Which Sci-fi Character are you?

Aragorn is a character in the Middle-Earth universe. There is a description of him at TheOneRing.net.

Mosquito is a fan based (Browncoat) parody of Firefly. I personally cannot vouch if it is any good as they have exceeded their download limit until sometime Wednesday. But apparently it is supposed to be.
Here is a link to the Mosquito site :
