Maybe your character was The Cape, but fell on bad times. Maybe he was an Anti-Hero who made a mistake and went flying off the slippery slope. They could even be a Villain Protagonist or Anti-Villain who is interested in redemption, either because they've kept their standards, or because they've been in conflict with an even worse villain and shown hints that there might be some good left in them after all. Whatever the case may be, the character is in a bad place but wants to do better, and they are granted one final chance to do so, usually in the form of a grand, nearly impossible task. Maybe they're being asked to prevent The End of the World as We Know It, or to cure The Virus, or to stop the Evil Overlord. They may not be expected to live through this, but if they can pull it off, no one can say that they haven't cleared their name, regained their honor, or insured an afterlife in good old Fluffy Cloud Heaven. (That said, you may wind up with a case of Redemption Earns Life instead.) Sometimes done in a quieter way as Character Development in a non-fantasy setting, where a character is looking to undo a past mistake or wrong to a love one that has haunted them or caused misery for people around them. Also known to happen in Sports Movies, where a character may see one last great year or performance as a redemption of their prior deeds or careers. A Sub-Trope of The Hero's Journey and Must Make Amends. Usually follows a Heel Realization, Nice Job Breaking It, Hero or someone saying What the Hell, Hero?. Naturally, a staple of The Atoner. An alternative to Redemption Equals Death. Often a result of Go and Sin No More. Contrast Protagonist Journey to Villain and Redemption Failure. |

Megamind: The titular character, who started out as a villain due to past experiences and growing up with not having the best role models or life experiences. Only throughout the events of the film, (some of the events being of his own fault) he slowly begins to become a superhero and takes Metro Man's place as Metro City's main hero. | |

ParaNorman looks like a typical zombie invasion triggered by a witch's curse until it's revealed that the zombies recognize that they've done something horrible and are putting themselves through a great deal of pain in order to find someone who can help the "witch" they killed (really an innocent 11-year-old girl) to move on. | |

The Replacements (2000) a Keanu Reeves comedy football movie, has this happening to Reeves' character Shane Falco. Falco had notoriously choked in the final game of his college career, and performed miserably in his little time as a pro, so this last chance at the game represents a chance for him to erase that image. At the same time, the film makes it clear that none of the replacement players, including Falco, became permanent professional players and went back to their original jobs (in one case, back to prison). This is despite the fact that they've accomplished what the original highly-paid "superstars" couldn't. | |

Umineko: When They Cry This is pretty much what Kinzo's life turned into after him raping his daughter, her giving birth to Yasu and Yasu being thrown off the cliff by Natsuhi. He desperately wants to be able to say he's sorry and give Yasu his/her grandmother's gold. In an example of Redemption Equals Death, the moment Yasu manages to solve the riddle and Kinzo can say he's sorry, he dies. | |

All their attempts at redeeming the former star fail, resulting in a fan being strangled, a woman losing her hands and racist remarks being made on live television. Mr. Frog finally redeems himself by apologizing on live television... and then eating his former producer. | |

Marika's route in the fandisc of Princess Evangile doubles as this, as she learns to forgive herself while also getting closer to Masaya.

Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show serves as this for Eddy; first, he is forced to confront and admit the fact that his selfish and jerkass tendencies are unhealthy and at risk of costing him the only two friends he has, and then he admits to everyone in the Cul-de-sac that the only reason he acts like a jerk is because his brother did; he thought that his brother was "respected" and "liked" by the other kids (when in actuality they were afraid of him), and that if he acted like his brother, then the other kids would like him. Once the illusion falls off, he's finally accepted and forgiven by the other kids. | |

Carmen Sandiego: Carmen Sandiego, started her life raised by V.I.L.E. faculty, but upon her revelation that stealing isn't a game and people are hurt by thievery, she turns against the only family she has known. Unbeknownst to Carmen, one of her teachers, Shadowsan, is the one who found her and brought her to the island after the death of her father when her father tried to leave V.I.L.E. Shadowsan was there to kill him, but other forces were pursuing him and shot him. Shadowsan secretly never wanted her to join as he could see the inner goodness in Carmen and to respect her father's desire to keep her away from V.I.L.E. When Carmen escapes the island, it became the impetus for Shadowsan's own redemption quest. He first tries to join Carmen in her escape, but his pretense to run after her boat with sword drawn scares her to not trusting him. By the start of Season 2, Shadowsan joins Carmen officially and uses his intimate knowledge of V.I.L.E. to help Carmen destroy the criminal empire. Along the way, Shadowsan reveals more of his own past and further sins he seeks to atone for regarding his own family. | |

Subverted by Miko in The Order of the Stick. After she falls from paladinhood because she killed Shojo she thinks that she can be redeemed by doing what the gods want of her. The problem, as it is explained by Soon's ghost before she dies, that she never actually atoned for her wrongdoings or considered that she'd done the wrong thing. | |

This is a suggested plot thread for renegade Abyssal Exalts in Exalted. Redeeming the Abyssal Exaltation back into its original Solar form is explicitly possible- just very, very difficult. So difficult, in fact, that any PC who manages it will be, in the canonical setting, the first ever redeemed Abyssal. | |

Similar to the Avatar example, in TwoKinds, Keith is sent into exile for killing his father (though this was more to keep his father's good name intact by avoiding a trial) and the only way he can return is to bring back the human Grand Templar with him (which is supposed to be an Impossible Task). He succeeds, though mostly by accident (he'd long since befriended Trace when the group discovered he was the missing Grand Templar) | |

Dungeons & Dragons Plothook #309: "The cleric tells you that before he will cast atonement on you, he wants you to do this for him, to prove your remorse is genuine..." This was a suggested method of restoring a character of an alignment-restricted class who broke his code, in earlier editions; the Player's Handbook specifically refers to fallen Rangers having to seek atonement through deeds. Paladins both play it straight and avert it: if one commits a Chaotic act, she loses her powers and must go on a Redemption Quest, but if she commits an Evil act in 1st or 2nd Edition, she loses her powers and no amount of redemption questing will ever bring them back. Third Edition made it possible to Atone (via Atonement, as noted above) for committing an Evil act, and toned down the restriction on Chaotic acts so that it only applies for severe breaches of the Paladin's Code or being enough to shift the Paladin away from Lawful Good (both also solvable via Atonement). |

Vampire: The Masquerade had Golconda, a state where the vampire no longer has the impulse to kill people and only needs minimal blood to live eternally. The exact ways of achieving it have always been left up to the individual Game Master but the general recommendation was to make it an epic quest, throughout which the vampire in question has to feel remorse for her past sins and make amends as best as she can. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Initially inverted when Prince Zuko's Evil Overlord father banished him for not being evil enough, with a hopeless Redemption Quest to capture the Avatar being Zuko's only means of ending that banishment. Zuko's true redemption quest then comes when he realizes how worthless the redemption his father offered is and instead pulls a Heel–Face Turn in season 3, and sets out to train the Avatar to help him overthrow his father. Aang and Sokka set out to redeem themselves for (different) failings in the third season. Keep an eye out for the telltale (shared) line, "I have to restore my honor." |

In the sequel, Aladdin: The Return of Jafar, Iago leaves his master's side and fakes a Heel–Face Turn to gain Aladdin's trust. However, Iago grows to like Aladdin and his friends since they don't mistreat him they way Jafar did, to the point that he reforms and helps them defeat Jafar for good. He remains with the group as their Token Evil Teammate until the end of Aladdin and the King of Thieves, when he joins Cassim to travel the world. | |

From A Song of Ice and Fire, while not originally intended as such, as Jaime Lannister was still his arrogant and scumbag self and Catelyn saw him as beyond redemption, his quest to return the Stark girls became this, after being inspired by Brienne's example and losing his hand in a massive Break the Haughty moment. Afterwards, he gains a genuine desire to be an honorable Knight in Shining Armor again and return the Stark girls to Catelyn to repay Brienne and atone for his many horrible acts. While this doesn't work out, he is going to every length imaginable to keep his oath to never raise his sword against a Stark or Tully again. Similarly, Theon Greyjoy spends most of book 5 trying to rescue Arya Stark, who is actually Jeyne Poole, from the Boltons in order to atone for betraying Robb Stark and causing the Red Wedding. Barristan Selmy considers his service to Danareys Targaryen to be atonement for failing to protect her father, Aerys Targaryen, during Robert's Rebellion. Or maybe it's for rescuing him from the Defiance of Duskendale, the Start of Darkness moment after which Aerys began to truly earn his epithet, "the Mad King." Either way, he begins to believe that Jaime Lannister (In-Series Nickname: "The Kingslayer") may have been correct to kill Aerys, and desires to serve a ruler who is worthy of the "My Master, Right or Wrong" trope. |

Infinity Train Cult of the Conductor, follows Cracked Reflection's minor antagonists Grace and Simon of the Apex, introduced as passengers who rampage the train and terrorize the inhabitants. As they find themselves separated from their followers and journey the train to find them, they learn certain truths that begin to affect their worldview. Grace is at first established as the worse of the cult leaders due to her Toxic Friend Influence to Simon and her lies about knowing how the train works. Throughout Book 3, accompanied by Hazel as a Morality Pet, Grace ends up confronted by her past and comes to terms with the consequences of her actions along with Simon's eventual betrayal and death. In the end, she resigns from the Apex and begins helping her former followers find a way off the train. | |

Blue Devil in Shadowpact is assigned a Redemption Quest by the Catholic Church, to make up for selling his soul for fame in Underworld Unleashed - which led to the death of his friend Marla - and also to try and counter the message of a guy who sold his soul and subsequently gained demonic power being a high-profile superhero. It later turned out the Church couldn't do anything to help him... after he completed all the quests. | |

A common plot in Warhammer 40,000 fluff is the "Penitent Crusade", undertaken by Space Marines who've majorly screwed up in one way or another. They typically involve recovering some lost relic of their Chapter and/or diving headfirst into someplace infested with Chaos/Xenos/something else nasty. These are typically started with the expectation of being a Suicide Mission, but Space Marines being Space Marines, they find a way to survive anyway, often as not. | |

James Gibson's stay in Ring of Honor was largely this. He wanted to be seen as a great wrestler again, after being repeatedly humiliated on television, and decided he was going to wrestle the best in the world until he got one of their title belts. | |
