Oh fun fun! Good thread.
My idea of a hero is a raw idealist. It is someone who no matter what refuses to meet half-way on any of their morals. But an important aspect of my hero is that he is not merely stubborn. In fact, he's mostly the opposite. He doesn't want to argue about anything that doesn't matter. Life's to short to waste time on that. However, on an issue like killing (easiest example) he says "No. It's wrong." People would challenge him "What if it was a righteous cause?" "No." "What if your loved one's lives rested in the balance?" "No." It is our responsibility to do the right thing even when it is the hardest of all. I'm not saying we shouldn't sacrifice for our loved ones, in fact, my hero would easily sacrifice his life to save them. But before killing he would look for another way out. Life isn't linear y'know? There's no situation with a limited number of choices. Because of this, my hero is disciplined, and in this way alone is he disciplined. My hero may or may not have ambition. It doesn't really matter. My hero may be fat, skinny, bald, whatever. My hero is wise, and he helps those around him. My hero know truth in the deepest sense of the word. My hero isn't necissarily physically strong. That's unimportant. Finally, my hero never turns his back on those in need, whether it be his worst enemy or his best friend. That's my hero.
