Springing off of a comment on an earlier post, I had this extremely nerdy idea a while ago, so why not?
Way back in the day, I played Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Yes, yes, it's true. I even had the original blue box basic D&D set.
By high school I had left AD&D behind and have never really looked back (for many years I was more of a Champions and GURPS grognard), but let's face it, everyone who has ever played a roleplaying game, even if they sniff disdainfully at AD&D, is familiar with the tropes pioneered by that game.
So, for anyone nerdy enough to be familiar with them, here's an AD&D alignment poll for my AQ characters. (Here is a summary of alignments if you need a refresher/guide.)
We're going by the original AD&D alignment chart.
Blink Dogs. Seriously.
Or if you prefer one of a bajillion images online mapping various fictional characters to alignments:
It took me a while to find one I agreed with. Also, The Wire is fucking awesome.
So, without entering into an extensive debate on the validity/utility of AD&D alignments (I had those debates so many times in high school...), consider this "just for fun."
I will let the poll run for a while, and then eventually post my own Absolutely Correct and Inarguable Word of God interpretations. :P
I'm not including all the minor characters because it's a pain — LJ requires I manually enter the fields for every single character. But feel free to speculate in the comments if you like.

Abraham Thorn - CN because fuck the rules. He's trying to do something good, I think, by doing bad things. I could also argue true neutral for him. I don't THINK he's devoted to any particular extremes. he's not Voldemort with a "I want to rules the world" attitude. He just, I think, doesn't want to see the government continue governing as it currently does. Maybe he DOES want to rule the wizarding world, but if he does, I think it's because he feels he can do a better job and provide a more stable, more fair world for the people who live in it.. and how is that any different then, say, the Rebel Alliance battling against the Evil Galactic Empire? it's not. It's all point of view...
