Chapter 4: Disposition
EN w/NN: Thoroughly indifferent to morality
and usually emotions, these characters chase
objectivity and consistency, except on occasion when
the system or the ethical code functions better overall
if an occasional inconsistency occurs. A judge who
habitually flips a coin on tough decisions may be an
example of EN w/NN.
EN w/NI: Overall, objectivity and consistency
are important to these characters, though occasionally
the appearance of this importance is
handy, because the self may be served while seeming
to be thoroughly ethical. A militiaman who is
generally respected, but habitually pockets the money
or a portion recovered from thieves, is an example
of EN w/NI.
EN w/EI: Holding objectivity and consistency
above all other things, these characters often
have preferences for immorality, when it does not
conflict. A respected judge who will “throw the
book” at those disliked is an example of EN w/EI.
EI w/EN: These characters typically twist
ethics and laws to their advantage, but occasionally
they are compelled to be thoroughly objective. A
barrister who has been known to turn away clients,
refusing to defend them because they think the law
should give them what they deserve, is an example
of EI w/EN.
EI w/NN: These characters twist ethics to
their advantage on a daily basis, but in rare circumstances
are willing even to betray ethics for something
they inwardly feel is more important. Barristers
who lose their jobs because on rare occasion
they are willing to break the law for something they
internally deem needs to be done are examples of
EI w/NN.
EI w/NI: These characters often take advantage
of ethics and morals, of laws and others in
order to satisfy themselves. A barrister who defends
a client equally, regardless of whether the client is
innocent or guilty, and then afterwards, violates the
trust of their client by financially taking advantage
of them as well is an example of EI w/NI.
NM w/EM: Different from simply supporting
the greatest good for the greatest number,
characters with this disposition often support ethics,
provided the ethics don’t conflict with morals.
These characters want to be true to themselves and
have consistent behavior, but if a contradiction
emerges from this, their own sense of right and
wrong is more important than any ethical code.
NM w/EN: Seeming self-contradictory and
often called hypocrites, these characters hold strong
views, usually in favor of morality, regardless of ethics,
though depending on the topic or circumstance,
sometimes in favor of ethics regardless of morality.
Most characters don’t understand these seemingly
sudden shifts and wish these characters would just
choose one or the other and stick to it.
NM w/NN: Though these characters usually
favor the concept of a universal good and seek
to be internally moral, occasionally and for whatever
reason, they stray from morality.
NM w/UN: Though these characters usually
favor the concept of a universal good and seek
to be internally moral, occasionally and for whatever
reason, they find solace in random and unethical
actions while disregarding morality.
NM w/UM: Always in pursuit of morality
and the greatest good, these characters will stray
toward unethical behavior to achieve it on occasion
if necessary.
NN w/EM: Predominantly, these characters
live in an ethical and moral balance. On occasion
and for whatever reason, these characters seek
morality and attempt to follow and support strict
ethical codes.
NN w/EN: Predominantly, these characters
live in an ethical and moral balance. On occasion
and for whatever reason, these characters recognize
the value of objectivity and consistency in
their actions.
NN w/EI: Predominantly, these characters
live in an ethical and moral balance. On occasion
and for whatever reason, these characters oppose
morality, but enjoy doing so by using ethics to their
advantage and being consistent and objective about
their immorality.
