Gameplay
The most central aspect of Haven's lore is that power is corruption. If you are Tier 3 or higher you're a bad person, period. If your society is corrupt, they're the bad guys, period. If a society is virtuous, they're the good guys, period.
There are complexities and nuances here for sure that are more than welcome, and you are free to think a bad guy is sympathetic, attractive, intelligent, charming or that a good guy is reckless, stupid, naive, foolish or ugly.
You are absolutely not free to do this kinda 'No but the good guys are -really- the bad guys because xyz' or 'We're -really- the good guys because yzx' or 'They're really worse than us becuse zxy' RP unless you are: Unaware of the supernatural, insane, or very stupid. Of course due to alliances you might see working with the bad guys as being the lesser of two evils or a neccessary evil but it is still an evil.
There is no flexibility on this basic principle, people wanting to play moral characters play with very significant disadvantages in order to pay for that right. Trying to subvert that is no different to trying to twink around someone's stats because you don't want to lose.
