From his descriptions, this is what I take from it. Best way I can sum them up is via superheroes.
'Principled' - Captain America, does everything for the good and law that he knows is just.
'Disciplined' - Iron Man (from the movies) always does good and tries to uphold the law, but he doesn't always uphold that standard to himself if it stops someone else.
'Scrupulous' - Thor, Laws? Silly things that are there to stop good people from doing what is right. Smashing face of the bad guy.
Haha awesome example, came in as I was typing my reply!
I'd still hurl iron man in with scrupulous though. I'd say Batman is disciplined.
And cooler. Another example would be Robocop ;3
Essentially the difference between a Principled and a Disciplined character would be that the principled character would feel the need to atone if he finds himself in a situation where he has to either break his word/vows or perform an act that is less than holy, whereas a disciplined character would simply chalk it up to 'following orders' or 'going by the code I follow'.
