I always worry when people actually start saying they want to be chaos...ANY deal with chaos is Faustian to say the least.

 It is a pathway to ruin and damnation for a very unspecified and dubious grasp of power which can be best described as rented and that means it has a price. It also means that it is never truely the holders and as such can be taken way just as easily as given.

 I’d rather have a command structure and serve /be served by my community than be a slave to the machinations of powers whose sole aim is to generate more power for themselves.

 Imperium might well kill people who are a threat or sacrifice elements for   greater good (with regret) but Chaos will cut off your arms and legs, leaving you to rock around on the floor till dead or flay your skin off you after then blinded you etc etc not nice at all.

 It’s not called chaos after all because its supportive of personal development, has reasonable healthcare and good benefits packages for the sick/old/weakened or jobless. If you are lucky though a horny chaos space marine will bum you sensless after using the blood of your parents are lube...blood for the blood god !

And people who want to be given power for the sake of power and not earn it or use it for the benefit of those who need it...well...there are phases and terms for that type of folk.
