[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 7183831, member: 1003"] I use a one-axis alignment system. Lawful-Neutral-Chaotic. These are not shorthand for your personality type, but speak to how you are aligned with the powers of the Cosmos. You're either an agent of the forces of Law, or the forces of Chaos, or you're just a normal person going about their business (Neutral). Most people are Neutral. You can be a right bastard (murdering, thieving, even torturing) and still be Neutral, as long as you're doing it for earthly, material reasons. People "just following orders" from an insane dictator are "Neutral". Being Chaotic means a deeper commitment to destroying the universe as it's intended by Law. Demons, Devils, Undead, and Fey are all Chaotic, although the exact form of the destruction they seek varies. Devils seek to enslave, Demons seek to corrupt, Undead seek to destroy life itself, and Fey seek to destroy free will. Because alignment isn't about personality, there aren't many roleplaying restrictions. "Enforcement" is more about magic; like "This sword will shock anyone who tries to wield it that isn't Chaotic" or "The angelic guardians to door will not let anyone who isn't Lawful enter".
