Alignment Stuff

Post by KoriStronghammer » Thu Aug 09, 2012 12:50 pm

I've recently got back into Dungeons and Dragons, and it made me think about character alignments, and our characters. What would you say your characters alignment is?

Kori Stronghammer- Chaotic Good/Chaotic Neutral
Wulf- Neutral Good
Egg- Lawful Good

Sweet idea. I'm just snickering at all Kori's good and all Zina's evil. Here's my best guess at mine:

Erryl - Neutral
Arusa - Chaotic neutral
Jeeko - Chaotic neutral
Rorgue - Neutral

Everyone knows how much I hate D&D and how I dislike associating terms such as "good" and "evil" to a character based on their actions rather than looking into the driving force behind such actions or their own sense of morals/lack of morals. However, because it looks like everyone else is doing it, I might as well give it a shot but I make no promises as to if I've assigned the proper terms to each character.

Niabi - Neutral
Talion - Chaotic Neutral
Shann - Neutral Evil
Zain - Neutral Good
Sam - Neutral Good
Fathia - Lawful Good

Like in chat, for the most part good = selfless while evil = selfish. Neutral is the standard grey. I don't like the morals thing either, but if you think of it as a representation rather than good vs evil it helps make it more palatable.

Imma preface this by saying the D&D alignment system is okay, but it's a simplification and doesn't capture everything.

Chrish - Chaotic Good
Camulous - Lawful Good/Lawful Neutral (doesn't fit either properly)
Cervantes - Neutral Evil/Neutral Neutral (doesn't fit either properly)
Belatucadrus - Lawful Evil
Brin Moryldar - Neutral Evil

Camulous is basically lawful good, but he's also a bit of a nazi because he believes that by doing so he's protecting people. Imagine I had a spell that fucked with a paladin's ability to "detect evil" (a retarded spell to begin with) and I started making everyone in a village look evil. Your paladin may well be cutting a swathe of death through that village, because paladins in D&D are also quite fascist.

Cervantes is bitter and upset, so he behaves evil in most circumstances, but he's not that bad.

Cervantes is not evil! A bit misguided maybe, but not evil.

I've always had a bit of a like/dislike (not love/hate, that's too strong) relationship with D&D alignment. It really does oversimplify a personality, for the most part.

But my RPG roots are in D&D, and I do find it sometimes interesting to look at a character with that perspective.

Morveya is somewhere between chaotic-good and neutral-good.
