chaotic evil.

 

[Luminous]

Chaotic Neutral

 

[Lark]

I'm still thinking through what the greater struggle is good vs evil or order vs chaos.

The modern thinking on alignment that order is always good and chaos always evil or order intrinsically good or chaos intrinsically bad seems mistaken to me.

Nazis, Communists, other totalitarians have their own idea of benefice, capitalists kind of do too even, while socialists, libertarians, anarchists, even pacifists have their own versions of malifice, it could be indirect or by omission, its still malifice.

Sometimes I think that chaotic good is "temporary" good, like the difference between the chaotic and order/lawful settlements, ie caravans versus castles. Same for chaotic evil.

Chaos and order are actually much more measurable categories than evil and good. Also no one really considers itself as evil while with order and chaos it isn't so black and white.

Something to think about.

I consider myself Neutral Good.

 

[Tina&Jane]

I got neutral on this test. I'm not that familiar with D&D, are there alignments that are considered better than others or more fun to play?

 

[miss deceit]

Chaotic Evil.

Absolute edgelord here.

I've taken the test around 15 times and exclusively get chaotic neutral/evil as my results.

I think my alignment varies by day which would put me somewhere more chaotic. I can see myself anywhere within the chaotic good, chaotic neutral, and true neutral. On the 5x5 I would call myself rebel neutral.

I have had some people type me as lawful neutral/evil and I think that's very wrong. I disregard society's rules but am pretty dedicated to my own.

 

[RadicalDoubt]

Got chaotic good on this test, last time I got neutral.

I think myself somewhere between neutral good and lawful neutral generally.

I still test the same, but I believe I'm actually chaotic good on the 3x3. I think that's the best way to describe that last sentence in the above post.

People say that, a lot, but I think they know good and evil when they encounter it.

Its one of those things which is confused a lot by discussion, abstraction etc. although in practice most people definitely know good and evil, it takes an awful lot of rationalization to ignore or excuse evils, I'm not even talking about anything complex like short selling or speculation but pretty basic wickedness requires it.

It just depends on what you want to play as, some people like to pick a single alignment and stick with it while others decide they would like to try as many different types as they can.

Its classic make believe if you ask me and that's where the fun comes from.

See in terms of the amount of people getting alignment results that are neutral or chaotic, do you ever think this is a reflection of ambivalence about fixed ideas? I think people prefer vagaries and ambivalence these days, for a variety of reasons they dont want to "nail their colours to the mast" when it comes to value statements or judgements.

A lot of people cant or wont do values at all. I think that's sort of an impossibility, personally, but I definitely see that ambivalence.

Sometimes I see people swing between the extreme of no values to some pretty absolutist positions too (or back again) as they get aggravated with either perspective.

 

[Kanra Jest]

I always get either True Neutral or Chaotic Neutral. I would say in general life I'm pretty true neutral, as I can be lawful or chaotic based on self convenience, but when it comes to anything else my Chaotic side comes out and I'm very very chaotic neutral when I let myself let it out. As for values, I don't have a clear internal set of values naturally, But I try to hold to some sense of honor (fairness, respect), while at the same time being very logical and flexible in any other way. Should see me when I'm playing videogames lol. I'm very chaotic neutral and unpredictable then cuz I find it far more entertaining that way. Even though I don't have the heart to be puppy kicking evil even in videogames, I still often make sassy or crazy choices most wouldn't make cuz I like shaking up the status quo.

Lawful Neutral

A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs her. Order and organization are paramount to her. She may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or she may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. The common phrase for lawful neutral is "true lawful." Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot.

Your Character’s Alignment

Neutral Good

A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. The common phrase for neutral good is "true good." Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias toward or against order.

[Pessimistic Hippie]

It's funny; when I was younger and took this, I always got one of the Goods. But in the past few years I've consistently gotten True Neutral, and every now and then Lawful Neutral.

The description for True Neutral is pretty damn accurate for me. I think it's like, I would like to go out of my way to do good more often than I do. But the effort that takes seems mentally and physically exhausting so I'd rather just serve myself the majority of the time xDD
