[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 1542302, member: 177"] Well, first off, actions dictate alignment. In the long run, what you declare at the start isn't relevant. He will eventually be classified by what he does. So, more's the question - wwhat alignment will the DM think this character woudl be? Be that as it may... This character has a particular goal,but he sticks to no particular methodology. He is dedicated to an end, but not to any particular means. He sticks to no particular code of rules himself, nor does he care overly much about the rules of others. Organization, on the whole, is not a selling point for him. He's not lawful. He is willing and able to toss aside any system of rules in order to achieve his goal. He does not worry overmuch about the disruption he causes, so long as he reaches his goal. He does not really demand personal freedom, but he will exercise it if that's easiest. He's probably neutral, possibly Chaotic. This character is willing to lie, cheat, steal, and drown puppies. While he expects that the overall goal is good, he's willing to comit at least minor harms in order to reach that goal. I'm not so sure he's necessarily Good. He may well be neutral. If he's really willing to run roughshod over others in order to reach his goal, he might well be evil. [/QUOTE]
