Then what's the point of identifying as a hero if it's in the eye of the beholder to begin with? That's just arrogance.

@Fractured

I don't think most heroes would call themselves heroes.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

What about a wealthy person who gives up, to them, an insignificant amount to give a poor family enough food to live?

@Fractured

The family might look at that person and see them as a hero. The rich guy might not see it that way. People might praise the fact that the person noticed the family, but they probably wouldn't call the action heroic.

So if it's not a risk to their own life, they can't be a hero?

@Fractured

Not necessarily. It's not a minimum requirement, but I'd look at a person like that and say "Hey, that's a hero."

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I think it's too broad to paint everyone who helps someone else as a hero.

@Fractured

Someone who risks their life to save other lives. I didn't mean just any helping.

He’s become a target for lots of parties in Existence. The ones that can afford to target him anyway.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Normal people do.

@Heroic

I guess that makes sense. Especially if he's going after all of Existence, like he says. Or she.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I don't know if anything does. But if I had to choose, I'd probably say someone who professionally helps other people.

@Fractured

I feel like you wouldn't make much money off of that. I mean, what about all the heroes in the stories who just do what needs to be done when they do it? *Pauses* I guess it's a question of who defines a hero, not what.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Probably. But I don't think that it justifies the title.

@Fractured

What do you think does justify the title?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

You can justify most anybody being a hero then.

@Fractured

*Shrugs* You never know who'll be a hero and who won't be, until it happens. Don't you think they'd do it again?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I mean, dad's not a hero. Neither is Aunt Techi. I can't speak for everyone though.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

For a lot of people it is.

@Fractured

Techi and Data have both put their lives on the line for us here and for Existence. I think that makes them heroes.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

When you’re a magnet for trouble, it does tend to detract from everyone else’s problems.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

That’s not that thrilling.

@Heroic

Heh, I guess you could say that. I think Nemid locked onto us more as an accident, though.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Isn't Misty one of you all?

@Fractured

I said "mostly" heroes.
