Obviously guys with an edge, or the anti-hero. Which I completely approve. :)

I agree with Jo, and add that there are a few sociopathic killer types, too, because I know you love the nasty boys.

I've heard of most of those fandoms, only really familiar with about a third of them, but what's Mission Kashmir?

You like characters that have personal codes of conduct? (Kronos, Nasir, Richard and Eliot.)
You like characters that aren't afraid of a fight? (Again most of the characters I recognize I'm pretty sure fit that description.)

It's a Bollywood film with Hrithik Roshan, on the cheesy side (as most Bollywood), but a lovely film about a young jihadist whose thirst for revenge is exploited by some very nasty people plotting a terrorist attack.

That's a pretty good deduction...with the code of conduct, good or bad they do have their own that they tend to live by.

Aaah, I'm not sure if I've ever seen any Bollywood.

*Blushes.* Thanks. I remember we've talked about Kronos having one, and I think of Richard and Eliot as having them. I couldn't remember for certain if Nasir did, but I thought I remembered an episode of the "your past catches up with you" variety that did highlight how he has his own code.

Aaah, I'm not sure if I've ever seen any Bollywood.

They are cheesy films, but mostly a lot of fun, lovely dancing...and some very beautiful people...like Hrithik *points to icon*

"your past catches up with you"

I do like this trope as well, especially the more mysterious the character has been about it, like Nasir. Or even Methos!
