I figured out a simple guide to the alignment chart last night
Lawful:Â Rules matter more to me than individuals. Chaotic:Â Individuals matter more to me than rules.
Good:Â Other peopleâs well-being is more important than my own. Evil:Â My own well-being is more important than other peopleâs.
Neutrals:Â My opinion of what is more important is determined on a case-by-case basis.
So a Lawful Good characterâs guiding moral philosophy might be âI follow the rules because the rules keep people safe, even if they are sometimes inconvenient or harmful to me or other individuals.â A Chaotic Evil characterâs guiding moral philosophy would be like âScrew the rules and screw you.â
This is a very succint way of explaining a long post from a few months ago. It is also kind of how it was originally written, and is what I use. No more âIs he chaotic neutral or chaotic evilâ questions.
my favorite is when Kermitâs facial expression is simultaneously an obvious hand in a puppet but also an instantly recognizable and relatable emotion
