Who is The Hero?

Music for the Article

The Leader. The Captain. The protagonist. This shining star that holds the whole mess together. This guy is a hero, pure and simple. He's almost always right, is a friend to all his bandmates, and morally superior. He has a well-rounded skill set. He's not as strong as The Big Guy, or as smart as The Smart Guy, or as sensitive and socially adept as The Load, but he's close. He can personally accomplish a variety of goals, but his real superpower is getting the whole diverse set of personalities under his command to focus and pull together. He'll always know who to ask for help, and when — and usually how.



Other powers and skills common to the hero include:

• Most of the time, he'll use a sword or sword-like weapon as his weapon of choice, even in science-fiction settings where that wouldn't make sense.

• In the final battle, he will ALWAYS win.

• Even if he loses a fight prior to the final battle, he will win the rematch.

• He will wear either Red or Blue (sometimes both), and if he's got a theme or powers expect them to be fire based. Lightning and light/holy are also common Nature Based Powers for the hero.



Usually, this role will not be filled by a woman unless all the other roles are already women (as is often the case in japanese cartoons). If so, there might not be a Load in the group (although there might be the Non-Action Guy), and the prize for "most feminine" will go to The Hero or The Smart Guy.



The Hero DOES NOT have to be The Leader, or the most intelligent. This is usually justified by him being the youngest, most inexperienced, and/or newest member of the team. Thus, his more senior teammates may quite reasonably see him as the Tag Along Kid or the New Guy, even if he's clearly the central protagonist to the audience. He may even be something of The Load if he's a kid. Don't worry - in time, he will reveal his great potential, eventually swaying friend and foe alike to his cause. Even if he needs significant growing up to reach that point.
