Character Design HW1.5: Amazing characters from fiction

1. Ender Wiggin
Ender Wiggin is the main character from the book Ender's Game written by Orson Scott Card. In this book Ender is a young boy who has been trained for years in military tactics to become the earth's savior against an alien race known as the Buggers, who had ravaged earth's fleet many years before. At Battle School, an orbiting satellite where boys are trained, Ender learned how to command groups of peers in order to beat other teams, known as Armies. He excelled and was watched closely by the higher ups in the military before being sent to Command School way earlier than expected. He was trained there using simulations in order to learn how to command and control space fleets. Eventually he comes to his final and seemingly impossible test and somehow, to the surprise and relief of his commanders, completes it. It isn't until after he sees everyone cheering and crying that he realized that the simulation was real, and he had just eliminated an entire civilization and race of beings. Overcome with grief and remorse(for he had understood the buggers completely) he secluded himself in his room for many days. After he came out he was changed, and later on in the series he writes a book about why killing the buggers was bad and an evil thing to do, completely villainizing himself in the process.

2. Eragon
Eragon is the main character of the Inheritance Saga by Christopher Paolini. Eragon plays a young man who by some twist of fate discovers a dragon egg. This is unfortunate because Eragon would have been content without all the glory and attention brought to him by becoming a dragon rider. Through that unfortunate or fortunate twist of fate Eragon becomes the only hope to free a land that is ruled by the iron clutch of a (mostly) immortal mad king. I find him inspiring because even though he has all this power and responsibility, he has very tough moral struggles and retains his humanity in the process.

3. Batman
Batman is my final inspiring character from fiction. I find him so inspiring because he fights for what is right, no matter what. He could have just laid back and sat on his billions but instead of that, he actually uses his money to help the city he lives in. He relies on a sharp intelligence and incredible physical fitness in order to subdue his foes. I like that he relies on his own, human, strength and wits.
