.::: Law, Neutrality and Chaos :::.
Attitudes towards order and chaos are divided into three opposing beliefs. Picture these beliefs as the three points of a triangle, all pulling away from each other. The three beliefs are Law, Chaos and Neutrality. One of these represents each character's ethos, or ethical beliefs - his understanding of society and relationships.
Chaotic people seek to upset the social order and either institute change, or simply create anarchy. They hold that there is no preordained order or careful balance of forces in the universe.
Instead they see the universe as a collection of things and events, some related to each other and others completely independent.
They tend to hold that individual actions account for the differences in things and the events in one area do not alter the fabric of the universe halfway across the galaxy. Chaotic philosophers believe in the power of the individual over his own destiny and are fond of anarchistic nations.
Being more pragmatic, non-philosophers recognize the function of society in protecting their individual rights. Chaotics can be hard to govern as a group, since they place their own needs and desires above those of society.
.:: Good, Neutrality, and Evil ::.
Like law and order, the second set of attitudes is divided into three parts. These parts describe, more or less, a character's moral outlook; they are his internal guideposts to what is right or wrong.
Good characters are just that. They try to be honest, charitable, and forthright. They generally care about the welfare of others. People are not perfect, however, so few are good all the time. There are always occasional failings and weaknesses. A good person, however, worries about his errors and normally tries to correct any damage done.
Remember, however, that goodness has no absolute values. Although many things are commonly accepted as good (helping those in need, protecting the weak), different cultures impose their own interpretations on what is good and what is evil.
.: Chaotic Good :.
Chaotic good characters are strong indivualists marked by a streak of kindness and benevolence.
They believe in all the virtues of goodness and right, but they have little use for laws and regulations. They have no use for people who "try to lick around and tell what to do." Their actions are guided by their own moral compass which, although good, may not always be in perfect agreement with the rest of society. A brave frontiersman forever moving on as settlers follow in his wake is an example of a chaotic good character.
Following traits are beneficially discreet:
1. Keeps his word to any other good person (unless it conflicts with his plans against neutral or evil characters in which case this would be explained to the good characters unless it may put them in harms way).
2. Lies only to neutral or evil people (see #1).
3. Never attacks or kills an unarmed foe, unless of course they are truly evil and need to be done away with.
4. Never harms an innocent... unless it is unavoidable
5. Never tortures for pleasure. Threats may be permissible... (Under extreme duress torture for information may be permissable).
6. Never kills for pleasure (yet destroying evil seems to pleasure them).
7. Always tries to help others. Friends with any cost of their own.
8. Distrusts authority.
9. Works well in groups, but dislikes confining rules and 'red tape'.
10. Never takes dirty money or items except in extreme circumstances where the acceptance of money or items is a ruse and contributes to the greater good.
11. Never betrays a friend, unless that friend betrays them with bad intent.
