and nature magic makes sense as well.
The scene in LOTR with Strider smoking a pipe in darkened corner of the Prancing Pony was f-ing awesome as well. Ranger all the way.

My physical build is more suited to running away from combat than engaging in it, but I'm pretty sharp, so I figure I'd be a mage or a healer. I prefer support classes anyway.
I'll take your job! You can go out dy.. uh *ahem* ADVENTURING while I stay safely at a town selling my wares. =DIckorus said:I have the build of your typical Warrior type so that would probably be my archetype, not complaining either, I quite like the idea of charging into battle with a sword and shield.

I may not be as adorable as Recette and her fairy assistant, but I assume I'll have no problems. Tbh I'm too non-violent to be anything like those rpg heros we have in video games. I'd go into shock at the first sign of battle. >.<

Or I could run a hotel! Good idea Captcha! X amount of gold a night to regain your health. :3
I'd probably go with a mage, as on the battlefield I'm more of a tactics person and I find the concept of uncovering ancient mythical magics as I plunge deep into the catacombs of the world to be very pleasing.
That and in my daily life I dabble with chaos magic, which while not as flashy can do some very interesting things and shows that I have the mental aptitude for such a thing.
Now if I were forced into a class based on who I am I imagine it would be a spell sword, as the game world isn't likely to ignore the fact that I'm 6'5" and can get aggro, and the spell part relates again to my general search for wisdom and ancient power.
Also, why don't more RPGs start this way? At least then I wouldn't be bothered when people are explaining the world to me. There could even be a moment at the end where I choose to stay in the fantasy world or leave (and if I stay endless questing).
Also, if I were to write such a thing I'd have your character realize he's in a video game if he goes the mage route (as what bigger and more obvious secret is there to learn when you manipulate the nature of reality with a glance).

Definitely a Ranger type class because I am proficient with a bow, I'm good with animals, I can hunt and track well, I'm tall and skinny (so no Warrior), and I work pretty well on my own. All in all, I think I'd make a pretty good Ranger...which is why I almost always play one!
