All nine characters do not have to be in the same universe. Yes, anime is included in "etc."

In some of the stories we've been exposed to, villains actually started out as one of the good guys but due to certain circumstances, they found themselves turning to the dark side (think Anakin Skywalker). On the other side of the coin, sometimes villains have a change of heart and go to great lengths to redeem themselves (Severus Snape is a good example of that). What would it take for you to switch sides, and become more aligned with villainy or heroism? Feel free to answer honestly or humorously. Your answer should be at least 5 sentences in length in order to earn 5 emerald shards, which will be going to the Heroes. Prompt provided by Prof. Amy Lupin

In Dungeons & Dragons, Alignment is used to categorize characters based on their moral and ethical perspectives. Most versions use two axes: "Law vs Chaos" and "Good vs Evil." Along with "Neutral," this gives nine possible alignments. This website provides some more information about alignment. Here is an example of an Alignment Chart in the Harry Potter universe: (Click for a larger image) Fill out your own Alignment Chart! Choose nine characters from any book, movie, comic, etc. that fit each alignment. Please limit yourself to only one character from Harry Potter. You must include a list with a sentence or two explaining each of your nine selections. You may also create a visual representation with the following Alignment Chart or make your own. Any images must be kept to a maximum size of 600x600 pixels. Lawful Good | Neutral Good | Chaotic Good Lawful Neutral | True Neutral | Chaotic Neutral Lawful Evil | Neutral Evil | Chaotic Evil After you post your completed Alignment Chart below, you will find out if your 20 emerald shards will align with the Heroes or the Villains.

E-mail your solution to slytherin.emeraldcup [at] gmail.com (Subject: "Era 4 - Nonogram") to earn 20 emerald shards for the Villains.

I sent my cousin a "Happy Birthday" sticker via LINE (the messaging app that everyone in Taiwan uses) and he replied with a sticker that said "3Q." "Three-Q?" I thought. It took me a few minutes, but then I finally got it. "Three" in Mandarin Chinese is "san," so "san-Q" sounds like "Thank you." Another one I like is 881. That is "ba-ba-yi" in Chinese. When it is said quickly, it sounds like "bye-byeeeeeeee." Do you have any fun in translation stories?
