it's not so much status quo so much as... do you work within the rules or do you ignore them... case in point.. someone who gets into a position of power, then abuses their power, and the word of the rules. For example, a headmaster who uses the school rules to promote their own agenda-- they want, say, students to graduate with less knowledge about X. SO they hire a poor teacher, they skimp on their budget, and don't allow them new equipment, etc. Kids learn less, testing standards are lowered, and soon, people don't know about that topic as much any more. All legal.
Or, say there was someone that the headmaster specifically wanted to hinder... make sure his schooling was particulaarly disjointed, bad teachers, poor timing, lots of barely justified detention, etc Versus the chaotic evil one who might just arrange for his hindered student to be killed.
Working within the laws, versus complete disregard.
As you say, Lilith could be lawful because she obeys the laws and follows them. She makes rules, and works within them. Alex doesn't CARE about hte rules, so, Chaotic. I don't think we know wnough about Abraham's methods to make a full analysis of his opinion... but with the train incident, we can probably pretty safely say chaotic because he disregarded laws and stand morality to get his point across. He WAS lawful, but it wasn't working.
ANd I don't really see how Diana's evil. Lawful good, to nuetral if anything :) I dont remember her doing many EVIL things. AS I recall, she mostly seems to want to help people.. even if she doens't always know what hte best way to do so is.
BUT we can, absolutly, agree about JOhn Manuelito. XD
