Lovable Rogue: Difference between revisions

* Nami from ''[[One Piece]]'' is this at the beginning of the series, and still has bits and pieces of this personality as the story progresses.

 

* ''[[Hellblazer]]'': John Constantine sometimes qualifies—if you're watching from a distance. If you're ''personally'' acquainted with him, you'd be more inclined to say that he is a prick, since sometimes his only goal is taking care of his own interests, and he can exploit others ruthlessly. But most of the time he's saving the world, which makes him an [[Anti-Hero]]. A [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|type IV]] at that, with a bit of a [[Jerkass Facade]].

* The snarky outcast drow rogue Downer, the protagonist of the comics ''Downer: Wandering Monster'' and ''Downer: Fool's Errand'' by Kyle Stanley Hunter (formerly published in DUNGEON Magazine). A down on his luck "proven loser" who survives by his wit, quick tongue, quick blade and quick reflexes (and mainly by running the hell away when outnumbered, unless he's sufficiently pissed off that he decides to indulge his inner [[Badass]] and take on a whole bunch of enemies by himself). Although he considers himself an "evil bastard" who puts his own survival first and claims he's "always prepared to be screwed over by his friends", Downer has demonstrated [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|amazing loyalty to friends]] and guild mates on several occasions, and he always pays back his debts. Downer's brother Aristide claims Downer is a "jerk", but then, Aristide is more of a typical drow (read: selfish and cruel) and his viewpoint is questionable. By the end of ''Fool's Errand'', Downer's status has been firmly updated to [[Anti-Hero]].
