People sometimes put a D&D alignment in their bio to describe themselves. But I've never seen Lawful Evil.

Lawful Evil calls itself Lawful Neutral ;)


<br>quoting source (reddit user oneirical):</p><p>Explanations (extremely subjective, not at all fact-based):</p><p>Lawful Good: I put Neutral Good here, as most characters who follow this alignment generally just strive to be wholesome and be a friendly presence to all. I feel like NG is the alignment most likely to show compassion and mercy for their enemies, and to be the closest thing resembling a sensible human being.</p><p>Neutral Good: True Neutral was placed in this spot for being an alignment that mostly promotes "doing what one thinks is right" and avoiding meaningless conflict. True Neutral characters are often excellent characters with a dualistic nature that makes them much more developed than the average villain or hero.</p><p>Chaotic Good: While difficult to pull off, a well executed Lawful Evil character will often be a very significant addition to any good story. Their villainous, intelligent schemes make room for a lot of surprising plot twists and put the protagonists in interesting moral dilemmas.</p><p>Lawful Neutral: Neutral Evil characters often just feel... basic. They will follow the stereotypical "Villain Checklist", and exist purely to be hated by the audience and defeated by the hero. This is not necessarily a bad thing; after all, bashing an evil-for-the-sake-of-evil BBEG is always satisfying.</p><p>True Neutral: Lawful Good is the "default" alignment. Many players' first character will be a Lawful Good, noble individual. Lawful Good protagonists often have very little flaws, and, similarly to the NE villain, exist purely to be loved by the audience and to defeat the antagonist. It's a traditional, successful trope that leaves the way open for deeper character development down the road.</p><p>Chaotic Neutral: Chaotic Good characters have an unhinged personality that somehow always manages to bring them to do the right thing. In stories, CG individuals can range from cheap comic relief to genuinely hilarious, memorable characters. They even have a subreddit dedicated to their unpredictable whims, r/chaoticgood.</p><p>Lawful Evil: The "righteous", no compromises, incapable of independent thought member of the party everyone seems to dislike. While I do believe there are ways to correctly create a Lawful Neutral character, it is extremely difficult to pull off, and will often result in a shallow, predictable protagonist/antagonist.</p><p>Neutral Evil: Chaotic Evil seems like that alignment one would pick if they simply wanted to ruin someone's campaign for the sake of being a jerk. They will violently hack and slash their way through any carefully designed narrative thread, and completely disrupt pacing.</p><p>Chaotic Evil: Chaotic Neutral is that alignment that makes me tremble in fear when I see it on a character sheet. Unlike the CE character, who will at least strive for something selfish like power or wealth, the CN individual commits chaos for the sake of chaos. They have no interest in the story, and are very likely to kill anything or anyone without remorse. It is the iconic "murderhobo" alignment.
