Name: Ammmy Other Characters: Julius, Cosima, Vanya, Siegfried (and Antoine coming soon)
CHARACTER
Name: Ser Ryan Hiss Race: Human Nationality: Fereldan Mage?: No Age: 35 Affiliation: Fereldan nobility Occupation: Advisor/crony About: Ryan is loosely inspired by two sources: Sir Hiss of Disney's Robin Hood (1973) and well-known striver Ryan Bigcity. Given these characters' demonstrated ambition, cleverness, and dedication to getting ahead, they seemed naturally complimentary when building my own take on the guy whispering in a figurehead's ear.
While I expect to refine Ryan's approach via voice testing, his elevator pitch is something along the lines of "aspiring Grima Wormtongue but make it fashion." Ryan has the ear of a significant Bann who was a rejected candidate for Queen Anora's hand. (If you have a handy NPC in mind, I'm open, but you know I never mind making a new guy.) Ryan has been working for the past several years to help maneuver his boss into a more powerful position; recently, he's started thinking beyond Ferelden's borders. By volunteering to join Riftwatch, Ryan hopes to feed geopolitical information of note back home. If he can get any tips on dealing with a boss who is obsessed with his mom and still occasionally sucks his thumb, all the better.
Though Ryan's motives are inherently selfish ones, he will do his best on any assignment he receives and will actively work to make connections with other Riftwatch agents (especially those with leveragable social positions). He is inherently hardworking and will give 110% at all times. Given his sneaky nature, Scouting seems like a natural fit. Ryan is a devout Andrastian, but will tolerate working with those who are not (while privately judging them) at least to a point. He is not graceful at dealing with perceived disrespect or condescension.
Is Ryan Hiss just a non-mage AU Julius? I hope not, but that's part of what the voice test is meant to determine, to be totally frank.
