Definitely Chaos tho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anarchist (Selfish): Spoiler Quote Anarchist (Selfish) This type of character likes to indulge himself in everything. He is the insurgent, con-artist, gambler and high roller. The uncommitted freebooter who is more likely to be a crime-fighter because he enjoys the thrill of danger and excitement, or fame, than any cause. This character will at least consider doing anything, if the price is right, or the challenge alluring enough. These characters are intrigued by power, glory and wealth. Like a moth drawn to a flame, the anarchist is attracted to the lure of the impossible, dangerous, and the underdog. Life has meaning, but his has the greatest meaning. Laws and rules infringe on personal freedom and were meant to be broken. He will not hesitate at using strong-arm techniques, breaking and entering, theft, harassment, destruction of private property, and so on. This can also include acting as j udge, jury, and executioner. These characters are usually the daring vigilantes or anti-heroes who feel the end justifies the means. The anarchist aligned person is always looking for the best deal and self-gratification. He will work with good, selfish or evil to attain his goals. The anarchist is continually teetering between good and evil, rebelling against and bending the law to fit his needs. Mercenaries and thieves often fall into this category. Quote Nature:Celebrant The Celebrant takes joy in her cause. Whether the character’s passion is battle, religion, foiling her rivals, or reading fine literature, it gives the Celebrant the strength to withstand adversity. Given the chance, the Celebrant will indulge in her passion as deeply as possible. Unlike the Fanatic (p. 91), the Celebrant pursues her cause not out of duty, but out of enthusiasm. Crusaders, hippies, political activists, and art enthusiasts are Celebrant Archetypes Demeanor: Eye of the Storm Despite your calm appearance, chaos and havoc seems to follow you. From burning cities to emotional upheaval, death and destruction circle you like albatrosses. For you, unlife is a never-ending trial with uncertainty around every corner. Gang leaders, political figures, and other influential individuals exemplify the Eye of the Storm Archetype. Nature is what you are in the dark while demeanor is the personality you present to the public. As you can tell, I'm not much on D&D - those are from my preferred games (Palladium and OWoD). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
