So I'm trying to put together a DB Alignment chart...

This is what I have so far. Names in parenthesis are ones that I think could also fit or might fit better. I was looking to see what you guys had to say.

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_ ... Alignments

Lawful Good: Great Saiyaman/Gohan (Mirai Trunks)
Neutral Good: Piccolo (Son Goku)
Chaotic Good: Son Goku (Piccolo)
Lawful Neutral: Tenshinhan (Kaioshin)
True Neutral: Yajirobe
Chaotic Neutral: Vegeta
Lawful Evil: Dabra (Piccolo Daimao, Cell, Vegeta, Commander Red, Tao Pai Pai)
Neutral Evil: Freeza (Dabra)
Chaotic Evil: Boo (Bibidi, Bojack, Janemba, Hildegarn)

Changes:
Vegeta switched with Yajirobe
Changed Lawful Evil from Cell to Tao Pai Pai
Changed Lawful Evil from Tao Pai Pai to Dabra

I wouldn't put Vegeta at true-neutral, neutral-evil fits better (not specifically orderly or disorderly, willing to hurt others for personal gain).

Yajirobe would be a better fit for true-neutral, he's not especially good or evil, or chaotic or lawful.

Makes sense. I'm not sure why I didn't put the like that before, honestly.

I think the category I'm having the most trouble with is the "Evil" section. I'm pretty sure Boo is correct, and probably Freeza, but would Cell really be lawful?

Cell's more lawful than most, but I think Tao Paipai might work best. Or Commander Red.

Like the Androids, after he reached his Perfect form, he never really had a set objective and was pretty much just doing stuff for the sadistic fun of it. So, probably not.

I wouldn't say Cell was especially chaotic, but I agree he's not a great example of order. The more I think about it, the more Commander Red seems like the best "lawful evil".

-edit-

I just remembered that this is a Dragon Ball forum, not an RPG forum; so a little explanation might be helpful for some people. The terms "good", "evil", "chaotic", and "lawful" have specific meanings. "Chaotic" doesn't mean evil, and "lawful" doesn't mean good. "Lawful" especially gets misunderstood very easily; a better word would be "orderly". For example, even though Commander Red is breaking the law, he's very orderly about it making him "lawful".

I like this chart. The only things I would switch around are Goku and Piccolo's places for the good side.

I could see that, but Goku tends to be a lot more unpredictable. It seems like every time he makes a decision, everyone else is all "What the hell is he thinking?!" :shock:

Would Dabra be a good candidate for 'Lawful Evil?" Not only is/was he the King of the Demon Realm, implying he was a dictator of some sort, but then he spent most of the time we saw him following Bobbidi's orders.

Good call. I think it's good enough now, so I went ahead and "finalized" it. Thanks everybody for all your help!
