A Detached character is a person who is not interested in anything to do with Gods or religion or any of that 'social' stuff. Detached is basically an alignment for those players who are not heavily engaged in role-playing, or for those who are true outsiders in their society. Detached characters don't have any extreme positions, and are motivated by whatever advances their personal goals. They are not interested in following laws or advancing freedom at all costs, they are not advocates for doing good deeds and they are not interested in doing evil for the sake of evil alone. They aren't even very interested in the abstract working of deities, the 'Celestial Game'. Detached characters just want to do as they wish, and stay uninvolved. Detached is best for players that are not strong role-players, who just want to show up, be with their friends, roll dice, and get loot. | A Detached character is a person who is not interested in anything to do with Gods or religion or any of that 'social' stuff.

Being Engaged means that your character is invested in the moral and ethical happenings of the game world. This means that you are interested, one way or another, in how the world views you, and how you affect the world. Now, this is a complex topic, and philosophers have been arguing about this for ages. In game terms, everything in the Engaged Alignments boils down to where your behavior inspiration falls on two complimentary tenets. Those two tenets are: | If you are not Detached , then you are Engaged. An Engaged alignment is a lot more complicated than the 'don't bother me, I'm gaming' Detached alignment.
