\\\"He flaunts and outright ignores the rules when they don\\\'t suit him. He\\\'s wanted by police for his brand of vigilantism. He\\\'s unquestionably moral but the individual freedom to carry out his crusade seems far more important to him than mere laws. Okay, that\\\'s Chaotic Good.\\\"

Umm ...not necessary? A Lawful character (by D&D/Pathfinder\\\'s 9-alinement system. The 3- and 5-alignment systems function a bit differently.) is one that follows a strict code of conduct. This may be the laws of society or it may be their own. If it is the latter vigilantism and breaking of society\\\'s rules is a given when the law of the character is in conflict with those of said society. A Chaotic Good character, in contrast, is one that believes that such rigid rules are incompatible with true good or that simply have no such rules. A complete pragmatic. He will break the law, not because they are incompatible with his own rules, but because they do not agree with what the character feels is the right ting in this specific situation or just to show the flaws of having such laws. Batman may be like this sometimes, but the description doesn\\\'t show it. (And a Neutral Good character is one that may have rules, but are not completely dominated by them, or that actively tries to balance between rigid rules and pragmatic approaches.)
