discord vs chaos

[Sneak]

help discord

You are violent and destructive, a menace to society, and hated by the

masses. Your parents never disciplined you as a child, and you've grown up

to be an irresponsible, violent plague. You don't like laws or authority in

general, and you'd rather beat up an innocent child than give money to the

poor.

The followers of discord are shunned by most of society, and range from

petty vandals looking for a cheap thrill to cruel beasts in search of world

destruction. They generally resort to violence as a prime solution to all

problems, and tend to reject unity and balance.

help chaos

Freedom. A life devoid of rules, you live according to your own whim, and

nothing else. Life is as simple as you wish it to be, or as difficult. But

why would anyone want life to be hard? If that were the case, you would be

trundling along with the zealots. You live your life by the day, making no

plans, and heeding nothing. There are some that call you crazy. You do

what you wish, when you wish. How is that crazy?

Those who walk this way hold no delusions about their moral standing. Their

behavior is constantly changing, ever altering. A friendly ear one moment,

and a angry, bitter scowl the next. People must choose their words

carefully when speaking to them, because you never know how they are going

to react. There are not many words that can sum up the behavior of one who

follows this way, but it is often said that the only thing consistant about

them is that they are not consistant.

Im not really sure I understand discord as a religion per se.

As I see it discord is a label you can put on people from various religions. A foul warrior following battle, a vampire, a vandal, an outlaw etc. I dont see where the religion thing comes in here - only that they are all shunned by society.

Now chaos is a whole other thing. Here you have a set of ethics or values that you fight for - chaos, and as such the whole religion/belief thing stands out a lot more clear here.

My question is - wouldnt it be posible to rp a "chaos" believer in discord. Because I dont see what character you can build as a follower of discord.

[Balinor]

You can't. Hence why people who can't RP for jack get demons. Damned pieces of trash.

I think the difference between the two comes from their schools of thought.

Chaos is part of equilibrium and it seems to be a belief that life's delicate balance is based on randomly occurring events: the theory that life is unpredictable. I see this as more of a passive view.

Discord on the other hand is part of Chance. This believer sees every occurrence in life as an opportunity to disrupt the order of things and takes on a more active role in sowing the seeds of randomness.

Chaos and Discord can mesh together. Think of it like this.

Chaos followers do whatever the hell they want.

Dischord+Chaos followers do whatever the hell they want, and it happens to be hurting people

[wolfeman]

I always saw discord as the malicious version of chaos.

I always saw discord as the malicious version of chaos.

And that's exactly right.

I've had problems wrapping my mind around this one... let me see if I'm digesting this right:

a rock flies thru a window:

if it's a meteor, it's chaos; but if i threw it, it's discord

[Raargant]

-blink-

Uh?

[Magick]

Yup. That would sum it up, Myrek, I think. Or at least from one point of view.
