Andaran Atish’an.

I’m Afallach, I’m an autistic, trans and bisexual Welshman in my mid 20s, I’m a druid, and my wife introduced me to Dragon Age… so naturally, I’ve developed a hyperfixation.

DNI: TERFs, LORE PURISTS WHO CANT HANDLE ME BENDING THE RULES, MINORS

Also just don’t come in here and be a dick for no reason. I ain’t done shit to you, I’m just here to have a good time, play my silly game, draw my silly boys and write my silly fics / OC lore.

Please do not be horrible about my OCs - they are a part of me, a labour of creative love, and I will take it personally.

Ship whatever the fuck you like - I literally could not give less of a shit about whether you’re Solarook or Solavellan. I literally do not care. I’m sat over here with Elgar’nan. 🤷🏻‍♂️

On the subject of my tyrant fairy princess. I’d better not have to explain to anybody how just because I write evil characters that doesn’t equate to me being an evil person. So just to preface, let’s all exercise a bit of media literacy and say it slowly:

It is a fictional fantasy world. These are not real people.

If I say / do something that does not align with the EXACT canon, or your headcanons, remind yourself that those are YOUR headcanons, and that I’m using the canon as a little bricky foundation in order to whap out a gothic cathedral on top of it, because where OCs are concerned, I go big or go home.

I do not trigger tag. If there is potentially triggering content, I’ll put a CW at the top and then my content below a break.

Also grabbing plotholes and filling them in is one of my hobbies.

Anyway. Have my OCs - I’ll be adding as I go along.

Cerridion / Ithelan’ahn

Mournwatcher Mortalitasi Battlemage, Cerridion Ingellvar gets Blighted in the Blussy and his Elgar’nan vallaslin appears and gets darker on his face the closer he is to becoming an Evanuris. His evanuris name is Ithelan’ahn - The Thing that Watches. Spider coded freak.

You can read all my shit about him under #datv ithelan’ahn

Also!! I am very pro-RP and am down to RP as Cerridion/Ithelan’ahn - all you need to do is ask, although I will be checking ages.

Elgara’shan’s got some difficult personal demons.

There’s a reason the First Warden did everything in his power to stop Elgara’shan from getting too involved with everything and basically insisted a “HOME. NOW. BACK TO WEISSHAUPT THIS INSTANT.” after learning he was cavorting around Tevinter with Neve Gallus.

“Gods or no gods, you stop this nonsense and get BACK to your post!”

And it’s not for the reason Elgara’shan thinks. The First Warden’s heart is in his fucking mouth when he finds out his ‘son that never was’ is in TEVINTER. It’s not wholly because of the ‘discretion letter’. It’s because it’s better if Elgara’shan doesn’t know his parentage, because the circumstances of his background are absolutely foul.

Nonetheless, Elgara’shan has these dreams that he belongs in the Archon’s palace, and dreams about being a powerful Tevinter noble, because he has latent magic, right? He never knew his father, right? There’s a mystery there that both he and Neve are trying to solve. He embraces Tevinter, and pushes away from the First Warden and Weisshaupt, completely oblivious.

The First Warden, internally, cannot bear to see those dreams shattered by the horrible truth.

The truth that he was born of a Tevinter Magister and an elven slave. That his background isn’t as romantic as he dreams it could be. That, no matter how much he learns to conduct himself like a noble, he will never be one of them.

Elgara’shan’s chasing a false dream of a noble magister father, and pushing away the only man who stood up and took actual care of him as a child, even if the First Warden was inexperienced with parenthood and didn’t do the best job of it.

Should he acknowledge his bleak past and accept that his biological father is his ‘real’ father and deserves to be brought to justice, or should he acknowledge how much the First Warden actually loves him and accept the man who took care of him as his ‘real’ father, abandoning his dreams of Tevinter?

His heart yearns to solve the mystery of Tevinter. But the First Warden held him, cherished him in his own way, and sang him to sleep as a child.

Is he a Grey Warden (“Someone holds me safe and warm, horses prance through a silver storm”) or is he a Royal Bastard (“figures dancing gracefully across my memory”)?

Does he belong in Tevinter (“Dancing Bears Snakes”), or in Weisshaupt (“Painted Wings”)?

It’s all lingering beyond his reach, on the edge of his mangled memories, at a fork in the road.

“Far away, long ago,

Glowing dim as an ember;

Things my heart used to know,

things it yearns to remember…

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December…”

Lmao u know when you slide down surfaces in datv

Long leggy Elgara’shan on the slip and slide, stands up at the bottom like “oh yippee I didn’t die”

And then his muscular archer dwarf wife Lace Harding comes barrelling down the same slope, goes through his legs like a ball through a croquet hoop, smacks his crotch with the top of her head and he fuckin eats the ground
