what element of their backstory are you proudest of?
do they see value in the laws of where they live?
for Fley hohoho
1. Ohhhh boy hmm *looks at the three pages of detailed backstory from birth to 35 years old*, while I do love the “gaslight gatekeeper girlboss” arc of Fley’s past, because I love me some good corruption-like arc, I think my favorite bit is the event that set them off on the campaign. The sheer drama of the murder framing, and the time locked up knowing they’d be executed, and the way I picture the eventual escape in my mind (I spoke only vaguely about it and not about all of it… I think that part is soo cinematic.
2. There is… some value in the laws of Trygghast, Fley thinks, but in their original conception and not how they are now. A society based on merit and innovation is great in theory, but only if everyone truly has the same opportunities from the start, and well, Trygghast is the opposite of it.
