> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Scylla \* > \*\*I am lawful evil. \*\* Lawful Evil: A lawful evil villain methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct without regards to whom it hurts. He cares about tradition, loyalty, and order, but not about freedom, dignity, or life. he plays by the rules, but without mercy or compassion. hmmm…yep that just about nails ya! lol…Kills without mercy!(helpless animals). Lost the dignity a long time ago(more posts than I can count!) 😉 ---

Most people are not honest. How many people who are claiming to be chaotic actually break laws to get what they want? Being a villain with scruples, and anti-hero is best. What is good and what is evil often changes. Good form remains good form always. ---

I don’t have to take the test. I always come out as neutral good. It’s really sad, you know? ---

Good form remains good form always. \*\* You’ve got a good point Scylla. I think that’s what I meant by this though. **(if I lived in a world where that sort of lifestyle is allowed)** It is the way I try to play RPG’s though. All in all…I’ve broken a few laws to get small things I guess…but, my heart is basically in the right place. I’ve got to many responsibilities now to live in chaos…well, only one…my daughter. Without that though, I’ll never know. -K ---

Oh crap. My post never made it. Here’s what I was going to say: I might as well see what my alignment is, seeing as you told me to earlier this afternoon. (haven’t gotten around to it yet, surprisingly) Definitely should do it before my family gets home from their vacation. Let’s see what I come up as… Hmm. The one that fits me the most seems to be neutral good. F\_X ---

Basically Chaotic Good, with some meandering around Neutral Good and Neutral. ---

Lawful good all the way IRL. When I game, I usually play chaotic good, although it is fun to play evil sometimes. 😉 ---

Neutral good. It’s funny; that’s what I picked for myself, just from reading the description of the alignments. Guess I was right…🙂 ---

Lawful Neutral. With Evil tendencies. Oh god, does that mean i’m turning into a lawyer? 😃 ---

I took the [D&D test](http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20001222b) and came out Lawful Good, as I suspected. No matter how hard I fight it, I’m always Lawful Good… **Scylla** , I’ll see you at the flagpole at 3? ---

The online test said I was Chaotic Neutral. I don’t think any one alignment applies to me, though. In my thoughts, I am probably closest to Neutral Evil. To people I love and/or respect, I am Lawful Good. My actions are often Chaotic Neutral. ---

The test said that I’m plain vanilla neutral. I guess that fits. ---

**Neutral Good** That’s what I always play, anyway, so I guess it works out. ---

**Lawful Evil** Which is interesting because I always thought of myself as Lawful Neutral with Evil tendencies. But I guess times change, old gives way before new, etcetera, etcetera. What is particularly odd is I usually play a Neutral Good character and I _never_ play an evil character. ---

True neutral with occasional, temporary drifts to chaotic neutral. This is how I’ve always seen myself, and I scored Neutral on the test. So there you go. ---
