RE: ToH - Darkness will??prevail
Because it all depends on how do you define evil.
What if evil is defined only as disobeying the law? Plenty of people in today's society think that it's the law that is the absolute evil. Some people have some pretty twisted sense of "good" and "evil" compare to the norm in society. Even in real life, lots of western countries once believed in eugenics, and that was the work of the law doing what is considered today as evil. But, it's the absolute good since eugenics will "improve human race as a whole" in the eyes of that time period.
For all that matter, light may legally kill off a peaceful village "for the greater good" of some sort, defined by whoever is in charge, which you can only hope that it's someone who resists evil.
If you have trouble with light and dark falling outside of good and evil, you can treat it in the metaphorical sense that light is called "light" because it is not the one in hiding, as they follow certain sets of values that help you understand what they are up to much easier. Dark on the other hand, are hidden in intentions, waiting in the darkness for the perfect opportunity to carry out their wishes no matter the cost. Thus you reduce the good and evil part a lot more that way.
Ah the dangers of relativism and how much chaos it stirs~ but then all's only for fun and not bad to muse about it at times within a game~

RE: ToH - Darkness will??prevail
To me, I follow dark because I believe Its a stronger path. And you must be strong inorder to live in this world.
But, I don't shun at people who follow the light. I welcome them.
I welcome a challenge, because I want to get stronger for what happens at the end game, and because I want Erebos to see me as someone strong, that can be used for whatever is needed.
That doesn't mean, I can't befriend a light or marry one (but would rather marry a dark HP) it means that I need to face opposistions and make myself stronger.Learn from other HP's on the lightside, study them see what they do.
If they feel like im just using them to get information then they are right, but I do have feelings for them, I do want them eventually to see my side and join me. But if they don't its their decision I just want to learn from you so I can get stronger (or lust over you because your my hot substitute teacher reimu)
I have friends, powerful friends on the lightside that are close to me because they've taught me alot in and off the battlefield. They might have different views, but we still want ultimately the same thing.
FOR BEHEMOTH TO DIE (I mean) to get stronger.
The first lesseon a revolutionary must learn is that he is a doomed man. Unless he understands this, he does not grasp the essential meaning of his life.
And thus he isn't a revolutionary if he doesn't understand.

RE: ToH - Darkness will??prevail
Its better its law/chaos as to allow for very interesting characters to be roleplayed.??Aaron himself is chaotic good, he was part of the dark allegience in his storyline, but things caused him to for now follow light's ideals more closely.??
I would HATE to think of my own character as evil of any sort, most "evils" don't think of themselves as such, and honestly Dark should be treated in this manner also.??In other words, I like the changes, it adds a lot of depth to each side to feel more real so to speak.??
Eudoxie should be a good example of the types of villains we need in heRO.??We all loved her or hated her, I mean look at responses on @main from her during the time period we had taunts and cheers from both light and dark from stuff she said.??I hope that a development on Thea and Melot will create the same sort of response :]
