    Default What alignment is Alexander the Druid?

    Alexander is a very meek yet stern, unimpressive dwarven man. He stammers over his words and displays a clear lack of confidence outside of his areas of expertise. He knows what he believes, however, and none will sway him from those beliefs. In fact, when his ideals are threatened he can suddenly fly into a rage. He has watched the city of Korvosa and knows the city spoils what is good in nature--purity of the mind and body, honest work, and a commitment to preserving the land we all depend on. It is partially from this and partially from his mentor that he has built a simple philosophy in life that so long as individuals respect and protect nature, obey the laws of the land, keep their word, and maintain the health of their bodies, people should be left unmolested. This is his intrepretation of his syncretic blend of the church of Abadar and the green faith. While Alexander can definitely hold his own in combat alongside his horse, seeing an ally on the brink of death leaves him shaken enough that he immediately goes to their aid, even if that means his ideals in that instance would be violated. Seeing a helpless, innocent being reminds him of himself when he was an addicted orphan under the heavy hand of Gaedren Lamm.

    You've left out a lot that's important for his alignment.

    "so long as individuals respect and protect nature, obey the laws of the land, keep their word, and maintain the health of their bodies, people should be left unmolested."

    What happens to someone who breaks the law, or eats a lot of candy? Are they suddenly undeserving of any consideration?

    "Left unmolested"--does he believe in helping people who aren't established allies of his, or would he let them die?

    If you break the law, you must be tracked down and punished. If you eat a lot of candy or do drugs, you must be cleansed. This leads into helping others--he will aid those who are not his allies so long as they are harming neither nature nor other sentient beings.

    Great Modthulhu: As previously reminded, one thread per topic please. You already have an open thread about this specific character, you do not need to start a new one simply because that previous thread fell off the first page.
