A.N. — Here's an early present for tomorrow's birthday boy: his favorite hero! It is a shared birthday, though, and that other fellow will have to wait until the 17th for his turn. But today is all about the Chivalrous Hero who inspired the next generation.

288. Crimson Riot

Crimson Riot emphasized his messaging over muscle.

He felt it was important that a hero whose quirk was judged as 'strong' advocated that a person's willpower was the most essential quality for heroism. His hair could harden to the point of invulnerability, but his heart would always be open to the plight of others.

If his supposed recklessness came up, Crimson Riot eloquently, if enthusiastically, explained his manly spirit to the doubter. He charged into danger at the risk of his own life, because how could he call himself a hero if he didn't value innocent lives over his own?
