Line 124:
** [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Setsuna F. Seiei]] is this in season 1, but he seems to be leaning on [[Neutral Good]] during season 2. Being a member of Kataron, Lyle Dylandy, {{spoiler|the second Lockon Stratos,}} is this initially, but {{spoiler|due to him being a [[Double Agent]],}} he can be classified as a Type 4 [[True Neutral]]. {{spoiler|But after the final battle, he [[Becoming the Mask|left Kataron and permanently joins Celestial Being]] and became [[Neutral Good]].}}
* Yuu Isami from ''[[Brain Powerd]]'', a renegade Reclaimer who wants to stop his former peers from causing [[The End of the World as We Know It]] for their misguided ideals. At first an [[Ineffectual Loner]] who goes by his own rules, he maintains a similar attitude for most of the series. Has possibly shifted towards [[Neutral Good]] near the end.
* Natsuki Kuga from ''[[MaiMy-HiME]]'' is an impenitent truant who has lived at the borders of the law for most of her life to take down the evil Searrs Foundation. She doesn't make friends easily, but is fiercely devoted to those she has, and was even willing to {{spoiler|defend Nao, one of her bitter enemies, from an attack by her [[Psycho Lesbian|maddened friend]] Shizuru after realizing she and Nao were [[Not So Different]] after all.}} Her ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' [[Faux Action Girl]] incarnation Natsuki Kruger is probably [[Lawful Good]] instead.
** Mikoto Minagi fits this alignment most of the time, too. Though she's quite naive, having lived a sheltered life before going to school at Fuuka, she's [[Love You and Everybody|quick to make friends]] and is fiercely protective of them...[[Ho Yay|especially Mai]]. Her childlike nature also comes with a general distrust of authority, and an unfortunate susceptibility to [[Brainwashed and Crazy|mind control]].
** In ''[[Mai-Otome]]'', Shizuru lives and breathes this trope, outright encouraging the students to break the rules and follow their hearts...and incidentally flirting with almost every single one of them.
Line 147:
* [[Inuyasha]], as part of being a textbook [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]. Having been outcast from society his entire life, the guy honestly does not give a shit about rules or social expectations, but that doesn't keep him from being an ultimate decent person.
* [[Vigilante Man|Weiss]], the eponymous protagonists of ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]'', are a group of assassins who are willing to commit immoral murders of villains out of the law's reach in order to bring better tomorrows for the innocent lives.
* [[Deadpan Snarker|Tomoya]] [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Okazaki]] from ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]''. Before meeting with Nagisa he was an outright [[Chaotic Neutral]] who couldn't give a damn about academics at all, and after meeting with Nagisa, he still doesn't give a damn about school but walks extra mile to help others.
* [[Trickster Mentor]] Eriol Hiiragizawa, [[Deadpan Snarker]] Spinel Sun and [[Manipulative Bitch]] Ruby Moon from ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''.
* The Signers of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]], (Yusei Fudo, Jack Atlas, Akiza Izinski/Aki Izayoi, Luna and Crow Hogan)
Line 198:
* [[Wolverine]] of all spades is often portrayed this way, often defying authority to do what is good ([[Good Is Not Nice|in a not nice way]]). Heck, during the [[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]], he even ''spoke out against the [[Superhuman Registration Act]]'' despite [[Take a Third Option|X-Men officially staying out of the conflict]].
** His fellow member, Remy, (a.k.a. Gambit) fits into this bill. Justified, he's a [[Lovable Rogue]] after all
** Wolverine's [[Opposite SexGender Clone|distaff clone counterpart]], [[X-23]], also fits into this. Though being said, she started out as [[True Neutral]]/[[Chaotic Neutral]] territory when she first debuted.
* [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Johnny Storm]], a.k.a. the Human Torch, fits into the bill. During his early years, he tended to be very reckless, [[Leeroy Jenkins|charging in without thinking it over]]. But he's still a good person at heart. Overtime though, he slowly lost some of his chaotic tendencies and matured. But still maintained some of these traits from time to time (especially during the Civil War).
 
Line 221:
* Despite being either [[Lawful Good]] or [[Lawful Neutral]] in the comics, the [[Iron Man (film)|film version]] of [[Iron Man]] could fit here. He flies into a combat zone without telling anyone (almost getting himself killed by the US military in the process), deliberately {{spoiler|goes against SHIELD's advice and reveals he is Iron Man}} and, in the second film, {{spoiler|refuses to give the government access to his technology}}.
* The Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the March Hare are all this in [[Tim Burton]]'s ''[[Alice in Wonderland (film)|Alice in Wonderland]]''.
* Jake and Elwood Blues of ''[[The Blues Brothers]]'' manage to level a Chicago mall, a gas station, the front of Daley Plaza and several police cars in their quest to save the orphanage they were raised in. They also offer to steal the money first before getting the [[Mission Fromfrom God]].
* Yang Tianchun from ''[[Iron Monkey]]'' - he's basically a Chinese Robin Hood. By day, he's a doctor who makes rich people pay through the teeth while giving free service to poor people (he's the only doctor in town, so he can get away with it too). By night, he's an expert martial artist who steals from greedy government officials and beats up corrupt Shaolin Monks 4 to 1.
* In [[Batman Begins]] and [[The Dark Knight]], Batman is clearly Chaotic Good, to the extent that drug dealers end up calling the police on HIM.
Line 257:
** From the same author, [[The Elenium|Aphrael the Child Goddess]].
** And don't forget Silk, master thief, assassin, unscrupulously brilliant man of commerce, and spy.
* [[Jonathan Strange and& Mr. Norrell|Jonathan Strange]], for the most part, to contrast the more conservative and less sympathetic Gilbert Norrell (who's probably [[True Neutral]]).
* Most [[Robert Heinlein|Heinlein]] protagonists. He seemed to have a fondness for Chaotic Good.
* Patrick McLanahan and the old-timers among his Dreamland/HAWC/Sky Masters coworkers from the works of [[Dale Brown]]. They're willing to use their [[Cool Plane]]s and other equipment to protect the world and America as a nation, even if they have to disobey the Joint Chiefs and the President in doing so. His mentor Brad Elliott was even more contemptuous of authority. This is contrasted with the more lawful newcomers and superior officers he has to testily deal with.
Line 337:
 
== Tabletop Games ==
* Although it's mildly surprising to find any kind of good alignment in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'', Logan Grimnar of the Space Wolves has to qualify. He's the only one to [[What the Hell, Hero?|call out]] the Imperial authorities on genociding the people of Armageddon after Angron invaded, and has sworn never to let anyone do that kind of crap again if he can prevent them.
** Hell, the entire Space Wolf Chapter itself is Chaotic Good incarnate. They wouldn't open the [[Big Book of War|Codex Astartes]] if their lives depended on it, and pretty much tell the Inquisition to piss off after what happened on Armageddon.
** Pre-heresy Night Haunter aka [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Konrad Curze]] might have been a borderline case of this, having spent most of his youth being an illegal vigilante on his homeworld before the arrival of the emperor, hunting down and killing corrupt officials and criminals alike. He seems to have been fully aware of his [[Face Heel Turn]] beforehand, and it is highly suggested he let himself get assassinated because of that afterwards.
** The Soul Drinkers chapter of the Space Marines. They fight for the good of the people of the Imperium, but are no longer bound by loyalty to the Imperium, convinced that the Imperium as it is couldn't be what the Emperor wanted.
* Kord and Corellon in the core ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' setting.
** King Boranel of Breland in ''[[Eberron]]''. Courageous leader. Champion of warforged rights. Former treasure hunter. [[Boisterous Bruiser]]. [[Cool Old Guy]]. Even his ''enemies'' like him because of his desire to make the world a better place.
** Traditionally, this is the default alignment of most [[Our Elves Are Better|elves]]. Elves have a society that looks out for everyone, encourages freewheeling art and leisure activites, and fights for the freedom of others. (When they stray into the "snooty arrogant pricks" stereotype, though, they seem more [[True Neutral]].)
Line 386:
** Not exactly Chaotic Good, but Berserker (Hercules) might count, considering his [[Tear Jerker|total devotion to Ilya]]. Thanks to her keeping him in a perpetual state of madness, though, his true alignment is given as Chaotic Mad.
** It can also be argued that Shirou is this: he ''will'' fight to protect as many people as possible, regardless of anything other than the fact that someone needs saving. Cue people being pissed at him for wanting to save both friend and enemy alike with ruthless idealism.
* Tassadar and Jim Raynor of ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'', who reject the [[Knights Templar]] Conclave and the [[Lawful Evil]] Arcturus Mengsk's rule respectively in order to fight the Zerg Swarm. Jim Raynor later on becomes a [[La Résistance|Freedom Fighter/Mercenary leader]] fighting against the [[The Empire|Terran Dominion]].
* After being the [[Big Bad]] in the first ''[[Drakengard]]'' game and almost causing [[The End of the World as We Know It]]... Manah comes back in the second game as [[The Atoner]] and the leader of a group of [[La Résistance|resistance fighters]] against the excesses of the Knights of the Seal. While a rebel, her intentions are good (thus marking her adult self for this alignment), {{spoiler|but unfortunately, she does not realize that the gods still hold dominion over her, and are trying to make her re-enact the apocalypse of 18 years ago...}}
* Don't fuck with [[Tekken|Yoshi]][[Soul Series|mitsu]]. He's like ancient Japan Robin Hood [[Totally Radical|to THE MAX]].
Line 400:
* In the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series, Ken and Sakura are carefree spirits when it comes to street fighting, living for the thrill of the fight and not actively out to hurt anyone.
* Sol Badguy from ''[[Guilty Gear]]''. He means well and is [[The Atoner|an atoner for mistakes of his past]]. But he prefers to do things alone and doesn't get along with the law very much, which causes conflict with his [[Lawful Good]] rival Ky Kiske.
** His [[Spiritual Successor]] from ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'', Ragna the Bloodedge, also counts, as he is a [[One-Man Army]] who openly despises the current evil [[The Empire|Bureau]] and goes to lay waste to any and all of the Bureau's institutions and has sworn to destroy their oppressive reign. At worst, however, he can be [[Chaotic Neutral]] because none of this is done for altruistic reasons, like protecting/freeing the opressed people, but soley for his own desire to extract revenge on the NOL and [[Big Bad|Hazama]]/[[Complete Monster|Terumi]]. Consequently, he doesn't care if the many innocent [[Punch Clock Villain]]s of the NOL get caught in the crossfire and die during his onslaughts, ''because they're in his way''.
* From the [[King of Fighters]] series, we have Kyo Kusanagi. Who constantly skipped school, and would fight anybody even authority figures. He also doesn't really care about following the traditions of his family in no other way except for his own. The man is a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] to a T, but when he shows the gold moments they truly shine through.
* Juno and Nerids from ''[[Soul Nomad]]'' are somewhere between Chaotic Good and [[Neutral Good]].
