Hero 1 Lore Question


Cende

 

Posted

I'm making a Hero 1 themed character, planning on having him be a mutant child who was 12ish when his father went through the portal. My question is do we know if Hero 1 had any canonical children? He was in a romantic relationship with Lady Jane, but I don't recall anything explicitly saying they had a child. Which would leave room for this character. Am I right about that though?

If the valentine tips were to be believed, He and Lady Jane never consummated their relationship. More of a feelings left unspoken situation.

Hmm, then perhaps I'll have to use the good old Revenant Hero Project as his background

He could have had an ex-wife, old girlfriend, lesbian friend he surrogated for.

There are two characters with very similar names.

Hero One is the guy who led the Omega Team during the Rikti Invasion in 2001, former leader of the UK-based Dawn Patrol, wielder of the Excalibur, and currently in the game as the Honoree. He's said to have a platonic relation with Lady Jane.

Then there's Hero 1, the former's father, said to have been instrumental during the Cold War in the 80's to prevent a nuclear holocaust. Valentine Tips claim he had a fling with Lady Grey, (though she doesn't act like Hero One's mother). Presumed to be either dead or retired.

So Hero 1 had at least one child, and could have had more. Hero One is a mystery, though he's depicted as an adult, and could have fathered one himself. Both are an oddity amongst the game's NPCs due to the fact that their secret identities are purposely kept from the players. Me, I think Hero 1 (senior) was/is Patrick Duncan.

You got that backwards. Hero One is the dad; Hero 1 went through the portal.

Both are just lousy names. Probably the only bad thing about Hero 1, though.

Or if you want to go dark, go the Damian Wayne route and have a member of his rogues gallery have a child with him without his knowledge or consent.

He knows, but all the good names are taken

Agreed, but still not quite as bad as making player versions of canon NPCs, especially if they're significant/major NPCs.

Only if you're trying to write it as a story. If you're doing it for fun, go wild.

In the most recent case, Hero 1 is the son of Hero One although his path to assuming the mantle was a rocky one. The current Hero 1 didn’t initially want the responsibility that comes with being a super-powered hero but events transpired that changed his mind…and his destiny. The death of his father landed the title of Hero 1 and custodianship of Excalibur squarely in his lap. The transition from a rough and tumble bloke living in London to the single most influential hero of the Rikti War was long and difficult, but in the end Hero 1 proved to be one of the greatest heroes to ever live.
It's best to stay away from this. Being Hero 1's son means you'd have to take the mantle and Excalibur and that's just not going to happen.

Sure, if you never intend to RP with him and are doing it for teh lulz, then go nuts.
In RP? Yeah, that doesn't happen. Or, at least, the people trying it get laughed out of the area

For all the praise I've heaped on Rick Dakan's original writing, the canon character names SUCK. There are several groups of characters with nearly the same name with slight variations on the words, and it's becoming impossible to track, like Hero One, Hero 1, Hero I, Hero True or whatever and the Miss/Mrs./Ms./Missus Liberty and so forth. I'd sooner have two characters with a crappy name than what is effectively the Parallel Illusions.

I think it fits, actually, that the child of an active hero would want to take her parent's alias. I know I would. Since the FBSA register doesn't allow for two heroes to share a name, Ms. L and Hero 1 did the smart thing and changed a few letters.

Just a thought.

Didn't Manticore inherit the title from his father who was also Manticore?


NCSoft will be getting no more of my money and my GW2 purchase was halted the day of the announcement. I'm a loyal and very profitable customer. I hope to return to giving them all of my money, should CoH survive.

Good thing he bribed some people with his vast fortune to let it slide.

And of course, Luminary I and Luminary II. The first Luminary was a male human. The second is, apparently, a female robot.

Positron modeled the robotic Luminary II after the human Luminary's wife.
