Yourself? Pick LN, NG, CN, NE.Chaotic Neutral - Ultimate freedom lets you do as you wish, answering to no other.  But you are also ultimately alone.  Do you let concern for others temper your desire for freedom?  Gain 1d6 friends and become CG.  Do you abandon all concern about others and your own lonliness?  Wear more black and become CE.  Or is your manic quest for freedom instead restricting you in ways that you cannot see?  Perhaps all things in moderation, become N.Lawful Evil - The law has been a tool to serve your ends well, but now it stands between you and your depest desires.  Will you decide that no price is worth abandoning order (LN)?  Or will you cast aside the law and go your own path (NE)?Neutral Evil - Your own desires are all that matter, but others around you make ordered society.  Will you learn their ways and have their laws become your tool (LE)?  Or will you cast caution to the wind and try and topple their society because they stand in your way (CE)?  Perhaps your own desires begin to wear on you.  The constant struggle against all others is tiring, perhaps you could simply leave everyone else be, and look to yourself (N)?Chaotic Evil - Anger and hatred drives you to destroy all around you.  But will suceeding truly bring you what you desire?  Is it so important that you tear things down?  Why not simply claim them for yourself (NE)?  Or do you decide that it is the anger that keeps you from true freedom.  Your quest for destruction ties you to goals that prevent true liberation.  Cast them aside and simply do as you feel best (CN).</blockquote>
