For Dave: no, he'd operate the guillotine. A nice, neutral specialist just like Charles-Henri Sanson.

He'd be offed early on, as he whimpered pathetically about having due process, and the punishment fitting the crime, and not being based on mere status, and so on. In a word he'd be one of the guys who started the revolution that would be quickly consumed by it, by those more ruthless and sanguinary than he.

No, because Torie always has an exit plan and no one can breach the perimeter of Fortified Hudson.

Too smart and eloquent for her own good, like Madame Roland or Olympe de Gouges.

Probably. He'd start off on the same side as the Revolution but eventually run afoul of it for disagreeing with the mob.

Given the Revolution's anti-clerical character, it's only natural.

As long as he has no ties to nobility, he's safe.

Yeah, bland moderate heroes tend to be the first to go in times of revolutionary fervor.

I have had many insults thrown my way, but never have I ever been accused of being boring or bland before now.

I think it does describe you pretty well, but it wasn't meant as an insult per se. Sorry if it came across that way.

Uh, duh.  Wouldn't be the literal first against the wall, but would be killed pretty quickly after the jacobins took over for defending millionaires and billionaires.

Obvs. Probably several times over, just to be sure. Too much of a potential rival to existing revolutionary groups.

No.

Crumpets would talk his way out of an ISIS beheading.
