\"Alternatively a True Neutral character could stay on the villains side. Being that in a way it preoccupies them and also at times [[EvilFeelsGood evil feels good.]] Even if defeated by the heroes it still serves as entertainment away from the boring status quo.\"

Well, sure, that could happen too, I guess, but this doesn\'t sound like a very likely thing to happen to True Neutrals in general. How likely is EvilFeelsGood to apply to non-evil characters? And being Neutral doesn\'t mean you\'re so bored you\'ll think being defeated is just good entertainment. This sounds like a specific and also far-fetched character concept rather than True Neutral in general.

\"In a positive light, True Neutral characters are among the most open-minded people. Good and evil much like law and chaos shun one another too often, True Neutral\'s wouldn\'t mind making friends on either side, as long as said \"friends\" [[KickTheDog don\'t abuse them.]]\"

A True Neutral could be a total bigot or whatever -- the alignment really doesn\'t say anything about that. But let\'s assume it only means tolerant in regards to alignments, and by this wording, it\'s specifically Good and Evil for some reason. Still a false generalisation. Would you expect the average passive citizen to be happy to make friends with obvious criminals? Being Neutral doesn\'t mean you like Evil. You might not like Good, either, though that\'s more likely. Again, this sounds like some specific character concept rather than True Neutral in general.

True Neutral is for everyone who\'s not strong enough on the alignment axes to count for any of them. You can\'t say these things based on that.
