The League of Anti-Heroes
Do you have more sympathy for Batman than Superman? Do you prefer Marvel characters over DC? Have you played through Kingdom Hearts and wanted to strangle Sora, but found Riku's position understandable? Did you think the moment where Indiana Jones drew a gun and shot the swordsman was one of the coolest things ever to hit film? Is Firefly cooler by far than Star Trek? Do you understand why Han shot first and agree completely? Do you want to be either Commander Vimes, Granny Weatherwax, Han Solo or Kerr Avon when you grow up?
If your answer to any of these is "yes", you may well be looking for the League of Anti-Heroes.
We in the League maintain the heroic attitude, but lack some of the more characteristic heroic attributes. For example, many of us lack the truly Heroic Sense of Sacrifice, the Heroic Optimism, the Heroic Suicidal Tendencies, the Heroic Lack of Planning, and the Heroic Frontal Lobotomy. However, we figure we make up for these things with our intelligence, common sense, planning skills, snark, and ability to survive. Of course, we will be right in there when the crap hits the fan, but mainly so we can say "told you so" to those heroes who thought "let's just rush them" was the epitome of good planning. Then once we've pulled their arses out of the fire, we get on with Saving The Day (TM).
NB: The members of the League of Anti-Heroes maintain a certain degree of pride in our intelligence and common sense, these being two traits which set us apart from the general run of heroic types. As a result, we maintain a "safe space" philosophy in SG chat. Discriminatory language (be it sexist, racist, sizeist, homophobic, ableist or any other sort) is not welcome. Neither is rude behaviour. Let's face it, any Troll in the Hollows can make rude or discriminatory remarks, and we're better than that.

(No website as yet, no base either, but trust us, we're working on it...)
