I need for a post...

...an individual, real or fictional, of exceeding, unwavering faith in humanity despite any and all evidence to the contrary, to serve as a pretend SI unit for the measurement of, oddly enough, faith in humanity.

(Also, I need a champion for a quest. Who among you...)

It's kinda borderline, but perhaps Kayley (from Firefly/Serenity)?

And this one is probably far less well known, but more appropriate for your requirements, but Elan from Order of the Stick (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots.html) might fit the bill.

Kaylee is a bit fuzzy on the Faith In Humanity aspect, but she could easily be the emotional counterpart to, say, the Candela unit :)
