The Hero

--

--

The good boy of the story. The one who's out to get the bad boy and defeat him once and for all or some stuff like that.

The Hero's Team
Since Hero isn't God, they're teamed up with their ally, The Mentor, the Flying Guide, The Antihero, The Villain (if the villain part two or something worse shows up), their client, The Bad Spy, the Temp Aid.

Abilities
If Hero needs to be sent out on an adventure, dangers are bound to show up. That's why they have powers to help them beat said dangers. But these powers can't be stronger than the villain's or else that's being OP. Although Hero's own abilities cannot be any stronger than their foe's (or foes', depending on the amount of enemies), their allies' can be. Such allies are Hero's Ally (rarely), Mentor (or else what'd be the point of them being Hero's teacher?), and Temp Aid.

In the fantasy genre, these abilities are commonly called spells. They can be found in tomes, wands, little trinkets, and other magical things.

Hero Types
Typical: Hero is a weakling born in a poor country, city, town, village, etc. with little to nothing special about them (unless they are...). One day, the call to action happens and they're off on their adventure.

Atypical: Anything to describe Hero from above but reversed (i.e Hero starts off rich or they're immediately better than everyone else). Because Hero is already advantaged, they must be knocked down a few levels to make things interesting. For example, their city is destroyed, their parents are killed, they're warped off to another realm (or what have you), making riches inaccessible, or Villain Ruins Everything by causing any of the prior scenarios.

Soft Pseudo: Hero doesn't actually have any true intentions to ward off evil but fights only because...
 * They were forced to
 * They just want rewards
 * They want to look cool
 * They don't really know what they're doing
 * They really don't know what they're doing
 * They don't want to look like a bad person

Hard Pseudo: Hero turns out to be Villain. The story is just told from Villain's point of view to "protagonize" them. This is rarely seen to be a stand-alone case; it's usually found when a side story is told by Villain on why they act against Hero in a story where Hero is Hero and Villain is Villain. Sometimes, we may find that this works and that this is The "Villain", but most times not. So, think of it like The Court Scene where the two people tell their stories on what happened and they both make the storyteller look like the good guy and their opponent the bad guy.

A second version of Hard Pseudo Hero is The "Hero" where "Hero" only appears to be the good guy to others so then no one (except one guy) wises up to "Hero's" true plan.
