Let's talk about bad boys. Not villains, that's another subject. But bad boys. James Dean, Han Solo, Malcolm Reynolds, Starbuck, Spike, Jack Sparrow...you know the archtype.

Tell me why you love the one with a twinkle in his eye, a quip on his lips and a heart of gold under the callous exterior.

Tell me who your favorites are: any media, or in your own writing.

Hm... John Sheppard, Shawn Spencer, Malcolm Reynolds, Starbuck (the new one, if we can count 'bad' girls), Michael Garibaldi...

Why? Because they all have a tendancy to be *good* at heart. They're just unorthodox in how they go about being 'good'. They may buck up against a less-than-good authority. They may do for themselves while helping others. They may do things *just* for themselves when they aren't busy helping others...
