I was woundering the other day about how many evil and good char there are
so by doing this poll I hope to found out ^_^
"rules"
pick only one char you most play with on FRC and tell us if they where evil from the start or if they where good from the start

Over the course of my stay here on FRC, I've played somewhere around 14 characters total... 85% of them are evil, 10% are chaotic neutral, and 5% are good. Seeing that I'm a good person in real life, I find it a good way to vent and generally *force* myself into a fantasy setting when I play something that is a polar opposite to myself. Each of my characters, however, no matter how evil, have a reason for being evil and a slight glimmer of good (albeit in most cases very small), hidden somewhere deep within them. Will the glimmer of good appear? Dunno. We'll see... ... but I doubt it.

So I assume we are talking about a single character since I have several which cover different alignments.
Anyway, where is the choice for misunderstood?

I am assuming that the question asks how your character started out as good or evil and not what the character is now. I hope thats how I am supposed to vote. If thats the case then Phelzaron started out as evil but had no alliance with anyone he was a fugitive from Thay. He still had a lot of issues coming from such a place.
It was through the combined efforts of a young adventuring company of Glewien, Areille, and Sonya that he made the transition to good. Eventually his falling in love with Glewien completed that transformation. He still has plenty of problems and a dark lining he may never be rid of which puts him sorta in the category of a dark hero. Gothic Good Necromancers from the Red Wizards of Thay RAWK! Represent!! ;D

Maybe it is the "stage" that NWN is in at this point in it's life, but golly I am astounded at these numbers! Is it possible that everyone played a good character in the OC and their first forays into persistent worlds but now they just want to play to their "hearts content"? This is certainly interesting, and if the numbers continue the way they are, I will wonder if we have been looking at Cormyr all the wrong way. Maybe it should have been a module based on evil players doing evil deeds? We support players in the grey, as well as darker areas of alignment of course, but these numbers seem highly unbalanced at the moment.

Lots of elves to few elves, Lots of good guys to lots of evil guys. I would say that it will swing again.

There isn't an option for the neutral alignments, so I picked 'good'.

There is definitely more good characters especially if you include those that are too weak to make a stand (Aelrik ) teasing of course... Plus if you flip Phel's vote since he is now a pansy.. oops I mean a good guy, we are fairly even. Heh I also think most of the evils have voted... lol.

I believe the swing factor is VERY likely. Remember WAY back when Jacob and Don founded the silver shields. And then Valandil tried to put together the order of the elves and they somewhat bonded the two? At that point I thought besides rift and Melky, I was the third most evil char on the server (or at least acted like it )! Now, it seems like, at least when I log on, every other char is a banite. I think also there is just a lot of bias based off of who uses the forums. There are a lot of quiet people who play FRC but just dont say anything (why i dont know). And i wouldnt say there are a LOT of neutral people, or at least I just might not be interacting with the right crowd. I will say though that the shift of players alignments can have an extreme shift of power. For instance. If i am a good guy and there are a lot of good guys on the server, I have a lot of options open to me of party members, and thus it makes it MUCH easier to go adventuring. Likewise with the bad guys. Now the idea for neutrals would be that, "HEY i can adventure with anyone because I just dont care!" Well I wish that were the case, but it always ends up like a fight with a girlfriend: Ranan: "I saw you with her! Dont lie to me! I know you have been cheating!" Hroth:"Come on baby, Sharita meant nothing to me! It was a one time thing, we were just going to go farm some gold!" Ranan: "No, no more lies, I want you out of cormyr by dinner time!" Yeah that's usually how it goes down.

*looks at Quad's post and laughs*
Anyway, yes, it shifts from time to time. So taking a poll isn't going to be very conclusive. Of the nine characters I have in the vault, 3 are evil..(yes, I have evil characters....). My main PC hasn't been around much simply because when I do log on, there's usually just the Banites and the thieves to play with....not folks Shari tends to hang out with.
But my main alternates are good guys too..and well...they find a party occassionally. I just find them more fun to play, than to play an evil character whose main goal is ruin the fun for everyone else, rather than have fun and help other folks out and everyone gets to have a good time.....*shrugs* Just my view, which is in no way representative of anything except what I think.
The bad guys have thier new guild hall which is on par with the Taj Mahal, while the good guys just had their teeth kicked in, so naturally there will be a shift to evil for a little while, til the good guys get back on their feet and do something.

9 pc's? Do they all fit the name scheme? My first pc here was an evil rogue, Annita, but she didn't last long- 2nd level. Celindra was born then- a neutral PC who promoted good because there was so much evil, but still, she knew balance. She tried to become a Shield and finally made it, but Jacob kicked her out because her heart just wasn't in it as far as he was concerned. Garistan is my first fully functioning PC. He started out neutral and now he's good.

My first pc here was an evil rogue, Annita, but she didn't last long- 2nd level. Hahahaha! My first character on FRC (or NwN at all for that matter) was an evil wizard named Var Xyss. One of his first tasks was to kill Annita to prove his loyalty to Raven and Fist (waaay back in the day - this was almost exactly 1 year ago now) Booyah...what a rush of power that was, coming out of invisibility and bazzaap! (rod of frost) *stab stab* (even though as I recall she was raised and later fled the realm after bearing witness to what was it a pair of balor attacks or something like that?) hmm. I still have Var in the vault. hmm. wonder what he's been up too all this time.

Boy now that I think of Var it reminds me of Talus' old character Nular - who was then as I recall, an aspiring wizard seeking to join with the Silver Shields... I remember at the time I had already realized I was in 'the wrong crowd' with the followers of Cyric and was attempting an elaborate deception to try and cause the Shields and Cyricists to destroy each other in a massive battle. Well. That all fell apart. Heh. Hmm. Haven't thought about that in a long time. Fun stuff. There is definitely more good characters especially if you include those that are too weak to make a stand (Aelrik ) teasing of course.. Bwahahahahahahaa - Shuddup! ;D ;D

Suppose it doesn't matter now- Raven told me in a tell afterwards that he was hoping Annita would kill you in self defence and thus rid him of you! Yeah, Annita had seen way too many demons- 2 balors at Tina's wedding along with half a dozen succubi, 1 balor summoned by Raven, and 2 more suddenly summoned in Isinhold one night. She got tired of running away whenever someone summoned one (which seemed like every other day!) so she went back to Luskan where she only has to deal with cutthroats and thieves!

Geez.. you make it seem like there are hoards of Banites on the server! Can I help it if Ranan is so charming the masses follow him everywhere? Seriously there is only 4.5 Banites in the group... (Jorban only counts as half because he is not very bright lol)... it just so happens a couple of us are addict and have to play practically everyday! Ranan: "I saw you with her! Dont lie to me! I know you have been cheating!" Hroth:"Come on baby, Sharita meant nothing to me! It was a one time thing, we were just going to go farm some gold!" Ranan: "No, no more lies, I want you out of cormyr by dinner time!" ROFL.. thanks, work has been hell today I needed a laugh! By the way that would never happen... Ranan is seeing Shari on the side so you wouldnt have a chance! ;D
