What are some good alignment examples? (fictional characters only please)


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


What are some good alignment examples? Some I think are

LG:
Superman, Princess Leia, Robocop (though he usually starts out as LN), Professor Xavier

NG:
Spiderman, Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Mario Bros

CG:
Sonic The Hedgehog, The Doctor (Doctor Who), Han Solo (Though he starts as CN)

LN:
Spock, Data, Emma Frost, The Punisher (bordering on LE)

N: Lara Croft, Locke (from Lost) Galactus (yes, he eats planets, but doesn't have a choice)

CN: Shadow The Hedgehog, Most of the "good guys" in the Borderlands games, Harley Quinn (some versions are CE, but still more about the C than the E.)

LE: Doctor Doom, The Party (from 1984), Magneto (usually)

NE: Palpatine, Thanos, Dr Eggman, Bowser

CE: The Joker, Sabertooth (from X-men) Xenia from Goldeneye.

What Would Batman Do?


Depends on the version (haven't their been dozens of different interpretations of him?)


Check the link.


Considering there are multiple timelines in the DC multiverse he is literally different people in different works, so he can be more than one alignment. Anyway this is kind off topic so anyone have some other examples to suggest?


Deadpool: Chaotic Neutral.

Optimus Prime: Lawful Good.


I resent that there's even a question here: Batman is definitely LG. He might have some variance, but the "no killing" thing and related tropes are pretty stark. He's basically a really weird paladin archetype.

LG: Hermione Granger, Itachi Uchiha, Ned Stark, Jon Snow

NG: Link (BotW, although maybe debatable?), Hufflepuff

CG: Most Anime Protagonists, Naruto, Gryffindor, BotW Zelda (eventually)

LN: Ravenclaw

CN: Garfield, Jack Sparrow, Scrooge McDuck (Although he's sometimes good, I think?), Slytherin (at best)

LE: Agent Smith (Matrix), Davy Jones (Pirates of the Carribean)

According to TV Tropes: he started out as a jerk, then was softened as time went on (especially in the 1987 Disney version). Unless you read the Italian version.


Robin Hood: Chaotic Good

Richard the Lionhearted: Chaotic Evil

Bank of America: Lawful Evil

I think Spock and Data are Lawful Good.

Both have sacrificed themselves at one point or another to save other people as well as act with morality.

Granted the alignment system is lacking fidelity. :)
