Hmm, seems like people don't want to go in depth in this field. But many people are shocked when I tell them that my Over World comic series hold over 520 designed characters, even other artists. I have a wide variety of characters that not only are realistic in personality, but are the types people can see themselves in.
Here's two examples.
I have a bounty hunter character that is actually the type of person I hate, but people really are like this guy. Ral Shinloku is a red fox working as an agent of the bounty hunter unit, the Thunder Squad, and he's so arrogant that he thinks himself better that everyone else, even despite the fact that he's not the leader of the Squad and there's four bounty hunters in the organization that can easily rip his arms off. He and Claw often fight, because as my fursona, Claw's attitude matches my own. Often the commander has to step in or their squad leaders have to.
The other example is one that rivals my religious beliefs. I'm agnostic, choosing not to believe in anything until given proof. Rallshal McCove is a blue haired skunk that's an agent in the Angelic Squad, which is the opposite of the Midnight Squad, the squad Claw is an agent in, which only work at night and often deals with shadow magic users. Rallshal is a sniper, but despite that fact he's extremely religious and wears a cross around his neck. Before he even takes a shot he prays for both the sin of injuring someone and for the person he's about to shoot. He makes sure not to kill them as not only is it against the policy of the squad to kill, but in the bounty hunter organization it is preferred to bring in marks alive.
There are some bounty hunters, though, that occasionally disregard this.

to justice, even if he has to put himself in harm's way. He has his doubts and
depressions about himself, but he still pushes himself to make life easier for
others, although his life is full of troubles, that occasionally makes him
question his worth, even at times suicidual.

--Hell of a theme to work with in that area, Claw.
-I'm fond of that character-type myself-
The thing about Dark/Anti-heroes are the fact that there are no Right or Wrong
answers based upon how they deal with certain matters in life.
Ex- 1:They make their own rules/have their own code or none at all.
2: They can decide to help out the hero or refuse and go about their own illegal
business(es).
3: They decide whether to spare or take a life.
4: They are the way they are because of a Great Tragedy -Mostly-
In short, they take it to the bad guys LIKE a Bad Guy, with almost NO restraint
on their victims.
-And they're so much FUN to play around with because they can also free-style
with their lives, physically and mentally, as well as making them VERY UNIQUE in
conversation and livelihood-
No complaints here, mann; like before, if people LOVE the character based off
how you run him and well well you executed his per/fursona, then you have a core
audience, my friend.
Anything else, guys?
