Essential#2

Every hero has social obligations set far above those they protect. Being the proverbial "top dog" comes with its own set of rules and regulations. First, a hero must do everything for the greater good. While this may sound easy enough, a hero might have to choose between two evils; choosing between good and bad, or bad and worse is amateur work. Which leads to another characteristic; a hero must be cunning and have good decision-making skills. They must understand how each of their actions will affect future events and choices they will have to make. In addition, a hero must understand that by accepting their role, they must be prepared at any point to make the ultimate sacrifice of themself. Not only that, but protection is a must, and they must live up to what they have made themself out to be. Finally, a hero must do what is right not because of what they will gain, but because it is what they should--they must--do.
