plot with me, please. The monsters inside of men, what it is to be a person, memory and dissociation, being rebuilt and rebuilt again and again and what is essential/intrinsic vs what isn't, sad brainwashed assassins and those who love them. That's what I'm trying to write, ahahahahaha.
All I know about my character so far is that about a decade and a half ago, he was somehow taken in and brainwashed and remade into an assassin by a powerful sect within the Chantry who wanted a way to eliminate those they viewed as enemies of the Maker, those who would prevent the Chant of Light from spreading all over the world. Given the uselessness of the previous Divine of the Chantry, I think it's fairly reasonable to assume most high ranking figures within the church were doing whatever they wanted for the last part of her rule; when Justinia V took over, he ended up in someone else's hands. Who they are, and how and why I'm still not sure of.
What I really want for his plot is a childhood best friend he grew up with before being remade, and a current handler who is tasked with using him as an effective tool. I have no idea where he's from or what his real name is or how/why he was captured by the Chantry; I can hammer that out with anyone who picks up his childhood best friend if you want, or I can come up with it myself and we can work from there. The handler can be anyone, affiliated with any organization; I don't care who he works for currently, as long as it makes sense. Neither does he, honestly. He's a bit of a mess. coded by electric of gangnam style

so, like, i meant to throw something at you when you posted this but i got busy and forgot oops. i'm really sorry!! as it is i'm not sure if this will actually help you but /shrugs
so i might be doing some kind of terrible mathing here but maeve would've been about 9 when he was taken? i'm not sure if that'll work for you but he could've been one of her rare human friends from when she was young. or something? i don't know. if we go with this it could either make her stumble in her hating all humans thing or reinforce it ~who knows until we try~.
i can't think of anything great for throwing decima or jay at him but if you can think of something that gets your muse working go right ahead and mention it and i'm sure we can work something out! CODED BY ELECTRIC OF GANGNAM STYLE

i was thinking about this really hard this week but i kept forgetting to actually post here. oops.
yo i got like nothing that's extremely permanent going on with freya as far as long term plans are concerned. how interested are you in slotting her as a temporary handler? maybe the last one died or smth really suddenly and they're still scrambling to get a replacement.
in the meantime, they've hired a young woman who isn't formally a part of any major organization (which means less liability in case skeyti turns on her). i mean she's also been groomed to kill since her teenage years, and being an assassin herself probably doesn't hurt if she needs to evaluate him or something. the chantry can probably pay well enough for freya to have few objections, and i can see her using the opportunity as a way of figuring out if she's still capable of compartmentalizing her emotions like she used to.
spoiler alert: she will probably become more fond of him than she is supposed to and shit will probably go down eventually (if that is up your alley)

freya sounds good as a temporary handler. they would probably use her as like you know how people launder money? they would basically do that with her and their ownership of skeyti, to distance themselves from him in any internal investigations. she wouldn't dictate or choose his missions, but she'd probably be responsible for a number of things, including supervising the mages who prep him for missions and who also handle him after a mission is completed, transporting him to locations and extracting him, and filing reports on both his physical and mental status/continued efficiency as a weapon.
also ofc the latter bit is right up my alley. as he gets more of himself back (i hope) from interactions from maeve, that might be interesting to see as well.

"you know how people launder money" yes that is essentially who i meant since freya doesn't...really have anyone that she necessarily wants dead. not being particularly fanatical to the chantry doesn't score points on that front either. i think she would prefer the laundering money analogy anyway. man im getting ALL the winter soldier vibes from this im literally imagining him as anime bucky barnes rn and im not sorry oh man i am super excited about them developing a more personal relationship like...maybe i wouldn't call it a friendship but a Thing? maybe freya composes music for if he ever loses his shit and they have days where they just.......chill out......idk i like fluffy relationships with the undercurrent of UTTERLY FUCKED UP oh shit mom is taking me away b UT FEEL FREE TO ADD STUFF... OR START A THREAD...
