give me a Jing Yuan fueled by spite. give me a Jing Yuan whose words absolutely drip with venomous sarcasm. give me a Jing Yuan who speaks with fangs bared. give me a Jing Yuan who looks down at you like he just might be considering how to best rip into your throat and tear it out. give me a Jing Yuan so fucking angry the static in the air causes metal to spark.

Jing Yuan is so good and so generous and so kind, give me a Jing Yuan that shows more of his negative aspects bc ohhhhh my god he is so done with everything I think he deserves to snap a little I want a scary Jing Yuan I want a bitter Jing Yuan do u get me

legit tho, i think scar's fatal flaw is that he. okay stay with me here i will explain this in a sec but i think scar's fatal flaw is that he trusts too easily

because scar is. okay claps hands. scar is a lawful neutral. this is so much more interesting than so many people think because okay. 

 essentially — lawful, in dnd terms, has never meant ‘follows the law.’ it can certainly mean that for some characters, if that’s their personal law, but lawful just means a set of rules that the character has decided to follow. laws of society, laws of personal nature, all lawful means is a set of rules that is followed. this is very commonly misconstrued in the case of lawful good and lawful neutral. lawful means 'follows a set of rules,' not 'follows THE set of rules.'

 let’s say a character leaves a bag of gold on the shelf everytime they go to the market. a lawful good character would leave that bag of gold because they believe it is the right thing to do, even if it goes against greater societal rules. a chaotic good character would leave that bag of gold because it goes against the greater set of societal rules. they’re both doing this for a good reason, it is just how they feel personally connected that defines their alignment. morality determined the good to evil scale, and connection determined the lawful to chaotic scale.

scar’s connection to his alignment is his connection (or lack thereof) to people.

scar. scar right. he's a heart on his sleeve, trusts too easily guy, because he genuinely believes people will always want to help him, or that he's in the right. flowers, friendship passes, the fact that he thought his creeper explosion was an accident. but, because he's following this own set of rules he made up for himself, no one can trust him in return. no one gets the rules when they play scar's game, so no one wants to trust what he's selling, and its so interesting, because scar is a guy with genuinely good intentions, but no one believes him. he's kinda like impulses* anti-thesis or something.

*(impulse's anti-thesis in the fact in that they share the same character (good intentions, no one trusts them) but get played entirely differently)
