In fact, LG doesn't do him justice.  He recognizes that he kind of likes violence and killing, but hates the part of him that does.  Even so, he lets himself be carried away by the act twice, once with the indian and with Almas father.  It has changed the way I'll view LG forever.  What about the fact that he's having an affair with Alma while he's away from his wife (from a sham marriage).  Doesn't sound lawful to me. Another tough one.   Cy Tolliver, Agreed. NE. Though, he does seem to have a lot of real honest affection and tenderness of a sort towards his head Madame.  Another complex character. E.B Farnham. Agreed on both counts! My new model for the ultimate CE schemer. I think you mean Alma.  To me, she's someone who was Neutral, but who has now changed to good. She's been forced by circumstances to change her view because she's become a foster mother.  I say NG, because of the affair with Bullock. I agree with the prostitues, but Wu, a drug dealer and local corpse disposer, seems more LE to me. I always liked the old palladium alignments.  A good-selfish-evil axis with variations of each.  I'll dig them up and summarize if anybody's interested. I'll have to check out Dying Earth.  Can you elaborate a bit?</blockquote>
