The Hero Skin, is a skin acquired after the "Player" reaches 5000 Humanity.
The Hero Skin will allow the player to initially run slightly faster than Survivors and Bandits prior to panting. Once winded they will run at similar speeds meaning that heroes make good short range sprinters. It also features a bulletproof vest that protects the play from low level bullets, such as Makarov rounds, and will let you only take one half zombie damage.
