BLOG BASICS
This is a PRIVATE & MUTUAL EXCLUSIVE roleplay blog for Garrett from Thief (2014). I only write threads with mutuals, but anyone can send in prompts; I tend to follow back without much hesitation, but reasons I may not follow back are a) I didn't see you followed me, b) I'm not familiar with your fandom/you didn't have an about/rules pages, or c) you're a personal blog/post too much ooc/are a NSFW blog. If I didn't follow you back but you want to become mutuals feel free to send me an ask (off anon & civiliy, of course) & we'll see if we can figure something out.
I am open to having "mains" & "exclusives, so long as it mutual between both parties. Though I generally detest the practice of exlusives/mains I do feel the need to be honest about the fact that, as a writer, I will write what I am motivated to write, & in Tumblr RP that sometimes means acknoweldging that there are blogs I am prone to be closer to or more productive with, i.e. mains. Still, do not be afraid to approach me about roleplaying even if I do have mains or exclusivity.
ACTIVITY
Due to real life & the fact I run multiple RP blogs here on tumblr this account is on LOW ACTIVITY. Though I am interested & invested in this portrayal please understand that I may not display consistent activity on this blog; I may be inactive for periods of time, but rest assured I will return eventually & will post updates on my expected activity outlook, threads, etc when I am able.
FORMATTING & REPLIES
Typically I write a few sentences to multiple paragraphs, but mostly I try to stay within 1-2 medium paragraphs. Unless we've discussed it I most likely won't exceed 5 paragraphs in a reply. I do not require my partners to match length, just give me enough to build my reply off of. If I find I can't make a decent reply to yours I will let you know, & if you have any problems with my replies you should do the same.
I use formatting (small text, symbol embellishments, etc.) but if this becomes too difficult for you to read please let me know. I'm likely not going to use icons very much, but you are free to. Also, please cut your posts & turn asks into new threads! I don't mind if you don't, or can't, but it would be great if you could.
ON SHIPPING & NSFW
I'm not really here to ship, & I honestly don't see Garrett engaging in sexual or romantic relationships. I personally headcanon him as asexual, but that doesn't I'm not open to the prospect of shipping, if it is within reason. While on my other blogs I don't typically folow the "chemistry" rule on this account I will, so if we find our characters have chemistry then it is possible we may start a ship together. Just don't come to me looking for a ship, because you're likely not going to find one.
Besides romantic & sexual relationships, I'm open to writing pre-determined relationships; & remember that a ship isn't solely romantic, I want all sorts of relationships, from brotp to hateship to mentor/student & brother/sister dynamics. I am more than willing to explore different types of ships, & know that even if we already have a ship I'm up for writing new relationships in new universes!
DRAMA POLICYI do not condone anon hate, callout posts, excessive negative ooc posts (unless they're tagged & under a readmore), passive aggressive posts, or hate/opinion blogs. If you start drama, post drama, or are actively involved in drama I will unfollow you, no questions asked. Does this mean I don't care about racism, sexism, homophobia, callout culture or other fandom issues? No. It means that I'm here to have fun, enjoy myself, escape real life, & want to maintain a positive space.
So please, tag your posts as 'drama' or 'fandom wank' or so it can be blacklisted. Please remember to respect others & their ideals. I also ask that you tag politics, spiders, current events, excessive gore/body horror, all nsfw, & posts about suicide or self-harm. Thank you, I appreciate your cooperation.

I will be your sword & shield
When Kaeyonari is sent by the Antivan Crows to kill the Inquisitor, Atreion Lavellan, but fails the Inquisition decides to take him prisoner, promising his eventual release if he uses his skills for the Inquisition. Grudgingly he accepts, but as he serves he begins to realize how corrupt his life was with the House of Crows. Even as he & the Inquisitor butt heads they soon foster understanding, & from that blooms an unexpected romantic involvement. While Atreion struggles with his true feelings for the assassin & resorts to drinking back in Antiva Arya, the apprentice Kaey had left behind, begins to train under his mentor, Allequor. Eventually Atreion comes to terms with the relationship, & despite Kaey's misgivings about his loyalty to the Crows he begins to warm up to the Herlad of Andraste's affections. Arya begins to experience the abuse Kaey had as a recruit, & as she trains under Allequor is manipulated into believing her old mentor had betrayed her, leaving her to suffer at the hands of Allequor. Slowly Atreion begins to convince Kaey that he can find freedom with the Inquisition, & doesn't need to return to the House of Crows, while Arya is sent on a new mission: kill Kaeyonari. While away from Skyhold Arya approaches their camp, & making believe she had run like she & Kaey had always talked about makes Kaey feel secure enough to take her back with them. Confused by his care & affection Arya struggles with her emotions & wonders if she could even kill him, knowing he was happy with Atreion and still cared about her unlike Allequor had said. She decides to approach the Inquisitor & tell him of her conract, hoping he would kill her to protect Kaeyonari. Instead he leaves to find the assassin, who waves aside the incident in favor of finding his apprentice. Tracking her to the woods outside the Keep they manage to find an agreement, Arya deciding to stay with him & Atreion. Together the three of them find a suitable living arrangement, & with Arya's blessing Kaey & Atreion remain involved, eventually deciding to get married after the Inquisition had finished its work.
to find comfort in my pain

Accepting this Emily they begin to develop a friendship, Kaey offering a promise of freedom at night after she had finished her duties as Empress. Eventually this leads to a romantic involvement, their relationship a secret kept even from the Royal Spymaster, until it isn't. To keep the events of Corvo & Jessamine's similar relationship from repeating he assigns Kaey to a post in Tyvia for five years, hoping it would be enough time for Emily to lose her interest in him. Instead, when Kaeyonari returns their reationship is renewed & only strengthened by their time spent apart, proving to Corvo their affections & loyalty to each other.
its a special death you saved
Kaeyonari grew up in the Tevinter Imperium, the son of a slave & Dalish elf; when his twin sister, Illenar, begins to show promise with magic the two are separated from their mother. Kaey is taken in by House Mettius, while his sister's education as a mage is paid for by the family. Given to the head of the household guard, Petra, she begins to train him as a magekiller & assassin. While his sister learns to control her magic he learns how to kill, & by time they're older both are sworn to the service of Magister Mettius & his family.

A long-time soldier Ian decides to take his role back to Seheron, bringing Kaey to be used as a weapon against the Qunari.

got a strange magic

Illenar joined the military & Kaey dropped out of community college to be his own person. Then came the letter: a distant relative of his absent father had died, leaving his worldly belongings to the closest living relative, which happened to be Kaey. He decides to take up his relative's old bookstore in the city, sharing the corner with a small cafe & bakery. Kaey lives in the loft above & makes meager money renting & selling books, all while remaining caught up in his own world, alone. Until the day he meets Eliot, the owner of the cafe next store, & finds himself unwittingly enthralled by the mortal man's charms.
