Editing Legend (section)

==Personality==
Legend is probably closest to the classic superhero that ''Worm'' offers, heroic, noble, and willing to make sacrifices for others.{{Cite}} As part of the leading heroes of the Protectorate, Legend is seen as a paragon of what a hero should be, acting on and off the camera largely the same.<ref name="19.y">'''► Coyote-C'''<br/>Replied on July 6th, 2011:<br/>@ Cowboy<br/>Can’t be Eidolon.  He’s strong, but he’s not a leader.  There’s a ton of references to people meeting him at conventions or cape wives meeting him at functions.  I won’t say he’s an asshole, though some have said he rubbed them the wrong way, but people definitely don’t walk away from meeting him with that universal “Oh my god he’s so nice!” reaction that they have with Legend. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/16 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 19.y]]</ref><ref>Legend's other contact with Taylor was pretty fair. He had a serious situation on his hands, and he outlined options. He didn't twist her arm (though it's easy to mix up what he was saying with what Armsmaster was saying) but did push one option as it was (in his mind) the best option available.- [https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/2922096 Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles]</ref> Legend is gay, married for six years,<ref>A light smile touched his face.  He even felt a little giddy at the thought of getting home, wrapping Arthur in a hug.  Growing up, he’d never thought that he’d feel giddy about his husband after six years of marriage. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/interlude-14-5-bonus-interlude/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 14.y]]</ref> and he is the reason gay rights have progressed much further on Earth Bet than on our Earth.<ref name="I5xc1">'''chassisbird:'''<br/>I really love this story, but it makes me really uncomfortable that the only gay characters so far are Legend, who is a single-chapter background guy, and Amy, who is a character driven to do something awful by her love for another girl.<br/><br/>'''wildbow:'''<br/>You’re downplaying how important Legend is in the setting.<br/><br/>Further, you’re missing two others who’ve come up and had their attraction get mentioned – it’s not blatant, but it’s there, and it does get more attention later. Considering that romantic entanglements and relationships don’t get mentioned that often, I think it’s a pretty good track record for GBLTQABBQ inclusion. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/interlude-15-donation-bonus/#comment-70258 Reply] to a [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/interlude-15-donation-bonus/#comment-70257 comment] on [[Interlude 15.x]]</ref><ref>“I was with Sacred Heart at first,” Hitter said.  “I used to be a warrior angel.  It was cool and then it wasn’t.  Legend might have opened doors, but people can still be shitty in private.  The team management said I could do whatever I liked, but the guys who were being shitty could do whatever they liked too.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/12/03/radiation-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Radiation 18.6]]</ref>

Legend is charismatic with presence and clout;<ref name="II17.2 e1">There were people who could enter a room, and everyone would stop talking, or the tone of conversation, at the very least, would shift.  Chevalier.  Legend.  Narwhal.  Dragon.  There were people who had impacted world-scale events who didn’t quite have that presence or clout.  I was pretty sure Tattletale was one such person.<br><br>Some of those people had become what they’d become because the PRT had helped make them into icons.  Had taken the virtues those capes represented, and ''sold them'', hard.  They’d made it subliminal and liminal, marketed it to kids and the elderly, and made things like strength, courage, nobility, caring, honesty, and justice things that just happened to go hand in hand with the heroes appearing.  The PRT had boosted social media that sold these principles and the ''presence'' of these capes, and had provided deft answers for anything that appeared to hurt these notions. - [[Sundown 17.2]]</ref> he has the kind of voice you wanted to listen to.<ref name="8.1 e4">Yet more were continuing to arrive when Armsmaster and Legend turned away from their conversation and walked up to the front of the room.  The din in the room quieted, and every set of eyes was on them.<br><br>Legend cleared his throat.  He had the kind of voice that you ''listened to'', “We owe thanks to Dragon and Armsmaster for their early alert.  We’ve had time to gather, and that means we have just a few more minutes to prepare and brief for Leviathan’s arrival, instead of jumping straight into the fray as we arrive.  With this advantage, some luck, teamwork and hard effort from everyone, I hold out hope that this could be one of the good days.” - [[Extermination 8.1]]</ref> Many people felt like they wanted to be better for their next meeting with him.<ref name="II17.2 e2">People reported coming away from a meeting with Legend feeling like they wanted to be ''better'' for the next meeting. - [[Sundown 17.2]]</ref>

[[Teacher]] believed Legend, when frustrated, would bide his time and seek dialogue.<ref name="II15.x e14">“Because I want him.  Legend, when frustrated, bides his time and seeks dialogue.  I would like a chance to have that dialogue and bring him onto my team. - [[Interlude 15.x II]]</ref>
