Hope you don't mind if I drop in? I saw this post on a few of my friends' lists, and this: "the sets "people interested in Fire Emblem meta" and "people interested in Magic: the Gathering color types" basically describes me XD
I pretty much agree with most of your character alignments, although I'd probably slot Ike in as Green/Red (in that order); aside from the "smash all the things!" (instead of "smash all enemy things!") part, he'd fit in swimmingly with the Gruul guild :P And post-possession I think Lyon fits well into Orzhov colors, although I certainly couldn't argue against Blue/Black either.
As for the chars you were on the fence about, I'd personally classify them as so:
Pelleas: Blue/White. This is a tough one, seeing as Pelleas never shows any sort of thirst for knowledge in a clinical sense, but in terms of his desire to find answers in Chap. 3, plus his general gravitation towards peaceful solutions (and willingness towards self-sacrifice!) suggests U/W to me.
Sephiran: Black/White. Being a faithful servant to (and sharing a few core beliefs with) a mono-white Goddess puts him in white, while his detached, pragmatic ruthlessness would suggest black (not completely dissimilar to Sorin, lord of Innistrad). Although you could probably make a good case for him being any color except...I guess red :P
Stefan: I would say Green, but he's mysterious enough (and I'm not well-versed enough in Tellius to say) that he could fit basically anywhere.
Forde: Probably mono-green. Else maybe green/white. He's a pretty salt-of-the-earthy type of person.
Joshua: Mono-red all the way, mannn! 8D Running away from his titles, living his life by the flip of a coin, and being a mercenary, to me, is the epitome of a Red occupation :P He's definitely a heroic character, but he's neither as inflexible/lawful as white nor as ruthless/ambitious as black, and I don't see either the blue pull towards knowledge and artifice nor the green pull towards understanding and nature.
