So the other day, I was thinking about the classic alignment chart, and how it doesn’t really do much for me personally since it’s more about how characters interact with systems rather than how they interact with other people

I had a minute, so I figured I’d throw something together that DID suit my needs!

(Note: This chart regards a character’s intent rather than the outcome of their actions—and for sake of clarity, here are the definitions I’m working with:

Good: concerned with the well-being the collective, often at expense of the self

Evil: concerned with the well-being of the self, often at the expense of the collective

Kind: concerned with the emotional responses of others

Cruel: unconcerned with the emotional responses of others)

I like conceptualizing things this way, cause sometimes Bad People behave with ‘good’ or ‘kind’ intentions, and sometimes Good People do things that seem ‘evil’ or ‘cruel’

Also this gives me a way to compare/contrast characters who get lumped together under the other system

This chart is a godsend. I’d been trying to find the words for ‘kind evil’, but you put it so perfectly. I always find that kind of villain the most frightening, the kind that can convince people they’re doing good for their victims.

An unfortunately prevalent everyday example of this is the autism warrior parent, who tells their child that they’re helping them by trying to make them conform, though they’re actually traumatising their child and taking away their healthy coping mechanisms.
