[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8924174, member: 6701124"] I spliced in some musings of mine from two older posts below. See bottom for comments Anyway, imagine something like... ---- GOOD - Helping others, and avoiding harming others if possible is the most important thing. ("extraplanar good beings") Good - Tries to help others when possible but sometimes knows that sacrifices must be made and may have other goals and purposes ("good") good - Generally dislikes harming others and has an active conscience ("good tendencies") evil - Doesn't particularly mind harming others and does so without hesitation when it serves their purposes but may have a group they look out for ("evil tendencies") Evil - Enjoys harming others and causing pain, looking out for oneself is worth hurting others. ("evil") EVIL - Causing pain, sewing despair, bringing woe, and actively overturning the GOOD are the most important things. ("extraplanar evil beings") --- LAWFUL - Following one's guiding code and working against CHAOS is the most important thing ("extraplanar lawful beings") Lawful -Tries to always follow their guiding principals, but may have other over-riding concerns ("lawful") lawful - Likely follows the rules unless they're standing in the way, but doesn't angst over it ("lawful tendencies") chaotic - Chafes against the rules but doesn't go out of their way to break them just for the sake of doing so (unless they're annoying) or trying to sow randomness ("chaotic tendencies") Chaotic - Flouts the rules and doesn't follow a personal code. ("chaotic") CHAOTIC - Overthrowing the order - both local and universal - is the most important thing. ("extraplanar chaotic beings") ---- Is a lot made easier if only extraplanar beings have the all-capital-letters alignments? Characters might try to be because they want to, but that's a them thing and the extraplanar power sources are all with it enough that nothing else can approach their levels of perfection. It feels like the extraplanar beings couldn't have two of the all caps simultaneously because one has to win out. Are Devils LAWFUL Evil? or Lawful EVIL? It feels like the contract ones need to be the former). Are Demons Chaotic (because they can sometimes follow orders long enough to make an army) but the Far Realms beings are CHAOTIC? [/QUOTE]
