Neutral Good-Updated

"I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong"

-Frederick Douglass

And now we come to the second of the nine alignments, namely Neutral Good. Characters who fit this alignment are most concerned with doing the right thing and helping others, and while they do not set out to break the rules or go against authority, they also see no problem whatsoever with doing so if they feel it is necessary. Basically, where a Lawful Good character would only break the rules if they felt it was absolutely necessary, a Neutral Good character simply does not care if they happen to break any rules in the process of doing what's right. They just don't set out to break the law either, as they do respect and recognize authority to a degree. They just don’t feel bound to it or obligated to obey it at every turn. For Neutral Good, doing the right thing is the most important thing, regardless of law or chaos.

  • Has some ties to the US government but also clearly prefers to go his own way.

  • The Daniel Craig version, who disobeys orders he doesn't like but also operates within the system to a degree as a member of MI6.

  • Captain of the Enterprise but also a man who breaks the rules (like that pesky Prime Directive) quite often.

  • Post-Character Development when he starts letting emotions dictate his actions a little more.

  • The World' Greatest Detective who's biggest concern is solving the case.

  • While he's usually seen as text-book Chaotic Good there are times when he is legitimately Neutral Good, as he is often shown to respect the authority of Richard the Lionheart and in many versions of the tale only becomes an outlaw out of necessity and before that was an Earl. So yes, he is usually Chaotic Good, but not always.

  • Depicted as a very pure-hearted and kind individual, but also one who is willing to first defy her father Elrond and ride out to come to Frodo and Aragorn's aid, and then defy her father again when she chooses to remain in Middle-Earth with Aragorn.

  • After going through Character Development, namely when he realizes that he can no longer be neutral and takes action against the Ents, leading them to battle against Saruman.

  • A peaceful, nature-loving chap who also prefers to keep to himself. But in spite of that he is still a benevolent figure like his fellow Istari Gandalf and is just as committed to stopping the forces of Sauron/The Necromancer.

  • The archetypal wizard who works with the good powers and authorities of Middle-Earth in the fight against evil but clearly does not feel bound to any of them. In fact he works outside of them as often as he does with them. Ultimately Gandalf is most concerned with stopping Sauron and his armies and keeping Middle-Earth safe from them.

  • In contrast to the Hobbits of the the actual Lord of the Rings trilogy, Bilbo I feel is more Neutral Good, being an everyman thrust into a big adventure and doing his best to follow his conscience while on it.

  • Typically classified as being this, in contrast to the Dwarves being Lawful Good and the Elves Chaotic Good.

  • He does work for a government organization and respects his foster father's authority to a degree, but not always. He has disobeyed both him and the BPRD int he past and also operates outside of the society that does not accept him. Honestly I'm tempted to list him as Chaotic Good, which I may just do anyway. Some characters can be in-between two alignments after all.

  • As opposed to his more Lawful Good predecessor, the second Nite Owl Dan Dreiberg is most concerned with being the classic superhero and doing what he can to protect the innocent. An idealism that is sadly unrewarded by the end of the story.

  • Just like the Batman himself, especially since Alfred does go out of his way to protect Batman's identity from those who would try to expose it.
