And whether the doctor really saved Lydie or has other plans shall soon be revealed (next Lydie chapter). <br /><br />My view is that genetic and social background may give a canvas for morality but that there is a basic "good" that transcends all artificial borders. What is this "good", that all share? I'd say forgiveness.

It just so happens that their frame of reference is different than that of other cultures. <br /><br />In your own story you had an Amarr doctor save Lydie by making her a slave. That is a course of action which would be unimaginable in our modern society, but for that man, in his position, it was an honourable and morally sound thing to do.<br /><br />Even in my own story, which had the Amarr cast in the role of antagonists (or full-on deviants like Keram) for quite some time, I have tried to make it an issue how Sylera becomes a very dedicated member of the group because her moral code tells her to honour the debt she owes the people who rescued her. That is not only a personal decision for her, it is based on her cultural background too. Just like Cedrien is the archetypical Good Guy Gallente, ahe is an archetypical Good Guy Amarrian, and both are exiled from their society because neither can live up to the ideal.<br /><br />Something that would _really_ be special would be a Minmatar who rejects solidarity based on ethnicity :)<br /><br /> Emergent Patrollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210394924909245177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962276924342174960.post-5475362504551375362013-09-15T16:12:20.945+02:002013-09-15T16:12:20.945+02:00Great article, I really enjoyed it, its about time...Great article, I really enjoyed it, its about time, the lines are blurred and the "good" Gallente get black mark on them. <br /><br />For me the races are more "cultural" and provide the background for personal decisions and activity. Morality is intensely personal and only indirectly linked to one's nation or race. So, I expect very honorable and morally sound Amarr (see next chapters of my little story) as well as evil Gallente.
