====Dedicated to Balance====
{{Topquote|So you remove excess of both good and evil? How can you tell which is which?|Yoshimo}}
They are types who are not concerned about the morality of their choices, but rather how it will affect the status quo (although what that status quo ''is'' is dependent on the character in question, and considering the cosmology of many settings, the status quo may not be something good). This means that a true neutral character may allow things like war, suffering, or disasters to continue, if it ensures that the balance of power is maintained. They are not necessarily malevolent in theory, as they see their actions as a completely necessary act for the greater good that would benefit everyone in the long run (paradoxically defeating the purpose of their supposed moral neutrality) — but then again, they're insufferable dickbags who see the entire universe as one big chequebook to even out, who will sell you out in a heartbeat if it meant maintaining the status quo, and just how would you balance out a place that has an excess of good? [[Derp|By committing evil acts, of course!]] In actuality, these fucks are just [[Neutral Evil]] (sometimes, [[Lawful Evil]] or [[Chaotic Evil]]) in disguise and [[BLAM|should be treated accordingly]].

The "Adequate Dedicated to the Balance" are a lot rarer, and it's hard to distinguish them from "Bad Dedicated to the Balance" — so don't expect ever meeting them. The first variant is a less brain-damaged version of "universal chequebook", that helps Good guys if they're losing — but ''doesn't help Evil when Evil is losing'', instead just sitting there and ranting in melancholy about times when Balance wasn't ruined, not daring to commit evil acts; this type acts like conventional "Good" when Good is losing, and "Detached Outsider" when Good is winning. The second variant is one that thinks that ''"Balance" and "Good" are one and the same'', and Evil is bad because it ruins Balance — and therefore wants the world where "Everything is overrun by Good, and Evil doesn't exist"; this one is conventional Good disguised as a member of a horrible lunatic alignment or a smart selfish man who lacks the ambition to go to the top like Lawful Evil or Neutral Evil and is content to remain in a generally just society (or at least one that is stable).
