Topic: Starting Out As A Hero, Advice Needed
In: Boards ► Active Heroes
Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Posted on February 19, 2011:
Hello.
I suddenly gained access to this board a while back, and I had someone explain to me how everything works. For now, I wanted to introduce myself to everyone and hopefully get some advice on what I should watch out for as a starting hero.
Also, does anyone know how to change my username? Calling myself Hero makes me feel a bit apprehensive.
[Edit: Freeter sends his regards]

Earth Bet… wait, could it be Locker Girl?
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Please don't call me that.
Yes, I'm the girl who summoned Freeter.
► Freeter (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Please give a warm welcome to my new apprentice.
For those unaware of the situation, see the following thread:

Replied on February 19, 2011:
Hey, Freeter!
How's life treating you?
Also sorry, I'll stop calling you by that name Hero.
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Thanks.
► Freeter (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Great, I've gotten used to things here.
I'm not gonna participate in this thread much since I'm busy with something.
While I'm gone, I figure it would be nice if other Earth series heroes could introduce themselves.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Ooh, great idea!
I'll send the word out.
► Company Employee (Parallel Universe #8)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Finally, an update from Freeter!
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
What's going on?
► High School Girl (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Is something happening?
Student quickly messaged me to join for some reason.

Alright, I'm here.
Now, what's the situation?
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Magical Girl is here?
And Detective as well?

Replied on February 19, 2011:
Erm… Hello!
► Security Guard (Space-time Public Order Administration)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Thanks for contacting me.
► Kogal (Parallel Universe #7)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Wassup everyone!
► Freeter (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Hold on, isn't this a bit much?!
Student, how did you get this many people to appear?
► Student (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Well, everyone's curious about the person that caused the entire board to suddenly change.
► Freeter (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Ugh, whatever.
I'll leave it to you guys to handle this matter.
Hero, try not to feel overwhelmed by everyone here.
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Suddenly, I'm feeling less confident about this…
► Freeter (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Go easy on her everyone!

Where's Freeter going?
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
He found out that there's an Asian gang ruled by a villain who can turn into a dragon.
I made Freeter promise to limit the collateral damage before he could fight him.
At least this time, he'll wear a proper costume while he's out.
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Costume?
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Costume?
► Security Guard (Space-time Public Order Administration)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Those two immediately replied, lol
► Company Employee (Parallel Universe #8)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Sounds like a story.
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
It's not really much of a story.
Uber and Leet are small-time criminals where I'm from.
The other day, Freeter was out shopping when he ran into them.
Even though they were only minor villains, they attacked in a public place.
Left with no option, he used a paper bag to conceal his face before confronting them.
► Kogal (Parallel Universe #7)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Makeshift mask, lol
► Detective (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
At least he hid his identity before acting.
► Scrawny Cheater (Parallel Universe #8)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Hmm, maybe I should look into getting a good mask…

It looks like you're getting along with Freeter.
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Freeter has been a great help ever since we first met.
The past few weeks have shown that he's a reliable teacher.
Although some of his quirks have taken a bit of time for me to get used to.
► High School Girl (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
That's good…
► Student (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
High School Girl is still traumatized from her time as a hero.
Most aren't so fortunate to have good mentors or companions.
You're lucky that you have the help of someone experienced to guide you.
► High School Girl (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Party nearly disbanded 10 times…
Internal conflict during battles 6 times…
Forcing another girl to take my place afterward…
► Company Employee (Parallel Universe #8)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
That's…
► Security Guard (Space-time Public Order Administration)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
I remember that incident.
You had to undergo a forced return technique if I recall.
The country that summoned you was revealed to be getting rid of past heroes before.
It became a sort of cautionary tale to beware figures of authority for newly summoned heroes.
► High School Girl (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Geez, hearing that makes me feel embarrassed.
But I guess this sort of counts as advice for Hero.
Don't always assume that a higher authority is trustworthy.
And try to watch out for social dynamics when working as a hero.
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Don't worry, I'll keep away from any drama if I can help it.
► High School Girl (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Too bad Waitress isn't here to give her input.

It looks like this will mainly be a life lesson session for Hero.
Anyone else has anything they'd like to say?
► Detective (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
I suppose I should offer up some advice as well.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life has a way of surprising you.
Whether it's combining robots or transforming heroes, you can't predict what will pop up next.
Your worldview may end up shaken sometime in the future, so be prepared for that when it happens.
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
For some reason, I feel like I have to apologize…
► Security Guard (Space-time Public Order Administration)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
The weirdness of Parallel Universe #4, lol
► Detective (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Sometimes I still have trouble believing that the Evul Empire and Destructive Pipe Kingdom exist.
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Tell me about it.
What kind of names are the Cream Kingdom and Junk Empire?
► Scrawny Cheater (Parallel Universe #8)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Now I'm wondering if there's a hidden organization in our world…
► Company Employee (Parallel Universe #8)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Sheesh, that's a scary thought.
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
I honestly have no idea how to reply to this.
Either way, thank you for the advice Detective…?
► Detective (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Ugh… You're welcome…

Then I guess it's my turn now!
Hero, the best advice I can give you is to rely on Sage.
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Sage?
► Student (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
He's a senior that's pretty famous amongst heroes.
Although, I can't say that Kogal's advice… hold on a second!
Didn't he get in trouble for making an item that let you summon whatever you desired from home?
► Security Guard (Space-time Public Order Administration)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Sage…
There's a limit to how much you should spoil your juniors…
► Kogal (Parallel Universe #7)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Ahahaha, you guys are, like, so serious.
But honestly, the best advice I can give Hero is to rely on others to help.
Working with a partner is, like, so much better than doing things by yourself.
► High School Girl (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
I dunno…
Sometimes, you can get stuck with really toxic teammates.
► Kogal (Parallel Universe #7)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Then just make sure to stick with comrades you trust.
At the very least, I know that Hero can rely on Freeter for help.
Still, it's best to find other people that you click with if you get what I mean.
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
I see… I'll keep what you said in mind.
► Kogal (Parallel Universe #7)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Don't think too hard about it, lol
Just let nature take its course and do what feels right.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Can't believe that Kogal is giving some good advice…

Well, there is one more thing for Hero.
When you think of superheroes, the obvious thing is costumes and names.

Huh?

We should probably end this discussion before things get ugly.
Hero, just wear something that doesn't make you feel embarrassed.
As for your username, just tell me what you want to go by and I can change it for you.
► Hero (Original Poster) (Earth Bet)
Replied on February 19, 2011:
Ah, that's okay.
I think I'll take my time figuring out what I want to call myself.

If you say so.

Thank you all for the advice.

To clarify, Hero is the default username for every new member of the BBS (and has no relation to the other Hero most people on Earth Bet know). This chapter was to mainly help Taylor get accustomed to the weirdness that other heroes go through when interacting with them. Since this isn't a traditional story, expect a couple of timeskips between each post.
