Best Hero
A hero is someone who helps others and are willing to go beyond for the greater good. As such, I'm going over the personality and history of these characters, and potentially a few other things if necessary (such as if there's a "present day" section of the page). The biggest thing I'll be looking for is their motive. What drives them, and why?

Best Character
Going to be going over every aspect of each page here. Going to be judging based on reasoning (why they are the way they are), uniqueness (originality, what makes them stand out), and how compelling they are (relatability, motives, relationships, complexity in personality and character).

Best Speaker

 * 1) Terra the Ocelot "There are people who've died because they didn't have that ability, and here you are, using it for your playtime. How immature."
 * 2) Alexia the Hedgehog "Don't be, Lee. I know how terrible it feels to feel useless. Ever since I found my new home, that's all I've been, really. But no matter how much you wish how you could've done this, or should've done that... well, that's why life goes on, right? It wouldn't be all that great if he only got one chance... but that's not the case. I know that there a times where I am all but useful to my friends. But I can't spend all of my time in a fetal position, crying about how I can't do anything. I have to get better. And considering that you're already better than me in that regard based on what I've seen, Lee, I think that you have so much potential. So don't beat yourself up, okay? Not just for your sake, but also for mine, and Kennedy's, and everyone else's."
 * 3) Tel-Eth "Tell me something, Ion. If you had the chance to bring back everything you lost, to correct all your mistakes, would you? What would you do to correct them? Don't tell me you wouldn't do anything to fix things. The ones who stand against us, these Savours, act like they're a force for good. All they're doing is keeping us in a nightmare reality when utopia is moments away. We have reality in the palm of our hands. We can fix everything that you could not, no, would not. Do you still believe we are evil, Ion?"
 * 4) Birgitte the Dog "Don't you think I know what I've done to myself?! Don't you think I understand the price I've paid?! I was never able to run and play with other kids when I was younger; as an adult I was locked into a dead-end desk job that barely payed my bills, because there was nothing else out there for a f***ing cripple! I hate his guts, but I owe him my livelihood. He's the reason I haven't offed myself years ago. He's the reason I'm alive."
 * 5) Splice The Hedgehog "No. I'm not running anymore. If we keep running, they'll keep chasing. Nothing will change unless we take a stand!"
