Axel, you have necromancy of untold power. :P
One thing that I did not see specifically mentioned would be what I have seen referred to as the innocent alignment. That are similar to animals in they do not have the capacity to understand moral choices. Unlike animals, they simply have not developed the capacity yet.
They may a concept of right and wrong in that they can register that you did something wrong to me, but they are not yet capable of understanding altruism or malice because they haven't internalized the concept of others having thoughts and feelings like themselves. Basically children, a man raised by wild animals.
I tend to use law to mean you would prefer to be lead by someone based on social status (king, elected president, pope, general), and chaos means you would prefer to be lead by someone based on a physical or mental capability (biggest, smartest, most charismatic).
That's problematic, as probably the single largest group of people doesn't want to be led at all. That's one reason that "leadership" is a difficult skill that a lot of organizations go to a tremendous amount of trouble to teach.
One of the best expressions of chaos I've ever read is from Invictus:
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
I genuinely hope that some of the posts on this thread are facetious. I mean, murdering for personal gain not evil? Of course it is! Evil doesn't require active malice. Harmful actions done for the sake of greed are a textbook example of evil. You don't have to wish harm on another person for stealing from them to be wrong, you just have to put your own joy or well being disproportionately above theirs.
A bunch of good stuff.
That's a great way to think about neutrality that jives with the timeless "everyone thinks they're a good guy".
I think there are a few different ways a person could be neutral. But I also think that by far the most common is people who believe that they're good, and think of themselves as good, and even try and do good things fairly often...
...just not quite often enough. People are really good at being selfish. And really good at lying to themselves. And really good at persuading themselves that this selfish thing they're doing is totally not selfish and totally something they're doing for the sake of someone else.
Of course, they're not thieves... but they will help themselves to a bottle of booze that's sat around unattended. After all, someone's lost it. Or they wouldn't steal from anyone who couldn't afford it... but this time? This one time? This specific person clearly can afford it, so it's okay! And never mind that that happens every fortnight. And they'd never f$$* up a friends relationship! But it was obvious that that last partner was a bad idea, so they were just helping the friend see it. Or they're not corrupt, but everyone knows that some free drinks now and again is just a perk of the job. Or they're not cruel, not sadistic! But sometimes they're in a bad mood, and they lash out, and it's not their fault because they'd had a few drinks and everyone knows what they're like after a few drinks.
So I think for most people the path of neutrality is the path of making excuses for your own petty selfishness, but keeping your selfishness petty enough that you can still excuse it.
I would add that one of their justifications for being selfish or petty is, "I am been a good boy lately, I can't be nice all the time." They do good, but like the bad things it is a lot of little things that don't really add up to much.
Well , personally my problem with NN is that i cant understand how an adventurer can be like that most of the time if their starter story is not really well made.
I will agree with others that said , on true neutral stands the common folk.
They arent evil or good , they are just living their lives like they can , doing their best day/day and sometimes they make good or evil deeds , some have better or worse day , but in general they dont dwell on that. They just want to live a good life and so on.
Now on an adventurer i usually look at something that drives them to become more than the others , something outside just living a day at a time and getting by doing what they can.
To me major figures and so on , the characters that we remember and most of those we learn in history even would have something that toss them outside NN each. Something that drives them and gives them a strong personality.
