Alignment

The Dungeons and Dragons system has an interesting way of helping you decide what kind of character you want to create-the alignment system. Basically there are two axes, the good/evil axis, and the lawful/chaotic axis. Each has three steps. In the case of the good/evil axis there's good, neutral, and evil. With the lawful/chaotic axis you have lawful, neutral, and chaotic. Good and evil are self explanatory, and lawful and chaotic are more about how you follow the rules.

Was tinkering around a while back and made this, for those of you nerdy enough to care (you'll have to click through to read all of the quotes):



I made others, if you'd like to see HAL 9000, Dr. Manhattan, Buffy, or whatever. I'm also open to arguments whether or not the characters I have selected actually match the alignments I have assigned them. I'm at least comfortable stating that the quotes match up, but wonder if the quotes are actually indicative of these characters as a whole. Thanks to Brian for helping put them all together.

I dispute Vader. I think he lies on the Lawful Neutral not Evil, and ironically enough perhaps good. his quote and V's are not that far off.
