This was emailed to me yesterday, an awesome visualization of archetypes in the alignment system — a way of plotting characters on a good vs. evil, law vs. chaos matrix.

The story should shape the characters into three dimensions (not just one-dimensional, quintessential archetypes) and the characters should shape the story. Rarely can the two co-exist apart.
