I saw your message on LostGod' wall regarding anti-villains and I think I might help clarify it. There are more than one type of anti-villain and here are the basic types:


 * Type I: These characters have a code of honor that they would never cross. They tend to have an Even Evil Has Standards moment when they come across some thing they believe to be cruel.
