@Archmage MC Oh, you hail from TV Tropes too? XD Hello, brother! :D


Light IS genre savvy after all. :P

One of my fav things there is that 'list of things not to do as a villain'. So funny.

@Archmage MC @Morose @Gilgex The reason why I had the alignments is so we have a good idea of how our character operates. They aren't supposed to be a guideline, just a little bit of a summary/flag. Like how Vance Allen is Lawful Good because of his sophistication and his upholding of the side of Order in the Sanctuary, and how Daran Soraw is Chaotic Good because he and some of the 32nd were guerrillas back in 2014 and still use guerrilla tactics to this day, despite now being part of a formal standing army. That's all. :)


Oh thats fine. I'm more making a meta comment at how the system on TV tropes needs an update, thats all :P.

Miller's early Batman stuff is some of my favorite work ever done on Batman. 9/11 just had a really profound psychological effect on the guy, really sad.


Oh true, he did have some good stuff before he went off his rocker. I forgot about those. But man, did he ever go off his rocker, srsly.

Sadly I haven't, I'm not too big on comics as I am the other media they spawn.
I think the only non-japanese comic I've ever followed is Umbrella Academy, and I still need to read Dallas.

*looks around and twiddles foot*

Yes, I'm that big of a fanboy for those of you whom haven't noticed a theme with me yet >.>;


I don't blame you mate. Watch Comicstorian or Comics Explained to catch up on comics. Or Linkara if you wanna see really bad comics get grilled like Millers stuff.

I'm serious Miller turned batman into a homicidal maniac that loves to mentally torture robin. Its messed up.

Note me saying "Alternate Timeline" Batmans. The DC Universe is full of various multi-verses and characters like Batman have several doubles, even Batmen that seem like the Original Batman we all know and love, but are actually an alternate version.

The "original" batman has always been Neutral Good, neither lawful nor chaotic.


True, very true. But what I'm saying is, did you read miller's stuff at all?

He made batman out to be a nutjob. Like, seriously go watch Linkara's stuff on him. xD

Batman has always been Neutral Good, unless you talk about alternate-timeline Batmans.

And the Alignments aren't really as outdated as they are misunderstood. Good does not mean good and evil does not mean evil in their case. Kind of complicated in their theory, it's best not talk about them and just make sure our characters don't all act like crazy heathens.


Have you read Batman stuff made by Miller? Thats where Batman gets the more evil sides from. xD. If you don't wanna read them, I think Linkara or Comicstorian or Comics Explained goes over how psycho he is pretty well.

@Archmage MC If Intel wanted Alliances it's best to just give them.


True I did. I'm just saying they're not as good as they were a few years back is all xD. They need a serious update. Batman has been through all 9 over the years depending on the writer, which is hilarious if you think about it.

@FrozenEcstasy Not everyone is going to play their characters the exact same way. SO in short does it really matter?


This. Light for example is Chaotic Neutral, but shes only that because thats her personality type. Shes still going to be very nice and friendly towards everyone and try to make everyone be friends with everyone else. I dunno what everyone else is doing, but I think thats a pretty good difference, no?

I'm honestly not a fan of the 9 degrees of allegance. They're too vague themselves to be useful. Lawful Evil for example can easily also be good, while Lawful Good can easily be evil, but fit into their respective catagories due to the tropes they follow.
crap man, doing all those colors must've been painful.
