So I’m making a villain heavily based on Simeon from Octopath Traveler for just a text based roleplay with friends. Based on this information I have for him, what alignment would you say he is? His name is Lysandros btw
Backstory: Older brother of two. When he was around 13, he was sent to work at the Aegir Manor as a gardener in order to keep an eye on them as Dorothea was investigating the fake Edelgard situation and was planning to bring it to light. This first murder that Lysandros had to preform was on Dorothea herself, someone he found to be quite kind and considerate. He found Ferdinand to be nice too and like a second family. So of course he was a bit hesitant at first, but he ended up killing Dorothea while she was alone in the bathroom before fleeing out a window and getting changed into clean clothes so no one would suspect him. He definitely felt guilty at first. But after the funeral, he felt different. He thought that Ferdinand giving the speech about his dead wife was a thing of beauty. Solo grew up a sickly child and watching both Ferdinand and Solo go through their lives continued to cultivate this feeling that suffering is beautiful. Of course he knew people would be weirded out by his feelings, so he faked a friendly and big brotherly persona towards Solo. Visiting her whenever she was sick or just sad about something. Pretending to be a shoulder to cry on for her when in reality his sick obsession with seeing her miserable grew stronger. After the events at The Officer’s Academy and Solo and Ferdinand were placed under house arrest, Lysandros offered to help Ferdinand to allow Solo to escape. Ferdinand died during the process, fighting off the guards as poison from one of their weapons flowed through his veins. Lysandros faked a life threatening injury on their way out and pretended to pass out from blood loss when the two stumbled upon bandits while fleeing, bandits which he purposely got them caught by.
Outlook: he views everything like one big drama, enjoying watching the lows of a person’s life, but also either their triumph or fall into despair. He views death in the same way a person view’s the death of their favorite character.
Emotions: he can hide his true emotions with an act of being normal. However behind the ruse is a twisted individual who enjoys seeing drama in a person’s life
I would've said Neutral Evil/Chaotic Neutral because this seems entirely about themself, but the more I read the more I agree with others' ideas of impulse and the sheer anarchy of their escapades. So I'd say Chaotic-Evil.
Zero is the most important number in D&D: Session Zero sets the boundaries and the tone; Rule Zero dictates the Dungeon Master (DM) is the final arbiter; and Zero D&D is better than Bad D&D.
