It was only right that we had a counter to the "Villain Topic". I think this could be open to a lot more variety because of anti-hero characters. I'm going to think about this for a bit and post later, maybe i'll be inspired by another post. But I'm torn between about 5 candidates at the moment - sleep could help!! :lol:
Looking forward to reading your posts.

Well my personal hero must be T.S. Garp from John Irving's "The World According to Garp"
Ok, he's not the 'Indiana Jones'-type of hero :P , but cool nevertheless

With your indulgence I shall post a few as they occur to me.
The first one is definitely Dent Arthur Dent, from the Hitch Hikers Guide Books.

My favourite hero( if u can call it that way :lol: ) must be Rincewind, the wizard from the Discworld Novels. Well, technically it's more of an anti-hero, but still, he saved the Discworld several times :lol: :lol:

Dirk Gently, also from Douglas Adams. His Dirk Gently's Hollistic Detective Agency. Haven't read it in a long time so the title may not be quite right, but I will correct it when I find it if no one beats me to it(JPaul(formerly known as Jmif?)) How things change in just 2 weeks ;)
