Loyal Neutral

If you've ever seen The Flintstones, you are familiar with prehistoric animals being used in lieu of technology. For example, a small bird-like dinosaur uses it's beak like a record needle to play the music on a stone record. Afterward, it looks at the camera and says, "it's a living." That is the mentality of the Loyal Neutral character.

They follow orders, but it's not because of joy or fear; it's because loyalty is its own virtue. Certainly, not every person deserves such loyalty, but those that do will get it because it's the right thing to do.

Sometimes this character is the kind of person who doesn't want to be part of the team, but will help out when times get tough. Conversely, it could be the kind of person who commits terrible atrocities because "I was just following orders." So as always, any given personality can really span the spectrum.
