First of all, I really like that paladins in 5E do not need to be lawful good anymore.
I am sure there are gods ( or other powerful creatures) who are not LG but they still want somebody to fight for them. Not a typical cleric but a warrior with divine powers.
I really liked the paladin concept of PoE and I am happy I can do something similar in DnD now.
I would like to play a paladin of vengeance.
Some cultists burned your house, all your family died, only you survived with massive scars. You swear to avenge them. Some things he would say:
* All criminals must be purged by steel and fire.
* I am here to deliver punishment. If you seek mercy you should ask your god. No worry, you will meet him soon.
* You have burned my family so you must burn as well. But I am not a monster such as you. If you ask nicely, I will beheading you before burning you.
Edit: I just realized that I become an oathbreaker if I manage to forgive them.
So an oathbreaker is not automatically evil.
