Heh, yes, I suppose so. ^_^ Still, I'm trying to manage such a genuine portrayal of her neutrality and dark side. I mean... what can you expect, she is a demon. *nods*

indeed, but my demon is a total evil guy who loves to burn, and in that bruning glory in the sensation of his ability to destroy for his gods. I think remaining neutral takes to much effort =P

Heh, yeah. I suppose so. Do you think that I'm fairing well though? I mean... I've never had an evil character before, let alone a neutral one. Harle is somewhat of a mix.

I think that you are doing a very good job. The main problem is to remeber that your person is neutral, and that you have to look at things from your characters perspective, not your own.. did that make sense?

Yes, that did. Heh... I have to keep changing my point of view for each character, that's why I usually stick to one alignment most of the time.

The main problem is to remeber that your person is neutral, and that you have to look at things from your characters perspective, not your own.. did that make sense? Neutral is hard to do well, because most options lend themselves to either being good or being evil. Being neutral means then swaying between choosing the goiod options and choosing the evil options. Thats a bit wishy-washy IMHO. On the other hand, neutrality might be less a function of the results than a result of the motivation, that is, you aren't out to do good or evil. You're out to do... neutral?

Hhmm... neutral is simply not bending to either side, but of course... my character has her own ideology, when it comes to "good" and "bad". This is another partial reason as to why she is neutral... more so than just being evil or benevolent. She really won't try to label things, she'll avoid it. I mean, as I had stated it, being in her nature... she enjoys killing and bloodlust. But it can be distracting, so she tries to avoid it, since there is no purpose behind it. She tends to be... slightly evil, if you judge her actions in the proper way, because of wanting to kill for the sake of her bloodlust, and also simply to eliminate obstacles. So far, she really only kills bandits, highwaymen, and thieves, because they are attracted to her blade. No one else.

Well... there was the one, patrol character in Chalegra. But so far.... he has been the only exception.

Agreed. I really really like the mood set up in your posts. It's really really good writing.
Anyway, no problem Charlie, I'll start you off with some classic ska and have it for you on Wednesday at school, or afterword depending on if the thing happens*.

K, already seen, and thnx. I;m trying to get together a collection of music, since i'm starting to appreciate it more than i used to, kinda weird for me. I;ve never really cared for music till a couple of months ago.

Hmm... I wonder why that is? Why the sudden change of heart? Were you into books and video games before then?

I understand where he's coming from. He liked music, it just wasn't something that he sought to hear when he was bored. Am I right? I had that experience around sixth grade.

hmmm, sorta, but not really. For most of my life, i just listened to the music someone else put on, but never really cared for any myself. I was more of a book on tape person back the, i barely ever read or lstened to music becuase i was too busy multi tasking with games and book on tapes. The fun thing is that i was able to skip reading class even when i barely read becuase of liking for those tapes. And yes Harle, i have loved video games ever since i played the original super smash, but i have never owned a game system apart from he computer. Not even a game boy. Well, thats my musical past, not much there but, thats it.
