* [[IntrepidReporter Piper Wright]] from ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' is a reasonable Type 3 example. When you first encounter her, she was initially kicked out of Diamond City for her so-called "slanderous behavior". Ironically, much of her wild speculations turn out to make some sense at least. The Institute is one of Piper's prime mysteries, spending literal years trying to unravel it's dark intentions. Unfortunately, she was unaware of the [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans true intentions]] of the enigmatic faction.

ChaoticGood heroes in VideoGames.
----
* The Yatagarasu in ''Franchise/AceAttorney'', a PhantomThief who steals evidence of corrupt business and sends it to the media. While most of the game is about finding the identity of the thief, the Yatagarasu itself is shown as sympathetic.
%%** This alignment is taken up by self-proclaimed 'Second Yatagarasu' Kay Faraday, which causes a great deal of conflict with her LawfulGood partner Miles Edgeworth.
* Heart Aino from ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'' wants you to know, that if something is causing any problems, she will gladly run off and deal with it. Without having to deal with any legal procedures, or [[IdiotHero a specific plan]]. She will fight her own friends, [[ApologeticAttacker apologize for it]], and continue wrecking her way straight to the source of the [[SNKBoss main problem's]] front door and break it down. With {{love|Freak}}.
* The Assassin Order from ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'', including the main characters in each game (Altaïr, Ezio, Desmond). They believe in free will and the right to individuality. However, their creed explicitly says that they must break the laws of men to fulfill their goals. As Ezio says:
--> '''Ezio''': There is no book or teacher to ''give'' you the answers, or show you the path. Choose your own way. Do not follow me, or anyone else.
** Connor is on the borderline between this and NeutralGood. He is more than willing to do what he believes is right, whether that be fight off or unite the Templars and save his people.
* Asura from ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' certainly qualifies. He is a hot-tempered and stubborn demi-god by nature and is known for charging head-on at the enemy without a second thought. A powerful combatant, Asura displays both a strong will and an absence of fear in less-than-positive situations and will fight his adversaries relentlessly until he is victorious. Due to his stubborn nature, Asura rarely accepts the aid of others and prefers to get out of messes on his own. However, despite all this Asura is a good-hearted warrior with a strong moral code and gets angered when he sees an act that goes against his morals. Emphasized at his final battle with [[spoiler:[[NeutralEvil Chakravartin]]]], when Asura repudiates the omnipotent god's offer to make the heroic warrior into the world's new god since he believes that the world doesn't need a god like him. Which is justified, considering that [[spoiler:Chakravartin destroyed trillions of innocent lives so Asura could be his successor]].
* ''VideoGame/BackyardSports'': There is no way Ronny Dobbs would follow anyone unless the person actually needs help.
* ''Franchise/BaldursGate'':
** Minsc in [[VideoGame/BaldursGateII the second game]], changed from NeutralGood in the first after the death of his charge Dynaheir makes him even more unhinged than he already was. Or possibly just because they rethought what suits him best. He's very keen on being a hero and succeeds at it but is prone to berserker rages, has a weird, child-like way of looking at things, and lacks the intelligence to understand complex moral situations.
** Sarevok, the ChaoticEvil villain of the first game, returns in the second as an ally and can be redeemed to become Chaotic Good if sensible dialogue options are chosen in your conversations with him. This causes him to [[TookALevelInKindness become a nicer person]], and to abandon his ambitions of godhood in favour of finding a new purpose in life.
** Nalia, the [[RebelliousPrincess Rebellious Noblewoman]] who is trying her very best to help people and has a profound distaste for the class system.
* Kazooie from ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' is a loyal friend to Banjo and has her heart in the right place, but mainly likes going on adventures and getting into fights, and shows little respect for authority or anyone for that matter.
* While ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'' has several characters who could be placed here, Kalas is definitely the most exemplary, although it could be argued that [[spoiler:what with his betrayal of the group, he could be seen as ChaoticNeutral or even ChaoticEvil. However, when he rejoins the group, he definitely becomes Chaotic Good]].
--> "In this world, there are things that people mustn't touch... Who cares?!"
* In ''VideoGame/BioShock2'', [[spoiler:if Subject Delta performs good actions such as saving little sisters and sparing [=NPCs=], Eleanor becomes this, willing to fight for their freedom against her mother. Otherwise, she might become ChaoticEvil]].
** As a more definite example, this is how the followers of Atlas and Lamb viewed themselves, fighting against the Rapture hierarchy. Diane [=McClintock=] (an idealist rebel under Atlas's command and Ryan's former mistress), Grace Holloway (an anti-Ryan jazz singer and key supporter of Doctor Lamb), the assassins in Hephaestus (like Kyburz and Anya Andersdotter) (who all attempted to bring an end to Ryan's by now LawfulEvil government by taking the law and the greater good of the city into their own hands) and, following her HeelFaceTurn, Tenenbaum (kidnapping Little Sisters from official control and leaving them in the sewers beneath Olympus Heights) are some character examples. Ryan's original founding of Rapture was motivated by a desire to escape what he believed to be an evil hierarchy on the surface world, and ultimately to indirectly destroy it by removing the greatest minds from the reach of the parasites. Ryan's [[{{Hypocrite}} loyalty to his]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Objectivism}} convictions]] did not last, and he slowly shifted to LawfulEvil as he jettisoned his principles in favor of power. It's more complex than that, though, as enforcing an Objectivist utopia is a contradiction in terms. When Ryan realizes this, he refuses to admit his error and drifts toward his despotic persona. It is interesting that in the case of Fountaine, the roles are reversed -- he considers himself an [[ChaoticNeutral opportunist smuggler]], while in fact, he caters to the actual needs of the Rapture citizens.
** Augustus Sinclair has shades of this, particularly of the NobleDemon variety. Although he claims to be out for himself primarily, he encourages Delta to not kill unnecessarily and does whatever he can to help him, even taking personal risks ([[spoiler:also, unlike Fontaine, he doesn't end up betraying Delta... At least [[BrainwashedAndCrazy not willingly]]]]).
* Roland in ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', being the leader of a militia group consisting of former Crimson Lance soldiers who were left on Pandora after General Knoxx's defeat in the first game fighting to drive Hyperion out of Pandora. Also the titular character of ''Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage''. Sure, he loves explosives and destruction and doesn't care too much about rules, but that doesn't stop him from being an ultimately decent person who places great emphasis on goodness. He serves as the {{foil}} to LawfulEvil forces of Handsome Jack.
* In Rockstar Games' 2006 hit ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'', Russell Northrop is this trope in one of the final cutscenes.
-->'''Russell:''' Russell! Likes to hurt people! For peace!
* ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'': Soma Cruz is characterized by his stubborn will to defy his fate of becoming the second Dracula and repeating the tragedy over the last 1000 years. A warning, though: if he loses his childhood love, he can turn into ChaoticEvil.
* Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRenegade'' is very much a Chaotic Good MilitaryMaverick. Just look at his NomDeGuerre for crying out loud--you don't get a nickname like "Havoc" by playing by the rules all the time. He's demonstrably rebellious, but only in the name of doing his utmost to protect civilians. Admittedly, his insubordination does get him thrown in the brig from time to time.
* Nathan Zachary and the Fortune Hunters of ''VideoGame/CrimsonSkies.'' [[SkyPirate They may be air pirates]], but they only steal from people that can afford the loss (in fact, many of their targets are such bastards that they more than deserve whatever trouble the Fortune Hunter's raids bring them). They are also known to help defend innocents; one mission in the PC game had Nathan Zachary and crew protecting a hospital ship from a rival pirate gang. The Fortune Hunter's founding charter forbids wanton attacks on civilian targets and Zachary is rumored to have shot down one of his own pilots when he needlessly strafed civilian targets.
* Dante from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', a [[TheGunslinger gunslinging]] WhiteHairBlackHeart demon hunter who goes out of his way to save the world from the forces of darkness, even if it means [[DieChairDie smashing up everything in sight]]. Oh, and he ''loves'' his pizza… with extra cheese.
** Nero is probably a more explicit example in the [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry4 4th game]]. He has nothing but utter disdain for the hierarchy of the pseudo-ChurchMilitant organization that he works for, and is more than willing to fight tooth and nail against it in order to save his girlfriend.
** The [[VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry rebootverse']] Dante, who [[JustifiedTrope rightfully]] has no respect for the demonic authority in control of the enslaved human society he lives in. Naturally, once he [[spoiler: regains his erased memories of his childhood, Vergil, and his parents]], he displays no hesitation in joining [[LaResistance The Order]] and fighting against the demons who have tortured him for so long.
* Raspberyl from ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3|AbsenceOfJustice}}'' is Chaotic Good. She's a rebel against the rules of the netherworld. She's still respected anyway because she has the guts to stand up to the PTA.
%%** Kyoko, Asuka, and Mr. Champloo are also this alignment.
%%** Also, in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 2|CursedMemories}}'', Adell fits into this; it's his style, after all.
* Two potential protagonists in ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'' qualify as this (interestingly both are {{Professional Killer}}s):
** Sebille is more chaotic than good, having little respect for authority, due to [[MadeASlave her backstory]] but still tries to do right most of the time, and has a soft spot for those who have also been, captured, wrongly imprisoned, or enslaved themselves, and will work to free them.
** Ifan Ben Mezd, meanwhile, is more good than chaotic, having left the authority of the Magisters after everyone he knew was killed in a deathfog attack he unknowingly perpetrated. He's now part of the infamous, and very loosely organized, lone wolves assassins, where he takes mostly contracts to kill bad people without pay and works alone. He also tries to do right by everyone, though with a bit more respect for authority than Sebille. He's possibly also the friendliest guy you can recruit for your party, his main competition for that role being NeutralGood Lohse.
* The Doomguy/Doom Slayer from ''Franchise/{{Doom}}'' is mostly famous for being a demon-gutting badass, but he murdered his own commanding officer for ordering him to fire upon civilians and shows deep contempt for [[VideoGame/Doom2016 Samuel Hayden]] because his attempts to mine Hell for energy cost the lives of many good men.
* VideoGame/{{Donkey Kong| Country}} and company definitely qualify. Especially Donkey Kong himself. He has a strong will to do good and believes strongly in ThePowerOfFriendship, but he is also rather dumb and doesn't quite get the rules of society. This gets especially evident when pitted against Mario in ''VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong'', where he decides to steal the factory's entire supply of Mini-Marios when he finds out that the store that sells them is sold out.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'': Leliana begins the game as more NeutralGood, though she can become this if you "harden" her through her personal quest and she embraces her more rebellious and free-spirited side.
* Isabela in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII''. Oh, she'll insist she's ChaoticNeutral, but she sticks by a somewhat self-serving personal code of '[[HonorAmongThieves free merchantry]]' that she will violate on conscience. She can be influenced to do the right thing and return the Qun artifact, but she only took such a dangerous job for poor rewards because she reneged on a previous deal by freeing a cargo of slaves, which she denies emphatically was done for good intent... but never quite gives any sensible reason.
** Which personality type you play your [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]] as tends to determine how far (s)he leans. A Diplomatic Hawke is in Goodness Before Freedom, who fights for freedom for everyone based on the established rules. A Snarky!Hawke is a Balance Seeker.
** Varric is a snarky rogue whose base of operations is a scoundrel-laden bar and who [[ConsummateLiar lies constantly]]. He dislikes tradition and could be politely described as indifferent to the finer points of legality. He's also the friendliest member of the party, and apart from Merrill, probably one of the most compassionate -- he pays thugs to stay away from both Merrill and Anders, brings Merrill food when she's [[ForgetsToEat too obsessed with her project to eat]], and arranges a regular card game for Fenris to keep him out of his shell. About the only ones he doesn't regularly help out are Isabela (who can look after herself), and Aveline, the captain of the guard (who he [[TheGadfly trolls]]). He's the only party member apart from Hawke to be on everyone's good side, including the three party members arranged in a triangle of mutual contemptuous disdain.
* After being the BigBad in the first ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}'' game and almost causing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt... Manah comes back in the second game as TheAtoner and the leader of a group of [[LaResistance resistance fighters]] against the excesses of the Knights of the Seal. While a rebel, her intentions are good (thus marking her adult self for this alignment), [[spoiler:but unfortunately, she does not realize that the gods still hold dominion over her, and are trying to make her re-enact the apocalypse of 18 years ago..]].
* The Pilgrims of ''VideoGame/EndlessSpace'' are defectors from the LawfulEvil United Empire, formed when a group of freedom fighters and intellectuals hijacked a UE colony ship. The Pilgrims are dedicated to the study of the [[PreCursors Endless]] and the liberation of UE-controlled systems; they even gain a bonus to system control when attacking UE planets. Part mystic, part scientist, and part rebel, the Pilgrims are one of the four "Good" factions, along with the lawful Amoeba and the neutral Automatons and Sophons.
* Some characters in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' are listed as Chaotic Good in the VisualNovel:
** Rider ([[spoiler:Medusa]]). She may look like a pure DarkActionGirl serving a SmugSnake like Shinji, but most of her heinous actions are from Shinji, not by herself. In truth, she really just wants [[spoiler:to protect her true Master, Sakura, and would much like to kill Shinji]]. She's still quite a sadist, though, as one finds out the hard way in some of the Bad Ends.
** Gilgamesh, the {{Jerkass}} [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] who wants to unleash an unspeakable evil upon the world, is actually listed as Chaotic Good. See [[CharacterAlignment the main alignment page]] for more on his reasoning.
** Not exactly Chaotic Good, but Berserker (Hercules) might count, considering his [[TearJerker total devotion to Ilya]]. Thanks to her keeping him in a perpetual state of madness, though, his true alignment is given as Chaotic Mad.
** It can also be argued that Shirou is this: he ''will'' fight to protect as many people as possible, regardless of anything other than the fact that someone needs saving. Cue people being pissed at him for wanting to save both friend and enemy alike with ruthless idealism.
*** Shirou varies somewhat according to route. He seems to start out more NeutralGood or LawfulGood since he does seem inclined towards following the rules, but in some of the routes (particularly Heaven's Feel), he seems to move more towards this alignment.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'':
** Edge from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''. You first meet him as he's attempting to storm the Tower of Bab-Il and kill Rubicante BY HIMSELF, despite his countrymen pleading for him not to do so. He's got a weak spot for pretty girls to the point where they're the only thing that can keep his temper from doing something downright suicidal, like challenging Rubicante a second time after the Fiend just effortlessly trounced him. He's also brash, loud, hotheaded, and arrogant, but his heart's in the right place and he becomes a loyal friend to the team.
** Locke from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' qualifies as Chaotic Good partially because he ''was'' part of the rebellion from the beginning and the fact that it's clear from the beginning that he's a damn good thief, [[RunningGag despite his insistence that he's a treasure hunter]]. Setzer also qualifies; he openly admits that the most important thing in life is being free from any obligations. He's also more than willing to bet his life on the flip of a coin. He IS a gambler, after all.
** Zidane from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', who is extremely good, despite being a thief.
** Tidus from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' starts out as this as well. While undeniably good, he is dismissive and even contemptuous of tradition and authority, and much of the early conflict in the story results from his ethical disagreements with Yuna, Wakka, and Lulu, who all lean more toward LawfulGood. By the end of the game he arguably evolves more into NeutralGood, as he begins to care more about ending the threat of Sin above all else.
%%** Starting with Firion from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'', the series has done the classic Chaotic Good rebel, with the LawfulEvil Empire several times. It is also fairly common for Thieves to be this.
%% ** AVALANCHE from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. This refers to Cloud's group, which is the latest incarnation of AVALANCHE. Barret's AVALANCHE had shades of being ChaoticNeutral, while the first incarnation of AVALANCHE were most definitely '''NOT''' this trope.
** Rinoa from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', as a good-hearted member of [[LaResistance the Forest Owls, a resistance group to a tyrannical government]], is this. A case can be made for several other playable characters, though not members, to fit this alignment as well.
%%** Balthier, Vaan, Penelo, and Reddas from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''.
%%** Snow from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' is of this alignment. The other main characters are more NeutralGood.
%%** In ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', both Golbez and Jecht are, more or less, Chaotic Good overall. They are also sided with Chaos, although mostly for thematic reasons. It's in stark contrast to characters like the Emperor, who is NeutralEvil.
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem:''
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'' has a rather wonky example. [[spoiler:Emperor Rudolf wishes to free Valentia from the gods Mila and Duma, who have become corrupted and driven to insanity by their own power, and usher in a new era where mankind chooses his own destiny by his own two hands. While his ultimate goal is Chaotic Good, his methodology (starting a war of aggression to make the continent strong enough to oppose the gods) straddles the line between LawfulNeutral and LawfulEvil, and he definitely paints himself as a bog-standard LawfulEvil tyrant.]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'':
*** Sain. There are three major things that distinguish him: his ChivalrousPervert nature, [[LargeHam his hamminess]], and his open disregard for authority unless the orders come from his lord/lady of liege. Double if the orders come from Lady Lyndis.
*** Hector starts as such, escaping from Ostia almost on his own to help Eliwood in spite of his brother Uther's orders. As the plot advances, though, he settles on the border between this and NeutralGood.
*** Also Fargus and his pupil Dart, which makes sense since they're both pirates ''and'' very HotBlooded.
** [[FriendlyRivalry Boyd]] from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'' is most likely this. Despite being a bit cocky, he's a genuinely [[NiceGuy nice person]] who will do whatever it takes to help people, even if it means breaking the rules in the process. Most notably shown early in ''Path of Radiance'' where he's in favor of defying the Daein army for escorting Princess Elincia to the politically-neutral Gallia, saying [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight "it's what heroes do."]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'': Edelgard is a deconstruction of this trope. Her aim is overall to get rid of the crest and nobility systems. However, her trauma and ambition lead to her flying off the rails into LawfulEvil territory and ultimately get her killed in all but her own route where she stays Chaotic Good.
* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Diluc left the Knights of Favonius because he grew to dislike their LawfulGood ways that limited their actions, and he ended up becoming Mondstadt's equivalent to Franchise/{{Batman}}.
* ''VideoGame/GhostOfTsushima'' has the titular "ghost", Jin Sakai. After the utterly disastrous opening where Khotun Khan exploits the samurai codes of honor to butcher the entire defensive force, Jin loses all faith in the rigid samurai ways and begins to adopt his own ruthless strategy to combat the Mongol invaders, causing him to butt heads with his LawfulGood mentor Lord Shimura. Despite this, he is unwaveringly a kind, polite, and humble man whose primary goal is to protect his people from said invaders.
* Sol Badguy from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''. He means well and is [[TheAtoner an atoner for mistakes of his past]]. But he prefers to do things alone and doesn't get along with the law very much, which causes conflict with his LawfulGood rival Ky Kiske. His SpiritualSuccessor from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', Ragna the Bloodedge, also counts, as he is a OneManArmy who openly despises the current evil [[TheEmpire Bureau]] and goes to lay waste to any and all of the Bureau's institutions he can get at. He has sworn to destroy their oppressive reign. At worst, however, he can be ChaoticNeutral, because none of this is done for altruistic reasons, like protecting/freeing the oppressed people, but solely for his own desire to exact revenge on the NOL and [[BigBad Hazama]] / Terumi. Consequently, he doesn't care if the many innocent {{Punch Clock Villain}}s of the NOL get caught in the crossfire and die during his onslaughts, ''because they're in his way''.
* ''VideoGame/HalfLife'': Gordon Freeman definitely qualifies. He isn't the kind of guy who would willingly submit to any government, even being a major spark in the larger rebellion against the Combine in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''. Episode 2 even assumes you did the completely optional choice of [[spoiler:blowing up Doctor Magnusson's casserole]] in the original game. Kleiner also admits that they all owe a lot to Gordon, even if he often manages to bring trouble. He qualifies as chaotic good because he is put into a situation where he's obliged to disregard any organization most of the time to simply fight back the Combine and spark an [[LaResistance uprising]] [[spoiler:to take down a gigantic Citadel and reveal the true identity of "[[BenevolentAlienInvasion our benefactors]]"; in the aliens' eyes at least, they are doing humanity a great favor by [[PlanetLooters bleeding the planet dry of its natural resources]] and transforming humanity into an army of transhuman soldiers]].
* Sky from ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire''. The man's a thief and a con artist. The first time you see him, he's feeding some pirates a load of BS about you being his partner in crime. About the only thing that seems to piss him off is slavers. ItsPersonal, you see. [[spoiler:He balks when he sees the Water Dragon, more because the goddess was ''enslaved'' by the Brothers Sun, not necessarily because he gives a rip about the Laws of Heaven.]] But even though he does like to relieve folks of their silver, he doesn't squawk if you... redistribute it.
* DestructiveSaviour Rico Rodriguez (Scorpio) in ''VideoGame/JustCause''. His storyline and black market progress depend on how much Chaos he causes. Whether he is good or ChaoticEvil depends on how you make him [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential treat the locals]].
* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'':
** Kyo Kusanagi constantly skipped school and would fight anybody, even authority figures. He also doesn't really care about following the traditions of his family in any way except for his own. The man is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold to a T, but when he shows the gold moments, they truly shine through. Quite HotBlooded (and even more so in early years), carries his responsibilities as Kusanagi heir/leader but refuses to believe destiny has a direct touch on them, tries to shoulder huge responsibilities on himself during the Tales of Ash saga despite lots of people telling them to rely on them as well.
** Also, this is [[spoiler:Ash Crimson]]'s alignment. [[spoiler:He went against everyone and everything and made himself as the most ambitious asshole ever -- to work from the inside of Those of the Past for his own desire to protect his OnlyFriend. And he saved the world as an afterthought and said he liked it... as he's being {{Ret Gone}}d.]]
* Franchise/{{Kirby}} seems to [[{{Pun}} float]] between this and ChaoticNeutral, depending on the game, though most works put him in the NeutralGood territory. Cheerful and carefree, he lives by his basic instincts, eating whenever he is hungry and sleeping as soon as he gets tired. However this childlike nature hides surprising strength and bravery that shows itself whenever his home is threatened.
* Midna, from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''. She is an enigmatic and snarky imp who has a mysterious connection to the Twilight that has enveloped Hyrule. Likewise, she offers to help Link escape from his prison and eventually becomes his guide, opposing Zant and his minions because she doesn't like how he tries to govern the Twilight Realm.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** Garrus could be considered Chaotic Good, though one could make the argument that he is not necessarily against the law, only the red tape that prevents him from doing good. [[spoiler:However, in the second game he is undoubtedly Chaotic Good,]] in the first installment, he asks the player to [[spoiler:commit a cold-blooded murder]] and states that there is nothing inherently wrong in [[spoiler:killing a mass-murderer without trial]]. Which makes him a dark incarnation of this alignment.
** Captain Bailey is also unquestionably this. His entire leadership and policing strategy can be summed up as "Do what's right, dammit!" When Shepard first talks to him about reinstating his/her identity as being "alive," Bailey says that normally you'd have to spend about a week going through customs and the Citadel bureaucracy, or he can just press a button right there and get you everything you need. Later on, he shows he's perfectly willing to help Shepard and Garrus get some vigilante justice in on a criminal C-Sec can't track down because he's inside their network, and during Thane's loyalty mission, he arrests a criminal on flimsy charges so Shepard can interrogate them and looks the other way after checking into Thane's background, saying that "Someone's going to have to deal with it, but not me." After dealing with all the other {{Obstructive Bureaucrat}}s in the game, Bailey is a breath of welcome fresh air.
** Even Shepard can show signs of this if you take the Paragon path but mix in a healthy dose of renegade actions and dialogue (or as fans have nicknamed it, Paragade.) You can still play Shepard as warm and compassionate, but with a definite irreverence for any kind of authority, probably best shown in the Renegade response to the Turian Councillor after releasing the Rachni Queen.
** Paragon Shepard slowly veers from LawfulGood into this alignment from the end of the first game onwards, where they go rogue, steal the ''Normandy'', and defy the Council's orders not to head to Ilos. Their reason seems to be, because they are a Spectre, they are ''sworn'' to protect the Galaxy, even from the bunch of morons that run it. By the second game, when the Council refuses to take the Reapers and Collector threat seriously, Shepard is forced to work with Cerberus in order to end the threat. By the third game, Shepard barely seems to consult the Council ''at all'' before making decisions of Galactic importance and part of the plot even involves going to the heads of state for each race ''directly'', cutting their Council representatives completely. Even if you don't get the Salarian leader's thumbs-up, you can still wind up with half the Salarian military pledged to your cause by their respective commanding officers having more sense about the big picture of the war.
** Kasumi Goto. While she's a thief, every instance of her has her using her skills for the greater good, from protecting the Alliance by recovering her greybox to a casino heist to benefit children.
%%** After spending most of ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'' at ChaoticNeutral, Urdnot Wrex returns to his homeworld in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' and becomes a Chaotic Good clan overlord, [[spoiler:assuming he is not killed in the original game]].
* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
** [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Zero]]. [[spoiler:"I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!"]]
** Proto Man, whom Zero is an {{Expy}} of. He'd rather die with a fatal flaw in his design than give up his own freedom, but he'd nevertheless back up VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}} and help him save the day whenever he can.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'': Solid Snake, the titular hero, and his best friend Otacon are this, frequently showing a sincere heart of gold, and he and Otacon will stop at nothing to fight for the very cause they believe in -- although Snake frequently insists he himself is ChaoticNeutral or even ChaoticEvil.
** Also, Raiden
* ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'' Michael: President Wilson probably started as LawfulGood, but once [[EvilChancellor his VP]] '''[[MemeticMutation RICHAAAAAAARD!!]]''' declares him an enemy of the state, he cranks [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President Action]] up. He evidently [[MoreDakka supports]] [[BeamSpam Second Amendment]] [[MacrossMissileMassacre rights]].
* Faith from ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge''. As a courier, she tries to bring some communications freedom to the city after the November riots. Guess how much the totalitarian government likes that.
* Kumatora in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}''. She is the brash, bold Princess of Osohe Castle who accompanies Lucas on his journey across the islands in search of the Egg of Light and, later, the Needles.
* In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', [[spoiler:Travis Touchdown]] eventually becomes this alignment late in Desperate Struggle, [[spoiler:eventually growing tired of the fighting and vowing to destroy the UAA and avenge all those who died because of them. Besides, he never was too keen on rules and regulations from the beginning]].
* Lucio from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' is a pretty textbook Chaotic Good, considering he could be like [[JustLikeRobinHood a modern-day Robin Hood]], stealing from the corrupt Vishkar Corporation that made his turf suffer, driving them back, becoming a hero to spread the good message of progress and freedom. However, some criticize his method of achieving freedom: Symmetra, a doubtful agent of Vishkar, considers him not understanding the concept of freedom and might be mistaking it for anarchy, whereas Zenyatta, a very zen TrueNeutral monk, tells him that doing good with chaotic things will beget even more chaos. In other words, Lucio represents unrestrained freedom that might get him into trouble if he doesn't learn restraint, he just got off good at this point because his opposition was pretty much a textbook corrupt corporate. But if he learns to balance between Chaotic and Good...
* ''VideoGame/PathfinderKingmaker'', being set in the ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' ruleset, has several canonically Chaotic Good characters.
** Linzi is a carefree bard who cares about freedom of expression and people generally being nice to each other because she thinks GoodFeelsGood. She's not above things like [[spoiler:[[StealingFromTheTill 'borrowing' some funds from the treasury]] to buy a cheap printing press to donate to your barony]].
** Octavia is a former slave who believes in freedom and kindness above all things. She despises coercion and slavery and is also the closest thing the game has to a pacifist, and will usually always support the options that don't cause people to die. Depending on how her personal quest goes she can end up closer to her life companion [[ChaoticEvil Regongar]] in outlook.
** Kalikke is a tiefling (a person with a devil in her family tree) who grew up in a nation where tieflings are subject to heavy discrimination. In contrast to her LawfulEvil twin Kanerah, Kalikke responded to her circumstances by creating an underground society and support network for tieflings, in order to lessen their suffering to aim for long-term changes. She believes strongly in community and fighting systemic oppression.
** Maegar Varn, the baron of Varnhold in the eastern Stolen Lands. He's a former mercenary commander who was given his barony after clearing it of goblins and bandits (much like the PlayerCharacter). When the chips are down, he turns out to be not half-bad at actually ruling even if he doesn't like it very much, and is an early supporter of peaceful relations and trade with your own barony.
* ''VideoGame/PathfinderWrathOfTheRighteous'':
** The Azata Mythic Path available to the PlayerCharacter sees them slowly transform into an azata, beings from the plane of Elysium who are literal embodiments of the Chaotic Good alignment. Azata character options tend towards acts of mercy and kindness taken on impulse, and problems are solved by singing the Song of Elysium almost to the point of becoming a RunningGag.
** One of the subplots of the first act embroils the PlayerCharacter in a clash between a group of Chaotic Good priests of Desna, the Chaotic Good fairy-goddess of freedom and travel, and the LawfulStupid Inquisitor Hulrun Shappok--a man who [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped off the slippery slope]] long ago in his battle with the demons of the Worldwound. The Desnans arguably brought it on themselves with a well-intentioned but poorly executed attempt to repair damage to the Kenabres Wardstone (which helps maintain a barrier that keeps the demons from spreading across Golarion), which the paranoid Hulrun took as an attempt at sabotage.
** Arueshalae, one of the available PlayerParty members, is a succubus who seduced and {{Mind Rape}}d a priest of Desna, and had Desna herself reach through and essentially turn her conscience back on so she could have a HeelRealization. When first encountered she's aligned ChaoticNeutral but she desperately wants to redeem herself for all the horrible things she's done, and depending on player interactions can either shift fully to Chaotic Good ([[spoiler:in which case she's able to consummate the RomanceSidequest with the Commander if the player pursued it]]) or [[spoiler:fall back into evil]].
* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
** In ''VideoGame/Persona3'', Junpei Iori fits the bill quite nicely. Coarse, HotBlooded, doesn't do his homework, inherently rebellious... but a good guy who cares deeply about his friends, and despite enjoying his role in SEES slaying Shadows, [[spoiler:he ultimately decides Shadows -- and Nyx, therein -- are better off not existing so that everyone else can live normal lives]].
** In ''VideoGame/Persona4'':
*** Kanji Tatsumi pre-recruitment starts off as a Chaotic Good with leaning towards ChaoticNeutral before settling more firmly on Chaotic Good after he joins you. He's coarse, gets into a lot of fights, and a bit of a delinquent, but he genuinely cares about his friends and has some issues opening up to people. Post-CharacterDevelopment makes him a borderline example of Chaotic Good, as while he's still the alignment, he begins leaning towards NeutralGood a bit more after calming down a bit.
*** Yukiko Amagi [[ZigZaggingTrope plays with this]]. Being a YamatoNadeshiko, she ''appears'' to be NeutralGood, but her hidden issues pre-recruitment shows a ''lot'' of discontentment with having her life decided for her in what she perceives to be a GildedCage, and wants to be able to live freely and make her own decisions in her life. Post-CharacterDevelopment makes her realize how much the Amagi Inn means to her, and she becomes a borderline example like Kanji, albeit with more leaning towards NeutralGood than Chaotic Good.
** ''VideoGame/Persona5'':
*** [[ZigZaggingTrope Played with]] regarding most of the Phantom Thieves; they're inherently breaking the law to rebel against tyranny, but many choose to do so not because they want to force reform, but because they have no other choice to protest the corrupt system. Makoto Niijima is likely LawfulGood, while characters like Ann Takamaki, Yusuke Kitagawa, Haru Okumura, and Futaba Sakura are more NeutralGood as opposed to Chaotic Good.
*** The protagonist shrugs off getting arrested and being falsely labelled a criminal in order to save a woman from being raped by a corrupt politician, and later [[spoiler:breaks the very fabric of society in order to free the hearts of the people of Tokyo]].
*** [[HotBlooded Ryuji Sakamoto]] is an energetic ex-athlete turned [[JapaneseDelinquents delinquent]] who is consistently the most aggressive against abusive authority figures, while also being supportive of his friends and even his former teammates. Post-CharacterDevelopment Ryuji learns to dial back his chaotic tendencies somewhat, but remains fiercly loyal to his friends and doing the right thing.
*** [[GentlemanThief Morgana]] is a mischievous [[FunnyAnimal cat]] thief who helps kickstart the party's escapades in stealing hearts, all while trying to [[BecomeARealBoy become a human]] by stealing treasure with them. Post-CharacterDevelopment, Morgana puts more focus on helping his friends over thievery and trying to become human.
* ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'': Morte, canonically. An inveterate troll and lech, he remains with The Nameless One out of a sense of both debt and kinship, no matter how horrible a personality he may be reborn into, if for no other reason than to limit the damage. If Nameless is played as evil, Morte will be the first to offer WhatTheHellHero protests.
* Crazy Dave of the ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' series. He's on the side of angels, but he's a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who will do anything to defeat Zomboss. Especially if you have bacon.
* ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' has Ratchet himself. He may be the greatest do-gooder around and savior of [[SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale the entire universe, more or less]], but he's still one young and reckless adventurer. [[RewardingVandalism And a vandal]], to boot. He falls into TrueNeutral briefly during the course of the first game after [[spoiler:a betrayal by his idol]] disillusions him. During this part, his only reason for not abandoning [[NeutralGood Clank]] is that they happen to be going to the same places as each other.
%%** Qwark makes his journey from ChaoticEvil to ChaoticNeutral to Chaotic Good throughout the course of the first three games.
* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'': Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura in the games and anime adaptation, but more so in the latter. {{Justified|Trope}}, as they are both HotBlooded who are quite loyal to their subordinates and defy authority to do what's right.
* In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney Redux'', this happens in the extended Chaos ending. [[spoiler:Alex explains that Jimenez's dream world ruled by strength ultimately leads to the extinction of the human race and convinces him to create a world where all humans live in harmony with demons and have the blessings of infinite possibilities. Jimenez turns against Mem Aleph to create a world of Chaos in his own way.]]
* Sanjuro Makabe of ''Videogame/ShogoMobileArmorDivision'', despite being in the military, tends to only follow orders when they happen to be what he wants to do anyway and puts protecting those he cares about above all else.
* Alessa, from ''VideoGame/{{Silent Hill|1}}''. Although you spend most of the game fighting monsters she sends after you, in the end, she has a reason for doing it: preventing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, brought about by the birth of an [[ReligionOfEvil evil cult's]] sun god. [[Film/SilentHill The movie version]] of Alessa, however, probably falls into [[ChaoticEvil a different alignment]].
%%* Quite a few members of the cast of ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia''; the Blue Rogues in general are a Chaotic Good lot. The alignment is probably best embodied by Vyse, Aika, and Gilder.
* ''Franchise/SlyCooper'' and his gang. They're thieves, but of the {{lovable|Rogue}} kind, and they generally only steal from other criminals (partly because of honor, and partly because of the challenge).
* Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog and VideoGame/{{NiGHTS|IntoDreams}} are good examples of Chaotic Good: the former a free spirit who has no regard for rules or authority and is always happy to help anyone in need out of his hatred of oppression, the latter a DefectorFromDecadence who "doesn't follow orders and hates bullies like Wizeman."
** Fittingly enough, Sonic's ImageSong ''It Doesn't Matter'' actually says, "Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight, it doesn't matter who is wrong or who is right." It also specifies that he lives by his feelings and [[{{Ubermensch}} follows his own moral code.]] In ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'', he states that he doesn't care if this makes him "the bad guy" in the eyes of the rest of the world.
%%* Juno and Nerids from ''VideoGame/{{Soul Nomad|AndTheWorldEaters}}'' are somewhere between Chaotic Good and NeutralGood.
* ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'': Roger Wilco, "AlmightyJanitor" (quotes intentional) and sometimes space hero, tends to fall here. Rules and regulations mean absolutely nothing to him, and he frankly isn't bright enough to handle responsibility on a daily basis. But when confronted with the choice to do what's right rather than ignore it? He'll pull out the IndyPloy and take the "what's right" option.
* Tassadar and Jim Raynor of ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}'', who reject UsefulNotes/TheKnightsTemplar Conclave and the LawfulEvil Arcturus Mengsk's rule respectively in order to fight the Zerg Swarm. Jim Raynor later on becomes a [[LaResistance Freedom Fighter/Mercenary leader]] fighting against the [[TheEmpire Terran Dominion]].
** As of [[VideoGame/StarcraftIIHeartOfTheSwarm Heart of the Swarm]], Kerrigan shifts in that direction as well. She's willing to show mercy and moves to curb her Swarm's most murderous tendencies and avoid civilian casualties, but she's still the law to herself, and you'd better not get in her way.
* The members of the ''Franchise/StarFox'' team are valuable heroes to the Lylat system who have repeatedly foiled the schemes of MadScientist Andross, and the HiveMind alien creatures called Aparoids. Their leader, Fox [=McCloud=], has also repeatedly turned down offers to become a part of the Cornerian army, saying that they prefer doing things their own way as mercenaries and bounty hunters.
* Mission Vao in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' is this to a tee: she's a fun-loving thief who constantly seeks adventure and can't stand the mundane nature of The Upper City Of Tarris. However, she also has a very strong moral compass and remains both friendly and fiercely loyal to the player character (and her Wookie companion) throughout their adventure.
%%* Mission's SpiritualSuccessor Vette is also of this alignment in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic''. The Smuggler and his / her crew tend to lean in this direction by default.
* In the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series, Ken and Sakura are carefree spirits when it comes to street fighting, living for the thrill of the fight and not actively out to hurt anyone.
* Viktor from the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series. He is dedicated to bringing freedom and helping the weak, but he will manipulate people to get out of paying bar tabs, set a bureaucrat's house on fire to rescue people unjustly sentenced to death, denies himself love to allow his lady to achieve her own goals and destiny, and physically assaults a clerk when told he can't see the mayor because she is in a meeting and cannot be seen without an appointment. His response? "It's the best way to deal with government workers."
* Lloyd of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' also. The only rules he respects are his stepdad's Dwarven Vows, and even then not all of them.
* Yuri Lowell, protagonist of ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'', certainly falls into this alignment. By the time the story starts, he's already got a rap sheet with TheEmpire because he tends to try to do right regardless of law. During the course of the game itself, [[spoiler:he murders two different foes that were exploiting commoners to their own ends in cold blood. He holds no illusions about these acts, as when called on the latter case he states flat out he knows "Murder is a crime."]]
%%** Judith and Rita are also of this alignment.
* Alvin of ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' starts off as [[spoiler:TrueNeutral]], but once he starts dealing with his various backstory problems he turns Chaotic Good, helping Jude's party out even if he has to [[spoiler:betray everyone else he's ever known]] to do it. In the sequel, he's still Chaotic Good, although he's struggling to shed his ChronicBackstabbingDisorder reputation, which haunts him rather a lot.
** Gaius in [[VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2 the sequel]]. As [[spoiler:king of Rieze Maxia]], he takes up a secret identity and personally tours other countries to learn their culture, get a feel for the political climate, and maybe topple four criminal empires when he has a moment to spare.
** Muzet in the sequel as well. She (repeatedly) steals fruit from villagers, but it's because she's... [[TheDitz unused to humans]]. She's also a bit preoccupied trying to [[spoiler:find her sister]] so they can protect the world.
* The Pyro from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' is weird in that it has 2 sides to it that each emphasizes one end of this trope. It wants to spread happiness and rainbows everywhere, but it's only doing it, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} quite literally]], from ''its'' point of view. From everybody else's view, it's a psychopathic AxCrazy monster.
* Marisa from ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' always tries to do good for the world, but she's also a KleptomaniacHero.
* Mercury of ''VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh''. No exits? Let's make things explode and create one! No weapons? Let's improvise the lightcycle baton into a [[ShockAndAwe nasty melee weapon]]. And while we're at it, let's openly hit on [[spoiler:your creator's son]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'': Nathan Drake, a [[LovableRogue thief]], who often gets into more trouble when trying to do right, but still does try.
* Rexxar in ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III'' is right on the edge between Chaotic Good and ChaoticNeutral. He helps the orcs fight off an invasion, in the process being declared the official champion of the Horde, but afterwards retreats into the wilds, not caring for civilisation and all of that nonsense, but promising to help the orcs if they're ever threatened again. After defeating Admiral Proudmoore, the man behind the invasion, he tells the admiral's daughter to be proud of her father and remember him as a great warrior.
** Tirion Fordring of ''Warcraft'' disregards the wishes of everyone in his society to help an orc who saved his life. In exchange, his order of Paladins strips him of his powers and plan to execute him until the Orcs save him. It's only later he notices that despite breaking the law, he can still channel the light.
** [[http://web.archive.org/web/20160404134623if_/http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i212/Kerrah_photos/CHAOTICGOOD-1.jpg Eitrigg]], the orc Fordring helped, chose to leave the Horde upon realizing its corruption and evil years earlier. He later rejoins when, and only when, they prove their HeelFaceTurn to him.
* B.J Blazckowitz from ''VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}}''. He's the main force fighting against the Nazi tyranny (in his universe, [[AlternateHistoryNaziVictory the Nazis won World War II and are still in charge of Europe as of 1980]]). His ''VideoGame/WolfensteinYoungblood'' daughters seem to be following in his footsteps as well (although Jess is probably closer to NeutralGood.)
* [[Franchise/{{Tekken}} Yoshi]][[VideoGame/SoulSeries mitsu]]. He clearly defies rules to do right for the society. That’s what happens when add samurai and Robin Hood to this character.
----
* The Yatagarasu in ''Franchise/AceAttorney'', a PhantomThief who steals evidence of corrupt business and sends it to the media. While most of the game is about finding the identity of the thief, the Yatagarasu itself is shown as sympathetic.
%%** This alignment is taken up by self-proclaimed 'Second Yatagarasu' Kay Faraday, which causes a great deal of conflict with her LawfulGood partner Miles Edgeworth.
* Heart Aino from ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'' wants you to know, that if something is causing any problems, she will gladly run off and deal with it. Without having to deal with any legal procedures, or [[IdiotHero a specific plan]]. She will fight her own friends, [[ApologeticAttacker apologize for it]], and continue wrecking her way straight to the source of the [[SNKBoss main problem's]] front door and break it down. With {{love|Freak}}.
* The Assassin Order from ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'', including the main characters in each game (Altaïr, Ezio, Desmond). They believe in free will and the right to individuality. However, their creed explicitly says that they must break the laws of men to fulfill their goals. As Ezio says:
--> '''Ezio''': There is no book or teacher to ''give'' you the answers, or show you the path. Choose your own way. Do not follow me, or anyone else.
** Connor is on the borderline between this and NeutralGood. He is more than willing to do what he believes is right, whether that be fight off or unite the Templars and save his people.
* Asura from ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' certainly qualifies. He is a hot-tempered and stubborn demi-god by nature and is known for charging head-on at the enemy without a second thought. A powerful combatant, Asura displays both a strong will and an absence of fear in less-than-positive situations and will fight his adversaries relentlessly until he is victorious. Due to his stubborn nature, Asura rarely accepts the aid of others and prefers to get out of messes on his own. However, despite all this Asura is a good-hearted warrior with a strong moral code and gets angered when he sees an act that goes against his morals. Emphasized at his final battle with [[spoiler:[[NeutralEvil Chakravartin]]]], when Asura repudiates the omnipotent god's offer to make the heroic warrior into the world's new god since he believes that the world doesn't need a god like him. Which is justified, considering that [[spoiler:Chakravartin destroyed trillions of innocent lives so Asura could be his successor]].
* ''VideoGame/BackyardSports'': There is no way Ronny Dobbs would follow anyone unless the person actually needs help.
* ''Franchise/BaldursGate'':
** Minsc in [[VideoGame/BaldursGateII the second game]], changed from NeutralGood in the first after the death of his charge Dynaheir makes him even more unhinged than he already was. Or possibly just because they rethought what suits him best. He's very keen on being a hero and succeeds at it but is prone to berserker rages, has a weird, child-like way of looking at things, and lacks the intelligence to understand complex moral situations.
** Sarevok, the ChaoticEvil villain of the first game, returns in the second as an ally and can be redeemed to become Chaotic Good if sensible dialogue options are chosen in your conversations with him. This causes him to [[TookALevelInKindness become a nicer person]], and to abandon his ambitions of godhood in favour of finding a new purpose in life.
** Nalia, the [[RebelliousPrincess Rebellious Noblewoman]] who is trying her very best to help people and has a profound distaste for the class system.
* Kazooie from ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' is a loyal friend to Banjo and has her heart in the right place, but mainly likes going on adventures and getting into fights, and shows little respect for authority or anyone for that matter.
* While ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'' has several characters who could be placed here, Kalas is definitely the most exemplary, although it could be argued that [[spoiler:what with his betrayal of the group, he could be seen as ChaoticNeutral or even ChaoticEvil. However, when he rejoins the group, he definitely becomes Chaotic Good]].
--> "In this world, there are things that people mustn't touch... Who cares?!"
* In ''VideoGame/BioShock2'', [[spoiler:if Subject Delta performs good actions such as saving little sisters and sparing [=NPCs=], Eleanor becomes this, willing to fight for their freedom against her mother. Otherwise, she might become ChaoticEvil]].
** As a more definite example, this is how the followers of Atlas and Lamb viewed themselves, fighting against the Rapture hierarchy. Diane [=McClintock=] (an idealist rebel under Atlas's command and Ryan's former mistress), Grace Holloway (an anti-Ryan jazz singer and key supporter of Doctor Lamb), the assassins in Hephaestus (like Kyburz and Anya Andersdotter) (who all attempted to bring an end to Ryan's by now LawfulEvil government by taking the law and the greater good of the city into their own hands) and, following her HeelFaceTurn, Tenenbaum (kidnapping Little Sisters from official control and leaving them in the sewers beneath Olympus Heights) are some character examples. Ryan's original founding of Rapture was motivated by a desire to escape what he believed to be an evil hierarchy on the surface world, and ultimately to indirectly destroy it by removing the greatest minds from the reach of the parasites. Ryan's [[{{Hypocrite}} loyalty to his]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Objectivism}} convictions]] did not last, and he slowly shifted to LawfulEvil as he jettisoned his principles in favor of power. It's more complex than that, though, as enforcing an Objectivist utopia is a contradiction in terms. When Ryan realizes this, he refuses to admit his error and drifts toward his despotic persona. It is interesting that in the case of Fountaine, the roles are reversed -- he considers himself an [[ChaoticNeutral opportunist smuggler]], while in fact, he caters to the actual needs of the Rapture citizens.
** Augustus Sinclair has shades of this, particularly of the NobleDemon variety. Although he claims to be out for himself primarily, he encourages Delta to not kill unnecessarily and does whatever he can to help him, even taking personal risks ([[spoiler:also, unlike Fontaine, he doesn't end up betraying Delta... At least [[BrainwashedAndCrazy not willingly]]]]).
* Roland in ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', being the leader of a militia group consisting of former Crimson Lance soldiers who were left on Pandora after General Knoxx's defeat in the first game fighting to drive Hyperion out of Pandora. Also the titular character of ''Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage''. Sure, he loves explosives and destruction and doesn't care too much about rules, but that doesn't stop him from being an ultimately decent person who places great emphasis on goodness. He serves as the {{foil}} to LawfulEvil forces of Handsome Jack.
* In Rockstar Games' 2006 hit ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'', Russell Northrop is this trope in one of the final cutscenes.
-->'''Russell:''' Russell! Likes to hurt people! For peace!
* ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'': Soma Cruz is characterized by his stubborn will to defy his fate of becoming the second Dracula and repeating the tragedy over the last 1000 years. A warning, though: if he loses his childhood love, he can turn into ChaoticEvil.
* Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRenegade'' is very much a Chaotic Good MilitaryMaverick. Just look at his NomDeGuerre for crying out loud--you don't get a nickname like "Havoc" by playing by the rules all the time. He's demonstrably rebellious, but only in the name of doing his utmost to protect civilians. Admittedly, his insubordination does get him thrown in the brig from time to time.
* Nathan Zachary and the Fortune Hunters of ''VideoGame/CrimsonSkies.'' [[SkyPirate They may be air pirates]], but they only steal from people that can afford the loss (in fact, many of their targets are such bastards that they more than deserve whatever trouble the Fortune Hunter's raids bring them). They are also known to help defend innocents; one mission in the PC game had Nathan Zachary and crew protecting a hospital ship from a rival pirate gang. The Fortune Hunter's founding charter forbids wanton attacks on civilian targets and Zachary is rumored to have shot down one of his own pilots when he needlessly strafed civilian targets.
* Dante from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', a [[TheGunslinger gunslinging]] WhiteHairBlackHeart demon hunter who goes out of his way to save the world from the forces of darkness, even if it means [[DieChairDie smashing up everything in sight]]. Oh, and he ''loves'' his pizza… with extra cheese.
** Nero is probably a more explicit example in the [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry4 4th game]]. He has nothing but utter disdain for the hierarchy of the pseudo-ChurchMilitant organization that he works for, and is more than willing to fight tooth and nail against it in order to save his girlfriend.
** The [[VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry rebootverse']] Dante, who [[JustifiedTrope rightfully]] has no respect for the demonic authority in control of the enslaved human society he lives in. Naturally, once he [[spoiler: regains his erased memories of his childhood, Vergil, and his parents]], he displays no hesitation in joining [[LaResistance The Order]] and fighting against the demons who have tortured him for so long.
* Raspberyl from ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3|AbsenceOfJustice}}'' is Chaotic Good. She's a rebel against the rules of the netherworld. She's still respected anyway because she has the guts to stand up to the PTA.
%%** Kyoko, Asuka, and Mr. Champloo are also this alignment.
%%** Also, in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 2|CursedMemories}}'', Adell fits into this; it's his style, after all.
* Two potential protagonists in ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'' qualify as this (interestingly both are {{Professional Killer}}s):
** Sebille is more chaotic than good, having little respect for authority, due to [[MadeASlave her backstory]] but still tries to do right most of the time, and has a soft spot for those who have also been, captured, wrongly imprisoned, or enslaved themselves, and will work to free them.
** Ifan Ben Mezd, meanwhile, is more good than chaotic, having left the authority of the Magisters after everyone he knew was killed in a deathfog attack he unknowingly perpetrated. He's now part of the infamous, and very loosely organized, lone wolves assassins, where he takes mostly contracts to kill bad people without pay and works alone. He also tries to do right by everyone, though with a bit more respect for authority than Sebille. He's possibly also the friendliest guy you can recruit for your party, his main competition for that role being NeutralGood Lohse.
* The Doomguy/Doom Slayer from ''Franchise/{{Doom}}'' is mostly famous for being a demon-gutting badass, but he murdered his own commanding officer for ordering him to fire upon civilians and shows deep contempt for [[VideoGame/Doom2016 Samuel Hayden]] because his attempts to mine Hell for energy cost the lives of many good men.
* VideoGame/{{Donkey Kong| Country}} and company definitely qualify. Especially Donkey Kong himself. He has a strong will to do good and believes strongly in ThePowerOfFriendship, but he is also rather dumb and doesn't quite get the rules of society. This gets especially evident when pitted against Mario in ''VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong'', where he decides to steal the factory's entire supply of Mini-Marios when he finds out that the store that sells them is sold out.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'': Leliana begins the game as more NeutralGood, though she can become this if you "harden" her through her personal quest and she embraces her more rebellious and free-spirited side.
* Isabela in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII''. Oh, she'll insist she's ChaoticNeutral, but she sticks by a somewhat self-serving personal code of '[[HonorAmongThieves free merchantry]]' that she will violate on conscience. She can be influenced to do the right thing and return the Qun artifact, but she only took such a dangerous job for poor rewards because she reneged on a previous deal by freeing a cargo of slaves, which she denies emphatically was done for good intent... but never quite gives any sensible reason.
** Which personality type you play your [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]] as tends to determine how far (s)he leans. A Diplomatic Hawke is in Goodness Before Freedom, who fights for freedom for everyone based on the established rules. A Snarky!Hawke is a Balance Seeker.
** Varric is a snarky rogue whose base of operations is a scoundrel-laden bar and who [[ConsummateLiar lies constantly]]. He dislikes tradition and could be politely described as indifferent to the finer points of legality. He's also the friendliest member of the party, and apart from Merrill, probably one of the most compassionate -- he pays thugs to stay away from both Merrill and Anders, brings Merrill food when she's [[ForgetsToEat too obsessed with her project to eat]], and arranges a regular card game for Fenris to keep him out of his shell. About the only ones he doesn't regularly help out are Isabela (who can look after herself), and Aveline, the captain of the guard (who he [[TheGadfly trolls]]). He's the only party member apart from Hawke to be on everyone's good side, including the three party members arranged in a triangle of mutual contemptuous disdain.
* After being the BigBad in the first ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}'' game and almost causing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt... Manah comes back in the second game as TheAtoner and the leader of a group of [[LaResistance resistance fighters]] against the excesses of the Knights of the Seal. While a rebel, her intentions are good (thus marking her adult self for this alignment), [[spoiler:but unfortunately, she does not realize that the gods still hold dominion over her, and are trying to make her re-enact the apocalypse of 18 years ago..]].
* The Pilgrims of ''VideoGame/EndlessSpace'' are defectors from the LawfulEvil United Empire, formed when a group of freedom fighters and intellectuals hijacked a UE colony ship. The Pilgrims are dedicated to the study of the [[PreCursors Endless]] and the liberation of UE-controlled systems; they even gain a bonus to system control when attacking UE planets. Part mystic, part scientist, and part rebel, the Pilgrims are one of the four "Good" factions, along with the lawful Amoeba and the neutral Automatons and Sophons.
* Some characters in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' are listed as Chaotic Good in the VisualNovel:
** Rider ([[spoiler:Medusa]]). She may look like a pure DarkActionGirl serving a SmugSnake like Shinji, but most of her heinous actions are from Shinji, not by herself. In truth, she really just wants [[spoiler:to protect her true Master, Sakura, and would much like to kill Shinji]]. She's still quite a sadist, though, as one finds out the hard way in some of the Bad Ends.
** Gilgamesh, the {{Jerkass}} [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] who wants to unleash an unspeakable evil upon the world, is actually listed as Chaotic Good. See [[CharacterAlignment the main alignment page]] for more on his reasoning.
** Not exactly Chaotic Good, but Berserker (Hercules) might count, considering his [[TearJerker total devotion to Ilya]]. Thanks to her keeping him in a perpetual state of madness, though, his true alignment is given as Chaotic Mad.
** It can also be argued that Shirou is this: he ''will'' fight to protect as many people as possible, regardless of anything other than the fact that someone needs saving. Cue people being pissed at him for wanting to save both friend and enemy alike with ruthless idealism.
*** Shirou varies somewhat according to route. He seems to start out more NeutralGood or LawfulGood since he does seem inclined towards following the rules, but in some of the routes (particularly Heaven's Feel), he seems to move more towards this alignment.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'':
** Edge from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''. You first meet him as he's attempting to storm the Tower of Bab-Il and kill Rubicante BY HIMSELF, despite his countrymen pleading for him not to do so. He's got a weak spot for pretty girls to the point where they're the only thing that can keep his temper from doing something downright suicidal, like challenging Rubicante a second time after the Fiend just effortlessly trounced him. He's also brash, loud, hotheaded, and arrogant, but his heart's in the right place and he becomes a loyal friend to the team.
** Locke from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' qualifies as Chaotic Good partially because he ''was'' part of the rebellion from the beginning and the fact that it's clear from the beginning that he's a damn good thief, [[RunningGag despite his insistence that he's a treasure hunter]]. Setzer also qualifies; he openly admits that the most important thing in life is being free from any obligations. He's also more than willing to bet his life on the flip of a coin. He IS a gambler, after all.
** Zidane from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', who is extremely good, despite being a thief.
** Tidus from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' starts out as this as well. While undeniably good, he is dismissive and even contemptuous of tradition and authority, and much of the early conflict in the story results from his ethical disagreements with Yuna, Wakka, and Lulu, who all lean more toward LawfulGood. By the end of the game he arguably evolves more into NeutralGood, as he begins to care more about ending the threat of Sin above all else.
%%** Starting with Firion from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'', the series has done the classic Chaotic Good rebel, with the LawfulEvil Empire several times. It is also fairly common for Thieves to be this.
%% ** AVALANCHE from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. This refers to Cloud's group, which is the latest incarnation of AVALANCHE. Barret's AVALANCHE had shades of being ChaoticNeutral, while the first incarnation of AVALANCHE were most definitely '''NOT''' this trope.
** Rinoa from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', as a good-hearted member of [[LaResistance the Forest Owls, a resistance group to a tyrannical government]], is this. A case can be made for several other playable characters, though not members, to fit this alignment as well.
%%** Balthier, Vaan, Penelo, and Reddas from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''.
%%** Snow from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' is of this alignment. The other main characters are more NeutralGood.
%%** In ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', both Golbez and Jecht are, more or less, Chaotic Good overall. They are also sided with Chaos, although mostly for thematic reasons. It's in stark contrast to characters like the Emperor, who is NeutralEvil.
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem:''
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'' has a rather wonky example. [[spoiler:Emperor Rudolf wishes to free Valentia from the gods Mila and Duma, who have become corrupted and driven to insanity by their own power, and usher in a new era where mankind chooses his own destiny by his own two hands. While his ultimate goal is Chaotic Good, his methodology (starting a war of aggression to make the continent strong enough to oppose the gods) straddles the line between LawfulNeutral and LawfulEvil, and he definitely paints himself as a bog-standard LawfulEvil tyrant.]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'':
*** Sain. There are three major things that distinguish him: his ChivalrousPervert nature, [[LargeHam his hamminess]], and his open disregard for authority unless the orders come from his lord/lady of liege. Double if the orders come from Lady Lyndis.
*** Hector starts as such, escaping from Ostia almost on his own to help Eliwood in spite of his brother Uther's orders. As the plot advances, though, he settles on the border between this and NeutralGood.
*** Also Fargus and his pupil Dart, which makes sense since they're both pirates ''and'' very HotBlooded.
** [[FriendlyRivalry Boyd]] from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'' is most likely this. Despite being a bit cocky, he's a genuinely [[NiceGuy nice person]] who will do whatever it takes to help people, even if it means breaking the rules in the process. Most notably shown early in ''Path of Radiance'' where he's in favor of defying the Daein army for escorting Princess Elincia to the politically-neutral Gallia, saying [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight "it's what heroes do."]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'': Edelgard is a deconstruction of this trope. Her aim is overall to get rid of the crest and nobility systems. However, her trauma and ambition lead to her flying off the rails into LawfulEvil territory and ultimately get her killed in all but her own route where she stays Chaotic Good.
* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Diluc left the Knights of Favonius because he grew to dislike their LawfulGood ways that limited their actions, and he ended up becoming Mondstadt's equivalent to Franchise/{{Batman}}.
* ''VideoGame/GhostOfTsushima'' has the titular "ghost", Jin Sakai. After the utterly disastrous opening where Khotun Khan exploits the samurai codes of honor to butcher the entire defensive force, Jin loses all faith in the rigid samurai ways and begins to adopt his own ruthless strategy to combat the Mongol invaders, causing him to butt heads with his LawfulGood mentor Lord Shimura. Despite this, he is unwaveringly a kind, polite, and humble man whose primary goal is to protect his people from said invaders.
* Sol Badguy from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''. He means well and is [[TheAtoner an atoner for mistakes of his past]]. But he prefers to do things alone and doesn't get along with the law very much, which causes conflict with his LawfulGood rival Ky Kiske. His SpiritualSuccessor from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', Ragna the Bloodedge, also counts, as he is a OneManArmy who openly despises the current evil [[TheEmpire Bureau]] and goes to lay waste to any and all of the Bureau's institutions he can get at. He has sworn to destroy their oppressive reign. At worst, however, he can be ChaoticNeutral, because none of this is done for altruistic reasons, like protecting/freeing the oppressed people, but solely for his own desire to exact revenge on the NOL and [[BigBad Hazama]] / Terumi. Consequently, he doesn't care if the many innocent {{Punch Clock Villain}}s of the NOL get caught in the crossfire and die during his onslaughts, ''because they're in his way''.
* ''VideoGame/HalfLife'': Gordon Freeman definitely qualifies. He isn't the kind of guy who would willingly submit to any government, even being a major spark in the larger rebellion against the Combine in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''. Episode 2 even assumes you did the completely optional choice of [[spoiler:blowing up Doctor Magnusson's casserole]] in the original game. Kleiner also admits that they all owe a lot to Gordon, even if he often manages to bring trouble. He qualifies as chaotic good because he is put into a situation where he's obliged to disregard any organization most of the time to simply fight back the Combine and spark an [[LaResistance uprising]] [[spoiler:to take down a gigantic Citadel and reveal the true identity of "[[BenevolentAlienInvasion our benefactors]]"; in the aliens' eyes at least, they are doing humanity a great favor by [[PlanetLooters bleeding the planet dry of its natural resources]] and transforming humanity into an army of transhuman soldiers]].
* Sky from ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire''. The man's a thief and a con artist. The first time you see him, he's feeding some pirates a load of BS about you being his partner in crime. About the only thing that seems to piss him off is slavers. ItsPersonal, you see. [[spoiler:He balks when he sees the Water Dragon, more because the goddess was ''enslaved'' by the Brothers Sun, not necessarily because he gives a rip about the Laws of Heaven.]] But even though he does like to relieve folks of their silver, he doesn't squawk if you... redistribute it.
* DestructiveSaviour Rico Rodriguez (Scorpio) in ''VideoGame/JustCause''. His storyline and black market progress depend on how much Chaos he causes. Whether he is good or ChaoticEvil depends on how you make him [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential treat the locals]].
* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'':
** Kyo Kusanagi constantly skipped school and would fight anybody, even authority figures. He also doesn't really care about following the traditions of his family in any way except for his own. The man is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold to a T, but when he shows the gold moments, they truly shine through. Quite HotBlooded (and even more so in early years), carries his responsibilities as Kusanagi heir/leader but refuses to believe destiny has a direct touch on them, tries to shoulder huge responsibilities on himself during the Tales of Ash saga despite lots of people telling them to rely on them as well.
** Also, this is [[spoiler:Ash Crimson]]'s alignment. [[spoiler:He went against everyone and everything and made himself as the most ambitious asshole ever -- to work from the inside of Those of the Past for his own desire to protect his OnlyFriend. And he saved the world as an afterthought and said he liked it... as he's being {{Ret Gone}}d.]]
* Franchise/{{Kirby}} seems to [[{{Pun}} float]] between this and ChaoticNeutral, depending on the game, though most works put him in the NeutralGood territory. Cheerful and carefree, he lives by his basic instincts, eating whenever he is hungry and sleeping as soon as he gets tired. However this childlike nature hides surprising strength and bravery that shows itself whenever his home is threatened.
* Midna, from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''. She is an enigmatic and snarky imp who has a mysterious connection to the Twilight that has enveloped Hyrule. Likewise, she offers to help Link escape from his prison and eventually becomes his guide, opposing Zant and his minions because she doesn't like how he tries to govern the Twilight Realm.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** Garrus could be considered Chaotic Good, though one could make the argument that he is not necessarily against the law, only the red tape that prevents him from doing good. [[spoiler:However, in the second game he is undoubtedly Chaotic Good,]] in the first installment, he asks the player to [[spoiler:commit a cold-blooded murder]] and states that there is nothing inherently wrong in [[spoiler:killing a mass-murderer without trial]]. Which makes him a dark incarnation of this alignment.
** Captain Bailey is also unquestionably this. His entire leadership and policing strategy can be summed up as "Do what's right, dammit!" When Shepard first talks to him about reinstating his/her identity as being "alive," Bailey says that normally you'd have to spend about a week going through customs and the Citadel bureaucracy, or he can just press a button right there and get you everything you need. Later on, he shows he's perfectly willing to help Shepard and Garrus get some vigilante justice in on a criminal C-Sec can't track down because he's inside their network, and during Thane's loyalty mission, he arrests a criminal on flimsy charges so Shepard can interrogate them and looks the other way after checking into Thane's background, saying that "Someone's going to have to deal with it, but not me." After dealing with all the other {{Obstructive Bureaucrat}}s in the game, Bailey is a breath of welcome fresh air.
** Even Shepard can show signs of this if you take the Paragon path but mix in a healthy dose of renegade actions and dialogue (or as fans have nicknamed it, Paragade.) You can still play Shepard as warm and compassionate, but with a definite irreverence for any kind of authority, probably best shown in the Renegade response to the Turian Councillor after releasing the Rachni Queen.
** Paragon Shepard slowly veers from LawfulGood into this alignment from the end of the first game onwards, where they go rogue, steal the ''Normandy'', and defy the Council's orders not to head to Ilos. Their reason seems to be, because they are a Spectre, they are ''sworn'' to protect the Galaxy, even from the bunch of morons that run it. By the second game, when the Council refuses to take the Reapers and Collector threat seriously, Shepard is forced to work with Cerberus in order to end the threat. By the third game, Shepard barely seems to consult the Council ''at all'' before making decisions of Galactic importance and part of the plot even involves going to the heads of state for each race ''directly'', cutting their Council representatives completely. Even if you don't get the Salarian leader's thumbs-up, you can still wind up with half the Salarian military pledged to your cause by their respective commanding officers having more sense about the big picture of the war.
** Kasumi Goto. While she's a thief, every instance of her has her using her skills for the greater good, from protecting the Alliance by recovering her greybox to a casino heist to benefit children.
%%** After spending most of ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'' at ChaoticNeutral, Urdnot Wrex returns to his homeworld in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' and becomes a Chaotic Good clan overlord, [[spoiler:assuming he is not killed in the original game]].
* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
** [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Zero]]. [[spoiler:"I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!"]]
** Proto Man, whom Zero is an {{Expy}} of. He'd rather die with a fatal flaw in his design than give up his own freedom, but he'd nevertheless back up VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}} and help him save the day whenever he can.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'': Solid Snake, the titular hero, and his best friend Otacon are this, frequently showing a sincere heart of gold, and he and Otacon will stop at nothing to fight for the very cause they believe in -- although Snake frequently insists he himself is ChaoticNeutral or even ChaoticEvil.
** Also, Raiden
* ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'' Michael: President Wilson probably started as LawfulGood, but once [[EvilChancellor his VP]] '''[[MemeticMutation RICHAAAAAAARD!!]]''' declares him an enemy of the state, he cranks [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President Action]] up. He evidently [[MoreDakka supports]] [[BeamSpam Second Amendment]] [[MacrossMissileMassacre rights]].
* Faith from ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge''. As a courier, she tries to bring some communications freedom to the city after the November riots. Guess how much the totalitarian government likes that.
* Kumatora in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}''. She is the brash, bold Princess of Osohe Castle who accompanies Lucas on his journey across the islands in search of the Egg of Light and, later, the Needles.
* In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', [[spoiler:Travis Touchdown]] eventually becomes this alignment late in Desperate Struggle, [[spoiler:eventually growing tired of the fighting and vowing to destroy the UAA and avenge all those who died because of them. Besides, he never was too keen on rules and regulations from the beginning]].
* Lucio from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' is a pretty textbook Chaotic Good, considering he could be like [[JustLikeRobinHood a modern-day Robin Hood]], stealing from the corrupt Vishkar Corporation that made his turf suffer, driving them back, becoming a hero to spread the good message of progress and freedom. However, some criticize his method of achieving freedom: Symmetra, a doubtful agent of Vishkar, considers him not understanding the concept of freedom and might be mistaking it for anarchy, whereas Zenyatta, a very zen TrueNeutral monk, tells him that doing good with chaotic things will beget even more chaos. In other words, Lucio represents unrestrained freedom that might get him into trouble if he doesn't learn restraint, he just got off good at this point because his opposition was pretty much a textbook corrupt corporate. But if he learns to balance between Chaotic and Good...
* ''VideoGame/PathfinderKingmaker'', being set in the ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' ruleset, has several canonically Chaotic Good characters.
** Linzi is a carefree bard who cares about freedom of expression and people generally being nice to each other because she thinks GoodFeelsGood. She's not above things like [[spoiler:[[StealingFromTheTill 'borrowing' some funds from the treasury]] to buy a cheap printing press to donate to your barony]].
** Octavia is a former slave who believes in freedom and kindness above all things. She despises coercion and slavery and is also the closest thing the game has to a pacifist, and will usually always support the options that don't cause people to die. Depending on how her personal quest goes she can end up closer to her life companion [[ChaoticEvil Regongar]] in outlook.
** Kalikke is a tiefling (a person with a devil in her family tree) who grew up in a nation where tieflings are subject to heavy discrimination. In contrast to her LawfulEvil twin Kanerah, Kalikke responded to her circumstances by creating an underground society and support network for tieflings, in order to lessen their suffering to aim for long-term changes. She believes strongly in community and fighting systemic oppression.
** Maegar Varn, the baron of Varnhold in the eastern Stolen Lands. He's a former mercenary commander who was given his barony after clearing it of goblins and bandits (much like the PlayerCharacter). When the chips are down, he turns out to be not half-bad at actually ruling even if he doesn't like it very much, and is an early supporter of peaceful relations and trade with your own barony.
* ''VideoGame/PathfinderWrathOfTheRighteous'':
** The Azata Mythic Path available to the PlayerCharacter sees them slowly transform into an azata, beings from the plane of Elysium who are literal embodiments of the Chaotic Good alignment. Azata character options tend towards acts of mercy and kindness taken on impulse, and problems are solved by singing the Song of Elysium almost to the point of becoming a RunningGag.
** One of the subplots of the first act embroils the PlayerCharacter in a clash between a group of Chaotic Good priests of Desna, the Chaotic Good fairy-goddess of freedom and travel, and the LawfulStupid Inquisitor Hulrun Shappok--a man who [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped off the slippery slope]] long ago in his battle with the demons of the Worldwound. The Desnans arguably brought it on themselves with a well-intentioned but poorly executed attempt to repair damage to the Kenabres Wardstone (which helps maintain a barrier that keeps the demons from spreading across Golarion), which the paranoid Hulrun took as an attempt at sabotage.
** Arueshalae, one of the available PlayerParty members, is a succubus who seduced and {{Mind Rape}}d a priest of Desna, and had Desna herself reach through and essentially turn her conscience back on so she could have a HeelRealization. When first encountered she's aligned ChaoticNeutral but she desperately wants to redeem herself for all the horrible things she's done, and depending on player interactions can either shift fully to Chaotic Good ([[spoiler:in which case she's able to consummate the RomanceSidequest with the Commander if the player pursued it]]) or [[spoiler:fall back into evil]].
* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
** In ''VideoGame/Persona3'', Junpei Iori fits the bill quite nicely. Coarse, HotBlooded, doesn't do his homework, inherently rebellious... but a good guy who cares deeply about his friends, and despite enjoying his role in SEES slaying Shadows, [[spoiler:he ultimately decides Shadows -- and Nyx, therein -- are better off not existing so that everyone else can live normal lives]].
** In ''VideoGame/Persona4'':
*** Kanji Tatsumi pre-recruitment starts off as a Chaotic Good with leaning towards ChaoticNeutral before settling more firmly on Chaotic Good after he joins you. He's coarse, gets into a lot of fights, and a bit of a delinquent, but he genuinely cares about his friends and has some issues opening up to people. Post-CharacterDevelopment makes him a borderline example of Chaotic Good, as while he's still the alignment, he begins leaning towards NeutralGood a bit more after calming down a bit.
*** Yukiko Amagi [[ZigZaggingTrope plays with this]]. Being a YamatoNadeshiko, she ''appears'' to be NeutralGood, but her hidden issues pre-recruitment shows a ''lot'' of discontentment with having her life decided for her in what she perceives to be a GildedCage, and wants to be able to live freely and make her own decisions in her life. Post-CharacterDevelopment makes her realize how much the Amagi Inn means to her, and she becomes a borderline example like Kanji, albeit with more leaning towards NeutralGood than Chaotic Good.
** ''VideoGame/Persona5'':
*** [[ZigZaggingTrope Played with]] regarding most of the Phantom Thieves; they're inherently breaking the law to rebel against tyranny, but many choose to do so not because they want to force reform, but because they have no other choice to protest the corrupt system. Makoto Niijima is likely LawfulGood, while characters like Ann Takamaki, Yusuke Kitagawa, Haru Okumura, and Futaba Sakura are more NeutralGood as opposed to Chaotic Good.
*** The protagonist shrugs off getting arrested and being falsely labelled a criminal in order to save a woman from being raped by a corrupt politician, and later [[spoiler:breaks the very fabric of society in order to free the hearts of the people of Tokyo]].
*** [[HotBlooded Ryuji Sakamoto]] is an energetic ex-athlete turned [[JapaneseDelinquents delinquent]] who is consistently the most aggressive against abusive authority figures, while also being supportive of his friends and even his former teammates. Post-CharacterDevelopment Ryuji learns to dial back his chaotic tendencies somewhat, but remains fiercly loyal to his friends and doing the right thing.
*** [[GentlemanThief Morgana]] is a mischievous [[FunnyAnimal cat]] thief who helps kickstart the party's escapades in stealing hearts, all while trying to [[BecomeARealBoy become a human]] by stealing treasure with them. Post-CharacterDevelopment, Morgana puts more focus on helping his friends over thievery and trying to become human.
* ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'': Morte, canonically. An inveterate troll and lech, he remains with The Nameless One out of a sense of both debt and kinship, no matter how horrible a personality he may be reborn into, if for no other reason than to limit the damage. If Nameless is played as evil, Morte will be the first to offer WhatTheHellHero protests.
* Crazy Dave of the ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' series. He's on the side of angels, but he's a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who will do anything to defeat Zomboss. Especially if you have bacon.
* ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' has Ratchet himself. He may be the greatest do-gooder around and savior of [[SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale the entire universe, more or less]], but he's still one young and reckless adventurer. [[RewardingVandalism And a vandal]], to boot. He falls into TrueNeutral briefly during the course of the first game after [[spoiler:a betrayal by his idol]] disillusions him. During this part, his only reason for not abandoning [[NeutralGood Clank]] is that they happen to be going to the same places as each other.
%%** Qwark makes his journey from ChaoticEvil to ChaoticNeutral to Chaotic Good throughout the course of the first three games.
* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'': Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura in the games and anime adaptation, but more so in the latter. {{Justified|Trope}}, as they are both HotBlooded who are quite loyal to their subordinates and defy authority to do what's right.
* In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney Redux'', this happens in the extended Chaos ending. [[spoiler:Alex explains that Jimenez's dream world ruled by strength ultimately leads to the extinction of the human race and convinces him to create a world where all humans live in harmony with demons and have the blessings of infinite possibilities. Jimenez turns against Mem Aleph to create a world of Chaos in his own way.]]
* Sanjuro Makabe of ''Videogame/ShogoMobileArmorDivision'', despite being in the military, tends to only follow orders when they happen to be what he wants to do anyway and puts protecting those he cares about above all else.
* Alessa, from ''VideoGame/{{Silent Hill|1}}''. Although you spend most of the game fighting monsters she sends after you, in the end, she has a reason for doing it: preventing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, brought about by the birth of an [[ReligionOfEvil evil cult's]] sun god. [[Film/SilentHill The movie version]] of Alessa, however, probably falls into [[ChaoticEvil a different alignment]].
%%* Quite a few members of the cast of ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia''; the Blue Rogues in general are a Chaotic Good lot. The alignment is probably best embodied by Vyse, Aika, and Gilder.
* ''Franchise/SlyCooper'' and his gang. They're thieves, but of the {{lovable|Rogue}} kind, and they generally only steal from other criminals (partly because of honor, and partly because of the challenge).
* Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog and VideoGame/{{NiGHTS|IntoDreams}} are good examples of Chaotic Good: the former a free spirit who has no regard for rules or authority and is always happy to help anyone in need out of his hatred of oppression, the latter a DefectorFromDecadence who "doesn't follow orders and hates bullies like Wizeman."
** Fittingly enough, Sonic's ImageSong ''It Doesn't Matter'' actually says, "Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight, it doesn't matter who is wrong or who is right." It also specifies that he lives by his feelings and [[{{Ubermensch}} follows his own moral code.]] In ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'', he states that he doesn't care if this makes him "the bad guy" in the eyes of the rest of the world.
%%* Juno and Nerids from ''VideoGame/{{Soul Nomad|AndTheWorldEaters}}'' are somewhere between Chaotic Good and NeutralGood.
* ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'': Roger Wilco, "AlmightyJanitor" (quotes intentional) and sometimes space hero, tends to fall here. Rules and regulations mean absolutely nothing to him, and he frankly isn't bright enough to handle responsibility on a daily basis. But when confronted with the choice to do what's right rather than ignore it? He'll pull out the IndyPloy and take the "what's right" option.
* Tassadar and Jim Raynor of ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}'', who reject UsefulNotes/TheKnightsTemplar Conclave and the LawfulEvil Arcturus Mengsk's rule respectively in order to fight the Zerg Swarm. Jim Raynor later on becomes a [[LaResistance Freedom Fighter/Mercenary leader]] fighting against the [[TheEmpire Terran Dominion]].
** As of [[VideoGame/StarcraftIIHeartOfTheSwarm Heart of the Swarm]], Kerrigan shifts in that direction as well. She's willing to show mercy and moves to curb her Swarm's most murderous tendencies and avoid civilian casualties, but she's still the law to herself, and you'd better not get in her way.
* The members of the ''Franchise/StarFox'' team are valuable heroes to the Lylat system who have repeatedly foiled the schemes of MadScientist Andross, and the HiveMind alien creatures called Aparoids. Their leader, Fox [=McCloud=], has also repeatedly turned down offers to become a part of the Cornerian army, saying that they prefer doing things their own way as mercenaries and bounty hunters.
* Mission Vao in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' is this to a tee: she's a fun-loving thief who constantly seeks adventure and can't stand the mundane nature of The Upper City Of Tarris. However, she also has a very strong moral compass and remains both friendly and fiercely loyal to the player character (and her Wookie companion) throughout their adventure.
%%* Mission's SpiritualSuccessor Vette is also of this alignment in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic''. The Smuggler and his / her crew tend to lean in this direction by default.
* In the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series, Ken and Sakura are carefree spirits when it comes to street fighting, living for the thrill of the fight and not actively out to hurt anyone.
* Viktor from the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series. He is dedicated to bringing freedom and helping the weak, but he will manipulate people to get out of paying bar tabs, set a bureaucrat's house on fire to rescue people unjustly sentenced to death, denies himself love to allow his lady to achieve her own goals and destiny, and physically assaults a clerk when told he can't see the mayor because she is in a meeting and cannot be seen without an appointment. His response? "It's the best way to deal with government workers."
* Lloyd of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' also. The only rules he respects are his stepdad's Dwarven Vows, and even then not all of them.
* Yuri Lowell, protagonist of ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'', certainly falls into this alignment. By the time the story starts, he's already got a rap sheet with TheEmpire because he tends to try to do right regardless of law. During the course of the game itself, [[spoiler:he murders two different foes that were exploiting commoners to their own ends in cold blood. He holds no illusions about these acts, as when called on the latter case he states flat out he knows "Murder is a crime."]]
%%** Judith and Rita are also of this alignment.
* Alvin of ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' starts off as [[spoiler:TrueNeutral]], but once he starts dealing with his various backstory problems he turns Chaotic Good, helping Jude's party out even if he has to [[spoiler:betray everyone else he's ever known]] to do it. In the sequel, he's still Chaotic Good, although he's struggling to shed his ChronicBackstabbingDisorder reputation, which haunts him rather a lot.
** Gaius in [[VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2 the sequel]]. As [[spoiler:king of Rieze Maxia]], he takes up a secret identity and personally tours other countries to learn their culture, get a feel for the political climate, and maybe topple four criminal empires when he has a moment to spare.
** Muzet in the sequel as well. She (repeatedly) steals fruit from villagers, but it's because she's... [[TheDitz unused to humans]]. She's also a bit preoccupied trying to [[spoiler:find her sister]] so they can protect the world.
* The Pyro from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' is weird in that it has 2 sides to it that each emphasizes one end of this trope. It wants to spread happiness and rainbows everywhere, but it's only doing it, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} quite literally]], from ''its'' point of view. From everybody else's view, it's a psychopathic AxCrazy monster.
* Marisa from ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' always tries to do good for the world, but she's also a KleptomaniacHero.
* Mercury of ''VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh''. No exits? Let's make things explode and create one! No weapons? Let's improvise the lightcycle baton into a [[ShockAndAwe nasty melee weapon]]. And while we're at it, let's openly hit on [[spoiler:your creator's son]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'': Nathan Drake, a [[LovableRogue thief]], who often gets into more trouble when trying to do right, but still does try.
* Rexxar in ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III'' is right on the edge between Chaotic Good and ChaoticNeutral. He helps the orcs fight off an invasion, in the process being declared the official champion of the Horde, but afterwards retreats into the wilds, not caring for civilisation and all of that nonsense, but promising to help the orcs if they're ever threatened again. After defeating Admiral Proudmoore, the man behind the invasion, he tells the admiral's daughter to be proud of her father and remember him as a great warrior.
** Tirion Fordring of ''Warcraft'' disregards the wishes of everyone in his society to help an orc who saved his life. In exchange, his order of Paladins strips him of his powers and plan to execute him until the Orcs save him. It's only later he notices that despite breaking the law, he can still channel the light.
** [[http://web.archive.org/web/20160404134623if_/http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i212/Kerrah_photos/CHAOTICGOOD-1.jpg Eitrigg]], the orc Fordring helped, chose to leave the Horde upon realizing its corruption and evil years earlier. He later rejoins when, and only when, they prove their HeelFaceTurn to him.
* B.J Blazckowitz from ''VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}}''. He's the main force fighting against the Nazi tyranny (in his universe, [[AlternateHistoryNaziVictory the Nazis won World War II and are still in charge of Europe as of 1980]]). His ''VideoGame/WolfensteinYoungblood'' daughters seem to be following in his footsteps as well (although Jess is probably closer to NeutralGood.)
* [[Franchise/{{Tekken}} Yoshi]][[VideoGame/SoulSeries mitsu]]. He clearly defies rules to do right for the society. That’s what happens when add samurai and Robin Hood to this character.
