Fantasy archetype...

[fajrdrako]

I'm not sure how predictable it was, but this result for this quiz seems to list many of my favourite heroes:

What Fantasy Archetype Are you?
The Seasoned Veteran Friend You are the Seasoned Veteran Friend! You resemble Aragorn (Lord of The Rings), Merlin (Arthurian Legend), Han Solo (Star Wars), The Marquis (Neverwhere), Sirius Black (Harry Potter) and Chase (Wizard's First Rule). You are exceedingly loyal, tricky and hardy. You regularly pull the Unlikely Hero, Mentor and Pillor-of-Strength Love Interest out of trouble and into safety. Beware The Traitor, who will make your job intensely difficult. And don't coddle the Unlikely Hero too much, he has to learn how to fend for himself. Anyway, everyone admires you and your resourcefullness / reliability - good going!

And I hadn't heard of "Neverwhere". Care to comment on it?

Neverwhere (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverwhere) was actually first a TV series written by Neil Gaiman, but I first came across it as a novel (also by Gaiman). It's a fantasy story about a modern urban Londoner named Richard Mayhew who chances on "London Below", a fantastical world under and among the subways and sewers of London, with characters like a girl named Door and a trickster-adventurer named The Marquis of Carabas (http://www.zetaminor.com/images/cult_tv/neverwhere/neverwhere_14a.jpg) (who was, unsurprisingly, my favourite character, though come to think of it, I really liked Door, too).

Aw, Marquis of Carabas!
Does have a familiar ring... :)

I'll make a note to check it out... next weekend.
