We've had quite a number of simple, practical questions, why not something a little more thought provoking?

How do you define your worth? Or, if my meaning isn't entirely clear, what is it that distinguishes you among your peers and gives your life value?

My contribution?

[That's easier anyway, and he feels like the guy isn't trying to make it sound like some people are worth more than others.]

I guess I want to help people, maybe give them something to look up to and hope for. Kinda cheesy I know, but I like to think that maybe other people will try to be better as well because of it.
extirpations: (this got boring fast)

An interesting, if naive goal. So how do you endeavour to achieve this? 'Helping' or 'inspiring' others is rather ambiguous.
scarletspeedster: (trust me)

Well I'm a superhero? It kinda goes with the territory. And you'd be surprised how much of an effect that has on people. Sure, maybe we can't fix the world immediately or make people change easily, but it all adds up and makes a difference in the long run.
extirpations: (you almost surprised me there)

'Superhero'? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the term. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to it's meaning? I'm also curious what exactly you mean by 'fixing' the world. It's seems a rather loaded statement if you'll forgive me for saying so.
scarletspeedster: (flash approved)

Really? I guess they're pretty standard where I'm from. People with powers and costumes or just a lot of willpower and some training who work to keep everyone else safe, that kind of thing. Me? I've got superspeed and I work out of the twin cities, Central and Keystone. I also work with some other heroes to save the world a few times.

[He grins, not too concerned by the 'loaded statement' bit.]

Stuff like keeping crime rates low, helping with disasters and threats, problems like that. Some of them can't be fixed easily, but we try our best, right?
extirpations: (nothing to worry about)

How interesting. I've never heard of such a thing. I'd be curious to hear more another time if you'd be willing.

So your chosen role is the protection of others. And do you stay true to this purpose no matter how difficult it becomes?
