Nothing, I suppose. There's no need to answer if you're not comfortable with it. Most people here have a good idea of each other's ages. There's a poll about them from time to time.
I have a feeling you're a teenager, or in your early twenties? But you may not be at all.

K, well here's the alignments for ya one more time:Lawful GoodLawful Good is known as the "Saintly" or "Crusader" alignment. A Lawful Good character typically acts with compassion, and always with honor and a sense of duty. A Lawful Good nation would consist of a well-organized government that works for the benefit of its citizens. Lawful Good characters include righteous knights, paladins, and most dwarves. Lawful Good creatures include the noble golden dragons.
Lawful Good characters, especially paladins, may sometimes find themselves faced with the dilemma of whether to obey law or good when the two conflictfor example, upholding a sworn oath when it would lead innocents to come to harmor conflicts between two orders, such as between their religious law and the law of the local ruler.
In the Complete Scoundrel sourcebook Batman, Dick Tracy and Indiana Jones are cited as examples of lawful good characters.[9] Lawful Good outsiders are known as Archons.
[edit] Neutral GoodNeutral Good is known as the "Benefactor" alignment. A Neutral Good character is guided by his conscience and typically acts altruistically, without regard for or against Lawful precepts such as rules or tradition. A Neutral Good character has no problems with co-operating with lawful officials, but does not feel beholden to them. In the event that doing the right thing requires the bending or breaking of rules, they do not suffer the same inner conflict that a Lawful Good character would.
Examples of Neutral Good characters include Zorro and Spider-Man.[9] The Neutral Good outsiders are known as Guardinals.
[edit] Chaotic GoodChaotic Good is known as the "Beatific," "Rebel," or "Cynic" alignment. A Chaotic Good character favors change for a greater good, disdains bureaucratic organizations that get in the way of social improvement, and places a high value on personal freedom, not only for oneself, but for others as well. They always intend to do the right thing, but their methods are generally disorganized and often out of alignment with the rest of society. They may create conflict in a team if they feel they are being pushed around, and often view extensive organization and planning as pointless, preferring to improvise.
Robin Hood, Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica, and Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly are examples of Chaotic Good individuals.[9] Eladrin are the outsider race representing Chaotic Good.
[edit] Lawful NeutralLawful Neutral is called the "Judge" or "Disciplined" alignment. A Lawful Neutral character typically believes strongly in Lawful concepts such as honor, order, rules and tradition, and often follows a personal code. A Lawful Neutral society would typically enforce strict laws to maintain social order, and place a high value on traditions and historical precedent. Examples of Lawful Neutral characters might include a soldier who always follows orders, a judge or enforcer that adheres mercilessly to the word of the law, and a disciplined monk.
Characters of this alignment are neutral with regard to good and evil. This does not mean that Lawful Neutral characters are amoral or immoral, or do not have a moral compass, but simply that their moral considerations come a distant second to what their code, tradition, or law dictates. They typically have a strong ethical code, but it is primarily guided by their system of belief, not by a commitment to good or evil.
James Bond, Odysseus, and Sanjuro from Yojimbo are considered by Complete Scoundrel as Lawful Neutral.[9] Three exemplars of Lawful Neutral outsiders exist. These are the Formians, the Inevitables and the Modrons.
[edit] NeutralNeutral alignment, also referred to as True Neutral or Neutral Neutral, is called the "Undecided" or "Nature's" alignment. This alignment represents Neutral on both axes, and tends not to feel strongly towards any alignment. A farmer whose primary overriding concern is to feed his family is of this alignment. Most animals, lacking the capacity for moral judgment, are of this alignment since they are guided by instinct rather than conscious decision. Many roguish characters who play all sides to suit themselves are also of this alignment (such as a weapon merchant with no qualms selling his wares to both sides of a war for a profit).
Some Neutral characters, rather than feeling undecided, are committed to a balance between the alignments. They may see good, evil, law and chaos as simply prejudices and dangerous extremes. Mordenkainen is one such character who takes this concept to the extreme, dedicating himself to a detached philosophy of neutrality to ensure that no one alignment or power takes control of the Flanaess.
Druids frequently follow this True Neutral dedication to balance, and under Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules were required to be this alignment. In an example given in the 2nd Edition Player's Handbook, a typical druid might fight against a band of marauding gnolls, only to switch sides to save the gnolls' clan from being totally exterminated.[10]
Lara Croft, Lucy Westenra from Dracula and Han Solo in his early Star Wars appearance are neutral.[9] The true neutral outsiders are known as the Rilmani.
[edit] Chaotic NeutralChaotic Neutral is called the "Anarchist" or "Free Spirit" alignment. A character of this alignment is an individualist who follows his or her own heart, and generally shirks rules and traditions. Although they promote the ideals of freedom, it is their own freedom that comes first. Good and Evil come second to their need to be free, and the only reliable thing about them is how totally unreliable they are. Chaotic Neutral characters are free-spirited and do not enjoy the unnecessary suffering of others, but if they join a team, it is because that team's goals happen to coincide with their own at the moment. They invariably resent taking orders and can be very selfish in their pursuit of personal goals. A Chaotic Neutral character does not have to be an aimless wanderer; they may have a specific goal in mind, but their methods of achieving that goal are often disorganized, unorthodox, or entirely unpredictable.
A subset of Chaotic Neutral is: "strongly Chaotic Neutral"; describing a character who behaves chaotically to the point of appearing insane. Characters of this type may regularly change their appearance and attitudes for the sake of change and intentionally disrupt organizations for the sole reason of disrupting a lawful institution. Characters of this type include the Xaositects from the Planescape setting, and Hennet from the third edition Player's Handbook. In Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Chaotic Neutral was mistakenly assumed to refer to this subset.
Captain Jack Sparrow, Al Swearengen from the TV series Deadwood, and Snake Plissken from Escape from New York are Chaotic Neutral characters according to Complete Scoundrel (3.5e).[9] Slaadi represent pure chaos outsiders.
[edit] Lawful EvilLawful Evil is referred to as the "Dominator" or "Diabolic" alignment. Characters of this alignment see a well-ordered system as being easier to exploit, and show a combination of desirable and undesirable traits; while they usually obey their superiors and keep their word, they care nothing for the rights and freedoms of other individuals and are not averse to twisting the rules to work in their favor. Examples of this alignment include tyrants, devils, undiscriminating mercenary types who have a strict code of conduct, and loyal soldiers who enjoy the act of killing.
Like Lawful Good Paladins, Lawful Evil characters may sometimes find themselves faced with the dilemma of whether to obey law or evil when the two conflict. However, their issues with Law versus Evil are more concerned with "Will I get caught?" versus "How does this benefit me?"
Boba Fett of Star Wars, and X-Men's Magneto are cited examples of Lawful Evil characters in (3.5e).[9] The Lawful Evil outsiders are known as Devils.
[edit] Neutral EvilNeutral Evil is called the "Malefactor" alignment. Characters of this alignment are typically selfish and have no qualms about turning on their allies-of-the-moment, and usually make allies primarily to further their own goals. They have no compunctions about harming others to get what they want, but neither will they go out of their way to cause carnage or mayhem when they see no direct benefit to it. They abide by laws for only as long as it is convenient for them. A villain of this alignment can be more dangerous than either Lawful or Chaotic Evil characters, since she or he is neither bound by any sort of honor or tradition nor disorganized and pointlessly violent.
Examples are an assassin who has little regard for formal laws but does not needlessly kill, a henchman who plots behind her or his superior's back, or a mercenary who switches sides if made a better offer.
Complete Scoundrel cites X-Men's Mystique, and Sawyer of the early seasons of Lost as Neutral Evil characters.[9] Yugoloths (Daemons) are the outsiders of Neutral Evil.
[edit] Chaotic EvilChaotic Evil is referred to as the "Destroyer" or "Demonic" alignment. Characters of this alignment tend to have no respect for rules, other people's lives, or anything but their own desires, which are typically selfish and cruel. They set a high value on personal freedom, but do not have any regard for the lives or freedom of other people. They do not work well in groups, as they resent being given orders, and usually behave themselves only out of fear of punishment.
It is not compulsory for a Chaotic Evil character to be constantly performing sadistic acts just for the sake of being evil, or constantly disobeying orders just for the sake of causing chaos. They do however enjoy the suffering of others, and view honor and self-discipline as weaknesses. Serial killers and monsters of limited intelligence are typically Chaotic Evil.
According to the Complete Scoundrel sourcebook, Carl Denham from King Kong and Riddick from Pitch Black are Chaotic Evil.[9] The Chaotic Evil outsiders are the Demons.
Unless you are sticking too Chaotic Evil?
That's what the alignments represent you yourself would be Neutral Good.
Now based on what you've learned about me, which of them is most fitting?
Is it Chaotic Evil?

Chaotic Good and stand for State Rights.
And which am i based on the following:I don't really trust anyone or anything at all because they all tend to oppress my freedom to do whatever i want to do which is what i long for and really only care about despite seeming like i don't. I also can be really lazy when it comes to everything and anything. I believe that good and bad are subjective as what one person views as good another will view as bad etc. For example: I slept with my good friend who is dating someone at the moment
some will consider me evil because of this or Neutral, however he offered to do it with me when i brought it up in a conversation one night and then he changed his mind while doing it with me so i stopped due to him changing his mind. I was so enjoying it until he stopped and since then i've been upset with him. So
because i sensed that he was gonna kill the enjoyment for me somehow, afterwards and still am irritated that he backed out. I also have gone and sold a christmas present after being told not to for money, because i was craving Popcorn at the time. I also for the longest time made it out to look like i forgave my mom but really i went over to her place with her current lover to eat and so she can't say that i don't see her at all.
I will always respect her for bringing me into this world but don't trust her.
I also believe that people should be free to do whatever they want, however whatever they end up doing with that freedom is on them to deal with not me.
I don't use violence but don't consider myself a pacifist because if i could find a way to use it with my lack of upper body strength i would.
I also don't like being told no but tend to swallow my feelings about the issue and pretend like i don't.
If you think i could pass for one of those alignments then go for it and tell me which one it is and explain why.

Most of the alignment test I've taken over the years have labeled me as lawful good.
A cool kid, I am not.
(Though I try to be more the Atticus Finch mold of LG than the so-called Lawful Good (Stupid) paladin stereotype*. But who knows.

I got Lawful Good, which mostly amuses me because a few weeks ago I was Lawful Neutral. In the past, I've literally been every non-evil alignment while taking the exact same test.

It's Chaotic Neutral. By your own assessment through strijder's test.
There is absolutely no reason to suppose you will not have answered the questions honestly and truthfully as much as you're able to.
You are the one most able to do this.
If, for any reason, this assessment does not satisfy you, please take the test again, until it does.
Or perhaps it really is simply attention that you crave?
What makes you need attention:
- Don't you feel you get enough of it in RL?
- Are you looking for some confirmation of your existence?
- Are you looking for approval or validation in some way?
Is this - asking about D&D alignments - the best way to achieve your goals?
But please don't assume this post is a criticism/judgement of you personally in any way. These are only possibilities. And could, to some extent, apply to everyone on this forum.
And I am, almost insatiably, curious.
Give me a real answer about the alignment putting aside the Tests and going just by our interactions, what i put and the alignments i posted. and i'll consider giving you some real answers BorachioIt's Chaotic Neutral. By your own assessment through strijder's test.
That's also based on our interactions and you re reading the OP and the alignments i posted? Is this you changing your answer from before?
There is absolutely no reason to suppose you will not have answered the questions honestly and truthfully as much as you're able to.

probably.
If, for any reason, this assessment does not satisfy you, please take the test again, until it does.
I knew i was that and yes i think its most fitting.
Or perhaps it really is simply attention that you crave?
Yes, it's pretty obvious look at our interactions.
What makes you need attention:
- Don't you feel you get enough of it in RL? You know this answer.
- Are you looking for some confirmation of your existence? And this one.
- Are you looking for approval or validation in some way? Really Borachio?
Is this - asking about D&D alignments - the best way to achieve your goals?

I'll assume whatever i want to assume Borachio
And I am, almost insatiably, curious.

Lawful Evil huh?
I'm lawful evil? eh who gives a , what about it fits Lawful Evil?
I've gotten Chaotic Neutral, Chaotic Evil, True Neutral but not Lawful evil yet.

Because you're trying desperately to put yourself in a alignment (eg make a rule about your behavior), Chaotic folks don't really care if they're chaotic.

Heroically Clueless
Id say more like schizophrenic neutral. I can make absolutely no sense whatsoever of any of these posts, some of which can only be explained as the product of a psychotic attack.
Schizophrenic True Neutral? Schizophrenic Chaotic Neutral, Schizophrenic Lawful Neutral or Schizophrenic Neutral Evil?
