Lawful good.
I understand the need for, appreciate and follow society's laws. Have I broken them before? Yeah, here and there (specifically driving above the speed limit on the highway). But not so frequently or inconsiderably to call myself anything but lawful.
I'm surprised at how few have said lawful good. I think most people have a very narrow view of what lawful good entails. It doesn't only mean being the one-track-minded paladin.

I tend to be Neutral good.
Although if I ever get to play again, I might make a Chaotic neutral, impulsive rebel kind of guy.

I knowingly commit evil acts in order to balance out my normally goody-two-shoes life. I like structure in my life but am prone to spontaneity. I think of myself was True Neutral with good tendancies
I'd actually say most Americans are Lawful Evil, we would literally be worshiping Hextor in the streets here since Fascism is chic.Wyld Fyre said:
Neutral Good, I am as much chaotic as lawfull, I'm ammoral to simplifies that, as long as it benefit me!
Last time I checked, which was some months ago, I was Lawful Good. I don't imagine it's changed all that much, as my thoughts and personality are still more or less the same. I suppose I might have a few chaotic tendencies however.
I guide myself and my own actions on a pretty strict code of conduct (though I consider it mainly based on "don't be a selfish prick"), and believe that others would benefit from doing the same.

Chaotic Neutral...
...in the sense that I'm more or less a spontaneous lunatic that does all kinds of crazy things at a whim (with a crazy maniacal laughter of a lunatic). My mood largely governs my actions, meaning that whether someone lives or dies may largely change depending on how i feel, the weather or whatever happens to make me happy or angry at that particular moment. I don't know sorrow and sympathy, and would hardly lift an eyebrow if someone killed my family, and i don't mind killing, but i don't kill for sports or entertainment either. I regard my life with little care, meaning that I'm partly suicidal, and won't back off from a fight no matter the odds, if only to have a chance to laugh at the enemy if i manage to defeat them before i cut them into pieces.
That's my Baldur's Gate portrait right there. Psychotic killer *****!

Definitely chaotic. Probably chaotic neutral.
To be fair, TSR/Wizards couldn't even figure it out. morality has been both objective AND subjective, depending on edition, not to mention they're sometimes primal forces and sometimes not. Chaos is sometimes as organised as Law, which makes perfect sense. And I can't even remember the 4E rules...JesterRaiin said:Chaotic good.
From time to time i act as chaotic neutral, but at my core i am good.
BTW :
I was always curious about "LAWFUL". I mean, it's old and ancient news, but plenty of races considered chaotic are strict followers of law - their own, be it tribal, religious or something. So i always suggested to new players to think more about "structures/order" than about "law". To this day i can't accept term "lawfulness".
Psycho Killer? Quest-ce que c'est?Athinira said:

...Sorry, couldn't resist. I tried, I really tried.
I've taken the D&D alignment test several times over the years, and I generally end up being somewhere on the evil axis. The law and chaos axis generally varies on my mood.
So I would say roughly neutral evil sounds about right.

Neutral Good, it more than adequately summarises my Half-Elven nature. But in all seriousness, I'm not really an evil person, I've always preferred playing a heroic character over a morally ambiguous or evil one, but that's only when I get the chance to play my character as I usually DM.
Chaotic good. It fits me like a glove, so long as you use my definition of good.
I've said it before, but I believe most western Civilizations, as a whole(see cityscape if that doesn't make sense) are Lawful Evil. Everyone is out for themselves, restricted by what is lawful, not what is right.Wyld Fyre said:
