It's always funny when people call Vax and Percy the edgy sadboys of campaign 1 as if they're remotely on the same level. Like, Vax is an earnest goober who loves everyone in this bar but just happens to be a bit depressed. Percy is a demonically possessed slo-mo trainwreck fueled by grief and PTSD who got rejected by the god of death for being too emo. They are not the same.
honestly the Raven Queen stuff is one of the funniest things about Vax & Percy because when Vax first met RQ he called her a bitch while proposing a Faustian bargain and she decided to make him her eternal champion, meanwhile Percy rolled up like "Good Evening, your Divine Highness, may I Pretty Please ask for your Holy Wisdom about my whole Soul Crushing Grief situation/" and she was like "Holy shit you are a fucked up little bastard! Stop contaminating my blood pit, weirdo!"
