If you could have any type of warrior(e.g. knight, samurai, ninja) to choose from for a game, what would that warrior type be?

My type of warrior would be a "get-up-in-the-morning-with-a-smile-on-his-face-and-be-in-a-good-mood" type kick-ass warrior. As is I'm a "grumpy-as-hell-don't-talk-to-me" samurai in the morning who cuts open and drinks an orange's blood.

But then, I could just as well be a beagle and forget about the warrior stuff. Or a laughing dodo. Not sure. I'd probably prefer the dodo actually, less slicing in the morning compare to the warrior and less barking when compared to the beagle. I would like that somewhat.

My count of samurais and ninjas is one - I'm a smiling dodo. So most people are: 1...

Oh, okay.
In that case, I choose my Grandad.
He was a piper in the scottish army, and he fought in world war two.
What he and his fellow pipers did is walk toward the enemy before any of the other scottish soldiers, playing their bagpipes with a huge flag strapped to each of their backs.
He didn't have a rifle, but he did have a pistol.
My Grandad was one of the bravest men in the world :)

At his funeral, the rest of his piping regiment turned up to play the coffin into the church, as he had done at all the other funerals of pipers who were in his regiment.
There was only one piper left in the regiment, so he played on his own.
When he dies, no-one will be there to play the bagpipes for him, and that makes me sad :(
