Character Alignment

This page list of various Character Alignments is a shorthand for a given character's (or religion's, society's, organization's, etc.) used in the Shaman King fan fiction series.
 	
: (Crusader/Saintly) 	They are both honorable and kind. Good lawful characters believe that working together and following a code of conduct makes life better for everyone. Heroic types may stand up to fight for truth, justice and such, but the commonfolk just tend to pay their taxes, keep their word, and volunteer on weekends. The really extreme types might run the risk of becoming a Wide-Eyed Idealist. While sometimes mischaracterized as The Fundamentalist, Lawful Good is just as much Good as Lawful, so they'll resist efforts to let rules inflict harm.
Known examples:
: (Benefactor) 	they are the Sweetness and light. Doing good is more important than upholding the law, but the law is not a bad thing. Not too caught up in Order Versus Chaos; concerned with moral goodness, but often not willing to enforce it in others. Neutral good states may be really nice places to live but depending on how idealistic or cynical the setting is, they may be deluding themselves into being too idealistic.
Known examples:
: (Beatific/Rebel) 	those Rebels and free spirits who are stereotypically found opposing tyrants and other oppressive types. They tend to believe that things like order, discipline, and honor can get in the way of doing good. Their free-spirited, easily bored nature means that if the local government isn't considered sufficiently oppressive, they might just go out and find one that is.
Known examples:
: (Judge) 	even If it's against the rules, then it's bad, no matter what. Lawful Neutral characters believe that order is more important than kindness, empathy and understanding. Often highly honorable, if they give their word, they'll carry it out even if it makes things worse. While they don't try to use the system to exploit others, like Lawful Evil characters, they can be shockingly indifferent if people do get ground up by the cogs of justice. Characters of this type often feature in an Order Versus Chaos situation where neither side is proven to be right.
Known examples:
: (Undecided) 	Sometimes known as just Neutral, or even Neutral. It comes in two kinds: Keeping the Balance and Just doesn't seem to care, as the balance-happy sort may sometimes be characters just too dumb to know the two differences, but may also be a Wild Card. Intelligent, true neutral are quite logical in how they go about things, including morals.
Known examples:
: (Free Spirit) 	Chaotic Neutral characters are all about freedom, and don't care so much about rules or morality. They're wild, carefree and selfish, but not so callous or sadistic as to be actually bad. When bad alignments are unavailable, Chaotic Neutral is often used by players in Tabletop Games to excuse doing anything they feel like, and as such, badly is often prohibited by the sort of Game Master who also prohibits Bad characters. Just as often the bad guys as the good guys in an Order Versus Chaos situation. The main difference between Chaotic Neutral and Chaotic Bad is a matter of execution.
Known examples:
(Dominator) 	an Organized Bad with a master plan. Often members of The Empire, they use organization, rules and honor to their advantage, inflicting their will on others by achieving power within the system. Be they a Noble Demon, a Proud Warrior Race Guy, or just someone who believes in keeping order at all costs, they are not to be underestimated.
Known examples:
: (Malefactor) 	The consummate pragmatists, Neutral Bad characters don't find themselves shackled to their impulses or bound by rules of law and honor. They are only interested in one thing: themselves. They'll do whatever is most prudent to get them to their desired destination, no matter who they have to hurt along the way.
Known examples:
: (Destroyer/Demonic)	They will do whatever they want to, especially if it hurts other people, without regard for the rules. While a Neutral Bad person would work within the system until it was convenient not to, a chaotic Bad person would often work outside the system. Contrary to what some believe, Chaotic Bad does not mean the kind of wanton, meaningless slaughter and destruction. Rather, they usually consider what is practical in a particular situation.
: 	Antiheroes are heroic characters that have insensitive motives. They may not feel the need to rescue the day, but still try to keep the peace, community, environment & the world out of danger.
Known examples:
: 	Antivillains are villainous characters that just don’t care at some point about being bad. They commit crimes for noble reasons & they justify their actions, providing reasons as to why they do bad things.
