True Neutral
True neutral is when someone prefers to stay out of the way when good and evil forces clash! Though destiny calls them to assist either side, they aren't ready to choose for they have other worries and issues to handle. Though uncertain, when the forces are regathering strength; that is when they must make their decision or just say "Good? Bad? I'm the guy with the gun!" Some neutrals are gentilian as in having something they believe that comforts them though they do often question things. Hindus, Taoists, Shintoists, Shamanists and Wiccas believe they are rewarded for niether good nor evil acts but rewarded by how they care for the world!
"I don't know how I want things to be, nor do I care about deities. I've got other matters to worry about right now!"
True Neutral- A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.
