Hero Alexander Spriggins (TLOS: TAOMAT)

**Hero Alexander Spriggins** (born July 24, 2005), is one of the protagonists in TLOS: TAOMAT, he is an 8-16 year old boy who is the son of Jack and Goldilocks

A highly precocious and intelligent child with an IQ of 201. Hero was originally just no more than a mere human citizen until one day he was hit by a car and needed a blood transfusion. However by accident the doctors accidentally gave him the blood of a fairy which led to him gaining magical powers. Eventually seeing his high amount of talents, he decided to put them to use and try to purge the world of evil.

## Background

Hero was born in the Cemetery of the Undead Pt. 2. After the Land of Stories was at peace, Hero grew up living in Jack's manor which was rebuilt and spent most of his childhood chasing around, hanging out at home, and causing mischief with the Charmings boys and Bruce. According to him, he had a crush on Ash since childhood.

## Appearance

Just like in the book, Hero has blond hair and bright blue eyes inherited from his mother and his father's strong chin and broad shoulders (also nicknamed the classic Spriggins charm). Unlike many characters who have changed hairstyles overtime, Hero stayed with one hairstyle, with similar bangs to his mother with two extraordinarily long bangs swept to both sides of his face and a spiky hair quiff and a rear tuft on the back. The hair quiff always stays even whenever he has to change his hairstyle (such as slicking it back).

For clothing, he has always worn (in daytime) hoodies/t-shirts/shirts, jackets, non-denim jeans, and sneakers, he also has a wristwatch and a Chariot United FC pin on his jacket, and sometimes he wears a blue/SF/CU cap as well. When attending balls and other formal events, he usually wears a tuxedo.

In his pilot outfit while piloting a X-Jet, Hero wears a blue and grey outfit with a white helmet with blue stripes.

## Personality

In the entire series, Hero is charismatic, brave, selfless, witty, ambitious, and naïve which are all his core characteristics. However as the series progresses he becomes more manipulative, cunning, and calculating. However like all characters he has his own flaws, being wrathful, empassioned, and a bit stubborn. He also starts off as a bit shy. However as the series progressed he became calmer, outgoing, and responsible. His intense temper stayed, although he had learned to control it. And while now able to communicate with others, he wouldn’t make friends until completely understanding somebody’s character, showing that he didn’t fully lose his old character.

However to his friends, family, and even affiliates, Hero’s greatest defining trait is loyalty. However he is highly unforgiving to traitors and would always punish them, but always spares them. He is also a strong leader, showing leadership skills throughout the series. He is also willing to spare his enemies in fights instead of killing them, and only takes lives either in self-defense, out of necessity (such as hunting), or if the victim is too evil to live.

Hero is generally motivated by his morals, never seeing any rewards for his actions. His only goal is to succeed, being completely intolerant of failure. Even after failing once he is always willing to do it a second time to see if he succeeds, and so on.

He also has a strong and almost zealous sense for justice and always fights for it. However he is only working with judicial or law enforcement whenever necessary and only when his heart tells him.

Hero is also extremely precisionist, putting high effort into anything he does, especially since how he is intolerant of failure.

However, putting these traits behind, Hero's greatest trait is his sheer optimism and how he always holds his head up high no matter what happens. His optimism is infectious and often gave hope to the heroes and even redeemed a few villains. He is truly, as it could be said, pure of heart.

## Abilities

### In General

* Genius-level intellect - Despite his simple-mindedness, Hero obviously has a high intelligence of 201. He has been able to build anything from makeshift weapons all the way to design an actual rocket. Although mostly gifting his brain to the better of mankind, Hero has still done various self-benefitting deeds using his IQ such as building a supercomputer to play video games on.

### Special abilities

* Marksmanship - Hero has a legendary aim, able to hit his target 99% of the time.
* Swordsmanship - Like his mother, Hero is also a good swordsman, showing a very good precision and ability to calculate anything.
* Axmanship - This time inherited from his father, Hero has showed skill with axes and sometimes even prefers it to swords.
* Martial arts skills - Hero is very knowledgeable of martial arts and as a result keeps some skill during hand-to-hand combat
* Bloodstone immunity - Likely due to him never having magic until he was hit by that car, Hero has shown an immunity to bloodstone, something that neither pure-blooded magical beings or human-magical hybrids are invulnerable to.
* Minute prediction - As he is basically assigned to a fighter at birth, Hero would essentially have to be able to predict the move of all of his opponents.

## Etymology

Hero is already etymologized in canon, being called that so he can be the hero of his own story

Alexander is the male version of Alexandra, Alex's full name. It has completely no connection to Alexander the Great, Alexander Hamilton, or even Alexander Ludwig for that matter. And "Hero Alexander" most certainly has no connection to Hero of Alexandria as it is purely a coincidence.

Spriggins comes from Jack **Spriggins** and the Enchanted Bean.

## Trivia

* With an IQ of 201, Hero is considered to be the third smartest known human being in the TAOMAT universe.
* Hero is a huge fan of chocolate, and has been seen eating it many times.
