Alignments

 * Lawful Good describes people who are compassionate and act with a sense of duty and honor. People in this category include sheriffs, marshals and other law enforcement/people in high positions.
 * Neutral Good describes people who typically act altruistically, without regard for or against lawful precepts such as rules or tradition. A neutral good character has no problems with cooperating with lawful officials, but does not feel beholden to them. In the event that doing the right thing requires the bending or breaking of rules, they do not suffer the same inner conflict that a lawful good character would.
 * Chaotic Good describes people who do what is necessary to bring about change for the better, disdains bureaucratic organizations that get in the way of social improvement, and places a high value on personal freedom, not only for oneself, but for others as well. Chaotic good characters usually intend to do the right thing, but their methods are generally disorganized and often out of sync with the rest of society.
