The Steampunk Character Test
Pioneer
You are a pioneer! You build roads and span rivers, conquering the vast expanse of your country's colonial empire in a never-ending search for raw materials. You are cold, wet and miserable, or hot, parched and miserable for the better part of your life. The wide-open spaces still offer some reward: very few land-grabbing rich. It is this desire to be your own man (or woman), on a piece of land that you can call your own, that keeps you going.
Some savages might take offense to your occupying ''their'' land, but what would they do with it? You are on a mission of civilization!
