* Hero protagonist - protagonists who aspire for this, not required.
* Ideology

Contrast:
* Malevolent protagonist
Uplifting, courageous, conquering adversities no ordinary man or woman could, and so forth.

A common imagery is of the hero climbing atop their vanquished enemies and looking bravely towards new (unseen) challenges with confidence.

Note that despite player controlling the "hero" of the tale, the tales themselves are often surprisingly non-heroic, even in cases where the protagonist aspires for heroism.
