#(Lawful is still a spectrum. Like blond which ranges from almost brown ash blond to almost white platinum blond)

I'm amazed how Akechi, who's Lawful as they come, managed to change his alignment... to Lawful. It's a different flavor of Lawful and thus a notable shift but still, from Lawful to Lawful, bro. (In the way I use DnD alignments anyway, YMMV if your interpretation of Lawful/Chaotic varies)

#persona spoilers #persona 5 spoilers #I only stepped into the 6th Palace for a second so I'm still far from done #But like. My Lawful means either a strict adherence to laws OR a very strict personal moral code #Akechi moved from the law following version to strong moral code #I love Akechi he's both a great character and a super nice person. But. Lawful characters can be a chore. #Like. The medium lawful ones are fine #(Lawful is still a spectrum. Like blond which ranges from almost brown ash blond to almost white platinum blond) #But Akechi is on the very lawful end of lawful #Though I think he's slowly moving a bit towards neutral. Now I love him as a Lawful character but he could stand being a *bit* less lawful #And yes I'm aware most people use Lawful to mean just ''Follows the law'' BUT #Those people are usually inconsistent bc Lawful Evil exists and they usually also use Evil as well. Evil. #And having an Evil character/NPC who follows the law is tough so those people usually have Lawful Good following all laws and #Lawful Evil following their own laws/moral code instead of the local laws. And that makes no sense to me #Bc it's two different axes and whether it's Good/Evil shouldn't change the Lawful/Chaotic bits. #I also use Good/Evil a bit differently bc that's just a WEIRD scale. I use it as altruistic/egoistic instead #Which also allows Chaotic Evil characters to be more than just murder machines #I don't even care much for DnD but I apparently DO have Opinions(TM) on the alignment chart
