You know, Rome took over Europe fighting defensive wars....
But you'd never do that. No. You're a good person.. Who radiates evil, and kills anyone who is a percieved threat. Right. It's a Special Kinda good, I take it.
I never claimed she was Good. She's done good things, for good reasons, but she
is a murderous demon who's emotions drive her to do things that are extremes on both sides of the spectrum. However, I can guarantee you she'd never take over Alsatia. She doesn't want power, merely influence.
That sort of good who murders a whole compound of 60 people, including 14 year olds and sleeping women.
Right. That kind of good.
Yes, given that those sleeping women and 14 year olds were part of a force of slavers, 60 strong, who were assisting a smaller group defend themselves, while posessing and torturing 25 or so slave children; some of whom are mo more than 6.
The kind of good who thinks that you need to kill a PC because he'd do Anything, good or Evil, for the BBEG, but then becomes just as fallen for her own companion/wifey, and has admitted she'd destroy souls if asked.
Yes, it sounds hypocritical, and probably is, but it's important to keep in mind the loves in question. Melissa loves her wife with all her soul, and would do
anything Kara asked- but Kara is half angel, and would never allow herself, or Melissa, to do the terrible things Crystal Rose has done. Kara would never use the Well of Souls, Kara would never start an inter-planar war, Kara would neversign a contract with the demonlord Baal'rath, Kara would never make "hydroponic children", Kara would never do any of those things. Crystal Rose did that and more. All in the name of killing someone who loved her. I don't think it's the same at all.
The kind of Good where you think that you have the be the one person in the world who isn't bounded by "Morals", so you can "get things done, that might be dirty", but you think need to be done anyway.
When you can't go to hell for the things you do, and everyone else can and will, it tends to color your perceptions. Melissa wants the good guys to win, but if she dees a more efficient and effective way to get the job done, she wants to do it, even if it means stepping up to and crossing the line just a bit. There
are things that she'd never do.. Unless Kara asked, but that's not a fair comparason because she'd stop being a person for Kara.
It's good to have sliding scales on this sort of thing, aint it? It takes a special sort of good to pull this one off.
A special sort of good like Chaotic Neutral?
