Where Do You Fall? Modern Archetypes of Good, Neutral, and Evil

The alignment grid isn’t just for role-playing games, it’s a mirror for real life. Strip away the fantasy trappings and you’ll find the same nine archetypes sitting in our governments, our corporations, and even in our families. Lawful Good becomes the idealist enforcer, Chaotic Neutral the unpredictable maverick, Neutral Evil the opportunist climbing every ladder.

It’s less about heroes and villains, and more about patterns of behavior, how people use rules, freedom, or self-interest to move through the world. Once you start seeing it, you can’t unsee it. The grid becomes a map of power, choice, and consequence.
