If he gave his word, he did his best to keep it.I had his alignment as CN.  He lived by a personal code.  He valued personal strength and honesty because lying was a sign of weakness.  When he (rarely) gave his word he kept it and he wasn't unpredictable because he wasn't insane.  He was loyal to his friends because he wasn't a loner or a sociopath. But it was his code, and only his.  He thought most external rules were pointless and everyone should seek their own path. He didn't care about titles, wasn't particularly motivated to help others unless he got something out of it.I really don't understand why someone who doesn't believe in external authority is automatically going to have completely random behavior, most mentally stable people do not.  Same way that someone who is lawful can be spontaneous as long as it's not breaking any rules they consider applicable.EDIT: just be clear - I think his alignment was accurate even if it only represented one small piece of who he was.</blockquote>
