What's your alignment? and why?

If the real world were like Dungeons and Dragons, everyone would have an alignment demonstrating their personal beliefs and morals.

What would your's be?


Lawful Good

Characters of this alignment believe that an orderly, strong society with a well-organized government can work to make life better for the majority of the people. To ensure the quality of life, laws must be created and obeyed. When people respect the laws and try to help one another, society as a whole prospers. Therefore, Lawful Good characters strive for those things that will bring the greatest benefit to the most people and cause the least harm. An honest and hard-working farmer, a kindly and wise king, or a stern but forthright minister of justice are all examples of Lawful Good people.

Lawful Neutral

Order and organization are of paramount importance. They believe in a strong, well-ordered government, whether that government is a tyranny or benevolent democracy. The benefits of organization and regimentation outweigh any moral questions raised by their actions. An inquisitor determined to ferret out traitors at any cost or a soldier who never questions his orders are examples of Lawful Neutral behavior.

Lawful Evil

These characters believe in using society and its laws to benefit themselves. Structure and organization elevate those who deserve to rule as well as provide a clearly defined hierarchy between master and servant. To this end, Lawful Evil characters support laws and societies that protect their own concerns. If someone is hurt or suffers because of a law that benefits Lawful Evil characters, too bad. Lawful Evil characters obey laws out of fear of punishment. Because they may be forced to honor an unfavorable contract or oath they have made, Lawful Evil characters are usually very careful about giving their word. Once given, they break their word only if their can find a way to do it legally, within the laws of the society. An iron-fisted tyrant and a devious, greedy merchant are examples of Lawful Evil beings.

Neutral Good

These characters believe that a balance of forces is important, but that the concerns of law and chaos do not moderate the need for good. Since the universe is vast and contains many creatures striving for different goals, a determined pursuit of good will not upset the balance; it may even maintain it. If fostering good means supporting organized society, then that is what must be done. If good can only come about through the overthrow of existing social order, so be it. Social structure itself has no innate value to them. A baron who violates the orders of his king to destroy something he sees as evil is an example of a Neutral Good character.

True Neutral

True Neutral characters believe in the ultimate balance of forces, and they refuse to see actions as good or evil. Since the majority of people in the world make judgements, True Neutral characters are extremely rare. True Neutrals do their best to avoid siding with the forces of either good or evil, law or chaos. It is their duty to see that all of these forces remain in balanced contention. True Neutral characters sometimes find themselves forced into rather peculiar alliances. To a great extent, they are compelled to side with the underdog in any given situation, sometimes even changing sides, as the previous loser becomes the winner. A True Neutral druid might join the local barony to put down a tribe of evil gnolls, only to drop out or switch sides when the gnolls were brought to the brink of destruction. He would seek to prevent either side from becoming too powerful. Clearly, there are very few True Neutral characters in the world.

Neutral Evil

Neutral Evil characters are primarily concerned with themselves and their own advancement. They have no particular objection to working with others or, for that matter, doing it on their own. Their only interest is in getting ahead. If there is a quick and easy way to gain a profit, whether it is legal, questionable, or obviously illegal, they take advantage of it. Although Neutral Evil characters do not have the "every man for himself" attitude of chaotic characters, they have no qualms about betraying their friends and companions for personal gain. They typically base their allegiance on power and money, which makes them quite receptive to bribes. An unscrupulous mercenary, a common thief, and a double-crossing informer who betrays people to the authorities to protect and advance himself are typical examples of Neutral Evil characters.

Chaotic Good

Chaotic Good characters are strong individualists marked by a streak of kindness and benevolence. They believe in all the virtues of goodness and right, but they have little use for laws and regulations. They have no use for people who "try to push others around and tell them what to do". Their actions are guided by their own moral compass which, although good, may not always be in perfect agreement with the rest of society. A brave frontiersman forever moving on as settlers follow in his wake is an example of a Chaotic Good character.

Chaotic Neutral

Chaotic Neutral characters believe that there is no order to anything, including their own actions. With this as a guiding principle, they tend to follow whatever whim strikes them at the moment. Good and evil are irrelevant when making a decision. Chaotic Neutral characters are extremely difficult to deal with. Such characters have been known to cheerfully and for no apparent reason purposely gamble away everything they have on the roll of a single die. They are almost totally unreliable. In fact, the only reliable thing about them is that they cannot be relied upon! This alignment is perhaps the most difficult to play. Lunatics and madmen tend toward Chaotic Neutral behavior.

Chaotic Evil

These characters are the bane of all that is good and organized. Chaotic Evil characters are motivated by the desire for personal gain and pleasure. They see absolutely nothing wrong with taking whatever they want by whatever mean possible. Laws and governments are the tools of weaklings unable to fend for themselves. The strong have the right to take whatever they want, and the weak are there to be exploited. When Chaotic Evil characters band together, they are not motivated by a desire to cooperate, but rather to oppose powerful enemies. Such a group can be held together only by a strong leader capable of bullying his underlings into obedience. Since leadership is based on raw power, a leader is likely to be replaced at the first sign of weakness by anyone who can take his position away from him by any method. Bloodthirsty buccaneers and monsters of low intelligence are fine examples of Chaotic Evil personalities.

 

I am lawful good, and obey the laws religiously. I think that everyone one should be able to work within the system, or should petition to change the system to make it work.

 

Chaotic Good... That's me! The only bad thing about me is my bad manners... Oh, and that I kind of like Notharah...
_

 

Yup, that's bad... have to agree with you on that one. :wink: :wink: :wink:

I'm bad, just don't know which one... fill in: PURE EVIL

 

If the real world would be like D&D I would be crazy or if I was lucky maybe dead. Living in the best way to mess up a RPG uke:

So probably Chaotic Neutral I guess

 

Chaotic Neutral. nothing is so fun as the unexpected.

 

Say rosie... why haven't you put that signature picture on DoA????

 

Lawful Good.

With the exception of America - the laws there can fringe on the rediculous and it's WAAAAY too legistrative over there. (Prime example is the product liability clause!).

 

Chaotic Evil. It's just so simple. I ahte laws, I hate police and authority. I rebel. I'm concerned with no one but myself. And I'm power hungry. Yes, that sums it up nicely.

Noth:A.Rosie has her reasons, leave people alone for once. Especially me. It annoys me when you ask too many questions.
B.Pure evil is not in the category. Please look again.

 

Chaotic Neutral
Lunatics and madmen tend toward Chaotic Neutral behavior...yep sounds like me.

 

Vyaas:

a. you're a retard
b. i can stick up for myself, thank you
c. you're a retard
d. your opinion doesn't count
e. you're a retard

did i miss anything?

 

You answer everyone of them and ask me back... so don't sweat it dude.
And I know pure evil isn't one of them... it's just a remark.

And hating authority is just a period in your life... you'll get over it.

 

Actually its a prime example of you not knowing what you are talking about.

 

hahaha LOL: threedogs

 

uh-oh. 3dogs is on the attack...

 

Run for cover I suppose??? :lol: 8) :lol:

 

Are you trying to tell me that America is not overly Legistrative??? Or are you trying to say that the product liability clause is not stupidly overused for stupid reasons.

Examples:

Cessna almost going bust because a trainee pilot sued them because they did not put 'do not land tail-first at high speed on steep and lumpy terrain' in the aircraft manual. Duh?!

A woman suing a 'fridge company because she couldn't be bothered to use her step ladder in the next room to dust the corners of her ceiling so she opened her fridge door and waled out along the top edge. She fell and split herself open rather badly. The reason was that the company hadn't put 'do not walk along top of fridge door' on the fridge.

A man lent a metal ladder against high voltage power lines and fried himself. His family sued the ladder company for not putting 'do not place against high voltage power cables' on the ladder.

You get the drift....

 

I'm retarded? Really Rosie, start making sense. The fact that you think me intellectually inferior to yourself is simply slanderous. Please, refrain from calling me mentally defective, if anything, you seem to be the mentally defective one.

Still, you have a nice Pussy. And no, this will not die.

 

Tsk Tsk. Play nice...

 

Hehe .. what makes you so smart Vyaas ?
According to reasons 1 , 3 , 5 , she thinks you'r a ..*gasp* ..retard !


Chaotic Good . The ONLY way to go 8)
