#and dorian is very fond of hal in any universe

[thedancingdragonling]

i like questions about my dragon age ocs but with inquisition and origins, it’s particularly interesting to think about because while i have my ‘main’ inquisitor, the others (particularly the other trevelyans, like max or esme who are both hal’s older siblings) still play a role in every canon. i like to do the same with my wardens, ie: my main is amell but the other origins all survive (except mahariel but he also dies when he’s the canon warden rip to him) and join the wardens eventually. so i can come up with answers for them as the main character but also as side characters, and there’s a real difference in their journeys! hal’s a mage so his plight is evidently influenced by his siblings’ decisions if they’re the inquisitors. max sides with the templars? hal dies. esme sides with the mages but they’re shackled to the inquisition? he runs away and only come back in trespasser.

Pastime: 

Food: Edible.

Drink: What won’t kill him, though he’s learned to be cautious about what Bull gives him too.

Scared easily: Not usually but he’s REALLY not fond of anything with scales and larger than his hand.

Jealous easily: Not really, it flares up occasionally if he’s feeling very stressed but he’s usually very relaxed.

Trustworthy: Yes, unless you ask about his personal history or his family in which case he is probably lying to you unless you are one of the handful of people he likes and trusts.

FAMILY

Siblings

Taralyn Lavellan – Hal’s twin brother, First to Clan Lavellan

Siona Lavellan – Younger sister, Clan Lavellan’s second.

Parents: Deceased. Neither he nor Taralyn talk about them much, Siona was too young to remember them well.

Partner: The Iron Bull

Children: Doesn’t plan on having any either, as he doubts he or Bull would ever want a quieter life and the ones they lead now aren’t good for raising kids. Everyone else expects them to end up with an adopted child by accident at some point.

Burns: A few small, hidden ones from when she was younger, and a big one on her left leg from the Hinterlands Dragon.

Overweight:

Underweight:  Sometimes forgets to eat as much as someone burning as many calories as she does should. Cullen and Josie become very adept at quietly feeding the Inquisitor during War Room meetings. Varric or Dorian get the job of fussing when in the field.

FAVOURITE

Color: Blues.

Entertainment: Magical combat practice (but not against Dorian because he cheats with sneaky Tevinter magic and it’s ridiculous his clothes stay so clean), dancing, Chess, horseback riding

ARE THEY

A virgin: Nope.

A kisser: In private.

A smoker:  No

Scared easily:  Not in the traditional sense, putting those she cares about in danger is definitely an easy way to do it.

Dominant: In everyday life she takes to her role as a leader well.

Submissive: Cullen takes the lead in the bedroom.
