Chaotic Good: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Gundam]]'':

** Kamille Bidan from ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Zeta Gundam]]'', an angry young Newtype who has a problem with authority, but often shows great generosity and love to those he cares for.

** Judau Ashta from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Gundam ZZ]]'' starts out as either this or [[Chaotic Neutral]], and definitely ends as this, since his main concern is stopping the war and protecting his friends.

** [[Mobile Suit Gundam F91|Kincaid]] [[Crossbone Gundam|Nau]], the [[Ace Pilot]] for the resistance group Crossbone Vanguard, opposing Jupiter Empire in an attempt to save Earth.

* [[Comicbook/Spider-Ma|Spider-Man]] can be this sometimes. Like the [[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]].

* [[The Creeper]] walks the line between Chaotic Good and [[Chaotic Neutral]] in most of his incarnations, but he considers himself one of the good guys.

''[[The Creeper]]'': Good. Definitely good. }}

* [[Depending on the Writer]], [[Punisher]] can definitely fall into this. But since most writers tend to be [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|cynical]], he's often portrayed [[Chaotic Neutral]] or [[Lawful Neutral]] at best. At worst he is [[Lawful Evil]], little more than a principled but sadistic [[Serial Killer]].

* [[Anger Management|Buddy Rydell]]'s therapy techniques to help Dave and [[Teach Him Anger]] include such shady activities as paying a transvestite prostitute, stopping the car in the middle of traffic, and making him confront a Buddhist.

* [[Dirty Harry]] is clearly this, despite being a police officer. He frequently breaks laws, and is remarkably blunt in his criticism of them.

'''Callahan''': Well, then, the law is crazy. }}

* Kevin Flynn in ''[[Tron]]'' acts like an overgrown teenager, and cheerfully uses his hacking not only to try and prove Dillinger's theft but to make his traffic tickets and phone bills vanish. What prevents him from going completely [[Chaotic Neutral]] is that he genuinely cares for the people he allies himself with. {{spoiler|He seems to have clawed his way into [[Neutral Good]] by the sequel}}.

* Mal from ''[[Firefly]]'', and probably some of the other main characters. A good illustration of this is "The Train Job": he's perfectly willing to steal, but as soon as he finds out that the stolen package contains desperately needed medicine, he returns it--''and'' the money he was paid to steal it. Mal's chaotic nature is lampshaded in ''[[Serenity]]'', where Fanty and Mingo point out that he is completely unpredictable. Inara also points out this when she comments that she never has any idea "what Mal" she is dealing with, and has seen too many versions of him to truly understand him. And that's before we even consider his past (of fighting for independence against a strong centralized government) or statements like "That's what governments are for, to get in a man's way."

** River also definitely fits this alignment, even without factoring in her insanity. She actively cares about the rest of the crew and is perfectly willing to hurl herself into harm's way to save them, and is ''definitely'' not the kind of person who is bound by rules or laws.

'''River''': We meddle. People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think. Don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. }}

** Jayne Cobb definitely ''isn't'' this, but the community of Higgin's Moon in "Jaynestown" ''thinks'' he is, provoking major confusion on the part of the crew.

* Lloyd of ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' also. The only rules he respects are his step-dad's Dwarven Vows, and not even all of them.

* The Assassin Order from [[Assassin's Creed]], including the main characters in each game (Altaïr, Ezio, Desmond). They believe in free of will and the right of individuality. However, their creed explicitly says that they must break the laws of men to fulfill their goals. As Ezio says:

* [http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i212/Kerrah_photos/CHAOTICGOOD.jpg Rexxar] in ''[[Warcraft]] III'' is right on the edge between [[Chaotic Good]] and [[Chaotic Neutral|Neutral]]. He helps the orcs fight off an invasion, in the process being declared the official champion of the Horde, but afterwards retreats into the wilds, not caring for civilisation and all of that nonsense, but promising to help the orcs if they're ever threatened again. After defeating Admiral Proudmoore, the man behind the invasion, he tells the admiral's daughter to be proud of her father and remember him as a great warrior.

** Tirion Fordring of ''Warcraft'' disregards the wishes of everyone in his society to help an orc who saved his life. In exchange his order of Paladins strips him of his powers and plan to execute him until the Orcs save him. It's only later he notices that despite breaking the law, he can still channel the light.

* ''[[Baldur's Gate]]''

** Minsc (in the second game, changed from [[Neutral Good]] in the first, and with reason).

** Sarevok, the [[Chaotic Evil]] villain of the first game returns in the second as an ally and can be convinced to become Chaotic Good.

** And we can't forget Nalia, the [[Rebellious Princess|Rebellious Noblewoman]] who is trying her very best to help people and has a profound distaste for the class system

** Also, Raiden, Meryl, and Johnny (Akiba) in ''MGS4'', though Akiba starts out as [[Stupid Good]].

* While [[Baten Kaitos]] has several characters who could be placed here, Kalas is definitely the most exemplary, although it could be argued that {{spoiler|what with his betrayal of the group he could be seen as [[Chaotic Neutral]] or even [[Chaotic Evil]]. However, when he rejoins the group, he definitely becomes Chaotic Good.}}

* Heart Aino from [[Arcana Heart]] wants you to know,that if something is causing any problems,she will gladly run off and deal with it. Without having to deal with any legal procedures,or [[Idiot Hero|a specific plan]]. She will fight her own friends,[[Apologetic Attacker|apologize for it]],and continue wrecking her way straight to the source of the [[SNK Boss|main problem's]] front door and break it down.With [[Love Freak|love]].

* [[Dragon Age]]: Leliana. Especially if you "harden" her through her personal quest; she's arguably a little [[Crazy Awesome|crazy after that]].

** Kenny, as Mysterion is definitely the Vigilante version of this trope.

* Wreck-Gar from ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' is Chaotic Good. He's a nice guy really, and he wants more than anything to help people and find his place in life. He just [[Blunt Metaphors Trauma|doesn't get metaphors or rhetorical questions]]. And, until it was suggested to him not to take suggestions, he was highly suggestible.

** Prowl from ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' is also Chaotic Good - he's constantly ignoring orders to do what he feels is right, even if that involves teaming up with villains. This can get him into a lot of trouble, not to mention it nearly killed him once.

* A ''lot'' of classic cartoon characters, especially those from ''[[Looney Tunes]]'', are either this or [[Chaotic Neutral]].

* From the horses' perspective, the eponymous main character of ''[[Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron]]'' is probably this alignment.

* Fry from ''[[Futurama]]'' is the [[Chaotic Good]] [[Idiot Hero]]. He consistently wishes to do the right thing, but will break any rule to do so. He also has a tendency to encourage his best friend Bender's kleptomania. However he doesn't intentionally hurt people (unless he really has to) and most of his actions are unselfish.

* [[Idiot Hero|Finn]] from ''[[Adventure Time]]''.

* Lance from ''[[Sym-Bionic Titan]]''. Though he's one of the good guys, he's been in jail on screen about three times and two of them were on Galaluna, where it would seem that this happens often. The two noted arrests, he happened to be [[Cassandra Truth]], but if the following quote from the King is anything to go by, it's happened several times in between.

'''King''' :*sigh* Lance. }}

** That's not even mentioning the episode "Phantom Ninja" , where he becomes known as the titular character and pulls off vigilante acts at night. Let's just say anyone he got to [[Curb Stomp Battle|would feel it the next morning]].

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'':

** Rainbow Dash: Brash, impulsive and self-centered, but good and loyal [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|at heart]]; lazy about her assigned duties, but not about general duty to others when they really need her.

** Pinkie Pie: Very nice, and just wants everyone to be friends and have fun, but also [[Cloudcuckoolander|slightly nuts]].

** Princess Celestia: From what we've seen, which is admittedly a little limited, she's a wise and benevolent authority figure who takes the well-being of her subjects to heart... but enjoys a little mischief, and has even approved of relatively harmless mayhem in preference of boredom.

* Rex of ''[[Generator Rex]]''. Always ready to risk his life to help total strangers or even people who flat-out hate and distrust him. Not so good with following rules or taking orders.

* [[Dungeons and Dragons (animation)|Dungeons and Dragons]]: Eric the Cavalier, [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]], [[Knight in Sour Armor]] streak, constant questioner of the Dungeonmaster, and team's Lancer. [[Cute Bruiser]] Bobby is also this alignment, as he's got more temper than good sense, and is the youngest of the kids.
