In this thread I want you guys to talk about your heros. Fictional or real. Whether they have impacted you or somebody else feel free to tell me your story.
Also when it does come to fictional, what is your favourite kind of hero?
Anti-hero
Tragic hero
Superhero
Personally I’m a sucker for a tragic hero. Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul being a prime example of this for me.
So I read this series last Throne of Glass last summer. Whenever someone says hero, the main character of the story always pops up into my mind.
The girl was an assassin who was actually a Queen and though she was selfish at the start, she learned to love others and care for others too.
And no matter how big the odds were, she’d always just tell herself I am Aelin Ashryver Galathynius. I will not be afraid. And then, despite her fear, she’d do what needs to be done and fight with all she had.
And it now strikes me just how much she impacted me too. Like, there were times when I told myself to be like Aelin and just do what I wanna do. This one time, I was scared about something. Like, really really scared and then I just calmed myself down saying I will not be afraid.
The point is, that girl’s my hero and shall always be.
My real life hero is Bruce Lee Everything about him and about his life just inspires me so much, especially as a martial artist myself
Fictional-wise? Definitely Spiderman. I can relate a hell of a lot to the character, and the inspiration I get from the early and original Amazing Spiderman comics is pretty never ending. I can always go back and read the first especially whenever I feel a bit down :3
One of my heroes is Mr. Fred McFeely Rogers. I love him, he made the world a better place for everyone while he was alive.
As for the hero in my stories, two of which I like are Destiny Taylor from “In Cold Blood” and Cassandra Berkeley from an untitled story that I’m writing. Both are anti-heroes. I really love writing anti-heroes, though I’d like to try writing a tragic hero.
