Set them up like Safeguards, in that they don't involve running around blowing things up and are focused on side missions. Instead of protecting anyone, they run around the Isles/Paragon finding captives to get jobs. Include the ambushes from Mayhems, as the local authorities try to take them out or rivals try to muscle in on their work. Time bonuses take cues from both Safeguards and Mayhems - rescuing captives and fighting off ambushes.|

The overall feel has the hectic nature of Safeguards - dashing around the map to complete jobs and stop rival groups from doing the same - but it avoids being too heroic.
We'll always have Paragon.
I think the devs should add new versions of existing Safeguards and Mayhems that can be earned and run by Rogues and Vigilantes.
Create Outdoor maps for each of the RI zones.
Set up a Mayhem like Preemptive Strike mission for Vigilantes, where they go in cause some chaos, and stop a few key villainous plots aimed at Paragon (Arachnos plots, Family Drug factories, Council and Freakshow conversion labs, etc).

Have these missions awarded in the normal fashion. HOWEVER, completing them (and regular Mayhems and Safeguards) should award appropriate Fame and Alignment points, possibly even count as a Morality mission.
This would allow Heroes and Villains to tag along and get new badges, but not without (minor) consequences. It would also add a new wrinkle to side switching, and give everyone justifiable chances to smash the bejeesus out of things (or protect them from smashing).
