This tournament is more than a chance at personal glory. We're fighting for the very survival of Earthrealm.
~ Liu Kang, as he explains to Johnny Cage that he must win to gain the honor of Earthrealm.
That is incredibly brave what you did, refused the First Order and save that man's life.

The Noble individuals known as the opposite of a Cheater, are characterized by their unwavering commitment to fair play and honorable conduct in battle. They adhere to a strict code of ethics, and refuse to use any underhanded tactics such as attacking unsuspecting foes or breaking their promises. These valiant souls embody the antithesis of pragmatism, choosing instead to uphold principles of integrity and sportsmanship even in the heat of conflict. Over time, as their characters evolve, they may find themselves straddling the line between these opposing Pragmatists, but through character development one can also be the other.

These heroes have a habit of wanting to fight an opponent fairly that they would sometimes allow their opponent to gain an advantage (like Vegeta letting Semi-Perfect Cell achieve his perfect form, so the two could have a fair fight). In this category, these heroes tend to also compliment their foes for their abilities. A common theme of this is that they are trying to bring honor to themselves, for others, or even their organizations. Often, these heroes are respected for their need to play fair by allies and enemies alike and also find a “worthy opponent” to battle against.

By default, all Pure Goods are honorable due to them showing respect to everyone including their enemies. Pure Goods would never cheat in order to win UNLESS the cheating isn't for selfish reasons and/or they're facing against people that aren't going to play fair anyway (e.g. Qui-Gon Jinn cheating against Watto so that he can free Anakin).

However, not every hero is honorable. In fact, some of these heroes can forgo their honor if it means completing their goals and aiding their homeland. Likewise, they can use underhanded tactics to gain advantage in the battle. Here are several exceptions to this category where heroes use such ruthless methods to the point of going from “honorable” to “downright pragmatic”:

NOTE: To prevent further abuse of this category, try not to add any heroes who employ ruthless, underhanded or downright “dishonorable” to this category. Likewise, many anti-heroes (but some exceptions, like Zuko) and heroes by proxy don’t qualify for this category.
