Message: <blockquote data-quote="w_earle_wheeler" data-source="post: 5732913" data-attributes="member: 35955">For the most part, Conan doesn't have to "force" women... he is a fictional super character who has the kind of Charisma that leads women to force their attention upon him.However, when a woman he finds interesting is able to push him away (usually because they find him to be too intense or savage) that is usually when he will pursue them and attempt to garner their favor. Think of King Kong in the Peter Jackson re-make. Kong uses human women as his plaything until one stands up to him. At first, he throws a tantrum, but then he attempts to prove himself to her (also, he stands "butt first" to her in an attempt to demonstrate that, as an alpha, he really doesn't care if she lives or dies).It is the same Conan Charisma that holds together his raiding parties... if I recall correctly, he generally usurps pirates/mercenaries/bandits from their brutal leaders. After that, Conan must placate his teams with profit, and while they still behave like bandits, it is only the force of his Charisma which holds them together when they are not allowed to behave like complete psychopaths all the time. Eventually, Conan is usually turned on and has to move on.Conan is, in a way, a Lawful character... but the Law he follows is the "ideal" law of men. His "superior" feelings of what is right and what is wrong make him an outsider even in his homeland.Conan belongs to a REH ideal that a true man will always make the straightest course to the most interesting means of personal (or financial) advancement. He will not live his life in fear and he will not live his life with regret over past actions, though he will learn from failures and moral mistakes.As pointed out above, Chaotic Neutral -- total personal focus without malicious intent toward others BUT with little regard for their perceived weakness; and later, Chaotic Good, in that he is driven by the right for all people to be as free as possible.</blockquote>
