Yet another thread on Hilgya's alignment

*Sigh*

I think I've delineated pretty clearly where I disagree with each of these points.

Where? What post?

A good person never kills (except when they do, but let's put that aside for now). An evil person kills whenever it's convenient or fun. A neutral character lies somewhere in between.

This is a ridiculous simplification of what Evil and Good acts are. You yourself already noticed that reducing Evil to "killing people" turns out to be ridiculously wrong. No, Evil is using other people to further your own ends. Whether stealing, abusing, harming, or actually killing is less important than the fact that you are using them for selfish reasons. Being an incompetent at murder doesn't get Hilgya off the hook just because Ivan is still alive.

As far as I can tell, you have not rebutted anything I have said. You have literally ignored all my points about regret, intent, purpose and change, and continued to assert the three broad points I outlined above, none of which change that Hilgya considers anyone between her and her selfish objectives as mere objects to be mistreated and disposed of at her leisure, whether that be arson, murder, or theft.

In short, she is Evil.
