Alignment of your favourite non-D&D fictional character.

[Tyler Do'Urden]

Wheel of Time alignments

There are no alignments in WoT... But I'd agree, Mat Cauthon is a CG...
Others in WoT:
Rand: Hard to say. I'd say a True neutral rapidly oscillating between chaotic and lawful tendencies.
Moiraine: LN with G tendencies
Lan: Definitely a LG... I'd say he's the closest character WoT has to the Paladin ideal.
Egwene: NG
Nynaeve: NG (Chaotic tendencies)
Elayne: LG
Aviendha : N (Good tendencies)
Perrin: CG, Neutral Good tendencies
Mazrim: LN, possibly LE (we don't really know yet)
Padan: NE, all the way
Logain: Definite CN, possibly CE
Most of the Aes Sedai are different shades of Lawful Good and Lawful Neutral... all of the Forsaken are undoubtably evil, but I'd say that Asmodean has tendencies towards True Neutrality. The Seanchan are a prime example of a Lawful Neutral society, and the Children of the Light are arguably Lawful Neutral passing into Lawful Evil.

I have to disagree. Every damn woman in that series, with the exceptions of Aviendha and Min are definitely chatoic evil!

Hey, Edena, gotta dissagree with you on Covenant. Given his inability to cope with change, and his rigid, fanatical adherence to the "laws of leprosy", I couldn't see him as a chaotic character.

As to Mr Thermopyle: yeah, he was probably Chaotic Evil (I did indicate very strong evil tendencies). He is a very complex character. It's been a while since I've read the series, but I got the impression that, while he has done a lot of evil things, they tended to be instinctual actions without thought of the consequences. Maybe it was just that I found such a pitable and pathetic character hard to consider truly evil. With some more thought, though, I guess I was probably wrong.

I do disagree with the poster who had him finish at Chaotic Good. He never really ceased to place his own welfare above that of others, and although perhaps he couldn't bring himself to hurt his son and his mother any more, I got the impression he would still take out anyone else who threatened him, without pause or consideration for whether or not they deserved it. At best, his mentality was live and let live, but if you get in my way then watch out.

Edit: Another disagreement, Edena. Admitedly, my knowledge of Berserkers is limited to Berserker Base, but I would have placed them at absolute True Neutral. I can understand how organics would consider their actions evil, but from an objective viewpoint, they remain effectively mindless creatures who do what they are programmed to do. While they are in many ways true AIs, their inability to question their programming, and ask of themselves whether or not their tasks are morally or ethically right removes them from any responsibility for the destruction they cause.

Edit 2: Still on berserkers. I could possibly live with Lawful Neutral. If you had to give them an evil disposition, then I would say Lawful Evil.

My take on some Lodoss characters

Note:This is during the period of time that Spark and his team were adventuring, and Vagnard trying to capture Little Neese to raise Kardis.

Parn:Chaotic Good
Deedlit: Neutral Good
Cecil:Neutral Good
Shiris:Chaotic Good
Kashue:Lawful Good
Ashram:Chaotic Neutral(Evil until shooting star's death)
Pirotess:Chaotic Neutral(Evil until shooting star's death)
Vagnard:Neutral Evil
Kardis:Chaotic Evil
Leaf:Chaotic Good
Garrack:Chaotic Good(Though he won't admit it)
Spark:Lawful Good(
Slain:Lawful Good
Karla:Neutral Good(She did evil deeds, yes, but she believed Lodoss would be torn apart without neutrality, and acted to protect Lodoss. Commited to Neutrality, but good)
Leylia:Neutral Good

And now for some digimon adventure characters
Leomon:Lawful Good
Wizarmon:Chaotic Neutral, then Chaotic good
Tailmon:Chaotic Evil, then Chaotic Good
Devimon, Vamdemon, Piemon, Pinnochimon:Chaotic Evil
Metal Seadramon:Lawful Evil
Mugendramon:True Neutral(I believe he lacks the brain capacity to have any other alignment)
Ogremon:Neutral Evil, Then Chaotic Neutral
Otamamon and Gekomon:Lawful Neutral
All chosen children:Neutral good(Yamato was NE when tricked by Cherrymon, and the Kaizer was clearly chaotic evil, but did not stay that way)

I always saw Crysania as LG, maybe NG, and Raistlin ended CN in my view.

Hmm. That could be a little harsh. Maybe just Chaotic Stupid (and the guys aren't really much better. Neutral Stupid for them.
