I made the personality test along with some friends.

3 of us turned out as Illuminati.

3 as Templars and 1 as Dragon.

I like how this game tells you a little about your friends like this. Well but it's not really as if I was surprised about the outcome lol

LOL do you have a token asian friend?

Personally, I got illuminati which totally figures given the other two options of either being a religious zealot or of east asian descent of which I am neither.  But I'm cool with that :D

My wife and I both scored Dragon. LOL, I don't think she's asian, at least not the last time I turned on the lights.

LOL I know, i'm only joshin. I just can't help but view it that way considering how they present the Dragons as a faction. I also can't stop myself from saying "Dragon tank"  in the voice of the unit from command & conquer: generals. But that's because I'm not all together sane. This little personality test has finally sparked some interest in this game for me, along with the the article featured in this thread. Maybe this game will be something to keep my eye on after all :D I was getting tired of only watching for planetside 2 updates since I couldn't care less about ToR or GW2. I may stand alone here, but I for one am tired of high fantasy elves and orcs and castles and keeps and swords/sabers (be they made of steel or light) and magic (be it elemental lightning or Midi-chlorians lightning) same old rehash.

Actually that's the very same thing my Illuminati friend said: "I'm sick of fantasy games - the only exception there is GW2"

Hmm and no my Dragon friend is a dutch girl. She likes to give in to the Dark Side lol

Clearly you totally missed out on what Templars and Dragons are....

I am going Templar, but damn this write up of how the action start for the Illuminati is much more fun than the templars. I am jealous!

I got Dragon in the test. I am chaos.

Then you  have no idea what templars or dragon are.

Templars have nothing to do with religion. They are bassically conservatives/republicans of the world, based around authoritarian order, laws and traditions of the old. 

Dragon  have nothing to do with "asia" in particular. They are pretty much Anonymous with magic powers for the lack of better description. Embodiment of chaos. No real order or governing structure. No clearly defined philosophy or doctrine, just a mass of entirelly independent different individuals under a common goal.

Admiral Ackbar was here. Sorry I couldn't resist to do it. Awesome looking mission is awesome.

Hmmm.. so the thrid faction are now being presented. I guess that means they are not fare from done with the game.

Hmm, just hope that AoC still gets more love. Please implement the single server technology NAU!! :P 

Ok, so short and sweet, the illuminati are the Camarilla from Vampire the Masquerade. Nice, but if I'm going to play that kind of court politics, I'd rather play Vampire.

The Dragon faction originated in Asia, but it's members need not any Asian root or link.  No faction is tied to specific ethnicities, at all.

Illuminati here.  I like the other two a lot as well, as each one has their own cool mystique: but something about the Illuminati rang true to me.

this looks good!

If everyone was like these power hungry monsters, then we'd be lost. It's the templars path, to hold off the darkness, which allows the world to stay illuminated. Think on this before you commit yourself to a cause that will lead to your downfall.

Join the Templars!

i can't identify with any of the factions in the secret world..wouldn't want to be in the illuminati as it's full of rich kids with big inheritence and all the elite slime in society. templars are religious fanatics so that's a no too.  I don't really know much about dragon but they don't sound too interesting

...team red, team blue and team green, won't matter much what you pick, gameplay is the same.

Nice
