Old SC - Your Believed Alignment - 12

Xena: "I don't recall ever stating that my sole purpose in life is to fuck shit up."
That's not all there is to Chaotic/Evil. That is a gross oversimplification on your part, the sort that d20 players refer to as "Stupid Evil" or "Chaotic Stupid" depending on the iteration.

Riddick for instance from the Pitch Black series is an example of a C/E protagonist. Guts from Berserks starts as a C/E protagonist as well (who arguably falls back into it overtime). There's many others out there too that aren't all about fire and brimstone within their alignment niche.

He seems more Chaotic Good to me.

Uhhh... I'm pretty sure she's evil at this point. Likely not lawful either with how her arc goes with The Faceless Man, but I'm not sure where she sits between neutrality and chaos.

therealtsg: "tc stated he thought he was lawful evil, while you thought he was lawful neutral and the latter was used in your 'joint' list so i hope you don't mind that i'm taking this as your opinion solely and not his."
We settled on a mid ground of L/N with evil tendencies. While I independently hold onto my notion of being L/E with her bias being that I act differently around her than other people, that is the answer that was put onto the list. I'm not quite as far over on that end of the spectrum as I used to be at least.

therealtsg: "i thought it was obvious from my last post that i thought you were better suited for chaotic evil as you are a self proclaimed psychopath which is what i felt the description was akin to."
She'd only said it was possible from being unsure from their muddy criteria while nowadays placing a distrusting eye towards the notion of diagnosis itself. While an older post weighed in as "most likely", she now instead doesn't know where she sits related to that related to a child history with medication. Check the topic, you were there.

It's reitterated here as well, in case that was missed: "I'm not a self-proclaimed psychopath. I may or may not fit the criteria. I do not know."

Tryptamine: "I've seen you as "evil" alignment for quite a while. The "chaotic" bit appears fitting, but I am not entirely certain about it."
I'd say Crow isn't so much "evil" so much as "jaded".

Chaos though, no question.

therealtsg: "now if you later decided to take this back that's your perogative but sugar has already filed it away as a confession :D"
Self discovery isn't exactly instantaneous, and the way you're typing about it is as if she still held onto it being as strongly believed the case as it once was. Even I from the whole shallow emotions thing once thought I fell onto the sociopath spectrum before exploring everything else a little further.

Xena: "Erm... Chaotic evil is an extreme character alignment."
There is a range within these 9 types. You may be thinking of Stupid Evil.

Within TVTropes definition of it, there's five defined subtypes. Beyond that there's always the potential for more.

therealtsg: "but your memories of childhood did kinda seem ODDish to me."
From what I know I'd say it's a little more complicated than that personally, but that's just my input.

Assuming you weren't meaning the Pokemon anyway. She has some traits in common with that.

Tryptamine: "So then, a "chaotic" and "evil" person places a high premium on freedom, and may willing to satisfy their desires at the expense of others because they are selfish."
That is in fact what defines Type 1.

therealtsg: "one, to challenge TC equally when he made no such comment about wanting feedback"
I mean I'm not against it, I was just too lazy to catch up on this topic for a while.

It's been a pretty busy time on my end.

Xena: "I sacrifice a lot for other people. I guess it is a little insulting to have that alignment label foisted on to me. If I were chaotic evil I'd have no kids, 2 abortion scars I never talk about, a successful career as a prostitute and thief, and a moderately wealthy 3rd husband to pay my bills after the other 2 died mysteriously, wouldn't I?"
Your perspective on what constitutes C/E is super limited. It's like you didn't even read what she typed.

C/E is capable of self-sacrifice. To throw this example out again, Riddick. Seriously, read the types and get out of your own head for a second, as how far in your own head that you are is a large factor of why "evil" was picked. Everything you read is about you, and those connected to you still strike me as being seen as a part of you.

In that way I'm not any different, really. I have many attachments and might sacrifice myself if the situation called for it, but they're all about me, how those things affect me, what I care about.

thecrowonthefence: "Though I'm still not linking mental illness with chaotic evil."
Indeed, disorders can go into any spectrum of the alignment chart.

Xena: "I do have feelz :$"
Evil can have the most feeling. The Star Wars series focuses pretty hard on how "The Dark Side" tends to be the most emotional.

Xena: "I will also point out that I experience a full range of human emotion and empathy."
So can "evil" people. Someone without a full range of human emotion and empathy could probably be "good" from within the right circumstances too.

So much black and white thinking... Alignment has so much more potential than what you're granting it.

WW3: "My biggest problem with you is how you tell everyone to mute me because we disagree on our viewpoints on race,"
It's closer to you being a robotic parrot than the message itself. It's almost all you talk about anymore and many have grown tired of it.

I apologize for any reiterations, I was doing them one at a time in a seperate tab as I went through them. I deleted a few redundancies already.
