I think a solution could be not to call your character a cleric, not think of him as a cleric - simply as a divinely-favored hero. Your heroics has attracted the attention of a divine sponsor, who does nice things to you and those near you. Maybe you don't even like some of these things - for some chaotic characters, it might feel unsportsmanlike to have a sponsor from on high. This angle requires a bit of doublethink, tough, so it might be easiest to just think of yourself as a generic hero with a radio to the on-high supply depot and artillery.Another option is to forego a deity. Make yourself a mystic, something of a mage who has seen the greater truths and learned to tap into their powers. This is very much the wizard in armor in concept, but it does dodge many of the cleric clichés.Of course, may detail in this depend on what the system and campaign allows.</blockquote>
