Chaotic Evil Alignment

Chaotic Evil characters care only for themselves with a complete disregard for all law or order and for the welfare or freedom of others. They hurt and eliminate others when it is useful or for pleasure.
Given their love of chaos and disorder, Chaotic Evil characters do not respond well to authority. They will only go along with what someone else wants if they also stand to gain from it. The only way a Chaotic Evil character can be made to follow orders is by force, but even that only works for a short while. As soon as there is an opportunity for the Chaotic Evil character to regain their freedom they will take it along with some revenge.
Characters aligned with Chaotic Evil usually operate alone because they do not work well with others. They will manipulate others into doing what they want and then toss them aside as soon as they are no longer useful. They don't keep their promises, mislead others and eliminate those who that have no use for. They can be impulsive and fickle, making them all the more dangerous. They are unpredictable and freely express wild or intense emotions or urges because they see no reason to control or suppress them. To them, self-discipline is pointless. They have little use for the possibilities of tomorrow when there is some much to be had today.
That doesn’t mean that Chaotic Evil characters act on impulse all the time. If they just went around hurting everyone without any planning they would be locked up and they want to protect their freedom! Instead, they will scheme, manipulate and control others to create disorder. They can be fickle though and snap at any time, with no predictable pattern to their behavior. For example, say a patron in a tavern insults a Chaotic Evil character. On one day they may be satisfied with a witty retort, but on another day they will immediately eliminate that patron. This unpredictability makes them especially dangerous.
For a Chaotic Evil character, they perceive a society built on Law and Order as serving the weak while holding back the strong. They believe that the weak are there to be controlled and manipulated, not protected. They have no empathy or compassion for others. People are valued in the same way that they value an object. If is nice and serving a purpose you will likely take good care of it, but if it isn't then there is no reason not to discard or destroy it.
Having the ultimate freedom to whatever they want whenever they want while having power over others is the ultimate dream for a Chaotic Evil character. They may not respect or value the freedom of others, but they sure want it for themselves! A Chaotic Evil character’s lack of respect for anyone and anything means they will do things that others won’t. They will harm innocents, take down unarmed opponents, use poison – and they’ll do it all for fun, or simply because they feel like it at the time.
