#adaar family

[wylldebee]

Bioware missed an opportunity by not having the inquisitor's family/clan/mercenary group make an appearance in Skyhold. It would have given a nice lull in world saving and expand on your Inquisitor's past a bit more. Like can you imagine your Inquisitor being woken up in the morning by Josephine rushing into your chambers to tell you your family/clan/mercenary group has basically invaded Skyhold within the small hours of the morning and are demanding/asking to see you? What would your inquisitor's reaction be?

the ever lovely @lelianasbong tagged me [DAAAAAYS ago] to share my inky's face [using this picrew] and to share three facts about them.

Kendis' mother is Tal-Voshoth while her father is Vashoth. His parents [hypocritically] weren't happy with that. In a sense, it was like why invite that trouble into your/our lives? They had a fellow Vashoth who was "better adapted" in blending in planned for him. But he eloped! Kendis didn't meet her grandparents into her teens. [She did one of her father's sisters though. Not a good exchange.]

Though, she is proudly Vashoth. She does still consider themself a qunari. To an extent. She likes learning about their culture and incorporates parts of it to her day to day -- something that's occurred since her childhood as their mother's past would bleed through time to time. They're a big fan of vitaar and always collects them the way people might collect make up or jewelry or [in Leliana's case ;-P] shoes.

That said, her first company was for the most part human. She actually rejected the Valo-Kas at first. It's about money, you see? Nothing personal. Noble preferred mostly human groups and nobles had the coin. Thankfully the Valo-Kas never took it [too] personally. As Kendis made a name for themself, they sent another offer. Having left her previous group and bored out her mind, she took them up. No regrets [well. for the most parts ... those troublemakers ;-p]

[arainaizevran]

my problem with making up lore for kara is that i forgot some important parts of qunari lore so i keep having to retcon things

[a-drama-addict]

the best part about rasaan is that she and chronos do NOT share the same mother so i can have some liberty in her design.

[bosspigeon]

i gave Vataash the british voice bc i thought it'd be funny and now i've started delving into his backstory a lil bit more and i've decided his dad was a Free Marcher noble who just happens to like Large Women

people joke that he must get his temper from his mother, but he's just "My father, actually. He's nobility. Not used to being told no."

and upon researching a bit, ive decided his father is from Ostwick. if he weren't an Adaar, Vataash would have been a Trevelyan.

Adaar family yayyyyy

Lelia, Khalil, Jarrah, and Nadja

Lelia is an escaped qunari saarabas. She was trained for craft work but her magic developed at 16 and she was saarabas from them on. Her Arvaarad was killed while they were in the free marches when she was 24 and she took her chance and ran. She was taken in by a chantry near Wycome, who's mother took pity on her. She lived there as a lay sister of sorts and this is where she met Khalil.

Khalil was born outside the qun, a vashoth. His parents and brother are mercenaries, his brother being a mage. But Khalil found that life unsatisfying and found work as a baker's apprentice at age 14. He kept in contact with his family but decided to stay in the village and learn to bake. The village was weary at first but was soon charmed by the young qunari who they soon found just as kind and respectful as any human boy. When he was 22 Lelia came to the town, taken in by the chantry mother. They became quick friends and soon Khalil began courting her.

Nadja (the eventual inquisitor) is the first born of Khalil and Lelia. She grew up in the same town learning to bake from her father, and to weave and sew from her mother. Despite her parents constant warning that she needed to be gentle and kind even when others were bigoted for her looks, Nadja had a temper. She would often wrestle with boys who called her names much to her father's dissaproval. When her magic developed at age 12 her parents decided the safest thing to do was send her to live with Khalil's brother. He was trained in magic and could teach Nadja all he knew, while also hopefully getting her aggression out through the mercenary training. She was a natural in elemental magic related to fire, even breathing fire. Nadja joined his mercenary band. She flourished, becoming a powerful mage and an asset to the team. The events of the conclave happen. She's named inquisitor. Romances Josie yada yada

Jarrah was born four years after Nadja. He was gentler than his sister, lacking her temper or anger. His magic manifested at age 16. Khalil and Lelia knew it was dangerous, but they chose to have Lelia train him in magic because of his calmer nature, they assumed his magic would be easier to hide. He took well to creation, like his mother, and was naturally attuned to ice magic. He helped with subtle things, like keeping ingredients cool for his father's bakery, and growing herbs and plants out in their garden with creation. He joins up with the inquisition at his sister's urging as a support mage, and a healer. He eventually joins Bull's Chargers and assists stitches with ailments that need a magical help, and occasionally fights on the field as support. (Also iron Bull romance)

oc horror tropes

was tagged by @astertataricusblog to do this uquiz for my ocs, thank you <33 I already did the big 3 over on my main blog but decided to show some love to some others :3

I’m going to keep this as an open tag so if anyone wants to do this you can just tag me

cyra - the ancient evil

they have wronged you. perhaps, once, you were something powerful– something to be looked at with adoration and worship and fear. but time does not yield to you, and when you lay to sleep, you awake to find yourself forgotten. your rage is insatiable. no matter what, you will make sure they do not forget this time.

bohean - the ghost

death is not the end for everyone. it certainly was not the end for you. something within you tethers you here, like a heavy chain, and keeps you from well-deserved rest. love, rage, hunger, fear– do you even remember what it was? you wander here, awake, and your body lies below, asleep. maybe someone will find your disturbed grave and grant you a proper ending.

hal - the killer

was there ever a choice? maybe, but that fork in the road is far, far behind you. you surround yourself now with sharp things, tools to harm, and they have become your only family. you are the thing that goes bump in the night, and you hunt for scurrying mice like a hungry cat. maybe, just maybe, though, one can finally put an end to your hunt, and allow you to finally rest.

[curiouslavellan]

In the back of my mind I am always thinking about my younger Adaar who is Bull's biological child with a Tamassran who left the Qun while pregnant

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

For the oc ask game!! 10, 37, and 38 for Liam please? I love him sm😭<3

[ask game]

Thank you for the ask!! <3

10. which oc is the biggest romantic?

Liam, no contest lmao. This idiot is such a hopeless sap

37. which oc has the best handwriting? the worst?

Neira's is probably the best as in the most neat/legible, and Ari's is the best as in the prettiest (not necessarily legible tho lol). June and Noya are both contenders for worst; June cos she writes too fast or without paying attention, and Noya's just looks messy smh no matter how hard she tries to write neatly

38. drop a fun fact about your oc ! (Liam)

He takes up playing lute as a hobby after Orana teaches him how to play, and he's pretty decent at it!

[ramblinganthropologist]

Kaaras Adaar: I was a competent rogue once.

Also Kaaras Adaar: Falls on hiss ass regularly, trips over things, blows his cover.

[eye-of-yelough]

this 🤏 close to making Slater a 40 year old virgin

[crows-of-buckets]

Yall selene is squishy as hell look at her fucking health bar 💀

282 health... It would probably be better if I took off the winter pact belt however. No <3 I have a belt of constitution that I can put on her if I really need but the tiny health bar is so funny to me. Knight enchanter who dies in one hit. Glass canon frfr

🎲🎮 🥪🎒 for Chloe, Chronos, Dari and Sigrid? c:

Thanks for the ask laya!! :] RAMBLE TIME WEEEE [Ask game]

🎲 If your OC played a pen and paper RPG, what class would they pick? Warrior, mage, thief, ranger, cleric, paladin, druid, necromancer, bard (or other, if that’s not enough)

Chloe: Ohhh she would pick thief no question about it. She would see the opportunity for the most ‘little-shit class to pair with a little-shit backstory’ and THRIVE

Chronos: Chronos would probably pick mage (it’s the only thing he knows) or necromancer! He already finds it fascinating enough in DAI itself but in an RPG? He’d love all the lore so much

Da’revas: Druid!!! He loves nature!!!! He wants to turn into a silly creature!!!!!!

Sigrid: Oh she’d also pick necromancer no doubt. Her special interest unfortunately is death and everything around it- BUT she would also love to pick something like Monk or Druid. Those classes radiate such peacefulness to her that she would really yearn for even if only in a pen and paper RPG

🎮 If your OC lives or would live in the modern world, would they like video games? What would be their favorite game?

Chloe: No they’d give her headaches <3 staring at a screen too long would give her headaches (<- woman who refuses to get glasses and then sits way too close to her screen)

Chronos: Yes but only farming sims. He would fuck with Stardew Valley so hard it wouldn’t even be funny anymore

Da’revas: He would not like video games to be honest, he’s a board game fella you know, he can’t be video-gaming, he’s frolicking in the grass

Sigrid: She’d love old video games, like from the 80s-90s, like: The Legend of Zelda 1986, the original Fallout games, Prince of Persia, Street Fighter II and Super Mario 64. She loves old shit

🥪 On a scale from ‘burns water’ to ‘5 course menu’ how well can your OC cook?

Chloe: She knows how to cook, but not spectacularly or anything like that. It would be edible, and some things she can definitely make well- but most things are like “This is okay”. Once Bela moves in semi-permanently into Hawke’s estate they cook together, which makes Chloe think she’s a master chef “LOOK at me cooking for my GIRLFRIEND”

Chronos: He’d be a good cook definitely, he learnt baking from his dad when he was a kid and cooking from both his moms. He definitely enjoys it too- whenever he gets the chance he helps around in Skyhold’s kitchen

Da’revas: Noooopeeee. He can’t cook. He’s good at GETTING food (i.e. hunting), he knows which stalls in the market have the best foods for the best price- DONT ask him to cook it he will BURN everything

Sigrid: Can’t really cook too bad but not well either? She’s never been taught, she didn’t live with her adoptive family (before bhaal) long enough to learn. And when she was in the temple of bhaal she didn’t really… cook much (Because of the cannibalism). When she’s out on the road with the others Gale and Will try to teach her how to cook- so now she’s certified “Okay at cooking”

🎒 If your OC had to pick three things of all their belongings to keep, which would they chose?

Chloe: Oh EASY. Her favourite (not blood magic related) knife, her mabari and her journal <3

Chronos: NOT easy. I think he’d keep his hair brush, the compass he got from his parents and gloves he and Iron Bull made together once (for combat reasons only. No gay reasons at all.)

Da’revas: Necklace he got from Merrill and Tamlen, the ring Morri got him aaaaand because he’s a sap a drawing Kieran had made once (one of those ‘my family’ drawings most kids make at five years old)

Sigrid: Ohhh tough one too actually. I think Sig would keep her weapons (practical), a locket with a strand of Karlach’s hair in it (she’s also a sap) and probably the owlbear cub (that’s her emotional support creature)

[sekaithemystic]

me: elissa cousland is the wisest one among my mcs

me after going through anora, loghain and alistair character arcs and see ingame politics more than a compromise: actually she might be the worst at making decisions
