[@Apocalypse] I mean, could always be somewhat like Avatar: The Last Airbender, in that no Avatar was alive at the same time as another. We have, after all, been resurrected from another time. Why not our own times? There could be established 'eras' where we can fit into different roles - warlords and generals, philosophers and peacemakers, leaders and revolutionaries. A hero is defined by their feats, from drawing their weapon to stowing it away.
