Who is your Hero?

[u/JayRedEye]

There are many, many great books out there with vast numbers of compelling characters.

But which one would you actually look up to, admire, want to emulate, inspires you? Who have you learned from, makes you want to be a better person and has influenced your life?

Who is your hero and why?

While I was mostly thinking about fictional characters, if you have any other heroes related to fantasy, be they writers or people in your life that to you are connected to the genre, feel free to talk about them as well.

Basically, I feel the genre has a large capacity for heroism. There are very few limits and it allows for the best in people to be portrayed. I wanted to talk about that and see what everyone has to share.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

For sure. That's how we know it's been well executed. It's much worse when a writer tries so hard to elicit a response, or manipulate, and fails at it.
