A guide to ERP & Q&A! (EvilRP)

Not necessarily a madman with a cause, just a madman that enjoys killing, flaying, skinning, mangling, and feasting upon others. These are not assasins, as I believe that would fall under your more neutral archetypes, but rather a more serial killer esque type of person, mentally unstable or not.
I'll be sure to add this in later, like with a lot of other of these 'archtype' evil folk there are a lot of the pitfalls in the RP, I know someone with the right amount of experience in this to help me write this section :) Thanks!

Thanks, Edy! It took me quite some time last night and a lot of collaboration, I'm still working on a lot of things that need to be changed and updated.
I'm eagerly awaiting the draenei section, as most evil draenei fall into only a few categories.
Cultists (Twilight or corrupted Auchenai) or man'ari eredar.

I wasn't really sure how to approach a lot of the Draenei lore but I've got a good idea of what to put in there now.

Of course :) I'll be sure to fix it. This guide is not so much for non-evil characters at all, simply to point out that skin color and fur as it is very identifying in dwarven culture makes it harder to 'blend in'.
@Aveo
Thank you a lot :)
I've managed to make a couple updates to the dwarf section, and have corrected the guides original stance on demonic role-play.

I have wavered on what Mei is. Her absolute devotion to her contracts would suggest lawful evil, but the fact that if she has to she will sink an entire ship killing hundreds, or poison a entire citys water supply killing thousands just to get at her targets and not bat an eye at the extra deaths, they were the cost of doing buissness so to speak, suggest chaotic. Though she does not like to use such flashy methods. A well planned no one knows I am there approach is better, but sometimes you just have to pull out the murloc stampede and improvise.
Also what suggests chaotic to me is she has absolutely no value on life what so ever. She tortured a guy for days just to watch him die for making a friend cry. Ok, she values one life and it isn't hers, still I dunno.

Well this is the lovely thing when it tends to come to MMO alignments like this, as I said in the guide your alignment shouldn't define every action. So we have a couple real feesable actions when looking to Meiyaku. It's mostly a process of elimination.
We know that she isn't good, so that scratches quite a few options off the list. And she isn't -quite- lawful. Meiyaku seems to be aware that the acts she's committing aren't good, it's simply a matter of not caring. Evil neutral will mean she'll serve anyone who can at that time give her what she wants and go to any lengths...no matter how devastating to enact that will.
Thank you. The thing with the lawful part is her family had a singular duty sience before the sundering. She got to do all the dirty work her sisters would not do, but what their duty required to have happen. Think life quests for the minoi if you even know what that is. Some people had to die to achieve the greater goal. I think her name means duty, it may be loyalty I forget what it translated as. She will not break a contract. She will not break a promise, but it is very very rare she actually promises anything so I am fine. ;)

Hey...hey, I love doin' stuff like that.
I'll go ahead and make some revisions to the paladin section as you suggested :) but even those that dominate the light as opposed to using it still have faith. Be it in themselves or the magic.
