@Time - Both factions have their motives, and most believe themselves to be fighting for the righteous cause.

Generally, the two factions are: 1) The Empire, and 2) The Revolutionary Army, specifically, Night Raid, which is the forefront of the revolution.

The Empire I will be writing mostly consists of its military and central government, which is located in the Capital. The Revolutionary Army is based in the South, and believes that the Empire needs to be taken down, by force when necessary, and is beyond saving. Contrary to this, those in the Empire defending it still believe that it is still worth fighting for. Some might not be aware of the corruption; others feel as if it is better to fight from within. Motives on either side depend on their experiences and individual character.

Night Raid fights the corruption by first assassinating targets (after thorough and extensive research) who have proven to be large problems within the Empire. They have not failed a mission yet.

No faction fits the "good" category by my definitions, but those in the Empire are more likely to label themselves as "Lawful Good" as opposed to those involved in the head of the revolution.

Both sides do not focus on negotiation; most believe they are past that stage, and acknowledge that there is no way to end these affairs other than force, fighting, and violence. Thus, most aren't Lawful Good already. Most characters are of a chaotic alignment. However, there are plenty on both sides who fight for righteous causes, or so they believe; therefore, one could say that there are heroes on both sides. But, they "know" fighting is needed, and both sides want to win.

Night Raid is likely going to be portrayed as more heroic types, but I hope there won't just be a heroic trope and villainous trope marching around this fanfiction.

I'm not quite sure if this is what you're questioning xD. Sorry.
