[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6886960, member: 4937"] I think that this is another example of confusing personality with belief. Yes, stereotypically, we'd expect lawful characters to be much more focused and driven and serious than chaotic characters. But that doesn't really fully work. An example would be a CE character who is strongly and solely motivated by greed or by lust or by gluttony, and so takes enormous risks to obtain whatever it is that that character strongly desires - lying, stealing, even killing in order to get what they want. This focused selfishness at the expense of any risk, any hardship, danger, and the ire, disapproval, and wrath of society or really anything else at all, does not imply lawfulness. And monomaniacs and megalomaniacs are extremely focused individuals but are archetypally pure chaotic. So even incarnate chaotic beings can be single minded in their purposes. [/QUOTE]
