It is wanted by most to be the hero, but there are things attached to that. To be the hero or FC heroes you have to aim at canon, and that's wrong, its a gate to Mary Sue.
So here is how you get to be hero without pissing off everyone, and its something my FC excels at, the "Unsung Hero Arch-Type" Our RP in the Red Wings ranges from soilder's marching to world wide plots. The way we can do that without becoming all powerful snowflakes is we are the heroes of our stories, but our stories are never told.
Example: Using your bomb idea, this is how the RWs would do it.
Bombs planted in the major cities..... must stop the terrorist. We move like shadows, fighting the enemies in the back allys, the docks, in the woods. As time runs out we find the bombs, defuse them, remove them.... the general population doesn't even know we where there.
We had our epic fun/mary sue-isk fun without pissing on canon. And I think most would agree with me that if you have the "Hero of the Day" itch, that is the better way to handle it. Save the world, just take that FC and make like the Men in Black....
But I feel that this is your FC's actions than what other FCs would handle it. In the end, everyone wants to be their own special snowflake, and I don't think we should ignore them. Though yes, it'd be just solely FC in the end. Also I am pretty sure lot of us in the community has already been passed the limit of Mary Sue. >_>
