Well, I pride myself in being a Rogue, an honourless, swashbuckling, tax-collector ambushing, back stabbing, criticle hit hitting, poison using, trap setting, lock-picking, pick pocketing, arrow shooting, dirty fighting, fleet of foot, shadow striking, assassinating fighter. I need money to get all my poison herbs, exotoc weapons, and armor. I take any job my employers ask of me, from theft to regicide. However I will step in to the petty ideals of "honour" when it's necessary. like defending a woman and child from a gang of bandits, and then only grudgingly. But you won't see me doing something absolutly stupid in the name of "honour". I know a lost cause when I see it.
So I guess I occupy a Grey area when it comes to morality

Not honour, necessarily, but I'd rather remain true to my personal code of ethics than sell them out and be unable to live with myself.

Would you let your spirit die for money?
Eh...you have to be more specific about what, exactly, that entails. Whether it's a literal or metaphysical thing.
A bit late with this, but more of a metaphysical thing.

The problem with this argument is that it's made from the standpoint that you're already filthy rich and that you're risking only yourself.

When you and your family are dirt poor and this potential handout could feed the kids, put a roof over your heads, pay off your debt and get the kids a college education, what's honor worth? Damn straight I'll take the money, it'll do me and my loved ones a lot of good, especially when the alternative is a horrible death for us all.

Unless you have some real need for honor, (ie. the military) money all the way. Money can anything, including happiness, for the right person.

Morals > Money > Honor.

I wouldn't betray my morals of what's right or wrong for money, but I would thoroughly embarrass myself if it was a large enough sum.

Honor, I can choose it without a second thought.

Money is a false concept, what may be worth something now may be worthless within the next hour.

Honor is within you, it is what gives you strength. To break your honor is to break yourself.

Honor.

I'd die laughing or with a bloodlust roar, taking out as many as I could. I will make their trespasses on my honor to be the least efficient thing they have ever done.

Never compromise in the face of someone who challenges you...

Honour. A sellout holds not true value in life other than something that can be gone within seconds. Standing up and holding true to your belief's in the face of death or torture makes a real individual.
