I think there's a better word to be used rather than 'Heroic'. I agree with the core of the sentiment, but the word choice throws the discussion into a different perspective because 'Heroic' has certain things attached to it (something we're all too aware of in Arcanis). Maybe it might be better expressed as 'passionate'. Apathy drags a story down, while passion and engagement make a story exciting, and just because your character wouldn't necessarily be interested doesn't mean that they won't find something to be interested in along the way.
