"I don't have any "hero" in the tower. I have friends but I don't think I could pick one out as a hero. I think everyone in this tower who doesn't give up are heroes in their own special ways! Anyone who fight to see their world restored and the people they love in fact." Doctor Emmett L. Brown
"Some of the greatest heroes in this Tower are the ones who haven't done anything dazzling and famous. Instead, they've done small, necessary things to make this place into somewhere that people can really live together — like the person who knitted the things I've left you and asked me to make sure they get to children, or the people who devote themselves to quietly protecting others who can't protect themselves. Maybe their efforts are more modest, but that doesn't make them any less important or deserving of praise!
I won't mention any names, because most of those people are the kind that don't want thanks or attention for what they've done, but please make note of how important they are somewhere, okay?" Claudia Kotomine
"It would be impossible to pick just a handful of people out of everyone with us - and everyone who was here before us. Despite loss, dissension, pain and fear...no matter what we hope to do when we get back...we're all fighting for the same thing, and we're all fighting together. And the fact that we can overcome everything that's happened here...I think that's more wonderful than words." Patrick Dawn
"I think almost everyone here is a hero in their own way! :)" V/V
"Romeo, I could keep going. I alone could probably fill your book for you because of one simple fact. When it comes down it it, everyone in this Tower is a hero. Not all of them seem like it. Not all of them want the title, but all of them, as some point or another, have found themselves helping someone else in this fight against the Administrators. Helping them, when they did not need to. Helping them, when someone else might have walked away.
All light has shadow and all shadow has light. The Administrators cast a dark shadow, and we--all of us--are the light." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
"Anyone who fights against all odds, who stands up for what is right even if staying silent is easier. They are the true heroes and everyone here fulfills those criteria" Shion
Members of Pandora
"They're brave. It takes a brave person to go up against a force like the administrators, and it takes brave people to follow them.
I don't know who founded Pandora, but it doesn't really matter. They're trying to save all of us. Not that there's anything wrong with the people who don't know how to, but Pandora... I think they'll be able to accomplish what they've set out to do." Neal Cassidy
Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (9)
"Within this tower are a number of heroes both mythological and otherwise. While I'm not qualified to speak on all of them, there's one I know as well as I know myself. I learned years ago that a hero need not be flawless; quite the opposite. A flawless hero would know nothing of loss, failure, or pain, and therefore would have no concept of the stakes for which they fight.
Diarmuid Ua Duibhne has known all three of those, and known them well. I think that to be a contributing factor in his constant (quite literally to a fault) insistence upon placing others before himself. To spare others from pain, Diarmuid would readily fight and die without hesitation. Some might call that level of dedication bordering on self-destruction, and I would be inclined to agree. But even so, that genuine concern and kindness is something to truly admire.
To be human is to possess flaws and imperfections: fear, hesitation, self-interest, even hatred. Yet coupled with humanity comes empathy, and it is that which I think makes one capable of being a hero--one who can act in the protection and best interest of others. Ask me for a hero of the highest integrity and kindness humanly possible, and without doubt or hesitation I would name Diarmuid above all others.
Allow me to being this long-winded and slightly biased response to a close. A true hero should be in some measure flawed; otherwise they may never be able to understand those they mean to protect. Without loss and pain, victory has no meaning. All of us here would do well to remember that from time to time." Waver (anon)
"Diarmuid Ua Duibhne is a hero because he's a good knight who protects people and he fights monsters really well." Aleph Sinclair
Diarmuid always helps others. I never see him when he is not helping, or training, or distributing weapons. His kindness and dedication make him a hero." Shion
"But for the best hero, I would say people like Diarmuid and the White Saber and Lancelot.
Diarmuid because he's a gentle and caring big brother. He's always ready to take responsibility for protecting others. And he's strong too. You should see him dual wield." Lancer (Cu)
"I would say that Diarmuid is one of the greatest hero, for he always puts others before himself. Be it their happiness or safety, he does not hesitate to give his life for others and has proven this in his past.
He also teaches others and helps them understand what a hero is to be." Suzaku Kururugi
"It's hard. A lot of people here in the tower are pretty great like heroes.
I think if I had to name just a few people, I think the best heroes I know are the two puppy brothers. I guess one is supposed to be a hound and the other a puppy. Maybe? One of them is named Lancer and the other one is his brother. They're really kind and strong at the same time. And they bring people together and make them feel welcome. I think that last part's really important for a hero." Urotsuki (anon)
"Dia's a good person too! He saved me from a monster and helped me when the bad boy with green hair burned me and told me how I could be a better support! We ate lots of cake at his and his sons birthday, and he told me what brave was and what knights were! He plays with me a lot too, and we're gonna sing Rabbit's songs with me too! He made me little Rab too, and he and Raphael gave me Juralumin!" Yotsuba
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.
But many still remain, to struggling against the bullies in charge of this place. I know a few personally and I knew a few who are still gone. Minato Arisato, Diarmuid, Enoch, Doctor Brown, Aleph, Naoya Toudou, Labrys, Risette. . .
I don't think of any of them as the "best hero" but I do believe they are heroes all the same, due to a common quality they all share. Because they decided to fight back against a force with superior power and control. Injustice in the system is stronger than yourself, and yet they continued onward anyhow. They did not give up.
Bad things happened and they rose above them. They are not perfect or without sadness, but they resist their oppressors with all their might.
They want change in a positive direction, to improve our situation for the better even when it seems an impossible task. They want to try.
That is what makes them heroes, Romeo." Hidetoshi (anon)
"Diarmuid - Because a hero isn't perfect." Reno (anon)
Enoch (7)
"Enoch is a hero because he's a great leader and he cares about everyone, and he's strong and capable." Aleph Sinclair
"Enoch is always kind and nice to everyone, he works really hard to try and stop the administrators, I think he is a hero Taiki
"And then there's Enoch! He's always working to help others, whether by protecting them or making them cloaks. And he's got a cool weapon." Lancer (Cu)
"My uncles Enoch and Lucifel work the hardest out of anybody to protect people and fix the tower. Not everybody appreciates it, and they put themselves in danger, but they do it because it's right. I admire them." Zett Takajo
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.

"Yeah, I do. Everyone in Pandora. Can't name them all, but there's Zelda and Enoch. And Tetra, too. She's a good kid." Neal Cassidy
"Enoch's my hero too! And so's Luci and Rick and you and Zett and Rabbit and Dia and..Lancelot and Kariya and a lot of other people!
Enoch and Luci are my honorary uncles! Enoch was so nice that God let him go to Heaven while he was alive! He's super smart and strong and he can go boing, boing! He's a really good person, and I'm gonna help him learn how to swim! He's smart, but he still doesn't know how! Oh! And Enoch made me Little Yoba too!" Yotsuba
Zelda (5)
"Yeah, I do. Everyone in Pandora. Can't name them all, but there's Zelda and Enoch. And Tetra, too. She's a good kid."
Of course, there is also Princess Zelda. It is not my place to make explicit her struggles, but it is obvious that the burden that has been placed upon her shoulders is a great one. She has handled everything with the utmost grace and dignity, even when what needed to be done wasn't the most pleasant of tasks. She has come well into her royal bloodline and deserves to be remembered as a hero." England (anon)
"Zelda too! She's a princess but she's been looking out for me and a bunch of other people" Tetra
"Princess Zelda has endured this tower longer than I have, and she is stronger than I am despite this. She keeps calm under pressure and can call an argument to end. She is an admirable person and what royalty is meant to be." Enoch
"Zelda- For only bending, never breaking." Reno (anon)
Ruler (3)
"Ruler's kind of pretty awesome and kicks ass! She's definitely a hero type." Ryuunosuke (anon)
"While speaking of women of their countries, I would also like to give mention to Ruler. She is not mine to speak of; completely the opposite, if I'm to be honest. But her devotion to her nation is not something I can overlook. She deserves to be remembered as a hero for what she has done." England (anon)
"The greatest of all the heroes in the Tower is the beautiful, elegant, kind, good, wise, and blessed Jeanne d'Arc. She is also known as Joan of Arc, I have heard, and she is a saint! God himself spoke to her, and the angels, for her goodness so inspired them. Oh gracious, dear, and matchless Jeanne!
Though she was only a simple peasant girl, she joined the court of the king of France and fought to save her people from the cruel, oppressive English who had taken our lands. Not even the king knew what to do, but she showed him the way. She dressed like a boy and she took up arms, and she was the most beautiful sight anyone had ever seen. No one who saw her ever forgot the sight of her, proud and glowing, like an angel herself! She shone with the light of Heaven. She rode out into battle, yet she did no one harm! She was wounded, but she carried on! She is a noble, brave, fearless, soul, but gentle. She led the knights on to victory, and she freed the city of Orléans from its chains. The people there adore her for it. She is their savior! She gave all men courage in a dark time. Never before was there a woman like Jeanne d'Arc, and there never will be again. She gives me hope, even now.
Sadly, Jeanne was captured by the English and burned to death! They hated and feared her, so they called her a witch! There was no act on earth more heartless and cruel. But here in the Tower, she lives again, thanks in part to her faithful knight Gilles de Rais. She is full of love and is merciful to all men, even the most vile, unforgivable of criminals." Caster
Saber of White (3)
"But for the best hero, I would say people like Diarmuid and the White Saber and Lancelot.
Saber of White because she's an inspiration to Diarmuid. I knew Saber of Black better, so I think Saber of White might be stuffier. But anyone who can impress Diarmuid with their honor can't be too bad." Lancer (Cu)
"Saber of white. Not so much for what she did here, but rather, what she sacrificed for her kingdom back home. The isle of Albion owes her a great deal." Garviel Loken (anon)
"There is one here Called Saber of White, but whom I knew in Life by another name. She has been both King and Slave. For all that has passed, she is a Hero still, unbowed before Time itself." Lancelot du Lac
Cu Chulainn (3)
"If you say strongest hero, I might have to say myself." Lancer (Cu)
"It's hard. A lot of people here in the tower are pretty great like heroes.
I think if I had to name just a few people, I think the best heroes I know are the two puppy brothers. I guess one is supposed to be a hound and the other a puppy. Maybe? One of them is named Lancer and the other one is his brother. They're really kind and strong at the same time. And they bring people together and make them feel welcome. I think that last part's really important for a hero." Urotsuki (anon)
"My brother, Cu Chulainn, has also suffered great loss. His loyalty means more than anything to him and yet, those who he has sworn himself to have been torn away from him time and time again by this place. Still, he moves forward. Still, he believes. Still, he hopes anew. He does not let loss cripple him. Instead, he reaches out so that others are not alone when that loss finds them. He reaches out to support those who are unsure. He reaches out to guide those who have lost their way.
He reaches out so none must face this fight alone." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
Lucifel (3)
"Enoch's my hero too! And so's Luci and Rick and you and Zett and Rabbit and Dia and..Lancelot and Kariya and a lot of other people.
Enoch and Luci are my honorary uncles! And Luci's an Angel that was helping Enoch out back in their world! He's super fashanable, and he's good at giving hugs, and I get to ride on him, and he tells me a lot of great stories, and we're gonna cook together someday! And he's a support and told me that I could be a good one too, since I gave the best hugs! He's smarter than Enoch too and tried to help me when Daddy and Jumbo killed me!" Yotsuba
"My uncles Enoch and Lucifel work the hardest out of anybody to protect people and fix the tower. Not everybody appreciates it, and they put themselves in danger, but they do it because it's right. I admire them." Zett Takajo
"Of course, the first hero that comes to mind is Lucifel. He has been a hero to me for as long as I can remember. In my darkest moments, he was there for guidance, and when I might have died he has saved my life. He's there to comfort me when he cannot help and continues to lend me strength. I am happy to have him by my side." Enoch
Reno (3)
"My friend, Reno, fights every day for the bonds he was told he should never form here. For the faces that mean more to him than anything else, but not only for them, for everyone in the Tower. He takes the strength he has found in those bonds, and he makes it so that others might know that strength as well.
His actions bring us all together." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
"When told to run, Reno did not, instead attempting to protect another from a danger far stronger than himself. Even now, he focuses on helping others here." Enoch
"I owe Reno everything. He taught me and others how to fight, how to survive. If it was not for him many peoples lives would be even more miserable here. He is the bravest person I know and he more than qualifies to be one of the greatest heroes here." Shion
April Sinclair (2)
"April Sinclair is a hero because she's brave and keeps her spirits up even when tough things are going on around her, and she makes other people happy too." Aleph Sinclair
"I'm not sure what kind of a man I'd be without writing of April Sinclair. She comes from a world where her nation is in ruin. However, before she came here, she was working hard to restore it. It is no small task, rebuilding a civilisation from ash and dust without losing yourself in the process. She is a true woman of her country." England (anon)
Lancelot du Lac (2)
"But for the best hero, I would say people like Diarmuid and the White Saber and Lancelot.
Lancelot is a great knight too. He was one of the best knights in his own time. Also, he's a good friend." Lancer (Cu)
Ryoji Mochizuki (2)
"I think almost everyone here is a hero in their own way! :) Like Ryoji, and Kachessa, and lots of people too." V/V
"My son, Ryoji, fights a darkness he did not wish for, mourns what he cannot control, craves what all should have, and fights so that he never loses what was given to him. He came to this place scared of what he would be and afraid of what others would think. Now he has pride in himself and is not so afraid to face that future when it comes.
He fights for all the things he was never meant to have and now never wishes to lose." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
Patrick Dawn (2)
"I'd have to say that some good heroes in the tower are Rick Dawn and this woman named Merciless.
Rick can turn into all these different kinds of animals to do stuff. He's really nice and will always help you out if you need it. He's one of the best people in the tower in my opinion." Veronica Madaraki
"Rick slept with Yotsuba and helped her make a shirt, and he's really nice and cool, 'cause he can transform into monsters and kitties! He's really soft and squishy too! I like him! " Yotsuba
Romeo (2)
"Truthfully, Romeo, I'd like you to also include yourself in this book. There is something to be said for wishing to pay respect to every soul lost from this tower, and having the inspiration to compile the memoir. Thank you for your efforts." England (anon)
"Enoch's my hero too! And so's Luci and Rick and you and Zett and Rabbit and Dia and..Lancelot and Kariya and a lot of other people!"
Kariya Matou (2)
"And Kariya's really nice, even though he's busy, and he helped Yotsuba out when the glamor was off, and he said that he liked robots too!"
"Triumph is not the only Path to Heroism-- better still is to never cease Battle, even when the Battle seems its most Hopeless. Perseverance in the face of great Odds is the mark of a Hero. Kariya Matou is such a one." Lancelot du Lac
Elena (2)
"Elena- Who has an inner strength that's still unbroken." Reno (anon)
"Elena is not afraid of her feelings, even when they can be twisted away from her. She is very strong." Shion
England (2)
"And England too! Zelda really looks up to him and princesses don't look up to people often." Tetra
"England tries to help people all the time, and is always kind to children and those who can't fight." Taiki
The Links (2)
"I think all the Link's were the greatest heroes. They were all chosen by the Goddesses, which is a huge honor and could wield the Master Sword. They were all kind of like family and they protected us and everyone else.
Especially my Link. He was just a kid, a little kid from a little island and he went out into the world to save me and his little sister and then he helped people here." Tetra
"There was a Link that came and went from this place a few times. He was rather quiet, but talented with a bow. More than once, he came to my aid in dire times, though I had never done anything to merit the kindness. He was a true hero, even though he did not see himself as such." England (anon)
Sayaka (2)
"There was a young girl named Sayaka Miki. She was in our group for that large competition over a year ago now. Perhaps she is not the most conventional of heroes, but her unfaltering defiance in the face of what the administrators have done to us makes her a hero in my eyes." England (anon)
"Sayaka was very kind, even when really bad things happened she always tried to help." Taiki
Dax (2)
"Dax- With the courage to face Ruana." Reno (anon)
"And, of course, let us never forget Dax, who gave his life for us so that we might have truth and freedom."
Sealand
"Sealand is a hero because he's very brave and full of energy, and even though he's still in training, I know he's going to be the best at defending people when he has a little more practice." Aleph Sinclair
Kachessa Crim
"I think almost everyone here is a hero in their own way! :) Like Ryoji, and Kachessa, and lots of people too." V/V
Archer
"But Archer says that he's the King of Heroes, so does that make him the best? I don't know, but he's very smart and cool." V/V
Veronica Madaraki
"I guess I could be called a hero too. I'm a bodyguard that protects people from bad things, and I saved a few lives in my time here." Veronica Madaraki
Shion
"Shion- Even though he doesn't know it yet, he's already someone that can protect us." Reno (anon)
Xion
"Xion- Even though she's growing up here, she still has a pure heart." Reno (anon)
"My sister Xion, because she never gives up and has so much strength. Even when she is terrified she keeps fighting, and keeps me fighting too." Shion
Riku
"Riku- For the truth." Reno (anon)
America (Amelia)
"On that note, I think it's only proper that I mention the other Americas I've met; they were women, and they went by the name Amelia. I didn't know either of them nearly as well, but I'm confident that they were much the same in their strength and determination." England (anon)
Zett Takajo
"And Zett's Yotsuba's other honorary big brother! He's a Demon, but he's nice! He doesn't eat souls, so don't hurt him, okay?! I'll be super mad if you do! He can fly around, and he's super old like Enoch, even though they don't look it, and he played with me and taught me about computers! He's a good big brother!" Yotsuba
Waver Velvet
"My partner, Waver Velvet, has lost all that meant anything to him more than once and still fights on. He has hidden and sacrificed his true self so that he might fight at full power to achieve a goal none with will thank him for even as it saves their lives. He has accepted a failed knight heart and soul and given him his hope back. He has stood against those more powerful than him and not blinked. He has taken hold of his potential and made himself strong when others made a mockery of him.
He passes all that he has learned onto the future, so that those who listen might also fulfill their potential no matter what others think of them." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
Suzaku Kururugi
"My other brother, Suzaku, fights many demons within himself. He hardly knows how to continue on sometimes, and yet he still is driven to protect, driven to help, driven to fight for a better future. It would be easy to fall into himself and his pain, but he does not. He still continues forward and will always do so until the day he finally finds that future he so yearns for.
His steps pave the way so that those who follow will not have to suffer as he did." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
Quark
"Quark is such a small child, yet he always reaches out to comfort others, even though I imagine he is very scared in this place himself. He may not be a great warrior, and for a man he is very small indeed but I would call him a hero."
Minato Arisato
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.
But many still remain, to struggling against the bullies in charge of this place. I know a few personally and I knew a few who are still gone. Minato Arisato, Diarmuid, Enoch, Doctor Brown, Aleph, Naoya Toudou, Labrys, Risette. . .
I don't think of any of them as the "best hero" but I do believe they are heroes all the same, due to a common quality they all share. Because they decided to fight back against a force with superior power and control. Injustice in the system is stronger than yourself, and yet they continued onward anyhow. They did not give up.
Bad things happened and they rose above them. They are not perfect or without sadness, but they resist their oppressors with all their might.
They want change in a positive direction, to improve our situation for the better even when it seems an impossible task. They want to try.
That is what makes them heroes, Romeo." Hidetoshi (anon)
Revolver Ocelot
"Another hero of darkness, Ocelot never fails to fight against the administrators. She trains others and encourages them to use their own strength. She never turns away from a challenge and never looks down on those not so powerful as her." Nesir Aeser (anon)
Doctor Emmett L Brown
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.
But many still remain, to struggling against the bullies in charge of this place. I know a few personally and I knew a few who are still gone. Minato Arisato, Diarmuid, Enoch, Doctor Brown, Aleph, Naoya Toudou, Labrys, Risette. . .

That is what makes them heroes, Romeo." Hidetoshi (anon)
Ganondorf Dragmire
"There is a hero in this tower, though he is not a hero of light like the rest of the named you will have inevitably received. Instead he is a hero of darkness, but still a hero and still worthy of remembering.
He works tirelessly to free us from this prison and never backs down in face of danger and never goes against his ideals. That is what makes a true hero, of light or darkness." Nesir Aeser (anon)
Aleph Sinclair
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.
But many still remain, to struggling against the bullies in charge of this place. I know a few personally and I knew a few who are still gone. Minato Arisato, Diarmuid, Enoch, Doctor Brown, Aleph, Naoya Toudou, Labrys, Risette. . .

Zoe Gallais
"Zoe Gallais is amazingly strong, and never gives up or lets anyone push her around. She's smart, and like a real hero knows what the most important things are that she needs to work for." Zett Takajo
Naoya Toudou
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.
But many still remain, to struggling against the bullies in charge of this place. I know a few personally and I knew a few who are still gone. Minato Arisato, Diarmuid, Enoch, Doctor Brown, Aleph, Naoya Toudou, Labrys, Risette. . .

Sora
"Sora saved the worlds. Doesn't remember it, but what's a few memory issues compared to that? He also managed to change someone who didn't have a heart to change. Overall, pretty impressive kid." Axel
Sephiroth
Heroes stick to their ideals and beliefs whatever is done to them, whatever indignities they may face. Someone who I believe embodies this is Sephiroth. In this manner, I would call him a hero. Nesir Aeser (anon)
Colette Brunel
"I found a letter in my mailbox asking for heroes that I know here in the Tower, and they are Colette Brunel and Zelos Wilder. Both risked their lives to save two worlds but that's not why I consider them heroes.
Colette is a gentle soul who, although she may not look like it, has a strength greater than the most muscle-bound man. Once she makes up her mind about something, it's very hard to have her change it, and she never looks for the bad in others--only the good, which may help people see that their are more similarities than differences between people." Sheena Fujibayashi.
"There is a girl named Colette, she saved someone's life because she was quick and smart. That's the kind of thing that makes heroes" Capell
Zelos Wilder
"I found a letter in my mailbox asking for heroes that I know here in the Tower, and they are Colette Brunel and Zelos Wilder. Both risked their lives to save two worlds but that's not why I consider them heroes.
Zelos is a protector of children--whether he admits it willingly or not. And he's very protective of his sister. While many people who know him might think he's a little over-protective of her, to me, it's a sign that he's willing to protect others over himself.
PS: Please don't tell Zelos I said any of that. Thanks!" Sheena Fujibayashi.
Tetra
"Yeah, I do. Everyone in Pandora. Can't name them all, but there's Zelda and Enoch. And Tetra, too. She's a good kid." Neal Cassidy
Labrys
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.
But many still remain, to struggling against the bullies in charge of this place. I know a few personally and I knew a few who are still gone. Minato Arisato, Diarmuid, Enoch, Doctor Brown, Aleph, Naoya Toudou, Labrys, Risette. . .

Allelujah Haptism
"I believe Allelujah was a hero because he had to fight to be one, to fight against his self, and though he didn't always win I believe he never stopped trying" Suzaku Kururugi
Merciless
"I'd have to say that some good heroes in the tower are Rick Dawn and this woman named Merciless.
And Merciless was a fighter from a very bad world. She kept going and never gave up, and even though she's gone, she's still a hero in my book." Veronica Madaraki
Risette
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.
But many still remain, to struggling against the bullies in charge of this place. I know a few personally and I knew a few who are still gone. Minato Arisato, Diarmuid, Enoch, Doctor Brown, Aleph, Naoya Toudou, Labrys, Risette. . .
I don't think of any of them as the "best hero" but I do believe they are heroes all the same, due to a common quality they all share. Because they decided to fight back against a force with superior power and control. Injustice in the system is stronger than yourself, and yet they continued onward anyhow. They did not give up.
Bad things happened and they rose above them. They are not perfect or without sadness, but they resist their oppressors with all their might.
They want change in a positive direction, to improve our situation for the better even when it seems an impossible task. They want to try.
That is what makes them heroes, Romeo." Hidetoshi (anon)
Tseng
"Tseng- Our brother in arms that made sure we always came back from the mission." Reno (anon)
Rude

Zack
"Zack- For fighting to his last breath." Reno (anon)
Cloud
"Cloud- For giving us another chance." Reno (anon)
Reno (Rusty)
"Rusty- for being the hero that I'll never be."
Eridan Ampora
"They hurt Eridan so much and though he got angry and violent he was always very nice and was able to be kind even when he was hurting and mad. I think that is heroic" Taiki
Nunnally vi Britannia
"Nunnally was kind before she was anything else. She is perhaps a strange sort of hero but she always tried to do the right thing, and sometimes that can be very hard to do.
Rabbit
"Enoch's my hero too! And so's Luci and Rick and you and Zett and Rabbit and Dia and..Lancelot and Kariya and a lot of other people!
Rabbit was my first honorary big brother! He was a super awesome robot, and he promised to protect me and sang a lot of cool songs and said that I could be in his band with his brothers when I grew up! He's back home now..but he really liked his Daddy and his brothers too!" Yotsuba
Spine
"Spine was super nice! He's my hero too!" Yotsuba
Signless
"Signless was a troll who went against everything he had been taught in order to do the right thing. He fought here as well, against the injustices that he saw. He deserves not to be forgotten." Suzaku Kururugi
Legolas
Legolas is an elf from my world and a great hero, our world would be lost without him. Samwise Gamgee
Aradia Megido
"A young troll I met once, who met death with a dignity that many of those who claim to be great heroes would never manage. Her ability to endure makes her a hero" Suzaku Kururugi
Frodo Baggins
Frodo Baggins saved the world, even if it ended afterwards. He's a true hero though, the kind that stories are made out of. Samwise Gamgee
America (Adult)
"I recall that you have been here quite a long time, Romeo. Perhaps you knew another I wish to speak of. His name is America, just the same as the little America that's with us now. I'm not certain how long the big America was here; he arrived before I did, it seemed. He's been gone for a while now, but I know that if he were here, he would be doing everything within his stupid excess of power to save everyone. And I also know he would appreciate being recorded as a hero in any regard." England (anon)
Lord Gyousou
"Lord Gyousou is my king, sometimes heroes don't just have to be big and strong, they have to be kind and clever as well. Lord Gyousou is all those things... and when he was here he did his best to help everyone..." Taiki
Aragorn
"One of the greatest warriors of my world, I do not know if he were ever here but if he was, I am sure he would have fought hard to protect everyone." Samewise Gamzee
Psiioniic
Even though Psi had every reason to be afraid he never gave up, no matter what happened he kept fighting, both physically and in his mind. His attempts at changing his world may have failed but it made him no less of a hero." Suzaku Kururgi
Rat
"Rat was only here for a short time, but I knew him at home and his ability to survive made him a hero. He saved my life." Shion
Gandalf
"Gandalf were here long before I came, and disappeared not long after I arrived but I knew him from home and he was one of the greatest heroes, I know that he never stopped trying to put things right here." Samwise Gamgee
Felix
"There was a man named Felix in the Tower who came here about the same time I did, but he's gone now. I think he's a hero, though. He was always there for people when they needed him most, and back home, he gave up everything he had in order to save the world... even though there were people who didn't understand what he was doing and tried to stop him, even though people treated him badly, he always did his best." Sheba
Jenna
"His sister, Jenna, was a hero too. She didn't understand what he was doing at first, but as soon as she did, she started to help him. She's one of the strongest people I've ever met, and she was also here for a few months, but... she's gone now, too." Sheba
Oz
"There was also a boy about my age named Oz who was only here for a short time. I don't know what he did in his world, but when he was here, he was always making people smile. It takes a special type of strength to keep smiling even in a place like this, so I'd say he's a hero, too."
Darres
"I think Darres and Duzell are huge heroes. Darres always tries to help everyone and he has a huge heart. There's nothing wrong with that." Ishtar
Duzell
"I think Darres and Duzell are huge heroes. Duzell is a little more stand offish but he has a good intentions and he's kind to those he cares about." Ishtar
Cissnei
"Cissnei- Being everything that we should have been and still found room to grow, for saving an idiot from his own mistakes." Reno (anon)
Veld
"Veld- A man that treated us like family even when we didn't have any." Reno (anon)
Boromir
"Boromir was someone who made mistakes, but he died to protect my friends and I believe him a hero" Samwise Gamgee
Peregrin Took
"Pippin was another from home and I hear that he fought in a real battle whilst we were parted. I think he would like to be known as a hero" Samwise Gamgee
Meriadoc Brandybuck
"Another hobbit from home, another who I would call a hero."
Shinji (Evangelion)
"I know this one! I'd say my big brother Shinji! He's very smart and very brave, and he's the best robot pilot! He was the first one to fight against ADAM, something even I couldn't do. He always fights to protect others. And he's kicked reason to the curb more times than I can count!
Very handsome, to boot" Rei
Gimli
"Gimli is someone else without whom our world would be lost entirely." Samwise Gamgee
Yotsuba's Daddy
"Daddy's soul is here, even if it is enchanted, so I'm gonna say he's my best hero! I dunno what a hero is though..a really brave person, right?! That's what Yotsuba thinks! Daddy's curry is the best, and he was super fun and nice and he was really smart, even if he was useless sometimes! I'm being brave for him and everyone else in the Tower, so he's my best hero!" Yotsuba
Jumbo
"Jumbo's soul is here too, so I'm gonna say that he's my hero too! He played with Yotsuba a whoole lot and helped out Daddy, and he's reallly big! That's why he's Jumbo!" Yotsuba
Jules Verne
You ask for the best hero I know and I can think of none other than Jules Verne!
He is probably not a hero in the conventional sense of the term, but he certainly is one in that he has given a dream to countless people and led them to believe they could accomplish fantastic things! He is the favorite author of both myself and my wife. There is a lot that I could say about his stories, but I unfortunately do not have enough time to write everything!
If they have his books in the library, I can only advise you to read them!" Doctor Emmett L. Brown
A Rose (unnamed hero)
"There is a man on my world, who has worked all his life to please another.
He has never given up, never hesitated. Nobody sings his praises. Nobody likes being around him.
But he keeps trying.
It doesn't matter what happens to him. It doesn't matter what fate awaits him. He doesn't understand the idea of giving up. Not about this precious goal of his.
He prefers to be known as a rose, so that is all the name I will give him.
He will not be remembered, except perhaps by me.
He is one of the greatest heros my world has ever seen, and none will ever know it." Lorelei
"I don't have any "hero" in the tower. I have friends but I don't think I could pick one out as a hero. I think everyone in this tower who doesn't give up are heroes in their own special ways! Anyone who fight to see their world restored and the people they love in fact." Doctor Emmett L. Brown
"Some of the greatest heroes in this Tower are the ones who haven't done anything dazzling and famous. Instead, they've done small, necessary things to make this place into somewhere that people can really live together — like the person who knitted the things I've left you and asked me to make sure they get to children, or the people who devote themselves to quietly protecting others who can't protect themselves. Maybe their efforts are more modest, but that doesn't make them any less important or deserving of praise!
I won't mention any names, because most of those people are the kind that don't want thanks or attention for what they've done, but please make note of how important they are somewhere, okay?" Claudia Kotomine
"It would be impossible to pick just a handful of people out of everyone with us - and everyone who was here before us. Despite loss, dissension, pain and fear...no matter what we hope to do when we get back...we're all fighting for the same thing, and we're all fighting together. And the fact that we can overcome everything that's happened here...I think that's more wonderful than words." Patrick Dawn
"I think almost everyone here is a hero in their own way! :)" V/V
"Romeo, I could keep going. I alone could probably fill your book for you because of one simple fact. When it comes down it it, everyone in this Tower is a hero. Not all of them seem like it. Not all of them want the title, but all of them, as some point or another, have found themselves helping someone else in this fight against the Administrators. Helping them, when they did not need to. Helping them, when someone else might have walked away.
All light has shadow and all shadow has light. The Administrators cast a dark shadow, and we--all of us--are the light." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
"Anyone who fights against all odds, who stands up for what is right even if staying silent is easier. They are the true heroes and everyone here fulfills those criteria" Shion
Members of Pandora
"They're brave. It takes a brave person to go up against a force like the administrators, and it takes brave people to follow them.
I don't know who founded Pandora, but it doesn't really matter. They're trying to save all of us. Not that there's anything wrong with the people who don't know how to, but Pandora... I think they'll be able to accomplish what they've set out to do." Neal Cassidy
Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (9)
"Within this tower are a number of heroes both mythological and otherwise. While I'm not qualified to speak on all of them, there's one I know as well as I know myself. I learned years ago that a hero need not be flawless; quite the opposite. A flawless hero would know nothing of loss, failure, or pain, and therefore would have no concept of the stakes for which they fight.
Diarmuid Ua Duibhne has known all three of those, and known them well. I think that to be a contributing factor in his constant (quite literally to a fault) insistence upon placing others before himself. To spare others from pain, Diarmuid would readily fight and die without hesitation. Some might call that level of dedication bordering on self-destruction, and I would be inclined to agree. But even so, that genuine concern and kindness is something to truly admire.
To be human is to possess flaws and imperfections: fear, hesitation, self-interest, even hatred. Yet coupled with humanity comes empathy, and it is that which I think makes one capable of being a hero--one who can act in the protection and best interest of others. Ask me for a hero of the highest integrity and kindness humanly possible, and without doubt or hesitation I would name Diarmuid above all others.
Allow me to being this long-winded and slightly biased response to a close. A true hero should be in some measure flawed; otherwise they may never be able to understand those they mean to protect. Without loss and pain, victory has no meaning. All of us here would do well to remember that from time to time." Waver (anon)
"Diarmuid Ua Duibhne is a hero because he's a good knight who protects people and he fights monsters really well." Aleph Sinclair
Diarmuid always helps others. I never see him when he is not helping, or training, or distributing weapons. His kindness and dedication make him a hero." Shion
"But for the best hero, I would say people like Diarmuid and the White Saber and Lancelot.
Diarmuid because he's a gentle and caring big brother. He's always ready to take responsibility for protecting others. And he's strong too. You should see him dual wield." Lancer (Cu)
"I would say that Diarmuid is one of the greatest hero, for he always puts others before himself. Be it their happiness or safety, he does not hesitate to give his life for others and has proven this in his past.
He also teaches others and helps them understand what a hero is to be." Suzaku Kururugi
"It's hard. A lot of people here in the tower are pretty great like heroes.
I think if I had to name just a few people, I think the best heroes I know are the two puppy brothers. I guess one is supposed to be a hound and the other a puppy. Maybe? One of them is named Lancer and the other one is his brother. They're really kind and strong at the same time. And they bring people together and make them feel welcome. I think that last part's really important for a hero." Urotsuki (anon)
"Dia's a good person too! He saved me from a monster and helped me when the bad boy with green hair burned me and told me how I could be a better support! We ate lots of cake at his and his sons birthday, and he told me what brave was and what knights were! He plays with me a lot too, and we're gonna sing Rabbit's songs with me too! He made me little Rab too, and he and Raphael gave me Juralumin!" Yotsuba
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.
But many still remain, to struggling against the bullies in charge of this place. I know a few personally and I knew a few who are still gone. Minato Arisato, Diarmuid, Enoch, Doctor Brown, Aleph, Naoya Toudou, Labrys, Risette. . .
I don't think of any of them as the "best hero" but I do believe they are heroes all the same, due to a common quality they all share. Because they decided to fight back against a force with superior power and control. Injustice in the system is stronger than yourself, and yet they continued onward anyhow. They did not give up.
Bad things happened and they rose above them. They are not perfect or without sadness, but they resist their oppressors with all their might.
They want change in a positive direction, to improve our situation for the better even when it seems an impossible task. They want to try.
That is what makes them heroes, Romeo." Hidetoshi (anon)
"Diarmuid - Because a hero isn't perfect." Reno (anon)
Enoch (7)
"Enoch is a hero because he's a great leader and he cares about everyone, and he's strong and capable." Aleph Sinclair
"Enoch is always kind and nice to everyone, he works really hard to try and stop the administrators, I think he is a hero Taiki
"And then there's Enoch! He's always working to help others, whether by protecting them or making them cloaks. And he's got a cool weapon." Lancer (Cu)
"My uncles Enoch and Lucifel work the hardest out of anybody to protect people and fix the tower. Not everybody appreciates it, and they put themselves in danger, but they do it because it's right. I admire them." Zett Takajo
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.

"Yeah, I do. Everyone in Pandora. Can't name them all, but there's Zelda and Enoch. And Tetra, too. She's a good kid." Neal Cassidy
"Enoch's my hero too! And so's Luci and Rick and you and Zett and Rabbit and Dia and..Lancelot and Kariya and a lot of other people!
Enoch and Luci are my honorary uncles! Enoch was so nice that God let him go to Heaven while he was alive! He's super smart and strong and he can go boing, boing! He's a really good person, and I'm gonna help him learn how to swim! He's smart, but he still doesn't know how! Oh! And Enoch made me Little Yoba too!" Yotsuba
Zelda (5)
"Yeah, I do. Everyone in Pandora. Can't name them all, but there's Zelda and Enoch. And Tetra, too. She's a good kid."
Of course, there is also Princess Zelda. It is not my place to make explicit her struggles, but it is obvious that the burden that has been placed upon her shoulders is a great one. She has handled everything with the utmost grace and dignity, even when what needed to be done wasn't the most pleasant of tasks. She has come well into her royal bloodline and deserves to be remembered as a hero." England (anon)
"Zelda too! She's a princess but she's been looking out for me and a bunch of other people" Tetra
"Princess Zelda has endured this tower longer than I have, and she is stronger than I am despite this. She keeps calm under pressure and can call an argument to end. She is an admirable person and what royalty is meant to be." Enoch
"Zelda- For only bending, never breaking." Reno (anon)
Ruler (3)
"Ruler's kind of pretty awesome and kicks ass! She's definitely a hero type." Ryuunosuke (anon)
"While speaking of women of their countries, I would also like to give mention to Ruler. She is not mine to speak of; completely the opposite, if I'm to be honest. But her devotion to her nation is not something I can overlook. She deserves to be remembered as a hero for what she has done." England (anon)
"The greatest of all the heroes in the Tower is the beautiful, elegant, kind, good, wise, and blessed Jeanne d'Arc. She is also known as Joan of Arc, I have heard, and she is a saint! God himself spoke to her, and the angels, for her goodness so inspired them. Oh gracious, dear, and matchless Jeanne!
Though she was only a simple peasant girl, she joined the court of the king of France and fought to save her people from the cruel, oppressive English who had taken our lands. Not even the king knew what to do, but she showed him the way. She dressed like a boy and she took up arms, and she was the most beautiful sight anyone had ever seen. No one who saw her ever forgot the sight of her, proud and glowing, like an angel herself! She shone with the light of Heaven. She rode out into battle, yet she did no one harm! She was wounded, but she carried on! She is a noble, brave, fearless, soul, but gentle. She led the knights on to victory, and she freed the city of Orléans from its chains. The people there adore her for it. She is their savior! She gave all men courage in a dark time. Never before was there a woman like Jeanne d'Arc, and there never will be again. She gives me hope, even now.
Sadly, Jeanne was captured by the English and burned to death! They hated and feared her, so they called her a witch! There was no act on earth more heartless and cruel. But here in the Tower, she lives again, thanks in part to her faithful knight Gilles de Rais. She is full of love and is merciful to all men, even the most vile, unforgivable of criminals." Caster
Saber of White (3)
"But for the best hero, I would say people like Diarmuid and the White Saber and Lancelot.
Saber of White because she's an inspiration to Diarmuid. I knew Saber of Black better, so I think Saber of White might be stuffier. But anyone who can impress Diarmuid with their honor can't be too bad." Lancer (Cu)
"Saber of white. Not so much for what she did here, but rather, what she sacrificed for her kingdom back home. The isle of Albion owes her a great deal." Garviel Loken (anon)
"There is one here Called Saber of White, but whom I knew in Life by another name. She has been both King and Slave. For all that has passed, she is a Hero still, unbowed before Time itself." Lancelot du Lac
Cu Chulainn (3)
"If you say strongest hero, I might have to say myself." Lancer (Cu)
"It's hard. A lot of people here in the tower are pretty great like heroes.
I think if I had to name just a few people, I think the best heroes I know are the two puppy brothers. I guess one is supposed to be a hound and the other a puppy. Maybe? One of them is named Lancer and the other one is his brother. They're really kind and strong at the same time. And they bring people together and make them feel welcome. I think that last part's really important for a hero." Urotsuki (anon)
"My brother, Cu Chulainn, has also suffered great loss. His loyalty means more than anything to him and yet, those who he has sworn himself to have been torn away from him time and time again by this place. Still, he moves forward. Still, he believes. Still, he hopes anew. He does not let loss cripple him. Instead, he reaches out so that others are not alone when that loss finds them. He reaches out to support those who are unsure. He reaches out to guide those who have lost their way.
He reaches out so none must face this fight alone." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
Lucifel (3)
"Enoch's my hero too! And so's Luci and Rick and you and Zett and Rabbit and Dia and..Lancelot and Kariya and a lot of other people.
Enoch and Luci are my honorary uncles! And Luci's an Angel that was helping Enoch out back in their world! He's super fashanable, and he's good at giving hugs, and I get to ride on him, and he tells me a lot of great stories, and we're gonna cook together someday! And he's a support and told me that I could be a good one too, since I gave the best hugs! He's smarter than Enoch too and tried to help me when Daddy and Jumbo killed me!" Yotsuba
"My uncles Enoch and Lucifel work the hardest out of anybody to protect people and fix the tower. Not everybody appreciates it, and they put themselves in danger, but they do it because it's right. I admire them." Zett Takajo
"Of course, the first hero that comes to mind is Lucifel. He has been a hero to me for as long as I can remember. In my darkest moments, he was there for guidance, and when I might have died he has saved my life. He's there to comfort me when he cannot help and continues to lend me strength. I am happy to have him by my side." Enoch
Reno (3)
"My friend, Reno, fights every day for the bonds he was told he should never form here. For the faces that mean more to him than anything else, but not only for them, for everyone in the Tower. He takes the strength he has found in those bonds, and he makes it so that others might know that strength as well.
His actions bring us all together." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
"When told to run, Reno did not, instead attempting to protect another from a danger far stronger than himself. Even now, he focuses on helping others here." Enoch
"I owe Reno everything. He taught me and others how to fight, how to survive. If it was not for him many peoples lives would be even more miserable here. He is the bravest person I know and he more than qualifies to be one of the greatest heroes here." Shion
April Sinclair (2)
"April Sinclair is a hero because she's brave and keeps her spirits up even when tough things are going on around her, and she makes other people happy too." Aleph Sinclair
"I'm not sure what kind of a man I'd be without writing of April Sinclair. She comes from a world where her nation is in ruin. However, before she came here, she was working hard to restore it. It is no small task, rebuilding a civilisation from ash and dust without losing yourself in the process. She is a true woman of her country." England (anon)
Lancelot du Lac (2)
"But for the best hero, I would say people like Diarmuid and the White Saber and Lancelot.
Lancelot is a great knight too. He was one of the best knights in his own time. Also, he's a good friend." Lancer (Cu)
Ryoji Mochizuki (2)
"I think almost everyone here is a hero in their own way! :) Like Ryoji, and Kachessa, and lots of people too." V/V
"My son, Ryoji, fights a darkness he did not wish for, mourns what he cannot control, craves what all should have, and fights so that he never loses what was given to him. He came to this place scared of what he would be and afraid of what others would think. Now he has pride in himself and is not so afraid to face that future when it comes.
He fights for all the things he was never meant to have and now never wishes to lose." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
Patrick Dawn (2)
"I'd have to say that some good heroes in the tower are Rick Dawn and this woman named Merciless.
Rick can turn into all these different kinds of animals to do stuff. He's really nice and will always help you out if you need it. He's one of the best people in the tower in my opinion." Veronica Madaraki
"Rick slept with Yotsuba and helped her make a shirt, and he's really nice and cool, 'cause he can transform into monsters and kitties! He's really soft and squishy too! I like him! " Yotsuba
Romeo (2)
"Truthfully, Romeo, I'd like you to also include yourself in this book. There is something to be said for wishing to pay respect to every soul lost from this tower, and having the inspiration to compile the memoir. Thank you for your efforts." England (anon)
"Enoch's my hero too! And so's Luci and Rick and you and Zett and Rabbit and Dia and..Lancelot and Kariya and a lot of other people!"
Kariya Matou (2)
"And Kariya's really nice, even though he's busy, and he helped Yotsuba out when the glamor was off, and he said that he liked robots too!"
"Triumph is not the only Path to Heroism-- better still is to never cease Battle, even when the Battle seems its most Hopeless. Perseverance in the face of great Odds is the mark of a Hero. Kariya Matou is such a one." Lancelot du Lac
Elena (2)
"Elena- Who has an inner strength that's still unbroken." Reno (anon)
"Elena is not afraid of her feelings, even when they can be twisted away from her. She is very strong." Shion
England (2)
"And England too! Zelda really looks up to him and princesses don't look up to people often." Tetra
"England tries to help people all the time, and is always kind to children and those who can't fight." Taiki
The Links (2)
"I think all the Link's were the greatest heroes. They were all chosen by the Goddesses, which is a huge honor and could wield the Master Sword. They were all kind of like family and they protected us and everyone else.
Especially my Link. He was just a kid, a little kid from a little island and he went out into the world to save me and his little sister and then he helped people here." Tetra
"There was a Link that came and went from this place a few times. He was rather quiet, but talented with a bow. More than once, he came to my aid in dire times, though I had never done anything to merit the kindness. He was a true hero, even though he did not see himself as such." England (anon)
Sayaka (2)
"There was a young girl named Sayaka Miki. She was in our group for that large competition over a year ago now. Perhaps she is not the most conventional of heroes, but her unfaltering defiance in the face of what the administrators have done to us makes her a hero in my eyes." England (anon)
"Sayaka was very kind, even when really bad things happened she always tried to help." Taiki
Dax (2)
"Dax- With the courage to face Ruana." Reno (anon)
"And, of course, let us never forget Dax, who gave his life for us so that we might have truth and freedom."
Sealand
"Sealand is a hero because he's very brave and full of energy, and even though he's still in training, I know he's going to be the best at defending people when he has a little more practice." Aleph Sinclair
Kachessa Crim
"I think almost everyone here is a hero in their own way! :) Like Ryoji, and Kachessa, and lots of people too." V/V
Archer
"But Archer says that he's the King of Heroes, so does that make him the best? I don't know, but he's very smart and cool." V/V
Veronica Madaraki
"I guess I could be called a hero too. I'm a bodyguard that protects people from bad things, and I saved a few lives in my time here." Veronica Madaraki
Shion
"Shion- Even though he doesn't know it yet, he's already someone that can protect us." Reno (anon)
Xion
"Xion- Even though she's growing up here, she still has a pure heart." Reno (anon)
"My sister Xion, because she never gives up and has so much strength. Even when she is terrified she keeps fighting, and keeps me fighting too." Shion
Riku
"Riku- For the truth." Reno (anon)
America (Amelia)
"On that note, I think it's only proper that I mention the other Americas I've met; they were women, and they went by the name Amelia. I didn't know either of them nearly as well, but I'm confident that they were much the same in their strength and determination." England (anon)
Zett Takajo
"And Zett's Yotsuba's other honorary big brother! He's a Demon, but he's nice! He doesn't eat souls, so don't hurt him, okay?! I'll be super mad if you do! He can fly around, and he's super old like Enoch, even though they don't look it, and he played with me and taught me about computers! He's a good big brother!" Yotsuba
Waver Velvet
"My partner, Waver Velvet, has lost all that meant anything to him more than once and still fights on. He has hidden and sacrificed his true self so that he might fight at full power to achieve a goal none with will thank him for even as it saves their lives. He has accepted a failed knight heart and soul and given him his hope back. He has stood against those more powerful than him and not blinked. He has taken hold of his potential and made himself strong when others made a mockery of him.
He passes all that he has learned onto the future, so that those who listen might also fulfill their potential no matter what others think of them." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
Suzaku Kururugi
"My other brother, Suzaku, fights many demons within himself. He hardly knows how to continue on sometimes, and yet he still is driven to protect, driven to help, driven to fight for a better future. It would be easy to fall into himself and his pain, but he does not. He still continues forward and will always do so until the day he finally finds that future he so yearns for.
His steps pave the way so that those who follow will not have to suffer as he did." Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
Quark
"Quark is such a small child, yet he always reaches out to comfort others, even though I imagine he is very scared in this place himself. He may not be a great warrior, and for a man he is very small indeed but I would call him a hero."
Minato Arisato
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.
But many still remain, to struggling against the bullies in charge of this place. I know a few personally and I knew a few who are still gone. Minato Arisato, Diarmuid, Enoch, Doctor Brown, Aleph, Naoya Toudou, Labrys, Risette. . .
I don't think of any of them as the "best hero" but I do believe they are heroes all the same, due to a common quality they all share. Because they decided to fight back against a force with superior power and control. Injustice in the system is stronger than yourself, and yet they continued onward anyhow. They did not give up.
Bad things happened and they rose above them. They are not perfect or without sadness, but they resist their oppressors with all their might.
They want change in a positive direction, to improve our situation for the better even when it seems an impossible task. They want to try.
That is what makes them heroes, Romeo." Hidetoshi (anon)
Revolver Ocelot
"Another hero of darkness, Ocelot never fails to fight against the administrators. She trains others and encourages them to use their own strength. She never turns away from a challenge and never looks down on those not so powerful as her." Nesir Aeser (anon)
Doctor Emmett L Brown
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.

Ganondorf Dragmire
"There is a hero in this tower, though he is not a hero of light like the rest of the named you will have inevitably received. Instead he is a hero of darkness, but still a hero and still worthy of remembering.
He works tirelessly to free us from this prison and never backs down in face of danger and never goes against his ideals. That is what makes a true hero, of light or darkness." Nesir Aeser (anon)
Aleph Sinclair
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.

Zoe Gallais
"Zoe Gallais is amazingly strong, and never gives up or lets anyone push her around. She's smart, and like a real hero knows what the most important things are that she needs to work for." Zett Takajo
Naoya Toudou
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.

Sora
"Sora saved the worlds. Doesn't remember it, but what's a few memory issues compared to that? He also managed to change someone who didn't have a heart to change. Overall, pretty impressive kid." Axel
Sephiroth
Heroes stick to their ideals and beliefs whatever is done to them, whatever indignities they may face. Someone who I believe embodies this is Sephiroth. In this manner, I would call him a hero. Nesir Aeser (anon)
Colette Brunel
"I found a letter in my mailbox asking for heroes that I know here in the Tower, and they are Colette Brunel and Zelos Wilder. Both risked their lives to save two worlds but that's not why I consider them heroes.
Colette is a gentle soul who, although she may not look like it, has a strength greater than the most muscle-bound man. Once she makes up her mind about something, it's very hard to have her change it, and she never looks for the bad in others--only the good, which may help people see that their are more similarities than differences between people." Sheena Fujibayashi.
"There is a girl named Colette, she saved someone's life because she was quick and smart. That's the kind of thing that makes heroes" Capell
Zelos Wilder
"I found a letter in my mailbox asking for heroes that I know here in the Tower, and they are Colette Brunel and Zelos Wilder. Both risked their lives to save two worlds but that's not why I consider them heroes.
Zelos is a protector of children--whether he admits it willingly or not. And he's very protective of his sister. While many people who know him might think he's a little over-protective of her, to me, it's a sign that he's willing to protect others over himself.
PS: Please don't tell Zelos I said any of that. Thanks!" Sheena Fujibayashi.
Tetra
"Yeah, I do. Everyone in Pandora. Can't name them all, but there's Zelda and Enoch. And Tetra, too. She's a good kid." Neal Cassidy
Labrys

Allelujah Haptism
"I believe Allelujah was a hero because he had to fight to be one, to fight against his self, and though he didn't always win I believe he never stopped trying" Suzaku Kururugi
Merciless
"I'd have to say that some good heroes in the tower are Rick Dawn and this woman named Merciless.
And Merciless was a fighter from a very bad world. She kept going and never gave up, and even though she's gone, she's still a hero in my book." Veronica Madaraki
Risette
"We have endured a long time in this place. It is unavoidable that a lot of people have come and gone before they can be called heroes like they are.

Eridan Ampora
"They hurt Eridan so much and though he got angry and violent he was always very nice and was able to be kind even when he was hurting and mad. I think that is heroic" Taiki
Nunnally vi Britannia
"Nunnally was kind before she was anything else. She is perhaps a strange sort of hero but she always tried to do the right thing, and sometimes that can be very hard to do.
Rabbit
"Enoch's my hero too! And so's Luci and Rick and you and Zett and Rabbit and Dia and..Lancelot and Kariya and a lot of other people!
Rabbit was my first honorary big brother! He was a super awesome robot, and he promised to protect me and sang a lot of cool songs and said that I could be in his band with his brothers when I grew up! He's back home now..but he really liked his Daddy and his brothers too!" Yotsuba
Spine
"Spine was super nice! He's my hero too!" Yotsuba

Legolas is an elf from my world and a great hero, our world would be lost without him. Samwise Gamgee
Aradia Megido
"A young troll I met once, who met death with a dignity that many of those who claim to be great heroes would never manage. Her ability to endure makes her a hero" Suzaku Kururugi
Frodo Baggins
Frodo Baggins saved the world, even if it ended afterwards. He's a true hero though, the kind that stories are made out of. Samwise Gamgee
America (Adult)
"I recall that you have been here quite a long time, Romeo. Perhaps you knew another I wish to speak of. His name is America, just the same as the little America that's with us now. I'm not certain how long the big America was here; he arrived before I did, it seemed. He's been gone for a while now, but I know that if he were here, he would be doing everything within his stupid excess of power to save everyone. And I also know he would appreciate being recorded as a hero in any regard." England (anon)
Lord Gyousou
"Lord Gyousou is my king, sometimes heroes don't just have to be big and strong, they have to be kind and clever as well. Lord Gyousou is all those things... and when he was here he did his best to help everyone..." Taiki
Aragorn
"One of the greatest warriors of my world, I do not know if he were ever here but if he was, I am sure he would have fought hard to protect everyone." Samewise Gamzee

Even though Psi had every reason to be afraid he never gave up, no matter what happened he kept fighting, both physically and in his mind. His attempts at changing his world may have failed but it made him no less of a hero." Suzaku Kururgi
Rat

Gandalf
"Gandalf were here long before I came, and disappeared not long after I arrived but I knew him from home and he was one of the greatest heroes, I know that he never stopped trying to put things right here." Samwise Gamgee
Felix
"There was a man named Felix in the Tower who came here about the same time I did, but he's gone now. I think he's a hero, though. He was always there for people when they needed him most, and back home, he gave up everything he had in order to save the world... even though there were people who didn't understand what he was doing and tried to stop him, even though people treated him badly, he always did his best." Sheba
Jenna
"His sister, Jenna, was a hero too. She didn't understand what he was doing at first, but as soon as she did, she started to help him. She's one of the strongest people I've ever met, and she was also here for a few months, but... she's gone now, too." Sheba
Oz
"There was also a boy about my age named Oz who was only here for a short time. I don't know what he did in his world, but when he was here, he was always making people smile. It takes a special type of strength to keep smiling even in a place like this, so I'd say he's a hero, too."
Darres
"I think Darres and Duzell are huge heroes. Darres always tries to help everyone and he has a huge heart. There's nothing wrong with that." Ishtar
Duzell
"I think Darres and Duzell are huge heroes. Duzell is a little more stand offish but he has a good intentions and he's kind to those he cares about." Ishtar

"I know this one! I'd say my big brother Shinji! He's very smart and very brave, and he's the best robot pilot! He was the first one to fight against ADAM, something even I couldn't do. He always fights to protect others. And he's kicked reason to the curb more times than I can count!
Gimli
"Gimli is someone else without whom our world would be lost entirely." Samwise Gamgee
Yotsuba's Daddy
"Daddy's soul is here, even if it is enchanted, so I'm gonna say he's my best hero! I dunno what a hero is though..a really brave person, right?! That's what Yotsuba thinks! Daddy's curry is the best, and he was super fun and nice and he was really smart, even if he was useless sometimes! I'm being brave for him and everyone else in the Tower, so he's my best hero!" Yotsuba
Jumbo
"Jumbo's soul is here too, so I'm gonna say that he's my hero too! He played with Yotsuba a whoole lot and helped out Daddy, and he's reallly big! That's why he's Jumbo!" Yotsuba
Jules Verne
You ask for the best hero I know and I can think of none other than Jules Verne!
He is probably not a hero in the conventional sense of the term, but he certainly is one in that he has given a dream to countless people and led them to believe they could accomplish fantastic things! He is the favorite author of both myself and my wife. There is a lot that I could say about his stories, but I unfortunately do not have enough time to write everything!
If they have his books in the library, I can only advise you to read them!" Doctor Emmett L. Brown
A Rose (unnamed hero)
"There is a man on my world, who has worked all his life to please another.
He has never given up, never hesitated. Nobody sings his praises. Nobody likes being around him.
But he keeps trying.
It doesn't matter what happens to him. It doesn't matter what fate awaits him. He doesn't understand the idea of giving up. Not about this precious goal of his.
He prefers to be known as a rose, so that is all the name I will give him.
He will not be remembered, except perhaps by me.
He is one of the greatest heros my world has ever seen, and none will ever know it." Lorelei
