So this is Laudnum, my first DA character and inquisitor. She's a Dalish rogue archer and important things about her are:

-started out romancing Iron Bull, had a very messy break up (in her mind), and then dated and married Cullen

-finally forgave Bull after the scene in Trespasser where he pretends not to see the chargers bring in the dragon head so they don't feel bad

-goes by she/her pronouns the way a boat does but realistically would go by any pronouns; I headcanon that her clan wouldn't really have gendered roles and therefore would not have really identified as female/feminine until the games starts and she encounters humans

-very much that one post about the dalish inquisitor not knowing non-elf culture and is just like "mhm mhm mhm yes I totally know what a Divine is alsdkjhfl"

-very blunt and awkward and over it, kind of like a mix between Cassandra and Alistair vibes

-besties with Dorian and Varric; cool with Blackwall, Iron Bull, Cassandra, and Cole; respects Vivienne and Solas; doesn't really like Sera (to mischievous and gives her anxiety) or Lelianna (I got hardened Lelianna and did not like the vibes); wants so badly to be friends with Krem but is too awkward to talk to him

-was hurt by Solas lying and leaving but thinks he can be redeemed if she can change his mind and his plan doesn't come to fruition

-believes/believed in the dalish gods but in a way that she believes that there is a higher power and that dalish interpret it one way and andrastians interpret is another but neither are really wrong

-[SPOILER CHOICES!!]: sided with the templars, hawke survives the fade, cast out the wardens I think, three-way rulers in charge of Orlais, Morrigan drinks from the well, Cole is human, chargers are saved, divine Cassandra bc I initially wanted divine Leliana but no if she was hardened, and I think that's it???

--------

I may come back and add things to this post. The main reason I started the blog was to keep track of the choices I made and to flesh out her character. I'm also going back and doing a "perfectionist" run where I play as her where I mostly make the same decisions but tweak things I didn't like or mistakes I made and to complete quests. So this is everything about the blind playthrough, original Laudnum.

I have never asked on tumblr before, but I love all the writing, so I’ll give it my shot.

I was wondering if you could write how the companions (+ advisors if possible) reacts to The inquisitor losing their arm, either right after or when returning.

Would be a + if it’s a young inquisitor but that isn’t necessary(close to Varric) It’s kinda specific but you can do what you want, I’ll be happy either way☺️

“Companions react to Inquisitor losing their arm”

So I know most people headcannon that Solas took the Inquisitor’s arm. BUT there is also the headcanon that the LI or close friend helps cut it off, either by doing the actual chopping or helping to hold down the Inquisitor. So we gonna roll with that, except Solas who will still be stealing your arm. Here you go @i-do-love-to-kvile !

-Lord Lex

Cullen

Upon being given his position, he had made one promise that he meant to up keep: Protect the Inquisitor at all cost. Now, standing near you as you breathe heavily, the stump that once was your arm being cared for, he felt as if he had broken this promise. Later he’d look back on this moment and realize that there was nothing else he could’ve done but at the moment, he felt the weakest. He’d stay by your side, getting whatever you need and discussing with you ways to replace the arm. If anyone from the council tries to disturb you while you’re healing, they’re going to have a very angry Commander on their hands, telling them in a icy tone to “Leave. You. Be.”

Josephine

Her hands are shaking and, somewhere in the back of her mind, she realizes this is the most blood she’s ever had on her hands in her life. But she doesn’t care. She’d try to staunch the blood, calling for a healer, for anyone, just someone to help you. Josey spent so long trying to research ways to help you and prepare you for the worst but this? It was an idea which was saved only as a last resort. Even when they do get a healer, she’s still shaking and only realizing now that she’s crying. They can’t lose you. Especially with everything going on. She’s trying to keep it together and take over your duties so that there is less off of you. Anything to help you.

Leliana

As your spy master, she is seething and demanding for her people to keep an eye on you while also trying to find where Solas is. She’d be the main reason Josephine is pulled away, trying her best to keep her composure and calm down her friend while a healer attends to you. If Divine, she receives this news and rushes to your side, demanding the talks be put on hold. They’re trying to destroy the Inquisition while the Inquisitor lays bleeding out? They can go to the far reaches of the Fade. When you do heal, she tries to be comforting but also tries to get information to understand what happened (and to hunt down who caused this).

Vivienne

One of two options: either she is furious or she is shaken to her core. Either way, it’s a first for everyone seeing this side of Madam Vivienne. As soon as the word healer reaches her ears, she’s there and already putting as many healing spells into you as possible without harming you. She’s unable to save your arm but at least she’s able to stop the blood. At least she’s useful. It’s the first time in forever since the passing of her love that she’s thought that way. But even then you were there to reassure her. Now, you lay there, weak and missing a limb. She stays by your side to comfort you, talking about anything and everything other than what had just occured.

Varric

Varric always has a joke, even for the worst of events. He knew when it was a good time to tell them and when it wasn’t. This is one of those times where he doesn’t know if it’ll help. He’s seen a lot of violence in his life but it never gets easier. He’s one of the people who’d be on your opposite side, trying his damndest to distract you while the others take off your arm. He’s trying to distract you from the pain as they’re trying to heal you. Instead of looking at the worst of it, he’s trying to turn your eyes to the bright side. Maybe he can see about getting a friend of his to make a prostetic for you. Eventually it just turns to him trying to soothe it and making one more promise, the same promise he made for Hawke. He’d never let anyone hurt you again, not on his watch.

Cole

He knows you’re in pain and has tried his hardest, but can’t make it go away. He wants to help so badly, to make it all better, but it’s become more difficult now that he’s starting to be alive again. He’s trying to help where he can, whether it be staunching the blood or trying to distract you from what was about to happen. Why would Solas…? He doesn’t understand and wants to but right now, all that matters is to make you right even if you are missing a piece. Wonders why they don’t want to keep the arm. Can’t they put it back on? Or is it broken, like the original Cole?

Solas

He is full of regret. Everything. What happened to his people, what happened to the orb, his plans, the events that have happened…but you? He doesn’t know. He knows the power within the orb would be too great for you to handle, eventually overcoming you. Had he expected to grow close? He didn’t mean to and yet he did. Now, here you were in front of him, in pain and asking him to come back, saying you’d either help him or look for a peaceful option. He wants to let go, he wants to forget you…but he can’t. He can’t let his friend die now, at least not to this. Maybe one day, he’ll find you. And maybe, just maybe, he’ll ask you to forgive him.

Cassandra

One of the ones to be given the option to cut off your arm. As the Divine, it may be suggested against letting her but it comes down to her decision. You are one of her only close friends, she’d do anything to make sure you were safe and to help you in any way. Cassandra may hesitate but, in the end, she’d do it knowing how much pain you were in. As soon as the job’s done, her weapon is dropped and she’s trying to help the healer. She’s so worried, begging the Maker to let you live. It’s a first time for everything, including seeing Seeker Cassandra shed some tears as she asks you to hold on.

The Iron Bull

It’s one of those times that Bull has to separate himself from his duties. But knowing the person he’s about to chop a limb off of makes it a bit more difficult. He knows he has to do it or the stupid fade magic will kill you. He has someone near prepared to heal you and another (maybe two) to hold you down. And in one fell swoop, your arm is disconnected and he’s already checking to see if it’s stopped the progress. Probably be one of the only people who suggests against more magic being used to close your wounds and would even take it upon himself to try and patch you. Only after you’re fine does he finally let out his breath that he’d been holding.

Dorian

Like hell he was going to let you suffer. He’s ready, by your side, trying his own magic to separate the arm in the least painful way possible. As soon as it’s off, he’s using the last bit of his magic to heal you. Dorian was not about to lose someone so close to him, who had been with him through more than anyone else had. He owed you his life and he was going to make sure your help didn't go to waste. He’s trying so hard to soothe you, petting your head and trying to calm you down so that you can relax. He doesn’t want you to be in pain and it hurts to see you like this. Tires himself out putting all his magic into you, but it was worth it.

Sera

For the first time in a long time, Sera’s afraid. She’s worried. Worried for you. She’s not supposed to care about anyone but herself, yet you changed her mind. No, they can’t lose you. Not now, not after everything you’ve done for her. She still needs to pay you back. She’s trying to distract you, pointing out stupid things but immediately panics when your arm is chopped off. Your screaming causes her to scream, mainly saying “Stop panicking! It’s fine! You're fine!” Someone has to calm you both down. As soon as you're patched up and both of you are fine, she simply says “...At least you still got the right, yeah?”

Blackwall

Another one to be asked to remove it, but oh is he suffering. In no way whatsoever did he want to do anything that would hurt you nor did he want you to struggle. And one option was starting to overshadow the other. It takes him three tries to have the courage and on the third try does he slice completely through it, cringing at your screams, knowing he caused them. That was not a noise that he wanted to ever hear, having promised himself that he would never hurt the innocent again. He had to put that promise to the side to help save you. By the time you come to, he’s crying and trying to patch up your wound, asking you to forgive him.

Also, just finished this at midnight so please excuse any grammar mistakes or wonky lines. Have a good night/morning!
