Ever get the feeling you've got one specific role within your social groups? I get that feeling all the time. With some individuals I'm a sort of shrink - a place where people can sink sad stories and bounce thoughts around - but for the most part I fit one role only: I am the diplomat. My goal is always to look at things objectively and never take sides until I have the facts. If I see a crisis, I always offer to moderate and propose solutions and sweeping compromises that leave everyone as happy as possible. I seem to excel at this, since I generally succeed in staying on everyone's good side damn near all the time. I'm often the person that interjects into a rant to explain to someone the side of the person they're ranting about and rather than always support my friends like I'm expected to, I try to make sure the friends understand all points of view in the argument. This may get me in trouble sometimes, but it works wonders in the long run.
What are your thoughts? Are you a diplomat, a catalyst-instigator, a planner, or something else entirely? Do you agree with my assessment of myself? Discuss!

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm a wizard. duh.
I think you make a pretty good neutral guy, but i wouldn't say "Diplomat". That implies that you use tact and diplomacy...
i'm the party bitch
:]
Just because I constantly abuse you doesn't mean I don't use tact and diplomacy with other people. :P
Fireball! Fireball!
while you fireball him i'll be dominating your pal with the big sword over there and convince him it's a good idea that you lose your hands. while you sort that mess out i flee and convince the local populace that you're an evil cultist coming to sacrifice their babies and virgins.
Diplomat you are indeed. What would I fall into? Wait i have it. Halfling. I'm the chef.
I'm the quiet person that people don't talk to much.
But I can see you as diplomat.
