Kuragari Wrote:Hey, I had a thought. What do you guys think the alignment of each of the playable characters is?
...Daggome it. This question irritates everyone almost as much as it makes everyone have fun answering it.
So, what the hey.
NOTE: Answers WILL vary based on individual roleplaying and character development. This is just based on who they are at the start of the game.
Emilia: A straight hero type, without a lot of ambiguity or complexity, who doesn't stress too much about tradition or whatnot without trying to effect social change or anything. I'm gunning for
Neutral Good.
Rhiannon: ...Okay, this one's going to raise some eyebrows, so let me say at first that I
luvs Rhiannon. She's
easily my favorite girl as a character and one of my favorite girls period. That said...
Chaotic Evil. It's not even close.
Now, that particular alignment doesn't mean she's completely devoid of any redeeming qualities or positive aspects, but the fact remains that, at the start of the game, she's a murderous bandit who's killed any number of ordinary, decent people and taken their stuff out of selfishness and greed, without a care in the world. Chaotic Evil characters needn't be rotten to the bones or Stupid Evil or have no redeeming qualities, but, at the start of the game, Chaotic Evil.
It's part of why I like roleplaying her slow turn to Neutral, then Good, though it hasn't quite gotten that far yet. As to the Chaotic, well, she's anti-authority, and is an anarchist rebel fighting a government conspiracy. Hey. Self-evident.
Irine: Well, thank the Sun for THIS breather! Kind, decent, as devoted to the good of others as she is to adhereing to certain standards of expected behavior and tradition...
Lawful Good. Hands down. She's the Keldorn of this game, the paladin who, despite being a paladin, is
still a fun and interesting character without being a jerk about it.
Cesca: ...I hate answering this, because it's the most abused alignment in the entire world, and I freely admit that I probably don't know enough about Cesca to answer it, but...
Chaotic Neutral. Unlike Rhiannon, she doesn't really kill anyone, but she's almost completely unconcerned with the altruistic greater good or whatnot, without taking it to Rhiannon's selfish extremes. Also, she's a thief fighting the law.
Thyme: ...I hate even more answering this twice in a row, but, again,
Chaotic Neutral. Just like Cesca, she's come to the Labrynth mostly for her own reasons, and, like Cesca, she exists outside the social order on multiple levels (weird magic, lives in a hut in a swamp, works in an... unladylike field, etc.).
Lanie: I may not like her, but only the devil lets his own personal taste for a character inform his opinion of their alignment. Lanie, who has no strong inclinations towards altruism or destructive selfishness, and, while slutty in a socially unacceptable way is still concerned about the approval of society at large (eg. grades and prestige), is
True Neutral.
Sairyn: Easy peasy! She comes to the Labrynth to fulfill her own duty-bound philosophy of life
by helping people. A different sort, but she is also
Lawful Good.
Asella: ...Tricky. On the one hand, her character bio tells us that she looks down on the lower classes. On the other, she clearly still has positive qualities despite her arrogance, as Lumina's story suggests. I'mma go with
Lawful Neutral, for her tradition-bound ways and arrogant disregard for those she considers beneath her... but, in that Arcadian sort of way, where good is still a
factor, even though the plane/person as a whole is still a place of law before good.
...And now the disagreements begin...
Sorry to kill your boner. Huhuhu...
