A great hero is one who is very human--with flaws and strengths. The heroine becomes the driving force for his actions and motivations. I like them serious, but with a sharp wit. A great hero is very intelligent, confident without being overly arrogant and can "see" the heroine as no one else does. I'm less concerned with the physical, though I have my personal preferences (I like them tall and dark-haired for the most part). I'm much more interested in the internal workings and character. :smile: Take that with a grain of salt though. For practice in writing a difficult anti-hero, I wrote a fanfic where Grima Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings was the romantic lead.:eek: Late to the party on this one.
