Re: OotS as opposite alignments
Oh, I thought it was meant to be flipped.
That is, though WoLong can clarify, my impression was that WoLong would describe the official Haley thus:
While Haley has general compassion and believes in ideals such as robbing the rich to feed the poor, she often takes advantage of those close to her, such as her adventuring party. She steals from the rich by strong preference (though she has been known to rob poor-ish pickpockets who were attempting to rob her group members), is fairly ready to kill whenever she finds it justified, but it feeds her terrible self-esteem problem when she does kill, no matter how much her victim deserved it. She is ultimately far more willing to sacrifice herself than her code of ethics says she should be. As a result, her funds seesaw wildly; though she is currently on an up-swing after robbing her former Guild, shortly before that she went nearly broke funding a resistance movement in occupied Azure City (known to the occupiers as "Gobbotopia").Evil Elan may still possess a love of the dramatic, but as a bard he would not be able to inflict pain and take what he wants as well as a fighter.Last edited by Kish; 2013-02-01 at 07:09 PM.

Re: OotS as opposite alignments
I did not envision Evil Elan as particularly power-hungry, since Good (or Official) Elan doesn't seem to care much about power or competence either. And since Elan seems to be the party member that cares most about others, I imagined that evil Elan would be the most hateful alignment flipped character of them all. While bard is undoubtedly a round class, I can't imagine it giving as much hulk smash satisfaction as Fighter.

Re: OotS as opposite alignments
WoLong, please read the forum rules, particularly the section about double-posting.
As for Evil Elan, I view giving him a hulk smash mentality as at least as much a transformation of the character as making him power hungry. Not sure why I would prefer your interpretation to Kish's.
