[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 7972923, member: 6788736"] Retributive violence can be carried out by vigilante heroes. It's just those heroes have an 'E' in the alignment section of their character sheet. See also: Arya Stark, Frank Castle, Carol from TWD (middle seasons), many Vengeance paladins. Consensual violence is a bit trickier. A morally good person would generally seek to avoid things like duels unless there was no other option reasonably open to them (and would seek a non lethal condition on the duel). Good people try to avoid harming and killing others. A morally neutral person would be ambivalent (as likely to agree as not to agree); neutral people lack the convictions of Good people, and possess enough empathy to avoid harming others. A morally evil person is totally OK with duels but only if they're likely to win. They dont care if people get hurt or killed, or in rare cases actually enjoy it. Eddard Stark would seek to avoid a duel (unless honor bound to engage in one; and he would only do so reluctantly, and if no other option presented itself, and would grant mercy and treat his opponent with respect). He's good. Jamie Lannister is all about duels. He revels in them. If he wins, you die. He's evil. Stannis and Rob Baratheon are ambivalent about duels. If honor compelled them, then they would fight them. They're neutral. [/QUOTE]
