Hero
[heer-oh]
noun, plural heroes;
1. a person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for their brave deeds and noble qualities.
2. a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal.
There are a great many heroic types among the imPort population, and this is probably a rather tired question, but indulge my curiosity if you would.
What is it the elevates a person from simply well-intentioned, to someone worthy of such a distinguished title?
Deeds? Bravery? Strength? Capability? Righteousness? Nobility? All of the above, or some combination thereof?
Or is it simply that there's one person in the world that believes it?

Facing the odds and refusing the accept defeat. Yes, I can see why that could be considered heroism.

I'd say my initial definition is close to yours. I knew a man like that, and he inspired a great many of us to do the same. If not for him, our world would have been lost.
[It's actually a pretty funny story that's sounding more and more familiar the more he thinks about it. Scary]

The Jaeger Program was formed to combat monstrous alien life that entered our world. It was largely successful for a time, but after a handful of years, the United Nations began to lose faith in it as that alien life continued to grow in strength, and eventually defunded it entirely in favor of constructing a wall. Knowing the coastal wall was doomed to failure, Marshal Pentecost did everything possible to keep the program afloat. He was all too aware that we were the world's only real hope in combating and ending this threat.
He held onto the remnants of the program and fought to keep it afloat through whatever means necessary. He died fighting one of those aliens during our final operation, had known the odds of survival going into it in the first place. That sacrifice was a large part of why the operation was able to succeed, and enabled us to finally neutralize the global threat after 12 years of war.

Deepest apologies. I got rather carried away. I am Dr. Hermann Gottlieb, a theoretical physicist. I was tasked with charting the Breach and discovering its vulnerabilities]
