* Thorfinn of ''[[Vinland Saga]]''.
* Chloe & Mirelle of ''[[Noir]]''.
* Apparently Shiki Ryougi of ''[[
* [[Perky Goth]] and [[Knowledge Broker]] Undertaker from ''[[Black Butler]]''.
* Charden Flamberg of ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]''. Unlike his comrades, he has genuine reasons for hating Chronos and follows the [[Big Bad]] to do so. But, he leaves when he realizes that Creed's ego has taken over.
* Papillion of ''[[Busou Renkin]]''. He doesn't want to kill humans and burn the world to ash, but, he's not going to help anyone out unless he gets something out of it.
* Yuko Ichihara, the Dimension Witch of ''[[
* [[Wild Card]] Kai Hiwatari of ''[[Beyblade]]''.
* In ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'', {{spoiler|Kyubey is one of these. Despite behaving in an extremely creepy manner at all times, he's only watching for the wellbeing of the universe, even though during the main plot that causes a huge amount of death and suffering. After the finale it can be seen that he keeps the same personality, but behaves in a much friendlier manner. But that's not because he changed, he still has the same goal, it's just that in the new universe the most straightforward way of achieving it looks friendlier.}}
Line 255:
*** Specifically the Blood Axe clan, who not only learned human-style tactics such as retreating and camouflage, but also do mercenary work as well. Considering the rest of the race, this is what makes them neutral.
** The Eldar qualify for this alignment for many reasons. They're not evil, since they are pretty much only focusing on their own survival in the galaxy. That said, they swing back and fourth between Lawful and Chaotic so much that it is hard putting the whole race under either label. Their internal politics are definitely Lawful, especially the craftworld Alaitoc. However, this has the consequences of many eldar embracing the path of the ranger, leaving their craftworlds to seek adventure and freedom, putting many eldar in a chaotic light too. Point also goes to the Harlequins, who doesn't really associate very much with the craftworlds, but are technically still allies.
* The Wood Elves of ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' are distinctly of the Type 5 variety, Wild Hunt and all. They are described as true forces of nature, they don't get involved in anything unless it directly threatens their forest.
** The Tomb kings are generally feared by many because of their undead natures, but most of the time, they just want to be left alone and have nothing to do with the wars of the living.
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' has a few characters that fit this alignment. Urabrask the Hidden could be considered this due to his passive (even apathetic) attitude towards the Mirrans. Sorin Markov ({{spoiler|pre-Innistrad}}) seems to fit this as well, trying to save Zendikar simply because he had an obligation to.
Line 327:
* NOVA from 'Milky Way Wishes' in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. All he does is grant wishes, no matter what they are.
* The players' Virtuaroids in ''[[Virtual On]]'' could be considered as Type 10, as they are designed solely for players to control and is not capable of independent thoughts.
* From the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' series, Naomi Hunter, a Type 3 [[True Neutral]] who tried to kill Solid Snake by injecting the FOXDIE virus [[It's Personal|to avenge her "brother" Frank Jaeger]], but later showed regret for what she has done. She also defected from Otacon to Ocelot in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' by her own will in order to eliminate the Vamp to atone her own sin.
* [[Word of God]] has stated that the Von Neumann of ''[[Sword of the Stars]]'' are merely nonsentient expert systems that exist to catalogue systems and harvest resources. When they go after your ships, it is not out of malice. Unfortunately for all involved, if their motherships fail to report back, they will clear obstacles with extreme prejudice.
* The Norgard faction in ''[[Brigandine]]'' is Type 12. The ruler Vaynard is merely a pragmatic opportunist warlord, he's not as goody-two-shoes as Lance of New Almekia or Cai of Caerleon or Lyonesse from Leonia, but he cares about his people, more than Dryst of Iscalio (or of course Zemeckis of Esgares), and wants to build a strong nation under his rule. Vaynard himself has some genuine [[Pet the Dog]] moment and is quite fond of his sister Esmeree... who's in Esgares.
