My Dragonborn paladin originally belonged to a terribly literal gnostic sect called the Church of the Dragon Within, which believes every Dragonborn had a piece of the true Dragon God inside them. Each member seeks to 'free the Dragon Within' and reach their personal apotheosis.  (which is to say he worshiped himself)This neat arrangement was complicated first by him coming into the possession of a small, unbreakable box containing an actual god (which he keeps hidden in his codpiece) and second by a false religion based around a feral dire pig sow that he was instrumental in creating, which is rapidly and mysteriously becoming less false, with a 'priesthood' of sorts capable of producing real miracles.So now he's worshiping a holy Trinity composed of a tiny god in a box in his pants, the miracle pig, and himself. Further metaphysical wackiness will likely ensure as all this gets sorted out.As for alignments... he's technically Good, though it's Draconic version of good that values cunning and expediency as much as it does goodness. The alignment of the box god is unknown, though it did help us turn a group of undead once, and the pig is, most likely, Unaligned (those she's depicted as benevolent in the scripture we're writing about her, The Porcine Gospels).</blockquote>
