The Innocent

The people that's in the streets...

The general public or any collective like them. They lead ordinary lives and have little importance to the story outside of playing the role of Bird's Egg for the Hero and their friends to protect. The Innocent are usually unaware of times when the Villain means to deceive or attack them until Danger Strikes. The Innocent, along with the entire planet, are the most popular victims of evil deeds carried out by SMCE antagonists who wish to take over the world, achieve mass-scale Mind Control, or execute any other weak Evil Scheme they have on their agenda. They're also powerless when other Conflicts arise, such as a Dragon attack or Natural Disaster shaking them up. This evokes feelings of pity from protagonists who wish to extend a helping hand to the less capable. That's why many leading protagonists, including superheroes, Vigilantes, and even some Flawed Neutral Good, devote themselves to the protection of the Innocent.
