Johnathan Fair/New Creation

Johnathan Augustus Fair, known more commonly as Symbol, was a hero by definition.

Personality
Early in life, John had a massive sense of justice, putting himself in harms way to protect anyone and everyone, even those among his peers who wanted to cause him harm. As he got older that sense of justice got fine-tuned, sharpened, and it made him a very well liked and respected hero.

After the Inheritance, something in John clicked. Like he had been missing a piece, but he knew that piece was never going to be his. This sudden flood of warped memories and a sense of purpose that he had never experienced before had rocked him to his core. He knew that he was always going to be a hero without a true calling. Knowing that Rou was a comrade in his previous existence caused him terrible grief, maybe if he had been better, maybe if he could measure up in ways he had no example of before. John's final 10 years of his life were years of despair, even during the happy moments he had a sense of longing that some could pick up on, only other Inheritors could perhaps understand what that longing was for, though.

After Dahlia's death, John had a worse time around. She kept him levelled, very literally, her powers kept him calm and muted the static of sadness that permeated through him constantly. Her absence was more that him in mourning, it was him in utter turmoil constantly. Anyone that could partially put together the pieces would've seen that him lasting 6 months after her dying was a miracle and a testament to his own Powers, but like Marcus's bones, unbreakable doesn't mean indestructible.

Rou Hise
To John, Rou is his brother, more than that, Rou is his other half. They were taught each one half of the God Killing Fist by Feng Yun, so that together they could kill gods. Early on they became rivals, later friends. John saw that Rou was suffering without an equal, so John took it upon himself to try and measure up. Always losing but never giving up. Rou means a lot to John, and even though he was a villain, John would have been willing to die for him.

Power(s)

 * Martial Arts Mastery: John is able to perfectly execute any Martial Art he sees, his body moves in a way that only the top practitioners of the individual arts have. Due to this, he is extremely proficient at close-range combat, and is part of a small group of heroes that do not use lethal force against people.
 * Unbreakable Will: This power has caused John a lot of grief, if he sets his mind to something it is nigh-impossible to prevent him from attempting at carrying it out. Some would call this power a blessing, but for John it's closer to a disability.
 * Ultimate Endurance: This power, coupled with his Unbreakable Will, is the majority reason that John became such an amazing hero. This power allowed John to do what few people can do when facing an unstoppable force: get back up and try again.

Trivia

 * Big heart, bigger sad.
