Hero, the dictionary defines it as a person who is admired for having done something very brave or for having achieved something great. In every tale, both fictional and real, men and women who did the impossible were called such.
They came in all shapes and forms, and to be a hero, you didn't even have to be human. However, one thing was certain, heroes were often sought after when everything was going to shit.
A hero was a tragic irony.
To be called a hero, circumstances requiring one must first arise. In short, a hero has no value other than that of solving the problem that gave rise to him or her.
Hellsgate, and Earth for that matter, were absolute shitholes. War, famine, poverty, catastrophes, and crime. The sheer number of problems made being a hero a lot easier than it had been before.
