I tied with neutral and chaotic good, which I feel is pretty accurate. I'm having trouble coming to grips with the (current) accuracy of my husband's assessment. Neutral evil? According to that site...
The Neutral Evil Code
The personal code of a neutral evil character may look like this:
1. You shall lie to advance yourself.
2. You shall harm the innocent to advance yourself.
3. You shall kill to advance yourself.
4. You shall not aid the weak.
5. You shall honor those who are stronger.
6. You shall follow the law only to advance yourself.
7. You shall betray friends, family, community, and nation to advance yourself.
8. You shall not aid those who protect the weak.
9. You shall not show mercy to enemies.
10. You shall seek unlimited power over others.
Ten Neutral Evil Signs of Weakness
Likewise, a neutral evil character may consider the following as signs of weakness. A sign of weakness indicates that the character is straying from the cruel tenets of the neutral evil philosophy. This list is given in the order of least severe infraction to most severe.
1. Failing to show malice or inflict pain upon an innocent when it would be pleasurable to do so.
2. Not challenging a clearly weak leader for leadership.
3. Keeping your word when doing so would interfere with personal gain.
4. Refusing to commit cruel act that would harm your enemy or rival when appropriate.
5. Making a sacrifice to help another when not important to your survival.
6. Failing to commit cruel acts that are in your best interest.
7. Refusing to kill for personal gain or wealth.
8. Turning down a chance to gain power or wealth.
9. Showing mercy to one who is opposed to you or your cause.
10. Aiding the servants of Goodness.
It's interesting, though, because this is actually probably an accurate picture of his alignment when he was a teenager. He was involved in violent gangs and committed many thefts. Then he a few several angry years as a drunk berating people on the internet. In fact, #1 on the "signs of weakness" list almost makes me chuckle, because that indeed used to be one of his pastimes. He's even lamented the loss of the joy he used to get being snarky all the time. He also once told me that I taught him that it was possible to get pleasure from helping people and being nice and doing good. So, while *maybe* 1/5th of those might be applicable to him today, most of them are decidedly NOT accurate, and I find it interesting that his self-image still reflects this self and not his current self. The second highest he got was neutral good, like me, which makes sense because I see us as very alike. But my personal assessment putting it all together I believe would label him, within the confines of the system, as a chaotic neutral.
