User:ITVdude2000/Character alignments

A character alignment is a categorisation of a character's lawful and moral perspective.

Lawful Good
Lawful Good characters strongly believe in compassion and honour. They will go out of their way to protect others no matter what and will strongly respect the monarchy.

Neutral Good
Neutral Good characters have the compassion of Lawful Good characters without the need of having to protect bureaucracy. They may break a rule occasionally, but it is always for the better. They will not tolerate chaos or selfishness.

Chaotic Good
Chaotic Good characters believe strongly in doing the right thing and caring for others, however, they may disrupt civilisation in order to do so. What they do is for the better, but the law may not always agree with their way of doing so.

It should be noted that Chaotic Good is not another word for Anti-Hero. Lawful and Neutral Good characters may be Anti-Heroes themselves, as most Neutral characters are.

Lawful Neutral
Lawful Neutral characters respect and follow rules and regulations, generally without questioning things. However, unlike Lawful Good characters, they follow a personal code, and are more interested in opposing chaos rather than evil. Because of this, whilst they believe in law, order and traditions, they are generally not heroes.

True Neutral
True Neutral characters do not feel strongly towards anything - either they are looking for a balance or they just don’t care.

Characters who do not have the brain power to develop enough of a personality are usually True Neutral, as are characters who do not have much of a personality to begin with. Characters who keep to themselves and do not get involved in any conflict are also mainly True Neutral.

Chaotic Neutral
Chaotic Neutral characters are free sprits and are generally just in it for themselves. They will usually disobey the rules in order to get what they want. They are just not evil about it, and many of them are sympathetic.

Lawful Evil
Lawful Evil characters follow a strict code of law and tradition, but are more interested in exploiting it rather than following it. They generally don’t care about the rights of others and would easily throw them under the bus to get what they want.

Neutral Evil
Neutral Evil characters are in it for themselves, and are much more selfish than Chaotic Neutral characters. They may make alliances, and might even help the good guys, but only for their on benefit and will often betray them. Whilst they don’t exactly go out of their way to cause harm to others, they would not care if they did either.

Chaotic Evil
Chaotic Evil characters hate the idea of taking orders and have no respect for anything at all aside from themselves. They would easily harm anything that gets in their way and will not let anyone or anything to surpass them.

Please note that Chaotic Evil characters are not always the baddest of the baddies, and not all of them are just evil killing machines.
