Alignment chart template.
An alignment chart template places characters on the familiar nine-part grid of moral outlook and respect for order. It gives writers and game masters a compact way to compare a guardian, rebel, ruler, or villain without reducing a character to a single trait.

Scenario
Writers and game masters use this template to give a cast a shared moral and ethical frame. Replace the example characters with the people, factions, or creatures in a campaign or story.
Key decisions
- 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.
When to reuse this
Use it when characters need a quick relative alignment reference. Use a relationship map or character profile when motivations and connections need more detail.
