I guess I'm ok with the classifaction of myself as a Templar, even though that wasn't what I was aiming for. I was generally going after the 'Creates order and growth out of the stagnation of Chaos, and defends longevity' than 'fights for whats Good and Right constantly, always against the forces of evil'.
But it's whatever.
That's pretty interesting if you ask me.
Would Omnicide be chaotic? The decision to do so would be I'm sure. Certainly COULD be. But the effort and time required for it to happen would require a lot of order. He'd have to commit to a goal. I don't think a god of Chaos can truly commit to anything. Omnicide is more of an order thing it would appear.
But, if one cannot follow through with their goals how does one play a Chaos god? Switching from project to project until all that remains of their domain is a series of entirely unconnected bits? They couldn't be a logical flow, that'd require order. Cow > Milk > Cheese seems a little weird at first but each step requires the previous. Cow > Cracker > Airplane would be more like it but it seems highly unfulfilling to the player.
So... How DOES one play a chaos god legitimately?
I dunno since I'm not really playing a chaos god, but I'd imagine fuelling riots and protests against governments and such would be one way.
Ah, I was misunderstanding your god then. My bad. But wouldn't constantly working FOR chaos be a sort of order? If in every situation you can say "He will work against order of any sort." then that, in itself, would be order yes?
Omnicide doesn't neccessarily have to be planned, you know. But generally, Chaos would never be able to contain itself to a set order. Unless you have a combination of Chaotic Order, where Chaos is the overarching theme, but it uses the order of events to complete it's goals. I was thinking of "Randomness" as the definition of Chaos, but it could just as well be the Chaos from WH40K. But that wouldn't be exactly chaos, would it?

I agree with you for the most part, except for the classification of Aeterne as a Younger God, as he wasn't in response to civilization, but a main factor in it's development.
