Alternian tabletop games, similar to human tabletop, often utilize a form of "alignment" for characters. In human D&D, for example, this takes the form of the Lawful/Chaotic and Good/Evil alignments, where lawful and chaotic tend to describe a character's own adherence to personal value, respect for authority, and so on, while good and evil tend to describe a character's moral stance, selfishness or selflessness, or end goals. This results in 9 possible alignments. Alternian D&D (typically written as "D∧D" instead) too has a similar concept, but instead has the concept of HEROIC/JUST and Pacifistic/Bloodthirsty alignments.
