As it stands there are nine outer planes, one for each of the alignments. However, I feel that this ignores the nuances of alignments. While there are nine basic alignments, there are also alignment tendencies. For example, neutral good (lawful tendencies) or neutral (chaotic and evil tendencies).
I present an expanded alignment table below. In this scheme there would be 25 outer planes, divided into the 7 Upper Planes, 7 Lower Planes, and 11 Concordant Planes.

Does anyone have suggestions for what each of these 25 outer planes should be like?
