In the present, HERO still retains his amicable, warm-hearted persona during his adulthood. He is well-loved by the folks of FARAWAY and admired for his charisma as well. He notably possesses a talent in succeeding in virtually everything he tries, though he admits his reputation is heavily exaggerated. HERO is rather calm and understanding towards anyone he meets, even trying to comfort them in times of distress. This was shown when he comforted AUBREY and helped her reconcile with KEL, SUNNY, and BASIL.

Despite this, he is rather mellowed down in terms of personality, mostly due to suffering from depression over MARI's death and trying to get his life back on track. HERO also appears to keep his emotions in check most of the time, although he does get deeply emotional whenever he remembers MARI's presence. Regardless, HERO still tries to remain strong for his friends and will do anything to make sure they feel comfortable and safe.

Real world HERO is approximately 19-20 years old and is a college student. He should have a medium to low pitched mature voice. He should not sound like a child.

His HEADSPACE counterpart is HERO.
