You are Starbuck! You are a rational person whose actions are guided by your own moral compass. You are the voice of reason among the masses. You know when to fight and when to not. Though, you are a quiet individual, you are not afraid of voicing your own opinions. Although, you sometimes struggle when someone doesn't necessarily agree with you. You can always see a few steps ahead of your comrades. You can anticipate the outcomes or consequences of other's actions before they can.

Starbuck

No I don’t mean you smell, you are the main protagonist of Moby Dick, Ishmael! Easy-going and charming in your own way; yet at the same time you are complicated and philosophical in multiple occasions. You are presented as an enigmatic figure, though not much is known about you, your love for aquatic adventure is undeniable. When it comes to the sea, you are a romantic. You set sail outward into the vast ocean in pursuit of some form of spiritualism with a child-like eagerness. However, aboard the ship, you serve more as an observer than anything else. Afterall, you are in the journey for the experience.

Ishmael

Congratulations! You are Queequeg! You’re the son of a South Sea chieftain who left home to explore the world. As a fierce harpooner, you can kill on command and then will probably go sell the head of your kill around town. Everyone thinks of you as this fierce cannibal who only eats his meat rare, but in reality you have a big heart and a soft spot for your dear friend Ishmael. In fact, you had made such a deep connection with Ishmael, that he made sure to have you join him aboard the Pequod! Overall, you’re an outsider among white society but fit in very well due to your easy going personality.

Queequeg

You are Captain Ahab, the Moby Dick obsessed captain of the Pequod who can be seen as someone tough but also has their softer side. Your one fatal flaw is your over confidence in conquering Moby Dick who, in your eyes, represents the evil in your life and seems to be your soul focus. Your crew may think that you have gone a little “mad” over Moby Dick but you are driven in your determination to rid the sea of the monster who has not only affected you physically but mentally as well.

Ahab

Elijah, who is known as the prophet aboard the Peequad, is seen as a bit crazy but is also seen as very wise and gives insight to the other mates. He is a religious man who develops a friendship with Queequeg to the extent that it appears they are "married". A non-traditional friendship to say the least considering that Elijah is a religious man who also practices different forms of worship with Queequeg. He may be a religious man but also seems to be a open minded man whose insight might give away to some foreshadowing through the story.
