Heroes and Objects
Heroes and objects hold an important place in your story on multiple levels. They first allow you to reward your readers. Indeed, heroes and objects are symbolized by icons and appear in the form of a popup.

The reader will also be notified that they possess one of the keys to your story: the heroes and objects won are displayed in the top bar of the story reader.

Differences between Objects and Heroes
Heroes and objects function on the same principle. However, it should be noted that:
- There can only be one hero: if a new hero is won, it replaces the previous one. Objects are not limited, but there can only be one copy of each in the inventory.
- In the game bar, the hero's icon is displayed on the left, and the number of objects won is displayed on the right in a button (which opens a popup with the list of objects won by the player).
The name "hero" might suggest that the feature is designed only for characters, but this is not the case! You can very well use them to symbolize the place where the reader is (in the House, the Labyrinth...) or what they have chosen as a vehicle, for example: the Bike or the Scooter.

- Enter a description: this is the text that will be displayed when the object / hero is won by the player.
- Select an icon: by clicking the icon edit button, a modal window opens allowing you to search (see the chapter on icons for more details).
