Neutral
Neutral(Chaotic)
Chaotic


Good
A true Lawful Good person obeys the rules to the extent that his own freedom of choice has no meaning, but to him each individual life has value above that of the entire treasury of the kingdom. :miko:
A NG person of Lawful leanings obeys the rules and law, but still has space in his life for choice, while assisting others with no expectation of renumeration. :roy:
Truly NG, this person follows the rules presented to him, but ignores them at times, especially when someone is in need of assistance.
A NG person of Chaotic leanings follows her heart, ignoring laws and rules when convenient. :elan:
A truly Chaotic Good person ignores all laws, breaks tradition, and generally lacks all form of discipline. However, he still has room in his life to help others.:haley:


Neutral(Good)
This person, as the one above, follows all rules and tradition for no reason other than they exist. However, he lacks the dedicated spirit needed to sacrifice for others.:durkon:
A Neutral person with Lawful Good leanings will obey legitimate authority and attempt to help others, though they have a tendency to use evil or chaotic methods to meet these ends.
A True Neutral with Good leanings will assist others when it does not harm himself.
A Neutral person with Chaotic Good leanings will assist others, often ignoring rules and regulations to do it. However, his assistance rarely results in harm to himself.
A Chaotic Neutral person with Good leanings assists others in the moment. They often find it hard to settle down into a routine, due to the lack of commitment required.


Neutral
There is no variance to a truly LN person. The rules are all there are. Help and Harm are fluff, fit only for flavor.
This person, the Neutral with Lawful leanings, often enforces the rules, but will occasionally break them for his own, or another's, benefit.
Often called the uncaring, the True Neutral people of the world have no inclination towards assisting others, but neither is killing their first tool. Rules mean little, as does freedom. :mitd:
The Neutral one with Chaotic leanings is rarely a force to be reckoned with. He regularly ignores the rules, but lacks even the discipline required for true freedom.
The CN person is the voice of freedom, for good and evil mean nothing to him.


Neutral(Evil)
This person, LN with evil leanings, uses the rules and laws to his advantage, even at the harm to others. However, he lacks the dedicated spirit needed to sacrifice others.
Neither lawful or evil, the N with leanings toward both are often sticklers for rules for when it benefits them, but states that they're misinterpreted when used against him.
True neutral people with evil tendencies are the ones who turn to the law for assistance against bandits, but bandits for assistance against law. They often view murder as an acceptable second option :vaarsuvius:
N with some CE tendencies. These people are often content to be left on their own, but others find them dangerous foes. :thog:
CN with a touch of Evil is a dangerous combination. They are as likely to set fire to their allies as to their foes. :belkar:


Evil
The favored alignment of all that are ruthless and cunning, twisting the rules for themselves. They often find themselves in the position required for starting a Tyranny. :redcloak:
These folks live by a set of rules, with only one thing in mind. Death. They will ignore their own rules if the situation demands. :nale:
Destruction and harm are the only things that matter to him, regardless of the path to it. :roach:
Evil to the extreme, this alignment has all the destruction of Evil, with the touch of Chaos required for true terror, but they fall short of harming allies. :sabine:
Yeah, weep for this alignment, the fallen players, those few, proud murderhobos, cleaning the world of it's dungeons, one BBEG at a time. Selfish to the extreme, even other lives are acceptable prices to pay :xykon:

Bringing the alignment discussion over here, from the Giant's comments it's clear that Thog knows what he's doing, is aware it's wrong, and does it anyway to please himself. I'd actually switch Sabrine (who we haven't seen do horrible things on screen, to my knowledge) and Thog (who we have seen do things so absurdly terrible we laugh). I'd also swap Miko and Durkon: Durkon will sacrifice himself if need be (and did: his last request to Malack was begging to spare his friends). Miko... doesn't value independent lives nearly as much as she should.

Ah... But sabine is a devil demon and as such Evil. No question. Also, Cold Iron hurts her and the cake is a lie.

Perhaps I may have missed the Giant's comment in that regard.

There is, explicitly, a Succubus Paladin. Alignment is more than your race, even for outsiders.

You mean Eludecia? That was due to falling in love with an angel.

Sabine is dating Nale. A flip across the Lawful spectrum, but not good.
