User blog comment:Sega Fro/Cloaked Legends 2- Some Other Kinds of Alignments/@comment-26322734-20150905182449/@comment-26322734-20150905184213

Lawful means you follow some rules of some kind. Chaotic means you can change your rules at will, or just follow none, and Neutral just means you have some semblance of balance (or, in the case of Neutral Evil, you're out for yourself). These alignments can actually be played to any extremes and still fit within the nine alignment criteria (for example, a Chaotic Evil character can just do things for the evulz, or they can be doing it because they're a social darwinist that believes they're an apex predator of some kind, and thus can hurt people at will).
