Quinn!!!
GREAT choice. I'm loving how the newer Iconic backstories are beginning to tie the others together. Nice work, John and Paizo! :D

When I read Quinn's name in the blog I actually yelled out loud in surprised.
I now want to see a Quinn discovers Red Ravens identity scene.

Will his iconic mini come with wine glass in hand?
And the hits just keep coming!

Dueling by night, "dueling" by later night!
Ooo. Very nice. Glad to see another Iconic tied in too. Now if only Ultimate intrigue would ship sooner....

I take back what I said last time -- Quinn and the Red Raven NEED to team up now!
This feels like such a Galt-appropriate origin, and definitely makes the Red Raven more sympathetic than the Unreliable Narrator of the last Meet the Iconics made him out to be. He's a character I'm excited to see more of in the campaign setting -- maybe something special in the Pathfinder Comics line, hmm? :)
Thank the Heavens you didn't pull a Clark Kent on us :P
(Seriously, wearing glasses to cover your identity is dumb XD )

You should know this only fuels my desire to play a Galt-themed AP.

I don't think Geppa would like that.

Brilliant story! I really like that not only have you got compelling and good reasons for Aric to have a different alignment as the Red Raven, but you also have given a reason for his changed costume. All tied up in a way that makes perfect sense. Seriously well done!

Well at least we know he has the dead parents trait.

So I'm guessing Aric is LG and Red Raven is LN?

I'm thinking NG and LN. Aric's civilian persona seems concerned primarily with goodness, and I don't think that making existing systems just is important to him (compare with Quinn, Ace Attorney).

The red raven. A hero that served the revolution and tried to bring justice and peace, only to discover that he had merely replaced evil with another. That conflict, of having tried to save a city, only to condemn it with their actions, is what makes a compelling character.
Their flaws and their virtues combine to paint a picture of the man behind the mask. One that is more than the cloaked sentinel of the night.

*Cue 1960's-esque Red Raven theme song complete with visualized sound effects when people get punched.*

I'm going pretty sure Red Raven is CN, as that was his original alignment before the vigilante class was released, but I'm not sure about Aric. Definitely good, I'd probably go with NG or CG.

Sounds like material for a good comic...

Well, there is the Pathfinder comic book series :P

So Quinn (love the Investigator class!) redeems Aric/Red Raven?! "And there was much rejoicing..." Seriously, that is VERY cool. I was rather bummed to read the Red Raven's original intro and disappointed in his support of tyranny. Now we know that was in the past....and hopefully stays there.

Quinn and Red Raven need to be in a Galtese AP together, The End of Terror the end of the Red Revolution and the stabilization of Galt.
I love it!

+1 for a Galt AP.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Oh better yet an AP where you work to overthrow the most recent government along with the grey gardeners to establish a new council of your own control that depending on how well you do shows how much you've stabilized Galt.
Character traits that also deal with why the PCs want to end the revolution or take power for themselves, or become the fantasy Napoleon halfling cavalier.
^I guess if you wanted another Evil AP that soon after Hell's Vengeance . . . .

YES MUCH WANT GALT AP PLEASE DO!
However, similar to some other iconics, there's not really any way that this is the backstory of a level 1 character. Still great though!
This is definitely one of my very favourite entries.
Let me add my own vote in for an AP that allows the PCs to try to save Galt from the Red Revolution and the Gray Gardeners.
Especially one that settles a very intriguing hotbed of potential adventure....doubt that will happen. No AP to overthrow Thrune, so why expect such for the Terror? An AP in Galt would be nice, though.
A great bit of writing. Thanks :)

The Department of Managing Expectations says: curb your enthusiasm for a Galt AP for foreseeable future.
I understand the reasoning, but at the same time that just makes it feel even more clear that by making the revolutionary AP about Cheliax we kinda wasted an opportunity. I love Cheliax but we already get a lot of it.

Not much of a "hotbed of potential adventure" if we never see it. We get a ton of Cheliax stories between PFS and other adventures, I can't think of anything that puts us in Galt.
