Due to an utter amount of confusion as to which side the characters are one, I will take it upon myself to create a somewhat brief analysis of Alignment.
Good Side: "For the betterment of all of the world"
Lawful Good: Lawful good is known as the "Saintly" or "Crusader" alignment. A lawful
good character typically acts with compassion, and always with honor
and a sense of duty. A lawful good nation would consist of a
well-organized government that works for the benefit of its citizens.
Neutral Good: Neutral good is known as the "Benefactor" alignment. A neutral good
character is guided by his conscience and typically acts
altruistically, without regard for or against Lawful precepts such as
rules or tradition. A neutral good character may cooperate with lawful
officials but does not feel beholden to them. A doctor that treats
soldiers from both sides in a war would be considered neutral good.
Chaotic Good: Chaotic good is known as the "Beatific," "Rebel," or "Cynic" alignment.
A chaotic good character favors change for a greater good, disdains
bureaucratic organizations that get in the way of social improvement,
and places a high value on personal freedom, not only for oneself, but
for others as well.
Neutral: "Sometimes, the middle path is the right one"
Lawful Neutral: Lawful neutral is called the "Judge" or "Disciplined" alignment. A
lawful neutral character typically believes strongly in Lawful concepts
such as honor, order, rules and tradition, and often follows a personal
code. A lawful neutral society would typically enforce strict laws to
maintain social order, and place a high value on traditions and
historical precedent. Examples of lawful neutral characters might
include a soldier who always follows orders, a judge or enforcer that
adheres mercilessly to the word of the law, a disciplined monk, or a
cowardly commoner.
Neutral: Neutral alignment, also referred to as True Neutral or Neutral Neutral,
is called the "Undecided" or "Nature's" alignment. This alignment
represents neutral on both axes, and tends not to feel strongly towards
any alignment. A farmer whose primary overriding concern is to feed his
family is of this alignment. Most animals, lacking the capacity for
moral judgement, are of this alignment. Many thieves and rogues, who
play all sides to suit themselves, are also of this alignment.
Chaotic Neutral: Chaotic neutral is called the "Anarchist" or "Free Spirit" alignment. A
character of this alignment is an individualist who follows his or her
own heart, and generally shirks rules and traditions. They typically
act out of self-interest, but do not specifically enjoy seeing others
suffer. Many free-spirited adventurers are of this alignment.
Alternatively there are madmen whose actions are chaotic, but are not
themselves inclined towards evil.
Evil: "The world must burn, and I will be the flame..."
Lawful Evil: Lawful evil is referred to as the "Dominator" or "Diabolic" alignment.
Characters of this alignment show a combination of desirable and
undesirable traits: while they typically obey their superiors and keep
their word (trustworthy), they care nothing for the rights and freedoms
of other individuals. Examples of this alignment include tyrants,
devils, honorable but undiscriminating mercenary types, and soldiers
who follow the chain of command but enjoy killing for its own sake.
Neutral Evil: Neutral evil is called the "Malefactor" alignment. Characters of this
alignment are typically selfish and have no qualms about turning on
their allies-of-the-moment. They have no compunctions about harming
others to get what they want, but neither will they go out of their way
to cause carnage or mayhem when they see no direct benefit to it. They
abide by laws for only as long as it is convenient to them. An example
would be an assassin, who has little regard for formal laws but does
not needlessly kill. A villain of this alignment can be more dangerous
than either lawful or chaotic evil characters, since he is neither
bound by any sort of honor or tradition nor disorganized and
pointlessly violent.
Chaotic Evil: Chaotic evil is referred to as the "Destroyer" or "Demonic" alignment.
Characters of this alignment tend to have little respect for rules,
other peoples' lives, or anything but their own selfish desires. They
typically only behave themselves out of fear of punishment. They will
sometimes even act maliciously for the sole purpose of watching another
suffer. Serial killers and monsters of limited intelligence are
typically Chaotic Evil.
