Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

Anti-hero should mean you've done some bad things in the past, but you are a decent person at heart and do the right thing in the end. Characters we're told to root for who are just straight up terrible people who only occasionally do the right thing and only when it is good for them are not anti-heroes.

I'll save it for when the secret is posted, but HARD disagree.

OP

To me there has to be some heroic element to have an anti-hero. Someone who doesn't start out as a hero but turns into one. The kind of character I'm talking about is entirely selfish and never a hero even if what they do helps the greater good as well.

AYRT

Still HARD disagree.

DA

I think doing good things for bad reasons is better than doing bad things for good reasons (or even doing nothing for good reasons). The effects of your actions upon others will always matter more than your personal motivations about it. It's entirely possible to be a hero or a villain without your intentions matching that, and an anti-hero is often a character on that line.

That's actually a fairly late definition of an anti-hero (literary theory-wise).

Used to be, 'anti-hero' meant that the main character of a story is just... some neb, with no larger than life qualities. Also used to be, most 'heroes' were in that category because they were big and flamboyant and did extravagant shit, not because they were particularly admirable.

Eh. Time moves on, and definitions change. It's not wrong to want the main character of a story to be someone you can aspire to. Just. Helpful to understand the history of a definition, too. If nothing else, it puts light on where people who disagree with you might be coming from.
