Alan Place - Byronic Hero

 A Romantic hero with a dark side

I would agree
Many people I knew said I was akin to a Bryonic Hero, the hero with a darker side, that I think is a fair comparrison, and a great compliment.
While I wouldn't dash to a country as Lord Byron did to fight in Greece, I am known for standing my ground, which earned me the monicker, Don Quixote, on one writing site, when I stood up against the site favourites for the site not keeping to its rules, and allowing the group to dictate what happened, usually to the benefit of the few in the group.
Lady Caroline Lamb
A phrase I would definitely use to describe myself comes from Lady Caroline Lamb, when describing Lord Byron, she said "He's mad, bad, and dangerous to know."
