This is what they call, a [hero](http://tvtropes.org/Main/TheHero). Or as not all MC's are hero's the [Protagonist](http://tvtropes.org/Main/TheProtagonist). They tend to [take the bullet](http://tvtropes.org/Main/TakingTheBullet), make the [heroic sacrifice](http://tvtropes.org/Main/HeroicSacrifice) and until their [plot driven armor](http://tvtropes.org/Main/StoryDrivenInvulnerability) worn out, they will keep doing so.
