[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9739171, member: 6906980"] One way of describing a person's personality is to discuss their "frameworks", basically how they interpret the world around them. Two people can look at the exact same situation and view it totally differently, one may look at a guard hitting a citizen as enforcing proper respect for authority (LN) and another may look at it as an abuse of power and step in to stop it (CG). A third may look at it with no concern for the citizen and think about if they can use the distraction to their benefit (N). Someone politically conservative is frequently going to view a situation very differently than someone who is politically liberal. But those political leanings and perspectives on the world are only one part of who that person is. So how I envision alignment working is that while it doesn't control how a person responds it colors how someone sees the world which changes how they will go about achieving their goals. On the other hand I don't care what my player's alignments are other than that I don't want to run a game for evil characters. [/QUOTE]
