The entire cast of characters I have wrote for all have been, or still are, anti-villains or anti-heroes. None of them are the sort of persons one should admire as a true protagonist; they are typically capable of less than noble ends to their means and prefer that route if it ensures greater success. It might not be the first choice, but it is always a valid choice, and once the balance tips in its favor they wield it to their advantage.

Building from this, nearly all of them are monsters or have monstrous qualities, with some being overt and actual monstrosities while others are passing for human. Their thematics are universally steeped in feline qualities, with the most extreme being humans with a stroke of savagery to their portrait or those with human-like intelligences, others being uncannily smart beasts which edge closer to being unsettling and alien in thought and emotion.

The best of my characters? They are the result of taking a known person's psyche apart, analyzing who they are at their core, drawing on their usual demeanor, and tweaking it into extreme or unusual circumstance for a story. I find these couple of characters to be the most credible because they are based entirely on real people I have had extensive interaction with; I am able to draw upon a valid, existing resource and allow it to evolve on its own in an unrelated scenario. They're novel mirrors of an individual's most striking qualities.
