We are about to start Kingmaker sometime in the future and while we are finishing our Runelords, I'm already trying to work my initial character ready.
For reasons: Draconic Bloodrager of Brass (CG) Dragons blood, I want to bring that dragons blood out in the personality of the character as well.
I'm having bit of a writers block because while I can come up with CG personalities, I can't really think reasons that would make them candidates for the premise set by the Kingmaker Player's Guide. What would CG characters motive be for taking a role of a leader?
So I'd like to hear stories of your CG Kingmakers and what made them take part on this adventure?
Ask 5 people an alignment question and you are likely to get 5 different answers. Or maybe 7.
That said, I kind of think of Robin Hood as the ultimate CG character. In the case of Kingmaker, he could be looking to help create a land where everyone is equal while at the same time helping to rid the world of the evil creatures in the Stolen Lands.

The first part of your reply is exactly why I asked.. To get some ideas and maybe brew some of it in to my character :)
And right there you gave an good example! My head is stuck with too much of a CG hippies and I'm failing to come up with goals and motivation for those hippies.
Robin Hood as sort of Kurgess vibe too which would work with what I got in my mind otherwise. Thanks for the reply!
Tvtropes is great for looking at alignment descriptions, and even better for examples of characters within each alignment. I often use them for inspiration.
A CG with the bastard trait is also something could work as PC, someone avoiding the nobility lawful and evil machinations but also partially tied to them.
You absolutely can make your new nation Chaotic Good aligned. Promote small government, personal freedoms, equality, et cetera. Ensure your new nation exists to protect the people but not interfere with them, and so on.
