Alignment is a general descriptor of personality and tendencies. On Valenth, this value is determined on a sliding scale between Law and Chaos with many shades in between.
Good and Evil are in the eye of the beholder--and even the most virtuous of beings can seem twisted through the eyes of another.
Sliding scale of alignments[]
Pure Law
Absolutely dedicated to upholding moral right regardless of situation or consequence.
Emotions such as mercy and anger are irrelevant; Law is Law, and comes before all else.
Imperfect Law
Law Dominant, Neutrality Recessive
Largely compelled to hold to society's moral guidelines when possible.
Mistakes and misjudgements happen--and sometimes, things may be let slip due to conflicting emotions.
Noble
Neutrality Dominant, Law Recessive
Calm, rational, and genuinely interested in the well-being of others. Personal flaws are insignificant; everyone deserves care and assistance.
Neutral/Adaptable
Pure Neutrality
Acts based on the given situation.
Consideration of circumstance and possibility leads to decision.
Quirky
Neutrality Dominant, Chaos Recessive
Relatively stable, but impulsive or flighty on occasion.
Prone to spontaneity to a minor degree.
Unstable
Chaos Dominant, Neutrality Recessive
Impulsive and unpredictable to a degree; what matters today may mean little or nothing tomorrow.
Functional when settled, but potentially dangerous in stressful circumstances.
Anarchic
Pure Chaos
Impossible to read; alliances and friendships are opportunistic and short-lived, if even acknowledged.
