[QUOTE="Lonely Tylenol, post: 3336874, member: 18549"] I came up with a pretty good rule of thumb to determine whether a character is chaotic or not. Answer the following question: What do you think of The Man? If your answer is something like, "just a concept that a bunch of paranoid hippies invented to justify their lashing out at innocent people," you're probably lawful. If your answer is something like, "The Man tries to keep people down because he doesn't want to share power or wealth with anyone," you're probably chaotic. If your answer is something like, "what? Oh. Oh yeah, 'damn The Man'," you're probably neutral. For the record, people over 19 who have a problem with authority are probably of the opinion that authority tends to become corrupt and fail to serve the purpose it was erected to serve, and therefore have a rational (if debatable) reason to feel that way. One must trust that a person in a position of authority is not a scoundrel who abuses his authority. One must also trust that a system of distributing authority is well-designed and not rife with corruption. This trust may or may not correspond to the actual matter of fact. [/QUOTE]
