#Anaan Adaar

[sirvinter]

finally back to inquisition in my most recent trilogy replay, here are some screenshots of Anaan-asala from my last go at it 🖤

[velnat004]

more on my "Qunari's are Turkish-coded because i said so" bullshit aside from the ' anaan means your mum in Turkish' jazz, i can see some similarities with Qun-lat and Turkish the way both of them are pronounced as they're written and accent sounds similar too? i'd love to see other Tal-vashoths in the next game other than our little adaar :3 that being said, yes my corelation to Qunaris in DA to Turkish culture is self-indulgent and yes i'm gonna be loud about it, both about the Qunari AND the Turkish stuff.

Adaar Loves Horn Rubs

Inquisitor Anaan Adaar forged a strong bond with his comrade, Iron Bull, throughout their time together in the Inquisition. They had fought side by side, facing countless dangers and emerging victorious against challenging foes. Dragons, demons, vints, Avvar, it didn’t matter… the bigger the better.  Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of their missions, they found solace in their camaraderie and shared experiences.

One day, as they set up camp after a particularly grueling battle, Adaar found himself leaning against a tree, lost in his thoughts. Iron Bull noticed his kadan's pensive expression and approached him with a friendly grin.

"Hey, boss. Something on your mind?" Iron Bull asked, his deep voice filled with genuine concern.

Adaar looked up, meeting Iron Bull's gaze. "Just reflecting on everything we've been through, Bull. Sometimes it's hard to believe we've made it this far."

Iron Bull nodded, his expression reflecting the weight of their shared experiences. "Yeah, it's been a hell of a ride. But we're still standing, and we've got each other's backs."

A brief silence hung in the air, both warriors lost in their thoughts. Then, Iron Bull's face broke into a mischievous smile.

"You know, kadan," he said, a playful glint in his eye, "there's one thing I've noticed about you. You seem to enjoy it when I rub your horns."

Adaar's eyes widened in surprise, and a faint blush colored his cheeks. He hadn't expected Iron Bull to bring up such a personal and intimate detail, but he couldn't deny the truth in his words. There was an undeniable pleasure in the sensation of his horns being rubbed.

With a smirk, Adaar responded, "Well, I must admit, Bull, there's something oddly soothing about it. It's like a massage for the soul."

Iron Bull chuckled deeply. "I knew it! You're not the only one, kadan. Many Qunari find it relaxing. It's like scratching an itch you never knew you had."

Curiosity piqued, Adaar asked, "Is it a common practice among the Qunari?"

Iron Bull shrugged. "Can't speak for all of them, but I've met a fair number who enjoy it. Maybe it's something about the horns being a part of our identity and having them tended to... It just feels good."

A playful grin tugged at the corners of Adaar's lips. "Well, then, Bull, I suppose you've discovered my secret weakness. Are you offering to give me a horn rub?"

Iron Bull's eyes sparkled with mirth. "Of course, kadan. I'm always here to provide a quality horn-rubbing service. Just let me know when you're in need."

They shared a hearty laugh, the weight of their battles momentarily forgotten. In that lighthearted moment, Adaar realized that it wasn't just the physical act of rubbing his horns that brought him joy; it was the connection he shared with Iron Bull, the trust and companionship that had developed between them.

A few days later, Iron Bull surprised Adaar with a small jar of horn balm. He had crafted it himself, a blend of soothing oils and herbs specifically designed for the care of Qunari horns.

"Thought you might appreciate this, boss," Iron Bull said, handing the jar to Adaar. "It'll keep your horns healthy and make the rubbing even more enjoyable."

Adaar examined the jar, a mixture of gratitude and amusement on his face. "You truly think of everything, Bull. Thank you."

As the nights grew colder and their adventures continued, Adaar would occasionally retrieve the jar of horn balm and indulge in the sensation of rubbing it onto his horns. The fragrant oils would soothe his senses, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and contentment.

In those moments, Adaar realized that it wasn't just about the physical pleasure of having his horns rubbed or the practicality of the horn balm. It was about the bond he shared with Iron Bull, the understanding and care that transcended words.

Through the simple act of tending to Adaar's horns, Iron Bull exhibited a great deal of love, nurturing a connection that went deeper than battles and war. And in those shared moments, Adaar found solace and a reminder that even in the harshest of worlds, there was room for gentleness and compassion.

@beelzebard’s Anaan Adaar! I had a lot of fun messing with this style :D

[ID in Alt]

[blighted-elf]

Here's a bit about my Taahn. I'm taking part of the in-game Codex and limited Hercinia lore and just running with it :’)

"Taahn Adaar knows little about her parent’s former life under the Qun. That’s not to say she never asked, rather that they didn’t wish to share too much. All she knows is that they both struggled with their allocated place in Par Vollen, with her father Anaan being a member of the Antaam, and her mother Meraad being part of the Ariqun. This quietly bonded the two, despite such relationships not being allowed under the Qun. When Meraad realised she was with child, the two of them planned their escape with other would-be defectors. They made their way to the less strict coastal city of Hercinia in the Free Marches. The group was met with a lot of distrust from the mostly human inhabitants but were eventually somewhat tolerated once the expected attempt at Qun conversion never came. Instead, the small community lived simple lives and kept to themselves.

When a young Taahn manifested a gift for magic after she accidentally froze another of the Vashoth children in place, her parents arranged for one of the Saarebas to teach her how to control her talents. She joined the Valo-kas mercenary company as a young adult, making a name for herself over the years as a capable and powerful mage. Taahn was hired to provide protection at the Conclave, as a neutral party to stand between templars and human mages."

Her parents:

I’ll add more to this once The Veilguard releases. Unless there’s something that contradicts it, I like to think that with the Inquisition disbanded, Taahn mostly spends her time in Kirkwall at Varric’s insistence. There she is close to her fellow Valo-kas, her parents as well as her love Josephine in Antiva. She makes the trip North very often and they're never apart for long.

Calling upon Adaar players to tell me about their character's backstory as I'm fleshing mine out finally.

What part of the Free Marches did they grow up in?

Why did their parents leave the Qun?

Would they ever consider joining the Qun themselves?

Do they have any siblings?

How well did they integrate into mostly human society, if at all?

What are their relationships within the Valo-kas like then vs now?

How did they initially join up with the mercenary company?

Anything else you can think of!

Have @beelzebard 's handsome boy Anaan!

[ID: two screenshots of dragon age inquisition ocs made by me. on the left is anaan adaar, a qunari man with pointy ears, bright green eyes, white, vertical stripes under his eyes and one white stripe from the bridge to his nose up to his scalp. On the right is Rael Lavellan, a brown skinned elf with pointy ears and white vallaslin of Dirthamen. He has untidy black hair and is looking to the right side of the picture. End ID]

@rainwolfheart have the two boys (my only da:i boys) i told you about :D

(Sorry for the blurry picture of Rael, I didn’t find a better one.)

Anaan Adaar is a rogue/bard. He has a surprisingly soft voice for a man of his size and likes singing (he collects songs from all sorts of places). He’s the herbalist of his mercenary group and doesn’t enjoy fighting. But he does like children, telling stories, vegetarian food and daydreaming.

Rael Lavellan is the apprentice to Keeper Istimaethoriel and mostly connected to Dirthamen, God Of Secrets. He has a very jovial demeanor and makes friends easily, but he doesn’t actually share a lot of stuff and is very wary of outsiders even if he doesn’t show it. He’s a Rift Mage/Keeper (subclass wise), most susceptible to rage demons - something most people wouldn’t suspect at first glance. He cannot for the life of him understand chess or human rules about nudity.

[kaaras-adaar-a]

// I’m pretty sure Anaan (Kaaras’ dad) fell in love with Aban (Kaaras’ mother) when she called him an arsehole (sarcastically) in common tongue and he only just understood what she called him. 

Kaaras’ dad was honestly the softest ball of burly man muscle ever. Also, he was highly attracted to any woman that could smash him intellectually, and that was Aban. She might not be a physical fighter, but she could outwit him in an argument and put him back in place with a quick tongue.

Your ocs + their reactions to when they first realized they have a crush on their love interest

Keira CouslandThe realization was... tricky for Keira. The last person that she slept with was murdered in front of her. So it was like... “Oh he’s cute... oh shit I like him. How is this going to go wrong now.”

Tamsyn Amell It took a while for Tamsyn. Sex was easy, she and Zevran had both done the the casual sex thing before. But feelings are messy and other than a couple crushes when she was a lot younger, it wasn’t anything she’d done before. So not only did it take a while to realize what was going on, it was even harder to figure out what to do next.

Riva Mahariel Riva is a very affectionate person, and she’s never had trouble saying how she feels. So when she realized what she felt, she basically just went for it.

Fiya TabrisFiya is an oblivious lesbian. She kept her feelings deep inside and didn’t realize Leliana returned them until Leliana told her outright.

Aliss HawkeAliss casually flirts with everyone, especially people as attractive as Fenris. She backed off some when they got to know each other because she didn’t want to cross boundaries when that was clearly a little new and sensitive for him (as compared to Isabela, who she flirts with throughout their friendship as a sign of affection). When she realized that she had real, actual feelings, she got more and more awkward around him because she wasn’t used to interaction without six layers of feigned confidence in the way.

Damon Hawke Damon fell hard and fast for Anders. He was nervous for a bit, since Anders seemed to be putting up walls, but every interaction made him happy.

Lanyla LavellanLanyla has had a lot more crushes than relationships--life as a Keeper’s First took a lot of her time. She flirted casually with Cullen, not thinking that anything would happen, and when Cullen actually responded to it she had a fair amount of time going ohshitwhathappensnextohshit before deciding that this fight against Corypheus meant she might die anyway so she might as well go for it.

Nymeria Trevelyan Nymeria found Bull attractive from the first, and the sex was amazing. It took a while to realize that she what she was feeling were actual feelings, and for a while that made her really nervous because she was afraid that would ruin everything. Then Bull told her about the dragon’s tooth thing, and then they killed a dragon and she decided to take a chance and make the necklaces.

Isenna LavellanIsenna is similar to Sera in that she doesn’t beat around the bush when she feels something. She knew what she felt and what she wanted from Sera and Dagna right away. It took a little while to sort of figure out how they all fit together, but she was confident about it.

Hissera Adaar Hissera used to be confident with women. She thought she was cool and suave, and even thought she traveled too much to do serious relationships, she always felt that things went well. Josie sent that all out the window. Just a casual conversation turned Hissera into a fumbling mess.

Anaan Adaar Anaan felt like he had to tread carefully with Dorian. Anaan wanted a real relationship, but knowing Dorian’s past made him nervous about how to approach things. He didn’t want to freak Dorian out or go too quickly, but he also fell hard pretty quickly.

Alanna TrevelyanAlanna respected Barris from the first. [NOTE: In the AU she’s in, pretty much all of my DAI OCs are together. She’s not the Inquisitor, she’s an Inquisition agent and representative of the Ostwick Trevelyan’s interests. She’s part of the delegation sent to the Templars while others go to the mages because I personally think that you should be able to at least try to reach out to both.] When she met him in the middle of all the chaos with the demon, she thought his leadership was impressive. They worked together more once the Inquisition was at Skyhold, and the crush was kind of a slow build. She was wary about getting into a real relationship, considering that her last one left her pregnant and widowed, but she really started to care about him.

Jaina ShepardRealizing that she had feelings for a Turian was less weird for Jaina than realizing that she had feelings for her best friend. It partly seemed like it came out of nowhere, and partly seemed like the most natural thing in the galaxy. Once she was able to wrap her head around that, and considering that they were barreling towards a suicide mission, she just decided to go for it. Hence the “reach and flexibility” conversation.

Cassie RyderCassie is a gigantic dork. She crushed on Jaal quickly, had a period of “what the fuck I shouldn’t get distracted, and he probably doesn’t find humans attractive, and even if he does like humans why would he like me,” then flirted awkwardly until he laughed and flirted back.

Percy Ryder Percy met Reyes post-Meridian. Cassie had already told him who Reyes was, and he was ready to put up a bunch of walls and not trust this dude. He usually didn’t go for smooth, bad boy types anyway; Percy’s type was usually guys who were just as focused and slightly nerdy as him, guys who were responsible and had legitimate jobs. So the crush was a surprise.

[sirvinter]

ty again @delavairess for showing interest!! <3

Anaan-asala Adaar is a warrior ex-commander who got fed up with the Qun in his youth and subsequently defected with the remainder of his unit during a mission outside Par Vollen. He's 52 y/o at the start of Inquisition :^)

Like many Tal-Vashoth, he did end up moving to mercenary work, but mostly because he knew fighting was something he liked and was good at and saw no reason to why he shouldn't capitalize on it. A few members of his former unit still worked under him until the Conclave.

Time has left him with a bitterness for the Qun and those who still live under it, causing him to clash with Bull a lot once they meet in-game. He's straight-forward in his words and clear with his opinions. His age and steadfast, protective nature in the Inquisition soon uplift him into a reliable but casual consultant-like role. Eventually, many -- including both inside the inner circle as well as people under the Inquisition's wing -- come to see him in a more fatherly* way. Intimidating at first, but cordial and well spoken once you exchange words with him. A firm but kind man who means well.

He's a man with few hobbies; he likes people watching, enjoys a good conversation, or a nap in the evening sun.

He ends up romancing Blackwall :^)

It caused a bit of discomfort at times. The anchor will also make him weak over time and hurt him until it is removed. Mentally, Kaaras is a very giving and self sacrificing person with a martyr complex. He also gives the benefit of the doubt to most people, which can bite him on the arse. His family is his biggest weakness, though. He will do anything to protect them and keep them from harm.

2! Give me an animal AU. And 13.

 2.If they were an animal, which would they be? 

taking a lot of these from the daemon au ive thought abt a fair bit

anaan adaar: ibex or similar antelope

Rynnah Lavellan: red-tailed hawk

garon cadash: a monitor lizard

dorea cadash: wild boar

Varia Trevelyan: thick billed raven

Kost Adaar: nightingale

Revas Lavellan: Secretary bird

13. Can they cook?

Anaan: yes

Rynnah: yes, the dalish are communal enough abt their work that even the first is usually expected to help with the cooking/other chores

Garon: no, his parents had pretensions to if not nobility at least social status and part of that was hiring a ton of servants with lyrium money

Dorea: yes, simply bc her family wasn’t as high up in the carta, so she kind of had to bc a lot of the time she was the only one there for her little siblings

Varia: varia can probably manage to make campfire toast

Kost adaar: yes

Revas: can kinda cook for similar reasons to rynnah, but isn’t good at it (also completely lacked any useful life-skills until her mid teens)
