Alone, ghost for your Trevelyan Inky

This is for the OC asks here - feel free to ask me any questions, or let me know if you've posted it, so I can ask you some! I'm doing them for Rook Ingellvar & Inquisitor Trevelyan.

---

ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts?

Aedan Trevelyan is haunted by his mother.

He is the youngest by far, born in the years between her first son's death and her second being sent to the circle. Two other children had already been sent off to serve the Maker, and the loss of so many children devistated the delicate woman.

Aedan was a great comfort to his mother. She kept him in her room instead of the nursery, and his early memories are being curled in bed with her, telling her the adventures of his dolls as she played with his hair. He was good at making her smile, and he did it as often as he could.

It was his mother who taught him to ride, and he would spend hours with her in her garden and hothouse. As they worked, she would tell him of growing up on a horse farm and her family in Wyncome. When Aedan's father deemed archery inappropriate for girls, it was Aedan's mother that convinced him to reconsider.

However, Aedan's mother would never truly stand up to his father. Aedan heard others say that, at one point, she'd been able to, but that part of her had left with his brothers.

So when his father learned that Aedan intended to live as a man, she didn't protect him from his rage. She just came to him after, to sit by his bed and hold his hand. When his father forced him into life as a chantry sister, she didn't push back. She just sat with him in the silence on the long carriage ride, then visited him once a fortnight with books, hothouse flowers, and biscuits from Cook.

When he ran away and his father disinherited him, she wrote her brother in Wyncome to request he adopt Aedan as his heir, and told Aedan it was for the best that he not come home.

Time passed, and as his father's rage cooled, so did his threats. His mother requested he come to visit, and Aedan refused. The requests continued, and then became requests that they come to visit instead, until Aedan wrote that he would see her, but only if she came alone.

When she wrote that she could not, that her husband forbid it, and again requested he visit, his anger reached a breaking point. He penned a letter listing the ways his father had hurt him, and her failures as a mother to protect him. It was true, but he still regretted it once the anger passed.

His mother sent him a letter that just said she loved him, and she was sorry. She never asked again.

He thinks of her, alone in that manor with a man who does not love her, and wonders if she ever smiles. He dreams of her fingers in his hair, or of the sunlight in her garden, and of his father dying so he can finally take her away from there. He fears he might die first.

But he does not visit, and she does not ask.

(I will do alone soon!)

Ocs as song lyrics

Thank you so much for the tag @dirty-bosmer and @mareenavee 💖💖 I love this idea so much!

Rambles will be under the cut! Also, I am tagging @thelavenderelf @kiir-do-faal-rahhe @bougainvillea-and-saltwater @shitty-drawer and anyone else who wants to join in!

For Ravonna, I chose something more angsty and serious, as I'm currently writing the chapters where she will eventually be forced to come face to face with her grief. The song I chose is "The drug in me is you" by Falling in Reverse. This is like her angsty anthem in WYGTYA! The lyrics really represent how she refuses to deal with unpleasant emotions and to always hide behind the "cheery, fun bard" mask. Also, the last line could be an exploration of her feelings towards being the last dragonborn.

I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house I wrestle with my thoughts I shook the hand of doubt Running from my past I'm praying feet don't fail me now!

I've lost my god damn mind It happens all the time I can't believe I'm actually Meant to be here

I've said it once and I'll say it again, "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls is Miraak's song! The pining!! The softness!! The suffering!! And these lyrics really fit into his arc of how he wants to get rid of the 'Miraak' persona once and for all because that's not who he is. He doesn't want the world to see him as 'Miraak' because they wouldn’t understand. They don't know what he's been through and how he was forced to join the Dragon Cult and become their leader. He wants people to know who he really is. And he is Fenrik, the healer from Atmora with a heart that is too soft.

And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

For my beloved Hjaldir (who *will* be in my fic at some point, I promise), I think that the perfect song is "Slipping through my fingers" by ABBA. As of where the story is now, we don't really know what happened to him. One day he was living at the Emerald Bar Tavern as the bard, laughing and having a great time and going on several trips to High Rock to resupply the Tavern, and the next day, Ravonna’s adoptive father was assassinated, and both her and Teldryn were gone. So they all slipped through his fingers :( But Ravvy's absence hurts the most. He knew her from when she was a little kid. He watched her grow, he's been there for her in all the stages of life.

The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time

And now for my beloved Dragon Age ocs, because I cannot do this without including them!

For Max Trevelyan, I chose "The little things give you away" by Linkin Park. Wow, I really woke up today and chose angst, but these lyrics really fit with his family and how disapproving they are of him even just for the fact that he exists. And how becoming the Inquisitor and the one with the ability to close the rifts was the best think that happened to him, because he finally cut ties with his family. Really ironic, considering that The Anchor was slowly killing him. BUT HE IS FINE NOW, LIVING HIS BEST LIFE WITH HIS HUSBAND AND HIS ORANGE KITTY.

Don't want to reach for me, do you?

I mean nothing to you

The little things give you away

And now there will be no mistaking

The levees are breaking

And for Aedan Cousland, I went with the angsty option again. I chose this wonderful song called "Burning Daylight" by Dion Cooper and Mia Nicolai. This song could fit with several ocs of mine, but it encapsulates Aedan's feelings towards his dangerous quest and being a grey warden. It perfectly encapsulates the pressure of wanting to be a grey warden to honour his father's deathbed wish, but hating every part of being a grey warden, especially how everyone in the order hid the gory details from him before he joined. He feels like he is running out of time, but he wants to burn daylight, he wants to slow down and just live, while he still can.

From all to zero Where did I go?

Between falling and running I've been trying to get on my feet in time I've never been good at crying Always wanted to be the tough type

I'm sorry, I'm just human I'm losing myself while chasing highs I'm losing myself while chasing highs And burning daylight

my thoughts after finishing my Dragon Age playthrough, pt. 3: Dragon Age Inquisition

WOOF. the longest game to play by far, and this will probably be my longest post. right up front: this is my least favorite game of the four. that being said! i was the most emotionally invested in this story, and leaving the Inquisition after 100+ hours of playing made me cry actual big baby tears. i played everything EXCEPT Jaws of Hakkon - same issue with Legacy/Awakening, i was SO SICK of the tedium that i had to move on to end game/Trespasser at some point. here we go!

Dragon Age: Inquisition major decisions made: - warrior (Reaver) human male Inquisitor (Aedan Trevelyan) - romanced Dorian - did SO MANY war table operations - evenly spread across the three advisors - all companions & advisors befriended & stayed loyal (other than Solas, iykyk) - sided with the mages as allies - accepted being the Herald of Andraste - Celene lives & rules alone - Morrigan drank out of the well, allied with temple guardians - used judgements to recruit agents - Grey Wardens rebuilt - sacrificed Stroud to the Fade (sorry Stroud) - Cassandra is Divine - saved the mines & stopped the earthquakes in Descent - disbanded the Inquisition - swore to stop Solas at all costs

good lord. this game was a massive pain in the ass in the best way possible. i got so overwhelmed with the amount of things to do that i was using pen and paper to keep track. when my fiance asked why i was so overwhelmed, i listed all the things the player needs to manage in this game: - your own skills/inventory - your companions' skills/equipment - passive War Table operations - requisition quests - fade rifts - faction quests in every single part of the map - SIDE quests in every single part of the map - companion quests that take you all over the map - puzzles.........so many puzzles - shards - astrariums - upgrading Skyhold - the whole Wicked Hearts quest (took me almost THREE HOURS) - judgements - random dragons - INTENTIONAL dragons - fighting the actual antagonist of the game so, understandably, by the time i cleared all of the major stuff off of the base game map, i was ready to tap out and start end game. i didn't finish the shards or the astrariums, and every time i went to the Frostback Basin to start Jaws of Hakkon, i STILL got my ass kicked at level 50. i could feel Skyrim's influence on every inch of this game, but especially in its desperation to be open world and giving you mini quests at every turn. it wanted to pull you away from the main story while still making the threat of Corypheus seem urgent, which was jarring when i would finally move forward with a story quest. that's what makes me feel like there were too many quests - sure, the Inquisition needs to spend time clearing enemies from strongholds and building relationships with allies, but the amount of fetch quests and puzzles made faction-specific and companion quests a lot less impactful on the main goal. running around Skyhold to chat with my companions felt like a whole separate quest and i would need to set aside time between quests to make sure i checked in with everyone. after doing allllllllllll this bullshit all over the map and getting the shit kicked out of me by random dragons, the endgame fight just felt incredibly anticlimactic.

the combat in this game is a pain in the ass, and they completely changed all of the mechanics from the first two games that i enjoyed!!! what do you mean, i don't get to automate when my party takes potions? what do you MEAN, none of my mages have a regular healing ability???? i have to bring these squishy motherfuckers around for range and they're gonna use up all my potions??? getting rid of the "talent" part of the wheel was the worst decision - i'm investing all of these skill points and i'm limited in the amount of abilities i can actually utilize? i truly hated the combat here. my usual party makeup was warrior/rogue/mage, like i did in the other two games, but my rogue and mage could never stay alive for the whole combat sequence! tbf 99% of the time, my party was Dorian/Varric/Blackwall because Blackwall literally never died, ever. once i toughened myself up a bit, i started cycling my companions a little more - poor Iron Bull never got much play as another two-handed Reaver

with all my gripes about pacing aside, the companions in this game are just as fantastic as they were in DA2, and now i get to spend even more time with them at Skyhold??? once i finally figured out where everyone was and the easiest ways to get there, i couldn't leave anyone alone! i got to the point where i could tell if it was going to be a cut-scene conversation vs. a regular conversation by the end! the companions and advisors were the heart and soul of this game 100%. i was giggling and kicking my feet because i made my Inquisitor look EXACTLY like my HoF (with the same name!) and the scenes with Leliana and Morrigan (and Kieran!!!!!! My son!!!!!!) felt extra special just imagining them thinking about my warden!! i may or may not have cried at some of Morrigan's dialogue based on my imported choices from the Keep. i think they did a great job with Leliana's characterization across the series, as Left Hand of the Divine is exactly what i would've pictured my Leliana doing after Origins. Cullen is ok! he's another character i don't get the hype for, but i really loved getting to convince him to stay sober and adopt a Mabari at the end. i think it was a beautiful arc for his story following the events of (my) Origins and DA2. Josephine is a sweet and perfect baby angel and i feel so bad she gets wrapped up in all this!!

WHOLE separate paragraph about my romance: Dorian is the best romance in the whole series, 10/10, no notes. his companion quest is absolutely heartbreaking whether you're able to romance him or not, and if you ARE romancing him, oh my god my sweet baby boy. he's so happy that you want to be WITH him and you aren't just toying with his feelings and you inspire him to be a better person and fix Tevinter???? literally just thinking about him gets me emotional again. the way he reacts to you DYING if you bring him along during the last quest in Trespasser? truly heartbreaking. my sweet amatus, i don't know if any other Inquisition romance will ever stack up to you. a lot of DA fans will say Solavellan is the canon romance for DAI, but Dorian/Trevelyan is an extremely close second (and i wish we had gotten MORE in DATV). Dorian may be Lavellan's bestie, but he's Trevelyan's husband forever!!!!

the other companions: also such beautiful, well thought out stories! doing pranks with Sera and being a Red Jenny in the epilogue slides, teaching Cole to be more human, helping Iron Bull embrace his found family, giving Varric closure with the red lyrium and his brother, giving Thom Ranier his redemption.......i could literally go on for ages but all of these dummies made me cry. especially Cassandra, who couldn't stop talking about how i was her best friend and now she's my Divine and i absolutely love her (i was between romancing her and Dorian and i'm so happy with my decision tbh, Cassandra would be way better as a lesbian). i did personally want Leliana as Divine but i guess i was hyping my girl up a little too much. even the characters i disagreed with, like Vivienne, still thanked me for my friendship and made sure to tell me how much they valued me and my help!!! truly, for all of my gripes with the pacing of this game, the amazing writing behind the companions really made it all worth it in the end. i love these big dummies.

however, the Inquisitor is the most booooooooring protagonist of the series! i think playing as a white human male who is a warrior really made me feel as White Bread as possible, but the dialogue choices are sooooooooooo lackluster and you can tell anybody literally whatever you want with no pushback. most dialogue options didn't even have tone indicators! they were all just arrows that led the conversation on a specific path, but all options had the same bland tone. even though i said i believed i was the Herald of Andraste, i was still able to tell other characters that i didn't actually believe in the Maker or change my tune in other conversations. there was no crazy fallout when we realized i wasn't the Herald of Andraste, just me being able to "choose" that i was bummed or that i knew all along. the BEST writing for the Inquisitor is 100% in the Trespasser DLC in the Exalted Council. i had played my Inky as mostly diplomatic/stoic, but sarcastic when the moment called for it (head on a pike, anyone?), so when i got to choose angry dialogue options at the very end, i was ALL IN. it felt like justice - this exalted council wants to decide our fate, after everything i've done for them? fuck that, i'm disbanding the Inquisition. good luck, motherfuckers. Solas was manipulating me the whole time? you piece of shit, i'll track you down and kill you myself. leave me to die? i'll cut off my arm, loser. all this pent up rage came FLYING out after 100 hours of gameplay and i finally got some "fist" options!!! i think you can really tell that the writers were toying with bringing back an already-existing protagonist up until the very end solely based on the writing for my poor inquisitor.

the callbacks to the previous games were so high quality without feeling forced (or ruining my canon)! having Dagna as my enchanter and getting to listen to her little chirping every time i went down there was so much fun, as i felt so bad i basically destroyed the Circle when i went back to tell her in Orzammar. i'm glad she insisted on going anyway!! getting to customize my Hawke was SO exciting - idk how i managed to go this long without knowing i would get to do that. i did yeet Stroud off into the Fade, even though in my heart of hearts i know that's what Flemeth's comment to Hawke was about in DA2, but i really needed my besties Varric & Marian to rule Kirkwall together. also, Varric being Viscount of Kirkwall was the absolute craziest lore drop they gave us in Trespasser and i hate pretending it's not!!!! i'm so emotional thinking about my friends moving on and becoming important people and better people because of their interactions with my character!!!

now - Trespasser. as a non-Solavellan, i still felt like this was for me, but solely to get closure on the Inquisition and officially say goodbye to my friends. since i played this after finishing VG, i...........wasn't so pleased with Solas, but i really found that pushing back on him as much as possible throughout the entire game gave much more satisfying dialogue, especially at the end, because i wasn't trying to romance him. i think that's why the writing for Inky got so much better in Trespasser - it was meant to give closure to the player, and i'm glad the writers moved away from our milquetoast Herald into someone grieving - either through sadness or anger. i could feel that my Inky was betrayed by someone he considered a friend, confidant, and advisor! he was another victim of the Dread Wolf, the Trickster God we had been learning about the whole entire series at this point. it was sooooooooo satisfying to basically tell him to fuck off and i'll hunt him down and kill him, no matter what it takes (WHICH WILL COME BACK LATER!!!!!). number one moment of the whole entire game was getting to bitch out Teagan at the very end of the Exalted Council, choosing the fist option and disbanding the Inquisition. i've been thinking about my ending monologue for over a week at this point. it's been ringing in my head every time i choose a dialogue option in VG, every time my inky pops up or i get a letter from him. i'm being haunted by the narrative of the most boring man in Thedas and i love him so much.

my poor sweet Inquisitor and First Gentleman Aedan Trevelyan-Pavus, i hope you get to retire with your hubby and find peace <3

Inquisition gets a very emotion 6/10 from me. combat bad, player character mostly boring, but god damn the companions carried this game on their backs.

[harrycollins]

3, 4, and 9 for the da4 ask if you’re still doing them?

thank you for the ask <3

3. Do you usually play as a warrior, mage, or rogue? Which class are you planning to try first this time around? Which subclass?

I am a slut for dragon age rogues... especially dual wielding. I enjoyed it so much at da:o and da:i also I am making an Antivan Crow character so Rogue just looks fitting hehe. I will probably pick the closest subclass to Assassin.

4. What does your worldstate look like going into DAV?

Aedan Cousland ('romanced' Nathaniel shhh) Dualist Rogue, killed Connor, recruited mages, brokered peace between Elves and Werewolves, supported Bhelen, speared Loghain, Alistair and Anora rules together, he is the father of Kieran. Julias Hawke (romanced Anders) Reaver Warrior, Bethany became a Circle Mage, killed Arishok in a duel, sided with Mages, escaped with Anders Friedrich Trevelyan (romanced Dorian) Knight Enchanter Mage, conscripted Mages, he drink from the well, Leliana is the Divine, didn't disband the Inquisition

9. Which romance, if any, do you plan to pursue first?

Emmrich with my Antivan Crow. Old Man Yaoi time for me.

[apoptomon]

I don’t have a console or computer that can run it, but seeing a lot of talk about Dragon Age Veilguard has me thinking about my world state for Thedas. On the one hand, I could continue my line of male human warriors with ‘A’ names—Aedan Cousland, Avery Hawke, Alec Trevelyan—or change things up and do like a mage or rogue class save file first.

Also wonder how much effect the plot flags in the world state builder will have, because I was hoping for drama between my pro-mage Hawke and pro-Templar inquisitor, but that conflict was over before the characters met.

Aedan Trevelyan!

I wanted to post a picture of him so I could link to it in my fic. He's an archery-based rogue who romances Dorian, disbands the Inquisition, supported Cassandra as the next Divine, and wants to convince Solas to change his mind.

Also, if you're in the trans community, you probably know almost exactly how old I am based on the fact my transgender Inquisitor is named Aedan.

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″
