- **__Basic Information__** o Current City: London, England (The Westminster Abbey Graveyard ) o Hometown: Blantyre, Scotland o Sex: Male o Birthday: March 13, 1813 o Political Views: It doesn't matter, as long as I'm free to explore the world. I won't be in this country for long anyway, and nobody will be able to find me once I'm gone. o Religious Views: Protestant o Bio: My entire life I've wanted to be a missionary and explore the world while telling people the good news of Jesus Christ. Although I had to work as a child and my family was very poor, I studied whenever I could and one day went to medical school. Finally, I joined the London Missionary Society to pursue my dreams. At first I decided that it would be interesting to be a missionary to China, but the Opium War delayed this trip. While I was waiting for an opportunity to open up, I listened to a lecture by Dr. Moffat; he was planning a missionary trip to South Africa. The idea of exploring places nobody had been to before was intriguing, so I signed up. In total, I ended up traveling to Africa on three separate trips, both on missionary terms and exploration terms. I discovered many rivers, lakes, civilizations and landforms during my adventures and also wrote several books depicting my encounters. Over all, I really loved exploring this primitive area and helping the people there using missionary and medical means; sometimes I really got lost in my travels - both figuratively and literally. o Favorite Quotations: “ We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey. ” ~ John Hope Franklin “ We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... and know the place for the first time. ” ~ T.S. Eliot

__Quizzes__** -** **RESULTS:** The Crow: Intelligent, and very open-minded. You love to talk and you’re very persuasive, you always seem to know how to get what you want. Curious as well, be careful not to poke your beak into places it doesn’t belong. You love to travel, too. People find it hard to keep track of you.
 * QUIZ 1: What is your animal personality?
 * - EXPLANATION:** This quiz shows more about my personality. Although I'm not sure about being persuasive, it's definitely true that I love to travel and it can be very difficult for people to keep track of me when I go wandering on my own. For example, nobody knew where I went during one of my African expeditions, and they had to send people to look for me.

-** **RESULTS:** Somewhere in Between: At times you feel you need to be alone and get drained by talking to other people, but at times you crave the company of others and get bored with your own thoughts. (Me:How?) You think a lot, and are introspective, but at the same time you feel the need to convey your feelings to others by communicating.
 * QUIZ 2: Introvert, extrovert or somewhere in between?
 * - EXPLANATION:** Since I am in between an introvert and extrovert, I like communicating with others but when I get too exhausted I prefer retreating to a peaceful place to think. I like being out in nature where I can think while observing my surroundings. However, it's always good to be around others and I spend a lot of my time talking to and helping other people.

-** **RESULTS:** Artistic and Adventurous: This is great! You love the outdoors and the fresh air. Things that seem to scare others, tend to be interesting to you, like spiders or thunder. You bring the bright side to everything. Your personality is the perfect mix of Relaxation, Free will, ambition, and Curiosity. (I've been told a lot that i act like this...) AWESOME JOB!
 * QUIZ 3: What type of person are you
 * - EXPLANATION:** I agree that I am adventurous person, but I'm not so sure about artistic. Also, although I'm flattered to hear it, I really don't think I'm a very positive person; I don't necessarily "bring the bright side to everything". However, I am definitely full of ambition and curiosity.

- RESULTS:** 50's: you are daring and determined~!!
 * QUIZ 4: Which era are you from?
 * - EXPLANATION:** Although I'm actually from the mid 1800's, the 50's sounds like a decent era. I am certainly daring and determined because of the type of work I do, in the middle of Africa. It is really dangerous and there are always chances to be killed or get sick, but I do it anyway.

- RESULTS:** Your power is earth: The natural power to give life to plant and to make earthquakes belongs to you. This is the only power that can heal and you must be proud of it.
 * QUIZ 5: What's your magic power?
 * - EXPLANATION:** I am glad that my magic power has to do with nature and healing because that's what I do best. I love being surrounded by nature which is why I like being in the middle of African jungles. Also, I spend a lot of my time healing other poeple as a doctor. This power will be very useful to me.
