Alignments fit in a 3 x 3 matrix. You have the moral stance - light/good, neutral and dark/evil. On the other axis you have the behavioural stance - lawful (tends to do things by the book and be organised), neutral (not so rigid about rules; more spontaneous) and chaotic (screw the rules, I'm gonna have fun!).
