I'm a Viscanti. You're a furrikin. Who is tainted now!?

I think we all know how that happened...

Feel free to draw your own conclusions.

I don't know if Iktomi fits into any these categories. We'll call her "Glomdoring Neutral." Nothing matters but Glomdoring, after all. So whatever benefits Glomdoring at the time.

A question out of curiosity: has anyone ever roleplayed an alignment that didn't fit into their org's? For example, a Celestian without regard for innocents, or a Magnagoran who wanted to spread the Taint peacefully? It would be interesting.

There are plenty of characters like that. Celest isn't "good" just because it has angels. (Magnagora is more traditionally "evil", but there are plenty of scholars and stuff there too.)

I am clearly Lawful Good. I am the paragon of justice and innocence.

Edit: On a serious note, Lawful Evil.

That would be Chaotic Evil. You care not about the means, nor the harm it may cause to others. As long as it forwards your goal.

Not at all. It would be Lawful Evil.

Caring about the Glomdoring means following and upholding its laws, too, since they're best for the Glomdoring.

Most of Glom is that way, really.

Yeah, I'm aware that Celest isn't "good" in the purest sense, but they are a lighter shade of grey than Magnagora. I'm sure it's possible to roleplay an overzealous knight templar, but I'd like to see someone can roleplay a character who is good and belongs to an organization which worships demons that advocate anger, pain and deceit. That'd be fun.

Maybe. But that's just from your perspective, and you're often the one writing the laws. How am I to know whether or not she's one of the sort that likes to take matters into her own hands?

I can't really fathom how you could do that from any OOC standard of "good". Viewed objectively, the Taint is pretty clearly a bad thing.

Mostly because that's usually frowned upon in a law-centric society.

....aaand? That's why it's chaotic

Law started out as Lawful-Good, went over to Neutral/Chaotic-Good a while back, getting back to Lawful again.

That's honestly kind of how Ongaku is. He doesn't go out of his way to harm anyone, he's very family-oriented, he just believes in the Taint.

Oh, and my other characters. Lucan and Xaakin are probably both true neutral, though Lucan may swing more towards the neutral evil side (despite being Celestian).

EDIT: I take part of that back. Xaakin is more Lawful-Neutral, and Lucan teeters somewhere between True Neutral and Lawful Evil. It's a very very fine line with him.

There's nothing in Magnagora's ideologies that is against passive spreading of the Taint.

It is, however, against the core tenants of the Light to be careless with the lives of the innocent (it is a heavy belief of Raziela and Shakiniel). To say though that they are zealous (or a narrower view of innocence), is absolutely possible (and is done with varying levels of regularity).

Syridean is Neutral Good, though being Celestian he leans lawful, even if he occasionally wants to rewrite them.

Tyrni is Lawful Evil. He not only doesn't mind killing anyone, he relishes looking into the eye(s) of his victims as they bleed out.

Aerotan is Neutral Good with a slight chaotic bend. He genuinely wants to do good, but hates falling under rules and expectations.

Lesk I'm not sure about. He was Neutral Evil. If he had to follow the rules to get what he wanted, he did, but he also had no qualms about going off on his own. He's also a psychopath, though, which is hard to pull off for too long.

Whoever correctly guesses Elo's alignment gets a cookie. (And appropriate argumentation is necessary, of course).

Chaotic Evil.

We all know you're a sadistic psychopath underneath.
