Exactly.

but they do suggest certain things about each character..

The way they work in this game, yeah, they do. But realy, this isn't ideal: your alignment should describe you, rather than defining you. Alignment ideally is not a justification for an action, but rather a tool to describe your actions and determine how other people might see you. Infact, I've posted once before that I see everything on the record screen as being this way - simply a tool for describing actions and determining things from them. But that is for another thread.
