Robert may be a poor and often lazy king, but he clearly has a solid belief in the rule of law. Jack Sparrow is probably the best example of a truly chaotic neutral character in popular culture.

"Chaotic neutral characters like to indulge in everything. This is the insurgent, the con-man, gambler, and high roller; the uncommitted freebooter seeking nothing more than self-gratification...According to chaotic neutrals, laws and rules infringe on personal freedom and were meant to be broken. This character is always looking for the best deal, and will work with good, neutral, or evil to get it; as long as he comes out of the situation on top. The chaotic neutral is constantly teetering between good and evil, rebelling, and bending the law to fit his needs."

Tyrion is True Neutral? Varys is Neutral Good? LOL WUT.

Stark never questions King Baratheon whether it be a request to kill his daughter's pet wolf

Mega fail, particularly the example cited. Robert appeased Cersei by ordering Lady killed, which Ned argued with, and Ned ultimately volunteered to do the deed rather than leave it to the headsman.

Other examples? Ned challenging Robert's order to have the Targaryens executed. And then there's the little matter of Jon Snow, if the theories hold up.

that was written by someone that doesn't really understand the alignments of D&D (any version). Most of those are very wrong.



/nerd war!

Either the author doesn't understand the alignments, didn't real the books too closely, or both. Littlefinger would be Chaotic Neutral/Evil - nothing is sacred, survive and prosper by any means. Especially by creating chaos and profiting by it.

Now Stannis, he gets his own alignment: Lawful. No good, no evil, no morality, just plain Lawful. Hell, he'd probably berate the Inevitables for not following some obscure rule...

This may be the nerdiest link I've seen on Fark in months...so, I clicked the motherfer right away.

There is now Robert Baratheon was Chaotic Neutral, I would swing him in the Lawful Neutral with slight LE tendencies. One can be a hedonist and still hold high regard for law and honor. Joffrey, Lawful Evil, he comprehends power, uses it to his advantage, but still an evil little shiat. The only truly "Chaotic" character was Drogo, pretty much the personification of Chaotic Neutral with good tendencies.

Abner Doon: I dunno, are we talking in the books here? Both or their genereal plans and goals seem fairly clear by the end of the last book I thought.

Littlefinger's isn't necessarily. And although we got insight into Varys's immediate scheme with Griff and Co., it's not clear whether that is his endgame or just a means to an end - much less his motive for any of it truly is.

knightofargh: GRRM is still Pedantic Hungry. I'm still amazed that he's reskinned the War of the Roses and managed to sell it as "fantasy".

I, for one, remember the chapter of my history book when Henry Tudor's dragonriders laid waste to the Richard III's red sorceresses just in time to defend England and Wales from the ice zombie invasion from north of Hadrian's Wall.

Spoilery - I'm thinking that Varys's plan has something to do with R'Hollor and The Others. He saw Things That Should Not Be Seen when he was first cut - he's the type of character who would investigate more, he could have learned something about the big confrontation coming, and he's using the Targaryens (sp) in that conflict. Now, who's side he's on (aside his own) remains to be seen.

Littlefinger is Chaotic Neutral.

He only works within the law because he has to. He's not loyal to anyone but himself. The fact that he runs a brothel should be proof enough that he is not "Lawful".

He fits many of the characteristics listed in the Boobies, and for the ones he doesn't, its simply because his survival instict, or his traumatic love past cause confliction there.

Mike Chewbacca: Warrener: Anyone that when given a choice between keeping the acknowledged heir on the throne or throwing the kindom into a bloody civil war with Winter coming sure as hell isn't good.

Or, leaving an evil, illegitimate git like Joffrey on the throne could be seen as a greater threat to Westeros than civil war. Besides, he did his best to undo the damage, but Joffrey wasn't having any of it. it was JOFFREY who started the civil war, not Ned Stark.

No, Catelyn did it. Stupid Tully.

No, Bran did it. Stupid peeping-Stark.

Cat's advice to go to King's Landing preceded the Bran incident. Again, stupid farking Tully.
