The willingness to fight the inevitable despite knowing precisely what they're dealing with, which stems from the belief that the fight itself is worth it.

And now you know both how I know there are heroes, and how I know I'm not one of them.

a willingness to do what is right despite personal costs.

i am reminded of a supers game i was in once.
a player had his superhuman spending all his down time doing things like volunteering at old folks homes, helping at soup kitchens, handing out blankets to the homeless, he also used his water control powers to set up a free public shower for people who didn't have water.
the rest of us kinda didnt think much of him because he didnt spend time developing his powers like the rest of us. he didnt do anything to make himself stronger. then one day one of us killed a street punk because he "looked threatening" what really happened was the kid didnt listen to the hero who demanded he stop, he claimed to be police (he wasn't everyone, knew he wasn't). the whole city saw. he turned around and demanded that guy turn himself into the police for his actions. that guy laughed in frot of the news cameras and flat out said he was above the law. then kicked the ever loving christ out of the guy who never worked on his powers. it was totally one sided and none of us lifted a finger to help. then it was like the entire city was out in the streets. it was like every last person in the city was after us. we couldnt fight our way through all of them. one guy who could fly got away but became one of the most wanted men on earth after.

The word hero comes from the Greek ἥρως (hērōs), "hero, warrior", particularly one such as Heracles with divine ancestry or later given divine honors.[3] (literally "protector" or "defender"[4]) Before the decipherment of Linear B the original form of the word was assumed to be *ἥρωϝ-, hērōw-; R. S. P. Beekes has proposed a Pre-Greek origin.[5]

The courage to put yourself in harms way to help others you don't even know. Fighting so others can know peace, running towards a disaster instead of away from it.

In the classical sense it was someone who was larger than life, who silly rules like "time" and "law" did not apply to. It's why despite being born at all different times, all the Greek heroes somehow coexisted. It's also why their stories are all about them struggling to overcome the unbreakable laws of the world: those of the gods or of the universe itself, such as death.

My gut instinct was to say no, but really the point is arguable. It could be said that she was a hero because her motives were pure, but her actions clearly weren't. So it all boils down to actions and intentions. Which matters more for heroics?

I mean, she inarguably saves the whole of her universe. Granted she did it in a way that pretty much everyone (at least in-setting) finds ethically and morally vile.

So... she did do a good thing, even if it was via awful means.

Is Catherine Foundling a hero? I mean, she's definitely not a capital-H Hero, she's literally the opposite of that, but is she heroic? She has a heroic goal in mind, though she hasn't executed on it yet, not really, and it really seems like she keeps drifting further from it with each passing week.

But at the same time she does good things as perceived by those around her, even if those around her aren't necessarily good people in and of themselves.

>>50089166
-Personally-, I would think that it's someone right at the other side of the balance: Mislead, weak and a coward.

I consider that there's an inherent nobleness to the idea of a hero since it's someone that seeks self improvement or was born with those characteristics from the beginning, but that doesn't mean that a hero can't come from a humble origin. If someone doesn't seek to improve himself, the person is vain and won't really transcend beyond history, but you can also consider that the person didn't even have the need to -become- a hero: If the person hears the call of the hero and doesn't answer it, then the person isn't a hero at all.

We should also remember that courage isn't being fearless: Courage means to be scared shitless, and still fighting forward.
Power isn't about fighting against forces: Power comes from working with those forces as if they were your own.
Wisdom isn't about indulging about your own ideas: Wisdom means to understand different voices and discern the truth behind them.

Now, let me ask you another question.

If something can be crushed by the weight of a feather, could it ever bear a stone atop it? It may sound like a silly question, but I'd very much like to know.
>>
>>50089508
Most likely yes, but it depends on the placement and structure of the thing in question.

For example, if you have a solid iron pillar it will stand so much weight until it bends. But if you use that same mass of iron to build a hollowed out iron pillar, it will stand much more weight before it bends.
While it's true that not everyone is made the same, I want to believe that everyone can make a change if they try hard enough.

Not really...but she isn't a villain either. She did what was necessary, but that doesn't make her a hero. If she is one, so is cauldron. Their reasoning is quite similar.

>>
>>50088278
or a villain that's pretending to be a hero pretending to be a villain?
>>
So, here's a question, /tg/; at what scale do you start being hero?

I don't really consider myself a hero, for example, but I know some people do. I'm an EMT, saving lives is my job; I get paid to do it. Would I do it without the paycheck? Hell yes; I love my job, I love my work. There is nothing as viscerally *joyful* as getting a return of spontaneous circulation in a heart attack victim, or stemming bloodflow from a gunshot wound and getting the poor bastard breathing again under his own power. Saving lives is the single biggest thrill and best high I have ever had in my life, and it makes all the shit I see in this job worth it.

But still, at the end of the day I'm smalltime; I'm an EMT, I work 24 hours every 72; sure, if someone starts choking on something near me or I see someone collapse in my off-time I go and help, but who wouldn't, right? But I'm still mostly doing it while being paid to do it. Am I a hero? I don't think I am; I'm small scale. A hero'd cure cancer or go above and beyond the call of duty or some shit like that; I'm just a guy with medical training who wants to help people.
>>
>>50098754
Heroism is simply excessive selflessness, Villany is excessive self interest, people consider you a hero because your work entails something that is selfless, the fact that you are happy that a fellow human being still walks among us mean that you act selflessly and that you would do your job with no incentive proves that.
>>
>>50098754
nah, you are a hero, just a small one
what you are thinking of are epic level heroes, people so powerful in their field that they go down in history.

But for every epic level hero there are hundreds of thousands of smaller heroes.

You are a real hero Anon and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

IMO it's 100% about the state of mind, a person that lives in poverty but still gives away their food to feed the even less fortunate is a bigger hero (hypothetically speaking) than someone with actual superpowers that fights crime because the paycheck is good.

>>50077512
A hero is a person who does what everyone wants to do, but no feels that they can. Some are afraid of failure, some are afraid of sacrifice, some are afraid of their own abilities, and others are afraid of success.

The hero may still be afraid of all of those things, but the difference between a hero and rest is that the hero doesn't let that stop them.
>>
>>50077512
The desire and drive to fulfill the (physical, emotional, social) needs of some while taking as little as possible away from others. Empathy and the respect of free will is mandatory: sacrificing the unwilling to a greater cause makes you an anti-hero at best and a villain at worst.

More that heroes don't die, even when they are killed

>>50109862
I always imagined and interpreted that as they did physically die, but as long as they are in the hearts and minds of others. They still exist of a sorts. It's when the ripple in the water finally ceases, does the hero die
>>
>>50109862
Thinking about the 3rd from the bottom pic, that idiot might be unintentionally on to something. If you die before someone kills you, you can't be killed cause you're already dead for other reasons. Sounds like a great way to avoid an execution if you just do it yourself.

Personally I consider the most interesting villains to be as virtuous as the heroes, but mislead or lacking something important. You could still take the triangle and design the villain around only two of those virtues and having an important lack in the third one. Saying that, you can see that most villains in fiction are both powerful and courageous, such as being courageous enough to overthrow a king, and powerful enough to be successful, but their tremendous lack of wisdom makes them a villain.

He's the man who fights against the villain.

All of life's a play, all of history a story.
We are all each other's audience and actors, characters and authors.
Heroes rely on a villain to be defined, and villains need a hero.

I wish /wdg/ - Weaver Dice General wouldn't have died because barely anyone managed to ever find available games.

If it's ever going to be revived it should have more of a focus on getting people together for sessions.
>>
>>50116588
So you're saying that it all depends on perspective, and everyone is a hero from their own point of view?
>>
>>50116633
More importantly, it depends on everyone else's point of view. It's the audience who ultimately decides if a play is good or bad, afterall.
>>
>>50116675
But when you're living in the limelight - the universal dream - those who wish to seem must put aside their alienation, and get on with the fascination, the real relation-

The underlying theme.

Weaver Dice is a system in development made by the author of Worm. (you can find the WIP if you google it)
The system is far from finished bu the character creation, which is probably its most interesting part anyway (you don't get to pick your powers, they are brainstormed by the group) is basically finished so there was a general for it for a couple of weeks. Sadly it died because it's hard to find people running games with it.

>>50116675
If you say it like this, this probably is my favourite answer in this thread.

What is good and bad anyway, if not defined by the current cultures of our time?
The foibles of politics and the march of time can turn friends into enemies just as easily as the wind changes.
Ridiculous, isn't it? Yesterday's ally becomes today's opposition.
>>
>>50077512
It's been said several times prior, but it's the willingness to risk your own well being to make the life better for everyone else.
>>
>>50116837
That is the actual reason. I just posted it for giggles.
>>
A hero is not made by capability. The strongest person is not a hero without the heart to know what's right. Only the willingness to sacrifice oneself for the greatest good they believe makes you a hero. A hero is never made by the sword he swings, more the arms that swing it, but by his inner good. Simply put, doing the most good that you can makes you a hero. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less.

Children tend to enjoy moral centric protagonists. It appeals to the moral policeman freshly instilled in their young brain. Older audiences tend to enjoy characters who are reflective of real people, characters who are morally ambiguous or at the very least are logically fleshed out.

Adults who cling to black and white heroes are essentially overgrown children. It is likely they own every silly piece of plastic Nintendo has spawned and think the NX is an innovation.

A hero is someone who does his best to protect those who cannot protect themselves and have done no harm to others, without doing anything that those same people would not be willing to live knowing had been done on their behalf.
