Lawful Good: The reason why I choose Spock for this category is because in all the Star Trek films and shows, he always does the right things, but does not go gung-ho crazy as would Captain Kirk. Instead, Spock thinks of the best possible solutions with statistics and laws. Furthermore, Spock always listens to orders by Captain Kirk, showing his lawful side. He is down to Earth and is the logical one of the enterprise crew.
Neutral Good: Mr. John Keating from Dead Poets Society
would be viewed by his students as Lawful Good, but by his colleagues as Lawful
Chaotic. The reason why I placed him there is because he does follow the rules
set by the Welton Academy, however bends the rules by inspiring the boys to
create the dead poets society, not to mention making them march around in a
circle or kick balls into a goal. Since
Mr. john Keating does teach with all the rules as set standard by the school making
it Lawful good, he teaches his class in his own way which could be viewed as
not following orders, hence Chaotic. Mr. keating is neutral good because he
could veer into both lawful and chaotic good if you view him at different
angles.
Chaotic Good: The
face of Gromit is known well by many of us. If you have seen all the specials
and movies like I have, there is a logical reason why I put Gromit in Chaotic
Good. In all the specials of Wallace and Gromit, Wallace goes on these crazy
adventures and Gromit doesn’t follow Wallace’s plan. For instance, in the
Wallace and Gromit special A Matter of
Loaf or Death, you find Gromit sneaking into a murderer’s house to see if
she is really the culprit. Of course Wallace did not tell him to do this, he
went there on his own terms. In the same
special, right as Wallace is about to get “murdered”, Gromit comes to the
rescue and saves Wallace’s life. Similar plots are found in all the specials.
Gromit leaves Wallace, Wallace gets in trouble, and Gromit saves Wallace.
According to the definition Mr. Holeman gave us, “He/She doesn’t follow orders,
and shows up at the last moment”. That is exactly what Gromit does all the
time.
Neutral Lawful: Sheldon
Cooper from the Big Bang Theory is an
iconic character for setting strict rules that range from roommate agreements
to how to “properly” play rock, paper, and scissors. Sheldon would be described
by most people (including his friends) and very strict with his rules. Sheldon
of course would argue that the rules or laws are necessary to maintain a fluid
lifestyle that would maintain optimum efficiency. However, when any of his
friends come in real trouble, he will (slowly) forget about the rules and help
his friends out. Since Sheldon both writes very exact rules and precise rules
and sticks with them, thus being lawful, he also will pardon these rules in
order to help a friend out, thus being Neutral to the rules.
Neutral Neutral: The
infamous parrot, Iago, is known well in the Aladdin
movie series. Once a sidekick of Jafar, Iago moves around with different
people in the movies. For this reason I decided to put him under the category
of Neutral Neutral. Iago in the Beginning of Aladdin is with the villain Jafar,
who stops at nothing to get the magical genie lamp. However, when Jafar is
defeated, Iago works to get on Aladdin’s good side who then takes care of him. Iago is willing to work with anyone as long as he is able to survive, making
him be universal to move to any area. When he was with Jafar, he could be
looked upon as lawful evil, for doing whatever Jafar says no matter who gets
hurt. But when he is with Aladdin, he becomes good neutral because he listens
to Aladdin, but is not as eager to go into dangerous situations. Since he is
like a wild card for the character alignment chart, I decided to put him in
Neutral Neutral.
Neutral Chaotic: Han
Solo is a famous character for not caring about anything but his ship and
blowing stuff up. In the beginning. Han Solo acts like a scruffy rat and doesn’t
care, but toward the end cares about Luke and the rest of the gang. Since the
space of Chaotic Neutral has the ability to move to neutral good, that is a great
place for Han Solo. He loves blowing things up in any way, shape or form but
still cares about his friends (as long as they pay him).
Evil Lawful: The
battle droids of Star Wars are known for taking orders, followed by a “Roger
Roger” and slaughtering entire species. Battle droids do not care about life
and species because they are robots. So, any order that they get, they follow
through with. They cannot tell right from wrong. Since they are following orders to the extent
of killing several people with no subconscious thought, they are basically
future “freedom” fighters, which also fits into the Lawful Evil section.
Evil Neutral: Grendel is a creature that is viewed upon the humans as a pure monster. Grendel is much like that. For example, he got pleasure out of throwing rocks and trees at a "stupid" mountain goat. Furthermore, he will go to the Meadhall and kill several people, including at the end eating people out of their beds. Just like a villain who would be found in the space Evil Neutral, Grendel is power hungry. This power hunger is not in the sense of ruling the people, but actually to just be equally powered and with them. Grendel wants to be equal with the humans, then when he doesn't get his way he kills people in spite.
Evil Chaotic: The
movie Saw is often known for its
intense craziness from holding people hostage and forcing them to “escape” even
though they will die in the end anyway. Jigsaw, who is the mastermind behind
this is definitely Evil Chaotic because he sets up these elaborate mazes and
traps to see people cut off their limbs and practically kill themselves. As an added
bonus, he created a puppet that he puts on a t screen to scare people. He is
like the Joker, but with less explosions.
