Line 105:
* Grell from ''[[Black Butler]]'' is an [[Axe Crazy]] Chaotic Neutral [[Shinigami]].
** Undertaker fits this trope better.
* Sousuke from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' could definitely be considered this - ''especially'' in the beginning. Though even currently in the story, he's not exactly a defender of justice. He only really seems to care if anything happens to Kaname. His status as being Chaotic Neutral is actually a major plot point in the series, and is [[Lampshaded|addressed]] many times. The fact that he's a mercenary also encourages this kind of thinking, as well. In his past, he especially encompasses this - he was shown to have actually been on the opposite side of many of his current colleagues (who have been shown to be good and righteous people on the side of justice), even going on missions to ''assassinate'' them.
* Dark Schneider, the [[Anti-Hero]] of ''[[Bastard!!]]'' is a ridiculously egotistical overpowered sorcerer, not to mention a [[Handsome Lech]]. He pretty much fights on the side of good against various [[Evil Overlord]] types mostly because he wants to rule the world himself. Note that this version of him (sealed in a [[Neutral Good]] human boy) is considered ''a saint'' compared to his earlier incarnation who was probably [[Chaotic Evil]].
* Bart from ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' starts out as a Chaotic Neutral, but as he journeys with Kenshiro, he gradually develops good in his heart and eventually becomes a Chaotic Good leader of the La Resistance fighters in ''Fist Of The North Star 2''.
Line 306:
* [[Warhammer 40000|ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS]]
** While [[Our Elves Are Better|the Eldar]] commonly fight against threats to Order and Good like the [[Robot War|Necrons]], [[Horde of Alien Locusts|Tyranids]] and [[The Corruption|Chaos]], above all they are concerned only with their survival, the deaths of innumerous members of the "lesser races" insignificant in comparison. Members of the Imperium describe them as a capricious, fickle force of the universe like the aforementioned Orks and Tyranids, yet realise that allying with them is often the difference between victory and defeat.
* If you stretch it, some of the Chaos Gods in both ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' might barely count as Chaotic Neutral. Nurgle might be the best example, since he does love you. A lot. Then we have Necoho and Malal, while not any of the greater chaos gods, act more benevolent than the other gods, in Malal's case, he practically only focuses on other chaos gods, since he represents chaos turned against itself, and Necoho is the [[Flat Earth Atheist|god of atheism]], which means he practically only targets religious cults of any kind, in addition to the other chaos gods.
** In the earliest fluff, all of the Chaos Gods ''were'' Chaotic Neutral, being neither good nor evil, but simply embodiments of a particular set of emotions and related concepts. Though many Chaos worshippers did end up sliding into extremism and becoming evil, it was perfectly valid to have a relatively "good" Chaos worshipper, who applied the teachings of their patron in a manner that was at least not actively dangerous to most, and maybe even sometimes beneficial -- a Khorne Champion who would never harm the weak, instead seeking to fight and kill only the strong and deadly in order to prove themselves worthy of Khorne's ideals, for example. Subsequent editions have played up the [[Chaotic Evil]] aspect of the Dark Gods, however.
*** The Chaos Gods are still Chaotic Neutral. They aren't really concerned about anything but themselves, and rarely even pay attention to the mortals, unless they perceive something as a treath to them (infact, most of the horribly evil things champions of Chaos do is to attract the attention of the Gods for even a split second so that they could be elevated to daemonhood). The Gods themselves don't really actively strive to do evil things, they just want to increase their own power. The Daemons and mortal followers of Chaos tend to be [[Chaotic Evil]], however.
