Chaotic Neutral

Villains whose approximate Character Alignment is Chaotic Neutral, known as the "Free Spirit" alignment. Chaotic Neutral characters are wild, unpredictable, and often follow their own personal code without a care for others; they are often selfish and the only thing predictable about them is their unpredictable nature. However, these characters are more willing to do harm or murder than their heroic counterparts.

They differ from Chaotic Evil characters as they do not actively seek to destroy the natural order or cause misery around them as a Chaotic Evil would, even though they are unconcerned with questions of morality.

Chaotic Neutral often include a wide range of anti-villains:

• Vigilantes who violently punish criminals and use methods such as kidnappings or murders, regardless of the law or of the risk of unfairly punishing innocents. However, these characters are rather Lawful Neutral if they belong to a corrupted system, or uphold standards of such system.
• Extremely dimwitted characters who cause harm to others or destroy things without realizing the gravity of their deeds (e.g. Marty the Meme-Eater).
• Thieves who are only for themselves but can assist the heroes and/or be heroic as well (usually with the intent of being rewarded).
• On & Off assassins in an Evil Vs. Evil scenario who murder others villains, and sometimes fight alongside the heroes, if they do not assume that role.
• Protective characters or parents who are willing to do anything to protect someone they care about, even if this involves theft, burglar, murder, destruction of property, and so on.
• Completely amoral Predators who are seeking their prey.
• Mischievous characters who mostly play pranks and are not so evil or not meant to be taken too seriously, except if they commit crimes that go beyond the regular mischief such as murder or torture (e.g. Noxelia and Satoru Gojo).

Complete Monsters and Near Pure Evils NEVER fall under this alignment. The type of Complete Monster or Near Pure Evil villain that falls under the chaotic character alignment always falls under Chaotic Evil, They Can Quality as Inconsistently Heinous if a Villain who is Chaotic Neutral Meets the Wiki's Criteria.
