"What's beyond that sea, I wonder? The children leave their homes in search of this quest. As they search, they are always asking questions. What's out there? What's waiting for me? Leaving their innocence behind, they set out on this journey and experience many life-changing adventures. Countless difficulties lie in wait. Moments of despair. The lure of the razor's edge. There is always hope, joy, meeting new friends. They face challenges but in the process, they come find themselves. This is a journey. When they have conqured a new land, yet another sea is reflected in their eyes. What's beyond that sea? When boys become young men, they begin their own quest. Life is an endless journey." - Narrator, Outlaw Star episode 9: "A Journey of Adventure! HUH!"
"Just listen for a minute. There's something my old man told me a long time ago. He always said, "People who think big, make it big. People who choose to only think small will only earn chump change the rest of their lives --- it's the way things are! And that is what business is all about. Jim, if you're gonna do something, do it big! You know, that's the Starwind and Hawking Enterprises motto!" - Gene Starwind to Jim Hawking, Outlaw Star episode 9: "A Journey of Adventure! Huh?"

Death is not the end, but yet another journey--one that we all must take. The gray rain curtain of this world parts, everything fades to silver glass and then you see it--the white shore and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

Lawful Evil: A mercenary who always keeps his contract (good or evil), but enjoys a job where he gets to hurt people. Example: Career Killers Agent 47, Star Wars Bounty Hunter Boba Fett, Knight Templar Tsundere Motoko Aoyama, Career Killers Artemis Entreri, Most Master Computers (i.e. HAL-9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey, V.I.K.I. from I Robot, the WOPR (War Operation Plan Response) computer in the movie War Games, and GLaDOS from Portal)
Neutral Evil: As a neutral evil character, you will take what you want, by force if necessary, and keep it for yourself. Example: Heroic Sociopath Revy, Spoiled Brat Sarah McDougal, The Slacker Dark Action Girl Shego
Chaotic Neutral: The ultimate free spirits, or just lunatics? Example: Cloudcuckoolander Genki Girl Rebellious Spirit Tsundere Suzumiya Haruhi, Gadgeteer Genius Genki Girl (and quite possibly Mad Scientist) Kaolla Su, Bottle Fairy Mitsune "Kitsune" Konno, Cloudcuckoolander Gadgeteer Genius Genius Ditz Playful Hacker Genki Girl with Overly Long Name Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV
Remember, a Rogue can be any alignment, so go ahead and be a Lawful given to ruthless deception and remember, too, that moderate Lawfuls can still be adaptable (i.e. Mr. 47). A strong-willed sense of independence may seem Chaotic, but this can be simply the result of being self-employed as a mercenary.
What it all boils down to when your back's against the wall:

Top Ten Goals to Do Before Age 25
1) Compete in a triathlon, then a marathon.
2) Compete in Ninja Warrior at least once, aiming to get past Stage 1.
3)
4) Engage in fun (if not amoral) occupations for pleasure and profit (e.g. bounty hunting, voice-over acting, writing).
5) Be a martial artist, contortionist, and traceur, developing my body to the max like Bruce Lee.
6) Go back to college for my self-esteem. There is a difference between "intelligence" and "academic achievement".
7) Visit Tiajuana and Amsterdam for some hedonistic fun.
8) Train for, enter, and/or win an eating contest (incorporating speeadeating into Big Eater http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigEater tendencies) and be an Ice Cream Man for one season.
9) Climb Mount Everest. And maybe K2.
10)
If I live that long. Given some of my careers, I could end up dead in an alleyway in Mumbai, but at least I would be having the time of my life fighting for what I believe in. Or for money. That's good, too.

Your result for The Liberty Test by humder ...
Capitalism
You scored 13Positive, 42 Negative!
You are strongly against any government intervention in the economy but believe the government is still needed to maintain a stable society. To you, liberty is the freedom to work hard for your own benefit and to have total control over your own property. You also belive that liberty is strongest when there is social order to pursue your own interests.

"Nobody questions why we, after Pearl Harbor, attacked Nazi Germany. It was because we were taking on a form of global fascism, we're doing the same thing now ... It seems to me quite obvious that our country and the entire Western World is up against an existential foe that knows exactly what it wants.... For some reason, nobody seems to be talking about who we're up against, and the sixth-century barbarism that they actually represent. These people saw people's heads off. They enslave women, they genitally mutilate their daughters, they do not behave by any cultural norms that are sensible to us. I’m speaking into a microphone that never could have been a product of their culture, and I'm living in a city where 3000 of my neighbors were killed by thieves of airplanes they never could have built." - Frank Miller on the issue of the second Iraq war in an interview with American radio network National Public Radio on January 24, 2007

"Spike's philosophy seems to be based on the ancient samurai ideals of immediacy, such as considering oneself as dead and the idea of death being an awakening from a dream, which are both elements of bushidō illustrated in the Hagakure." - "Spike Spiegel", Wikipedia.

Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense.
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims? Prepare to defend yourself, or prepare to be raped, robbed, murdered.
