It... depends on the system. Or the power in the shadows behind what looks like a certain part of any system.
Mm, that's the thing though. Everyone has their reasons. Better ones, worse ones, but even 'heroes' ( she changes her tone around that word, as if to highlight it as she speaks, ) are motivated by different things, aren't they? Helping isn't always for the same reason. People help each other out all the time for the failures in what's around them... or they sink further into the cracks that society doesn't try to build ladders back out of.
( And she knows those places better than she'd like, even if she'd never personally recalled having been there. )
You're not wrong about that. The way things are set up in my world, there's a huge incentive to being a hero. Fame, fortune, all of that. High risks, high reward kind of situation. If you're interested in those things, it can be a fast track to them. That could be a motivation.
[ He hums lightly. ] Wasn't ever my motivation though. I wanted to help, for the sake of helping. [ He is not actually lying about that. That's been his driving force. ]
