#guin tabris

[shutupaboutandraste]

i'm just picking these at random from your tags so if there's a question you'd rather answer for a different oc you can do that too !!! 7 for cousland; 15 for aeducan; 25 for surana; 39 for one (or multiple) of your hawkes; 52 for cadash; 63 for adaar; 74 for one (or both) of your tabrises; 89 for one (or both) of your lavellans; 92 for amell <3

AAAAAH Nonnie thank you for all of these!! It makes me so happy.

7. Are they in a romantic relationship? With who? How did they meet?

Isadora is in a relationship with Alistair! They met as you would expect when Duncan told Isadora to go find him at Ostagar. The rest was history...

15. What was something their parents taught them?

Endrin taught Tyr how to swordfight when he was very young, starting him on wooden swords. Tyr was a very dedicated student mainly because he wanted to spend time with his father who would regale Tyr with stories of his mother when he was in a good mood.

25. What is their biggest flaw?

"Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Soon that attitude may be your doom." - Nonstop (Hamilton)

Yeah, Michai Surana legit overestimates himself. Most of the time it pans out because he is very smart, but there are a number of people who he would underestimate that could outsmart him because of that. His got a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

39. What does their happily ever after look like?

For this one, I'll do Aingheal because she's very goal-oriented. My other Hawkes are more or less happy to live day to day, that's their happily ever after. Aingheal would like to see Bethany freed from the Circle, Merrill (her wife) safe and out of the eye of anyone who might suspect she's a blood mage, and what remains of her family alive and well perhaps with a secluded house somewhere where she can rest on her laurels as she pleases. The safety, though, is really the key.

52. What is their body type? Are they muscular, chubby, skinny, etc?

For a rogue, Shiva Cadash is pretty short, stocky and muscular. She's a strong climber, can wrestle fairly well if she's disarmed of her knives, and can lift things that she really has no business being able to lift. Her muscles aren't well defined, though as she doesn't put effort into toning.

63. What is always guaranteed to make them smile?

Asaara has a brother named Arug-- a himbo warrior who is actually my friend's Inquisitor (we have different timelines where each one becomes Inquisitor). Arug is not always the brightest, but his protectiveness of his sarebaas little brother always makes Asaara happy. Usually that or Arug doing something silly will make him smile.

74. What weather is their favorite? Do they like storms?

Lady and Guin are actually sisters, so I'll do them both!

Lady loves fall weather, she likes a good cool breeze and the pretty colors. And, yes, she does love storms. Even if there's thunder and lighting, she finds them calming.

Guin loves hot weather. She likes to swim and enjoys the heat on her skin. She doesn't like storms when they're happening, but she likes the smell of the world after it rains. However, when she was little, she liked jumping in puddles when it rained.

89. What is their D&D alignment?

This one is easy so I'll do them both.

Icarus is definitely neutral good-- he doesn't always think the laws are right but isn't about to open the cages in a zoo. He's very dedicated to doing the right thing, though.

Berryl is chaotic neutral. She leans chaotic good, but she'll usually default to neutral if someone is pissing her off and/or she wants to fuck with them. She operates on her terms and her terms alone.

92. Describe them as a John Mulaney gif.

This is the best question i have ever received. And I know just the one for Jacobi.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE. I love getting to talk about my characters and you picked such wonderful questions!!

[tokidokifish]

@stg-solus asked for even numbers for everyone i liked so i decided to do dragon age guin! ayyy. (also 3 for @zwierzodudle and awakenings companions for @wantedplantlife)

i don’t have any good pictures of elf!guin, but she’s a tabris.

2. How did Tabris handle being told of their arranged marriage?  and 3. How did Tabris react to meeting their betrothed?

guin didn’t deal with it like SUPER WELL. her parents (cyrion is her uncle) were actually an arranged marriage that ended up working out well, but guin didn’t have any interest in getting married period, let alone to a goddamn stranger. unfortunately there aren’t any conversation options that get across like “you seem like a nice enough dude but i’m super uncomfortable with this whole situation”, so her meeting with nelaros didn’t go well. (which is pretty in character for guin, tbh, who can be Hard To Deal With when she’s stressed.)

4. Did Tabris have any knowledge or ideas about the Dalish? Did they believe they were real, or a myth?

surprise surprise, dragon age guin is a giant nerd just like every other version of guin, and in every universe where she isn’t a warden she just fucking bounces from the alienage before she’s forced to get married and spends essentially the rest of her life in elven ruins and traveling between dalish clans collecting knowledge. buuut before she left the alienage, i doubt she knew much - she knew the dalish existed, because her aunt (zachary’s mother) had left to live with them, but that was about it. she envied them, because they weren’t trapped in the city, but i don’t think guin ever planned to join the dalish, because she always knew her place wasn’t necessarily with them anymore than it was in the city.

6. How did Tabris respond to Vaughn harassing the elven women? To he and his men crashing the wedding?

when push comes to shove and guinevere is facing a situation where she feels completely outmatched, she tends to get… real fuckin fighty. if shianni hadn’t hit vaughn first, guin probably probably would have fucking headbutted him.

8. Did Tabris kill Vaughn or accept his money? Why?

we killed them like dogs, shianni. (why do you THINK she did it?? come on.)

10. How did Tabris feel about returning to the alienage, and finding slavery?

NOT BEST FUCKIN PLEASED, i’ll tell you that much. which brings us neatly to…

how did guinevere feel about the awakening companions?

much like casrien, except EVEN MORE SO, guin clashed pretty hard with nate initially because she’s not gonna apologize for killing your dad when he was helping SELL HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY INTO SLAVERY, NATHANIEL. still, after he gets the fuck over himself a little i think they could be very good friends. they’re both tall brunettes that lean toward sarcasm, afterall.

guin has a perky stabby sidekick in her original universe so she’d get on with sigrun like a house on fire. velanna too, tho i imagine velanna would be slightly more standoffish with guin than she would be with casrien, as guinevere is a city elf. still, guin’s very obvious interest in dalish culture could help bridge the gap, probably.

guin… appreciates… having oghren’s… assistance. yeah. let’s… let’s just go with that.

i’m gonna be straight up, you guys, i actually find justice pretty boring and rarely have significant opinions about it, but guin would find it wildly interesting, because guin finds everything outside of her realm of knowledge interesting, and especially fade shit, because she’s preternaturally sensitive towards the fade. justice would probably like spending time around her because she feels vaguely like home.

annnnd thennnn there’s anders.

oh, who in the world would guinevere romance, i wondered!

oh, guinevere is so weirdly passionate about anders’s safety she follows him to kirkwall but that’s not weird or indicative of anything, i thought!

oh, the catalyzing action of guin cutting ties with weisshaupt would be when they tried to send a templar to keep an eye on anders but that’s a totally normal thing to do for your bro, i said!

fucking. idiot.
