Bumping this back up because the topic came up again with some of the same people, and we all agreed upon a 3rd axis for a potential campaign: "Ethos"
I think we may have had similar ideas.

Universal vs. Personal

Someone who is Universal in belief thinks that their way is the best or only way for reality to be. Someone who is personal in their belief feels that, for whatever reason, their outlook is for themselves alone and unique to them, and may even seek to stop others of similar alignment from spreading it; for example, a Personal Chaotic Evil fighter may try desperately to annihilate an evil army, because they're taking down all the weak victims he himself could exploit, and spends most of his time trying to stop other chaotic evil characters in order to make sure the world is ripe for his taking. A Universal Chaotic Neutral character may think that everyone else needs to be reminded of the uncaring and aimless nature of the universe, and so undermines all attempts at order and subverts or makes a laughingstock of both heinous villains and valorous heroes alike.

A Neutral character, along this axis, is someone who thinks that either only some people can be like he is, like a special group or organization, or else that his alignment can function perfectly well with others.

More to come if there is interest.
