General clarification on work content


The division between a True Neutral character of the "unthinkingly amoral and selfish" type and a NeutralEvil character may also be questionable, especially if the work spends a lot of time depicting the negative effects that the selfish actions have on others. A good guideline is that a True Neutral character will have basically innocent objectives and motivations like self-preservation, or pleasures that don't inherently damage others, while a Neutral Evil one will be motivated by actively unpleasant desires like dominating others or taking pleasure in cruelty.
