Ethics on the World of Pria
What are Ethics? 

The path you choose in life is based on an internal conscience if you
will. This internal belief in good and evil has long troubled all of 
us. Here we can choose something quite different from ourselves. Once 
again be sure you understand the advantages and disadvantages of the 
choice you make here.

The people of this world tend to follow one of three very distinct 
ethical pathways. 

The first is the path of the Righteous. These individuals are the ones
that fight for good and order. They will always choose what is right 
even when it might cost them their wealth, or their very lives. These
are people we sometimes consider "do-gooders." 

Their opposite are the Scourge, those that embrace evil and chaos and 
spend their lives helping to increase both in the world. While they 
do not have to go around killing others, they will always choose the 
path that leads to greater chaos and the dimming of all that is
good on this world. 

The last are the Free Agents. Those that walk the path of the 
impartial one, willing to shift at a moment's notice if the cause or 
the gold is good enough.

Be sure to check out all three of these before making your choice, as
each has its own advantages and disadvantages.  Remember also the kind
of reception you would like in the inn.  If you are looking for friends,
the evil Scrouge will find few unless prepared to pay for them.
Free Agent Characters Walking the Tight Rope Free Agents are the middle ground. These are the characters that walk the tight rope between righteous and scourge. They are neither good not evil. Instead they are a combination of both as the times and situations determine. The free agent character is the one who can go many different ways. They can have honor such as honor among thieves. They can be bought, as in the Sheriff of Nottingham who could be bribed. They can be coaxed or convinced that they should or want to take a particular stand. Or they can also go on their own whims or impulses. This ethic leaves you, as the character the most options. The free agent can basically play both sides at the same time. However, should you regularly play one side or the other your character may be forced by the Game Master to become that ethic instead of staying a free agent. A well played free agent will be able to explain away their actions whatever they may be. All professions may be of the free agent ethic.
Righteous Characters Those characters that work for good and order are considered righteous in the world of Pria. You might think of this type of character as the Superman or Wonder Woman of this world. They are incorruptible characters who will always choose to risk their lives to save that which is good and noble. This in no way means that a righteous character cannot gain weath, fame, or power. They simply must EARN it honestly. Also they would tend to help those in need with their possessions or abilities. Never asking for more then is reasonable in the situation. For example if a village is in danger and the villagers are poor and unable to pay, the righteous character will deal with the danger for nothing more than the villagers' thanks. All professions may be of the righteous ethic but a thief would be like a Robin Hood in this world. The thieving would be done not for personal gain, but to benefit others.
Scourge Characters Evil Scourge of the World of Pria In all things there are two sides to a coin, so the scourge is the other side, or opposite, of righteous. These are the characters who do everything for power, glory, wealth, and fame. They consider only themselves and their whim. This is what makes the scourge so truly evil. They act on a whim or impulse without anyconsideration of any one else. If a village must be destroyed for them to gain wealth, so what. For them, the cost of a few measly character lives is well worth it. A scourge will always walk the path of chaos, thoroughly enjoying the panic and disorder of everyone around them. They also tend to use and discard characters and items at will. Unlike the righteous they will use any pretense, fakery, or fraud to get what they want. All professions may be of the scourge ethic. In the case of the healing professions they would also use their powers to cause harm and chaos not just healing.
