“Create a 3 by 3 character alignment chart with Lawful, Neutral, and Chaotic columns and Good, Neutral, and Evil rows. Place Aurelia the guardian in Lawful Good, Mira the healer in Neutral Good, Rowan the rebel in Chaotic Good, Doran the magistrate in Lawful Neutral, Sable the druid in True Neutral, Kestrel the wanderer in Chaotic Neutral, Voss the tyrant in Lawful Evil, Nera the schemer in Neutral Evil, and Raze the raider in Chaotic Evil.”
Read the decisions behind it.
The chart uses a nine-cell grid so lawful, neutral, and chaotic positions remain distinct from good, neutral, and evil positions.
Each cell has an alignment heading followed by one example character, making the layout easy to scan and replace.
The top-to-bottom order places good above evil, matching the familiar alignment-chart convention.
Use it when characters need a quick relative alignment reference. Use a relationship map or character profile when motivations and connections need more detail.

Common questions
What is an alignment chart?
It is a grid that compares moral outlook with a character's attitude toward rules, order, and freedom.
How do I make an alignment chart?
Set up lawful-to-chaotic columns and good-to-evil rows, then place each character in the cell that best fits their current behavior and values.
How do I read the nine alignments?
The first word describes the character's relationship to order; the second describes their moral direction. True Neutral sits at the center.
Is a template different from an example?
A template provides the reusable grid and labels. An example also includes a finished set of characters, which you can replace.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. No card is asked for.
