A young sorcerer who is born with powers but just wants to be normal like the other kids and that colors his life ever after? A sage Wizard who is forced by circumstances to actually go out and get his own *special ingredients* but first has to find them and needs companions to survive in the wild? An older priest in a clergy who on his 50th birthday is finally blessed by the god and given spells (priest --> cleric) and the heirarchy forces him out to go on the same world journey/walk-about thing that the other 18 yr old clerics have to go on, a young urchin forced to choose between bad options ends up working for the thieves guild, learning their trade, but then something goes wrong and they have to flee, now they are on the road, a strapping young man whose noble father forces him to learn to fight, but his own heart longs for art and music (a la Monty Python) so he has the skills of a fighter but the heart of a poet and somehow circumstances force him into a life of adventure when all he wants is to sit an paint or compose, I could go on and on.Unless you mean something else by "reluctant hero" than I do. Frodo is the classic reluctant hero, he had no desire to leave the Shire in the books. Bilbo too to a lesser degree since he did dream of adventure at least.</blockquote>
