He's an individualist devoid of morals, plain and not-so-simple.

He's all about satisfying his urges, sating his lusts, and no means are too foul to reach the ends. If getting high means deep frying a baby in a wok, he'll fucking do it without hesitation. He can play nice if he has to, but the second there's an opening he'll take it. Chances are, Mister CE has trouble controlling his temper but that doesn't mean he's a cackling villain out to chew ass and kick gum. Selfishness without restraint, really, with discipline somewhat lacking in some ways but not others.

I masturbate to fat chicks.

I have played a few characters that may qualify:
>Mercenary captain who was an unrepentant hedonist, and would regularly goad local authority figures into fights, particularly local bluebloods goaded into duels. He would pick women up off the street, often forcefully, when it suited him. During times where he was employed he allowed him and his men to rape and plunder. Boisterous to a fault. He betrayed his employers several times when it suited him, and when doing so would often either kill off the employers or leave the country for a fresh start.
>Political Radical/Serial Killer. He was originally a political activist who was captured by the government and had his flesh warped into a strange form, but escaped. After escaping he began dismantling the government through a very lengthy string of murders. These included everyone from official figures, bureaucrats, to the families of governmental workers.
>Nationalist Terrorist, really pretty standard stuff for a nationalist terrorist here. Anti-government and bitterly angry at the world around him.

They are someone who is by their nature at odds with mainstream society. Like the soldier who comes home only to live forgotten on the streets, or the ex-con who who only understands life in jail; for whatever reason attempting to live in a lawful, regimented world for this person is like being a fish on a beach, desperately flailing around in the sand trying to walk alongside crabs. They were made for something different.

Also, they are entirely willing to cause others suffering in ways that are unjustifiable by "ends justifies the means" in order to reach their goals.

Closest thing I came to a CE character was in a Warcraft game.
>Leader of a Troll warband in service to an ancient and once powerful empire
>Said empire believes the world exists in cycles, and that the fall of their empire is the mark of the end of the current cycle.
>the end of each cycle begins with the destruction of the world and devouring of its inhabitants by their patron deity, only to be reincarnated in the following cycle
>but this world has stagnated and the lesser races keep progressing. On top of that they keep trying to stop god from eating them. Actively stopping every new distaster meant to destroy the world and its inhabitants.

>Which is why it's my job to single handedly wreak as much wanton destruction as one man possibly can. Murder everyone I can, bring enough suffering to the ones left alive that life isn't worth living, every building- every city to every dirt hut- will be burnt to ash, and every supremely powerful being responsible for the wellbeing of the planet will be either slaughtered or warped into some twisted wicked shadow of its former self

TL;DR: Have their explicit goal to be as destructive and hurtful as possible for the sake of some greater purpose.

Wasn't chaotic evil originally supposed to be someone who was not sane? As though there were no justification for a living person to ever align themselves that way so it defied sanity to even be like that?

Chaotic Evil was re-envisioned later but I think to restore sanity to Chaotic Evil one might by necessity take something away from Neutral and Lawful Evil which once belonged to they and they alone.....

Don't be surprised if what makes a Chaotic Evil character not seem like a raving lunatic or a complete jackass turns out to be their somewhat neutral or lawful-looking moments.

You know that guy who always listens to everythign you have to tell him, nods agreeably, then does somethign completely out of left field, totally disregarding what you had to say about it? Not that it was random - he's thought about it and it looks like he has a clue, it's just not the way you would have done it (or anyone ELSE would have done it). He's the kind of guy whon sees some loner and sits at his table and strikes up a conversation regardlessof what other people think of the person he's talkign to. He's the one who takes initiative with class assignments, and then never turns any of them in. He's the person who dresses down when everyone else is dressing up, and yet acts like he's just as dressed up as the rest of them; and when they're supposed to be blending in, he's standing out in the crowd, but not near the people who are trying to blend in because he'ss not out to cause them trouble.

He's not That guy - he's the one who takes That guy seriously, and then turns the campaign on it's ear by outdoing that guy unironically and purposefully, yet doesn't make the campaign worse by doing it and instead makes it better.

An individualist who respects others' wishes and individuality alike, and doesn't cause shit just to cause shit. That is Chaotic Neutral done right.

The character believes on a philosophical level that society and community are preventing people from becoming worthwhile on their own. That relying on others is a weakness. He sets out to prove his point, to prove that the constructs of society will inevitably fail, and to teach his lesson of self-reliance. He also belives pain and suffering to be the greatest teacher.

A wealthy billionaire who made his millions very deliberately producing products that would work just well enough to get widely used, but poorly enough that it would frustrate people to no end when something they came to depend on broke in some critical and user hostile way. He spends his excess money hiring drug dealers to prey on elected officials, and leave them in the lurch at critical moments, as well as spending money funding anti-government protesters. When asked why, he simply states that he was always fascinated at how ants scurried about when the hill was kicked, but would stay put as long as the hill wasn't too damaged, and he wants to see if humans react the same way.

Two come to mind immediately, one is a character I'm running right now. The other is a character from a web serial named worm.

Let's go over Web serial dude, his name is Jack Slash. He is all about conflict. He's the leader of a roving band of murder hobos called the slaughter house nine, and has earned a reputation on par with faux eldritch abominations. The thing that makes him work is that he keeps things in a near constant state of flux. His team members change regularly, he'll never use the same tactic twice (besides his opening, though thats to sate the ego of a team mate), and any scene he's in is inherently tense because no one knows what he'll do next. Highly recommend him as a case study.

My current character is a Swedish war profiteer in the 30 years war. He's lied, bribed, and outright blackmailed people just for the sake of money, which he uses to pull of successively more extreme schemes. The cycle continues until something goes wrong and things fall apart explosively, at which point Ezra will throw as many people as possible on the fire until he can stand safely above the flames. The only reason the party tolerates him is because he is absurdly well connected and will compulsively protect anything he deems an asset while in the execution stage. The central irony is that Ezra is effective mostly as a force multiplier, despite being an incredibly self centered character

A philosophical anarchist who believes throughly in the idea of disorder and chaos being the natural order of things; who takes no compulsions against doing horrible things to achieve his goals, but often does no more nor no less.

He has taken a whole people for hostage, and strived to take out the embodiment of peace and harmony in the world because she fundimentally is counter to what he believes is right in the world.

He has taken down a monarchy, and doesn't care for dealing with the aftermath.

The best Chaotic Evil character that comes to mind, that is taken seriously every time they are encountered.

Once played a D&D campaign as a mostly Neutral human dude who had a Symbiont from Eberon attached to him.

The dude was pretty easy going but the arm registered him as Chaotic Evil so I figured it would give my character a challenge when spending time around NPCs with Detect Alignment. it didn't, the DM never acknowledged character alignment after creation.

I'll admit, the character was heavily inspired by the Berserker character in DFO.

The easiest way to clarify that is to remind you of the way D&D alignments were originally framed: Law vs Chaos.

Law tended toward a stable social order over one's individual priorities with an eye toward a world that was predictable and orderly, and thus Good. Chaos tended toward an unpredictable social order that favored exploring individual advantages over that of the greater social good, and thus Evil.

So it is Law vs Chaos that is the basic morality operation in alignments, not Good vs Evil as everyone is used to thinking.

To bring it back, a Chaotic Evil character will be constantly thinking and working at how he can get his way. He may be quite law-abiding if it is in his best interest, or if he sees that his enemies are too powerful for him (hiding behind the law when he needs its protection only to discard it when he doesn't is classic CE). But given a way to gain an advantage with minimal risk to him, he will take it, legal or not.

The Hegel-Nietzschean concept of the Superman would thus be quite at home in the mind of a CE character. After all, any ideology that justifies his efforts to bend the whole world to his will is certainly one he can get behind.

That's not to say he's a psychopath or has no use for either rules, manners or etiquette. To the contrary, they all can be exploited for tremendous social gain, and the intelligent CE character would seek exactly that. I would not be surprised in the least to find a CE character able to recite from memory the most picayune rules of any card game. After all, he can use them to nullify the advantages of his opponents, and if it came to it, to justify his killing of his opponent in a scuffle (he dealt himself a card from the bottom of the deck officer, and when i objected his hand went to his gun-what was I supposed to do?)

I frequent the CE role. Our DM prefers one of us always plays a pot stir up as he calls it. It's usually me.
My current character seems like an upstanding fellow. At face value he is a great guy. I took an arrow for out cleric. Saved our paladin's skin in the midst of a goblin ambush and Got out fighter out of some extremely bad business with some slum lords... but I needed that trust. They all have things I want and need. Our Thief had figured it out and confronted me after following me into the sewers to find me trading gold off to an assassin.
He did not leave those sewers.

That is one of the ways I play CE.
>>
I like the idea of a guy who has a noble goal/goal aligned with the rest of the party who just has no limits about what he'd do to see that goal realized.

Like if the party was going to save the world from a big bad villain, he'd be totally on board with saving the day, but he'd rob a store for supplies, torture people for information, or stab through a hostage to reach the villain without blinking.

You know how "tricksters" are usually chaotic good? Just make them chaotic evil.

A lawful evil character is a dark knight, someone who desires to dominate and oppress but can be bound to his word. Neutral evil goes either way and chaotic evil is the unscrupulous opportunist who will not only resort to deception and blackmail when possible, but actively uses it as part of his repetoire.

Chaotic Evil is often depicted as entirely stupid (see: >>51879291) but if played well Chaotic Evil can actually be the smarter evil, if only because they don't cut out certain very useful though very underhanded tricks out of some kind of code. A chaotic evil "knight" can swear an oath of loyalty to serve his king until death only and specifically for the sole purpose of winning the king's trust so he can choke him to death later.

Depends on whether or not he holds a certain code of chivalry. If he just revels in battle but does respect certain rules like not attacking non-combatants, I'd call him Lawful Evil. If he just slaughters everything in the general direction his king points him to, I'd call him chaotic evil. That's actually a pretty interesting mechanic: a "knight" under the servitude of a lord only because it benefits them both: the "knight" gets to kill without ending up on the gallows, and the king would be better off with a guided projectile than an unguided one. He directs the "knight" at the enemy so he's not going around killing his own subjects.

Couldn't Genghis Khan qualify as Chaotic Evil?

I think Chaotic Evil is muddled because people view Chaotic Neutral a lot like Chaotic Evil (I do whatever I want).

I'd say that they should very similar alignments. Both being individualist and maybe a bit self centred. The Chaotic Neutral character probably has friends who they care about and would give for. The Chaotic Evil person is only in it for themselves though.

But Evil without insanity is hard any way. Unless you're some Charles Manson pariah you wouldn't actually self-identify as evil. And even he doesn't admit to being evil. Evil is kind of a dumb concept and you won't be able to write good characters that are also classified as evil per definition.

Someone who delights in the highly sane enjoyment of dominating and subjugating his fellow man. I'm sure none of you nerds have any experience with this, but the rush of beating the absolute shit out of another person (especially if you really think he has it coming) is not something to take lightly.

Oh, and the character also feels no need to be consistent or conformist.
>>
>>51880201
>>51880265
This goes all the way back to Plato's Meno-everyone seeks "good" as they construe it. So even a CE character would not think of himself as evil. He is just doing what is needed in his eyes to achieve his goals, which are obviously good (for him). And yet it is HIS goals that are always more important in the calculations of his mind, and that is the mark of evil.

The difference is in the way he takes his actions. Whereas a lawful character would strive to work within a social and legally acceptable framework, a chaotic character sees that framework as irrelevant-nice when it's on your side, and handy when you can use it against an enemy, but not worth bothering with if it's the only thing stopping you from getting what you want. The attitude of "rules are for losers and suckers" is quite fitting.

Someone free from morality but enslaved to their desires. Just like how a hero is bound by their code of honor, the villain is bound by their often self-destructive tendencies.

>>51880184
No, it's a highly evil perspective. A Neutral person still cares about friends and family.

Good: You generally care about everyone
Neutral: You generally care about friends and family
Evil: You generally care about only yourself.

Lawful: You are generally rigid in thought and action
Neutral: You are generally flexible in thought and action
Evil: You are generally spontaneous in thought and action.

>An individualist who respects others' wishes and individuality alike

I have to disagree with this part, but interestingly enough most game versions include this point. To an extent it's true but it's much more accurate to say the Chaotic Neutral respects a system (ironic descriptor, more like "way of life") where people are free to make their own choices, and he respects those that do. However, he has no respect for people who cannot take control of their own life and can't think for himself; he is an individualist after all. This is the part which is also included in official descriptions which doesn't make much sense if you put the original two together: since he is neither good nor evil he has no real motivation to hamper or help people in achieving their freedom. Therefore, since he is generally opposed to oppresion, he'll fight for his own freedom, however since he is in individualist he won't fight for anyone else's freedom. A real chaotic neutral character has no qualms about things like slavery, as long as he is not the slave.

She's not Chaotic though.

At worst Apollyon is Neutral Evil.

Further, what exactly is Apollyon? She can't just be a normal human. Is she the last remaining Goddess in an incredibly low magic world?

A character for 5e I was originally planning to be LE or CN would technically be CE by the 5e definition.

>Oathbreaker Revenant

They're able to get along in society not because they're "nice" (They're pretty much a constantly seething bitter asshole) but because they don't actively break laws since they have no reason to- however as soon as they find out someone has any relation to their killer (Their "Vengance" target is more than one person- he wants to kill every single worshipper of an evil god he was killed for as an intended sacrifice, amd if he could get to said god he'd certainly try to kill them too before being turned to paste), they start making WIS saves to avoid going full RIP AND TEAR on sight regardless of who it might be, from beggars to children to Kings. (and that's only after the party managed to convince them interrogations can lead to them finding more cultists to mutilate)

>>51885243
She is a normal human, the observables reveal a bit of her backstory including how she took control of the blackstones and how vikings raided her village and possibly raped her. Shes just an exceptionally dangerous individual, no magic, making her a goddess imo would'nt add anything and kinda detract from the human element

The usual rules of personality =/= alignment apply. There's really not much you to have to do to make a Chaotic Evil character work, people just rarely give it a serious try.

A Chaotic Evil character might just be completely devoted to a religion or philosophy that's both chaotic and evil, with an affable personality and the cunning not to break the law openly, but a complete disregard for them as long as no authorities are around. They might compulsively oppose the law while still planning all their escapes and their mundane life through meticulously.

Or a decent fairly common example is a character who's devoted to a particular hatred or revenge, separated from a Chaotic Neutral character by acknowledging but not caring at all about any collateral damage or self-destruction they'll commit along the way.

A common interpretation of CE is that a character has to be stupid and reckless to qualify but demons have been the prime example of CE for ages and they might not be devils, but there're plenty of instances of them being plenty cunning throughout DnD and PF.

>>51871471
A lot of horror monsters/villains are chaotic evil, so many I don't have to list them. Do your own research, OP.
>>
>>51872748
This is what a CE character believes.
>>
A fairly stereotypical loud, confrontational asshole who flaunts social and legal mores can just as easily be CE as CN, it's simply a matter of degrees. The CN jackass will throw his beer bottle at you and call you a cunt if you piss him off. The CE one will shoot you in the parking lot.
>>
I've had this idea of playing a character like an incompetent Skeletor and then hamming it way the fuck up. An utterly unrepentently egotistical Sorcerer with such delusions of grandueur that he just acts completely insane.

This idea is also made to work with a non-evil party as a lot of his the evil things he does would be stuff that he's completely incompetent at and not to be take seriously.
>>
>>51871471
Honestly? Its really the notion of "me, myself and I". Chaotic evil is, like the other evil alignments, is about extreme selfishness at its core. Not to say that they can't have relationships with other people, but they ultimately self serving to the point of treating others like disposable tools.

Chaotic just really determines how they go about it. As long as it works, a chaotic guy is happy to do it. Note this can work even for good intentions, for instance if the police ain't solving the local crime problems, then the chaotic evil guy might starting mass murdering crooks with no care of the consequences to homself or others. Or he might kill to take over or create a power vaccum just to see what happens.

Chaotic evil isn't a specific type of character, it is the core of the personality and what drives a character to do stuff. How they go about it is where different chaotic evil characters differ.
>>
>>51879043

> Describe a character that kills, rapes and murders constantly
> Seems Lawful Good to me

Only on /tg/
>>
The way I see it, the Lawful/Chaotic scale is all about personal limits, and the Good/Evil scale is all about selflessness vs selfishness.

So as Lawful Good would be someone who is selfless within the bounds of their own moral limits, Chaotic Evil would be someone who is purely selfish, with no boundaries that hinder their actions. They act based on what they want to do.

So Chaotic Evil is more predisposed towards stupid because so many people think that means "I can be lol so random," when the best CE characters are those that have a plan to work towards, and work within the bonds of society to enact them still being able to go all out whenever it would be needed to keep their plan going. No limits to stop your goal.
>>
>>51895662
Its close, but good and evil is more than just the selfishness/selflessness scale. Good is about the best result. How can people be happy without impeding others happyness? Where is justice? A good charecter strives for that result and indeed, often they dont mind sacrificing themselves in some way to achieve it. They know that even though their personal state might have worsened, they have improved the world as a result.

Evil, on the other hand, isnt just about putting yourself first. Oh thats part of it, but its also about cruelty. About not just being able to cause pain to others, but actively wanting others to suffer. Perhaps because it gives you joy, or perhaps you just dont care what you do to others as long as you come out on top. But the essence of evil is not just that you are out for yourself, but that you are not only willing but eager to harm others and watch the world burn to get there.

And its worth noting that alignment is a spectrum rather than hard definitions. The distance between a selfish neutral character and an evil character is often very small, as is the distance between an evil character who thinks they have a good reason to be evil and neutrally.

That's right, grandpa. Before 1976 it had only law, neutrality and chaos. Raise your hand if you were even alive back then. That's what I thought.

I think the root cause of a "chaotic evil" mentality is a complete lack of empathy. If you think it's hilarious to set a kid on fire who's not done a thing to you, you're chaotic evil.

You guys are on fucking 4chan.

Would someone who just loves to cause mischief, just for the sake of it, not qualify for chaotic evil?
Not motivated by hatred against a particular thing or group, just for the thrill of fucking with someone or subverting a thing others deem sacred.

I am like that at times.

>Chaotic Evil
Galactus-Will kill millions just to make sure he stays alive, wouldn't call him neutral because his tendency to sometimes announce his presence and sometimes just show up. Also he just gives dude crazy cosmic powers as he sees fit.

>Neutral Evil
Magneto-Bases his ideologies 100% off his own personal experiences and 100% tailored to his own kind (but only the ones that agree with him). Instead of fighting bigotry, violence, and supremacy with understanding, diplomacy, and equality he embraces the ideals that his oppressors used against him and tries to be even more bigoted, violent, and claiming to be the peak of human evolution.

Chaotic Neutral
Taskmaster-Can't be good or evil if you can't remember all the good and evil you have done. All he can actually care about is the "here and now" and usually his priorities are money. That's not to say he doesn't have a good side, it just only shows up when someone or something he cares about is in danger (or if someone pays him to be a good guy, or train good guys)

A deluded totalitarian zealot? A "revolutionary" leader leading the fight against a real or perceived evil while being even worse than it? Someone intoxicated with power? Someone who revels in the chaos he causes? Someone surrounded by other, like-minded zealots whom he would happily put against the wall when they outlive their usefulness or if they attempt to plot against him (which they probably do)? Someone who derives (possibly sexual) pleasure from watching a mass execution or just ordering someone to be hanged?

Also, he may or may not actually believe in his own cause and/or have legitimate grievances against the old order.

I think Muslims are more trustworthy, in the sense that you can consistently rely on them to hate the West and everything it stands for. Russia is unpredictable in the sense that they might actually flipflop to liking the West at times.

Pierre Beard-point is a former dock-worker turned professional gambler. His bulk and height help him intimidate or bluff his opponents and when he can't beat them fairly, he does it with his fists. Drunk more-often-than-not, Pierre likes cheap women and booze, expensive inns and antes, and dreams of one day owning an apple orchard.

Someone who is willing to hurt, or takes satisfaction in hurting, other people to get what they want, and dislikes, resents, or just doesn't respect the idea of organizations, traditions, communities, or laws. They don't work well with more than a few other people, disregard systematic rules for dealing with situations, and probably enjoy sowing discord and dysfunction in the course of their activities. Not crazy, just utterly selfish, and with a particular contempt for organization.
