What fictional character is your hero? You can be joking or serious about this. Mine is Chuck Greene from Dead Rising.

[ShadOBabe 18,984]

Wander from Wander Over Yonder.

If I could be a half of the good person he is, I'd be happy.

The Doctor. From anime, I would add Major Motoko Kusanagi

[Night Silent 93]

Optimus Prime.

"Autobots, roll out!"

[Lance da Pegasister 54]

Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X). He is so caring and uses his skills to help others. I really relate to him. Also Armin from SNK.

I'm torn between Griggs and Gaz from CoD4.

 

Oh, and that sniper from Saving Private Ryan.

Hehe, no doubt mine as well 

Also Lelouch and Itatchi

And The Dude 

[AmberDust 1,116]

I'm surprised to say Captain Vimes of the Watch.

[baba_booey 4,299]

Dr. Alphys.

 

He's essentially me in lizard/dino form, so yeah <3

[Venomous 18,813]

Naruto from Naruto.

I really admire his determination, confidence, and loyalty.

[Dan. 1,825]

Tyler Durden from Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club.

I'm pretty sure you're all familiar with this:

 

"Let's-a-go!"

[CandyStrike 603]

Tree Hugger, because I would like to be more mellow like she is. She's a simple pony that goes with the flow, but has hidden talents that can save the day.

[Concerned Bystander 2,901]

Hank Hill.

 

He's pretty much straight down the line, does things by the book, but when the chips are down he will do whatever it takes to look after his family.

[Steel Accord 6,658]

This is actually a question I've longed struggled with. It bothers me that I know what's wrong with me and I can point to plenty of characters who I am akin to and not in positive ways, but I am much less able to identify characters I aspire to be because they represent better aspects of me. When asking who is your hero? The question isn't just a character you like but one whom you look up to, attempt to emulate, see something of yourself in them that they are the apotheosis of.

 

To me, there is no easy answer to that question. Gun to my head, I would say the closest thing is Don Quixote, completely devoted to his ideals and often clueless of social situations, both aspects of myself, but he at least got shit done! Which is more than what I can say for me. More distantly, by a lightyear, is Cyrano de Bergerac. Intelligent, charming, skilled, witty, poetic, nearly everything I am not but admire greatly.

 

On the show, I would actually say Pinkie Pie. I identify with her optimism but damn if that pony is not a hard worker, whereas my greatest sin that I struggle (and often loose to) is sloth.

I thought about this question for quite a while. I'm leaning toward Jolee Bindo from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. He will never save the galaxy, and he knows this. He isn't trying to. But he's seen a lot in his long life, and developed wisdom that the Jedi council will never grasp. His only wish is that whoever does save the galaxy be a wiser man. To this end, he's not afraid to stand toe to toe with a Jedi, the self-proclaimed heroes of the galaxy, and tell them that they are wrong.

 

The world's greatest villains were all heroes in their own respective circles. It takes a wise, brave man to tell a hero that they are wrong.

[Raven Rawne 1,374]

Commisar Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium (Warhammer 40000). An antihero who thinks about his own survival first, and could be easily labelled a coward compared to the usual "big frakking heroes" like Superman. Yet despite his reluctancy to putting himself in danger in favour of enjoying good wine and pleasant company, he can do outright heroic deeds if the situation demands it. He's not a cardboard cutout - he has real emotions, including fears, yet he can conquer them in order to get stuff done like a true Hero of the Imperium.

 

It's not about being fearless, but managing to overcome fear.

:okiedokielokie:  I'll let this slide because I agree with everything else you said. It does take a hero to tell the hero he is wrong. See Shakespeare's Corialanus.

Actually, I would argue Cain is one of the only true heroes in that setting, exactly FOR those qualities you mentioned. Cowardly, and really only in the sense that he feels fear, as he is, he is not corrupt, unfair, wrathful, or prejudicial.

Accelerator and Kamijou Touma from A Certain Magical Index. Accelerator because he acts tough and doesn't take shit from people, yet he's still fundamentally a good guy, and Touma because he stops at nothing to help his friends, or even complete strangers if he has to, despite knowing he'll probably end up severely hurt.

Cthulhu is my fictional hero.  Granted, he's not very good at hero-ing; can't so much as be bothered to get out of his tomb most days.  Fact is, he's rather more villainous than he is heroic.  But I think he'd be very good with issues like population control and...  Mostly that.  And he'd go about things indiscriminately.  That's more than I could say for some.
