Character building 16 and 25
Elayne von Valancius: Rogue Trader Character Building ask game
[16.]
- What is Elayne’s Archetype?
She’s an Operative/Assassin who possesses a mind of an analyst and does what she do best: she’s an adept of reading people, determining their strong sides and weaknesses, then using this for her advantage to strike with the most precision.
[25.]
- Wildcard: Share a fun fact, random thought, or headcanon about her!
Ohhhh, I love it, let’s go random facts! :D When Elayne overheard that encrypted conversation exchange between Heinrix and his agent Achilleas Scalander, it surely peaked her curiosity and she couldn’t get it out of her head. She found it fascinating and has been almost certain she cracked the code of what they were talking about, so being a highly intellectual individual the encrypted manner intrigued her.
And as they got close enough, Heinrix introduced to her his form of glossia that Elayne quickly picked up. They from now on often used their own glossia cipher that they’ve been developing further together on the go, when conversing something they deem private or communicating while on a missions, making up a new metaphoric patterns and constructions every time which both of them understand by heart.
P.S btw also lately I’ve been enjoying Dan Abnett’s ’Inquisitor’ series SOOO MUCH I’m really digging it. And ’Eisenhorn’ trilogy is just insanely good! Please read it if you didn’t yet and if you love Rogue Trader’s narrative and Heinrix writing especially, it has a similar feel fr.
And it touches topic of the use of glossia really extensively and it’s been used quite often throughout the novels, in case if you’re also curious how does it work. I just fell in love with it’s linguistics formation and I headcanon their glossia form would be even more poetic!
