"Ive often found myself asking the same questions. Fucking greenskins destroyed everything I held dear in one day. What was an average day for them, was the biggest moment in my life.

There was no hero there for me that day. But id be no better than the things that destroyed my village if I didn't stand up for the good in the world and fight for it.

Necromancer: No, I came here for the knowledge that your war party was going to burn in its pat, I only continue to fight to save myself. You seem to think I am doing this or anything out of the goodness of my heart, and while I may be charitable at times, this wasn't one of them. Now let me leave or I will kill you and use your corpse to aid me in the future, or to slaughter your sorry excuse of an army.

Psion/ Cleric of creation/ forging :....Heroes exist,but I've seen them be seduced and led astray as easily as any other man. I was underground when you suffered, so I could not have helped. I am only here to stop my sisters, which judging from how you speak, you're serving one of them. So with the sincerest of apologies for your own loses, tell me where she is, or I will be forced to beat the answer out of you.

Imperial guardsman/ Knight: Ker, why do I have to meet the clever green skins? What sort of lark are you talking about, your kind is only good for war and fighting, basically animals nipping at the heels of your betters. And here you stand with the audacity to talk about the heroes of man, and spit upon them. Your kind has no knowledge of heroics or any kind of wholesomeness. And I will cut you down as I have done to many of your ilk. Thank the emperor you're a feral sort and don't have any grenades or shooters of any kind. Yes, at least I can fight you as a man of the emperor, and cut you down like the beast you are. FOR THE EMPEROR AND MANKIND, HAVE AT THEE!

A hero isn't someone who is capable of saving everyone everywhere all the time. A hero is someone who helps where and when they can. This is why we need a lot of them.

But my friend, do you not see your path as that of a hero would? Do you not see your quest as a necessary one? What marks the difference between a man who is a hero, and the man who is a villain? No one claims a hero could walk the earth and stop every tree from falling, and every man from dying. But we know that your actions, actions of evil and hatred have a choice. No one stopped them from destroying everything, but my death will not stop further suffering, it might even cause more for the small good I can do.
So let me help you now, stop what you have done and walk a brighter path. For if we battle and either of us fall it would be the end of two quests never quite satisfied.
If my failures scarred you, because I chose this path- then your anger is understood. But you must know that vengeance wont undo what is done.

"you know, given how many people take their family getting destroyed as motivation to BECOME the hero they needed so these things don't happen again, as opposed to becoming the villain so these things will happen with increasing regularity, i think your real problem here is that you're just intrinsically a dick."

"I never called myself a hero. Other people did. I'm just an evil man who fell in with good company and became slightly better for it. When I fulfill my oath, I just want to get as far as I can from here and raise my children. I didn't let such atrocities happen, I caused them. You see this barren landscape? You see this corrupted soil? You see the slaughter? I was there to create it.
What have you lost? Your family? I lost my family years ago. Got them back only to lose them again. I've lost every friend I've ever had for 107 years. I've lost my most prized possessions, my wealth, my followers, the kingdom I worked so hard to build. I've lost my employment twice, and I've lost my life five times over. Go ahead and take my failures, there's enough to build a city of monuments.

''How long have I mused on this? You needn't ask the questions that always surface on my mind, knight of blackest armor.
I would never dare call myself a hero; who am I to judge the worth of my own soul, tell black from white? Such matters reek of pride. No. I simply try to help people to the best of my ability, when able: it's all I know, and all that ultimately matters to me in this life.

And yet, you seem to forget how my companions and I are faced, time and time again, at every turn with the worst our people have to offer.
The deepest depravities the human heart is capable of committing, do you think witnessing such atrocities so often doesn't pull at even the apathetic man's heart?
We are terribly sorry for what has happened to your loved ones. I admit your loss may well have been more than I would be able to endure, but...

What does that speak of YOU?! Look at yourself now, demon. You seem to pride yourself on having left your humanity behind; your heart ringing as pitch-black as it pollutes the air around us, devoid of any warmth! Still, you cling onto the despair and resentment proper of us mortals. Am I mistaken in believing this makes you nothing less than a hypocrite?

What have you truthfully gained from hating your fellow man? What gifts have your anger and cruelty bestowed upon you?
Where righteous wrath and indignation at the world we live in have given way to unbridled Evil and a disregard for all that was once held dear, I see you, taking an easy way out. Such is the difference between you and a hero!
In forfeiting what makes us humane, you have thrown away what would ever drive us to improve the world around ourselves!

Don't you see? I'm terribly saddened to stand in front of you today, like this. But you'll have to step forth, if you wish to see whose beliefs will hold true!''

>>52960138
Heroes are not going to eradicate all evil everywhere. To think they are is to be absurdly, naively, and delusionally optimistic.
The goal of heroism is not the complete erasure of all that is bad in the world. The goal of heroism is the reduction of the occurrence of such events.
I don't really know what your end goal is, but I assure you that all other things being equal, a decrease in competent heroes leads to an increase in events like the one you experienced.
So stop being a selfish, needy little snowflake bitch, get off your fucking high horse, stop throwing a fucking tantrum, and fuck right the fuck off.

>>52960138
Hey man, I don't call myself a hero, it's just what some misguided romantics call me because I'm the only one desperate enough to take up the crappy odd jobs around the continent. Maybe I could've saved your little doomed hometown if I wasn't halfway across the plane dragging myself over dunes upon dunes of nothing, slinging some dying idiot over my shoulder while the other hand kept my guts from falling out. I'm sorry kid, you can kill me if you want, but know that your family will still be dead, and you'll be the only one that cares if I'm dead, which is admittedly more than I deserve.

>>52960138
"The only difference between you and me, beast, is that while I endured the challenges of life, mourned my losses and rejoiced at my victories, you fell to those challenges, became a pawn of whatever fateweaver has brought ruin to you.

Your violent lust for revenge is the brightest spit on the graves of your loved ones one could think of.

Not only did you not chase after those who have committed atrocities against your family, you've decided to decimate, one by one, those who simply cannot do it all.

A doctor cannot save every patient. Town guard cannot save every hooker. We cannot fight every monster.

And despite all that, when one slips by and does what they do best, hurt innocents, you instead of rising to avenge your lost ones and save others from such a fate, strive to hunt down those who would've otherwise helped you.

You are the failure. A mistake. One which direly requires some fixing."

Interesting perspective, but your argument is patently invalid. Your premise (i.e. heroes didn't help me) simply does not necessitate your conclusion (i.e. heroes do not really exist). Mind you, this doesn't mean your conclusion is wrong necessarily. So please reformulate your argument properly so that we can have a proper debate. While your at it, please also tell me what definition of hero you're using, just in case this is a merely verbal disagreement.

I'm an old man bow. Battered and grey... Everybody I ever loved has died long ago, and only I remain. I know this, more than anyone. Each night, I take inventory of all my many failures, and my triumphs. And a planet of regret rests on my shoulders.

The comrades I wasn't able to save, the cities I wasn't able to defend, the people. So many people. They're all burned into the fissures of my mind, I see their faces every night. And I'll never be able to make peace with that, for as long as keep on. I hear their screams, I see the bodies all of them calling out to me. And they look at me and ask "Why?" And I'll never have an answer for them.

I don't need you to tell me of my failures, boy. I know full well. I was never a hero. I never called myself a hero, people spoke of me as if I were a god. I'm no god. Look at me.

I am just as imperfect, fragile as mortal as you. But against all the misery and the strife, I went on. And I was able to bring some good into the world. And that's all that I could've hoped for. I never asked to be a hero.

I've seen battlefields littered with the corpses of the innocent, I've seen the worst of man, I've seen unspeakable horrors long forgotten, and I've seen demons. Do you know what else I've seen?

I've seen that they can be beaten. By brave men and women with unshakable conviction and a belief that makes gods stare in awe and creates wonders..

For your family, I am sorry. But so long as you take up your blade and seek the so all the harm and injustice that was done to you, then I will stand against you.

This is my atonement. For the rest of my days. I offer by blade against the worst of us, so that the best of us may live and if the gods will it, maybe one day more children will have to lose their families.

Do what you must, I'll do the same and we'll see which of us the God's favor in the end.

Where was I?

Where were you when your minions set fire to the inn? When the innkeeper's daughter was pinned beneath a fallen timber, perishing alongside her father as he struggled selflessly to save her?

Look at what you've accomplished in spite of your own tragedy. Look at the obstacles you've overcome and the greatness you've achieved. Look how far you've come.

You had the power to change the world. To make things right. To be the hero we needed, that you knew we all needed. You had the power to make things better, to beat back the darkness in honor of your loved ones' memory and all the good they shared with you.

And instead you chose to wallow inyour own misery. You chose revenge, not against what took them from you, but against a world that had only committed the crime of suffering in different ways than yourself.

What would your family think of your choices?

You're right. I wasn't there for you when you needed me most. I'm just a man, I can't be everywhere. I wish I could be, though. Even with how shit this hero job seems to be.

And I wasn't there when you changed, I wasn't there when you took a bad turn in life and decided the best way to strike back against those that wronged you was to cover yourself in the same muck and shit that they wallow in. And what's worse, is that I wasn't there for the people you hurt on your path to taking your revenge.

But i'm here today. And i'm here for the people you'd hurt down the line. And i'm here for you, so if you wanna grandstand me, don't waste my time any further. Misguided or not i'm not afraid of beating you into a grave for what you've done.

Where is it stated that the hero is good? Its only that he was a hero and expected to save a village at some point and fell through on that. Vlad the Impaler saved tonnes of Romanians from Ottoman oppression and he was evil as fuck.

In the time it takes for the boy to grow up into the antagonists the hero's worldview could have changed as well.

My character is neutral evil with below average charisma and intelligence, so he calls the other guy a whingy cunt and makes a fart noise with his lips.

I seek to save a world from the weaknesses of man, and one such weakness is that there just aren't enough heroes around the world to stop tragedies such as yours.

If I had been there that day, know that my blade would have lunged between you and the terrors that afflicted you.

But today I stand before and offer you a choice, kneel now and be the hero this world requires to stop further horror; or stand against me and fall like all others who've dared to commit such sins within my gaze!

Fuck off you entitled child and if you don't like how the world is go change it for the better. You had the chance to take your tragedy and use it as a foundation to never let that pain happen to another person, but you pussied out and decided to take it out on others

I'm doing the best i can and if you don't like it either help me or get out of my way

"Yes they are worth saving. For me. Maybe for my friends as well.

I spent half my life stumbling in darkness and trying to find the way to do it. All this time not even understanding what I was looking for. And in the end I found out that there is no answer. No clear path. Only darkness and wailing of fucking weaklings who would just cry to the skies and won't do anything. Parents damning their children to the life filled with terror and death. Children forgetting what they were taught and repeating the same mistakes. Unspeakable horror self-perpetuated by victims for they never had the courage to stand up and look it in the eye and see that it is only their own shadow.

After I understood all that I could have just stopped like many did. But anger at a man who showed this truth to me pushed me forward. At first I just wanted to punch him in the face. Later I understood that his and my actions, the way we were pushing through the world, making it bend and break around us, our most simple actions, were creating the path I was looking for in the first place. For there were people who choose to follow us, to remake the world into something that never has been. That never before even seemed possible.

And now you are standing in my way. It is my fault. For everything is my fault. As it is everyone's else fault. For they all didn't stop it. And you are the first among those at fault for you cared most of all and didn't do anything. You want to challenge me? Go on. You are not the first and you would not be the last. I was beaten so many times I could no longer count but I always stood up and learned from my failures. You? You fell and decided that crawling through dirt and shit is the best way you can spend your time. Be my guest."

*Attacks straight away* "Your words are empty and meaningless. If you were meant to live the life you wanted you would have fought to defend it to your last breath.
Instead you stand here blaming me for your weakness.
By steel I will prove my right to live or by steel you will prove your point and have your vengeance.
This is the only truth that matters and the only measure by which I will be swayed"

"So you would prefer all of Creation being devoured by abominations then? Every time I encounter you and your ilk it is the same story. Cursing my fellow Disciples and myself for not being there to save the people or places that you have ravaged. Ever cursing us for not saving that child who you had raped and whose soul you had consumed. Always blaming us for the faults of the world, in order to cover up your own selfishness and evil. It never changes no matter what Multiverse we travel to. No matter what branch of existence we travel to. It always remains the same with you slaves of the Dark. You stand here before me, bristling with power cursing me for the deaths of your family and loved ones, when you could have gone forward to avenge them. You stand before me in a ruined land, inflicting the same atrocities and horrors that you suffered upon it's people. You stand before me with armor and power, that you gained from butchering innocents and murdering their souls. You stand before me wielding the exact same dark powers as the ones who had destroyed what you loved, and you think you can claim the moral high-ground? You perpetuate the same cycle of evil and horror that was inflicted upon you to others and drag them down alongside you, damning their souls. I do not see before me a misguided, tortured youth. All I see is an abomination born of the Dark. You had the chance to avenge your loved ones, those you lost, and you stomped over it i blind rage. Your mindless lust for vengeance is the worst defilement you could over commit to their memory. You spit over their graves with every action you take, with every blighted step you make upon this world. I see now that you care not for avenging your lost ones, you only care about damning others along with yourself in your cycle of ruin.I have lost so much more than you could ever possibly imagine, and yet unlike you those losses tempered me, bettered me. And now for the good of all upon this land, I end it."

No shit. There's only men who do the best they can knowing that it's never enough, that saving one person doesn't balance out not being there for another.

I've saved so many people. They call me a Hero, praise my efforts, tell me that I've done more than any man could. But here I stand, my heart still beating, my limbs still hale, my breath still warm and yet people still are suffering. Those I've saved bring no comfort, no succor to those I've failed to save.

I stare the monument that is my failure in they eye every time I go out, knowing that in choosing to do one deed another goes unfinished and that while I am rewarded for my successess others pay for my failures, for the choices I made to help one and not the other.

But where are you? Are you so obsessed with my failure that you ignore your own? Right now another child is losing their family, their home, their world. Your answer to them would be the same as mine. But when I ask that question of myself I can say "I was doing the best I could. It wasn't enough, so tomorrow I'll do a little bit more because that is all I can do, and it won't be enough either."

Not really. I have made no claims to be a hero, and frankly, my actions have been solely out of self-interest. Anyone saying I'm a hero now, before I've realized my vision of a civilized world, is doing so of their own accord and I have no control over that. Not that I have any interest in stopping them.

>"Where were you when I needed you? Where were you when they slaughtered my family, when they destroyed everything I hold dear. You let such atrocities happen. Vacant! Absent! No where to be seen!"
What, do you think you're first in line for a saviour? Do you think you deserve my help over any others? What do you even have to offer me in return for my services? A man like you, how many men could you command, how much gold could you offer my cause?

>"But I don't blame you, I just learned the truth. There are no such things as heroes. Only false idols. But I will make an Idol... no... a monument from the ashes of your failure."

"I am no hero, you poor soul, just a humble wandering priest. When you needed me, I was but a feeble lost soul not unlike yourself, mired in delusions of power and agency. Consider this world; the amount of suffering, pain, and death taking place in the time we waste here trading words is more than the rational mind is equipped to process. Heretics burned, slaves beaten, animals eaten alive, and sentient beings torn apart from within by rasping parasites. There are no hero or villain who can meaningfully divert the flow of suffering one way or another. You mock those who would be heroes, but you labor under the same delusion, that you matter. We are all destined to be forgotten, no matter how many you save, no matter how many you kill, things will always be the same as they always were. Still though, all your madness and bile might be of use to me, as filthy a creature you are. That is why I shall give you one chance to put down that sword, embrace your pitiful place in an uncaring world, " the priest grins, removing his mask with one hand and holding aloft the yellow sign with the other, "and throw yourself upon the liberating mercy of a god who does not care."

"I am but a mercenary. I am flattered that you thought so highly of me but I am hardly to blame for the loss of your family. Business happened to be elsewhere at the time. It would be unfair of you to condemn me for being a kingdom away, ignorant of events happening on the other side of the kingdom, do you not think so?

But since we are speaking face to face now, I have a proposition for you. I can see that you have done quite well for yourself since your loss but we both know that you still have much to do and that you are going to need skilled personnel to help you achieve your goals. You may have been unfortunate to have been unable to hire me in the past but now is your opportunity to do so. So, shall we discuss the future or would you rather try to kill me like you originally planned?"

Fucking awesome.

What abilities did Syndrome have? Anything he wanted to have if left alone in the workshop long enough.

But Mr Incredible couldn't have that because he wasn't one of the Übermensch supers. Because of Mr Incredible's prejudice the world will not jump centuries ahead in technological brilliance.

"Maybe you should take some personal responsibility instead of blaming others for your failings. I can only save so many villages at a time, you should pull your own weight or I can save none at all. I really don't care, I can make a pretty good life for myself where ever I am. You should learn to do the same."

>>52960138
Oh...so you are THAT kind of people, those who couldn't find a better way to face the madness of this world than be an agent of it.
Listen to me you lil' lad, I joined this "hero" bussiness because I wanted to sate my bloodlust in a way that did not hurt those I care about, they pointed jerks who attacked innocents and I went to kick their arses.
Back then I was not aware of it, but as I grew in strength and smarts, the mood on this realm turned from pessimist to hopeful, people learnt that someone was bringing the fight against those abused their power and while I was busy hacking a corrupt noble apart for trying to kill the heir of Nowhereburg, people nobler than me decided to become proper heroes because they knew one could not be anywhere and knowing thanks to me that criminals could be bested, that tyrants could be defeated, that Evil could be stopped; and with that they could make this a better world.
So are you mad because no one was there to spare your loved ones of this hellhole? I would fell sorry for you, if you didn't decide to make this place even more miserable! What I see here is not a victim of this unfair realm, just some bloke who raging against people who never asked for the misery you're commiting, and the people behind me see don't see you as a reminder of their failures, but as another madman bent to destroy whatever good is still alive in this world.
You want make a monument? So I am. I going to make a monumental harm to your body for any poor sod who crossed ways with your excuse of villany that your family will not discover you in the Other Side and when I'm done with you, I am gonna put your body in the village closest to this battle so anyone there can learn that they don't need to fear scum like you anymore.

>Elijah Rowanhart:
"Where was I? I was exactly where you are now. Bitter. Resentful at the ones who did me wrong. Raising my blade with malice at all who'd look down on me, the way so many "heroes" would surely look down on you. Curing myself of that hatred was a trial that spanned many years of hardship, and sadly our time here is too short to see you bear it. I won't insult you by asking you to change your ways, so my request is only this:
Please don't think too ill of me for stopping you."

>Rangrim Ungart:
"Look, I'm terribly sorry for all this misunderstandin' but ye must have me mistaken. I'm still new tae all this 'hero business', I dun' really understand what makes a hero, nae even if they really exist. Only way tae find oot is for me to keep tryin' tae be one, I suppose. So fer the sake of learnin', could ye kindly stop tramplin' over all these honest folks I'm tryin' tae save?"

>Osborn Hilltopple:
"Ah, so there's your problem. I should've known you'd be another one of those extremist types, the ones that see everything in black n' white. Listen here sunshine, of course nobody's perfect. I mean, if your idea of a bad role model is an absent hero, then what the fuck do you see yourself as? In what fucked up sense are you making up for your own suffering? If you can't buckle up and try to save others from your own suffering then you have no fucking right to speak ill of the ones who endure. The ones like me who drag themselves through the mud just to make it in time to avert the next crisis. So you go and enjoy your tantrum all you want, but don't you dare try and compare that childish destruction to the struggles that we men face, all so we can maybe - just for one day - be able to consider ourselves heroes."

"Loss. You wish to speak of loss like it is some competition? Laughable. You do not KNOW loss. The bodies of my past could be stacked high enough to link earth and heaven. Family, friends, homes, countries, hope, dreams, lost again and again and again. But do you know what I did after I lost everything so many times, after I was reduced to THIS!?"

"I took that loss, I piled it onto my shoulders, and I stepped out into the world to try and right what I was wronged! I took that pain, that agony, that suffering, and made it fuel to burn on a pyre of righteous fury against ALL who DARE harm innocents. I made it my life's mission, and now, my unlife's mission, to help everyone I could. But I am one man, one sword, one set of hands. I cannot do everything. Blame me if you wish, but instead of scorning me, how about you do something proper, and make yourself useful in this world of fiends and monsters, instead of adding to the pile."

I remember roleplaying magical girls and the viability of magical girl outfits in combat always came up with capes/ribbons/skirts being grabbed or caught on things.

In the end I didn't really decide but I was leaning towards magical outfit material either being partially illusory and thus not even solid in the first place, some variant of frictionless so they couldn't actually get caught on things or grabbed, or just kind of seamlessly breakaway like a gecko tail.

Then a year later I saw The Incredibles and figured I might consider the same explanation if I ran in a superhero game for capes.

"I've seen a town of nearly a thousand be levelled by dragons as black as night, their breath an acid that melted through stone, bones, and flesh of children, women and men. The stench of their defilement lingers in my nostrils, the sight was haunting.

As you saw it as the only way in your despair, I do not blame you either. Were it my kin, I no doubt would've turned to a path similar to yours, had I walked alone.

Even if I have saved other towns, discovered ancient monuments and brought prosperity to a land, this memory is the strongest I have.

But I am no hero, nor do I claim it. As I could not save this town from being ravaged, I could not save your family. Whilst I rage, I can still hear the render of bone and flesh of those who kept me from saving what I held dear. I realize now they could've made the wrong choice out of necessity, but I couldn't save them from the wrath I felt in the past. I have learned from practitioners of faith, that even the most wicked can be saved.

If not...then come. Where I fall, there will be no ash for as long as the fires of my fury burn."

It basically doesn't make any sense unless your character actually had the chance of saving his family and didn't do it for some reason.
Otherwise he is just some dude whining because the hero isn't omnipresent which makes me think he spent too much under the sun while wearing his edgy armor and his brain kind of got cooked.

While I haven't saved everyone I wanted to, and I have many failures that I regret, there are many who I have saved. People with friend who think they owe me a favour. Some of them will think that avenging my death is repaying that favour.

Maybe you can kill me. You won't be able stop all of their revenge attempts.

So you have a choice. You could attack me. It won't end well for you.

You can walk away and try to find happiness.

Or you could join me. Do all you can to prevent others from suffering as you have. I've made heroes of people with blacker hearts than yours.

"I don't care about saving the world, the only thing I care about is fighting strong guys. If I save the world while doing so it's just a consequence!"

"The truth? Ah, my dear boy, you're brain seems to have cooked inside that little tin of yours. Perhaps there are no heroes; but then why do so many seem so elated when they spot the fluttering of my robes? What is an idol, but one who is revered? Their praise is by no means false. There is no feat falsely attached to my name, and it is those things for which they cheer.
A hero? That may be what they call it, but that is not why they are grateful. They are grateful because I slew the griffins terrorizing their flocks. They are grateful because I slew the undead who rose in the east. They are grateful because I slew the dragon, whose massive wings would shade the earth before permanently scorching the land black.
All of this with my power, mine alone. King Deugan pays tribute for my services, though I could take it all if I wished. But the point being, I do *not* wish. Not because I dislike material gain, but because *I do not wish*.
That is the crux of it. Your family slaughtered? Everything you hold dear destroyed? So it goes! I may be called a hero, but I am myself! I've no obligation to anything but my own desires, and you ask such nonsense of me?
Do you think only those who wield chunks of metal have undergone hardship? My hands are soft not due to an easy life, but because I slay my enemies before they retaliate! If I am no hero, then why ask of my part in these things? Why have you not seized power with your own hands? Drag them back from the dead, or step into the realm they rest; do something other than pointing that toy at one who does have the resolve to do what it takes.
I may not be a hero, but I am no false idol. My strength is my own. If I will it, I shall save; if I condemn, I shall kill. There will be no monument to your failure, just the ashes of some fool driven mad by his own weakness."

Me in desert. No memories, no home. Lost for unknown time. Found maybe two years later. Then, hired by First Boss, and then Boss. Sanden convince Second Boss I worth hiring, so I stayed. First Boss was still trying to get his work going. Sanden was spending time with Big God Lady, who was once Big God Man, but not supposed to mention that to her. Couldn't leave without offending God Lady. Also, much smaller, he says. Not likely big help. Second Boss still learning how to use brain-things to pick up rocks. Not know tricks enough to fight worth a damn. Only one could is Kepsek. He was busy being statue at the time, i think. He's still not better, but he learned to move without walking. We spend time, getting better. I find place to fight, and then find First Boss, and Boss. Four years ago. Then, we killed giant spider and evil tall point-ears. Then, I kill giant king. Kill other giant kings. Stop stupid ritual and hold 'Primordial' to ground until priest decide to send him back, when Diane ask very nicely. Maybe three years ago, could have stopped village. One year ago, could have saved you myself. But still don't know how to move in time. Maybe I fix you when i learn. But for now, I hold you to ground, until you say sorry, or stop speaking."

Jack Luniscious (ne Jack Gurgeh): "Finally, first person to admit i'm a hero, and he's one that immediately says there aren't any. There's no bloody pleasing some people. Look, Durances suck. I had mine, I'm sure yours was shit. You're in a lot of pain, you lost some folks, I bleed for you. I can count two dozen bodies dead by my direct orders, and a few dozen others that I never could've seen coming. All because I must've not been a hero. I couldn't be the good guy: I wanted money, i wanted power, so, must be evil. Like the bitch i gutted for destroying the Freehold and letting the Lord of Tales snack on some people, and kill a lot of innocents. I make a new compound for the freehold, people stay out because they think i'm evil, they die. I find out their leader is in league with the Lord of Tales, try to tell them, one of 'em walks out with a goddamn bomb vest and tries to give me a hug. The Winter folk put out a contract on my head and the heads of my people. I end up holding those assholes hostage, with my death and the promise of them being caught out in the cold when they've got a gun to my head, and I'm STILL the villain. I march into the Baron of Song's fuckin' house, haul him out by his ears, and shoot his fuckin' brains out and lose 14 goddamn men and one of my best fuckin' friends, I'm still the goddamn villain. And then, I go in with two buddies, rip out the lord of tale's fuckin' heart, and stab it through with cold fuckin' iron, burning away my hand as I hold it, and STILL: Here you FUCKING are. Now, you got out of your mess, lost your shit, and now, it's my fuckin' fault. And I'm sure, when I and my friends here tear your kingdom down around you, someone will blame me too. Fuck this nonsense. Any gambler knows when a game is rigged. And here I am, ready to win again. Last chance to reconsider."

We worked our way OUTWARD. Maxton city was a fucked up place, and it made people like me. And I did my best to help whoever I can. Now, my job, the only job I am good for, is dealing with tinpot dictators like you. And we're gonna start by me taking this fuckin' machete, slicing myself up, and watching you fuckers take the pain for me. Let's start with a hand, and then you and I, we can start understanding each-other." *Joseph Danger draws his machete, made from the bone of a long-dead Kaiju, and hacks off his left hand. It begins to grow back, and a lance of pain heads to his target's wrist*

Rastien, "The Hand Of Pelor": "My good man, of course I am a hero! Haven't you heard the songs, seen the plays, listened to the stories? I slayed dragons, cleansed the tombs of necromancers, and vanquished demons and devils. The light of my blade and my armor shined out across the land, and all knew that Pelor truly loved them, when they heard of my good works. But perhaps, you're a Jealous type. Got some second-rate hero who botched the job, I'm sure, and sad your village didn't survive whatever bad people he was supposed to stop, but now, now is what matters. Now, you're in black armor, with horns, monologing about something boring and promising destruction. That's what villains DO. I kill villains. That's what *I* do. But don't worry. Your death is gonna make a hell of a song. I know just the bard, and he's already got my gold. Stalwart allies? Let us cleanse this land of the taint... of EVIL!"

Rest of the party "For heaven's sake, why do we ever let him talk?"

>>52960138
Where was I? Somewhere else, I imagine. Saving another family, another village, another lost soul. Did they deserve it more than yours? No, of course not. You both deserved to be saved. But I was there, not here, and so by happenstance they were the ones who were saved. It's not fair, and it's not right. But we don't live in a world that's either of those things.

So, what are you going to do about it? Because maybe you can kill me, and maybe you can't. But either way, you've accomplished nothing of value. People will still die, their loved ones will still mourn, and the world will still be unfair and cruel.

Or maybe, just maybe, you could do something about it. Because that's all you need to do be a hero. You look into an unfair world, and you say "no. This isn't how it has to be." You fight to make sure nobody else ever has to suffer the way you and your family did. You go and save those lost souls, knowing you'll never be able to save them all - and you do it anyway.

So make your choice. Put that sword away and go do something useful, or lay on. Because right now, all I see is someone standing in the way of the next family in need, and I don't intend to let you stop me from helping them.

>My fallen Paladin would have a few words to say

"Nice (edgy) speech, now let me top it.

There is no inherent good or evil- what is good for one faction is bad for another. The world is harsh and uncaring. The strong eat the weak. Kingdoms rise and fall. Everything ends with enough time. In times of chaos people band together to survive, in times of peace they plot to undermine each other for their own self interest. And finally there is no justice in this world but what you make yourself.
So instead of raving and shouting at this cruel uncaring world questioning why it didn't care or help when everything you love was destroyed, why not instead ask yourself- how could you let this happen to the ones you love. What have you done to defend or failing that- avenge them? You blame your misfortunes on those who would have helped if they could, while you- present for the destruction of your existence- did nothing. Where were you when your family was slaughtered? Running in terror? Hiding like a coward to preserve your own life? Why weren't you strong enough to save them? Why weren't you more vigilant? And why should anyone but you care about your responsibility- and your failure. The strong eat the weak; now which are you?"

>>52960138
The Hero must come from within, child. I can never be your Hero, for that task is yours. The failure to save your family is your own. Embrace this and become the Hero. Avenge your family and all you held dear.

Had as something similar happen once, and the GM actually changed my alignment from good to neutral because of this reaction, because he was a fucking faggot.

You kill the fucked up idiot, who is willing to kill someone people revere as a hero, because someone died when he wasn't around.

This kind if crazy needs to die, and will garantueed ping evil if the GM isn't just sprinkling him full of DMPC snowflake juice. He will hurt someone, sooner or later, so you are better off stopping him now.

I have never called myself a hero, others call me that. I merely do not correct them on the matter. Also perhaps wishing that I was.

In any event the gods have seen fit to 'gift' this one. A fate that is what passes for humor among their kin and one that means I can not truly loose this fight. It is to kill a future dark lord before he full comes into his power. I have killed a great many people trying do just that, but gave up after finding out just who that future dark lord is. Yup, you guessed it. It is the target of your irrational hate right before you. I just wanted to make the gods happy. Turns out they are petty, cruel, and a great many other things. We are not sinners in the hands of angry judges but rather mere playthings to them.

My failure is in turning aside from fate, but you are the gods trying to 'give me a helping hand'. Your victory would be my 'success'.

You think that you have what it takes to make my greatest possible success come true? Because I would rather keep on failing, living, and trying to go off the great script.

"Eh...in all honesty, you have no idea how spot-on you are.

I'm a new arrival to this world. When your family was put to the sword, i was in the eternal void between cosmos, looking for another world to explore. When your home was razed to the ground and your lands salted, i was in the omnichromatic barrier between this world and the cosmos, negotiating with a particularly suspicious nonexistent helix.

I wasn't there, since i couldn't be there. Nor did i know of this.

I've never said i was a hero. I'm just wandering all creation, looking for a world, where my family could live in peace.

If you think seeing your family die, when you could have at least tried something, is bad, what am i, chopped poison removal organ?

I watched my family descend into madness, the very land itself twisting their minds beyond their natural reach. And the only thing i could do was abandon them to their fate, in hopes of finding another land, one where no earth, no sky would cause madness.

I'm probably too late. But i can still at least try.

Where was your sword when your family was killed?"

"You're right, heroes do not exist. There's only people that do what needs to be done.

And if I have to run you through, so be it."

>>52960138
"I strongly disagree."

Do you think if you'd have been saved that you could have wrought an equivalent amount of good works to the evil you wreak now?

I sincerely doubt it.

What about you, yours, or your motivations, then, ever deserved to be saved?

Even should you best me in combat, the truth remains that you are a blight on the land. Your only merit to this world is a strength that benefits yourself alone. The only way you will ever prove me wrong is to lay down your weapon and make good works. Save yourself first.

"Hero? Old Crecus is no hero. He simply follows the closest thing to heroes you'll ever find. Men and women who do what they can where they can because they can. They are not gods, only a hand full of souls who know they can make even the smallest change to someones life. They've toppled empires, defeated hordes 10 times their number, and brought the damned to see the light. They do good wherever they go, but even they cannot be everywhere at once. What you see as a hero can never be fully become reality. Even Crecus does good, with potions for those he can afford to help.
These are the closest to heroes you will ever find, and if they are not good enough, than you are far beyond reason.

Well it looks like you have already made your own mind about this (he would sigh). Well let me tell you this. I've been around longer than you have, kid. And I've seen my share of troubles. You're not the only one who knows what it's like to lose somebody. And It looks like neither of us has led a charming life, have we? Still, it's not that bad. At least you and I have been lucky enough to live till this point. Let me give you some advice. Forget about revenge. The fate of those who seek revenge is grim. It's tragic, You will end up suffering and hurting yourself even more. Even if you do succeed in getting revenge, the only thing that remains is emptiness. So you can either walk away and better yourself with something constructive. Or we can just cause more misery here. (at this point I would draw my blade) It is your choice if you wish to continue the cycle.
