Are not there little chapters in everybody's life, that seem to be nothing, and yet affect all the rest of the history?

Vasilija was in the midst of a debate with someone.

The consternation on her face, a red brow knitted, indicated her rising frustrations. What they were arguing over was unknown. Something relating to the cargo on board the looming ship--which was huge, its intimidating gun ports gleaming in the afternoon sunlight. She said little by way of words, her mouth set into a firm and disappointed line. The man she debated with was the stark opposite. His hands moved in time to his explanations, the specific words lost to their environment: the hustle and bustle of the docks, the cry of birds, the gentle lapping of water against ship keels.

The fiery red head muttered something low and indecipherable. The man ceded, pulling away with a bow of his head.

Adjusting the tricorn on her head, Vasilija moved to return to her ship when a voice sounded at her side. Her icy eyes landed on three Mabari’s first, one after the other, and finally the woman who had posed the question. She was tense and taut from her argument, prepared for another altercation.

The Inquisition. Hm. It was rare for anyone to ask of them. They were still a small scale group, despised by the Chantry, mistrusted by Nevarra and Antiva and many more. To some, the were an extremist movement, power hungry and dangerous. Never mind the hole in the sky. Never mind the demons, the dead, the Divine.

Vasilija had been dealing with them in secret for some weeks now, providing supplies and intel where needed. Her suspicions, though, were naturally raised. It was a protective maneuver rather than anything legitimately insulting. It was safer to question than to assume trust and have her ass handed to authorities. As it stood right now, the political climate in the south was innervated at best. And with mages and templars running amok independently it was better to assume everyone was untrustworthy until they proved otherwise.

“Depends who’s askin'.” She adjusted her stance, her crimson brow still pulled low.

"An ally, potentially. I heard they're researching how to close the holes in the sky. Wanted to get in on that attempt." Kalyn leaned back on a foot, using her staff as a stabilizer. Partially to appear calm and collected, and partially to show off the staff and her mage statues.

"Heard things went ars up and they're the only ones doing anything about it. Mages are too dispersed to do much, templars are useless as usual, Wardens went awol, and the chantry won't get off their arses. Shame honestly, I thought that a huge glowing green hole would be enough of a signal to get over themselves and their grudges, but I guess they're waiting for the maker to send a bigger sign." Somehow that kept happening, even a Blight couldn't get people to stop their scheming. She rolled her eyes and shot off a smirk.

"I've known quite a few of those groups and done a lot of independent research on plenty of beasties. Wanted to try throwing my coins into the ring see if they help out." The eldest Mabari barked in conformation, sitting politely at her side and jutting out its chest to try and appear formal.

Inquiries of the Inquisition

[suranaofthefrost]

OC questions that helped me with characterization:

On a scale of “is occasionally forced to bathe” to “Instagram model with sponsors to hoe for” how involved is your OC’s Skincare routine?

What are your OC’s food preferences (flavors/textures/spiciness/calories/ when and how they eat) and how did they get that way?

What’s something pointless/petty/unimportant that IRRATIONALLY ANNOYS THE HELL out of your OC?

What’s your OC’s response to being asked for money by a homeless person?

Does your OC get lost easily? What do they do when they do get lost?

What would STOP your OC from Doing The Right Thing in a tense situation?

Realistically, could your OC (in their normal circumstances- i.e. at thier own house/battlecamp/spaceship etc.) keep a small child alive for a week if they had to?  A Dog?  A Houseplant? A rock with a  smiley face painted on?

If your OC had to take the S.A.T. tomorrow with one night to prep, how would they do?  both emotionally and academically.

What would cause your OC to chose to do something petty/pointlessly cruel?

On a scale of “Complete and Justified nervous breakdown” to “Conquer The Entire Galaxy and become an Immortal God-Emperor”, how well would your OC handle being abducted by Aliens?

What song is 100% garunteed to get your OC beyond turnt and will be sung loudly and emabarrasingly, either in public or the shower?

What perfectly-normal-to-them-thing does your OC do that confuses/pisses off/terrifies thier neighbors?

Under what circumstances would your OC appear naked in public?

What thing did your OC’s parents do that your OC wishes they had a better explanation for?

How often does your OC “zone out” or do things on autopilot and how severe have the problems that have arisen from that been?

How strong or weak is your OC’s Impulse control? What’s the worst thing that happened becuase of thier Impulsivity or inability to be so?

How does your OC sabotage themselves? 

What’s the trashiest item in your OC’s wardrobe, when was the last time they wore it and why do they still have it?

How Dehydrated is your OC right now? Are they going to fix this?

What’s your OC smell like?  no, not that “Vanilla and Anxiety” evocative stuff, realistically.  Body odor? what have they been touching all day? When was thier last shower? Did they put on any kind of artificial scent?

It had been at least nine years since Kalyn had set foot on Thedas. The Warden was nervous, to say the least, but all of her research had pointed her back here, and when she heard of the Fade Rifts she knew she needed to return. By her side Cherry Pie nudged her hip, his big dopey, greying face grinning up at her and stubby tail wagging hard enough to make his whole backside sway. She smiled down at the old man, knowing he wanted to cheer her up and give her enough confidence to continue on. She wasn't ready to answer the inevitable questions nor the demands she work to clean a mess she hadn't been here to see made -she was so done cleaning up messes, it was really a wonder Thedas remained standing- but if she refrained from answering questions too directly she figured she could avoid being found out and avoid the inquiries.

The pups, both fully grown Mabari's but still young enough to have the same energy their father had when she first adopted him, were sniffing around. Wynn sniffed out a ship, barking and calling her over with her big black maw hanging in obvious self-pride.

"Think you found us a ride?" Kalyn chuckled, walking over and adjusting her bun from habit. She looked up at the ship and saw some people moving cargo about, a woman with vivid red hair nearby. "Excuse me-" she began. "Might I ask if you know anyone who might do dealings with this new Inquisition?"

Irving telling Surana he's disappointed in her is the worst thing Surana has heard, and it sting the most.

With every mistake she makes, every time she loses someone, its those words she hears in her head over and over. She'll probably never shake the feeling of anguish from hearing that. Despite all she's accomplished she will always view the day she helped Jowan and disappointed Irving so much as the worst mistake of her life.

[suranaofthefrost]

Favorite Surana things in the circle:

How EXTRA she is! "Any spell will do" proceeds to summon a damned blizzard and freeze the door.

"Ooooor, since we cant get through the door we can forget this foolishness and leave." And how theres an option to put your 2 cents in all the time about how they should just talk to Irving despite helping them the whole way.

Playing PC DA:O is SOOOOO much different than xbox DA:O. Doesnt help that the last games I played on it are Skyrim and Conan so I'm used to moving the camera around and can't on here!

Kalyns phylactery is still at Denerim. I had forgotten this fact, and apparently so has the rest of Thedas.

If anyone wanted to hunt her down, they could do so with her phylactery, despite her being a Warden and no longer a member of the Circle.
