[Alignment help] Alignment Your character's alignment is the single most important factor in developing his or her moral principles and how they interact with the world around him or her, which is why it is among the first considerations during the character creation process. On SK, your character begins as an adult. A character's motivations and morals have already been formed and defined by experiences during his or her childhood. The expectations of the gods and a society that can detect your moral standing constantly reinforces your character's initial world view. Therefore, alignment is extremely difficult to change, while following it helps your character to successfully navigate the vast and conflicted world of Pyrathia. A character is bound to his or her alignment; it is the very core essence of his or her soul, and this must be reflected in the choices made throughout a character's life. Though it is impossible to classify all of the possible, legitimate personalities in the world into simple categories, there are eight basic alignments which define the characters of SK. Select the option that most closely reflects to how you wish for your character to act, and play accordingly and consistently. The eight alignments are : Principled -- good Scrupulous -- good Dogmatic -- selfish Unprincipled -- selfish Anarchist -- selfish Aberrant -- evil Miscreant -- evil Diabolic -- evil An in-depth description of each alignment is available by reading the appropriate help file. Although you will be responsible for acting close to the alignment you choose, you do not have to follow the help file word for word. The help file is there to help you, not to tell you exactly how to play your character. See also: aura roleplay aberrant anarchist diabolic miscreant principled scrupulous unprincipled dogmatic
