Gamer Meme

Yoinked from [livejournal.com profile] postvixen
This is actually something that my Brothers and I did a lot in middleschool and highschool...

The basic idea is to make me, Andrew, a character for some game. Give me stats, abilities, alignment, special powers, the works. Then, take this, and post it on your journal -- it's a Meme, after all.

Use whatever game system you like (DnD, WoD, Morrowind, AniMayhem, Unsung, M:tG, City of Heros, GURPS, etc); I know bunches of them, and those I don't I'd be willing to learn.

This harkens back to undergrad, when I used to spend way too much time in the Gamers' Guild office, discussing WoD mythology, but no matter...

I disagree that LG chars need always play by all the rules (or whatever rules they are given, presumably by the government, etc.). I could perfectly well accept a character who is, say, LG but accepts some version of natural law theory (think Aquinas), who considered any positive law that violated the natural law invalid (as, e.g., slavery plausibly would). I think what would make the cut between someone like that who was LG and one who was NG/CG would be whether or not their idea of the natural law was societal or otherwise institutionalized. The Aquinian, who took church doctrine to be more or less identical with natural law would be LG, while a Thoreau type who believed natural law could be found by introspection and reflection would more plausibly be counted as NG or CG.
