I wouldn't really say that Anti-Heroes/Anti-Villains are neutral characters that take sides with their respective alignments. That completely goes against the very meaning of "Neutral" in the first place: To not take either side. Anti-Heroes are heroes with less than just morals; While they're technically the good guys, they aren't necessarily nice and more often than not believe in "The ends justify the means." Anti-Villains are pretty much the opposite; They're technically villains, but they probably don't necessarily see themselves as evil. They probably think what they're doing is the right thing. (Though that depends on the character really.) The ends justify the means often applies to these guys too.

In short, They are not the same as neutral. Neutral is when you really don't take either side.

Anyway, we had Best Backstory once before, but that was back in the early days, so it wasn't handled very well. I'm sure we can make it work this time around.
