RE: Does your Character aspire to be a Hero? - Aaron - 07-15-2015
Aaron used to as a kid. Now he just doesn't care. If a chance to be praised as a hero pops up will he take it? Sure. But if someone else steals the spotlight would he care? Not really.
Hes more a unsung hero if anything.
RE: Does your Character aspire to be a Hero? - Reiner Dorn - 07-15-2015
Reiner aspires to be a King, and a liberator for his people. To be a rallying symbol to the Mhigan populace. So in a sense, I'd say he does aspire to become a hero.
RE: Does your Character aspire to be a Hero? - V'aleera - 07-15-2015
Due to the circumstances of V'aleera's racial/class situation, she's always been possessed of a craving to be accepted and appreciated by her society. This, combined with a culturally ingrained morality and sense of duty, drives her to follow the path set by many of Ishgard's past heroes.
RE: Does your Character aspire to be a Hero? - Asmodean - 07-15-2015
Asmodean when he was young wanted to walk the path of a Paladin, thinking it might be the best way to walk the path his mother once did. While not a paladin herself, she more or less was the very idea that free paladin's are meant to be.
Now Asmodean barely worries what others think of him. Some have called him a hero, others call him a fool and still others act like he is not even there. He tries to stay true to his own code but even he knows there are times he can't control himself. Besides heroes are made by others, so he simply tries to do what is right.

Certainly not. Edda only aspires to be what she was meant to be, and that could never be a hero.
However, she wishes to someday be freed by a hero, but in what manner... Well, I'll leave that up to your imagination.

Sorry, Franz isn't a hero. It's gonna be devastating to find out IC.

A hero is one of those meals wherein meat is placed between long lengths of wheat-based baked products, right?
Short answer, no. Long answer, you'd need a flow chart to explain the nuances of the concept as it pertains to fiction, because while a hero is all well and good the idea of a singular person bearing all responsibility makes little sense to who's adhered to concepts of social stratification all of his life. Kasrjin would just wonder how exactly a society can survive when only one person at a time seems to claim any significant amount of competence.

Ami never even knew that being a hero was possible, and even if she did have the skill, she wouldn't want that fame and attention; she would just want to help those she can without being in the spotlight.
RE: Does your Character aspire to be a Hero? - Zelmanov - 07-16-2015
Orrin definitely does, but for possibly all the wrong reasons.Â
He'd fail the "pure of heart" challenge in whatever temple of worthiness.
RE: Does your Character aspire to be a Hero? - Nako Vesh - 07-16-2015
Nako, has always wanted to be a hero. She wants to save all the princesses! In her own mind, she sort of already is, but secretly, she probably feels she's already failed. Spoiler.
RE: Does your Character aspire to be a Hero? - Cato - 07-16-2015
Not exactly. He aspires to do good but he doesn't aspire to do that for recognition, money or glory. His ultimate goal is peace between Garlemald and Eorzea - but since that's largely dependent on the outcome of the main story I'm fully prepared to have it end badly for him and kill him off should the Garlean Empire end up being presented as little more than a generic evil empire when we finally see it addressed directly.
RE: Does your Character aspire to be a Hero? - Jerciex - 07-16-2015
Nope. Maybe when Jerciex was kid but now he wants to keep low profile and serve Gridania in peace by helping locals and give directions to lost outsiders.
