[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7880142, member: 7015476"] I actually think chaos is a bit of a special case among the alignments (for some similar and some different reasons from TN and NE). Those really are the three alignments with the deepest rabbit holes. Order can never give birth to chaos Yet are not all potentialities held within and birthed from chaos? Thense cometh order. Order. Born old. Stagnant. Yet it is the child. Not the parent. Chaos is in every way capable of generating order. But order DOES NOT generate chaos. Even though chaos may come about within orderly things, concepts of order are nevertheless simply not capable of actually [I]GENERATING[/I] CHAOS. There is a difference between these two concepts. One is fertile alone. The other only when acted upon by another. True exemplars of chaos should have rules. Only in so much that they adopt them randomly and drop them just as randomly. Randomly just as chaos can birth orderliness and then suddenly dissapate it. Something order does not ever do but is sometimes done to itself by the other. I think the toon idea is an amazing one. And actually i think it very easily shoulders the mantle of chaotic exemplar. They are capricious. They may do thing for no reason at all and then randomly impose a rule on themselves. Then 2 minutes later the rule is just gone. Gravity works works works works works oh wait no it doesnt, now it works again woops only works while you hild your breath. Oops mow it only doesnt work when you sing. Unpredictibility. Unpredictable intent. Structure without reason. Reason without structure. Oh have some orderliness. Oops now its all gone. [/QUOTE]
