[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5074115, member: 67338"] how about in that case we find away to make it work... my go to example (and I have even seen it work) is Tyr from andromina... a NE character on a ship full of G aligned characters (mostly CG with the one or two NGs)... he got the job done, he needed them, they needed him... and at the end of the day "I can always trust Tyr to... well be Tyr" or Jane of Firefly "Why didn't you turn on me jane?" "Money wasn't good enough" "It will be one day though?" "Yea that will be an intresting day" "Yea mighty intresting one" or heck as long as one isn't a paliden... just keep the alignment secret in game (not out of game that might cause problems depending ont he group) that is where we compramize so everyone gets to play the character they want without stepping ont to other characters.... but one anti hero with a villian back story can be fun... but again why can't I be weak and you be strong, I start fights well you mend bridges... good I am glad... but at this point it has moved well beyond any one example and into the whole... and on the whole it is the attitude I keep runnign into... infact I have herd people say "Your character Sucks" at LFR games to new players... ok what about I made my str 14 fighter the way I want, can't we just say I am the weakest of us... say the newbie??? and again... gee I am less optimized, infact under par/average... so all it takes is 1 of the other 4 players to see me as there younger brother (or like one) and poof... and the only line needed is "You show potential... one day your gonna be a killer boy..."
