#Inquisitor Chantry Bomber Anders

[lesbianwyllravengard]

I think if Anders was the Inquisitor it would be super fucking funny for many reasons. I still don't know much da lore so pretend it makes sense lore wise even if it doesn't. I just think the Guy Who is On the Run for Bombing the Local Chantry accidentally becoming the Herald of Andraste is an insane idea. why was Anders at the Conclave. was it to make sure mages were well represented. was it to repeat Kirkwall if the mages weren't well represented. who knows point is, he's there and he has a plan but as he's roaming the halls he hears The Divine calling out for help and what the hell he has to find out what's going on. Domino effect of canon events happen and suddenly he wakes up in chains with Cassandra standing over him and asking for his name. And he says Anders because he still can't remember where he even is. And Cassandra is like oh my fucking God you're Chantry Bomber Anders from Varric's story. Of course you killed the Divine. And Anders is like wdym I killed the Divine. But he sounds a little too excited about it so Cassandra just gets angry. And then later they meet up with Varric and Solas and Varric is like holy shit it's Chantry Bomber Anders. What are you doing here Blondie. And Anders is like hey Varric, this scary woman says I killed the Divine. But again he sounds a little too excited about it so Cassandra gets more mad, but Solas uses Anders's mark to close the rift so now she has to keep Anders alive. And then the people of the Inquisition decide Anders is the Herald of Andraste and Cassandra has to believe Chantry Bomber Anders was sent by Andraste for some fucking reason. And Anders's faith was already rocky after Kirkwall but now this whole thing is a joke to him. Hi my name is Anders, that's short for Andraste's Herald. I am Maker Sent. Yes I blew up the Kirkwall Chantry, because God says to Free All Mages. And Cassandra still hates him and Cullen is still scared of him and the Chantry is mad that he's using Andraste's name but the people of the Inquisition believe he is Maker Sent so he has to stay and basically gets diplomatic immunity from Chantry retaliation. He sides the Inquisition with the Mages and tells the Templars to kill themselves so everyone is even more mad at him. Except the Mages who are finally accepting him as their revolutionary leader. imagine Cassandra's face when Leliana suggests making Anders the Inquisitor. of course he gets up there and is like I'm doing this for all Mages! And the mages are like Yay, we love Inquisitor Chantry-Bomber-Anders! And then Hawke shows up and she's like there you are Anders, my mentally ill wife, the children miss you. and Anders is like look Hawke I'm the Inquisitor now, and Varric is also here and he fights by my side again. And Varric is like no I babysit you for Hawke, there's a difference. And since Anders was a Grey Warden, when they're like we need information on the Grey Wardens he's like actually I can help with that personally. Of course I still hear Corypheus screaming in my head, but Hawke has yelled at me louder before so I'm fine. And he doesn't even get the choice between leaving Hawke or Stroud in the Fade because he wouldn't let Hawke die ever no matter what. There's also loads of chances for the Inquisitor to hate on blood magic and the chantry that I think really suit Anders. And he'd love to tell Cassandra that the Chantry sucks and should die. But anyways all that to say I think it'd be incredibly hilarious if the guy who is on half of Southern Thedas' shit list for bombing the Chantry suddenly became Jesus Part Two and more of a recognised religious figurehead than the Divine herself had been.

Edit: click the "Inquisitor Chantry Bomber Anders" to see me play dai as Anders

[lesbianwyllravengard]

what are you doing here girl!!! get out of here!!!

[lesbianwyllravengard]

I've never gotten this before I'm crying. there's something wrong with him (I don't clarify who I'm talking about)

[lesbianwyllravengard]

forgot how narratively relevant this game is to Anders's character.

like if I had never played dai before you could easily convince me that Anders is canonically the playable character by showing me these images

[lesbianwyllravengard]

Several ppl have done this already but which of my dragon age protagonists would cause the most discourse. I've only played da2 once and dai twice so there's only 3

Oh yeah ofc!

The only mod I use for him is his hair, found here

And the mod for more sliders in character customisation is here

And screenshots of the sliders. Disclaimer tho this is all based on the best of my ability to recreate Anders's features and it's definitely not perfect, so feel free to change things up as you see fit!

"Inquisitor Chantry Bomber Anders is romancing Dorian because I think they parallel each other a lot narratively and would work really well togeth-" <- me when I make excuses. Real reason is bc this is the only time I'm ever playing this game as a man and therefore would be the only time I can romance Dorian.

[lesbianwyllravengard]

You ask Cullen where he's from and he shows you a letter from his old tutor with his deadname in it talking about how he used to have gender envy for the guy he grew up to resemble and then when you're done reading it he tells you he was trans.

[lesbianwyllravengard]

Anders being Cullen's boss is yet another beautiful feature I hadn't considered until now

[lesbianwyllravengard]

well.
