[QUOTE="Mystaros, post: 3659360, member: 3921"] [b]Evil with Law vs. Chaos and the Ministries[/b] Here's an example of how Evil works within the ministries and in regards to muggles, vis a vis Voldemort and the Death Eaters: [B]Lawful Evil[/B]: A Lawful Evil Death Eater, while Voldemort is not active, will advocate anti-Muggle legislation. If it does not win, he will try again. Will not use spells to modify the outcome, unless such use is legal. Might use spells to spy on opponents to get leverage, or to resort to a little blackmail; after all, politics [I]is[/I] politics. While Lord Voldemort is active but generally in hiding, will use Imperius and other such spells to control ministry members. Will torment and abuse muggles given half a chance, but will not kill them out of hand, save when Voldemort is fully in power (as after the coup in [I]Deathly Hallows[/I]). [B]Example[/B]: Lucius Malfoy. [B]Neutral Evil[/B]: No compunctions about using Imperius and other such spells to control members of the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic. Uses power and status to enforce will and get what they want when they cannot do so on their own. Enjoys abusing power in both whenever possible, and will fulfill slightest evil whims when Voldemort is secretly in power or openly in power. Will kill muggles if given half a chance but won't get caught, and will do so happily and openly once Voldemort is in power. [B]Example[/B]: Dolores Umbridge. [B]Chaotic Evil[/B]: Has no regard for any Wizarding world governmental institutions; would love to tear them down, but never could from inside, as rarely would have the patience to do so. If forced to deal with the ministry, usually ends up throwing curses, unless under orders from Voldemort (who would like to himself, but has more experience at subtlety; once firmly in power, he will be the only power). Will kill muggles out of hand, laws be damned. Likes doing so painfully and slowly when given the chance. [B]Example[/B]: Fenrir Greyback. [/QUOTE]
