              Rules of the game.

 Character of the hero - a guide for foundations
its moral and ethnic relations to other characters, society, 
good, evil and the forces universe in obschem.Ispolzuyte 
selected nature as a guide to decide, and

What will your hero in one way or another
difficult situation as he decides the moral
dilemy.Vsegda use nature as a
instrument, do not limit their hero
rigid framework, which requires harakter.Hot character and sets 
a major relationship, but it does not interfere with the hero 
to change their relationships with other heroes, belief, or even

do something protivorechayshee nature.


         Law, Neutrality, Chaos.

 A look at the orders and regulations of the hero is divided 
into three opposing points vozzreniya.Graficheski these views 
can be represented as vertices of a triangle that goes from one 
drugoy.Itak these views: Law, Neutrality, Haos.Oni explain the 
relationship of each character to the society, friendship, 
partnership , contracts, etc.  The heroes who believe in the 
law, believe that order, organization of important, even 
natural, forces in vselennoy.Svyazi between people and 
Governments prirodny.Filosofy Law argue that the order was not 
created by man, and is a natural law vselennoy.Hot people and 
generates orders, but he must live only within them, otherwise

All ruhnet.Pravda some philosophers of Law believe that people 
will adhere to law, if there will be udoletvoryayuschie their 
pravila.Naprimer people only will not resort to vendetta, when 
they can make a complaint to any authoritative cheloveku.Sila 
also creates union that we have seen in

guilds, empires, and strong churches.
 Neutrality for a more balanced view on veschi.Oni say
for every force there is an opposite
her strength in vselennoy.Est Act, there is chaos, there is 
neutrality, there Priverzhennost.Tak same for the life and 
death, good and Zla.I most importantly, all these forces are in 
equilibrium with each other in vselennoy.Esli one factor ceases 
to stronger another, the universe ceases neustoychivoy.Esli 
several factors weaken, but the opposite is not, then it may be

horrible posledstviya.Dlya example, if
mortality rate exceeds the birth, the universe
may become deserted and lifeless.
 Neutrality is not only philosophers argue that for every force 
has an opposite, but argue that if one power completely destroy 
the other, the universe perish because nothing can exist

without its opposite. Fortunately
for philosophers Neutrality universe self-regulated, and only 
the emergence of a new, great power (which has not yet 
happened) will make them seriously reconsider.  Veruschie in 
Chaos believe that there is no laws or balance in vselennoy.Oni 
see universe as a collection of objects and creatures that 
interact with each other utterly nezavisimo.Oni argue that any 
action does not affect another. Chaos philosophers believe in 
the power of personality and it is inherent in them is such a 
thing as anarhiya.Bolee pragmatic philosophers did not believe 
that the functions of society in protecting their own 
interesov.Haotichnym very difficult to join together in groups 
as they put their interests above those of their association.



          Good, Neutrality, Evil.

 As well as in relation to the rules of the hero
The second part of the character, too, is divided into
three zony.Oni describe, in greater or
lesser extent, moral character, and their concepts
good and bad.
 So try to be good geroi.Oni
honest, generous and pryamolineynymi.Lyudi imperfect, and 
therefore can not always be amenable to dobrym.Inogda character 
weakness and commits oshibki.Dobry hero is worried because of 
his mistakes and tries to fix any damage caused by them.  
Remember that the concept of good is not absolyutno.Hotya many 
things common to all Good (Helping the needy, protect the 
weak), but in different cultures may have its own 
Interpretation of Good and Evil.  The behavior of the neutral 
depends on theirs also made "sentences". They do not divide

people and things is good, and some Zlo.V
cases relate to other neutral
characters depending on their "state of health"
(Animals are neutral). For example, they kill themselves when 
they are hungry or frightened, they sleep there, where we found 
the food (and of course they are there and ate it). They do not 
worried about the morality of their actions, as their action 
instinctively.  Evil - opposed Dobru.Tolko some evil natures 
specifically looking for the weak and vokrug.Bolshaya destroy 
all of the people not even aware that it is doing great

uscherb.Lyudi and things for the evil plans of a hindrance that 
needs to be ubrat.Nado just remember that evil, like the 
Welcome in different societies is interpreted differently. 


        Combinations of traits.

these two mnozhestv.Kazhdy character different from another is 
sometimes completely and sometimes chastichno.Kazhdaya 
combination is described below.

each other, then society will be protsvetat.Etot hero fighting

society and laws that are of benefit to them. If these laws 
interfere with the lives of others, it is their 
problemy.Zakonoposlushnye evil characters obey law, not because 
of fear of punishment, because they preobretut notoriety If you 
do not some kontrakt.Zakonoposlushnye evil

heroes always keeps his word, and if
their pledge to be burdensome, then the characters are trying 
to find the law loophole using which it can be circumvented

greedy mercenaries are examples law-abiding evil hero.

Chaotic Good or Lawful Good. Structure of society (Law or 
Chaos) is not vazhny.Glavnoe to come Dobro.Baron, following 
orders from the king to "destroy" (it should be "Destroy" the 
evil that is evil in the eyes of the king) is a good example of 
a neutral Good luck.

that "Each for himself alone, in contrast to the chaotic 
zlogo.U they do not have a personal relationship to his 
partneram.Oni build their relationship to power and money, the

the government set up for the weak, but not for nih.Ochen it 
would be interesting to look at situation where the chaotic 
evil characters together in gruppu.Ved they put their interests 
above all drugih.V a group leader captures the strongest, but 
if He once showed weakness, it will throw off any other 
metodom.Krovozhadny pirates and monsters with low intelligence
