I've toyed with this trope twice and both times their personalities went in a different direction, but I would really love to have an honest-to-god antihero with a heart of gold who is (perhaps even not-so-) secretly a total sweetheart. I am kind of a sucker for said trope because my longest-running D&D character is the walking embodiment of it, and I am fond of him. (He's an evil undead mage who came back for vengeance, and he's the nicest, most cheerful person in the party. what is this I don't even)

I tried to get there with both Edgar and Lucien, but Edgar ended up having far too much humanity and a support network, and Lucien is actually less of an antihero than his heroic counterpart in some respects.


What's one of the hardest things you've found yourself having to do to a character?
