	Lawful Good

	You scored -17% on chaos, higher than 1% of your peers.

	You scored -19% on evil, higher than 10% of your peers.

	You scored 10% on balance, higher than 44% of your peers.

Lawful Good people are holier-than-thou do gooders. I'd like to put it more politely, but that pretty much sums them up. This is the most pompous, and at the same time the most clueless, of all alignments -- in fact gamers often amusingly refer to this alignment as "Lawful Stupid." People of this alignment are blindly idealistic and do not see the world as it is, only as it should be. They are basically good people at heart, but they have very narrow views of what the term "good" implies. For them, law & order is the cornerstone of good. They take a dim view of all criminals, even the ones that commit victimless crimes (they believe that no crime is victimless). Lawful Good people are obedient to authority, never rock the boat, and always color inside the lines. They conform to society's standards and they're upstanding and responsible citizens. Because they are very society-minded, they also tend to be political, although particular affiliation may vary. A patriotic republican standing up for God and his country ... a charitable democrat defending the rights of the underpriviledged ... a moderate trying to bring the most good to the greatest number of citizens ... any of these people might be Lawful Good, because each has a rather one-sided idea of how society should be governed. Different Lawful Good groups are often opponents, because each has different definitions of right and wrong, and each believes their way is the right way. Lawful Good is not a specific philosophy so much as a way of life, a disciplined obedience to whatever group you're a part of and a conscious effort to make others follow the same rules you follow -- whether you're a minister preaching a sermon, a cop arresting criminals, a psychologist treating "personality disorders," or even just a regular working stiff who thinks everyone should pull their own weight. Whatever you are, you have a solid set of morals and you believe in playing by the rules. Your alignment is best described as the concept of "Good" simplified to a soap opera mentality-level for ease of consumption. Lawful Good is the Golden Boy of the alignments. This is the seventh son of fairy tales, the dragon-slaying white knight, the heroic cowboy sheriff that cleans up town, and every two-dimensional cardboard-cutout Hollywood Good Guy ever invented. These people are your protectors, your saviors, your friendly neighborhood superheroes. Unless you deviate from The Norm or dare to question authority in any way, in which case they're your sworn enemies. Lawful Good is the simple everyman that fights for truth, justice, and the American way (or the country of your choice). This is the contemporary champion of the masses, which changes with the changing times to conform to popular opinion. Because such heroes represent society's highest hopes and loftiest ideals, people are willing to pay good money to watch or read about them.

Fictional Examples of LAWFUL GOOD: The Hobbits, the Dwarves, Aragorn, Boromir, Faramir, Samwise, and Bilbo Baggins before Bilbo went on his adventure (Tolkien) ... King Arthur, Lancelot, Galahad, and most of the knights of the Round Table (Arthurian legend) ... Aslan, king of the beasts of Narnia (C.S. Lewis) ... The Lone Ranger ...

2 chaos, -18 evil and 11 balance

Neutral Good people are practical romantics. Which might sound like a contradiction in terms, and maybe it is. They don't care though. They know the world doesn't always make sense, and that you can't put all your faith in cut-&-dried definitions. A Neutral Good person generally takes the moderate position. Both security (order) and liberty (chaos) can be good things, but one isn't necessarily better than another. In some situations the law brings the most benefit, in other cases personal freedom is more desirable. It's all relative. Order and chaos are just theoretical constructs. They are means to an end, not ends in themselves. The greater good is just that : whatever brings the greatest amount of actual good to the world. People get too hung up on definitions. Many people believe "good" has a single concrete meaning, and anyone that disagrees with their interpretation is the bad guy. Good people fight each other over different shades of meaning, never understanding that the other guy is not all that different from them. Neutral Good seeks to avoid this, knowing that a real understanding of the world is only achieved by respecting human life, keeping an open mind, and seeking Truth in all things. In the words of Socrates, "There is only one good -- knowledge. And one evil -- ignorance." Neutral Good is "absolute goodness." It is the purest of the good alignments, the one most concerned with bringing peace, prosperity, and happiness to the world. Being pure good, it understands pure evil better than anyone. Mankind has an almost limitless capacity for self-deception -- in the right circumstances, people will believe anything. Evil individuals or groups will try to cloud your understanding of truth and replace it with their own agenda, until eventually you believe that war is peace or two plus two equals five. Once you can no longer think objectively, they've got you where they want you. Evil's best chance of defeating good is by making people forget that good even exists ... by making them forget they have a choice. The struggle of humanity against oppression and domination can only be won by remembering what humanity actually is. To this end, Neutral Good opposes the manipulation and control of innocent people in any way, striving for an egalitarian Utopia where nobody can take advantage of anyone else. A nice idea in theory, although it'll probably never happen. Just further proof of the unrealistic incompetence that defines the good alignments in general. Unfortunately, the people who would do the most good in positions of power are often the people least capable of achieving power in the first place. And vice-versa.

I was pretty much told that I was the biggest, least liked idiot of the group:

Lawful Good.

[leslissocool]

I actually play AD&D. My husband has all the books, and I have about 4 different very high level characters, one that actually rides a unicorn (Chaotic good virgin fighter with a vorpal weapon). So far, the best role played character by me has been my druid actually (which has to be pure neutral, and also psionics ) it came very naturally for me. I also prefer the spells, when I compare it to my magic user.

Which is no wonder I got pure neutral.

The character I roleplay worse is my high level assassin. I am terrible at it to be honest and way too brutal, creative but too care free. For some reason I now have a bag of holding with severed heads, the grayhawk guild is terrified of me, and have the highest level of experience gathered in only a few months. I was able to slay a red dragon at level 3, so that gave me a lot experience. I am one lucky bastard with my assassin, though I have to constantly keep rolling to make sure my character doesn't go insane with the evil acts it performs.

end nerd hijack.

...

Small wonder that TSR has geared the newer editions of Dungeons and Dragons toward Lawful Good, finally going so far as to eliminate the other two good alignments and make Lawful Good the very pinnacle of goodness, placing it above "mere good" (and completely unbalancing the beautiful symmetry of the original alignment chart). The more TSR simplifies the game for younger audiences, the more dominant the Lawful Good alignment becomes, and the less options a player has to play the other alignments. Which eventually dumbs the game down to nothing more than safe and predictable Hollywood cliches, the kind of stuff that's proven to be publically acceptable. Which of course is where the MONEY is. Think about it.

Your Destination in the Afterlife : HEAVEN

According to Gygax, your soul is going to The Seven Heavens (so named because there are seven of them). Being equally lawful and good, Heaven is the reward for good-hearted people that follow the rules. You can't just be good and get into Heaven -- you also have to be humble, obedient, and totally self-sacrificing in your goodness. Just like a good Christian (or Muslim, or Jew, or whatever ... take your pick), you must be devout and proper in all things to reach the promised land. Although seriously, you really have to wonder if an Afterlife full of people like that would be any fun to begin with. I mean what the fuck ...

In the AD&D universe, the plane of Heaven has seven levels, and lies between Arcadia and Paradise.

Freedom is a shapeless blob without the skeleton of just laws; with them, it becomes a living person, the embodiment of society and human happiness.

Absolute Neutral
7 chaos, 3 evil and 21 balance!


"That that is, is."

-- SHAKESPEARE



N.B : Absolute Neutral is just another way of saying True Neutral -- they're essentially the same. Neutral is Neutral. The only difference is, your score in the balance variable was exceptionally high, so I'm using the term "Absolute" to distinguish it from lesser scores. You can read the True Neutral description under "all possible test results" at the bottom of this page. The description here is similar, except a bit more philosophical.



There are two ways to score True Neutral ...

#1 : By choosing the "neutral" answer at least two-thirds of the time, and therefore scoring a balance of 20 or greater.

#2 : By choosing an equal or almost equal number of lawful, chaotic, good, and evil answers, so that these opposites even out to roughly zero.


Your score indicates way #1, which was the harder way. You answered most of the questions neutrally and objectively, something a lot of people can't do. Rather than choosing a wide variety of answers and averaging somewhere in the middle, you chose the actual "true neutral option" for most of the questions, which places you squarely in the center. You are a solid True Neutral, with a profound understanding of reality and a firm grasp of the universal principles that govern events. You see or at least sense the Big Picture, and realize that things ultimately tend to balance out. Evil is merely the equal and opposite counterbalance for Good, just as Chaos is for Order. Without one, you cannot have the other. Opposites define things and give them relevance. Everything is relative, and part of a larger pattern. Mankind also has his place in the Universe. In the grand scheme of things, mankind is essentially another animal, not so different than the animals that walk on all fours. Unfortunately, mankind believes everything revolves around him and acts according to his own belief system, which has a way of upsetting the natural balance of things ... something a True Neutral person wishes to avoid. The ancient druids, mystic priests of Nature and supposedly the architects of Stonehenge, are an example of the True Neutral philosophy.


True Neutral is the eternal Balance. It is the third way, the edge of the coin. It is the truth between opposing views, the equal and opposite reaction for any action. It is the answer to the riddle and the punchline to the joke. It is timeless cosmic principles and it is an amoeba. It is an animal acting on natural instinct, a regular working stiff looking out for Number One, and a brilliant philosopher speaking of Yin and Yang. It is forces in conflict yet at the same time in harmony, the perpetual ebb and flow of the Universe. It is that that is. It sees the world objectively and it doesn't judge -- it only responds accordingly. Self-preservation is the first law and everyone is responsible for himself. True Neutral does not go out of its way to help (or hurt) anyone. It does what it must to survive and puts itself and its loved ones first, but it doesn't resent other people for doing the same. In fact it expects other people to do the same, because this is only human nature. People love and hate, fight and fuck, work and play, win and lose and die. Life is the world around us, the world we know. People constantly try to make things happen, or stop things from happening, or argue about what should have happened, yet the only thing that actually matters is what does happen. This is Sun Tzu, viewing all the variables of war and making purely objective maneuvers based on mathematical odds ... this is Machiavalli, who knew that risk was unavoidable, and that all one can really do is assess the risks and act objectively, as it is far better to make mistakes of ambition than mistakes of sloth ... this is the person who is in tune with the world, the one who sees things as they really are and who acts accordingly. True Neutral considers everything and ignores nothing. It views the world with an animal simplicity, yet at the same time with a cosmic profundity. It is Aristotle's beast and god, lowest to highest, beginning to end, alpha omega. If some Greater Power guides the Universe -- whether it is an omnipotent architect of intelligent design, or an impersonal mathematical constant -- such a Power would be True Neutral. This is the alignment of The Big Picture, the inscrutable weave of Destiny.



Examples of True Neutral

Animals, plants, minerals, metals, time, space, and the Universe.



Your Destination in the Afterlife : ?

Gygax never actually assigned an Afterlife to the True Neutral alignment. If you look at the chart for the Outer Planes (Heaven, Hell, Olympus, The Abyss, etc) you'll notice that the center of the planar chart, which corresponds to the central alignment of True Neutral, consists of the inner planes (including the world of the living) surrounded by the Astral Plane. And the Astral Plane is nothing more than a medium separating the Afterlife from the world of the living. It is a vast emptiness which souls pass through on their way to their final destination. While the Astral Plane is technically an outer plane, it's not the Afterlife, just a conduit to the Afterlife.

As the True Neutral alignment has no Afterlife destination, you have to wonder if True Neutral souls are simply reincarnated over and over. Remember, at the exact center of the planar chart is the Prime Material Plane, which is the world of the living. Maybe that's the point Gygax was trying to make. Maybe True Neutral beings, humans as well as animals, just keep coming back around again and again, a perpetual balance where life is neither created nor destroyed.

After all, life too is energy.

Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Evil

( Show Spoiler )

To give you a general idea, people of this alignment combination are primarily chaotic and secondarily evil. They are self-driven and egocentric, and refuse to let others define them or limit their actions. Wayward and unpredictable, they do whatever they want, with little or no concern for the rules. Society's laws do not matter because society does not really "exist." There are only individuals, and the weak band together while the strong stand alone. Those that obey authority and unquestioningly follow the herd are mindless sheep, and beneath contempt. These people do not just mistrust The System, they hate it with an unholy passion, and eagerly await the day when it all comes crashing down in flames. The cynical apathy of Chaotic Neutral and the paranoid hatred of Chaotic Evil combine to form a strange amalgam of amusement and rage, a sort of laughing desperation. They are nihilists with a grudge, torn between either believing in nothing but themselves, or believing in nothing at all. For them, life is a joke and death is the only truth. This is the dark side of existentialism, the cosmic horror of being truly alone in an uncaring universe and not knowing whether to laugh or scream. These are the cosmic exiles ... lost on dark winds without purpose or direction, forever seeking true north.

---
I expected something along the lines of Absolute Neutral as in "blue and orange morality" and "cosmical balance", but maybe that is not the AD&D definition, or maybe I am just a little too tired... Then again, I have been re-reading the description for two days now/retook the test with exactly the same result - and it fits. It truly fits. Then again, "dark light" is a functional concept to me too.
