[QUOTE="Henry, post: 2626991, member: 158"] In my opinion, not a bit of problem. Both of the below statements are not in conflict with Malcolm "You're on my crew, or NOT on my crew" Reynolds. [I]People who are neutral with respect to good and evil have compunctions against killing the innocent but lack the commitment to make sacrifices to protect or help others. Neutral people are committed to others by personal relationships.[/I] [I]A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. She doesn’t feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil—after all, she would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, she’s not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way.[/I] He shoots the man because he believes it's doing the most humane thing for the man possible, while not risking himself in the process. As for Jayne, I can easily see him as evil, possibly Neutral Evil. At first, the one thing that keeps him in line is fear of Mal - it's only through the actions of the recent movie that shows he's grown into a person with some feeling of concern on the part of Simon and River, but I think it's more because he feels respect and obligation to both them and Mal, for not killing him no matter his previous actions to sell them out. ***This assumes that one were trying to apply D&D alignments to this rather 3-dimensional lot of characters anyway... :) [/QUOTE]
