I love these Tier Charts, and I haaaad to make one for the infamously gray morality of the characters in my 'Red Lantern' series.
With Red Lantern in particular, you really can't boil down characters to 'good' or 'evil'. I feel like this system works better. Some of y'all will likely disagree with classifications and that's okay. I know I missed a few characters, but this thing was getting BUSY. Also, several characters here honestly belong in multiple sections (See: Grayson) but again, IT GOT BUSY UP IN HERE. Feel free to make your own!
Cinnamon Roll – Tulimak Tawnahowac, Dhaval, Grant Wickham, Esha
Victims Fighting Back, We Stan. – Amon, Ahsan, Delilah Denholme, Puquanah
Morally Questionable, But in a fun way – Grayson Reed, Ransom, Mikhail
Agonizes Over Every Wrong They’ve Done (But Still Does Them) – Finnegan Ambrose, Johannes Cuthbert, Shivah (Alongsaa), Manjusha Immar
No Morals, We Die Like Men – Heinrich R. Cross, Isolde, Kadar, Lochan, Klaus Richter
Literal Unrepentant Murderer – Elekk Zakkra, Rourke, Anala, Shadow
Probably the Actual Villain Of the Story – Luther Denholme, Rajne Immar, Gezan Archambault

I think Shivah agonizes less about her darker feelings, she has more anger. Maybe that's just because you don't get much of an internal perspective on Ransom, so that fact may not be as clear to the audience. And yeah, Luther's always been the villain. . . to the Cathazra. Given what he's done, I feel he's earned it.

If Luther is a villain to the Cathazra, wouldn't Grayson get the same position as villain to Amurescan shipping? He seems to fit more in the morally questionable category, but then again, I don't write the characters and I am nowhere near as knowledgeable as you, their creator, on their motives, moral standing, etc.
Anyway, hope you're well, and I can't wait to read your future works! :)

I mean Luther is kind of a victim of circumstance. Doesn't make the Cathazra incident right, but thirst revenge for your slain colonists can make you do really stupid and heartless acts.
Same thing goes for Zakkra. Yeah his thirst for vengeance is pretty crazy, and we still don't know all the details, but I wouldn't want Amurescan colonists on my shores either. You never can trust theocracies to not commit genocide, especially when you're a wholly different species.
And Isolde, Kadar, and Lochan have some redeeming qualities. Definitely complex characters.
And good for Manjusha, even though she really hasn't had her real moral awakening quite yet.

you left out Raja and Lucious, but found room for Klaus, Xeli, and Shadow?
Raja: morally questionable, but in a fun way. Lavanya: victims fighting back we stan. Lucious Denholme: no morals, we die like men. Jerimiah Irving: the actual villain (no probably about it). Methoa'nuk: literal unrepentant murderer. Gabriel: agonizes over every wrong they've done (but still does them). Connall Printergast: literal unrepentant murderer.
I'm glad that you had the wherewithall to put Luther in the actual villain category because he really deserves it. Even if he is the protagonist he does all the wrong things for all the right reasons
Also, I'm rereading OTBP right now. the whole plague part hits diffrently in 2020

Here you go! Tulimak is from an unreleased book though, 'Kindred'. It'll be coming out soon.

I know no one reads these posts anymore, but Luther Denholme is to me the most moral of all the characters. He has been brutalized and rejected his entire life, but still fight to protect others. His wrongs are committed to avoid a greater catastrophe. Wrongs that are necessary, but no one else has the courage to shoulder the burden. Grayson, on the other hand, went from spoiled rich boy to pirate because he was bored. And I think he's BS-ing about getting dragged into things by Luther. He's smitten, and loves to get dragged into things by Luther. Shiva's judgement is so questionable she could have killed the man who saved her life, more than once, killed the lover of her best friend, because she couldn't bother to ask. Hardly someone I'd want to be around. And there's nothing morally questionable about Ransom. Puck is his world, the one he'll do anything to protect.
