Using module names in dialogue are a bit 4th-wall-chewing. Remember that if there isn't a sign that says what the name of the place is, or it isn't common knowledge, calling it the exact name might be a little weird.

Other than that, you're fine.

Batman is CG.

*sigh* I miss the half-orc who swept floors for Uncle Bane. That was a height never since surpassed.

Batman is lawful neutral.

batman =NG think about it, batman is a vigilante, he does not always follow the law, i mean hacking is illegal.

Your insistence on modern day values is quite off-putting!

That depends on the character. I often find myself thinking the same things about other people.

Batman is LE

Batman was NE, he did exactly what he wanted to meet his own ends.

It also depends on the values. I am not sure what there is 'modern' about people's right to live, for example. Two thousand years ago there was this dude who was quite insistent on the importance of it, and he ended up the star of a book which is still a bestseller today. Or insistence on democratic values, that one is not new either. Hatred of slavery, hm, I suspect the first slave hated it not very long after he got slapped into what passed for chains at the time. And so forth.

Batman is Chaotic Good.

He also got himself killed.

Batman is Lawful something.

The point is, some human values have been with us throughout the ages. You just have to be careful not to give it an explicitly 21st century feel. I won't elaborate, as we have other threads discussing such things.

Batman is Neutral.

My only critique would be your ability to 'put a character on hold' for months at a time.  There are three names on your list of characters that I'm not sure if they are dead, or you just decided to put them on hold.

Play one character to it's end.. please.  Especially for those who are interacting with them. Marcail was trying to get things going at the Mist End with Emily, but she just vanished.  Then there is stuff with the Conclave and Sophia, that I  don't know where that ended up because again, I never saw her again, and Emily was back.  So I don't know where that is left off with.

So again, my only critique is to finish one character before you start another.

Don't ask for criticism then try to defend yourself.

Batman is CN, of course.
