and if you don't have a canon that you play from, just pick one that you like
Hmmmm. Nasir, before he hooked up with Agron and lost his Edge
i feel like you would be the bitchiest jiang cheng this website has ever seen. which also seems like fate, because his live action drama actor, wang zhuocheng, chose "marius wang" as his english name because he's theatre kid trash and loves les mis

we love him
he's also extremely pathetic and cries prettily and loves his nephew, aka his only remaining family after the rest of his family was wiped out by a really shitty confluence of events involving the protagonist, wei wuxian, my special little guy jin guangyao, and a totaly unrelated grudge
in the drama he's also got a tragic doomed romance with a woman named wen qing, they never get together despite obviously wanting to, and she also performs non-con surgery on him. romance
wen qing is also someone i think you'd play really well fwiw
ok that's my spiel, the end
possibly someday I'll investigate this canon, there's just so Much
to be perfectly honest...... don't

like all of the secondary characters are fascinating and i love them, but to enjoy them you have to inhabit the brainspace of the most obnoxious protagonist character ever written
tho i feel like you could also pull of wei wuxian in a way no one else could, you WILL lean into the obnoxiousness
i'd have bailed on this canon ages ago if i didn't have a terminal case of jin guangyao brainrot that will probably follow me to my grave just like my obsession with robin hobb
PS ray please meet
chelicerae , another member of the fitz trash association
I've been assigning people Farseer characters on this meme bc I only play OCs
I’ve been fitz trash for twenty three years and I’m not ashamed
god let's see, I think I read the first one in 2004 or 5 because ray made me
which means twenty years give or take
I first read assassin’s apprentice as a fifteen year old, all bright eyed and bushy tailed
hahahahahha I guess I was 17 or so but like SAME
I then proceeded to infect everyone around me, including my boss at the caricature booth where I worked the summer after I graduated
we had a lot of time to read during the day so it became a little book club when we weren't drawing rednecks
roland bg3 seems like cami variety of pathetic
I have not gotten his whole plotline yet, clearly I need to
!!! I will never have the wherewithal to play a canon character
then make an oc and call her Arlene
bee gunning me in my own plurk. how dare you
i read them when i was 12 or 13 and i never recovered
also cosigning rolan from bg3
I will have to investigate furhter
I fully just forgot to look for him in the shadow cursed lands in my only complete playthrough
all the more reason he's clearly a cami character ig
to circle briefly back to jiang cheng, since i just sucked into a work meeting before i could finish my very important blorbo thought, he really does feel like a combination of benedict's impetuousness and petulance, teren's laser-focus and competence, with cade's ~tragic backstory~ energy. he suffers very prettily

also i made a meme about him a while back, this is him, this is the guy
shoves this sad barbie man at you, have him
his bone structure could cut glass, it's very impressive
perfect casting considering the author of the novel describes him as someone with a knife mouth and tofu heart
(he's the other most hated character in the series after my dude, come join me in hell)
sia voice: I've got knife mouth and a tofu heart
