Now, I myself am not quite sure if I have the definition of anti-hero right (someone who does something bad to achieve a good reward, right?) but I have a character who fits under this really well.
He's my main character (I bet you're just cringing) and he plays the role quite well. His 'crime' is against the female Protagonist (they are not a couple) of whom my male pushes away in order for her to stay happy. I know that doesn't sound so bad, but the woman is dependent on the poor guy, and the guy himself was in love with her once. A long, long time ago.
You moght know him. You might not. He is M.
But this is basically a character chat where anti-hero people come around and yeah
Oh stars, all my characters could be defined as this//
I love these kinds of characters their emotional growth reasoning can be so much fun to write
Ay! So I was thinking this would kind of be like those meetings people with really big problems go to (kinda like the Villian meeting in Wreck-It-Ralph (actually exactly like it, where the characters are proud that they are anti-heroes)) and talk about it and just find friends.
And ye
My antagonist uses bad means to achieve a worse end and he's awful I hate him so much but what can ya do…
Is it bad that I read that as "My antagonist uses bad memes"
I can see my antagonist using bad memes to take over the world
My anti-heroes could also take over the world with bad memes.
As of yet I don't have any anti-heroes because my protagonists are just kinda on the run and their only opposition is Social Services, their evil brother and an unnamed alien race and their slaves. And really, they're all trying to take over the world (except social services they're just like 'no no kids on the streets go back to your adoptive parents poor children. Basically mr poe in a series of unfortunate events at these guys still have parents). So really they're all just horrible through and through
I have an anti-hero named Richter, he uses a gun called the Taurus Judge. When I googled his name it turns out it means Judge. So I lucked out there.
I have an Anti-hero named Locux, he wants to gather all kind, innocent and pure people so that he can basically commit genocide on anyone who doesn´t fit that category, so that the eople he gathered can rule free of corruption and free of evil.
Ayyy that's cool.
But this is also a character chat ^-^
I don't mind the storyteller presenting me, but I wouldn't use the word genocide to describe my work, evil people will kill each other no matter what, I just accelerate the process so that a new pure era can begin sooner rather than later
Hey, I'm Rogue… and I guess I can be classified as an anti-hero. I am a assassin, a sort of dark wizard who kills others for money. Before you go classifying me as an antagonist, here me out. I kill others to feed my family, while simultaneously ridding the world of its evil. I do not kill innocents, only people who have committed heinous crimes against humanity (i.e corrupt politicians, other dark wizards etc.).
interesting, tell me Rogue, do you only commit assasinations, or do you make other jobs for different payment?
I can be very generous with those who share my goal
I will do most jobs for money, that is not a problem.
However… I do not believe all the evil should be abolished, for the world must have balance. There must be as much darkness as there is light.
So you don't believe that a pure good society can exist?
You believe that too much light will leave you blind, do you not?
Well, a good, pure society isn't possible. It would collapse in a matter of days. Also, hello everyone, I'm M.
Hello, M. Why would you think that?
Because a perfect society is often viewed of a world that has no crime, no hate, or no money, which is what I've heard the most. Without a brand of circulation or trade, we as a society would crash, and without negatory emotion, we would be robots. Just feeling happiness. What if those who have bad days or just a state of mind are cast away? Would that make us a purely "innocent" society? No!
A pure, good, world would need good people to sustain itself, that doesn´t eliminate emotions as emotions being negative or positive are what makes us racional beigns, trade would go back to I need this you need that, trade will not be exterminate itself, I'm not walking the path of the perfect society as that is the goal, not the way. What I want is a fresh star, see if good people can turn around life for the better
