So it's an entirely personal term?

@Fractured

Most terms are. Unless God defines a hero, a term like that is relative, just like most names for people.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Then what makes a hero?

@Fractured

Uh, I think still the "giving up stuff for somebody who needs it", from the perspective of the somebody who needs it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

In some cultures, but if that disqualifies you, then are you narrowing heroes to those pure of heart?

@Fractured

You know, that's a good question. All heroes have flaws, and I think that's why it's hard for anybody to consider himself a hero.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I’m not aware of any. Unless they could somehow be detained, which I know they can’t.

@Heroic

Lame. Are they basically villains?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

What about someone who saves a life to make themselves look good?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

What are you going to do about it?

@Fractured

Uh, well if you know they did that then you know they're probably not a hero. To be fair, a lot of the ancient heroes had glory as a primary motivation.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Only two would guarantee my problems go away. Most of the rest of us don’t get along but it’s not like they’re impeding me in any way anymore.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

No, that I guarantee.

@Heroic

Huh. Is there any way to make your problems go away short of killing them?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I agree. Which is why I think it's hard to sell someone as a "true hero."

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Are they going to stop trying?

@Fractured

I wouldn't necessarily do that either. But I think there's room to say "that's probably a hero to a lot of people".

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

One does, sure. The biggest scummy scum doesn’t really do anything at all.

@Heroic

Oh, sorry, I misinterpreted "not particularly". You meant that it was only two you were really wishing?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Not particularly. Only one or two are necessary, and they’re the scummiest of scum.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Would be true if I literally never experienced anything other people got their rushes from.

@Heroic

I mean, they did do you pretty badly, and that's terrible. But aren't they saving people, too?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

And thus, the circle is compelted.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Because you haven't been conditioned to.

@Fractured

Well, I don't know. I still think it's very based on points of view.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

You've been calling everyone here a hero.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Why not?

@Fractured

I mean, because they are.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Not really.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I call it an it at this point. Not even from here so who knows if we can apply our rules. Part of me hopes it sticks around long enough to wipe the Cerberus off the map at least. Solve some problems for me.

@Heroic

*Cocks my head* That's a lot of dead people part of you is wishing for.
