My thread made someone think? Â I'm not sure if that is awesome or if I should apologize. Â
But to answer the question, I think it would be more accurate to say that he aspires to be like the heroes he's heard about, to follow the examples they set, but he doesn't exactly want to become a legend himself. Â Sure, he doodles in his journal images of heroic looks (like a signature armor or outlandish disguise) and weapons, and jots down ideas for names of heroic weapons and witty battle phrases, but those are more a fantasy than anything serious. Â At the end of the day, he's just trying to live his life the way he feels is right.
