Dig the Chaos Baby!

Recently I took a personality online, and for some reason I can;' stop thinking about it. I got sucked into the crazy Facebook quizzes that keep popping up in the news feed. Apparently everyone I've ever friended on Facebook has very little time to take care of themselves and needs to find out what Twilight character they really are or what their secret fetish is. I myself have tried not taking these quizzes but I when caved and tried one. Apparently the real color of my heart is black and the spaceship Captain I most is Admiral Adama.

The one that for some reason captivates me the most is the one where I find my D&D alignment. Apparently I'm True Neutral, so I make it a point to never take sides. Ever since I took this quiz all I can do now is look at the world in alignments. I see people throughout history and start categorizing them Chaotic Evil or Lawful Good. I did like what it said about neutral people.

You are Neutral. You are Undecided.

Someone who is neutral with respect to law and chaos has a normal respect for authority and feels neither a compulsion to obey nor a compulsion to rebel. She is honest but can be tempted into lying or deceiving others.

People who are neutral with respect to good and evil have compunctions against killing the innocent but lack the commitment to make sacrifices to protect or help others. Neutral people are committed to others by personal relationships.


A neutral person or roleplaying character does what seems to be a good idea. She doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos.

Most neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil -- after all, she would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, she's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way.

Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run.

Neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion.

Having never played the game I only have a basic understanding of how fits into the game. I do like the questions of morality it imposes and the way it shows how people think and see life. The lawful good person who will always by the rules and make sure to what right at all times. He's always seen as being too good but people rely on him since he can trusted. Then there's the chaotic neutral person who totally unpredictable. The free spirit you know who doesn't really have much responsibility but is really fun at parties.

I guess this is just a fad I'm thinking too much about but it really is fun. At least I'm not making this into a big report for a high school class. A blog is a lot less nerdier.
