balmung Seeking for fellow lawful-neutral characters

[Nelson Herrmann]

I'd   like to start a small foundation consisting of dedicated  heavy roleplayers.  Due to  the lack of  unique concepts in the public roleplay  scheme  of FFXIV,  I've  decided  to come  up with  an   idea. 

 

What  is a lawful-neutral  character?

 

A  lawful neutral  character is a character that acts as law, tradition, or a personal code  directs him.  Order and organization are paramount to her. He may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard,  or he may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized  government,  a  group.

 

Lawful neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all freedom, choice, and diversity in society.

 

 

Those of this alignment view regulation as all-important, taking a middle ground betwixt evil and good. This is because the ultimate harmony of the world--and the whole universe--is considered by lawful neutral creatures to have its sole hope rest upon law and order. Evil or good are immaterial beside the determined purpose of bringing all to predictability and regulation. It is the view of this alignment that law and order give purpose and meaning to everything. Without regimentation and strict definition, there would be no purpose in the cosmos. Therefore, whether a law is good or evil is of no import as long as it brings order and meaning. 

 

Lawful neutral beings believe in a strong, well-ordered government, whether that government is a tyranny or benevolent democracy. The benefits of organization and regimentation outweigh any moral questions raised by their actions. Lawful neutral beings will uphold the law regardless of whether it is considered just or not. If the majority of the population disagrees with the practices of the government, then they must use legal means of getting those laws changed. Rebellion is a crime regardless of the purpose behind revolt. In their day-to-day affairs, lawful neutrals will adhere to the laws of the area they are in, and will also maintain their own sense of honor. 

 

They are respectful to both their leaders and their peers. Subordinates will be treated as is due their station within society. Written contracts and verbal agreements will be honored by these characters. They will not break their word or a contract unless there is a legal way to do so. Lawful neutral beings are concerned with the letter of the law, but rarely the spirit. These characters also respect the idea of station in life. They will act as they should, given their station.

 

The lawful neutral being normally sees law and order as of prime importance, with the well-being of the group put ahead of the individual on almost every occasion. Such persons see good and evil as immaterial and unimportant in the structuring of the universe into perfect order and harmony, in which lies society's only hope for survival. Whether a law is good or evil is of no import as long as it brings order and meaning. Thus, personal gratification of needs and desires is well and fine, as long as this doesn't interfere with the ultimate ordering of the cosmos; all other considerations are secondary. Life, to the lawful neutral being, has no meaning without order, and is thus expendable when faced with the choice between it and harmony. 

 

A lawful neutral character will keep his word if he gives it and will never lie. He may attack an unarmed foe if he feels it necessary. He will never harm an innocent. He may use torture to extract information, but never for pleasure. He will never kill for pleasure, only in self-defense or in the defense of others. A lawful neutral character may use poison as long as poison use is not illegal. He will help those in need only to advance the social order. He prefers to work with others. He responds well to higher authority, is trustful of organizations, and will always follow the law. He will never betray a family member, comrade, or friend. Lawful neutral characters respect the concepts of self-discipline and honor. 

 

 

Here's  some information about  my own  character.

 

 

Nelson is a battle bruised, tough figure around his late teens. A socially awkward statue, he doesn't like to engage in conversations and takes a negative approach upon the society. Nelson is a part of Maelstrom's foreign affairs, dishing out reinforcements to other companies in need. He's known for his quiet, care-free attitude. His inner circle consists of a few people that he communicates frequently with. It's known that Nelson lost his wife due to an incurable disease back in calamity. He's a brave leading figure, often seen around the city of Uld'ah and Gridania.  Nelson's mindset is to promote unlimited order in society and help the needy if such action advances law and order.

 

 

If  you're  still interested in the concept after considering this  bulk of information,   it requires alot of dedication and patience.  If I can manage  to get enough attraction,  I'll  write a big plot with my  fellows and  take it  as far  as  I  can  while providing realistic,  fun, unique  roleplay.  Take that from events  like bounty hunts to off-duty  relationships  and  synergies  inbetween people, and just japery in general. 

 

I'm waiting for  your  support. Let's  make it happen,  people!

Interesting, my main is lawful neutral for the most part, perhaps she could be thrown into the mix.

Sure  thing!  I'm a  little messed up right now,  although  I'll send you a PM tomorrow.  

 

Still looking for more. It's the best if we can reach around atleast 6-8 people to start with.

[Seriphyn]

Kale is a damned hardcore Lawful Neutral type, to the point it is central to his RP. He is extremely traditional and a hyperconformist, to the point he might find it difficult to deal with Nelson's age combined with the authority you've outlined! Nonetheless, OOC I'm very much behind meeting more Lawful Neutral types :E

[TheDerpCat]

Poki'a is also a lawfull-grey maybe a bit more on the religion side of it but i can see him turning that into a more politacal view. He's also to loyal for his own good. if you can persuade Poki'a to a goal you'll have somoene who will do evrything as long as it doens't hurt to many innocent people .

 

ooc i am very intrested in seeign this idea evolve ^^

[Nelson Herrmann]

I added you two  to the list. I'm looking for about one or two more,  then I'll start dishing the PMs out.

[Nelson Herrmann]

Check   your inboxes.  We currently consist of  six people. We're still looking for  dedicated roleplayers!

[Barbarccia Valadis]

Pardon my late responses, but i'd be keen on learning more over the project =o

[Natassia Olorin]

Natassia is a young and a bit naive. She will follow orders and do as she's told. I have been looking for some interesting rp, maybe I can join you guys
