[ WP ] You are a tragic hero/heroine . Explain to us what makes you a tragic hero/heroin .

The devil is in the details, so it is said. The devil in mine was more literal than others. I longed to be a hero, so I struck a bargain. My soul for the powers to save people. 
 
 It was, in my mind, a grand gesture. What good I could do in the world, for the price of one soul. How many others could I save? Yet each day do I regret the bargain I struck, for the consequence it brings. For every life I save, another is taken, unseen. 
 
 Balance is the thing. Do I save the one in front of me, and hope that they're the better person than the other who's life must end? Every time it happens I must judge in that instant, and my judgement has burned me more than once. I only know the lives of the others once the deed is done, and the devil makes sure of it. 
 
 I could stop, of course. But people would die just the same, as people always do. Yet every time I see someone in trouble, how can I not help? When a child is to be killed in front of their parent, how can I look away, with the gifts I have? 
 
 So I press on, and do my best to fight the good fight. A Hero for some, a killer for others, forever the Devils plaything.
