thoughts/headcanons abt dao party body types…

morrigan is skinny, gangly, tough, and rangy from life in the wilds. she has sharp shoulders, stick-out shoulderblades, pointy joints, knobby long-fingered hands, a flat chest. she could be built like a ballerina, except that she doesn’t practice flexibility or grace. which makes her obviously graceless and brittle. the same height as alistair, annoyingly.

alistair is a big-boned, broad-shouldered, strong young man, inclined to beefiness, pudge, and nice boobs… except that he’s always been underfed and has now contracted the taint, so his strength is kind of wasting and drooping on his frame. a sad little belly… slightly pointed ears, just enough to mark him as a shifty character to the eye of a suspicious bigot, without being definitely elvhen.

leliana is plush, pear-shaped, and curvy with big (deadly) thighs and a heart shaped face. her arms have unexpected wiry strength, and her hands are hard. she loses a lot of her healthy fat & rosiness between dao & dai, becoming more rumpled, spindly and birdlike. SAD.

zevran is a beautiful, cat-footed rogue who can charm the rich and classy, so he’s fat and deceptively soft, apple shaped with dainty hands and feet and very strong calves from jumping and climbing. he moves very quietly and springily. medium height for an elf, short king by human standards. long, elegant ears.

wynne is a classroom skeleton. wynne is a folded up ironing board in circle robes. wynne is a murphy bed. wynne is a coffin lid. wynne is taller and more imposing than you expected from a distance. extremely straight, stern posture and big hands that she’s taken good care of. nothing about her bowed or crabbed by age. even her wrinkles are straight lines.

oghren has a beer belly and broad, hairy hands, but by dwarven standards he’s kind of small and slender.

melantho is tiny, much smaller than any of the humans, but to call her “lithe” or “willowy” because she’s an elf would be a joke. her sister is lithe and willowy. mela is a compact, unyielding mass of gristle and bone. no ass, no tits. the taint was already taking hold of her on the road to ostagar, and though its grip on her loosened with the joining she bears its marks—sunken eyes, clawed fingers and toes, blackened extremities, a fevered metabolism that melts away any remaining baby fat and keeps her cranky and cold, a slinking step, sensitivity to light. big, kitten-like ears.

sten is stacked like a sumo wrestler. best tits in the party, easily.

matsendra is bigger than mela but still pretty short with a fat, rounded hourglass figure. like zevran, he has a well-fed, satisfied, domesticated look, but unlike zev he’s not prepared for any chases or parkour. he is genuinely as used to soft living as he looks. with time away from the circle he firms up and gains a subtle, intimidating glow of strength and control, but never gets slimmer. for an elf he has smaller, rounder ears—one torn half off by the demon torpor—and unusually thick facial & body hair.

loghain is actually built very, very similarly to alistair, in a more advanced stage—a big frame that should be filled out, but miserable, ascetic living has stooped his shoulders and hollowed his gut, making him look older than he is.

velanna is an inverted triangle, a corn chip, a captain america. big shoulders, trim waist, tight butt. very disciplined. when she slouches in annoyance it’s artful, poised, and a little hard to believe.

nathaniel looks like a line cook. clammy, jittery, skinny, ugly defined abs, diet of mostly smoke. much much too tall. too tall by far. hunched, self-conscious body language. has erratic bursts of strength in which he can toss oghren like a sack of flour.

sigrun is a full and sexy hourglass!! but she’s all the way down there and wearing legion armor, so you don’t even know. you don’t even get to know how perfect she is.

justice is dead, and squishes like rotten fruit if you touch him. very big, looks as tall as nathaniel but that’s because nate has bad posture. actually slightly shorter. twice as wide.

anders is spare and kind of attenuated, like he’s been spread thin by stress, with an unusually long, slender torso, long arms, and short legs. his hands & feet are a little too big for his limbs, like a stray cat used to fighting, but his touch—whether healing, hurting, or grasping in passion—is gentle, firm, and clinical.

shale is shale.

and most of them are trans.

…………… TO ME❗️

Hi Hello, info dump to me about the zakus and their weapons please. The gundam wiki is shit when it comes to that kind of info

I absolutely the Zaku line weapons. Specifically the machine guns and heat hawks. The Federation mobile suits and their lightsabers are... cool, I guess, but I like Jedi and the Feddies have a shit aesthetic the Principality of Zeon VERY MUCH being genocidal maniacs and evil. Unfortunately, the Zaku is a sexy piece of machinery.

The first one, the ZXM-1, was basically a glue gun combined with a tommy gun in appearance and there aren't a LOT of models that use it (like model kits and figurines) because it was a prototype 100mm gun if I recall correctly.

One cool thing about all the Zaku machine guns is that they pretty much all (except one or two) have a really cool Lewis Gun/Degtyaryov type design. The last prototype before the One Year War had the drum magazine on the side and it looked goofy, but for the iconic 'zaku machine gun' we all know and love - the M-120A1 - It located the drum to the top. I personally like the ZMP-50D model that has the drum mag offset to the top-right and has a rounded foregrip with a pattern for easier gripping. Both have an adjustable foregrip that pops out so it can be held like a sten gun, but the ZMP-50D was for the MS-06JC Zaku II which was basically a ground infantry model made for desert and jungle environments. The ZMP-50D and that Zaku are my 2nd favorites.

My favorite Zaku, the MS-06FZ Zaku II Kai that was introduced in my favorite OVA Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, had the most varied weaponry IMO. Obviously it had the shoulder shield, some grenades, and the signature heat hawk but it used the MMP-80 90MM machine gun which kinda looks like if an MP5 and an MP40 had a baby and was upscaled for mechs. Box magazine, bulky and not as skinny or sci-fi as the ZMP-50D or other disc drum magazine guns. It also had a folding stock and was more or less used like an actual gun some more than most machine guns.

War In the Pocket in general felt different in that way. They used EVERYTHING: the H&L-SB25K Bazooka, a panzerfaust-style single-shot rocket launcher called the Sturm Faust, and the Gouf model's iconic heat sword. On top of that, they also had a unique helmet model called the Fritz, which basically looked like a Stahlhelm but also probably was designed to look vaguely like a samurai helmet as well - however slightly.

It also, to me, is the squattest Zaku and looks the most intimidating as far as the front-line Zaku are concerned - and it was the final iteration that Zeon produced during the One Year War, it was basically the most advanced unit that kinda got pushed to special forces and small-scale use because it only entered use one month before the war ended. But it's the Zaku with the fattest, most sloped chest armor and I love it so much.

tl;dr: i love the mech

#i'm a trans lesbian of COURSE i have mobile suit opinions and knowledge

[platoniccereal]

What party members do you think you would be friends with if you meet them? And which ones not so much?

hmmm. there are characters whose friend i would like to be, but i'm not certain i would. like, i'm sarcastic and dry enough for morrigan, but *stares at morrigan's approval system in dao* we have slightly different values.

sten, maybe? i like arguing and acting out of spite, and these are things that generally net his approval. i hope alistair? please let me be alistair's friend.

leliana and isabela are my wives in games, but i would be too intimidated by how cool they are and be constantly petrified. same with bull. even tho they all are easy-going, i fancy cool characters, but they're too cool for me, hahaha.

merrill and sera seem like a good guess as well. infodump the shit out of me, queens.✌️ solas and dorian seem to fall in this category as well, and i'm quite used to an academic sphere to be interested in the type of discussions they would prefer... but if i met solas irl, i would bite his elbows off. i know what humanities straight boys are like.

does anders count? like, there would be queer pining involved. but we share same values, i have immense respect for him, and whenever i see him in modern au, i go a bit feral, so. i'd like to be friends with him.

i don't think i would be friends with fenris? and varric? the latter seems to be out of my circle, huh. same with vivienne and blackwall. i dunno if i would become close friends with cole, but he's totally nice to be around.

and barkspawn. yeah, totally.

ULTRAMagic Interlude: Shadowland Chapter 5

Previous | First | Next

Master Post

At the center of Shadowland was Castle Haugen, named for the current ruler. It was a mix of a stone keep and a concentric castle. Two sets of walls protected the giant tower that watched over the entire city. Approaching the fortress revealed it was a lot bigger than it initially appeared. This was intimidating, yet conveyed a sense of indestructibility. If anyone was going to try and topple it, it would take several armies at least. The original architect was lost to time, but it was clear that they went out of their way to make the castle as strong as possible.

Sten was not in a good mood, but this went without saying. Everything was a mess in the kingdom, as to be expected. He finally had control back in his hands, but every attempt to get things back in order was halted by Milosh and his obnoxious cult. The remaining Blades of Dunja were not helping either. Normally Sten would have sent his knights to execute the traitors, but he was hesitant to do so. The last thing he needed was making his people fearful of him again. That anomaly was what prompted him to seek outside help in the first place.

“FOR THE LOVE OF THE SOURCE! Take whatever you need, just get those supplies to the south-east quadrant… Again, as much as I would love to blow that loathsome church sky high, let’s hold off on the explosives… The Descendants are in Dead Man’s Pass? I see. Interesting… Has Torunn found Rumbler yet?” Sten inquired amongst his orders and instructions. That next piece of information sent him to orbit, however… “WHAT DO YOU MEAN MAXIMUS ENGAGED HIM!?” He roared.

Allan came running into the throne room, with Folkvar still over his shoulder. “Phew! That was quite the sprint…” He admitted while trying to catch his breath.

“You can put me down now…” Folkvar pointed out.

“Oh, right… haha.”

Sten noticed the two and went right over to them. “BOYS! What’s even going on right now!? Where’s Barna and the others?!”

“Let Folkvar explain it… I need some water…” Allan answered. A steward promptly brought him the drink he needed.

“Oh boy, where do I start… um…” Folkvar said to himself. “Uh, Father? Barna had arrived with Dunja and we were getting ready to come here, but then we heard roaring in the distance. And then Barna spotted Gummi down the way…”

“Then what happened?” Sten was incredibly uneasy.

“...We’re not… sure” Allan continued, wiping his face. “Weaver went after him and Barna had me bring Folkvar here just in case.”

A guard approached the three. “Your majesty? Barna and Claudius are on their way to the castle. The Rumbling Beast is with them and only has minor injuries.”

Sten felt a wave of relief wash over him. He sat down on his throne and exhaled a deep breath. “Send Rumbler to the courtyard, have the doctors tend to his wounds, and tell him I will be there as soon as I’m done here.”

“Yes, your majesty!”

“Allan, head to the entrance and bring everyone here when they arrive” Sten instructed.

“Already on it, your majesty” He said as he started walking.

Folkvar figured what his father would say and took a seat at his throne. There was also a third for the queen, but she was not present. “Where’s mother?”

“Her gardens, I believe. She’s been working day and night to get them restored. And I imagine she’ll get to Rumbler before I do.”

Eventually Barna and the group began crossing the drawbridge. They were greeted by Allan and several guards. “I understand how this looks, but don’t worry everyone. Everything’s good… for the most part” Barna announced.

“Great to hear. And welcome back, Mr. Schindewolf” a guard replied. He then gestured and called for The Rumbling Beast to follow him.

Torunn went over to Allan and gave him a big hug. “And how’s my boy doing?” This caused Dunja to avert her gaze ever so slightly.

“I’m fine, Ma. I take it Rumbler’s alright now?”

“Yeah, he’ll be okay… He’s definitely staying inside until all of this mess is cleaned up, however.” Torunn then turned to Maximus. “You might want to go tell Captain Tiberius what’s up.”

“Right. See you guys later” Maximus said as he walked off in the other direction.

“Shall we go see Sten then?” Dunja asked, a bit nervous.

Torunn nodded and turned to see Barna and Claudius introducing Aureolus to various guardsmen. “Hey guys, we need to go see the king, remember?”

“Right! Pardon us gentlemen, but we shouldn’t keep his majesty waiting” said Barna.

Aureolus was amazed by Castle Haugen. It was large on the inside, as if made for giants. This filled him with a sense of awe. Much like The Singing Storm Tower, it was very busy with people moving to and about. The familiarity was contrasted by the paintings and sculptures all over the place. They told the story of Shadowland, which was quite different from that of The Iron City. Aureolus would get curious, with nearby stewards or guards explaining a particular piece in brief to him.

Outside the throne room, Aureolus glanced over to Dunja. “Still nervous, Aunt Dunja?”

She nodded. “Yeah…”

“Well you’ve gotten this far, haven’t you?”

“Yeah, I have.”

“Then stop worrying. I’m sure it’ll be fine” Aureolus stated as the door opened.

Seeing Sten for the first time startled the boy. Everything Barna had told Aureolus seemed to be correct. He was giant at ten feet tall, sported long black hair, and had an eerie face that was aged yet proud. His attire was dreary, but still retained a regal nature. Of note was his voice. It was somewhere between Welsh and Slavic, albeit a bit raspy. Just like with the castle, Sten also had Aureolus in awe.

“Sten! It’s been a while” Barna declared.

“Aye, that it has, Barna. I trust that you have been in good health and spirit?”

“Well definitely health… spirit has been here and there. Regardless, let me start off by introducing my newest son, Aureolus…”

“And still no wife I see?” Sten jabbed, to Barna’s chagrin. Everyone else quietly chuckled.

Aureolus did a proper bow. “It’s an honor to meet you, your high… royal highness! Royal highness. Sorry, sorry…” That was embarrassing…

Sten chuckled. “Don’t fret, my boy. It’s understandable given your origins. In that regard, you have my utmost condolences for what that heathen Milosh did to you. I trust that things haven’t been too bothersome for you?”

Well it was at first, but Blood-Wraith made it all worth it.”

“That’s good to hear. Speaking of Sir Raynot, I’m disappointed he’s not with you. I’d really like to meet him, given all that he’s done for both of our kingdoms.”

“Don’t worry, Sten,” Barna replied. “The lad just needs a bit of a break is all.”

Sten nodded and looked at Dunja. “Certainly… and I have a good idea as to why that is.”

The amount of anxiety his gaze put on Dunja made her want to scream surrender… despite having done that to a degree already. Still, she maintained her fortitude… barely. “Hehe, hey Sten, cousin. Long time no see…”

The king took a breath to make sure he spoke calmly. “Am I to understand you have renounced your past misdeeds and transgressions?”

Dunja went over to a table and emptied out a pouch of red gem shards. “I am beyond sorry at this point. I just want things to go back to normal and I fully intend to fix everything, even if I have to do it with my bare hands.”

Sten’s eyes lit up as a cathartic smile stretched across his face at the shattered remains of the Shadow Orb. Composing himself, he spoke. “Well well well then. Obviously you’ll need to speak with your actions, Dunja. This, however, is a very good start. Now what do you plan to do about Andelin and Gratiana?”

“I’m hoping to win them over to our side and recruit them into the new Blades of Dunja, in service to The Iron City. Torunn has already accepted this.”

Torunn gave a thumbs up. “Yup, it all sounds like a good time to me.”

“Very well then. Under normal circumstances I would have had them executed, but anyone who knows me knows that I hate wasted potential” Sten pointed out. “On top of that, I can tell that none of you actually swore loyalty to Milosh…

Dunja shook her head in confirmation. “Despite all the going behind my back nonsense that worm did, I was supposed to be in charge.”

“... furthermore, Andelin and Gratiana are survivors of the fallen kingdom of Feuerland. Andelin is of particular interest, being the cursed child of gold blood. You can understand my hesitance to execute such a being.”

“Be careful, Sten,” A voice cautioned. A surge of bright fire erupted from the ground, with a gleaming figure emerging from it. The man was an angel with a muscular build and long, blonde hair. “... such beings are quite the wild card. There’s a reason why Feuerland had so many problems, amongst others.”

“Achasiah, I was wondering when you would arrive.”

“Oh, hey, Achasiah. What are you doing here?” Dunja inquired.

“Dunja! Perfect… where’s Weaver and Gabriella? Weren’t they with you?”

“They went off to pursue Gummi while we were calming down Rumbler” Barna answered.

“Ah, I see. Aureolus, how are you doing?”

Aureolus shook his hand. “Great. I still need to visit Fire World and I haven’t quite gotten used to being corporeal yet, but great. What are you doing here?”

“I’ve been helping Sten out for some time now and I’ve been asked to elucidate all of you.”

Dunja looked puzzled. “Really now? Just what have you been up to?”

Achasiah chuckled. “A lot my dear, a lot. Before we get into that, would you like to tell Allan the truth before we get into my story?” He glanced over to Sten, who nodded.

“Right, let’s get that out of the way…” she muttered.

Allan stepped over to Dunja. “Alright, let’s spill the beans then. Who are my parents?” Torunn put her hand on his shoulder.

Dunja was unbelievably nervous. “Well… to start off, both of your parents are alive and well. In fact, one of them is closer than you think…”

“Okay… how close? Like, within Shadowland or The Iron City?”

“Here close. And, you’ll have to bear with this parent in particular as… er, they’ve done some stupid things, but she’s trying to make up for them…”

Torunn audibly cleared her throat, trying to push her along. “Dunja…”

“I know, I hear you… so about this parent…”

“Ma, what is she getting at?” Allan was weirded out by Dunja’s hesitation.

“Don’t worry, I just need to… um… well, preface this parent I guess because she’s pretty noteworthy here…”

Sten pinched his right temple. “By the gods! Out with it, Cousin!”

“RIGHT. Sorry… Allan, this will come as a shock, but I’m your mother. Your real name is Albrecht Schindewolf and you’re the rightful prince of The Iron City…”

The silence was deafening. Those that knew were quiet while Allan was stunned. If this was true, this changed a lot. Barna could see his nephew getting visibly upset and felt bad for him. The boy was on the verge of having a breakdown. Barna tugged at his collar, knowing what was about to happen. The ensuing tirade that occurred was possibly the most confused Allan had ever been in his life. Dunja wanted to hug him so badly, but she knew that would not help in this situation.

[id: four images with silhouettes in different colors representing the companions of each game against a height scale. the character’s name and height in centimeters is labelled over each silhouette. names and heights are in the captions. /end id]

Companion Heights

decided to put my headcanons for companion heights all in one place. i used this post as a basis for average heights, and i used this site for the height comparison examples. while the images have the heights in centimeters, i’ll be listing them in inches and feet. i’ll also include some thoughts as to my reasoning, although the answer usually comes down to “vibes”.

obligatory disclaimer that this is just how i personally see the characters, and you’re free to disagree. don’t try to bring up “canon”, i don’t care about canon.  and please don’t try to argue with me as if i’ve caused some great offense to your own vision of a character, just go make your own post.

Origins

Alistair, 6′0″ - the bigger he is, the better he is at hugging

Leliana, 5′9″ - on the taller side of average, i just think it fits her

Morrigan, 5′10″ - mostly i just don’t see her being shorter than Leli, probably got her height from Flemeth

Oghren, 4′9″ - i think an average height fits him

Shale, 7′5″ - is a golem, so

Sten, 6′11″ - a matter-of-fact man with an average matter-of-fact height

Wynne, 5′8″ - for her perfectly pleasant non-threatening grandma facade

Zevran, 5′6″ - short king 👑

Loghain, 5′9″ - i like the idea of him being physically average but having an intimidating aura that makes ppl think he’s bigger than he is

Awakening

Anders, 6′1″ - he is a beanpole and nothing will convince me otherwise

Justice, 5′11″ - generically tall warrior

Nathaniel, 6′0″ - while i see him as a beanpole independently, i cannot pass up the beauty of having Anders be just one inch taller than him

Oghren, 4′9″ - as previously stated

Sigrun, 4′7″ - on the shorter side but that just means ppl don’t see her coming

Velanna, 5′9″ - tall for an elf, i think this fits with her personality and her history of ostracism during adolescence

Two

Anders, 6′4″ - growth spurt courtesy of this headcanon

Aveline, 6′0″ - is built like a brick shithouse and you know it

Bethany, 5′9″ - both glad to be unassuming and also bitter that Carver is so much taller than her

Carver, 6′3″ - an early growth spurt to accentuate his teenage awkwardness, again there is the beauty of Anders being one inch taller

Fenris, 5′9″ - i just like him being tall for an elf

Isabela, 5′5″ - short queen 👑

Merrill, 5′7″ - not average but not quite as tall as Fenris

Sebastian, 5′10″ - attractively tall without it being overwhelming

Varric, 4′10″ - on the taller side of average, i think it fits him

Tallis, 5′6″ - average for an elf, perfect for a spy

Inquisition

Blackwall, 5′6″ - short king 👑

Cassandra, 6′2″ - the only man legally allowed to be taller than Cassandra is the Iron Bull

Cole, 6′0″ - growth spurt that human cole didn’t have the chance to grow into, just love him being absurdly tall compared to his adopted dads

Dorian, 5′9″ - average in height but nothing else ;3

Iron Bull, 7′3″ - i like the idea of him being tall even for a qunari

Sera, 5′3″ - look, we don’t listen to game models, this girl is a tiny tornado of whoop-ass and i stand by that

Solas, 5′7″ - his whole deal is being unassuming, he is average

Varric, 4′10″ - as previously stated

Vivienne, 6′1″ - look me in the eye and tell me Viv isn’t the kind of woman to wear six inch heels when she’s already over six foot

Cullen, 5′10″ - slightly taller than average, just think it fits

Josephine, 5′5″ - the delicate young lady who is much more frightening and much less delicate than you think

Leliana, 5′9″ - as previously stated

Morrigan, 5′10″ - as previously stated

Clydeland- “can I touch your boob?” Prompt

Honestly, Stens shouldn’t have been surprised to end up here again.

The alley stunk of waste and piss, but he had barely enough time to take it in before being pushed onto the ground, everything swirling around him as he tried to steady himself.

He had to concede that maybe he’d had too much to drink, something that rarely happened after Grady. Enough that he found himself saying, “Can I touch your boob?”

It was no wonder he ended up in another alley, with another guy and his girlfriend pissed at him.

He hadn’t meant to say it out loud, or even say it in general, had only had the quick passing thought as he sat at the bar with his fruity cocktail, lowered inhibitions causing the words to tumble out of his mouth. Then again, he’d always had a problem with words falling out of his mouth, didn’t he? The whole hassle with Grady and Morgan proved that.

He vaguely realized he was hearing laughter before feeling himself pulled upward, hands gripping his shirt as he scrambled to put his feet under him. When he finally felt steady, or as steady as he could be, the hands released him, and Stensland only barely stumbled.

“I’ll show you to hit on my girl,” a voice growled from in front of him, the boyfriend, face swimming just slightly in his vision as Stens squinted at him.

Luckily, he at least already had the basic knowledge of facing someone in a fight. Unluckily, he doubted he would fare any better than he did the last time he was in this predicament. He lifted his fists, guarding his face.

Or he thought he did.

The next moment found him back on the ground, pain blooming around his nose. More laughter as he curled around his body, though it suddenly cut off as he heard a door bang open.

“Fuck off!” a deep voice rumbled, coming closer to him while he heard footsteps and softer voices moving away.

Groaning, Stens lifted his head, finally, as the footsteps stopped next to him. It was the bartender. Tall, broad, dark-haired, he was an intimidating sight, usually, brooding behind the counter, but it was dulled now, his expression softened with worry.

“Are you okay?”

Stens opened his mouth to reply but only groaned slightly as the movement jostled his nose.

The bartender--Clyde, he thinks his name was--bent down next to him, putting a large hand on his shoulder. Without his permission, his heart started to beat harder.

“Hey, just. Relax, okay? You’ll be alright. Mind tippin’ your head back for me? There you go.”

Something about Clyde’s voice, deep and low, was soothing and he found himself doing as the man asked, tilting his head back.

“You never answered my question,” Stensland found himself saying, looking over at the man. He didn’t know why he said it, shouldn’t have said it. But it was out now, wasn’t it? He really needed to stop saying things without thinking about them.

“What?” Clyde looked at him, confused.

Well, if he was going to say it, might as well do it when drunk; he could blame the alcohol on acting ridiculous. He reached a hand up to rest it on Clyde’s chest.

“Can I touch your boob?”

For the ask meme: 1, 11, 16, 23, 28

1: Which origin did you first choose?

Elf mage. I’m mage trash. Acually, I was originally going to pick human mage, but I decided to try something new and now I’m lowkey elf trash.

11: What was your Warden’s first impression of Morrigan?

She was initially scared. It was pretty ingrained in her head that apostates were Bad™. Plus, she was just almost either killed or turned tranquil, not to mention the fact that this was her first time outside in like 12 years and suddenly she has to do combat. It was a lot to take in all at once.

16: What are your Warden’s thought on Sten now?

A dear friend. Plus she very much appreciates the fact that he sends her Par Vollen spices.

23: What was your Warden’s first impression of Shale?

Interested and slightly intimidated (but then again what doesn’t intimidate Rhian?). She’d read about golems in a book at Kinloch.  

28: What does your Warden think of Flemeth?

She’s very grateful that she saved her. Rhian respects her, but only to an extent because Morrigan told her how bad of a mother Flemeth was. She also knows to be wary of her since she obviously has her own agenda.

Dragon Age: Origins Questions

#the-dread-doggo #ask #rhian surana #sorry im just getting around to these lmao

[sassylavellen]

Got bored. Decided to answer these.

1: Which origin did you first choose? My first was the human noble origins. Sophia Cousland was my first and favorite Warden.

2: Which origin is your favourite? I think the City Elf origin. I mean I HATE the whole Shianni-gets-raped bit, but I think most of the others are just a little by-the-numbers. Not saying they’re bad by any means, but the City Elf origin makes you feel a lot of things, and it’s not afraid to address some difficult situations.

3: Do you have multiple Grey Wardens/playthroughs or just one? I have one of each!

4: If you have more multiple Grey Wardens, are they in different/ parallel universes or in the same one? They all exist (or rather, existed) in the same universe to me, but the only three who lived to go on the adventure were Sophia Cousland, Gillan Mahariel, and Tara Tabris.

5: Did your Warden want to become a Grey Warden? Sophia absolutely did! Gillan didn’t want to, but she knew she had to if she was going to live with the blight caused by the mirror. Tara was VERY opposed to the idea, but she came around to accepting the role.

6: Does your Warden regret becoming a Grey Warden? Sophia does. Gillan does not. Tara dies a proud Warden.

7: What was your Warden’s first impression of Duncan? Sophia was intrigued and impressed by him. Gillan was a little afraid of him, but she soon found out he was a good man and was very respectful of him. Tara didn’t like him, but as the journey went on, she began to look back and realize he really did save her life.

8: Do they still feel the same about Duncan as they did before the Joining? Gillan does. Sophia and Tara were a little shaken by the joining, but they both agreed that what he did, he had to.

9: What was your Warden’s first impression of Alistair? Sophia liked him. She could see he was a kindred spirit and loved his sass. Gillan appreciated the sass, but she was a little disappointed when Alistair did not want to be a leader. In her mind, he had the most experience with the Wardens so he should have lead, regardless of how well he could lead. Tara just didn’t care. Alistair was annoying to her.

10: Do they still feel the same about Alistair? Sophia and Gillan both regard Alistair as a dear friend. For a time, Gillan and Alistair had a thing for one another, but it never went too far. Alistair couldn’t be with her once he became king, and while she was upset by it, Gillan knew it was the right decision. Tara did end up liking Alistair, even if they never became close friends.

11: What was your Warden’s first impression of Morrigan? Sophia was *slightly* intrigued. Gillan was slightly afraid of her, and Tara was suspicious of her.

12: What do they think of Morrigan now? Sophia no longer trusts her, but in a sad way. She and Morrigan had been becoming friends right before the end, but then she tried to make her convince Alistair to sleep with her for the ritual, and Sophia almost agreed. Once she confronted Alistair, she couldn’t bring herself to make him do it. After that, Morrigan left and Sophia felt betrayed. Gillan was not involved in this exchange, but was shocked when Sophia told her. After the blight, she did try to track Morrigan down. No one knows for sure what happened, but Gillan did admit she did find her, but their reunion did not end well.

13: What was your Warden’s first impression of Leliana? Sophia immediately felt a connection with her. Gillan was a little creeped out by her “The Maker sent me” excuse, and Tara didn’t want her to join.

14: What do they think of Leliana now? Sophia and Leliana are married now. Gillan is a close friend to them both. At the end, Tara warmed up to her.

15: What was your Warden’s first impression of Sten? Gillan was terrified of him at first. Sophia and Tara were both intrigued.

16: What are your Warden’s thought on Sten now? Gillan is still a tiny bit afraid of him, but she likes him none the less. Sophia has a deep respect for him.

17: What was your Warden’s first impression of Wynne? Sophia and Tara only saw her as an old woman. Gillan respected her the way she respected a wise elder of her own clan.

18: What does your Warden think about Wynne now? Sophia still sees her as an old woman, but in a loving way. Gillan stayed about the same.

19: What was your Warden’s first impression of Zevran? None of them trusted him. But Sophia decided to show mercy and recruit him. Tara was extremely weary of him.

20: What does your Warden think of Zevran now? Sophia and Gillan see him as a dear friend, even if they haven’t spoken to him in years.

21: What was your Warden’s first impression of Oghren? Sophia thought he was funny. Gillan didn’t like him. Tara sympathized with him.

22: What are your Warden’s thoughts on Oghren now? Sophia and Gillan see him like an old drunk uncle. While they weren’t the closest of friends, Oghren respected Tara more than he admitted and even named his daughter in loving memory of her.

23: What was your Warden’s first impression of Shale? None of them knew what to think of her.

24: What does your Warden think of Shale now? None of them still knew what to think of her. Sophia felt like she was starting to understand her though.

25: What was your Warden’s first impression of Loghain? Sophia had grown up hearing the stories of Loghain and the battles he fought against the Orlesians and looked up to him as a sort of hero. Gillan saw him as just another human in charge, but she got a bad vibe from him. Tara hated him on principle.

26: What are your Warden’s thoughts on Loghain now? Sophia’s entire world was thrown into disarray when Loghain betrayed the King and the Wardens. Gillan was shocked, but perhaps not surprised. Tara was just upset that she was right.

27: What does your Warden think about the Mabari war dog? How did your Warden name the Mabari that joins you when you head for Lothering? Chupacabra was Sophia’s childhood pet and she loved him more than anything (at least until she met Leliana). Gillan was initially suspicious of him, since the closest thing she had to associate with him was tales of the Dread Wolf. But soon she grew to love him. Tara saw him as just an animal, but a useful and cool animal.

28: What does your Warden think of Flemeth? Sophia was slightly afraid of her. Gillan, surprisingly, was intrigued by her because she had heard the tales of Asha’bellenar. Tara didn’t care.

29: What is your Warden’s favourite color? Sophia: Violet. Gillan: Blue. Tara: Lime Green.

30: What is your Warden’s favourite food? Sophia: Homebaked bread. Gillan: Soups. Tara: Chicken.

31: How old is your Warden? At the start of their journeys Sophia is 18 (almost 19), Gillan just turned 25, and Tara is 36 but turns 37 during the adventure.

32: What is your Warden’s gender identity (this does not have to match gender chosen in the character creator, of course!) all three are Female

33: What is your Warden’s romantic/sexual orientation? Sophia is a lesbian, Gillan and Tara are straight.

34. Does your Warden end up with one of the companions in any way? Sophia and Leliana fell deeply for one another. Gillan and Alistair had a budding relationship, but it didn’t go too far before they mutually agreed it had to end so he could be king. While Zevran (and even a drunk Oghren) hit on her, Tara did not indulge in anything sexual.

35: Is your Warden a warrior/rogue/mage? Sophia trained as a warrior, Gillan trained as an archery-based rogue, and Tara was a duel-wielding rouge.

36: What is your Warden’s weapon of choice? Sophia used a sword and shield (sometimes duel swords). Gillan used her trusty bow, and Tara had two favorite daggers she named Wrath and Justice.

37: What are your Warden’s specializations? Sophia specialized as a champion, Gillan as a ranger, and Tara as a bard.

38: What are some of your Warden’s strenghts? Sophia: Persuasion, Gillan: Stealth, Tara: Intimidation.

39: What are some of your Warden’s weaknesses? Sophia: Over-confidence, Gillan: Fear, Tara: Trust issues

40: Your favourite companion? Leliana

41: Your Warden’s favourite companion? Sophia: Leliana, Gillan: Alistair, Tara: Sten

42: What is your Warden’s biggest secret? Sophia and Gillan didn’t keep secrets from their companions. Tara, however, tried to keep her whole life a secret and refused to talk about it. After the ordeal with the Broken Circle, Gillan saw a glimpse into Tara’s deepest repressed desires as well as her deepest fears. Knowing Gillan saw it, she did confess to her and to Sophia that all she wanted was to have a happy family, but all chances of it had been taken from her. She had been pregnant, but had a miscarriage, her mother was taken and killed by humans, her cousin Shianni (who was almost like a daughter to her) was raped by humans, and her journey with the Wardens was taking her away from Shianni and her father. She was bitter towards the world because she didn’t know how to cope with this loss.

43: What is your Warden’s biggest regret? I don’t think Tara had any regrets at the end, and I don’t really think Gillan did either, but Sophia is a different story. The three of them drew straws to decide who would have to sacrifice herself to slay the dragon (if Riordan didn’t kill it). Sophia drew the short straw, and when the moment came, she was too afraid to die. Tara, after growing to accept and befriend her, took pitty on her and took her place. To this day, Sophia has nightmares reliving this moment and lives the rest of her life with survivor’s guilt.

44: Can your Warden read very well? Do they like reading? Sophia was raised with the best education in Highever, and would read a good book every so often. Tara was partially illiterate, but could make out most of the words. Gillan on the other hand is a total bookworm and LOVES reading.

45: What does your Warden do in their spare time/off-duty? Honestly, Gillan is either reading or drawing in her spare time. Sophia spends time with Leliana when she’s not traveling. Tara used to work with the merchants in the alienage.

46: Are your Warden’s parents still alive? Sophia’s parents are both dead. Gillan’s father is for sure dead, but her mother abandoned her shortly after she was born. She has no idea if her mother is still alive, but she likes to think she’s out there somewhere. Tara’s mother is dead, but her father is alive and well.

47: Did your Warden have a good relationship with their parents? Sophia had a decent enough relationship with her father, but a strained relationship with her mother, who did not approve of her sexual preferences or her training as a warrior. Gillan never knew her parents. Tara had a very close and very loving relationship with both her parents.

48: Does your Warden have any siblings (in canon or headcanon, it’s all ok!) Sophia has a brother, Fergus. Gillan and Tara have no siblings (as far as Gillan knows, it is possible her mother is still alive and has other children, but Gillan has no way of knowing).

49: Is your Warden religious? (Chantry/Dalish belief/Tevinter belief/something else) Gillan and Tara are not particularly religious, but Sophia is Andastrian.

50: What does your Warden like most about themselves? Tara likes her hair, because it reminds her of her mother. Gillan can’t look at herself that way, she’s not very confident in herself. Sophia loves her own muscles. (Even though she’s not my buffest OC, that award goes to Evelyn Lavellan lol)

51: What is something other people like about your Warden? People love that Sophia is generous and very much a people’s person, always on the side of the little people. People like Gillan’s quiet wisdom and rational thinking. While most people don’t like how bitter Tara can be, they do respect her fearlessness.

52: Is your Warden introverted or extroverted? (or somewhere in between?) Sophia is extroverted, Gillan is EXTREMELY introverted, Tara is in between.

53: Does your Warden enjoy nature? All three love it. Well I guess maybe Tara tolerates it.

54: What did your Warden think of Lothering? Sophia was heartbroken about their plight. Gillan had no real connection to humans prior to this, and she hadn’t gotten to know the humans on her team yet, but she still felt bad for them. Tara only saw more sadness and more oppression and felt like nothing changed.

55: What did your Warden think of the problem in the Brecilian Forest? How did they solve it? Gillan more or less lead this expedition and the others followed her lead. She managed to resolve it peacefully, even though Tara wanted her to kill the werewolves.

56: What did your Warden think of the problem at the Circle of Magi? How did they solve it? Gillan’s deepest darkest fear is demons, and she was TERRIFIED of the Circle’s problems. While she was somewhat traumatized by the events of the quest, she did stand up and face her fears when all her friends were taken by the sloth demon. She was taken into the fade and she fought her way to her friends and single-handedly rescued them. In the end, they saved the mages.

57: What did your Warden think of the problem at Redcliffe? How did they solve it? At this point in the journey, Tara still was distrustful of humans and she thought it was bullshit. Sophia had been to Redcliffe several times as a child, and wanted to save the town and Conor. Gillan was along for the ride, but agreed mostly with Sophia.

58: What did your Warden think of the problem in Orzammar? How did they solve it? OH GOD I HATED ORZAMMAR AND THE DEEP ROADS SO THEREFORE THEY HATE IT TOO. And they make Harrowmount King.

59: What did your Warden think of the Landsmeet? How did they solve it? Sophia lead them in the Landsmeet, and they resolved it mostly peacefully. She still had to duel Loghain.

60: Who does your Warden put on the throne? Alistair.

61: Your favourite NPC? Shianni

62: Your favourite main quest? Nature of the Beast

63: Your favourite side quest? The one where you find Sten’s sword.

64: Your favourite DLC quest? Does Awakening count? If not, I guess Leliana’s Song (mostly because that’s like the only other DLC I have for Origins)

65: Have you installed any mods? None. I only have the games for xbox360 and PS4.

66: Did your Warden make use of Morrigan’s offer right before the battle against the Archdemon/the Blight? No.

67: If your Warden could go back in time to change one thing, what would they change? Sophia would have slain the dragon instead of Tara. Would it have been a better outcome? No one really knows. Gillan would have stayed with Alistair no matter what scandal would have become of it.

68: Can your Warden sing and/or dance? While she’s not as talented as Leliana, Sophia can sing. Tara can dance, but she’d never dance in front of any of her companions. Gillan can carry a tune, but not very well.

69: Do you have any headcanons about your Warden that are not/go against canon? Sophia is left-handed. I already kinda shared the one about Tara having a miscarriage. I also headcanon that Gillan becomes a Grey Warden researcher working in a library in Weisaupt.

70: On a scale from 1-10, with 10 being the highest score possible, how much of a Dragon Age fan are you? For sure an 11.

Sten Hugo Hiller - 627184: War of `59. First day, testing the waters.

(By Sten Hugo Hiller - 627184) War of `59. First day, testing the waters.

To say that the Commanders gathered for teh war was nervous is perhaps not accurate, but there was plenty of tension in the air. After all, when facing fresh opponents, -or even those one have fought before but on unfamiliar terrain, the outcome are pretty unclear. And scouting can after all only do so much.

When the Gaming authorities autorized the start of the hostilities, the clans showed differing strategies. Some swarmed forward, perhaps hoping to seize the initiative and intimidate the opponents into surrender. Others held back, wanting to gauge the opponents strengths before delivering a shattering riposte.

When a bit over five hours of fighting had passed the scores stood:

Div 1

Warlocks HQ 19 - 4 B.o.A.D. The Warlocks have ourscored the Dragons handsomely so far.

Magnificent-7 49 - 11 Punishers Guild The Magnificents have gained a significant advantage already.

Div 2

Northwind Dragons 48 - 45 Spirit of Bunny The Dragons hold the initiative, well helped by a Bunny formation caught helpless in a canyon.

Death Dealers 45 - 21 M&L team Banzai The Dealers have outscored the Banzaier`s so far, but will the flow of Battle turn?

Div 3

Avengers of Bunny 47 - 5 Slaughter House 5 The Bunnies are running amok in the Slaughterhouse.

Star League 22 - 28 P.F.U.D.o.R. Both clans have found easy targets, and the Unicorns have profited most.

B.S.L.R. 26 - 1 Heroes The Rangers seem to be too strong for the Heroes.

Death`s Collectors 59 - 2 M&L B.C. 13th A.D. So far the Cats have had the unevitable job of being targets only.

Div 5

T.B. Blackwatch 9 - 3 Black Star Bandits Only a dozen clashes have been seen, but BlackWatch seem to be on top of the situation.

D.D.A. 35 - 0 Alpha Legion The Asylants have had the strongest opening and have gotten nearly 3 dozen unopposed wins.

"R.V." 9 - 7 Heroes Support This match is so far pretty balanced. R.V. is a bit in front, but that advantage is pretty small.

Mad Scientist.7 10 - 22 HF Dragoons The Dragoons have had the strongest opening, and the Scientists need to step up thir game to avoid being left in the dust.

Div 6

Death`s Revenge 5 - 0 Emerald Dragons The Revengers have secured a handful unopposed wins, but it is too early to drew firm conclusions.

Death`s Stalkers 10 - 1 ARMORED CORE Less than a dozen skirmishes have been seen, but the Stalkers seem to have A.C.s number.

Defenders of Bunny 15 - 13 P.F.U.T.C. Another , -so far, close struggle. The Bunnies have a couple more wins, but the Unicorns are still swinging.

Smurf Platoon 31 - 36 Diamond Dragons The Smurfs are trying to beat the Dragons, and they ere not far behind.

Div 7

Galaxy Rangers 0 - 41 Renegades The Renegades starting offensive have overwhelmed the Rangers.

Death`s Diciples 4 - 8 M&L of B.o.P.S. After the first dozen clashes the Smurfs have gained a small advantage.

ITC 0 - 29 JC`s Rowdy Bunch JC and his Bunch have stolen several Marches on ITC and are way in front.

Div 9

M&L A.R.S.E. 6 - 0 Major Steel The Smurfs have gained a half-dozen wins, while the Steelers havent stirred yet.

E.G.K. 2 - 0 RE`s Rowdy Bunch While E.G.K. have won a couple clashes it is way too early to Draw any conclusions.

**R.V.** 13 - 19 Play From Home The Homeboys have had the best opening, but R.V. is still in the game.

Deaths Hecklers 4 - 0 Active Sleepers The Hecklers have gained a shorth handful wins, while the Sleepers still are inactive.

Div 10

Karma II 6 - 4 I.N.A. A double handful of engagements have been resolved and Karma is slightly in front.

[a-gay-bloodmage]

Hmmm, time to get to know a bit about everyone x) Can you do 2, 4, 8, 15, and 17 for the oc asks I haven't seen yet? Thanks so much, I love getting to know about your ocs :)

I’m going to be answering for my Dragon Age OCs, but I’ve got more in a non-DA setting for an original story I’m working on! If you want to learn about those, send an ask to @daughter-of-war

I’m more than happy to answer!

As usual, this got quite long! More under the cut!

2. Do any of your OCs have a physical disability?

You know what? None of my Wardens really do. I should try to work on making more diverse characters, but as of now, I think I’ll include Redren, because over-use of his magic can lead to pretty bad anemia, which is always there to a degree. And Maria, one of my non-warden OCs, is mostly blind.

4. Does your OC have anything they take pride in? (Like an award or collection?)

Redren takes immense pride in his blood magic, something he’s always defined himself as. His entire life revolved around the singular fact that he was a Blood Mage, and he learned to take pride in it. To him, the only part of himself he could take pride in was what he couldn’t ever change. Unfortunately, nobody in the world seemed to think blood magic was anything to take pride in.

Orest takes pride in his nature, seeing his personality as the most important thing about himself. His ability to have compassion, and to make people laugh, is one of his favorite things about himself. He’s not vain, but he is self-confident. To Orest, the best anyone can be is their best, and he’s proud to say that he’s doing the best he can.

Faelyn takes pride in her friends. She’d lived so long with only her cousins as friends, as soon as she found companionship in Alistair, and Morrigan, and Leliana, and Zevran, and even in Shale, Wynne, and Oghren, she sees it as one of the best things she’d ever accomplished. Sten’s still a work in progress, but she’ll get there some day!

Andrea is quite vain and self-centered at the beginning of her story, making her social status the most valued aspect of herself, something she took immense pride in. Eventually, she learned to see past that fairly narcissistic view of herself, but in the start of it all, her place in the world as the Arl of Highever’s only daughter gave her all the pride in the world.

Hundir was similar to Andrea, but as soon as he was cast from Orzammar, the object of his pride moved to his battleaxe, the weapon that led him through the Deep Roads became his source of pride, the dark crimson stain of Darkspawn blood helping him hold his head up high.

Gemma takes pride in her brand. To many casteless, the brand is an awful reminder of what they are, the failure of their birth, but as soon as she joined the Wardens, she held her head up high, pulling the hair out of her face to show the world the black brand on her face. She’d smile as she thought of what those back in Orzammar would think, to see a casteless girl take pride in her branding as worthless. Because she knew she wasn’t worthless.

8. Do you ship any 2 of your OCs?

None of my Wardens, no, but I do have a few original couples!

Jo and Renee Bircann, from Orlais, are one! Jo is genderfluid, who switches from biologically and mentally male to biologically and mentally female at random, with Jo’s birth gender being unknown (this way people can’t really call it a “fake gender”, because s/he is “actually” fe/male on any given day. Loophole, transphobes!) And Renee is his/her wife, a lesser noble-born woman forced to run from the Orlesian nobility due to her magic that manifested when she was fourteen. The two started their relationship when both of them were fleeing Orlais, meeting in the Orlesian side of the mountains near Orzammar, with Renee immediately captivated by the rugged-looking “man” in the mountains. Luckily, Renee is bisexual, and very attracted to both women and men. Jo is just two lovers in one!

Maria and Bethany are another couple! Maria is one of my most developed non-Warden OCs, seeing as she’s central to Redren’s story. An approximately 600 year old Tevinter-born sorceress, Maria is in a relationship with Bethany, a spirit of an ancient tribal princess of the nomadic Enchanted Wood Tribe of the forests of the Anderfels and Orlais. They started their relationship when Maria invited Bethany out of the Fade as a fully-formed apparition about 500 years ago, as she had been there for 500 years already, fully aware, but with no way to get back to the world of the living.

15. Do any of your OCs have pets?

All of my Wardens got the Mabari companion! How could I resist giving each of them a puppy?

Redren named his mabari Dog, because it’s simple and he couldn’t think of anything better in the moment. The name stuck, in the end, despite Alistair’s protests against naming a warhound Dog.

Orest named his mabari companion Anga, Tolkien Elven for Iron. He thought it was pretty cool, and a tough dog deserves a tough name!

Faelyn decided to call her mabari Puppy! Her first instinct was to call out "puppy!" when she saw him, so yeah, she kept the name. Cute, isn’t it?

Andrea called her mabari Prince, and she treated him like one. She’d play with him in the Highever Castle gardens, and read books with him, and brush his fur, in short, she spoiled that dog rotten. And after she lost everything except that dog, she treasured him more than anything in Thedas.

Hundir, the ever so tough Aeducan, named his new mabari Ripper. He liked how tough and intimidating it was, and over the course of the Blight, yeah, that dog earned that name tenfold.

Gemma named her mabari Flower after her favorite thing on the Surface. She had never seen a mabari before, so she was very excited over the idea of having one to call her own. The pretty little flower that saved it is forever remembered in her mabari’s name.

17. Do you have any OCs you haven’t posted about?

Maria, who I’m in the process of writing a “write-up” post about, is honestly a really fun character to develop! She’s loud, and outgoing, and certainly the pinnacle of the older-sister type. She is the one largely responsible for raising Redren, with the help of her mother, Alda, and her Dearest, Bethany. She’s been blind for nearly six hundred years, after being bound to the Fade by the magic of spirit-channeling and Necromancy. To say she’s a living corpse is untrue, but she is essentially frozen as an eighteen-year-old for the foreseeable future. She’s able to see the spirits of people, animals, and living plants, making her able to navigate with no problem. Spirits free from the “prison” that is the mortal flesh are able to be seen with perfect clarity for her. She’s slightly infamous from Tevinter to Ferelden, however, known to many as an Enchantress that seduced men who later went “missing.” Human blood is incredibly good for potions and food, in her mind. She gave up the habit about two hundred years ago, but that doesn’t stop her from telling story after story about the fun she had with the witch-burners and Templars before they died, though.

Bethany, as mentioned above, was a tribal princess of the Enchanted Wood Tribe of Orlais and the Anderfels. Elf-blooded a million times over, due to the mixture of elf and human makeup of the nomadic tribe, Bethany was considered the most beautiful of her tribe, with wavy blonde hair to her ankles and green-blue eyes, she was sacrificed to Desire Demons in order to keep her tribe alive through the unpredicted and harsh winter. She sacrificed herself willingly, but she’s always wondered what happened to her beloved tribe. She’s a full-bodied and fully aware ghost now, forever reminded of her sacrifice by the large hole though her chest where her heart was taken, and her eternal forced nudity. She doesn’t mind the nudity, though.

Alda, Maria’s mother, and Bethany’s Dear Mother, is the matriarch of the village all my Dragon Age OCs live in, which is made of nearly all apostates driven from their homes or Circle escapees. She’s a proud Andrastian, but not opposed to the Ancient Elven or Tribal Gods and Goddesses. She’s a kind and loving old lady, physically around 70, as she stopped her aging after her daughter. A spirit healer, she’s kept alive in the same type of way Wynne is, except she chose to be kept alive by the Fade. She’s incredibly matronly, and helped to raise Redren as his Auntie.

And many more, but way less developed ones!

I’m also making playlists for each of my Wardens, so if you have any requests for what character I should prioritize, please reply! Thanks~!
