How many Adventurers are out in the game, in-game, as accomplished as your character? Are you one of many, one of a rare breed or The One?

This debate has popped up in at least two of the active threads so I think it deserves its own.

(Personally, I think it's going to vary from player to player. My characters' continuities are heavily tied-up in the continuity of their RP-based Free Company so in their world the "new" warriors of light are a small group of people better known for their unbelievably good luck than for any sort of courage or prowess.)
