True Neutral Alignment

 True neutral is called the "undecided" or "nature's" alignment. Characters sometime find themselves in this alignment if they do not adhere to any of the four axial extremes; they are not selfless enough to be good, not exploitative enough to be evil, not rule-abiding enough to be lawful, and not rebellious enough to be chaotic.

 True neutral is the base alignment of animals, thus many druids feel drawn towards this alignment as well. However, a true neutral alignment does not need to stem from any specific spiritual devotion. There are several archetypes who find themselves sharing the true neutral alignment, albiet for separate reasons: rational minds, devout neutrals, and apathetics.

The Rational Mind
This is a very common true neutral archetype. These characters refuse to declare any single alignment as their "default." Such labels, in their eyes, are too symplistic. Instead, they prefer to weigh every decision on a case-by-case basis. They follow their own sense of logic and reason at all times, regardless of where that leads them.

The Devoutly Neutral
These characters adhere to a strict code of neutrality. Whether they follow a strict religious creed, or the "order of nature," these characters feel compelled to strive for balance and neutrality in all decisions. To onlookers, these characters can appear almost schizophenic as they strive to off-set each action with an equal and opposite action. Because these characters are inherently contradictory, they are, in fact, quite rare. Very few true neutrals are actually based on this archetype.

The Apathetic
This may be the most common type of true neutral. These characters simply do not care. They keep to themselves and stray away from difficult, alignment-defining decisions. These characters are not heroes; they are just ordinary individuals.
