I NEED A HERO!!!

There is always a point where myth meets reality in some way or another. One point where monsters meet humanity is the archetypal hero. Interestingly, our way of thinking of hero’s really hasn’t changed much even over thousands of years. Heroes of myth often have some remarkable birth, or occasionally are a normal person who is affected by some remarkable occurrence. This hero has some unique power or skill, often a destiny, a tragic flaw, and so often a tragic backstory. Almost always, despite their remarkable traits, the hero is still distinctly human for better or worse. Unfortunately though, most ancient heroes have rather tragic endings, which is still more or less typical for modern day heroes.
