HI HI HI SHE'S LOVELY JE L'ADORE
Skeyti is a slums orphan who was taken in by a crazy Chantry sect and rebuilt into the perfect weapon. Eventually I want to give him a lovely arc about atonement and what it means to be a person, but right now he's just a breathing meatsack who exists only to complete the mission assigned to him by his handlers.
There are two ways they could have a plot, I think. He's passed out of the Chantry's hands into a series of individual owners and they're a lot more relaxed about how they use him. Depending on what you want, I could either see him being assigned to kill Adrastia, if they wanted her business out of the way for some reason, or a thread where his handlers actually rent him out and let her borrow him for her own purposes. I'm not sure if she'd be interested in the latter, but if she is he's good use for pretty much anything.
Namarie is my radical nationalist elf who is currently trying to raise support and also maybe an army to retake her homeland. She left with a ton of stolen riches in order to do so, and I could see her going to Adrastia trying to negotiate with the merchant for her to trade with the Seheron rebels and establish a flow of supplies.
Leithian is kind of a long shot, but I'm looking for something to do with her. She's a prickly Dalish mage who left her clan for Reasons Unknown, and is currently trying to survive in the human world, which she isn't very good at. She might be able to slot in as the mage bodyguard from your wanted ad.

ADRASTIA + IDK hi!! adrastia is so cool omg!
okay, so i have eusarius, who is a tevinter magister who likes to travel around and basically impose onto other people for fun. he also likes the finer things, so perhaps adrastia did business with him in the past? i get the impression that they have similar core world views (that people are ultimately expendable?) but i might be wrong? could be interesting to see where this goes!
i also have jenova, a smuggler elf. um, idk, but perhaps they traded in the past? or perhaps jenova tried to basically steal something of adrastia's for a third party and got caught? argh, plotting is hard, and i'm happy to hear alternatives c':
also, i tentatively wanted to make third character, and i saw your wanted page, so we can maybe work something out on that front, too?

Skeyti & Adrastia I kind of like the idea of him being assigned to kill her or perhaps the person she's traveling with! He's stopped and they forcefully bring him along which could tie into another plot, where a Chantry member is trying to hunt him down and Adrastia and her companion can't be bothered to deliver him at this point in time. Adrastia would be riled up someone wants to kill her and that she's put herself into such a position, and probably be very cold and malicious towards him at first, but eventually calm down and perhaps grow fond of him. Mostly because she sees something of herself in him. Skeyti was designed to be the perfect weapon and Adrastia was designed to be the perfect trades/noblewoman. So neither of them really have an identity outside of that.
Namarie So when Namarie first came to her, Adrastia just about laughed her out of the office. But she listened to Namarie's passion and was. Not moved at all. But she found the prospect interesting and found some of what Namarie had to offer worth while. The only issue being she doesn't know where an elf got such goods, but doesn't actually care. So Adrastia did do some light trading. Perhaps Namarie is thankful but also still sort of bitter, because she feels that Adrastia could have done more.
Leithian Unfortunately, I don't think Adrastia would hire a Dalish mage! But I wouldn't mind doing some plotting with these two if we can figure something out. I'm going for a bit of a stretch, but maybe they ended up in the same city/town together. Leithian was being pretty badly bullied and caught Adrastia watching. Later on, they run into each other and Leithian confronts her about just standing there and being a coward or something?? I'm not really sure what this could lead to, but that's my idea!
Eusarius & Adrastia I really like this!! Adrastia definitely views people as expendable. Pretty much everything, even herself, is material value. She was never taught to hold anything precious so learning how to treat anyone as a friend or more than a tool is outside her knowledge.
I think the two of them could have a pretty interesting relation, both being charismatic nobles and all. Some sort of fascinating fake friendship. Frenemies. They talk to each other in the most silken ways and perhaps even have some respect. Adrastia is, after all, in charge of an incredibly wealthy family despite her young age and pretty much everything about Eusarius should be respected. But I imagine when it comes down to it, they don't really like each other. There's this itch that neither of them are entirely what they appear to be.
Perhaps a few of Eusarius' servants and such have been sent to Adrastia's family for whatever reasons and it's been this way for a while? So Eusarius actually knew Adrastia's father before his death.
And now that Adrastia has left to Ferelden, he could be possibly curious about what exactly dragged the Vela daughter away from the comforts of home.
Jenova & Adrastia Ok so why not both. Jenova originally did some trading with Adrastia. I imagine Adrastia's family would have a home in Orlais as is. Perhaps after the death of her father, Adrastia retreated there for a few months. She gathered her bearings and Jenova came to her, offering goods. Adrastia's family does a lot of different trading, generally the material side of things. So since Jenova is a bit of a smuggler, she probably has a few things of value. Later on, though, Jenova tried to break into the home but was caught not by a guard or anyone, but Adrastia.
Adrastia doesn't really look down on people for being a different race, because she's taught to view people by their value. And she felt that Jenova, in the future, probably had some value that was worthwhile. The two of them could have ended up with a very tentative partnership, in which Adrastia isn't afraid to push Jenova's smuggling to its limits?
I'd also super love to discuss that wanted ad with you!!
and i'm tired so sorry if all plots are suck cries

Skeyti That sounds great! Would you rather wait until he's been softened up a little through experiences with his past, or just have a thread with him as he is now? He's kind of...interesting as he is now, I guess, but it would definitely be the more difficult option to thread with, so I'll leave it up to you.
Namarie Ahhhhhh yessss people shooting down Namarie's dreams <33 I thrive on my character's pain, tbh. #evil Would you like to thread out the initial meeting, or skip straight to bitter trading?
Leithian You might have started to grasp that my plotting strategy mostly revolves around asking people questions. Orz. The bullying idea is good though. I want Leithian to get a real taste of how awful humans can be and writing her smug Dalish superiority is fun, so uh. Hell yeah.
And I can start any of these you'd like, especially as I've got most of the weekend off, so just let me know which, if any, I should get to work on.

ADRASTIA + IDK oooh, yes to frenemies!! i just kinda see them speaking pretty much entirely via long-winded psuedo-poetic monologues. sometimes thinly veiled threats. i also really like the idea of eusarius having known adrastia's father. hmm, maybe he sent servants to... learn how to trade? it was, uh, a cultural exchange of sorts, idk. either way, eusarius would have sent a letter full of cursory condolences when the man died. eusarius would totally have a guy in ferelden who would inform him that adrastia was based there now. and of course he would have to drop by and ask a bunch of questions and generally be a bit of a self-aware nuisance.
omg, how do you come up with such good plot ideas?! i like this, too! jenova would be all pouty and resentful at being caught out, but she'd inwardly be happy at being, well, left alive, basically. even happier at someone paying her for her work.
but yes, this all sounds good. i'll go ahead and add you on skype then, if that's okay! let me know if you'd like me to start anything but then you can't judge me for a crappy opener, or feel free to start a thread! c: |

i just realized that the reason why it takes me forever to respond to plotters is because i really hate using the template
cries the only idea that i can really think of atm is maybe freya trying to buy crow venom off of her, since andrastia is antivan right. they could get into a bartering match or smth. other than that, they might have met if andrastia has ever been to an orlesian ball a few years ago. then freya would have been buying rubies and perfume. she doesn't regret her descent, not really. the gaze from above has always amplified the ugliness below.
honestly i know...so little about her that merchant-related plots are ... the best i can offer orz im sorry
maybe alya has pawned a near-priceless dalish artifact to her in the past. she's definitely been in a pickle before the wardens picked her up, and maybe they meet so that alya can buy back the amulet. whether andrastia is going to way overcharge her or not is up to you lol.
mark is...kind of poor as shit but if they are ever headed in the same direction he doesn't really mind helping to defend her stuff for a cup of soup

ADRASTIA + MAEVE HI so it's late/early and all I can really think of is that my elf here is in val royaeux and has lived there her entire life so maybe while Adrastia/her family was in orlais they could've run into each other? I ... kind of doubt it would've been a pleasant encounter considering all but a) who knows and b) what's a story without a little conflict anyway
ADRASTIA + JAY umm i have a lot of jay threads right now but eventually i think this could be fun? it could start easily enough if adrastia hires jay/her merc group family and just go from there? idk someone who counts the worth of people + a mercenary just sounds interesting to me
ADRASTIA + DECIMA probably another eventually considering decima has no inclination to go anywhere near ferelden idt, but this is also another possibly interesting thread? decima is a flat out tevinter slaver so like, if you're comfortable with that it could be interesting to play off of the similarities/differences here and see just how well they would or wouldn't get along?
