OC Masterpost

🚧 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.

[v-arbellanaris]

in light of this post i wanna talk abt my ocs names!!!! obv some of u were already here for the changes but!!!! the logic behind my da oc names hehehehe

WARDENS

Evadne (/iːˈvædniː/; Ancient Greek: Εὐάδνη): From Greek Εὐάδνη (Euadne), from εὖ (eu) meaning "good" possibly combined with Cretan Greek ἀδνός (adnos) meaning "holy".

Explanation: Felt like an unwell name for a trans Circle mage to choose for herself.

Kalyani (/kæljɑːni/; Sanskrit: कल्याणी): Means "beautiful, lovely, auspicious" in Sanskrit.

Explanation: Default Tabris is Kallian, which seems like a good Fereldan name, but I really wanted to draw on themes around belonging and identity with Kal, and so giving her a name that could be confused for Kallian was something I really wanted to do - to reflect the Anglicisation that often happens to our mothertongue names. Also, desi elves ftw.

Faris (/ˈfaː.ris/; Arabic; فارس): Means "horseman, knight" in Arabic.

Explanation: One of my favourite names.

Aedan (/ˈeɪ.dən/; Old Irish: Áedán): From the Old Irish name Áedán meaning "little fire", a diminutive of Áed.

Explanation: Literally just the default m!Cousland name because I could not be bothered.

CHAMPIONS

Lysander (/laɪˈsændə/): Latinized form of the Greek name Λύσανδρος (Lysandros), and it means "liberator".

Explanation: Pro-mage Hawke. Self explanatory (:

Miranda (/mɪ.ˈɹæn.də/): Derived from Latin mirandus meaning "admirable, wonderful". The name was created by Shakespeare for the heroine in his play The Tempest (1611), in which Miranda and her father Prospero are stranded on an island.

Explanation: I do just like the name but hmmm potentially some thoughts around mage!Hawke and Malcolm dynamics...?

Damon (/ˈdeɪ.mən/; Ancient Greek: Δάμων): Derived from Greek δαμάζω (damazo) meaning "to tame". According to Greek legend, Damon and Pythias were friends who lived on Syracuse in the 4th century BC. When Pythias was sentenced to death, he was allowed to temporarily go free on the condition that Damon take his place in prison. Pythias returned just before Damon was to be executed in his place, and the king was so impressed with their loyalty to one another that he pardoned Pythias.

Explanation: Thinking about Handers so no one talk to me rn.

Amalia (/a.ˈmaː.li̯a/; Greek; Αμαλία): Short form of Germanic names beginning with the element amal. This element means "unceasing, vigorous, brave", or it can refer to the Gothic dynasty of the Amali (derived from the same root).

Explanation: Chose this one because I wanted a warrior!Hawke, who was only ever really a warrior because of necessity. Of all my Hawkes, Mal is actually the one who adapts to being a noble well (Leandra's daughter, through and through), and so I wanted to explore different kinds of strength.

Alexis (/ə.ˈlɛk.sɪs/; Ancient Greek; Ἄλεξις): From the Greek name Ἄλεξις (Alexis) meaning "helper" or "defender", derived from Greek ἀλέξω (alexo) meaning "to defend, to help".

Explanation: Felt like a super fitting name for a red warrior Hawke tbh!!!!

Joan (/ˈd͡ʒoʊn/): Medieval English form of Johanne, an Old French form of Iohanna (Joanna). A famous bearer was Joan of Arc, a patron saint of France (where she is known as Jeanne d'Arc). She was a 15th-century peasant girl who, after claiming she heard messages from God, was given leadership of the French army. She defeated the English in the battle of Orléans but was eventually captured and burned at the stake.

Explanation: Joan is my pro-Templar Sebmancing playthrough. Of course I named her after Joan of Arc.

Maimunah (/maj.ˈmuː.nah/; Arabic: ميمونة): Means "auspicious, blessed, favourable" in Arabic, in the Malay and Indonesian form.

Explanation: Thought about Malcolm naming his tiny mage daughter and wanted to cry. Also, I've always really loved this name - I knew an adult with this name as a kid, and she was really just... I admired her so much. So why not!!!

INQUISITOR

Isra (/ʔis.ˈraːʔ/; Arabic: إسراء): Means "nocturnal journey", derived from Arabic سرى (sara) meaning "to travel at night" - refers to the Prophet's journey from Makkah to Jerusalem (Isra' and Mi'raj)

Explanation: If you know the context behind this name, then the link to the Herald is quite obvious.

Iskandar (/ʔis.ˈkan.dar/; Arabic: إسكندر): Arabic, Malay and Indonesian form of the name Alexander, which is the Latinized form of the Greek name Ἀλέξανδρος (Alexandros), which meant "defending men" from Greek ἀλέξω (alexo) meaning "to defend, help" and ἀνήρ (aner) meaning "man" (genitive ἀνδρός).

Explanation: I've talked a bit abt it before over here!

Mahanon

Explanation: Default m!Lavellan name.

Ellana

Explanation: Default f!Lavellan name.

Marya (/ˈma.rʲjə/)

Explanation: Actually, I wanted to do Arya but. Um. I accidentally. Anyway.

[queen-scribbles]

I was thinking about my Dragon Age canons and realized one of them has dwarf Warden, Hawke(human), and elf Inquisitor, so clearly that one'll need a qunari Rook. xD

[mageofquandrix]

I'm curious, did anyone else imagine their non-f! Lavellan as having a crush on Solas, for any amount of time? If so, how did it go?

My Aedan Trevelyan did have a tiny crush on him early on. Solas is self assured, very kind and reassuring, incredibly smart and, due to his knowledge of the fade, a bit of an authority figure. Aedan really responded to that.

He could tell Solas wasn't interested, so he never intentionally flirted with him. He also thought Solas couldn't tell, which was less true.

I imagine the day Aedan saw Dorian and went "that is the most handsome man I have ever seen in my entire life", it was a bit of a relief for Solas.

[labaguettegameuse]

Hey guys ! I'm doing anything else beside playing the actual game. But after the hype of veilguard, i wanted to recreate my wardens with the character creation of baldur's gate.

Here's my very first warden ever ; Oranathra Surana. Elf, Mage. Romanced Alistair and let Anora rule. Was okay with the dark ritual. Didn't side with the Architect, let Morrigan leave peacefully through the eluvian. Became the warden commander of Ferelden. Got two children with Alistair ; A boy and a girl named Zathvin and Fiona. Long lost sister of Inquisitor Nesiawen Lavellan. Is a metamorph and a knight enchanter. Left the staff aside for a two handed magical sword. Her mother used to be an ancient guardian of mythal's temple before she met her father.

My son, King Aedan Cousland. Romanced Morrigan, Performed the dark ritual. Is ruling with Anora. Didn't side with the Architect. Left through the eluvian with Morrigan to raise Kieran. Had another son with Anora named ; Bryce. Is a champion and Spirit warrior. Use a shield and a sword.

Elenaril Mahariel. Romanced Zevran, Was okay with the dark ritual. Alistair is ruling alone, but wished Elenarial could have stayed at his side. Somehow. Sided with the architect (i think). Let Morrigan leave through the eluvian peacefully. Is a ranger and a duelist. Became blind from one eye after the betrayal of Ostagar. Often travel with Zevran, whenever if it's for finding a cure for the calling or other chilling and deadly matters. Use dual blades and knifes.

Lucianna Cousland. Romanced Alistair and became Queen with him. Was okay with the dark ritual. Didn't side with the architect. Let Morrigan leave through the eluvian peacefully. Is trying her best to help Alistair commanding and leading his armies, while taking care of her grey wardens. Desperately want children with Alistair but tries to find a cure to the calling first. Is a Berserker and a reaver. Use a Two handed sword gifted by Sten.

And my last addition so far; Mara Tabris. Is romancing Leliana. Anora and Alistair ruling side by side. Was okay with the dark ritual. Siding with the architect. Let Morrigan alone through the eluvian peacefully. Is often leaving the keep to find a cure for the calling so she could fully enjoy her life with Leliana one day. Is a bard and a legionnaire scout. Use a magnificent handcrafted bow and dagger, gifts from her beloved.

OC Height Comparison Chart

@opal-bee​ did this nifty chart (site here) and I wanted to play too.

I just used my Dragon Age characters. Canon love interests are there in grey for comparison, except Annis’ Alistair, who I also accept as being 6 feet, same as Cullen, who is there. 

The site works in metric, but here are their heights in feet and inches, which is how my brain understands height.

Zevran I’ve put at 5′4″, short for an elf but also, to my mind, unusually broad-shouldered.

Aedan Cousland is fucking huge by any reasonable standard, 6′7″ and built like Thor. He throws the whole damn chart off visually.

Annis Amell is 5′2″, but what the chart won’t let me show is that she’s also fat and stacked. She doesn’t get any lighter hiking around and fighting, just stronger.

Jeannie Hawke is slim and lithe, and just over 5′4″

Fenris I didn’t really have a specific height in mind for and I don’t remember what canon says. I just see him as being...average elf dude height? So I put him at 5′6″

Ainsley Trevelyan, the only one here who isn’t in the Little Fox canon, is also 5′6″. She’s built sturdy, not particularly curvy but solid.

Cullen Rutherford I put at 6′, which I think fits well enough with the information we’re provided.

Samhal Lavellan is my smallest guy at not quite 5′3″, small even for an elf. He’s not built as narrow as the base model male elf, with shoulders and, at least initially, some padding over smooth dancer’s muscle. He gets pretty rundown though.

Solas I’ve made tall for an elf but not for a human, and put at 5′9″

[morganlefaye79]

OC Height Chart

I got tagged by @noire-pandora and @cleverblackcat​ to use this this height chart maker.

I had already figured out how tall or short my OC are but I never made a chart for them, this was a good opportunity to do so.

Heroes of Ferelden:

Champions and Inquisitors:

I am tagging:

@silvanils | @nivenor-krosis​ | @inquisitoracorn​ | @cartadwarfwithaheartofgold​ | @musetta3​ | @wardenrainwall​ | @melisusthewee​ | @cleverblackcat​ | @rosella-writes​ | @darethshirl​ | @lorkaji-writes​

I know that you don’t have as much OC as I do but it might be fun anyway! 

[for-the-ninth]

The third chapter of The Life That Left Me has been posted! Here's a preview:

“Have you any idea what you’ve done?” If the lack of wrinkles weren’t evidence enough, the cracks in Aedan’s voice gave way to his age now as the shrillness of his words pierced through the serene silence of the night.

“I-I’m sorry,” Cullen replied, shaking his head. “I’m not following.”

Aedan was still pushing against Shielan’s arm as he spoke, digging his heels into the ground for leverage. Leliana’s eyes flitted between him and Shielan, one hand fingering the grip of the dagger at her waist, as if she were considering how and when to intervene. Shielan shot her a fiery glare and Leliana backed away, hands falling to her sides.

“Iris—my sweet, perfect Iris,” Aedan cried. “One of your templars made her Tranquil. She never would’ve hurt a fly, but he wanted a new plaything.”

As Aedan’s voice grew louder, people trickled out from their tents to see the commotion. Shielan scanned the area, keeping a watchful eye on the soldiers in the crowd as she kept the boy at bay.

Cullen lowered his voice and stepped toward the boy. “Aedan, I had no idea about—”

“Bullshit!” Aedan was red-faced and screaming now, tears welling at the corners of his eyes and enraged spittle flying from his lips. “She told me what you said—that mages aren’t people, that the Rite is an act of mercy. Had it been up to you, the whole Circle would’ve been Tranquil!”

Shielan turned her glare to Cullen. “Is that true?”

His eyebrows drew together, and the corners of his mouth pulled themselves into a pleading frown as he spoke to her. “It was at the time, but I—”

“Your Knight-Commander locked them away like dogs, turning them Tranquil even after they passed their Harrowing, while you stood by and watched!” Aedan shouted.

The crowd was growing bigger and coming closer now, with heightened murmurs rippling through it. The people pointed and stared at Cullen as his face crumbled beneath the boy’s words.

“I-I thought she was protecting them,” he said. “I’d no reason to distrust her. I thought—”

“The Circle never protected anyone! That’s why I joined the Mage Underground, to protect my own from scum like Knight-Commander Meredith—from scum like you.”
