Admittedly, such things would require massive trigger warnings and behind cut tags and such if it were somehow allowed, obviously! I have no great interest in playing a serial killing rapist who thinks hate crimes are a jolly good time. This is one of the reasons why I am a big fan of an outright open "Not all characters are suitable to this game, avoid these types".

It had me interested partly on the premise of an early-era DnD red dragon, which I am not apping for obvious reasons. Such a creature would be INCAPABLE of being Lawful Good, as outlined by the morality of the game, without divine intervention she would always be Chaotic Evil and incapable of being anything else. In a setting such as this, she wouldn't fly as a character because that includes torching villages and rampaging and hoarding and such, but her nature as a red dragon is inherent, thus judging her by morals she's incapable of complying with would be ... immoral, as she'd be doomed to fail, and torturing her before her failure would be pointless cruelty, rendering those who placed her in such an afterlife setting the ones not complying with their own tenants of morality..

Or the setting encourages her to be the very best red dragon she's capable of being, as her nature and Goddess dictate, in all that entails...

It was a brief, but interesting (to me) thought. But not a workable one in such a setting as this. :)

Thank you again!
