Although an Indian, I would never want to be like a typical Indian warrior. Although very fierce, they all were too religious & followed the pious rules of war too much. So much that they always got defeated due to this limitation.
I would like to be an Indian Rajput warrior with the mentality of a Muslim Turk. As fierce as a rajput, as crafty / cunning as a Muslim Turk

You know that in a letter, Joan of Arc said that she would march into Bohemia and take out the Hussites after the English War.


Yes, I do know that...though the authenticity of the letter is disputed. It might have been a fake cooked up by Sigismund to scare the Hussites.LOL


Yes, that is a possibility, but I doubt the Hussites would have been scared of the French after they had beaten the Crusader armies so many other times.

Seriously, for a year or so, I would like to be able to go back to the 15th -16th century and become ruthless mercenary. Then I would like to come back to today, and live my life as a boring person.
Zweihander Doppelsoldner, is probably what you want to be :). But i must agree, life of a Landsknecht is sort of appealing. Their flamboyant clothing, and foul mouths enforced by the recklessness and blind bravery of the Forlorn Hope.

You know the problem with mead? It is a highway to hangover. Trust me, I know.

Women hold their councils of war in kitchens: the knives are there, and the cups of coffee, and the towels to dry the tears.

While I have to agree with Aelfgifu and say that a longbowmen certainly would be cool. I think my all time favourite is a commander of light turkic or beudoin cavalry. I love the idea of harrassing your enemy and disappearing into the desert or steppe.

If I'm stuck in Europe, I'm going to the scottish highlands and fighting from the heather and the hillls.

A Jedi, so calm under pressure.
Of the real warriors I would either stick true to my ancestry and be a viking beserker (completely losing control or going beserk is something I am not unfamiliar with) or fight for Alexander the Great as one of his companions (no explanation needed).

A pagan chief in medieval Baltic.
I would learn natives how to fight in pikemen formation and to use some advanced tactics. Order and discipline.
Defending paganism against filthy Christians. Wink
 
And I would be a german knight in the baltic, nice cool weather, sweet looking chain shirts, and a huge axe to cleave my enemies in twain.
But mostly I would be bringing God's infinite mercy and love to primitive savages at the end of said axe. Wink
 
Also no horses, I hate horses......

I'm just wondering how many people voted for what their ancestors would've been doing?

Because I just realised thats exactly what I did - Arab, Paki and Scotts, with some English on the side. LOL

My ancestors were probably peasants, so I naturally voted to be a freebooting minor aristocrat.

I've always liked the thought of them holding back whilst the battle rages on before them, until the last moment when they are ordered forward and in a furious charge smash through the enemy ranks.
 
 
Harald Hardrade is my Hero and yes I would love to be a Viking Mercenary as well. Being one of then Ten men for that really dangerous mission, I would like to do that too.
 
There were Warrior poets, knowing who I am I fall into that category like the right puzzle peice.
