So this has been bugging me for a while... It seems like, as far as role play goes, there are lots of different definitions for "Bravery" or "Courage." Many of the definitions I have either heard/observed from other players and their bios and a few are listed here, though there may be more. Here are just a few.
1. To face one's fear/ignore a fear or act upon a duty for one's or someone else's sake, despite a moderate to high risk. Refusing to face said fears, or not fufilling a duty without reason means one is a "coward."
2. To never back down from a fight, regardless of how risky/costly it is, for the sake of not being labled as "a coward."
3. To be fearless. No fear toward anything threatening or evil. Its just, not existant, and being far from "fearless" is equal to being a coward
Im not really talking much about courage in terms of real-life as people as characters are more 2-D and easier to break down in terms of their actions and motives. So... any opinions? I just found it interesting because by some of these definitions, if a character caters to one definition, they might be considered a "coward" by another. I suppose you could apply it to RL, since its a word's definition but...again, trying to keep things a bit simpler... so any thoughts? I dont think the dictionary can do it justice because its seen differently by different people.
