Action-adventure Game Characters
The action-adventure genre is a video game hybrid genre that combines core elements from both the action game and adventure game genres.

Anti-hero
An antihero (sometimes spelled as anti-hero) or antiheroine is a main character in a story who may lack conventional heroic qualities and attributes, such as idealism, courage, and morality. Although antiheroes may sometimes perform actions that most of the audience considers morally correct, their reasons for doing so may not align with the audience's morality. An antihero typically exhibits one of the "Dark Triad" personality traits, which include narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. There is a controversy over what exactly defines an antihero.

The second constitutes the blame of that failure on everyone but themselves. Thirdly, they offe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
