About This Quiz

Wyatt Earp just wants to retire in a small town, but he can't stand by when thugs start wreaking havoc. Whether you've always wanted to engage in a legendary gunfight, or just head for the hills in your downtime, Tombstone is the place to be. 

Can you picture yourself as a gunslinger in the Wild Wild West? Did you watch every episode of "Tombstone" and imagine yourself as one of the characters? 

Before we can tell you which character you're like, you need to understand that we're not talking about Tombstone, Arizona, but rather the 1993 movie, "Tombstone." The movie was set in the 1880s, when the West was wild and when men were... well, probably smelly and unshaven. 

"Tombstone" highlights the adventures of the real-life characters Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, William Brocius and Johnny Ringo at the O.K. Corral, and the search for outlaw cowboys known as the Earp Vendetta Ride. So, while yes, these events took place at least partially in Tombstone, Arizona, (where lots of folks lived) we're talking about a specific group of individuals here, not just your average Tombstone man about town.

If you identify with one of these historic characters, take this quiz to find out exactly which one is your personality match!
