Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreenTengu" data-source="post: 6689592" data-attributes="member: 6777454">I am seeing interpretations here so insanely broad for Chaotic Neutral that all people in all ways forever and always would be labeled that alignment. You leave no possible room for Lawful at all.The typical bounty hunter or a contract thief that needs to hold fast to their word. The moment you aren't going to break promises because it happens to be fun or convenient at that particular time, the moment you can be trusted to carry out a mission you have been given-- you have utterly lost any claim to the "Chaotic" label, even if you want to argue it is only being done to maintain a reputation-- you have still become "Neutral" or possibly even "Lawful".Being Chaotics means CHAOS. It is the root word. It means intentionally rebelling against all rules and order just because there are rules and order to rebel against just as much as being Neutral Good means doing good whenever there is good to be done. A Chaotic Neutral person will not keep their word, will not act in a trustworthy manner and will not look out for friends or companions or even value the lives of anyone around them to "maintain a reputation" which is just another way of saying "for the sake of honor" than a Neutral Good person would go around beheading innocents, raping slaves and raiding and razing villages for the sake of keeping up a proper reputation so that they can continue to function easily within the society.Maybe you are looking for True Neutral? Being in flux, devoted neither to chaos or law, evil nor good but probably easily swayed or threatened into going one direction or another with the right pressures-- will do good if appealed to the right way, will support evil if threatened or riled up with propaganda, will rebel against societies norms to some degree, but will also support their nation and leader to a point... That is True Neutral.Chaotic Neutral means being as devoted to breaking down all order in the world and violating every rule in the book to the same degree a Neutral Good is devoted to Good, a Lawful Neutral is devoted to ordering the world and expanding the power of the state and a Neutral Evil is to selfishly empowering themselves throughout their lives.A Chaotic Neutral character would be incapable of abiding by the responsibilities that would fall upon them as a member of a party and would protest anyone who attempted to exert any sort of leadership and the very moment some sort of disagreement arose that slightly inconvenienced them for a moment, they would pack their bags and head off as submitting themselves to the will of the party goes against every fiber of their being.</blockquote>
