In the "Forgotten Children" TL, I'm a third-generation diplomat and owner of the largest arms manufacturer in the Americas. Keeping a weary eye on the raging Continental War in Europe, I'm about to declare an island I own independent from the Southern Republic and become the new nation's Premier.
So How Are Your Analogues?

In Timeline Delta-13, I am a lawyer who has recently been in the public eye. I helped a homosexual couple, who were excapees from the facist Republic of Albion, gain legal status as a married couple, in the Allied Provinces of Antillea, who I met via a website about alternate history. I took the case all the way to the Grand Tribunal. Now, my little law firm, has more cases then it can handle, and a private army, as the underground Christian Terrorist Group, The Hand of God, has put a price on my head. But it didn't work out as they planned, as the Grand Prophet, Fred Phelps has been arrested, and the number two man, George. W. Bush, has recently been sent to New Alcatraz.
Well, having activated the rather natty AT Viewer system (downloadable from this site in TL P-23477A) I can reveal the following
In TL P (Parallel) -78119C I was KIA in the Falkland Islands campaign, serving in as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Gurkha Rifles
In TL P-43376K I am a civil servant in Christchurch, NZ -- unsatisfied in his job and having an affair with a co-worker
In TL SP (Semi Parallel) -05728S I am a member of the Underground Church Militant, a Christiant terror group who are carrying out a "Crusade" against the democratic countries of the middle east
In TL SP-42006T I am a member of the US Congress, agitating to have the native birth provisions overturned
In TL SP-69996I I appear to have never existed at all!
In TL NP (Non-Parallel) -08288J I am a coal miner in Venezuela suffering from Black Lung
In TL NP-33751H I appear to be a member of the intelligent species of the planet, thus I am an intelligent mollusc not dissimilar to an octopus
In TL NP-11162Z I am the de-facto dictator of a small nation state in central asia

Some interesting TLs:
In TL-1940-TBX-117-O I'm... a lot like OTL. Only my laptop doesn't have a hard drive, I own a used 1998 Ford Squareback wagon with the 351 V-8, and there's an anti-ballistic missile battery down the road. Oh, and apparently I'm reading an alternate-history about what would have happened had Britain continued in the war against Germany...
In TL-1992-AKL-243-A, Lamar Alexander is President, and my family moved to Connecticut in 1995. I'm going to MIT....
In TL-1776-DRK-769-C, I'm on my way to Alpha Centauri just like 99,999 other folks, escaping the damned Snakes.
In TL-2001-VRT-109-P, I've got four wives and am considering a fifth. Apparently 90% of the male population died from an influenza variant, and I'm a survivor. I'm not going to college, apparently any male that doesn't already have a useful skill is now a walking sperm bank. At least in the US they don't stockade you, and you only have to donate to a sperm bank on a weekly basis...
In TL-1991-NXR-666-E, World War III happened just as the USSR was about to collapse - both nukes and bioweapons got out of hand. Now I'm living a hardscrabble existance as a bean farmer in south Florida, married and 2 kids already at 19...
In TL-2001-NKX-125-G, I've been drafted into the Army serving as a mechanic. Apparently the War On Terror is a lot more expanded in that TL, into basically World War III.
In TL-1992-PTO-144-C, things seem to be looking up. Apparently different weather events meant that Hurricane Andrew swung north and hit central Florida, Miami didn't get hit with a hurricane until 1998 and it was only a category 2. My dad continued selling BMWs, and later became General Manager of a prominent Toyota dealership. We're now pretty wealthy, I've got a girlfriend and a complete ride at the University of Miami, and...hmm... Dan Quayle is President. Suprisingly, he's doing a decent job of it.
In TL-1995-XAT-345-W, I am apparently a Seventh Day Adventist. No, I don't know what happened either...

In KK223 I'm a hetman (equivalent of the general) of the Commonwealth's Army (Commonwealth of Free Nations: Poland, Bohemia, Lithuania & Ruthenia). Right now I'm defending a Pomeranian town besieged by the HRE's forces, and they're really starting pissing me off. Fortunately I have to resist only two days more, until great field hetman (equivalent of field-marshal) Brzęczyszczykiewicz will launch a counteroffensive.
In KK2008 I'm a younger librarian in New Serapeion in Alexandria.
In KK448 me and my brother wage a civil war against each other in Britain. The prize - throne of the High King of the United Kingdoms of Alba and Erin.
In KK765 I'm a slave in Turkish Rome.

Inspired by the Gurps Alternate Earths books (had no better idea):
Dixie: A student of mathematics or computer science who just made his Ph.D. and looks for a tenured position.
Reich-5: A political prisoner who was just brought into a KZ. My hopes for a release were just shattered by my fellow inmates who told me "don't bother, after the first fifteen years it's not that hard, actually".
Roma Aeterna: A heronian who tries to do some real science, as far as that's possible in a world where science is thoroughly mixed with esoterics.
Shikaku-Mon: An expatriate from a meaningless little German princedom trying for better in the Brazilian Empire. I didn't make a career or big money yet, but I met some interesting people in the peeper (that's a hobby spy, you perverts!) and hacker scene.
Ezcalli: A European slave who was sold to the Aztecs. If I rebel maybe I'm so lucky to get the honor being sacrificed to their !§$%&?*#@ gods.
Gernsback: A hopeful young computer operator working for the World Science Council.
Cornwallis: A wannabe-revolutioner against the wrecked HRE.
Ming: A low-rank official, working hard to learn Chinese, now the official government language of Datsin (Germany-France).
Midgard: Some serf in the Hungarian khanate (formerly HRE) dreaming of going a-Viking.
Caliph: A pious djinn (=AI) programmer.
Aeolus: A volunteer fighting for the Republic of A-H against the monarchists.
Centrum: Now things get interesting... a TL jumper in the service of the world government.

TL-2075346L: Technician in the Factory State of the Great Lakes
TL-95832A: Bureaucrat in the Office of War Zone Reclamation in the Northeast Union. Though I was born after the Last War, there is still much work to do in the War Zones of the Chesapeake and the Midwest near the old American bases.
TL-667433480 (Mexican Intervention):
Surprisingly accurate scholar on international relations...

Timeline Epsilon-33: A member of a very wealthy family, I spend most of my time traveling the world in my personal dirigible. My extended family thinks that I am a bit of a fool, and a spendthrift, what they don't know is that I have increased my personal wealth 10 fold in the years since my majority.

In an alternate timeline, I am Fernidad Friedrich, king of North and South Prussia.
I am very concerned about this thread, as it allows each poster to express his or her private fantasies. If the role is good, sexy, successful, this is a clear sign of the poster's monmania. If on the other hand the poster dies of a horrible disease or gets killed in some heroic act, it seems to indicate a latent masochism.
It panders to the unhealthy side of human nature.
I am going to have my secret police suppress it.

In this one particular timeline, a cyberpunk-type TL where technology advanced faster than in OTL, I have a completely cybernetic body save for my brain and spinal cord. (Accident) Farther in the future, I end up like a real-life version of the Jackal that was written about in the novel...
Yes, I get killed, but in a damn cool way.
