[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3636703, member: 2067"] Of COURSE Chaotic can have a code of conduct, even one that's spelled out. I mean, they can fall from Chaotic alignment into Lawful, after all. In addition,the Paladin of Freedom seems a specific kind of Chaos: that of individual autonomy. So for the purposes of the Paladin of Freedom, here's an idea: "I will not suffer captivity. All beings are created with Free Choice, the noblest of thoughts, the ability to determine for themselves what their lives will be like. It is sinful to infringe upon this in any way. One may not be held captive, in body, mind, or spirit, in any way. One may not be under another's control -- that is destroying this noblest essence. We are free to choose, free to fall, and no being may take that from us." A Paladin of Freedom would believe in the Emancipation Proclamation, in a lot of the rhetoric of revolutionary America, in some of the bolder theological ideas about Free Will. It may be pointed out by critics that the Code is itself a cage for the Paladin's thoughts and actions, but a Paladin of Freedom wouldn't see it that way. Rather, the Code has been embraced freely, and can be abandoned at any time, though a power arises from its specific application -- the love of a free spirit in all.
