#Elli Lavellan

[an-established-butt-dent]

What always intrigued me about the storyline with a romanced Solas is that Lavellan was so close to finding out the truth.

She must have had some suspicions before, but she never pushed him for the truth. She gave him time to open up on his own terms, to share when he was ready, which we know he almost did in Crestwood.

I wonder about the demons he fought in his head, the times duty came before love, while at the same time she made him question everything.

Such a tragic lovestory and no I’m still not over it it. :(

More Mava!

The inquisitor is known for taking 5 minute power naps standing up and then just GOING for days. How she’s still functional is a mystery.

My character ramblings below the cut.

For the most part Mava and Solas get along well and on the topic of the fade the two chat all the time. Mava admires his knowledge of magic as well of his painting skills which she secretly finds most impressive. She comes to him for any magic advice first and quietly learns through the conversation he has with Dorian and Vivianne. That being said if Solas starts trashing the Dalish Mava will argue with him ALL DAY annoying anyone within earshot and each other. She also doesn’t completely trust him, his lack of history too suspicious to ignore.

Mava has a certain affection for Cole. She finds the boy endearing and takes him out often, encouraging him to talk with their companions. His existence between spirit and human fascinates her. After specializing in the way of the rift mage she felt even more comfortable with him as he sees the responsibility she has on her shoulders. She comes to him to hear gossip, the inane unimportant kind. A hold over of when she used to eavesdrop as a child that developed into a sort of guilty pleasure. Mava also enjoys when she hears other’s talk of his gentle presence, even if they don’t know it. It makes her oddly proud and she sees him as a little brother.

Mava’s relationship to her commander is… complicated. Mava was initially evasive towards Cullen, a human ex-templar is not exactly comforting to a Dalish mage. The two were polite but not close, though Mava appreciated his banter with her other advisors. Things became unavoidable when Mava allowed the Mage rebellion to join the Inquisition as equals, a choice that she worried might make him, and some others of the inquisition grow angry or even leave. Cullen’s support despite him disagreeing made Mava respect him and the two found they had more in common then they once thought. Mava can see the weight he puts on himself and finds comfort in someone who understands her and checks in. His stories of this family reminds her of her own and the two grow to appreciate each other’s company despite their disagreements. Though Cullen’s love of the game chess will forever allude her.

WIP Wednesday

I was tagged by @greypetrel ! Tysm ❤️

Working on a Cullen x immy piece w a background lol (gasp)

I did the bg first and sketched the pose over it but essentially drawing the sketch separately and bigger until I color it!

Consider yourself tagged if you see this ❤️ brain a lil fried atm and idw to forget anyone lmao

[saintlethanavir]

Inspired by a post @pinayelf did of her oc Immy's children with Cullen!!

In terms of children I think Calliope and Dorian may have more in the future but as of the end of Jaws of Hakkon they welcome little Athim into the world! Calliope had no idea they were pregnant/it was a cryptic pregnancy and y'know the stress just had their water breaking. It's fine.

Athim Pavus is a very sweet child who takes after their Papae in being a very reactionary and emotional mage. It's a bit dangerous raising a half elven baby in Tevinter but it is FOR SURE extra dangerous raising a reactionary dreamer mage who's going through his terrible two's. Like both of his father's he's very adept at fire magic and it actually soothes him when he's quite young because he has a hard time regulating his body temperature (Autism Things TM). So once he manages to NOT burn his fingertips he uses small fire spells to warm himself back up during colder nights in Kirkwall and Minrathous. At a young age his parents do realize that he's a Dreamer Mage though, and seek help to make sure he isn't targeted by anything out in the Fade (Solas, and other things I can't mention without spoiling my fic but you get the idea). Eventually Calliope settles on teaching him what they learned through Vivienne during Inquisition and in turn he becomes a formidable Knight Enchanter when he's older, opting to use a greatsword/Reaver like attacks like his Papae. I think he does incorporate things like Walking Bomb from the Necromancer subclass that he's learned from Dorian as well. Anything he gets from that side of things though are meant to bolster his intimidation tactics on the battle field.

The Fall of Arlathan- Chapter 9

A big double-sized (12k words help) chapter of this Solavellan fic, the sequel to my old Schooling Pride. Yes, it exists. I need to actually put them in a series on AO3- i'll try to remember to do that later.

...

“Don’t turn this around on me,” Ellie scolded Solas, not wanting to hear a lecture about how she should keep being a sucker.

He smiled, chagrined, the edges of his eyes crinkling.  His gaze became uncomfortable, but his voice remained even as she glanced away awkwardly.  “If you insist.  But never forget that your kindness was my salvation.”

She brushed that off because she didn’t have the cope.  “Yeah, well…we’ve never had a fight like this before.  He’d cross lines, I’d draw a boundary clearly, and we’d move on.”  Ellie couldn’t find it in her to lie right now.  “And then he’d cross it again.  I just– I thought I was helping him.  He did get better in a lot of ways, but I got arrogant, Solas.  And– and he needed me.”

His denial was quiet, but firm.  “He does not need you. He is possessive.  Those are very different things.”

Ugh, of course he was going to make this entirely about Falon’din and excuse her completely.

Of course.

“No, I mean…I liked that he did,” she admitted firmly, staring at her hands.  “I encouraged it.  When I realized it I tried to wean him off of depending so much on me, but the damage was done.  It was just…from the moment– this is kind of too much to say.”

“I would rather you did,” Solas said quietly.

“I know.  That’s part of what makes it so hard.  I wish you had better boundaries around me,” she muttered.

His voice was low and calm.  “Better?  No.  My boundaries remain intact, very far from any landscape you have yet to wander across.  Explore as you like.”

“Pain,” she muttered, wishing he didn’t make it so easy to talk to him.  That he didn’t feel like a portent, a thing hovering over her ready to drag her back down to those old, painful depths.  “Ever since, Solas, you left…it was like my brain got fixated on people leaving me.  First it was you, then Sebastian, then Cass, a lot of other people…and my mom died like a month after Wren was born.”  She paused, steeled herself.  “He needed me.”  

Ellie exhaled roughly, trying to keep her voice under control, her body.  But it was hard, she could feel herself starting to get tense, trembling.  “He wasn’t going to–”  

Leave me.

She swallowed those words before they could trip up her tongue, her nerves already strained by stress.  Ellie steeled herself and continued.  “No matter what I did he kept coming back.  And I could help him, like I couldn’t...”

It was like bile in her throat, bitter and unwelcome.

“Ellana…”

She sniffed and wiped her eyes impatiently, hating the weakness.  “Tears are just tears, they don’t mean anything.  Listen…I unpacked this all a while ago; this isn’t new, Solas.  I have a really good therapist.  When I go.  It’s just…I figured, hey, I’m helping someone.  Even if it’s a coping thing, it’s not bad, right?”

“Does Falon’din know how you feel?”  Solas asked, smiling sadly at the disbelieving look she gave him.  “Yes, it sounds as if that would be unwise.”

“He hates you enough,” she said quietly.

🚧 Under Construction 🚧

Pictures used made with Dalishious's Elf Maker [x] (I know they're naked rn these are my drawing references!)

Wardens

Aeron "Tab" Tabris

22

He/They, agender

Dual wield rogue

Zevran romance

Bi with a preference for men

He has a twin sister named Aurelia, but she's not my OC. He is Deaf and Auri functions as an interpreter as well as being his best friend. He wasn't looking forward to being in an arranged marriage and was glad to join the Wardens. They are cousins of Aedan and Leila Lavellan.

Sorren Mahariel

28

He/Him, trans man

Two-Handed Warrior

Zevran Romance

Gay

He never felt terribly at home in his clan, other than Tamlen and Merrill, though he felt forced to join the Wardens.

Cylas Surana

19

He/Him, trans man

Primal/Spirit focused Mage

Zevran Romance

Gay

Cylas was born in Tevinter to slave parents, his mother escaped with him and his older brother when he was 2 years old, fleeing to Denerim's alienage. His magic manifested when he was 7, though his family was able to hide it until he was 8 and he was exposed. He didn't have a great time in the Circle, but he was a diligent student, making his own T supplement, and had a Plan for when he was a full fledged Mage. Joining the Wardens was bittersweet for him, but he was much happier with the freedom.

Inquisitors

Aedan Lavellan

30

Dual Dagger Rogue

Dorian Romance

Gay

Aedan was a hunter and helped the Keeper with Elven history. He was averse to being the Herald, but took being Inquisitor in stride, hoping to bring elves a more positive reputation. He had a sister, Leila, who I sometimes switch his place with in my head with a similar story. They are cousins of Tab and Auri.

I have other Inquisitors but ah.... I don't really care about them lol

Hawkes

I don't really have set Hawkes, though I like to have default Hawke twins, Gareth and Killian. I play them Blue/Purple. Gareth romances Fenris and Anders, Killian romances Isabela and Merrill. Killian is a trans woman.

[mocksfate]

my protags and silly romance hcs for each on a fine tuesday morning because why not

surana: ellie is a princess. well, she does belong to two of the most oppressed groups in thedas, but that doesn't deter her from telling you that she's a princess and thus must be treated as one. she dreams to meet a proper knight/gentleperson - the kind of person who's gonna sweep her off her feet, who would kiss her hand, write her poetry and do grand romantic gestures in her name, etc etc. all of this, because she's been influenced by the novel she read as a child, so obviously she'd like to pursue a fairytale romance. it's also why she's does NOT want to participate in one night stands at all (even in the tower they were big nos. 'you either woo me properly like the lady i am or you scram!!!')

hawke: maida is a mess 👍who actually, very much in opposition to ellie, prefers one night adventures. she's on the aromantic spectrum, making it hard for her to bore any romantic feelings towards p much anybody (v4rric you will always be famous). she's had a few lil and not entirely meaningful relationships back in ferelden, but in kirkwall she officially dated no one. she often hangs out at the blooming rose because she's fwb? a regular client?? how do we call it- of jethann and they actually become close friends by act 3. am i making one of the most minor npcs into an important figure in her life who both makes her feel good and gives her cool advice? yeah, sue me ig 😔

lavellan: melava is hilarious, god bless her. she starts as a loner and as someone who prefers being on her own because she and the keeper don't really get along (read her about to discover why!). before dai (she's 32 in dai), she had a total of two (2) relationships. this is also because my girl is asexual ! that + being used to being alone = not actively seeking relationships. when they do happen though, she turns into the most devoted person because she's always thought her life would have been filled only by loneliness and thus appreciates someone who is willing to open their heart to her. she's still awkward with words since those were never her forte, but she shows her appreciation with gift giving and acts of service. she became a warrior to protect, let her big arms protect you alright 🥰

rook: abrielle, being the oldest of the bunch, has the most experience in this field, but not in the way you think. since age 11, she's been trained as a bard. she was taught the art of seduction and emotional manipulation to get to targets and almost always felt like she wasn't being genuine whenever she stumbled upon a romantic entanglement of her own. it is the reason why she usually ended up being the one breaking them off. then antiva and emil happen and, oh boy. girlie was down bad. while she had a few lovers on her name, none ever came close to emil kortez. he was, undoubtedly, the love of her life. they were Freaky(tm) and unashamedly in love (good for them), but a part of me believes emil wasn't into it as much as abrie. still, she cherishes the memory and even joined the crows to fix his stupid ass mistake out of the love she still feels for him.

OC Name Meanings

Tagged by @pikapeppa, thank you! 🥰

Tagging @ir0n-angel, @lilbittymonster, @bogunicorn and @espressocomfort. No pressure!

Rules: Search and post the meaning of your OC's name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! bonus if you can find something for their last name too.

Right, so...I have a lot of OC's. Holy crap, did this get long. I'll go by fandom to keep them organized, and listed here are just the main player types, not background characters. And if you want to know more about any of them, they can all be found here.

Fallout 4

Nora Howard (Junkyard 'Verse series): My first SoSu. Nora is the default name and I struggled for a long time to come up with a last name for her. At the time, I thought it would be funny for her to share a name with Todd Howard, and then it stuck.

Valara Thorsgaard (Set to Repeat, Subject to Change): Lamb the Younger gave me the first name and I liked it. Val, for short. The Scandinavian last name was just...I dunno, it felt right?

Honoria Wilcox (No One Knows): 'Honoria' is a version of Nora. Her maiden name was Beaufort, because it was slightly pretentious and so was Honoria's mother. Wilcox was her late husband's name and she was glad to take it.

Eleanor (Nights series): Another Nora variant, no last name.

Joan Whitfield (The Bargain): I wanted something different for this OC since she ends up with Kellogg. (All my Nora variants end up with Hancock.) The first name comes from my extended family, and the last name sounds lawyerish. 😆

Tien Xu (Unexpected): Ahh, the SoSu from my first real AU. She's a Chinese prisoner of war who ended up in the Vault. No real reason for her given name, but 'Tien' was my favorite chemistry professor's last name back when I was in college.

Alice Monroe (Amends to the Dead): My most recent SoSu. From the get go I wanted her to be a badass, because let's face it, you get pretty OP'd with some of those skills in-game. 'Alice' is a nod to Resident Evil. 'Monroe' is just because it sounded good.

Mass Effect Trilogy

Jayne Shepard (Soldier, Spectre, Savior series): It's the default FemShep name, but I changed the spelling. That's really it.

Jehanne Shepard (Some Kind of Resolution): Henna, for short. Jehanne is a phonetic variant of Jane.

The Wayhaven Chronicles

Aya Batra (Little Things): Batra is one of the surnames you can choose when making your Detective, but Aya was my own invention. It's a variation of an old D&D character (Aeo, who in turn is a variation on Io). Someday I want to write more for her.

Dragon Age

(oh boy, here we go)

Da'Fen Carlisle Mayers Lavellan (Until It Squeaks series): Carly, to her friends. My first MGIT. When I created her I wanted her to be a 'just some person' kind of character, so she needed a name that didn't stand out much. Tbh, I don't even like it. I think I was halfway through writing Twist when I decided it was short for Carlisle, which eased my meh a little. Then as time went on in the story, she earned the rest. Abelas was the first to call her 'Da'Fen' because she was the Consort of Fen'Harel, and she was formally adopted into Clan Lavellan after the events of the main game.

Imogen McLean (Wicked Things series): My ex wouldn't let me name Lamb the Younger Imogen when she was born, so I decided I would save it for a character someday. And so I did. 'McLean' because she's of Irish descent, and I knew a girl by that family name when I was a kid.

Eliana Hawke (Wicked Things series): I tend to give my F!Hawkes unique names, I guess. But this one was for the purpose of Imogen getting to call her Elly and Elly getting to call her Genny. It was a deliberate 'the names you use denote intimacy level' kind of thing.

Terisin Mahariel (Wicked Things series): It means 'Flint-like'. I wanted something hefty for the HoF, something that would give the impression of gravity and determination. And then everyone in the fic shortens it to 'Ter'. 🤣

Mira Foret (Driftwood series): This is actually a nickname, her full name is Almira. Her family name on Earth was 'Wood', and upon being transported to Thedas, she changed it to 'Foret', which is the Orlesian version of the word. There is actually a reason she has these names in particular, but that gets into level 40 IRL stuff, so I shan't say.

Carmilla Hawke (Maker Damned Fools): Cara, for short, and only if you have her permission. Back when I first wrote MDF, I had a notion that Leandra wanted to give all her children names beginning with the same letter. "How'd Bethany happen?" Varric asked. Because they didn't know they were having twins and had to come up with a name on the fly and Malcolm had a twisted sense of humor. It makes more sense in the fic. Anyway, she hates the name, and thus goes mostly by Hawke.

Hera Trevelyan (No More My Heart Beats Without You): I just liked it. Didn't even know it was the default name of F!Adaar. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ellisora Lavellan (Flowers For Fen'Harel series): Everyone uses Ellana. It's the default. I don't like defaults (usually) and will twist them around any which way until I find something I do like.

Sa'vir Lavellan (No Strings): It means 'the First Path' or, more precisely for her character, 'the Only Way'. It was both to give some backstory to her and was a nod to her being inspired by The Unending Wake's Vir.

Lahalaan Lavellan (My Blood On Your Hands, Your Teeth In My Skin): Ahh, my poor Laani. She kicked around as an OC for a long time before I finally was able to write something for her. She was always meant to have a longfic, but it never happened. It means 'Like the Foxes', and it suits her as a redhead and a rogue class.

La'Vise Lavellan (Just Like Fire): The title of the fic is the definition of the name. She is my one canon story. I am utterly unsurprised at myself for not finishing it.

Lark Cadash (All the Earth and Air series): Again, default is bleh. Malika > Lika > Lark. Then I leaned into the bird symbolism.

Shae Cadash (Destiny Is Just In the Timing): This is apparently a popular name for a Cadash, lol. In order to set her apart (both in fandom and in my head), it's actually a nickname. Her full name is Shaelgat, meaning 'Unto Shale', and it has Lore(tm). A daughter of every generation is named this, and will be until they find the golem they're named after.

Banal'ras Nydha, the Twice-Born (Hope Is a Fragile Thing): She's actually a MGIT, who was given the name 'the Shadow of Night' by Solas in the Fade before she became corporeal in Thedas. She has a shtick that goes with it, the ability to use Fade cloak even though she isn't a mage otherwise. Ya know, like Cole. Her story and name are part and parcel with each other and mostly because I wanted to make an OC who was Deeply Mysterious(tm) without ever explaining it. The legend-mark comes from the Avvar, among whom she lives at the start of her fic.

(we're almost done)

Virlas Lavellan (I'll tell you my sins (and you can sharpen your knife)): Default, bleh. Symbolically fitting name, yay. It means 'the Way That is Given' or something like that. This was a giftfic turned treat for the Solavellan Hell Exchange, and I didn't think too hard about the name other than something that would fit for a post-canon Lavellan.

Rinna Cadash (What Lies Beneath): Another giftfic OC. Dwarven names tend towards being short and this one just felt right.

Eshali'nan Lavellan (A Wolf Named Vengeance): This fic is a modern AU collab with my beloved Angel, and someday we'll finish it, lol. Esha, for short, was another OC that kicked around for a long time like Laani. She has quite a backstory that will likely never get told because frankly, I'm tired of writing DA retellings. Originally she was a Sentinel in Arlathan, who spent most of the intervening years in uthenera like Solas, but woke a generation ago. She lived with the Lavellan clan and was chosen to go to the Conclave. The name means 'Daughter of Vengeance' and was chosen for her at her elevation to Sentinel status.

Great googly moogly, I have too many OC's...
