[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 1115880, member: 2067"] I'd actually defend the Hedon as CG. He feels that the purest good is a [I]Carpe Diem[/I] kind of philosophy, and that acting on natural instincts is the way for the entire world to be happy. Evil results from denying these instincts, or thinking of them as evil, or of rare insane individuals whose natural instincts are perversoins -- and of course, these insane people are the victims of societies and structures that snap their minds into that perverted state. To live life with joy is to succumb to your inner wild nature, to indulge your wild side, and not to deny it. But to celebrate it. The maidens wouldn't run away if they weren't so uptight, after all...;) He is very strongly Chaotic...but he feels that this Chaos is what makes happiness and enjoyment for all, so he wishes to bring it to as many people as possible. It's not just that he is a free spirit, he is an active rebel against inhibitions that cause pain and suffering. If everyone would just respond to the music that moved them, there would be paradise for all. And that is why he rebels against the 'stodgy' establishment. He could easily have a CN or CE bend to him, especially if you're running a predominantly LG setting (or even NG could be wierded out bythe guy), but usually he leads to the benevolent end of the spectrum....benevolent doesn't have to mean safe, though. ;) [/QUOTE]
