What’s your steampunk personality?

By Susan | Published: February 16, 2011

Part of what makes steampunk so fun is that it’s got its cast of stock charaters–the aviator, the swashbuckler, the aristocrat, etc. But if you’re like me, you waffle about which one you want to be. Boy when I was trying to make my costume, I just couldn’t decide between “rough-and-tumble” or “prim-and-proper”.

So I made up this handy-dandy quiz for those of you who just can’t decide either! Just click on the picture and take the quiz to find out!

♦ Tell me in the comments what your steampunk persona is! ♦

♦ I’m an Inventive (and slightly befuddled) Tinkerer. ♦

Share and Enjoy:

Uh-oh, I’d better steer clear of you…unless…will you hire me as a minion?? I’m pretty inventive, you know.

I am the Perfectly Polished Aristocrat. OHOHOHO. Clearly I must work on my frou-frou accent.

Tut tut, my dear!

I’m a Perfectly Polished Aristocrat too! I’m not sure if I should be embarrassed about that or not haha!

Clearly you should be offended that anyone would assume any different. And then sip your tea with a slightly disgusted look on your face. Finally, require your servants to wind the automaton maid just to entertain yourself.

I’m joining Kat and Laura as a Perfectly Polished Aristocrat. Which totally makes sense because it was the fashion that attracted me to the cosplay side of the genre in the first place. As an aristocrat I can even dress up as these other characters for our fun costume balls when I’m bored!

Nice! You can definitely use masked balls to experience the other side of steampunk…you’re clothes will just be of a finer fit and quality.

I’m a downright bonkers scientist by day. By night, you’ll see me testing out my nefarious schemes and inventions on hapless clockwork automatons–don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe and legal–as far as you know…

Niiiiiice. That’s clockwork minions are for, I suppose… You may be off your rocker and bent on world domination, but you aren’t hurting anyone.

I was on track to be a Perfectly Polished Aristocrat, but I started changing up my answers and wound up a Downright Bonkers Scientist. Basically, I’m a dirty cheater … so maybe a Downright Bonkers Scientist after all!

Yay! You’re the first Airship Pirate–I think that means you have total control of the skies at this point.

I’m a Downright Bonkers Scientist, but you probably could have guessed as much. Muahahahahahaha!!!

Excellent!

Um, there is a DEFINITE overpopulation of Bonkers Scientists.

You guys are gonna have to duke out who gets to take over what nation…or else you’ll be pitted against each other (and nothing good can come of that).

Looks like I’m a no-nonsense tough-as-nails officer. (I think that’s what I *wish* I were, not what I actually am… )

Uh-oh, you’re the first OFFICER. Looks like all these Swashbuckling Pirates had better beware — the LAW IS ON THE LOOSE.

Yay! Another pirate to roam the skies and steal from the Perfectly Polished Aristocracy.

No one is stealing from me! That’s what I have all this money for, to hire all those ragamuffin, protect-their-betters, “Tough-as-Nails” officers. Also, I have been using too many hyphens. Tut-tut!

They may, however, steal from the *other* PPAs. That way, I shall be the richest of them all.

OOOH, another PIRATE! Our steampunk universe really has an overabundance of BAD and NOT-SO-GOOD guys… Bonkers Scientists and Airship Pirates seem to abound.

I also came out as a Swashbuckling Airship Pirate! It makes sense, considering my name and all…

Oh wow, the skies are getting crowded! We may have to have some crazy clockwork battles in the clouds to deal with all these PIRATES!

Woooooow, way too many pirates here! Look, that’s MY treasure –or it will be as soon as I steal it. Don’t even think of taking it… grrr

You’re gonna have to be sneaky, methinks! Look, I’ll make an explosive from my coffee canister and spectacles, and we can use that as a distraction — but you GOTTA split the treasure with me, alright?

I’ll definitely do it again! And, I was thinking, I could make a new one when the pub date is closer:

What’s your spirit-hunting style?
