Fan Casting Take Me Instead

Role added by eclipsestarling on October 7, 2022

Make Suggestion

Description of Take Me Instead:

A character offers themself in exchange for the freedom of another, willingly turning himself over to the villain in order to buy the safety of someone who will most likely be a love interest or a friend, although sometimes it's a complete stranger that the hero just met but has nevertheless decided that it's his job to save. And so a trade takes place, but this time the hero is using himself as a bargaining chip. (If the other character is aware of what is going on, a More Hero than Thou dispute may arise.)
