You could apply this system to any SF novel/film/series developed enough to include a large cast of characters. For instance, Obi wan Kenobi is a Lawful Good, as is the Imam in "Pitch Black", and Captain Kirk, except on the rare occasions his crazy-ass Chaotic Neutral comes out. Spock and Captain Jack Harkness are both True Neutrals. Emperor Palpatine is a Lawful Evil. Han Solo and Riddick are both Chaotic Neutrals. Miles Vorkosigan is the very model of a Chaotic Good.

There aren't that many Evil characters in ST: even the early versions of the Klingons adhered to a warrior code that made them Lawful Neutrals. Of course, if you include characters confined to a single episode, Khan is the Lawful Evil ruler from hell.

I'd like to try this with Song of Fire and Ice (I know it's a Fantasy: quibble, quibble),

Eddard Stark: Lawful Good
Jon Snow: Neutral Good
Araya Stark: Chaotic Good
Stannis Baratheon: Lawful Neutral
Tywin Lannister: True Neutral
The Hound: Chaotic Neutral
Jaime Lannister: Lawful Evil
Cersei Lannister: Neutral Evil
Joffrey Baratheon: Chaotic Evil
