Well my original idea was to create a character that had an unhealthy obsession with the pale mist lady.

Then I thought this guy was trying to purposely get himself marked. He be a supremely paranoid guy. He'd study how people got marked and interview them about it. He'd engineer methods of ways to avoid being marked by anything else. If he were to get marked, I'd imagine he'd be furious about it. However because he knows the basics of being marked he'd know that they'd come to him. Then he would viciously kill them. Like how dare they try to take him from from the object of his love and obsession? HOW DARE THEY!!?

But then I thought that might be boring so I had a different idea. What do you think?
