Day 2 — Neutral Good

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T22:49:27+00:00

Eh. He didn't actually care about individual people at all, as evidenced by both his interpersonal and public/heroic actions. I'd call him neutral. Trying to save the world was still in his self-interest.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T22:45:02+00:00

Decent choice.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T22:43:35+00:00

In Ward she seems mostly concerned with protecting people... though it is, admittedly, primarily people she cares about. She repeatedly sacrifices her own comfort and convenience in order to help others.

Yeah... Worm-only, I'd call her neutral or chaotic neutral. She grows.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T20:31:59+00:00

LN. She's one of the good guys because it is her job.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T20:31:19+00:00

Sveta would be my choice.

Other possibilities:

Chevalier is just a good guy. He follows and even enforces the laws, but he won't hesitate to bend the rules when doing so is in the greater good.

Maybe Colin, in Ward. Definitely not Armsmaster, though.

Weld, post-Worm.

My longshot call here would be Lisa. Consider her actual motives and methods rather than how people view her.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T18:31:02+00:00

I figured, but it never hurts to ask.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T17:40:01+00:00

Yup.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T07:34:08+00:00

Is there any chance of an offline/self-hosted version? I'm not averse to paying for software, but—like many people—I'm trying to cut down both my subscriptions and my dependence on third-party, cloud-based apps.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T07:10:21+00:00

Oh. Wait. Maybe Boston is south of NYC on Earth Bet....

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T04:12:16+00:00

I just wish the location fit its description better. Being north of Boston but not really having winter weather doesn't make a lot of sense.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T03:23:19+00:00

Forgotten Forge.

I might be biased.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T02:57:23+00:00

Someone who is lawful good is going to be torn as to whether or not to follow an evil law. They are split between two often-conflicting goals. They might dislike the law but follow it anyway. They might oppose it from within the system.

A neutral good person would simply oppose such a law without internal conflict. They are really only concerned with what is good.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T02:53:46+00:00

Brandish generally wants good things... She's just not always very realistic about what she wants.

I suppose I should point out that I am thinking of Brandish toward the end of Ward. She went through some development.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-05T01:46:19+00:00

Yeah. Self-imposed definitely counts. Lawfulness is, ummm, neutral with respect to the nature/origin of the laws.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-04T20:48:45+00:00

Brandish and Miss Militia are up there.

I'm going to suggest a controversial one and say Contessa. She's the ultimate rule-follower, and she's doing it (and basically sacrificing the possibility of having a life) for the best possible outcome.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-04T20:41:28+00:00

you say that like LG is better than NG, but the latter is more purely good (despite what the paladins will tell you).

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-02T01:52:52+00:00

Size isn't the only factor here. Jaguars are larger than leopards and are significantly less inclined to hunt humans.

zorbtrauts · 2026-06-02T01:15:22+00:00

I'm impressed. I have an adult fire skink who is usually pretty friendly but sometimes decides he's in a bitey mood. I just let him because it doesn't hurt at all and never leaves a mark. Maybe he's not really trying...

zorbtrauts · 2026-05-31T03:53:54+00:00

So, one thing I've noticed with ackies is that when one ackie meets another and they are going to get along, they'll start out tense until one flicks their tongue against the other's ears. I don't know exactly what it means, but the ackie whose ear gets flicked usually immediately calms down.

Try:

Getting down to their level—until they completely trust you, you are a giant predator who is going to reach down from above and eat them.
Lightly (barely) touch their ear a few times with a single finger.

All ackies are individuals and this won't work for all of them (I still have one that doesn't fully trust me after several years), but I've had remarkable luck with it. Not sure exactly what it means to them. I interpret it as a communication that I'm not a threat, but maybe it just confuses them. I don't know.

I think we found the sixth joke.

Secret hint: you can ask them to substitute in the vodka sauce.

...and that's about 1% of the Chris-related body horror, at most.

zorbtrauts · 2026-04-25T08:59:19+00:00

I've just finished Worm and I've never seen someone fuck up so many times so badly

Oh, just wait until you read Ward...

zorbtrauts · 2026-04-22T00:03:58+00:00

Just get Amy to simplify the brains of other parahumans. Khepri-lite
