So, for a PbP I'm trying to enter, I'm getting a distinct Malazan Book of the Fallen vibe. Human empire seeks to take over world, etc. Anyways, because I'm getting such strong vibes, I thought it might be fun to base my character concept on one of the characters. The two I have in mind as possibilities are Cotillion (The Rope, Patron God of Assassins, former bodyguard to the emperor), and Kellanved (Ammanas, Shadowthrone). If you don't know anything on the characters, here's some links that may help:
Cotillion:

Kellanved:

http://encyclopediamalazica.pbwiki.com/Shadowthrone
The campaign is gestalt. Character should be human. Beyond that, the main distinguishing features of each are both are heavily related to shadow as a concept. Cotillion is an assassin type character, who is often depicted as materializing out of the shadows. His weapon of choice is a rope, although I don't know how well that translates.
Ammanas/Kellanved's main distuingishing features are his propensity of scheme, and his control of the Hounds of Shadow.
I don't have many ideas beyond that. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
