Actually, the main character of Snatch (Turkish) isn't anti-heroic, he's just in over his head. OF course he also doesn't like guns, so....

However, so far as Fireborn and heroics goes, you have to remember the Scions are living in a world falling apart, where social order is disintegrating, and they're the only things standing between the world and the big bad that nearly ate everything in the Mythic Age. So carrying guns and ducking cops is no less heroic for them than for characters like Sarrah Conner in Terminator, Batman, Robin Hood, any of the characters from Outlaws of the Water Margin, and so on and on.

Not, mind you, that I'd have put London first up on my list of setting cities. If I ever get around to playing the game I'm seriously thinking about upsetting the applecart and putting it in Varanasi or Delhi. (In the later case using William Dalrymple's excellent "City of Djinns" as a primary setting work.)
