Profile

Appearance

Hero is the oldest and tallest of the party. According to Sprout Mole Mike, he is 5'7" in Headspace.

In Headspace, Hero wears a set of blue-striped pajamas. His hair is unkempt and messy from sleep. Like Kel and Aubrey, he is barefoot, and his hairs and eyes are the same bluish-purple tint as theirs.

In the real world, Hero has neatly styled brown hair and black eyes. He wears a navy v-neck sweater, grey pants, and white shoes.

Personality

Hero is the peacemaker of the group, who tries to restrain his friends whenever they get too worked up. He is described as having a mild personality and being passionate about baking, cooking, and cleaning. He is also noted to an extremely hard and talented worker, to the point where he becomes the Last Resort's best employee within a day of his employment there.

He is also extremely charismatic, and his charisma allows him to convince others to go along with his requests, get discounts from the Mailbox and befriend animals like Ems. However, he is a pushover, and often has difficulty telling others "no," such as when Aubrey successfully talks him into attending Sweetheart's Quest for Hearts, and his initial reluctance to turn down Sweetheart's marriage proposal until his friends motivate him. He also has crippling arachnophobia; in Headspace, encountering enemies that are even vaguely spider-like will cause him to begin the battle Afraid, while in the real world, his fear seems to have gotten even worse to the point where he completely shuts down when he catches even a glimpse of a spider in his room.

In the real world, he is significantly more reserved than his depiction in Headspace, which Kel notes is due to Mari's death, and theorizes that he still blames himself for her apparent suicide.

Background

Hero was born on January 1st to an unnamed father and mother approximately 19 years before the start of the game. Three years later, his younger brother Kel was born. Hero obtained the nickname "Hero" because of his love for hero sandwiches.

At some point, Hero became friends with his next-door neighbors Mari and Sunny, then later Aubrey and Basil. They, along with Kel, would spend much of their time together. When Mari died, Hero became severely depressed and secluded himself from his friends, family, school, and hobbies for about a year, becoming an hikikomori not unlike Sunny. At one point, Kel tried to help Hero out of his depressive episode, but this resulted in Hero taking out his grief and anger on Kel. His parents immediately rushed to comfort him, ignoring Kel who was also in tears. Noticing this, Hero immediately embraced Kel and apologized. It is after this instance that Hero's depression began to subside, although according to Kel, he is still somewhat closed off.

He once considered becoming a chef partly due to Mari's (and potentially Sunny's) encouragement. However, after her death, he decided to follow his parents' wishes to become a doctor.
