[QUOTE="Samothdm, post: 357191, member: 5473"] Thanks - it was a lot harder than I first thought it was going to be. I was thinking of it more like in "a". There isn't a lot of real "evil" in the Peanuts world, so I had to take some liberties. For the good-versus-evil axis, I looked at: Good = helping other people/doing things for others Neutral = doing things for yourself and not getting too involved with others' well-being. Evil = Actively promoting the unfair treatment of others. Based on this scale, one could argue that Lucy and Violet (along with a little-seen character named "Patty" who is NOT "Peppermint Patty") would be "evil" since they, above all others in the cartoons, constantly berate and belittle Good Ol' Charlie Brown. As far as the law-versus-chaos aspect, that was a lot harder. I was tempted to put Sally into Chaotic Neutral, but then I remember her quote from the Christmas Special about getting her "fair share". Obviously she knows that there is fairness/justice in the world just as their is unfairness and injustice. She was obviously coming from the "justice angle" (getting what was coming to her, in this case "Tens or Twenties"). Given that her interests were self-motivated (she wanted money for herself because it was "due" her, not because she wanted to use it to help people), I pegged her as Lawful Neutral. Lucy I also thought about making Chaotic Neutral. In the end, I decided to put her as Lawful due to her unflagging determination and regimen in her constant pursuit of Schroeder. I felt that this amount of determination would not be becoming of a Chaotic character, who would most likely flirt with everyone at her whim. There are obviously other males around for her to focus her attentions on, yet she keeps going after Schroeder time and again. Perhaps should would be better as a "True" Neutral. I put Patty as chaotic based upon her actions in the comics and the cartoons which are very inconsistent. She says one thing and means another, and, deep down, I don't really think she even knows [I]what[/I] she means. Her confusion over "the funny looking kid with the big nose" (who everyone can see is really Snoopy the Dog) makes her seem delusional. I figured that Chaotic Good was the best way to describe her. The reason I felt that she was drifting toward neutrality versus good is because, based on my above scale, we don't see her selflessly do things for the other characters as often as some of the others. That's interesting. How come? Glad you enjoyed the post. EDIT: Corrected spelling error. [/QUOTE]
