They'll take any wrong direction, it's in their blood, you know

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.

Michael Garibaldi got mentioned above; his willingness to use out of bounds methods without hesitation is legendary, as is his loyalty and strength of spirit. It doesn't help me much that Jerry Doyle is just dedseksay to me - the bad boy motif goes over so very well with someone who's on the craggy side of good looking.

The other is likely going to be considered weird (if anyone else has eve -HEARD- of him before): Sam Hell. [IMDB Film Ref HERE]
He's a womanizing smart-ass who just can't bring himself to be totally evil. Instead he gets roped into saving the world (and the girls... well, most of them), and never manages to quite lose the arrogant smirk. Cocky, headstrong, and extremely unconventional, he just seems to lure me in. A pity that Piper is so damned short; it makes it hard for those of us in the 6'+ set. :p
