- Хаотично-добрый (англ. chaotic good) персонаж действует в соответствии с велениями своего сердца, не обращая внимания на мнение окружающих. Он совершает добрые поступки не по букве закона, а по зову своей души. Он считает неверным, когда кто-либо пытается запугать других и заставить их действовать определённым образом. Его ведёт по жизни собственный «моральный компас», который указывает на добро, хотя это направление может не соответствовать пожеланиям общества. Данное мировоззрение удачно комбинирует свободомыслие с добродушием.

Likely to take a intuitive approach to The Golden Rule, caring about other people's feelings and needs without having to calcify it into specific rules. Some flavours of Chaotic Good include:
* Type 1 are those who are more Chaotic than Good. They value freedom, and feel that they and others should be free to pursue their own desires- it just so happens that what they desire is to do good. They do not see doing good as a "duty" and may actively resent any attempts to compel them to do good even if the stakes are high, but will probably end up doing them anyway, justifying their actions by saying that this is what they want to do anyway. They are also the Type most likely to get annoyed by being called "The Hero" or something similar in context, though in practice this is often a Suspiciously Specific Denial. This is also the type most likely to be a Lovable Rogue who commits crimes for their own gain, but balance it out with Never Hurt an Innocent and doing lots of good elsewhere in their lives.
* Type 2 are those who are more Good than Chaotic. They desire to do good, but also feel that they have a responsibility to do good, and view freedom as a secondary (but still important) concern- essentially, they feel that being good is the price of being free, and they are more likely than Type 1 to use the law to achieve a good end. They are not opposed to the Lawful system and may even accept it as necesary or even good, but they will rarely if ever let it get in the way of doing what they feel is right, sometimes making them a herioc example of The Unfettered. However, this means they risk trampling on the rights and freedom of others and may push them into Well-Intentioned Extremist territory if they are not careful.
* Type 3 are those devoted to a Chaotic Good cause- Freedom Fighters, benevolent anarchists, and anyone who feels that Freedom generally leads to Good, and vice versa. They usually believe Rousseau Was Right, and try to promote a society with as little government as possible, or overthrow a corrupt oppressive regime without getting drawn into the politics behind replacing it with something better. They do not believe in The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized and the very concept is often their worst nightmare, and they will do everything oppose or at least minimize any such trend (so long as they can be convinced that such is actually occuring, of course). For this type, the danger is being blind to the risk that their cause may be corrupted, or has little chance of achieving its end, and if they are not careful they may end up unintentionally creating something even worse than what they fought.
* Type 4 is a fair balance between Types 1 and 2. They believe in doing good and in their freedom to do good, but have a grudging or even healthy respect for Lawful Good methods or types who pursue goodness by other means. Essentially, they believe that they should be allowed to be free and good as they see fit, but recongise that the rest of the world is more complicated and that whether the time is for freedom or goodness is down to a case by case basis, and will try and seek the middle ground. They try to be vigilant against the Chaotic Good danger of being judgemental on matters Lawful as best they can, though they are not immune to it. Unfortunately, characters of this alignment are the most likely good characters to be opposed by the Hero Antagonist. An important aspect of Chaotic Good freedom fighters is that they excel in toppling corrupt regimes, but are often pretty terrible with power and responsibility themselves (as some of the examples show). A Chaotic Good character faces a tightrope walk even more narrow than most Lawful Good characters face because of their competing interests in being a free spirit that wants to do good in the world, and their general disdain for the authority and control over people's lives that they would be wielding to try to do that good. Generally, one of several things happens because of this:
* Riding Into the Sunset - They just abandon authority altogether.
* Delegate their power to a friend or chancellor of some kind. This isn't always the best idea.
* They decide that the best thing to do with power is just sit on it, and keep it out of more dangerous hands. Doing so winds up making for fairly poor terms in office.
* Shift in Alignment - They just fail to reconcile their philosophy and their practical reality, try to reach too far with one campaign or another, and slide in alignment, either admitting the use of law and order, and sliding to Neutral Good, or Jumping Off the Slippery Slope to Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Evil. Chaotic Good can be considered the best alignment because it combines a good heart with a free spirit. Chaotic Good can be a considered a dangerous alignment because it can disrupt the order of society and punishes those who feel the need for a social framework around themselves. If you have a difficulty deciding which alignment a good-aligned character belongs to, the main difference between Lawful Good, Neutral Good and Chaotic Good is not their devotion to good, but the methods they believe are best to promote it:
* Even though there are some situations where they can't always use this method, Lawful Good characters believe the best way is to have a specific, strict code of conduct, whether self-imposed or codified as a law. Their first impulse when making a moral decision is to refer back to this code; those with externally imposed systems (codes of laws, hierarchies, etc.) will try to work within the system when those systems go wrong. Depending on whether they are more Lawful or more Good, they will either refuse to break the code even though it would hurt someone, or else break it only very reluctantly, and only when it would hurt someone if they kept their code. Lawful Good characters have to be very good at Taking a Third Option.
* Neutral Good characters are indifferent to Order Versus Chaos, and their only interest is in doing good. They will use whatever means will promote the most good, whether that means tearing down a code of laws, following a code of laws, creating an orderly society, causing the breakdown of harmful kinds of order, or staying away from society altogether. Their only goal is to do good, full stop.
* Most Chaotic Good characters don't constantly break the law, but they cannot see much value in laws (or, for weaker-CCGs, do not see the value in laws that do not function solely to punish evil). They believe that their own consciences are their best guides, and that tying themselves to any given code of conduct would be limiting their own ability to do good. They do not get along with anyone who tries to instill any kind of order over the Chaotic Good character or others, believing these people to be restricting their freedom and the freedom of others; however, most Chaotic Good characters will respect the right of others to impose strong codes of conduct on themselves. Chaotic Good characters often focus very strongly on individual rights and freedoms, and will strongly resist any form of oppression of themselves or anyone else. Chaotic Good character types typically include:
* Cloudcuckoolander - Those who aren't outright Chaotic Neutral
* La Résistance (Unless they resist to enforce a new set of rules than the existing rule, in which case they are Lawful Good.)
* Ragtag Bunch of Misfits
* For Happiness
* Blithe Spirit, who loosens up excessively straitlaced communities
* Heroes of a Rage Against the Heavens plot
* Just Like Robin Hood
* Ethical Slut, and her friends Good Bad Girl and Manic Pixie Dream Girl
* Chivalrous Pervert and his buddy the Handsome Lech.
* Naughty Is Good
* Destructive Saviour: Sure, he'll blow up your town, probably (inadvertently) breaking most of your laws, but he means good, honest! He's also destroyed the threat, but along with the threatened place.
* A Barbarian Hero is perhaps one of the oldest embodiments of this trope.
* Rebellious Spirit
* More heroic versions of the Byronic Hero
* Gentleman Thief and Classy Cat Burglar, if they aren't Chaotic Neutral.
* Shonen protagonists, if they're not Neutral Good.
* The red oni of a good-aligned Red Oni, Blue Oni pair will often qualify, for the same reasons.
* Almost any Hot-Blooded Hero. As if rules could constrain this burning passion!
* If they are the protagonist, a Cowboy Cop or a Military Maverick. Otherwise, they might be Chaotic Neutral.
* Conspiracy Theorist, when they're a hero.
* Most Rebellious Princesses. You know why.
* Most good Boisterous Bruisers.
* Most heroic Unfettered
* Lovable Rogue: if they are not Chaotic Neutral
* The id character in a heroic Freudian Trio
* By obvious reasons, heroic Tricksters
* Soapbox Sadie
* The Last DJ
* Karmic Tricksters can be this.
* Many heroic berserkers. Others, such as Ideal Hero, The Messiah and Friend to All Living Things, can vary between Lawful Good, Neutral Good and Chaotic Good. Examples of Chaotic Good include:

Chaotic good combines a good heart with a free spirit. This alignment is seen by some to be the most heroic, as it includes those who seek to benefit others (good) from outside the hierarchy of society (chaos), a common motif in literature. It also includes those compassionate individuals who exist within that hierarchy, but insist upon doing things their own way. Chaotic good characters tend to be strong individualists marked by kindness and benevolence.
