Comments for 'Shadows of Archon II (part 2) - A Night on the Town' |

No excuses about John, but in my story John is more than a Spartan II, he is an Archonian sleeper. Archonians dwell in beauty and emotions. I also had one of scientists that worked on the Spartan II project be a sleeper, she introduced her dna into the project to alter John. Otherwise, yeah it probably could have been written differently. This chapter turned out not be have the greatest reviews. Thanks for the late comment.

I know my comment is a little late, but oh well. I love the series, but this chapter was a little weeker. The umm uhh "Cat" scene could/should of been left out, or atleast done differently. Remember, John has no sexual urges, they got the boot during upgrades so yeah.

not really vec, i can think of instances where your 'hero' did more for his/her self.... Thus making it impossible to be a hero

A hero is one who strives more for others than he does for himself.... ::coughs:: Just my two cents.

I loved the complexity of that one, but i forget which one it was. I guess Wado's work is just to good for my liking. (but i loved that one where MC was persuading Zax not to kill him or somethin', and there was a mirror, or portal, i forget but anyways, with shadow-selfs and stuff, reading that whole thing was definatly worth my time.) Im sure ill enjoy the next one Wado, considering that the content seems to change every story. :D

Yes I already had my answer in mind before I asked the question. I'm glad to hear your answer. Helps to put things into perspective. And I said Rambo-like as in the likeness of Rambo. Thanks for your observation anyway.

AH-HA! THUS WADO YOU HAVE ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION!

Knightmare

You've given me something to thing about but I have one opposing statement to that: Rambo is a movie star??

Nice Knightmare, I will think about this. You say good stuff. I'm not arguing with you but in my mind you are describing an idol as well as a hero. Someone you strive to be like. In a way all heroes are idols to someone.
The answer I would give is also simple: "A hero is someone that does something that you can't." At least you don't believe you can do it (it would take a lot of your own personal courage to do what they do as well as abilities you might not have). For instance, a new recruit might think that the Rambo-like warrior is a hero (I'm not saying he isn't a hero) but the Rambo-like warrior who has seen one too many battles might say that a person that can solve problems without violence is a hero.

To give you something to think about... You see your hero in action, he or she is so great and you try to model after something greater than you, you set your goals and you swear to abide by them; but when push comes to shove you are nothing more and nothing less than "Normal." You are living, you have an instinct to preserve and indulge yourself. More often than not I find people saying one thing and doing another because of impulse, myself included. People are called Heroes and somesuch because of the deeds they do, yet is it not a normal person or thing behind them? Someone who FAILS? Someone who in the course of that greatness is somehow bound by horrible twists of fate? Someone who is real.

Well, I didn't expect that answer.

I can answer your question with three words Wado, and I stand by them: "There are None."

Thanks for the comments. I hope I'm not weirding out people too much. I find it hard enough to write about other cultures, but deep down everyone's still human. Imagining an alien culture can get very strange, all we can do is make certain assumptions and build from there. Well we know what assumptions can lead to. Anyway, my heroes aren't always battling bad guys, they're also fighting to keep their sanity and their humanity.
Answer this question: What is a hero? You won't get one answer that fits everyone. For John half of the job is being a good diplomat, the other half is being good when diplomacy fails.

Interesting, honestly I've got a lot of respect for your skill. I now see what you meant when you said the comment about "going beyond the usual."
