✯ ♞ ❤ ➹ for canem and nehnara

canem:

✯ - religious beliefs

i dont think shes very religious at all. she thinks religion is interesting but she isnt religious herself because she feels like everything can be explained like. Physically.

♞ - a time they’ve felt powerful

when she was made inquisitor and people cheered for her she felt powerful. cause she knows shes very physically powerful but being respected is a different kind of power shes not used to. 

❤ - marital status (married, unmarried, estranged, widowed)

i like to think that her and josie get married eventually… but i dont think theyre married yet

➹ - Varric’s nickname for them (even if they’ve never met)

goldilocks (her hair isnt blond but shes gold)

nehnara:

✯ - religious beliefs

hes dalish! he believes in the creators so it really upsets him when he finds out about the evanuris. he becomes less religious at that point but still feels like the creators as a concept are like. important and good to him? like he takes the things they stand for and tries to separate them from the idea of the evanuris and think of them as more of like . folktale gods. 

♞ - a time they’ve felt powerful

when he uses his knight enchanter sword he feels super powerful lmao. also hes a power bottom sometimes so like that i guess

❤ - marital status (married, unmarried, estranged, widowed)

he wants to marry dorian so bad :( he wants to be like “thats my HUSBAND” but he cant.. so hes not married

➹ - Varric’s nickname for them (even if they’ve never met)

[abiik]

what creeds/mottos do your OCs live by? what did they learn growing up that they take to heart as they're older?

oh!!! this is a very good question!! it definitely made me think esp bc i don't have this things mappes out in words yet.

-nikita.

nikita learned growing up from her mother, that she's worthy of love and affection and care -- true love and affection whether that was romantic or platonic or familial. it was definitely a hard lesson to cling to considering all of her conditioning and the mental and physical abuse that she went through, and it doesn't become apparent, TRULY until she adopts abrahim. she tries to cling to it as she grew up but it was hard when she kept being told she was worth nothing unless she was useful to her father and handlers. and once she realizes this and once she's free of the expectations of others, she really only truly wishes to spread love and care to everyone, if not for the betterment of the world, then in her mother's memory. she takes all of the things that hydra had conditioned her to be, using her abilities for torture and death, and twists it, using it then to heal and help others in need.

-zoe.

zoe lives by navajo and blackfoot belief systems and values life as something very precious, but because of her role in the universe, her lineage, she has some power over certain parts of life. of course, she's not inclined to interfere but she has a hard time sitting on the sidelines waiting for people to be slaughtered or hurt by others when she has the power to step in and change things.

zoe lives by a literal code, being a superhero/vigilante and all. that unless completely necessary, she would not kill. she doesn't want to hurt people, and her gran gran had taught her the importance of human life, that there's good and bad in all people, that anyone can be bad and anyone can be good. she was also taught the importance of control, the importance of not acting on her own terms, of playing god bc of the power she has, and that she should use it, instead, to aid humans and the universe, unlike her father.

her code is similar to diana's in a way -- the woman played a part in raising her and they have very similar goals to aid the humans of earth; only zoe's extends to her own planet's people and the planets of people her father has hurt -- that if it gets the job done, if it defeats the evil, then it's necessary. zoe has particular beef with bruce about the joker's liveliness but we won't get into that.

- este.

este is a proud dalish; she believes in the gods and in her future position as keeper. from the time that she could understand, este held a deep respect for her clan and for dalish tradition, and she always held a certain type of responsibility for her clan. her mother was keeper when she was born and until she was around ten, and despite este never knowing for sure, at that point, that she could eventually be keeper, she still felt very protective of her clan. she's loyal to the dalish, to her clan, and to her family. this carries over into her time in the inquisition which leads to butting heads with solas a lot, especially at the very beginning.

however, ever since she was a child, her mothers -- nehnara and soufei -- stressed the importance of being open minded, of being curious, of yearning for knowledge and este isn't afraid to ask question upon question upon question. soufei, being a warrior for clan lavellan, a protector, also stressed the importance of using the information, whether that is against eventual enemies or to create long lasting relationships. she thirsts for knowledge and when she first joins the inquisition, her curiosity is regarded as almost childlike despite her age, even if at the very beginning, este still very much regards everyone as a potential threat.

send me asks about my ocs!!!

#thank you so much!!! #also if this is a little blah i apologize im very jittery rn to have asks at all!! #oc ramblings #oc: nikita blau #oc: zoe huang #oc: evun'aste lavellan #h talks. #my ocs #oc asks #mutuals #tw abuse mention

Under a Broken Sky

@empresstress13 commissioned me to continue the AU where Ellana and Beatrix Tabris are cousins, and I was all too delighted to! I had such fun reimagining the opening of the game with Bea included :)

Thank you, my friend, for commissioning me!

My Ko-Fi || My Commissions (Slots currently open for March/April!)

Pairing: Beatrix Tabris x Leliana

Rating: General

**********

The snow of the Frostbacks crunched under Beatrix Tabris’s boots as she approached Haven, her stomach in thick knots of anxiety. She’d been on her way to the Temple of Sacred Ashes when the explosion happened. It lit up the whole sky, and lit up every drop of blood in her body with fear.

Leliana. Ellana. Everyone who went there in good faith -

She’d hurried to Haven after that, her heart in her throat the whole way. Leliana’s name was the one singing through her mind over and over and over again. It had been so long since they had seen each other. Leliana was busy acting as Left Hand of the Divine and Bea was busy acting as Spymaster of Amaranthine. It couldn’t be over like this, it could not be over like this, she would get to Haven and Leliana would be okay, and Bea would hold her again.

And then, every so often, her thoughts would drift to Ellana Lavellan, her newly discovered cousin, who’d been sent by her clan to the Conclave as a spy. They’d only just found each other. She couldn’t be ripped away now.

Bea had not been with Nehnara Surana to the Temple of Sacred Ashes when her dearest friend was trying to save Arl Eamon. They had not reunited by that point. But Bea knew what it was supposed to be like from Nehn’s descriptions - massive, ancient, made entirely of stone and yet somehow alive, so grand it seemed impossible that the mountains had not simply birthed it on their own.

It was only a crater now.

She could see that now, just as she could see the mountain passes swarming with demons and soldiers. Just as she could see the angry green gash in the sky, sparking and twisting over and over again. Haven was not a Haven at all. It was a madhouse.

“You,” she barked at the nearest soldier as she drew close to the chaos, her hands already drifting to the hilts of her knives. “Who’s in charge?”

“Seeker Pentaghast,” he said. “She’s with the prisoner now. The one who caused all of this.”

Cassandra Pentaghast. The Right Hand of the Divine. If she survived then maybe - maybe - Leliana had too.

“Take me to them,” Bea said in her most commanding tone. “Now.”

It was hard to believe that the scrappy girl who had grown up in Denerim’s alienage had a commanding tone now, but she did. She was a Spymaster after all. But when she stepped into the old Chantry and followed the trembling soldier down into the dank prison beneath it, she started to feel like the frightened, powerless, scrappy little girl she had once been. If Leliana was not there - if Cassandra told her the worst -

But a wooden door creaked open, and Leliana was there, beautiful as sunrise, whole and healthy in her lilac and silverite armor, the hood draped over her head. Her arms were crossed and her back was to Bea but Bea would have known her anywhere, and she could have wept for joy to see her. Leliana. She was safe.

Cassandra Pentaghast was in the room too, and so was someone else, kneeling on the floor, bound in chains - the prisoner who had caused all this destruction.

“Ellana?”

The word escaped Bea’s lips before she could stop herself. All three women in the room turned to her - Cassandra, Leliana, and, yes, Ellana Lavellan, her long lost cousin, swaying on her knees and looking disoriented and angry, her hands bound in chains, green light coming from the space between them.

“Bea,” Leliana breathed, turning. She started towards Bea but paused. Of course. They were conducting an interrogation. Leliana could not seem soft now.

“Let her go,” Bea said at once. “She had nothing to do with this.”

“Do you have any proof of that?” Cassandra asked, her voice tight with rage. “Because before you stands the only survivor of that Maker forsaken temple. The last woman to see Divine Justinia alive.”

The Divine was dead?

It made sense. Bea had seen the devastation. But still her mind was reeling. The Divine was dead. How would this affect the war between mages and templars? Her sources in various chantries around Thedas? The political situation for the Wardens?

And Ellana was the only one alive? How?

“I told you,” Ellana said, and her tone was hard, too. The kind of anger that came from fear. “I don’t know what happened to the Divine. I don’t know what happened at all. I -”

Before she could finish her sentence, awful crackles of green light sprouted from her left palm, enveloping the cell in their eerie glow. Ellana bent double, crying out in pain, cradling her left hand, and that was when Bea saw it - the gash of light in her left palm, a mirror image of the cracked sky outside.

“It’s getting worse,” Cassandra said, tersely. “We need to move, now. We need to get her to the Breach.”

The fit subsided. Ellana looked up, angry and confused once more.

“What? Where are you taking me?”

“I’ll be right there, cousin,” Bea said at once. “We’ll go together.”

Ellana looked at Bea, a long and searching gaze, her grey eyes flinty. Then she nodded, and hauled herself off of the floor of the cell.

Leliana caught Bea’s arm as they walked out of the cell, pulling her aside.

“My love,” she murmured, catching Bea in a quick embrace. “I have missed you.”

Bea pushed aside all thoughts of the broken sky and the turmoil outside and the strange energy radiating from Ellana’s hand (she needed to write to Nehnara at once, Nehn would know what it was, Nehn would know what to do) and focused only on the way Leliana smelled. Like lavender and clean cotton and Andraste’s grace.

“She didn’t do it, Leli,” Bea said at once, tightening her hold on Leliana. Maker, it felt so good to have her in her arms again. “Ellana. Whatever happened here, it wasn’t her. I know it.”

Leliana drew back and cupped Bea’s face. “You always see the good in people, Bea. And I know that she is your kin, but the evidence is damning. We need to see where it leads.”

Leliana was right of course. But Bea knew Ellana was innocent. She knew it in her bones. And Ellana was family, and Bea would protect her however she had to.

“I’m coming with you. I need to see where it leads, too.”

“I would have you nowhere else. I have - it has been so hard, Bea. These last few days. Justinia -”

Leliana’s voice broke. She looked away. Bea turned her lover’s face back to her and kissed her sweetly on the mouth and for a moment there was nothing but that kiss, perfect as spring’s first rain.

“Let’s go. We’re going to figure this out. We are.”

And Bea knew that in her bones, too. She was a master of spies and a scrappy alienage woman and she protected the people she loved no matter what it took. Together, they walked back out to the fresh snow and the broken sky and towards what was left of the Temple of Sacred Ashes.

INANALLAS IS BUILT ON DICHOTOMY. They both act like a coward and a mad man with a death wish. They claim utter incompetency as a leader yet when under the impression they’re not in charge they’re extremely capable at leading and managing people and tasks. Desperately unsure of themselves in social situations but shockingly aggressive in a fight. Seems to be a machine running on endless energy yet constantly complains about being dead tired. It’s an internal struggle that’s externally visible in their affinity for the spirits Patience and Action. They’re also deeply curious and invested in the occult and larger mysteries of Thedas and can come off as Pretty Spooky. 

BACKGROUND

TL; DR

▪︎ Born into clan Anurlal ▪︎ Meets her spirit wolf companions at about 3-4 in the Fade ▪︎ Brought into clan Lavellan at 6-8 to be the first ▪︎ Effectively adopted as new sibling by Thenvas, Samahllen and Nehnara ▪︎ First meets the spirit of the ( mainly dalish ) concept of fen'harel ( it’s complicated ) at about 12 ▪︎ 16-17 recieves vallaslin ▪︎ Teenage boy from clan killed in fight with bandits, clan thrown into uproar ▪︎ Inan is alerted to Thenvas’ plan to attack the village the bandits are in by Samahllen, goes to stop him ▪︎ Utter failure, saves Alhanin ( first hunter ) who was already trying to stop them, helps Thenvas and lets his crew escape, ends up trying to do damage control, then has to fight templars and escape ▪︎ Becomes even more insecure about becoming keeper, eventually talks to Deshanna when it causes a meltdown ▪︎ Conclave is announced and she and Deshanna agree this is a good time for her to step down, honorably resigns as first under pretext of being a spy for the clan ▪︎ DA:I happens, and we all know how messy that was. 

LONG Inanallas isn't from clan Lavellan originally. They were born into clan Anurlal, a clan that travels mainly through the Anderfels and surrounding areas. They were the youngest of 6 children and came into magic ( and dreamer capacities ) at the very young age of 3. It took awhile for anyone to realize exactly that was what was going on however, as it manifested mainly as Fade travel in dreams and periods of inactivity the clan at first chalked up to daydreaming and a vivid imagination. It was during this period they met the twin spirits Patience and Action, who they cite as the only reason they survived in the Fade at that age. When their clan finally figured it out they started magical training with the keeper immediately. However there was lingering concern about having such a young dreamer mage in an area with so much death. When they were about 6 clan Anurlal was made aware of the fact clan Lavellan currently had no apprentice mages and after some deliberation they decided to send Inanallas to clan Lavellan to protect them. It was a very hard period for them since they were too young to really understand why they were being sent away and were a painfully shy child. To make matters worse children from the clan started to come into magic after they'd arrived which made them feel even more useless and unwanted. 

 The saving grace for Inanallas was the siblings, Nehnara, Samahllen and Thenvas who basically adopted them on sight thanks to Thenvas' Magic Obsession. They spent a lot of their childhood from then on studying then passing it on Thenvas and acting as a test dummy for Thenvas and Samahllen's fighting practice. It was also around this time They and Thenvas began working through the idea of magic tattoos.

 Not long after they got their vallaslin at about 16-17 another member of their clan was killed by bandits camped out in a nearby village. There was an uproar in the clan about what to do and while the elders decided it was wisest to not engage and just get out. Inan had the sinking feeling that Thenvas was mustering some of the more radical youths to retaliate but ignored it to avoid the confrontation. Then Samahllen came to them in the middle of the night to get them to help stop Thenvas. By the time they got there Alhanin, one of the lead hunters and a sort of voice of reason in the clan, had already been forced to engage with the radicals had killed one and the village was on fire. With Alhanin pretty much catatonic at having killed her own kin it was left to Inanallas sort out, first ordering Samahllen to get her out of there and leave it to them ( shit plan ). They barely even started to fight when they realized Thenvas had been wounded already, lost all stomach for it and just healed him and told them to get the fuck out and not to come back to the clan. 

Then they stayed behind to try and do damage control on the fire when the local templars noticed the magic and came for them. Upon realizing that the damage from the fight was making things worse Inanallas ran for it and went awol for like 3 days to keep them away from the clan. When they came back they were crippled by the guilt of how much of a massive failure they were as a First and became increasingly depressed and self-loathing over the years. Finally they couldn't bear it anymore and spoke to Deshanna and asked to be removed from the position of first. Deshanna agreed reluctantly and asked Inanallas to go and spy on the conclave as a means of giving them a way to gracefully bow out from being first. And here we are today. The rest is Verse Dependent.

Maroon

Maroon: What are you most passionate about?

Kyria Cousland: Family, Country, Honor, and Andraste! She is a bit of an idealist and gets really swept up in ideas of chivalry and noblesse oblige. Also a bit animal crazy; in particular loves dogs (because: Ferelden) but also loves horses and is a very skilled rider. 

Beatrix Tabris: Beatrix is passionate about elven rights, about her community, and about supporting those who have been oppressed or made vulnerable. Also, a rather passionate individual in general. She also loves berries, flowers, and music. Has a real thing for pretty (but still functional!) blades. 

Nehnara Surana: Freedom and knowledge. She also really loves books. And really if she has her way she really loves luxury: fine wine and food, gorgeous clothing, the whole nine yards! 

Syndis Brosca: Fighting! Not exactly violence in of itself (though a little bit that too), but really the thrill of the fight itself. 

Elraen Mahariel: Elraen becomes very easily impassioned. She feels strongly for her clan and friends, and she makes friends pretty easily. Except for when she doesn’t because she managed to insult someone within like.. .5 seconds of meeting them. She’s not very aggressive or mean-spirited, but she is very, very frank and says exactly what’s on her mind as soon as she thinks it. She loves animals as well! She spent a lot of time with Maren and the halla with clan Sabrae. Oh! Scarves! She collects bright scarves! 

Mirabel Hawke: Unlike Elraen, “passionate” is probably not the best descriptor for Mirabel. Not that she can’t get really invested in things, but she’s . .  .tired. She was tired before arriving in Kirkwall, and boy, Kirkwall did not make that any better. She is passionate about her family (which includes blood and found family as equally important). Also feels strongly about helping people learn to help and take care of themselves.

Evangeline Hawke: Passionate about tea, sweets, kindness, and smiles! Seriously a sweetheart. Also passionate about helping underdogs. Also passionate about people: meeting new people, getting to know them, working alongside them! 

Grace Trevelyan: THE REVOLUTION. My angry, angry rogue Trevelyan who really wants to stick it to the man. 

Lilith Trevelyan: Feels passionately about not dying? She’s a bit cautious - likes to think things through (or to death) before dedicating herself to a choice. Also loves books, knitting, crochet, embroidering, and NATURE. She loves the great outdoors. The great outdoors does not love her back. 

Eve Trevelyan: Tries very, very hard to be logical and careful, but tends to become emotional and reckless for her family and loved ones. Is very physical, and though she doesn’t enjoy actual fighting she does love training and sparing. Also loves games - strategy or luck based!

Esther Trevelyan:Loves family, friends, music, singing, and gardening! Is also pretty religious, though her personal views don’t line up 100% with Chantry dogma. She’s also passionate about people - loves meeting new people, hearing their stories, helping if she can.

Adhlea Lavellan: Family and community. What she views as her community expands over the course of DAI, but it doesn’t change the amount of care and loyalty she feels. She’s very protective of children - all children - and about people having the chance to grow and learn. 

Revasulahn Lavellan: Is passionate about protecting people and doing her best (though she sometimes doubts herself). Loves music, stories, and her heritage. Is very close to her Aunt (Deshanna) and to Adhlea. Also adores children; sometimes feels anxious talking with adults but never does when interacting with children.  

Svetlana Cadash: Is a little bit of a troll… like she doesn’t go to the point of cruelty usually, but she greatly enjoys messing with people. She is very, very loyal and protective of her friends. Also loves baking! 

Innanis Adaar: Partying, magic, and learning. Innanis is #1 Party Girl Nerd. Loves to have a good time, but also loves knowledge. In particular she’s interested in magic and astronomy. Innanis, Sera, and Dagna are in a polyamorous relationship, and they are absolutely terrifying in the best possible way. It’s like Thedas Mythbusters plus a side of rebellion.  

Thanks for the ask! ♥

[empresstress13]

If you're familiar with it, how do your OCs solve "the Trolley Problem"?

.  … This is a mean question. XD 

I’ve heard several variations of “the Trolley Problem”, but it basic: trolley going fast about to hit 5 or so people trapped on the track, you can’t break in time but you can pull the lever to switch tracks but there is one person trapped there that you’ll hit as well? Sometimes that one is supposed to be a child or specifically your child? 

Also, which OCs? I’ll answer with those I have the clearest idea of response for.

Nehnara Surana: I mean… .I feel like she’d do something crazy with magic to the trolley as she jumped out of it while cursing a whole bunch… but that may be cheating? She likes cheating. She’s ok with that. To get more to the heart of this “moral problem” … . .in theory she’d say you should do whatever saves the highest number of people possible. In practice if this was a version where it was a choice between strangers and a loved one … .she’d save her loved one. She would try to save as many people as possible but … . .I suppose it also depends on the scale? Because while she DID have Morrigan go though with the dark ritual, if that hadn’t been an option she would have sacrificed herself and possible others to end the blight - logically she knows that the blight HAS to be ended. If you are trying to force some situation where it’s a couple strangers or Beatrix & Zev? She’d choose Beatrix & Zev.   

Beatrix Tabris: Sooooo… .all of my OCs like to cheat? She’d switch to the track that had the less people involved and then try some crazy-ass, death defying, rogue move to jump out the front and try grabbing the person and rolling out of the way in time. Is that a smart plan: probably not. Would she make it: no idea. It’s not that she doesn’t believe in a “no-win” situation, she’s seen no-win situations and knows they exist. She just refuses to let that dictate her actions. She’s the type who when put into a bad spot will be 100% willing to try and do something absolutely out-there for the result she wants. Sometimes this leads to horrible shit, but she’d rather try and fail than not try. 

Svetlana Cadash: Ok. I put Svetlana on here because in ACTION she’d probably have a similar response as Bea, although she’s slightly less likely to do something … stupid? However, if you were to pose “the trolley problem” to her as a hypothetical question, she’d most likely give you so completely ridiculous response just to see the look on your face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N_RZJUAQY4.

Katrina Cadash: She would go with the choice that seemed the most logical to her at the time. Most likely whichever saved the most people. 

Adhlea Lavellan: So, compared to Beatrix and Svetlana, Adhlea is the least likely of these 3 to do something with a high percentage of failure. If she thought it was at least 50/50, she’d go for it. Otherwise she would do whatever she thought would save the most lives. However, if this is the version were one of her own children is the single person on the track… she’s my only OC who currently has children in her canon. If she saw her own, or actually any, child on the other track … .I don’t think she could mentally do it. Though I also think the guilt would eat at her horribly if something like that happened.

Lilith Trevelyan: Would do whatever saved the most lives. Though again, she’s more likely to try something sneaky like veilstrike the trolley out of the way while fadestepping to safety or something … .

Rurisa Adaar: similar in response to Adhlea, but she doesn’t currently have children…. 

There’s a couple other OCs (shoves the other 20 into my closet and under my bed), but here are the first responses that came to mind? Sorry for the long post! It was an interesting (and cruel) question that really got me trying to think. :)

What about Lizzie, Jane, Elinor, & Marianne?
