[QUOTE="Loincloth of Armour, post: 3657860, member: 28201"] [b]Harry Potter:[/b] Neutral Good. Always more interested in doing the right thing than anything else. He certainly flaunted the rules when he felt like it, but he was always kind of aware he was breaking the rules, he just justified it as having a more important goal. Easy to debate this as Chaotic Good behaviour though. [b]Ron Weasely:[/b] Chaotic Good. Similar to Harry, but listen to his words, he's often quite flippant to the [i]ideas[/i] behind the rules. (eg: in OotP after he confiscates something from a younger student he says, "Cool. I've always wanted one of these.") While it's true he was afraid of getting caught (and what his Mum would do to him), I see his wisecracks as suggesting a more free spirit than Harry. Also more likely to let his passions get the better of him on smaller things (a Chaotic trait). [b]Hermione Granger:[/b] Lawful Good. Likes order, structure, organization. Makes plans, thinks things through, and generally doesn't like surprises. Totally lawful behaviour. And the fact she cares about the weak and is willing to do something about it (no matter what anybody else thinks!) makes her good. Her willingness to break rules when needed doesn't stop her from being lawful, because once away from the immediate situation, she returns to being a planner, thinker, and organizer. She actually has a quite high wisdom score (she's the common sense of the trio), but could not --for the life of her-- succeed on an opposed Diplomacy check against Harry. [b]Fred and George:[/b] Chaotic Good. Heavy on the Chaotic with a light sprinking of Good. Some of their pranks and devices were down-right dangerous, but they generally experimented on themselves first and didn't desire to cause [b]too[/b] much harm... at least to people who's names weren't Flitch or Umbridge. [b]Precy Weasely:[/b] Lawful Good, pretty close to Lawful Neutral. Heavy on the Lawful, with a small side order of Good. He did care, but ambition did colour his vision. He thought he was doing the right thing, and with Fred and George in the family it's no wonder he bolted. [b]Fudge, Minister for Magic:[/b] Lawful Neutral. Concerned with the status quo and protecting his own turf. He was afraid of Dumbeldore because he knew Dumbeldore could probably force him from office and fear drove his actions, not hate or evil. [b]Lord Voldemort:[/b] Lawful Evil. Had long-term, subtle plans-within-plans. Did not want anarchy, but wanted the proper order of things with himself at the top. [b]The Malfoys:[/b] Neutral Evil. Generally more selfish than anything else, which is what I see Neutral Evil as being an extreme example of. It does seem that nearly every member of the family had a low Wis score.
