Reality vs. Role-play and there effect on perceived concepts of Good vs. Evil.
Nifty, if not slightly rantish title.
I know evil characters do not fit into the world of Layonara all that well, and this is were my concept of right wrong and so forth diverge from the main stream. Reasoning for this is I like to play, rouges, assassins, and SD’s. Now yes this is partly inherent to there great potential when mixed together, and yes I tend to be a power gamer. I am tired of power gaming and thus wish to find an RP world to call home. I still have a soft spot for the rouge like classes, because I like there lithe, subtle, sneaky demeanor.
I have read till my eyes hurt on the forums, about character creation, deity req, race specifics, and so forth. Now more to the point Reality vs. Role-Play. In reality I am a good law abiding citizen, well I do speed a bit, but there are things in my mind/ethics/moral disposition that conflict with all of the defined alignments.
Now, Good vs. Evil. My biggest issue is the killing an unarmed foe, that of course can be subject to opinion due to claws and teeth, but that aside I tend to play chaotic good characters even when I am actually an assassin. I see an assassin as an individual that is trained to fight dirty. In reality as far as I know government assassins are supposed to be part of the past. But what would you consider a military sniper, even if his target is armed, that target may be so far away ,and should be unaware, that they for lack of an ability to describe them better, are unarmed, or witless.
After reading the defined alignments, it seems chaotic neutral fits me best. That of course is currently restricted. I am not trying to get it unrestricted, that’s mute point and I’d be better off continuing my search for a server, especially since my RP experience with a keyboard is rather limited. More then anything I am looking for possible suggestion as to what kind of rouge like character any experienced rpers might suggest, that are preferably not a goodie goodie.
Well thanks for your time and I hope you could follow what this meant
