Dragon Age NPC Ages in DA: The Veilguard

This assumes that the 9 10 years between Dragon Age Inquisition and Dragon Age: The Veilguard refer to the Trespasser DLC (as in the last time Varric would have seen Solas; confirmed in Dev Q&A on 6/14/24). This places DAV in 9:54. Characters who showed up in a previous game will not be repeated in the lists for later games they also appeared in (i.e., Leliana is under DAO, not DAI).

Read more for length & spoiler reasons. The ages listed are assuming they have not had their birthday in 9:54 yet.

ETA1: I used the ages & evidence summarized by @dalishious in this post, superseding those ages with newer evidence where available or my own interpretation of textual evidence (when given a range I personally favor smack in the middle more often than not).

ETA2: Changed year/ages to reflect the Q&A information that Veilguard is 10 years post-Trespasser, not 9 as originally stated.

[autistic-red-jenny]

Your ocs + their reactions to when they first realized they have a crush on their love interest

Keira CouslandThe realization was... tricky for Keira. The last person that she slept with was murdered in front of her. So it was like... “Oh he’s cute... oh shit I like him. How is this going to go wrong now.”

Tamsyn Amell It took a while for Tamsyn. Sex was easy, she and Zevran had both done the the casual sex thing before. But feelings are messy and other than a couple crushes when she was a lot younger, it wasn’t anything she’d done before. So not only did it take a while to realize what was going on, it was even harder to figure out what to do next.

Riva Mahariel Riva is a very affectionate person, and she’s never had trouble saying how she feels. So when she realized what she felt, she basically just went for it.

Fiya TabrisFiya is an oblivious lesbian. She kept her feelings deep inside and didn’t realize Leliana returned them until Leliana told her outright.

Aliss HawkeAliss casually flirts with everyone, especially people as attractive as Fenris. She backed off some when they got to know each other because she didn’t want to cross boundaries when that was clearly a little new and sensitive for him (as compared to Isabela, who she flirts with throughout their friendship as a sign of affection). When she realized that she had real, actual feelings, she got more and more awkward around him because she wasn’t used to interaction without six layers of feigned confidence in the way.

Damon Hawke Damon fell hard and fast for Anders. He was nervous for a bit, since Anders seemed to be putting up walls, but every interaction made him happy.

Lanyla LavellanLanyla has had a lot more crushes than relationships--life as a Keeper’s First took a lot of her time. She flirted casually with Cullen, not thinking that anything would happen, and when Cullen actually responded to it she had a fair amount of time going ohshitwhathappensnextohshit before deciding that this fight against Corypheus meant she might die anyway so she might as well go for it.

Nymeria Trevelyan Nymeria found Bull attractive from the first, and the sex was amazing. It took a while to realize that she what she was feeling were actual feelings, and for a while that made her really nervous because she was afraid that would ruin everything. Then Bull told her about the dragon’s tooth thing, and then they killed a dragon and she decided to take a chance and make the necklaces.

Isenna LavellanIsenna is similar to Sera in that she doesn’t beat around the bush when she feels something. She knew what she felt and what she wanted from Sera and Dagna right away. It took a little while to sort of figure out how they all fit together, but she was confident about it.

Hissera Adaar Hissera used to be confident with women. She thought she was cool and suave, and even thought she traveled too much to do serious relationships, she always felt that things went well. Josie sent that all out the window. Just a casual conversation turned Hissera into a fumbling mess.

Anaan Adaar Anaan felt like he had to tread carefully with Dorian. Anaan wanted a real relationship, but knowing Dorian’s past made him nervous about how to approach things. He didn’t want to freak Dorian out or go too quickly, but he also fell hard pretty quickly.

Alanna TrevelyanAlanna respected Barris from the first. [NOTE: In the AU she’s in, pretty much all of my DAI OCs are together. She’s not the Inquisitor, she’s an Inquisition agent and representative of the Ostwick Trevelyan’s interests. She’s part of the delegation sent to the Templars while others go to the mages because I personally think that you should be able to at least try to reach out to both.] When she met him in the middle of all the chaos with the demon, she thought his leadership was impressive. They worked together more once the Inquisition was at Skyhold, and the crush was kind of a slow build. She was wary about getting into a real relationship, considering that her last one left her pregnant and widowed, but she really started to care about him.

Jaina ShepardRealizing that she had feelings for a Turian was less weird for Jaina than realizing that she had feelings for her best friend. It partly seemed like it came out of nowhere, and partly seemed like the most natural thing in the galaxy. Once she was able to wrap her head around that, and considering that they were barreling towards a suicide mission, she just decided to go for it. Hence the “reach and flexibility” conversation.

Cassie RyderCassie is a gigantic dork. She crushed on Jaal quickly, had a period of “what the fuck I shouldn’t get distracted, and he probably doesn’t find humans attractive, and even if he does like humans why would he like me,” then flirted awkwardly until he laughed and flirted back.

Percy Ryder Percy met Reyes post-Meridian. Cassie had already told him who Reyes was, and he was ready to put up a bunch of walls and not trust this dude. He usually didn’t go for smooth, bad boy types anyway; Percy’s type was usually guys who were just as focused and slightly nerdy as him, guys who were responsible and had legitimate jobs. So the crush was a surprise.

Suddenly gripped by the need to re-do Alanna's game.

She's a loyalist mage and doesn't like to meddle. But somehow, Brialla became the power behind Orlais' throne and Vivienne became divine. None of that makes sense. Just..none of it. So, round two here we come.

3 and 23 for Nymeria?

3. Any siblings/Only child?Nymeria has six siblings. Five older--Brigan, Alanna, Emory, Aisling, Reed--and one younger--Imry. She was the only mage, and was raised apart, but her family’s wealth and status (and Ostwick’s corruption) meant that she still saw them on occasion.

23. How big is their family?VERY. The Ostwick Trevelyans are a massive clan, and they have connections to major houses across Thedas. Brigan and Emory are both married, Brigan and Alanna both have children already (by DAI Emory is also expecting his first) and they also have many many aunts uncles and cousins. But because she was in the Circle, they were all somewhat distant to Nymeria

[autistic-red-jenny]

[autistic-red-jenny]

Hi! Can you make a list of your ocs? :)

I have a rough page of my DA ones here. It includes all of my main player characters from the games, though not all of the side characters and relatives I have for them. (According to my reference family tree... I have over 150 people listed, at least 100 of which I made up) 

I also have a Shepard and a pair of Ryders. 

If you want all of the characters I’ve actually developed... well, it’s a long list, so I’ll put it under a cut. (Most of them are on my Pinterest though)

Keira Cousland (who has a handful of daughters I’m working on figuring out)Tamsyn AmellAdrin SuranaFiya Tabris

Aliss Hawke (who also has four kids I’m writing about)Damon Hawke

(Inquisition is where I have a LOT so bear with me)

Plus my Pathfinder OC, Adrina

How tall are all your ocs?

Tamsyn Amell: 5′5″Fiya Tabris: 5′3″Adrin Surana: 5′8″Keira Cousland: 5′9″

[autistic-red-jenny]

23 for all/any of them

23. Did you tailor your OC for the other in the romance?

Yes and no. I usually start with a character, and then try to figure out who they’d be drawn to. Then I’ll tweak little things here and there to get the kind of narrative and dynamic I want.

I do have a handful of characters that I made with a few ideas about romance in mind, but for most of those it ended up changing because the character evolved and didn’t quite fit anymore. The ones that come to mind first would be Alanna Trevelyan (I don’t think she’s going to be with Blackwall anymore, but now that I’ve played the Templar questline, I think I like her with Barris) and Adrin Surana (I paired him with Morrigan, but now I’m rethinking the relationship on and off). None of the ones on tonight’s list, though.

Romance Asks

(Currently answering for Keira Cousland x Alistair, Aliss Hawke x Fenris, Lanyla Lavellan x Cullen, Nymeria Trevelyan x Iron Bull, Jaina Shepard x Garrus, Cassie Ryder x Jaal)

[autistic-red-jenny]

As an older sister, some of my favorite scenes to write are sibling relationship-relates Like the drabble where Alanna Trevelyan threatens Bull's life once she finds out her baby sister is with him. Which might be loosely based on something I may or may not have done with more than one of my sisters' boyfriends. Normally I'd say Bull is hard to beat, but Alanna is a deadly warrior AND has older-sister-rage on her side. At the very least it'd be close

[autistic-red-jenny]

Alanna Trevelyan seems like a very hard woman to those who don’t know her.

And in situations like combat, negotiations, etc, she is.

But she’s also such a team mom it’s ridiculous. She keeps a picture of her daughter in a locket and will brag about her and tell embarrassing stories at the drop of a hat.

She also takes it upon herself to check in on all of her companions and make sure they’re sleeping enough, have eaten recently, and if they need anything. She adjusts people’s clothes and hair, and has a perfect “Mom Voice”
