Fan Corner / Re: D&D Alignment in RotBP

I only really know Mikah's story from the game lore files, so it's possible I missed something, but from what I can tell she seems like a selfish thief type, but I could see CN too.

Hive, again, I only see the stuff about her wanting to feed her red cloud of angry teeth. But I could concede that can fit into a true neutral thing too.

Lawful Good (LG): Uses law and order to do good.
Neutral Good (NG):  Only concern is good.
Chaotic Good (CG): Is not bounded by law to do good.
Lawful Neutral (LN): Is only concerned with order.
Neutral (N): Balanced and unconcerned.
Chaotic Neutral (CN): Selfish and chaotic, not evil.
Lawful Evil (LE): Uses law to do evil.
Neutral Evil (NE): Only concerned with evil.
Chaotic Evil (CE): Does whatever evil they want any way they want to.

I think you've misunderstood the D&D alignment ideas.

"Good" and "Evil" are pretty nebulous terms, and in my experience it generally translates as "Good" meaning selfless and optimistic and "Evil" is selfish and cynical.

So I'd like to propose some of my own for debate.

Alien

Harec: Chaotic Good (CG)
While he ultimately wants to rid the planet of humans for the greater good (it will stop the fighting from all sides and allow his people some peace), he ultimately does this through means of chaos and with disregard to any standards he or his people hold. He works for the goal no matter what moral boundary he crosses (like recruiting psychopaths like Lycus and Dolren, or abusing the ancient powers of the protectors).

Shae: Lawful Neutral (LN)
Shae's motives are in line with Harec's for the most part, but Shae is guided more by her own code than Harec is by any, she cares more about upholding her people's traditions and her own personal code of conduct.

Doldren: Lawful Evil (LE)
Dolren is an interesting case, since from reading his Raiders Universe extracts, he is definitely evil both on moral grounds and in terms of D&D alignment definition. But he makes mention to following a particular set of "teachings", and that he only killed "low borns", indicating that while evil, he also has a code to follow and a method to his ways.

Iune: Neutral Good (NG)
So far the only Alien I would describe as truly good, she fights to stop Uras-Beherit, and can see beyond the "Humans vs us" narrative of Harec.

Wardogs

Alicia: Chaotic Good (CG)
Alicia is definitely Chaotic, she takes orders like a mormon takes liquor. Her motives lean good since she has shown to have moral boundaries (like getting Loaht some help after he OD'd on Aleph) and she definitely makes a case to have a good heart buried somewhere under there.

Loaht: Chaotic Neutral (CN)
Wew lad, Loaht maked Alicia look tame. Loaht's only real concerns are booze, explosives, Aleph, and preferrably alcohol-aleph explosive cocktails. Dude is hardline Chaotic, only reason he is aligned to the Raiders is they pulled him out of a losing battle and they owe him a house.

H.I.V.E.: Neutral Evil (NE)
I think Hive isn't so much aligned WITH the Raiders as she is aligned AGAINST the Wardogs, and by extension most of the humans. She only really seems to care about feeding her little ones and only hasn't gone for the team because they haven't gone for her.

Hades Division

Lycus Dion: Neutral Evil (NE)
Genuinely greedy. Genuinely terrible. Genuinely good-looking (ahem).
Lycus is Neutral, he doesn't care about law or chaos, he only really cares about getting paid. It seems like it wasn't always like this, maybe he'll change one day soon.

Hans: Lawful Good (LG)
Okay.
Wait.
Let me make my point first.
Hans is definitely selfless, he cares for his men and shows a deal of compassion more than most of the other Raiders. Not only that, but he's got a sense of duty the others don't. He keeps his word, and protects his friends.

Mikah: Neutral Evil (NE)
Another greedy "where is my end" one, she only really cares that SHE gets home, all the other stuff is just means to an end.

Fifth Council

Konstantin: Lawful Good (LG)
He turned his back on the Fifth Council, and has a sense of duty beyond any of the others, definitely the best example of a good guy in this game.

Dr. Kuzmann: Neutral Evil (NE)
Even though he shows a dedication to Fifth Council, his motivations seem to stem from wanting to be/remain immortal, and I would bet he'd screw the entire council if he could improve his inmortality tech.

Ginebra: Lawful Neutral (LN)
While she stopped taking orders from the Fifth Council, it seems to be because of something within her. It seems less like she doesn't care about doing good or being evil as much as she doesn subscribe to that sort of concept, she definitely follows her own individual ideals, whatever the case.

Bonus

Uras-Beherit: Chaotic Evil (CE)
Beherit is definitely the "destroy the universe" villain. Dude is crazy.

General Marmalade: Neutral Evil (NE)
Greedy, only really cares for himself. Fatboi.

Cortez: Neutral Good (NG)
Legitimately selfless, always props you up even if you score a 1.0 on the badass scale, willing to fly the entire length of the planet to find extra lives. The guy deserves a cold one.
