    Also a farmer but the description doesn't just fits the farmer role.
    Funny, I can name a few generals and kings, but no soldiers under their command.
    All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

    Reality engineer. Reality has way too many issues that need to be fixed, so no other job would satisfy me.

    Probably some noble... born into privilege and luxuries, without the responsibilities.

    If not, then a "Farmer".

    I'll go with farmer. Goes hand in hand with the type of games I often play.

    A Soldier. A reliable but low ranking worker who ultimately rest victory or defeat. A possible Top Lieutenant where honor awaits.

    A Agent. A duplicitous lone soilder. No name no honor no recognition. Any light on you is your failure. The last line of defense from the nightmare.

    A Pirate. A individual who values gold over all else. Who’s honor is only tied to those who earned your crew.

    A Peacekeeper. A talker an ambassador the first and only hope against war.

    A Farmer. Someone who work at home or in the country a dreamer a tinkerer maybe even a medic. Lover of life and a family man.

    I would go with Agent or Farmer.
    I'd want to be anyone who is allowed to steal money from rich people like Oprah, and spend it on the things I want.

    Oh yeah? Well technically the Milky Way may already be colliding with Andromeda due to a massive hydrogen haze that may extend 2.5 million light years around the galaxy. This puts your leadership in immediate dispute. Why should we, the citizens of the Milky way accept you over the inevitable goddess of Andromeda, a galaxy 2x the size of our own ?
    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

    I don't worry over mortal minds speculation As for why should the current residents accept me as the ruler? Well, it's going to be cliche, but unless they all want to puff out of existence, and be replaced by something more exotic, like xenomorphs from Alien, then they better do.

    Or even better, I'll just create the xenomorphs at 1:10000000 ratio, in their favor over all the current residents combined. Then they can fight over my favor.

    An agent. They're always the most badass character in any particular story. Bond, Bourne, Coulson...

    The agent is the one that gets shit done. I don't need a name, this number will do just fine.
    9 out of 10 people agree that in a room full of 10 people one person will always disagree with the other 9.

    Same as I am now, business owner and entrepreneur.

    Being in control of my life, not being dependent on "the people" like a king would be, or by politics like a General. The rest are also just things kids want to be when they are 6 years old.

    First of all, great post, terrific list, and great descriptions.

    I would go with King. Nothing is a close second, but if forced to choose, probably Peacekeeper.

    History is written by the winners. The winners are not always heroes or truth writers.

    It doesn't matter, no one will know the truth if it's not written down.

    Only those that were there know the truth. The rest get to read stories that might be true or not.

    A general. I'm a field-guy type of person and usually lead groups (teams, friends, was a Raid Leader and Guild Master, projects + Im a boss at my work IRL). The description suits me the best.
