Stand in DE

So who is(are) your pup's hero(s)?

Or, for a truly dangerous to your productivity DE, make a haiku or limerick using your pup's tropes.

Kirk's heroes are his dad, the Mercury Seven, and Abraham Lincoln. (The first is pretty much canon now, thanks to the film, and the latter was established in the show and echoes Roddenberry's own love of Lincoln.)

Knox's heroes are Woodward and Bernstein, Edward R. Murrow, and any reporter who stood up to the man. If he were from the present, he'd add Daniel Pearl to the list.

Charlie isn't the sort to have heroes, though he has very strong admiration for his sensei.

Gibbs idolizes Jack Sparrow, but will never admit it.

Cyborg...let me get back to you on that one. Still figuring out his inner self, I think.

[a1enzo]

Enzo's heroes are Bob (personal) and Tron (historical).

Dan doesn't really have any heroes.

Neither does Diego (in canon) but in Bar he really thinks Logan is awesome for cutting a stool down to his size. :D So that would count.

Athos doesn't...I don't know how to say it. I don't think he's got the typical 'hero' fixation on anyone. There are people he respects and looks up to (Porthos, Aramis, and later D'Art) and then of course there is the King.

Carl I have to think on for awhile.

Han's got Dewlanna, but he'd probably just say that he is his own hero.

Doc has the most. In canon - Tunstall, definitely. In personal backstory that's come to light - his eldest brother who was killed in the Civil War. In bar relationships/canon - Artemis, Inari, Kate Barlow, and Coyote. Artemis and Inari saved his life once. Kate gives him a reason to live for, and he looks up to her for not being willing to settle for the easy road just to avoid trouble. Coyote...well, she's Coyote. She is myth and power and she's always been (mostly) good to him.

He greatly respects Jack Bauer and Jack Sparrow, Will, Bill Pardy, Nathan - all of his friends - but they're not really 'hero' types.

To answer my own question now that I am at work...

Ben's heroes are his older brother (cause he's his older brother duh) and Susan Storm-Richards (because even after all she's been through she hasn't gotten callous).

Val's heroes are her dad and Dr. Richards. She has a lot of respect for her mom as well.

Artemus' hero is Shakespeare.

And I'm blanking on anyone else.

[vivien]

Tom's heroes are Salazar Syltherin, Tonks, Door, and he's pretty taken with Serpentine when it comes to looking up to someone in the Underside.

Ingress has many heroes. Alanna, Laura/X-23, Faith and Tonks from back in the day, Megwyn, Door, Tom, Gavroche, Savil and Vanyel - gosh... she could just keep going. She admires a lot of people.

Okay, okay, Cal is Bela's hero right now. I think that's about it for her, though.

Mojo Jojo's hero is Mojo Jojo!

[ceitfianna]

Will's hero is Robin.

Demeter doesn't really have one but she's always amazed by her daughter.

Tumnus' heroes are Aslan and Lucy.

The Pirate King's ego is too big so he doesn't have any.

Sameth's heroes are his parents especially his mother because he doesn't think he'll ever be able to do what she does.

I'm not sure about Jane, Ann Radcliffe comes pretty close to being a hero for her at least according to canon. She probably has more but I'm not sure who else.

[camwyn]

Ray's heroes are Charles Fort, Nikola Tesla, and Charles Proteus Steinmetz.

Whistler hasn't told me who any of his are, although I suspect the recently deceased Les Paul, inventor of multi-track sound recording, and the fellow who invented the Moog synthesizer are high on the list.

Still working on the others. I suspect Bumblebee may have slotted Optimus into that position, but that's the- oh, right, forgot, canonically Gordon's are Feynman, Einstein and Hawking. He has also added Simo Hayha since everything went to hell; a little Finnish guy who went from 'ordinary farmer' to 'sniper so terrifying the Russians started calling artillery strikes in on positions where he might be because nobody could actually stop him', and then back to being a farmer, was right up his alley.

[skidmo]

...really need to send Nikola to talk to Ray again so he can reveal his identity now. :)

Coreen: Well, in her case...it's weird. Her heroes are Vicki, who saves her butt quite a bit, and Squirrel, though he might not count as they're lovers, and he's a supervillian. Meh.

Cleopatra: Her heroes are Alexander the Great, a few women in her family, and Isis. Since, you know, she's the living embodiment and all that jazz.

Beetle: Beetle...is his own hero. He gives me a headache with all his self back-patting.

Ivy: She looks up to quite a few people. Basically any strong woman there has ever been, she looks up to. She has Rachel on the tippy top of this list, as her personal Jesus.

Edie: She's not been approved yet, but I feel like doing hers as well. Her hero is Tony. Again, supervillain, but he loves her, and would do anything to help her, and that's what counts in the end.

*sneaks in on college computer after classes*

I don't think Felix actually has any heroes. Certainly there's no canonical mention of any specific past people, but it goes deeper than that. He's on the quest because he feels it needs doing, not because he feels so-and-so would do it were he still around.

Indeed, there is a suggestion that the majority of people don't consider the past very important; one character specifically remarks that progress has stopped, that no group has the ability to build anything like the structures that are left from past ages.

Hands down, Gaeta's is Admiral Adama.

Gaius Baltar used to be on that list, too, but. Well. *wry smile*

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

I can not wait to see how you handle the last season of BSG.

[bcgphoenix]

Ahahahahahaha oh man, with at least a swimming pool's worth of tea, for one. Damn you, RDM.

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

I still don't think I'm over what they did to Gaeta.

[bcgphoenix]

For srs. There's getting the short end of the stick, and then there's, well. All of that. D:

[aberration]

Elle doesn't have any heroes. Yeah, I know, I guess there must be irony in there somewhere. Probably the only person I'd maybe describe her as looking up to is X. And Jamie. Maybe.

Sharon - I again don't know if I'd use the word hero, but - Adama. And her husband, as cutesy as that is. And she always managed to admire rather than be jealous of Starbuck's talent as a pilot and card player.

Caprica really doesn't have heroes. Sixes tend to be kind of... self-possessed, and that's the nice side of saying self-centered. There's more of an expectation that people will meet their standards.

Carla would probably say her mother. And her fiance, though they tend to take turns playing the knight in shining armor.

[minkhollow]

Cata has no heroes. Cata needs no heroes.
(A lot of that is because the only Hero she's met in person fucked up her life but good. She quite looked up to a few of her instructors, when she was still in training at the Guild, but that's the closest she gets.)

Angel adored his grandmother, and finds it a bit ironic that they didn't sort out their breaking-point differences until after they were both dead.

Carl... aside from a few of his coworkers, you mean? XD Pretty much anyone who was involved in the early development of computers.

For Larry, part of me wants to say Thomas Edison, largely because he really got somewhere with the Inventing Stuff thing. But... part of me also wants to say not so much? So i'm not sure.

Cos, I have no idea.

For Moist and Conflict Diamond, this is also a v. v. v. loaded term. As such, I don't know that either could be said to have heroes. (For Moist, Doc comes close, but he'd never say it in those terms For Obvious Reasons.)

...Okay, tough territory now...

Tyler's the easiest really. He biggest superhero heroes are The Red Panda (for sheer common sense and general 'hey I met him' factor) and The Flying Squirrel. His number one meremortal hero is Ray Stantz, because quite possibly he is the only man with a life weirder than his, and is still relatively sane. ...that and the man takes him on car rides and teaches him neat stuff. Ray will likely never catch on.

I...have no idea who Mother's heroes might be, but I'm not touching them with a 10 km cattleprod.

Dot... easily, her current hero is Bob. Growing up? Her mother, Mairi.

Hack and Slash don't have the attention span for hero-worship, outside of obsessively collecting Power Ranger toys now.

[crazyfurries.livejournal.com]

...Edit that. Mother's main hero is Joey Skaggs and we will be keeping our little maniac the HELL away from him.
