[QUOTE="Warden, post: 1651485, member: 11006"] If anything, lawful and netural characters could have MORE angst over exitential laws because their nature make them consider and attempt to understand their surroundings. Lawful characters seek to gain knowledge in order to adapt and gain from it (be they good or evil) while neutral characters look for the empty space in the line to join in and maintain it all. Failure by either side to do so is the greatest cause for this. Chaotic characters, from my translation, really do not care too much and could be some of the most relaxed individuals with regards to the fate of worlds. The universe is what it is, so be it. "It doesn't control me." Chaos is a greater alignment for individuals, so unless it directly involves the person, they may have a tendency not to care. On the flip side, too, they could be even more destructive about it, cursing all life for being there. Possibly a chaos-evil combination, I really haven't worked that out yet. ;) Each of the chapters is this book tackle the different aspects of the alignment system seperately, and remain disassociated with each other in most regards. For example, the trick to writing Good was to seperate it from Evil, which is commonly the general means to determining good behaviour was by abstaining from evil actions. Therefore, if you find topics, discussions, or sentences, that do not balance it off with other alignments, it is quite possible to find a variant theme in another chapter (once the book is published, that is). The goal was to present each alignment's traits and discussions on their own for those only interested in reading on one particular aspect and these topics were taken directly from those chapters.
