Like-minded individuals that are intelligent, witty and creative. I love a good conversation , so you should have good communication skills to go with your brain. ;o)
I'll add to this when I think of more attributes.

For various reasons, one being admiration, I would call the following people my "heroes":
Bono
In my eyes, he's the Ultimate Rock Star. He uses his fame and fortune to help others. That is awesome in my eyes.
Tori Amos
Tori is one of the most influential living legends of our time. A natural talent, Tori's words and music touch me in such a way that no other musician/band has seemed be able to do. Not even my other favorite, u2! Having survived a rape and multiple miscarriages, Tori uses her music as her therapy, and I thank her whole-heartedly for it. Tori is the phoenix rising from the ashes. A true inspiration to women everywhere.
Oprah
This woman came from nothing and look at her now. Her humanitarian efforts, among other things, are inspriring to me.
Lita Ford
When I was a kid, I wanted to be her. *lol* She could rock a guitar, sing, write music and look good while doing all of it. She was one of the original rock chicks.
Michael Sweet of Stryper
I heard his voice at the age of 9 and knew I wanted to sing like that. I have my own vocal style going, but I've been told I'm very good. I thank him for the inspiration.
‡Survivors of all kinds: Whether it's a battle against terminal illness, ignorance and adversity, or fighting for human rights, there are thousands of unsung heroes that deserve to be recognized.
This is a short list. These are the first that came to mind, and these have been on my list for many years. I'm sure I have some new ones, and I'll add them another time.
