Alessa: good or evil [spoilers for SH1 and SH3]

[alone in the town]

We're well aware of his behavior at SHC, but he's not breaking a rule right now.

We have asked you before to let us handle these things.

I'm not here to start any name calling,or being disrespectfull to anyone.I'm just here to talk and debate,and since you know who am I,I'm just being more civil this time around (also doesn't help being called names)not saying any names.but like I said my intention are not to start anything bad.

Ugh. I hate it when people put morality in simple terms as if they were DND alignments. "Is she good, evil, or neutral?" She's none of the above, she serves her own interests and probably feels justified in her actions. That makes her a pretty good character in my book. Don't dumb her down.

Alessa is totally Chaotic Neutral by your own description.

D&D encompasses all things.

D&D alignment systems are stupid. The term "chaotic neutral" conveys precisely nothing about Alessa's motivations. Her actions aren't chaotic because she has a specific goal in mind, and she's also pretty far from "neutral."

[AuraTwilight]

That's not what "Chaos" is about in D&D, though. :l

And by your own designation she's 'neutral'.

This has gotten dumber and dumber.

I feel like Donnie Darko. Someone tell me where Alessa fits in the fear and love lifeline.

I never thought of Alessa as good or evil. I mean, yeah she didn't WANT to be some demon possessed mother of god type being, but the fact of the matter is.... she was. She did evil things, tormented people (who may or may not have deserved it), but she did love her father (even if he was a dumbass).

Basically the answer is that she didn't want to be a villian, but she was forced into the role, so there she was.

In SH3, she had more or less forgotten who she was and basically took on a whole other personality (of Heather) and then she finally remembered who she was and the two personalities kinda merged together... she didn't become her true self.

In SH Origins, she was only 7 so I more or less consider her to have been just a brat at that age.

In short, I don't consider Alessa to be good or evil.... just HOT

Wow... your post was pretty serious-sounding, and then that.

And wait, did you just call Harry a dumbass?

Haha. Yeah, I actually found Alessa to be my type of girl, and for some crazy sick reason, I had an attraction to her the whole time.

And yeah, Harry is a dumbass. He'd be like "What is this" When it's blatantly obvious what it is, and such. Though James has found a way to be dumber than Harry was somehow.

I'm just gonna read the first page and respond to old posts for no reason.

Everything she does is to prevent God from being birthed and ostensibly causing a world-ending apocalypse. I'd say that makes up a hundred times over for any morally-questionable means she uses to prevent it from happening. Her ends certainly justify the means, and that places her so far in the 'good' camp that I'm amazed this question exists.

Didn't Kaufmann also try to stop the end of the world in some of the endings?

That wasn't Alessa. She no longer existed at that time. Besides, it would've been very out of character and reckless of her to give the God another chance at being born. Sure, she might not have know if was still within that child, but any chance, however small, is still too much to risk to take.

Risk that Harry also took.
