This is the standing on one foot personality description of my latest PC cleric--a NN cleric of Fharlangn. I've always seen neutrality as the foil to the other alignments: Good should compare itself to not-Good (=! Evil) and Chaotic should compare itself to not-Chaotic (=! Lawful). Maybe folks will achieve understanding if they can situate their characters relative to this foil:Background for Hab (the Wanderer)    Hab has no ancestry to speak of—no family, no clan, and increasingly, not even a town. This he views as a strength, though, rather than as a weakness. Hab builds his heritage daily—his two feet take him where he is want to go. His voice and demeanor bring him new people whose company he can enjoy regardless of class, race, or station. His gifts, provided by He Who Protects All Travelers, earn him friends. His commitment not to judge spares him from all but a few enemies.     Interacting with others, Hab is friendly towards strangers, whose generosity he often relies on when abroad. He is loyal to his friends and always seems to remember a face—building relationships which endure, despite his wanderings. Hab is as willing to help a stranger in a pinch as an old comrade, which is to say he does what he can, when he can.     Hab believes firmly in the responsibility and power of the individual. Every man has a road to walk and no nation, church, or family can spare a man the journey. He respects strong leaders and those who act to bring out the strengths of their followers. He has little patience for sheep, and for those who would keep sheep. That being said, in his travels he has seen many ways of living. Not all he has agreed with, but he is no crusader, looking to bring change to those who would not chose to change on their own. As a healer, his way is to first do no harm. Improving men, making their lives better by strengthening their ability to make their own choices and shape their own destiny, is as natural as healing and growth. Both, however, take time.</blockquote>
