I don't think I'd use any of those adjectives. An nitiator is someone who starts something or introduces something new--could be a game, could be a project, could be the kid who always has an idea of something to do when everyone else is bored. Could be a new way to do something at work. Depending on the context, it could also be someone who started a fight or an argument, someone who might have a quick temper and be quick to react. But that's kind of a specialized meaning and definitely not the connotation in all contexts. And that doesn't really fit his adjectives either.

Thanks username, waiting for my friend reply
This is important, what does the following mean,
username is an initiator.
Does that mean he's brave, plucky defiant or valiant? can it be right?

Well, of course, username is plucky, brave, valiant, and defiant. That goes without saying. That's just the way he is. But it has nothing to do with his being an initiator.

Initiator is not really a word that's used very mcuh in English. It's known generally, but probably not in wide day-to-day usage. To the extent it has any sort of connotations of character, it's probably when it's used to describe someone who starts a fight, who's alleged to be quick to anger and angers others. That's not plucky, valiant, or brave Could conceivably be defiant, but not necessarily. And that's only one, pretty rare, usage of the word.
