@mahariele sent: 🧦  :    your  muse  walks  in  on  my  muse  changing  clothes . (for Arik)

Arik had just finished a patrol and felt stiff. He knew he needed to get cleaned. The darkspawn would smell him from ten miles off at this point, he figured. Or maybe he was too used to having to get cleaned up as a servant. Either way, he decided a dip in the river would be a good idea.

He didn’t realize someone else had the same idea. His fellow warden, Feyna, was there getting dressed. And she was not at the proper...Attire level to be seen. Arik averted his gaze, not wanting her to feel as if he were staring or awkward.

“I’ll just...Go until you’re done.” He said, turning back to head closer to camp.

@inquisitriice cont. from Arik being grumpy

Arik had dealt with enough looks from the likes of the Seeker, the elven apostate, and a few others at Skyhold. He knew damn well the Wardens had messed up, let fear take control instead of thinking. He supposed some people blamed him; being the Warden-Commander of Ferelden after the Hero left on some crazy mission.

“Yeah, I’m staying,” he said tersely, glaring across the courtyard at a few of the mentioned people. “And if they’re not comfortable, we can deal with that in the sparring ring.”

He raised a brow at her mention of his attitude, looking up at her.

“Most people don’t call it carefree,” he stated plainly. “But I’m glad to be of some assistance. Corypheus was the Wardens’ mistake. We locked him up instead of finding a way to kill him and kill him efficiently, if what I’ve heard the dwarf say is true.” He glanced back at the people in the courtyard, thinking. “It’s our duty to deal with Darkspawn and we let that one slip through our fingers.”

RP POSITIVITY MEME

DAY 05: favorite multimuses

i’ve been trying to bring multimuses in on past days b/c i want to acknowledge certain characters on said blogs, but here i’ll just highlight the blogs as a whole!

@aniente​ - muses: ameridan, merrill, evangeline, gatt, adrian, dalish, missne (oc), sabriel (oc)

a dragon age multimuse who i featured a couple times b/c i just. really admire their choice of muses as well as the writing! there’s not a muse on here i don’t love, even those like adrian that i’m not overly familiar with given i’ve yet to finish asunder. i can feel ciri’s passion when they write about each of their muses, and it invests me in each one. i’d honestly love a thread w/ each of their muses one day. gotta catch ‘em all. 

@burnsbriiight​ - muses: mai (a:tla), kitty pryde (x-men), marie-elise (da oc), annuneth (da oc), patricia anne (da oc), adahleni (da oc)

first, it was apparently rachel’s birthday the other day, so happy birthday! second, mai is one of my a:tla faves (i actually rped her back in the day) and although i just followed this multimuse i’m excited to see her rps w/ mai. she’s an underrated character.

@centuriesuntold - muses: all the doctors. every one.

i’ve been following this blog since my mass effect days, back when they were bowtied, and they provided a lot of rly inspirational posts to anons and such on their dash! seeing them again, only now with more doctors, was a very exciting experience!!! it’s not something i’d seen before in the dw fandom, and i’ve adored what i’ve seen from them, even as someone who is only familiar with new doctor who.

@dryhtenhold - muses: gareth cousland (oc), ves aeducan (oc), eleanor cousland, agravaine ker (oc), tamar (oc), loghain mac tir

i’ve only listed erran’s primary dragon age characters, but she rps tolkien as well as having a list of secondary muses! her ocs have interesting and complex backstories that really dig deep into dragon age lore, specifically fereldan lore and the civil war. they are such natural parts of the lore that i had to mark them (oc) otherwise you might confuse them with canons like eleanor and loghain.

@kaleiidoscopehearts​ - isabela, miryin brosca, peebee (mass effect), bolin (lok), sally malik (being human), azalea gothel (descendents oc), artemis crook (young justice), amellia smollet (treasure planet)

multifandom, and some are fandoms i’m unfamliar with, which just goes to show how talented they are b/c i’m v selective with non-da multimuses! i’ve talked about peebee and miryin, but i also have been v pleased with seeing bolin on my dash! he was one of my faves from lok. and every time an isabela hits on solas another five minutes are added to my life.

@lcgacyofages - ceridwen mahariel, atena hawke, myrrdin lavellan, zoria amell, dazbo amell, aurora amell, ronina lavellan, seigfried trevelyan, etienne de rousseau, xora orsiniel pharare, arik tabris, hildegard cadash

a blog full of lovely ocs based upon the pc backstories given to us in-game (for the most part!). don’t let the names fool you, though, as not all of them are the heroes. some are companion ocs, which are honestly some of my fave ocs in darp!

@mercysought - priestess (oc), maxima aurum (oc), himsulem (oc), manala (oc), anora theirin, emilie de clair (oc), abel de clair (oc), laone shatterspine (oc), moe (star wars oc)

there isn’t a muse here who isn’t fascinating and beautifully written. with the exception of moe, they’re all dragon age characters, and while i haven’t rped with all of them yet i hope to one day. skells is a wonderful writer and i’m glad a multimuse has enabled her to have more characters b/c that’s what we deserve.

@mindsmade - cremisius acclassi, liam kosta (mass effect), aiden shepard (me), gil brodie (me), celebrian (tolkien), and more!

also featuring more tolkien muses and characters from the good wife and mythological characters! i mentioned this the other day, but i adore their ship on liam with the aforementioned peebee! there’s not a muse listed here who isn’t worth reading about, even as someone unfamiliar with the expanded tolkien universe.

@teleidoscopic - khaliya lavellan, raleigh samson, morrigan, sera, zenyatta (ovw), jameson locke (halo), EDI (mass effect), ashley williams (mass effect), the black box (halo), john hancock (fallout 4), red (transistor)

i’ve been following pastry’s rp blogs for... idk... seven years now? a lot. a lot of years. i’ve seen a few of these muses in action on single-muse blogs, so i’m glad they can return in multimuse form. pastry’s samson and ashley in particular are old favourites, but looking at this list pastry has the magic ability to pull my faves out in general (i would die for zenyatta. and probably deserve it after how many times i’ve gotten him killed playing him...). 

@tothezeros - morrigan, minaeve, raleigh samson, melchior heeren (oc), cornelia solette (oc), clancy griffin (oc), corin thenn (oc), sylvus varnehn (oc)

again, i decided to only list the dragon age muses to save me from tabbing back and forth, but this blog has so many fun muses aside from that! like spyro, taking me back to the days i would ask my dad to take me and my brother to a clubhouse so we could play one of the games on the ps2. and christopher robin! as for their dragon age muses, i’ve thoroughly enjoyed them. i still have a few to get to know, but their samson and minaeve are great, and i’ve known clancy for a few years now! it’s comforting to see him on my dash after all this time.

@couldntbcloved liked for a starter from Arik

"I cannot rest while the People wait in darkness and fear." Arik repeated the line as he knelt in front of the alter in the makeshift Chantry at Skyhold. “Andraste guide and protect, aide us in our endeavors to defeat the rise of darkness, and guide those who sacrifice to the Maker’s side.”

A sudden change in the air, something he noticed. Humans would have felt unease, but as an elf, it was...A familiarity or something. If one were to consider the ancient Dalish lore.

“May the Maker bless.” He rose to a stand, turning to see the peculiar little girl. He’d only just arrived at Skyhold yet he knew the Inquisition was full of...Characters.

“You’re not normal, are you, kid?” It was straight forward, but he was always a straight forward type. Even if the eyes hinted at it, there was more to it.

Recruitment: Arik Tabris (DAI)

Open to Inquisitors who recruited the Wardens Setting: Skyhold, after Adamant Muse: Arik Tabris, Companion OC Background: Arik Tabris serves as the Commander of the Fereldan Wardens, even with their small numbers. After hearing what was occurring with their Orlesian brethren, he went to investigate. A disagreement caused him to be locked away in Adamant but he managed his way out and aided Inquisition forces. With the recruitment of the Wardens, Arik now helps the Inquisition.

Arik waited outside of the war room of the old castle. He’d felt something when he’d entered it, yet he wasn’t sure what it was. He blamed it on being an elf. But it felt safe and secure, unlike most of Thedas right now. He leaned against the wall, folding his arms and looking out the window across the corridor. A scowl rested on his features as he considered the situation. He didn’t like it but there was no choice.

Corypheus was the fault of the wardens, after all.

The door opened and Arik glanced to see the advisors leaving, with the Inquisitor right behind them. He settled his gaze on the Inquisitor and waited for the Inquisitor to stop before him then spoke.

“I wanted to thank you,” he said, looking straight ahead, not quite at them. “It was a shit mistake, I agree. But without the Orlesian wardens...The south wouldn’t be protected. Ferelden’s numbers are still too low to be able to do anything.” He gave a little laughing scoff. “And when Fereldan warden commanders have a history of running off to deal with things themselves, well...It’s amazing there’s even any of them.”

@threads-of-destiny played One Line Roulette and got Arik Tabris

“Inquisitor, I wanted to thank you personally for not...For having sense to understand what the wardens went through.”

Recruitment: Arik Tabris (DAO)

Open to HoFs Setting: Ostagar before the Battle Muse: Arik Tabris, Companion OC Background: Arik Tabris is a Warden of 3 months. His origin follows the Tabris origin, just the timeline moved up slightly (will be flexible with other Tabris characters and will gladly work on familial relationships) and he’s at Ostagar. This is where the HoF first meets him.

Arik sat at the campfire, still having a habit of isolating himself from the others. The wardens, he was less likely to do so, but even yet, he seemed unsure of how to interact with others. With everything that had happened prior, it made sense to him. He had little reason to trust much, no matter how much Alistair attempted to change that attitude a bit. He hated to say it, but the human was growing on him in that regard.

His violet gaze lifted as he noticed someone by the fire. He kept a steady gaze on them, not faltering a bit to the piece of wood in his hand he had been fiddling with.

“Something you need?” He asked then realized it. “Don’t tell me you’re one of the recruits.”
