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?

Any place in mind? Hopefully not too far away from the nearest porter.

Not yet, just somewhere within an hour's drive or so. The remote anonymity would be well worth the commute.

I can certainly understand the sentiment. Well, Dr. Gottlieb, I wish you luck. Not only in your pursuit of a place, but also in your newly found role of 'hero.'
