Another Weird Silas Question: Alignment Epitome

[Silas North]

We are overdue for another one of my gas-leak-induced rantings.

Everyone knows what the alignments are and most seem to possess a pretty good grasp as to what they mean. While the personality of two people of the same alignment can vary widely, as can their opinion on specific matters, some seem to stand out in our eyes as the 'shining example' of someone of that alignment.

Da' Question: Which pc in all of Sundren's history do you think is the most prominent example of each of the nine alignments: Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, and Chaotic Evil? Give a short explanation, if you can, as to why you chose the one you did.

Bear in mind, this is YOUR opinion. No need to ask something like "In what WAY do they pursue their alignments" or something to that effect. Also, it does not matter if the person you choose truly has that alignment or not. Also, saying someone is the most prominent example of an alignment does not mean they are actually better written characters than others (bear that in mind all you sensitve types lol). It simply means they are the best example you can think of of someone of that alignment.

Since ICly I dont know the alignment of any of the characters on Sundren I will have to decline to preserve the anonimity of those who have a D&D alignment -.-

[Peridan]

For Chaotic Neutral I'd have to nominate Mad Jack Flynn. You never freaking knew what he was going to do next, whether it was help the good guys or decimate the bad ones. A FB down to his very core =P

[Kangleton]

Osclow Wiltenholm: Chaotic Jerk.

More importantly,

Hano Fetten: Lawful Good. He really played a good Paladin, and for those who were close to his RP, you could see that there was a lot of insight and dilemma behind all of his decisions and actions that arrived at his lawful good path. He never said "I do it because I'm a Paladin"; there was always a grander reason.

Lauan Tissle: True Neutral. While those who RP with her in passing are probably doubtful of my claim here, most people don't know what went into that character. Lauan was the ultimate, malleable personality. Originally she was some innocent girl who could have gone in any direction at any time, but was ultimately made a slave. Her actions since are a result of the conditioning of the Red Wizards, which she has no choice but to obey. What she does and says now isn't a result of her own personal feelings or motivations, but a result of who she has been forced into being. Beneath it all, she's the victim.

[Thief Of Navarre]

I agree about Lauan, Ive seen behind the rough exterior and its an interconnected mish-mash of forcefed thoughts.
She has had moments of weakness (call it her humanity coming to the surface) but they are few and far between. She isnt nasty, just different

[Rhifox]

Chaotic Good: Malaclypse Discordia. While Mach will probably deny this and say he was Chaotic Neutral, I still think Mach's personality was the epitome of chaotic, and tended to side on good (regardless of who the good was going towards... Mala did not care if 'good' ended up being the Mossclaw, or even a herd of cows). But regardless of the good/evil scale, Mala was certainly chaotic supreme.

[Machiavelli]

Chaotic Evil: I can't remember the PC's name, though I'm sure someone will helpfully fill it in. He was a half-orc RDD megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur. This guy was convinced he was going to unite the Orcs under his iron fist, conquer Faerun, and kill all elves/humans/etc, and acted as if he'd already done it. He used to go around giving these massive evil rants about his inherent greatness and impending conquest, and administering a punch in the face to anyone foolish enough to disagree or snicker.

Chaotic Good: Malaclypse Discordia. While Mach will probably deny this and say he was Chaotic Neutral...

You're probably in a better position to judge than me. I was never quite sure where to put him, only that it was way out on the chaotic axis and not evil. Erevan is CN(CG), so maybe it was like that.

[Rhifox]

Chaotic Evil: I can't remember the PC's name, though I'm sure someone will helpfully fill it in. He was a half-orc RDD megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur. This guy was convinced he was going to unite the Orcs under his iron fist, conquer Faerun, and kill all elves/humans/etc, and acted as if he'd already done it. He used to go around giving these massive evil rants about his inherent greatness and impending conquest, and administering a punch in the face to anyone foolish enough to disagree or snicker.

The best part is that NO ONE believed him. He'd just hang around campfires all the time spouting his evil rhetoric and people were all just like 'yeah, sure, okay.'.

He did punch me once. That hurt.


Trying to remember his name... wasn't it Hrogrash?

[rustediron]

Hrogrash fror Prez sounds like a familiar line :S

Lawful Good: I didn't really get a chance to RP with Hano that much, so I'd like to nominate Tamryn Jorandur. That bitch managed to scare the crap out of me... the epitome of a lawful good paladin, I felt.

For CG, I'd think that Etria was probably a better example than Malaclypse... I always got the impression that Malaclypse was more of a Chaotic Run-around-the-good/evil-axis-like-a-madman.

[Silas North]

I usually wait about 1-2 days before giving my own answer to my silly question, but what the heck.

Lawful Good: Hano and Andy actually tie for this one. Paladins are the best example I can think of for the true epitome of Lawful Good and these two played the role VERY well. It is worth noting that they are not only some of the only pcs I have ever seen play a paladin 'properly' (imo) but also keep them interesting. Yashia is a close second to the two.

Neutral Good: Annie no question. When it comes to law and order, she seems to consider both the consequence AND the potential result. She's not ambitious to an insane degree, but neither does she overthink things and always strives to do the most good she can. All of these things scream Neutral Good.

Chaotic Good: Sehron, despite having a smart-ass mouth on him always did the right thing without seeming to even CONSIDER the elements of law and order. Etria and Maia are close seconds though. I was pretty sure I'd be choosing an elf or bard (or elven bard lol) for this alignment and I was right.

Lawful Neutral: This was a tough one, but my vote goes to Mirumoto the loyal samurai because... well.. he was a loyal samurai. Stability seemed to make more sense than good or evil to him, though he did hold great respect for things like life and his devotion to Sol seemed absolute, though to this day I still wonder WHY he swore fealty to her.

True Neutral: Fenton and Serena hands down. This one was a no-brainer actually as the two people play some of the ONLY true definitions of characters virtually unswayed by the concepts of law, order, good, or evil. They have very simplistic outlooks that are almost animalistic in nature. Serena wishes to maintain a balance and Fenton wishes to simply stay alive and happy through almost any means necessary. I have to say I am VERY impressed by both rpers, as this alignment seems like perhaps the HARDEST to play right.

Chaotic Neutral: Alyrian's moral compass seemed all OVER the bloody place. He is wild, volatile, and unpredictable. In some ways, his quest is personal and it some ways noble. He seemed (at least in his current state) as though he COULD be somewhat good because despite being messed up in the head, he (at times) TRIES to do the right thing. This puts him close to Chaotic Good, but still make him the best example of Chaotic Neutral I have seen in pcs.

Lawful Evil: Nocte was a freaking devil incarnate (in some senses, literally). His quest for power required insidious acts and Nocte seemed to not even think twice about killing or destroying to get his way, as long as he was certain he would not get caught. He knew the law well enough to abuse it even seemed to LIKE abusing it.

Neutral Evil: Marrs seemed to do whatever it was he could get away with, even if it meant playing partially to a series of regulations. As long as he got what he wanted in the end, the means were justified. This is a typical thief/robber/assassin and a prime example of Neutral Evil.

Chaotic Evil: Mad Jack Flynn definitely. Jack did WHATever he wanted WHENever he wanted. He enjoyed getting in fights and taking what he wanted. He had no qualms with killing and maiming and would do so over just the slightest insult or simply because he was bored. Even whenever he joined the 'good guys', it never seemed for good purposes.

Just recently found this and I had to post!

Lawful Good - Hano Fetten
Lawful Neutral - Peridan.
Lawful Evil - Pyras *Bald red wizard!*
Neutral Good - Annie
True Neutral - Lauan, Cirion, and Elusa! (Very controversial choice!)
Neutral Evil - Eira
Chaotic Good. - (Dm Mach's awesome necromatic Gnome who only wants to put an end to starvation!)
Chaotic Neutral - Alyrian
Chaotic Evil - Logans the fouls!


I will most likely add explanations for my choices later, but as of right now I'm sleepy.

[DM_Equinox]

Lauan is True Stupid.

[Thief Of Navarre]

Isnt there a character on the stats page called 'Lauan is Dumb'?

[Gamling]

There was. Damn you Kangleton.

Lawful good - Peridan the legionnaire is a good example of a lawful good character. Lawful good doesn't mean you have to be loving and caring.

Chaotic neutral - Logan the foul sure as hell does plenty of evil things but his demeanor always struck me as neutral.
