Line 170:
* ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'', as the lead in a series rife with [[Character Development]], naturally varies in his alignment, but his default "ensouled" alignment once he gets his own show seems to be [[Neutral Good]]: helping others and protecting those who can't do it themselves, no matter the personal cost.
* In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Buffy herself fits this category. She accepts (somewhat reluctantly) her destiny, then proceeds to fulfill it in her own way. She accepts her [[Mentor]] while rejecting his organization. In the end, the only thing certain about her is her devotion to good. Most of her [[True Companions]] end up in this category.
* Some of [[Twenty Four24 (TV)|Jack]]'s closer friends at CTU, like Chloe and Tony, tend to be [[Neutral Good]] in that they more often follow orders and the law than he does, but tend to put themselves at risk to help him.
* ''[[I Carly]]'': Carly started off as a Neutral Good person, but shifted towards [[Chaotic Good]] in season 3.
** Freddie started more like [[Lawful Good]], only to shift towards [[Neutral Good]] as well, although since he's more than willing to tag along with Carly and even Sam's schemes, in practice he's acts [[Chaotic Good]] as well.
Line 230:
** To a lesser extent (and with more pronouns and articles) Commander Shepard, especially on the Paragon path. S/he routinely rejects laws that s/he finds to be immoral or unjust, while upholding those s/he views as necessary.
** Several of your other party members, such as [[The Engineer|Tali,]] [[Nice Guy|Jacob,]] and [[Hot Scientist|Liara]] could fit this alignment as well.
** Possibly one of the best examples of this alignment would be [[Hot Amazon|Ashley]]. She's ultimately on the side of good, but also somewhat [[Hot -Blooded]] and isn't adversed to [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?|shooting first]] in order to end problems. This is best shown in how she will gun down Wrex is you don't talk him down on Virmire and when she pulls a gun on ''Shepard'' in the third when {{spoiler|Udina}} claims that Shepard has come to assassinate the Council, before Shepard explains that they are trying to ''stop'' an assassin sent by {{spoiler|Udina}} ''himself'' as part of a coup.
* The Paladins in ''[[Quest for Glory]]''. Bluntly, the [[Karma Meter]] notion of Honor in the game is related to how much of a [[Nice Guy]] the hero is, and how in tune he is with the world's goodness. The way of the Paladin also explicitely states to break laws for the greater good. As Rakeesh puts it : "The way of the Paladin is to seek to know that which truly is. The Paladin strives to learn his own inner nature and that of others. The Paladin does whatever needs to be done to bring light to the world. Not for glory, not for gain, the Paladin Becomes a Paladin because it is his Will."
* The ''[[Baldurs Gate]]'' series:
