Back on a good writing clip in Pathfinder. Re-watched a bunch of episodes that allowed me to end Hank's arc and poke at Diana's. Hank's character continues to deepen and fascinate me because there are two types of Lawful Good characters: there's the Two Dimensional Goody Two Shoes, and the Repressed Rage I Am Using To Enforce Order On An Orderless World, and Hank is obviously option two. And I feel like that's a distinction that is really easy for people that have played Tabletop RPGs to make, and harder for a lot of people who haven't-- because when alignment is enforced, when it can't be changed arbitrarily, it becomes a much more dynamic, integral part of how you play or write that character. The question is no longer about doing the right thing because it's the right thing. It becomes something the character must do for the Universe to make sense. And that catapults them from two dimensional to three.
