Only Friends Alignment Chart: Ep. 1 (aka Only Friends Evil Meter)
Top: Arrogant SOB but also hard to read. A lot of people straight up think he’s the devil incarnate (or, alternatively, worships the ground he walks on in light of TopMew), but I don’t quite get either conclusion. I genuinely can’t tell what he wants and feel suspicious of him either way. He just seems a little too practiced at this whole getting with Mew thing… For now, Top is lawful evil.
Mew: He’s being set up as the type of guy who everyone thinks is kinder/smarter/better than other people, but is, in reality, just as flawed as everyone else. While he seems somewhat more wholesome than the others, he is exposing himself as a bit of a neglectful friend. For now, Mew is lawful good.
Ray: Hands-down the most infuriating character. My heart aches for people like Ray in real life who struggle with low self esteem and alcoholism. It’s Ray’s other actions and traits that get me. He’s so condescending and bratty (and not in a good way). He’s always thinking of himself first and not how his actions might impact his friends or other people. Ray gives chaotic evil.
San(d): I don’t know what to think about him besides that he’s an overall nice guy. He’s a little preachy at times but that type of stern, parent-like energy is exactly what Ray thinks he needs (assuming he does have daddy issues). It’s weird though because I feel like we got more RaySan(d) this episode than anything else, but San(d) still somehow feels like a side character while Top, Mew, Boston, and Ray feel much more fleshed out (though this is probably because most of his screen time is spent reacting to Ray rather than proactively moving the plot forward). He’s true neutral right now.
Boston: He is so evil-coded lmao. But honestly, I don’t know if it’s due to Neo’s portrayal or other factors, but I walked away from this episode feeling more sympathetic toward Boston than any other character. He seems like a complicated person who always gets in his own way. This doesn’t make him evil IMO, it just makes him human. He’s (controversial) chaotic neutral.
Nick: Okay so Nick comes off as chaotic good. He just seems like he’s really interested in Boston and is also a true freak. Much like Boston’s character, this does not make him evil. In truth, we’ve probably not seen enough of Nick to say one way or the other, but the babygirlism is strong with this one and I have no proof that he will try to hurt anyone so far.
Cheum: She reminds me so much of Sandee of KMA/DBK fame or Yihwa of TWM, if not a tad bit oblivious. She cannot read a room for shit but is trying her best in a friend group full of messy gays and dumbasses. She is relatively harmless but is the epitome of a side character that is more like a plot device than a true character as of now. She’s neutral good.
Yo: Lawful neutral until further notice.
