This is naturally a comfy-mega-autist board so let's act accordingly.Write about your own real character's' alignment with a personal explanation as to why.discuss
You first, faggot.
>>98313809Ew no way gamechud.
>>98313809Alignments are D&Dogshit cancer and anyone who tries to sum up their character with one is a retard not worth playing with.
>>98313822understood cameradiI'm chaotic good/true neutral/lawful evilI'm most all the time meditative, literally as if I'm meditating all the time, and I have a serious sense of goodwill so I'm chaotic good.And as so I'm true neutral because i don't believe in the egalite of life itself, I find only thing to do in that case is to be neutral, truly.But lacking all braindead society retarded faggots, I'm lawful evil.Acceptable mix?
>>98313809>your own real character's' alignmentYour fictional "character's'" are not real, Anon.
>>98313964literally (you) fren, tell us
D&D alignment is already shitty in fiction, it's worse than useless when applied to real people.
>>98313809>MBTI thread>>/r9k/
>>98314140fucking pleb
>>98313949I'm Lawful Good because I stick to my personal code like glue—honor, loyalty, keeping my word even when it hurts, and I'll go out of my way to help the underdog in real life without expecting shit back. But I'm True Neutral underneath because I see the world for what it is: pure, indifferent chaos where "fairness" is just a cope. I don't believe in cosmic balance or intrinsic worth—nature just is, and I match that energy by staying detached unless it directly touches my circle. And then there's the Chaotic Evil part: when someone manages to truly piss me off, I drop all the masks. I will methodically dismantle everything they care about and genuinely savor the mess, zero remorse, just to watch the fireworks. No hypocrisy, no pretense—just a smiling inner demon let off the leash. Your mix is acceptable as hell, camper.
>>98314195Don't cut yourself on that Edge, kiddo.
>>98314216If I get cut once, I am going to cut you ten times. Just for the lolz.
>>98313809I have a monk who is lawful goodHe tries to live a life according to the law but he's a much better thief than he his a monk, he often does not act lawfully but he is a lawful character none the lessI'm trying very hard for it to come off as temptation as his weakness but the therapy goers in the group keep saying he is a klepto and that it is not really his faultI'm about ready to tell them it is in fact his fault but I'd rather try to convey that with RP but it's going over their heads (or im just bad)
>>98314195shweet danke>>98314264fren wonderful but literally you, ffs. As in your real out-rp sense of self with alignment strata.
>>98313949>I have a serious sense of goodwillJust thinking good things doesn't make you good.
>>98314614nta You esl'd it. All ttrpg characters are real characters. Something like >What is your irl personal alignment? would have worked better. Not having a /v/ op pic too. As is, you're not even going to get an argument about alignment being dumbwrong with this one.
>>98314622I'm a left-hand path /x/phile, I'm against altruism because.. well because it's le right.So instead I tell everyone to only enjoy life and be themselves and not worship power like a cuck.
>>98314628brother I speak 5 languages so I'm multiliteral, gimme a break bruv.b-but but but fren, also, irl is cringe, I say afk so i tried not to be autistic
>>98313809Neutral Good because whatever I do is the right thing to do, and if it isn't, I'll call the victim a sex pest and then it's okay again.
>>98313949>>98314631>>98314643Clearly neutral evil. Huge ego, doesn't actually do anything, tries to corrupt others
>>98313809What alignment is it when you're so addicted to the feeling of righteous indignation that you get stuck in a "am I overreacting? No, I'm underreacting! This is so disgusting that I am actually nowhere near angry enough" so you just keep getting angrier and angrier while growing more and more disgusted by everything around you? Basically a barbadin I guess. Because that's me. Sometimes I just sit at home and get angry at people who don't exist for disgusting opinions they never expressed.
>>98314805Lawful stupid because whatever is bothering you, you posted this instead of addressing it
>>98313809Idk, I'm an alright dude I guess.
>>98314195So you're not lawful good your chaotic evil pretending to be good in order to not get sent to prison
>>98313809Alignment is a retarded mechanic that only exists to cause arguments at the table.
>>98314264They're pretty bad therapy goers, it sounds like. Kleptomancy isn't one's fault, but stealing shit IS. If you have a problem, you have a responsibility to try to minimize its harm on other people. Accommodation is only an expectation within reason. Or maybe they have shit therapists, IDK>>98313809I guess I'm some kind of Good. I don't really do much of anything, but I try to have a positive impact on the people in my life.
>>98314264>I'm trying very hard for it to come off as temptation as his weakness but the therapy goers in the group keep saying he is a klepto and that it is not really his faultThey're probably just saying that because they think you're a retard and would get upset over being told that you are not good or lawful.
>>98314195Cringe as shit.
I typically support strong centralized authority figures like kings and emperors unless they are particularly corrupt or incompetent. Tldr lawful good unless it's Caligula.
>>98313809>be me>arabian elf wizard>chaotic neutral>smooth talker>want to amass a fortune of knowledge and riches saudi style>will do anything to get it>will go out of my way to protect my fortunes>use people to get what I want>save people to milk rewards>be racist>sell snake oil>it's also fun
>>98316504Supporting a strong central figure is not necessarily good, nor is it automatically lawful. Plenty of despots flagrantly disregard tradition, order, and the rule of law.
>alignmentWe use virtues and vices. Or, in the older editions, we use natures and demeanors.
>>98313809>alignmentMy character's morality isn't codified into a list of rules of conduct, there are no actions he's required or restricted from doing. All that matters to him is what he feels is right, in terms of what does the most good for the most people, or causes the least harm to the fewest people, as circumstances allow.
>>98313940Alignment is a perfectly fine system in D&D because it has actual cosmic forces that represent good, evil, law and chaos, and there are magical effects that reflect those forces, so how those effects affect your character matters. In my experience people who object to alignment tend to be post-modernist types who want morality to be relative, so they can morally justify doing bad things.
>>98313809You just reminded me of the THIS TROPER faggot shit from tvtropes. I should give those summary videos a rewatch.
>>98313809Neutral good.I can't fucking stop seeing the faults in the world. Not just the brazenly corrupt and pedophilic politicians out there, or the wars being waged for idealogues and dictators who violate human rights for personal pleasure, and feel joy when those not like them are killed or hurt.But in the little things every day. How socially certain women develop and share phobias of men, how certain men develop and share phobias of women. How we normalize insulting or cutting language to our friends and loved ones instead of sincerity and literal statements of friendship or affection. How we know certain things we do are harmful, to ourselves, others, the environment. But to an extent we just don't have the energy. Both from engineered reasons (nothing schizophrenic, just industries with an interest in maintaining profit over doing good deeds), and in natural, causal reasons of how with all the things we see and do we don't have enough energy to always do good.I credit myself with doing more good than bad. Not because of ego or anything, but because I have always been able to step away from my personal perspective, and see a right thing and a wrong thing, and doing the wrong thing when I could have done the right thing hurts me somewhere deep inside.And I don't mean subjective things like politics or lifestyle choices. But objective things, like talking to a crying person, helping a drunk at a bar, giving food and money to homeless people I pass by, and passing off the surprising depth of wisdom I've picked up on through my life of observations.It's not made me popular exactly. Sometimes it puts people off. Makes me difficult to talk to.I think most people in the world, though they have an inclination to good, are typically neutral in alignment. An equal balance of self-interest (which is where you normally find evil) and interest to others (which is where you normally find good). And that's good. It's healthy. But that's not me.
Everyone one of you faggots itt is neutral stupid. You're all larping as holy avengers but don't do anything.
>>98313809True neutral because its the closest thing to being a soulless fleshbag automatonBecause half my life is just stuck on the same endless cycle. Go to work, get back from work, do a whole lot of nothing when I should be doing something productive, sleep and repeat.Its been like this for ages and I know I have to change but I cant because I fear a break in my endless cycle will just result in me being a completely lost cause with no purpose. At least the cycle gives some purpose even if it is just to work a dead-end job I cant leave because I have no other qualifications or people skills
>>98313809>>98314140> Chaotic Neutral, Human, INTPI believe in freedom, personal responsibility, individualism, titles/diploma suggesting but not proving competence, taxation being slavery and the U.S. constitution limiting the power of the state.My politics don't taint my games that much, although I certainly don't shy away from showing the shadier parts of governments and guilds/megacorps when it is relevant. That said, I also recognize, and portray, that not all politicians/nobles are corrupt and evil to the core.Currently working on a character with a completely different mindset (but no alignment since it isn't D&D). A "benevolent dictator"-believing type, willing to help even when you shoo him away because he knows better.
