Sounds interesting. Reminds me of something that was on over on this side of the Pond a couple of years ago; a dramatisation of the 1066 invasions. (Yes, plural. a bunch of Vikings softened up the English before William the Bastard got his feet wet in the Channel.) As far as I could tell, apart from a bit of dramatic licence, Harald Hardrada's men behaved pretty much historically accurately. Although IIRC in this one, the girl with the sharp pointy toys was a bit more Chaotic than Lawful; definitely not an Utena-type... -- Unable to save the day: File is read-only. |

It's just that (as we've seen) she'll not only ignore unjust law, she can get downright chaotic when confronted with it. :) --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Ah, law and chaos. The axis of the old D&D alignment system that a lot of people I know seem to want to misinterpret. The thing to remember about law is a person can be Lawful with respect to their own moral code, utterly separate from what the legal standards of the area are. It's not as if Utena, or anyone else in her circle, abandon their sense of morality just because they're in Earth Alliance space; quite the opposite, in fact, because the evil and oppression they run into is so much more prevalent there--and made even worse by it being dolled up in a veneer of legality. What is personally Lawful and the temporal law are not the same--and neither are related to what is -right-. --------
