Wednesday DE: Heroes II.

[ostro_goth]

Which persons your character has met in Milliways do they admire most? They might be either heroes from tales or legends, or people whose work they admire for personal reasons. For example, the hero that gets the most awe from Teja is Weyland (despite being fully aware of the man's highly problematic personality) because he's the god of smiths from Teja's people's pantheon; for Father Harman, it's Rae, because she deals with vampires all by herself in a desperately dark crapsack world, with none of the resources he has.

Hmm. For William Douglas it's Hotspur. He still hasn't figured out that they're from different universes, and it doesn't matter: look, here's the legendary guy that beat his uncle the legendary Douglas and then won his loyalty in a fight against the English throne, and he's every bit as amazing as he should be. He fights! He's on Security! He's brave and honorable! He is The Best Knightly Knight Ever! William's kind of aware that Hotspur is not nearly as impressed with him, and that's uncomfortable.

For Harry, sappy as this may be, it's Viola. He has a very deep respect for her courage and her resourcefulness and her intelligence.

Loki admires himself! Aaaand also X. Sorry, Jim, it's a close call, but he'd have to say he thinks X is more impressive.

Mary of Guelders admires Cosette. LOOK HOW NICE COSETTE IS AND HOW WELL SHE DRESSES!

Aw. Loki. It's the Cosmic Power thing, isn't it? <3

[never_promised]

Yes. Yes it is.

*sniffs* It's more impressive when there's no superpowers involved, Loki. But I don't care. I admire Yrael way more than you, so there. *huffs off*

[never_promised]

L: ugh who's yrael never mind don't tell me they sound really stupid and boring and i don't care what you think

If it's any consolation he does admire Jim. As humans go. And thinks quite highly of Young Jim.

J: SOMEONE WHO'S BETTER THAN YOU LOKI

Jim admires Loki too! As over-magicked superpowered people go. He likes his (un)willingness to blow shit up on request, and his capacity for snark. But Young Jim also likes him better.

[cutting_edgex23]

Et tu, Jim?

Hank looks up to X and hopes someday he'll be as competent as she is. (I'd add confident, but that's going meta.)

It was a very brief meeting and Emcee will never see him again, but the complete and utter awe Emcee had for Ziggy Stardust is unmatched. I think he could have been brought to tears. But aside from the otherworldly, he has a lot of respect for Elrond (he was very kind to him when he was injured), and he admires Sinric a great deal for his abilities, also sharing with him a deep kinship.

Emcee also likes Steve Rogers a lot because he punches Nazis.

Captain America. Like, seriously Steve Rogers is the coolest, with the shield and the fighting aliens and Nazis and the whole surviving being frozen in ice thing. AND the dude has his own comic book! (And although the mun hasn’t gotten around to dropping it in thread yet, you best believe Barry has gotten his hands on more issues and a factual article or two).

Besides all that, though, Steve is also a really nice guy and Barry doesn’t feel intimidated in the least talking to him. There’s also the fact that Barry can relate to him somewhat, knowing that Steve didn’t start out super heroic, either. They both got their powers from an experiment (granted, Barry’s was accidental [as far as he knows right now] with science gone awry), and they both decided to use it to do good things.

TL:DR, basically Steve Rogers is Barry’s Hero Goals.

Ohh. I legit teared up a little. Thank you.

Steve is the best.

Baze admires a lot of people! He admires Ysalwen because she's kind and clever and has the best dog, and X because she's kind and awkwardly endearing and takes no shit, and Ibani because she's kind and clever and takes no shit. (I'm sensing a theme.)

He also admires Barry because he's smart and geeky and not afraid to express himself, and Ellen because she's competant as hell, and Bodhi because he's a great cook and Baze knows what he did on Scarif.

Baze does not admire Wilford, Sinric, Bernard, or Teja.

Rude.

[never_promised]

but loki is surely winning him over rapidly

[iprotectyou]

Nnnnooo, gonna go with no on that one! Loki a) was rude when they first met, and b) broke the fish, which is equally hilarious and awful.

So, sorry, but no. Try harder, Loki.

[never_promised]

well loki says he doesn't care what anybody thinks about him anyway SO THERE

[iprotectyou]

Okay, okay, fair enough. Poor Loki. His arrogance will be his undoing.

[cutting_edgex23]

Loki says a lot of things in a lot of ways!
