Determinators are characters who make their pledge to never give up... ever, no matter what. It is their tenacity that allows them to overcome many obstacles and to achieve their impossible goals. For this type of hero, no price is too great to pay for success, up to and including their own life (and others). If their allies or families are ever kidnapped or lost with no hope of rescue, they'll be the one who will find them, and they will stop at nothing to do so. In some cases, a hero can have an objective to succeed a goal that has been first dreamed of by the original way.
