Unrelatedly: in GW2, I needed a grandmaster chef (for multiple reasons, including crafting my mother's legendary), and the only character who had a slot empty was my stealthy, dagger-wielding thief who is 100% a spy/assassin for the Order of Whispers in my head.

She has many skills, okay.

#i use her almost entirely for crafting feasts / gifts / using the cooking station's bank to charge a quartz crystal #bc she's human it's quite easy to craft in her home instance #(my mother tried it with a sylvari ... rip)#but i do find her really entertaining in concept #also i might continue my trend of 'wildly non-canonical au version' of the personal story with my headcanon for her #she's ascalonian as usual of course but her backstory implies that she used to be a bandit before defecting some time earlier #it's pretty clear that she got thoroughly disaffected with the whole bandit deal awhile back though #and has been trying to get her friends to leave too #but hasn't actually gone out into non-dr kryta when the story starts so???#but i like the shady past theme and the idea of some kind of intermediary step between 'bandit gangster' and 'hero of shaemoor'#and suddenly i thought 'what if she was a separatist??'#not like althea or even elwin or devona in pro patria—the real deal #at that point it wasn't 'looking out for me and my friends' but trying to help her people #but she was actually doing a lot of the same things (and also was the cook for her cell lol—she makes a mean ascalonian salad)#and ultimately couldn't live with it and went back to visit her mother in dr and left for shaemoor not long afterwards #as a chance to help people for real (and without indiscriminate terrorism!)#yes i choose to believe this and i like it a lot #anghraine babbles #anghraine's gaming #ascalonian grudgeblog #deep blogging #long post #(for the tags)
