Finally got my laptop upgraded to an actual PC, so I'm diving into the adventure of Dragon Age Veilguard! I've been waiting for so long, finallyyyyy

Did a quick sketch of my Rook, Hissera to pass time before the upgrade

LOOK AT MY BABYGIIIIIIRL

[headachecat]

Thought I’d share this freaking stunning pic of my Rook today. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

A sketch I did for @songofamazon's Quiz-Quisition

1: Who is your Inquisitor? Give us a basic bio of who they were before they became Inquisitor and any key choices they made during the Inquisition.

(answer under the cut, and I guess DAI fic spoilers...even though that won't be for a while)

Hissera was only eighteen years old when she rose to fame (Well, about nineteen when she became The Inquisitor, but details, details).

She had a life before that, though. She came from quite humble beginnings, in fact. She's from a little village in the general vicinity of Starkhaven. You can tell as soon as you hear her accent. It's a little village where a group of Tal-Vashoth settled together to watch eachother's backs. She and her stepbrother are some of the first generation of children to actually be born there.

Speaking of family, the sketch features her family. From left to right:

Tamassran "Tama": Her biological mother. She left Par Vollen while she was still pregnant with Hissera. She kept her name from when she lived under the Qun and...honestly sometimes isn't 100% certain of her decision.

Irene: Hissera's stepmother. She was born in Kont-aar to Viddethari elves. She's a mage, so got the standard Saarebas treatment...until she stabbed her Arvaarad and ran off for Darismuid. By the time she had met Tama, she had a toddler, who became Hissera's stepbrother.

Revesan "Taashi": Hissera's stepbrother. He's a year or two older than her. Both he and Hissera are the town troublemakers. Their given names, Hissera and Revesan, mean "Hope" and "Freedom." But they earned the names "Adaar" and "Taashi" ... The fireball and the dragon. He's a farmhand, but does end up working with Dennett once his sister becomes the Inquisitor. Keeping an eye on her to either be a support system...or be in the front row when things blow up tae fuck.

She started doing mercenary work at like sixteen. It was small time stuff. Half the time, it was just guarding trade wagons from bandits who would get scared off just by nature of a couple qunari being on the lookout. She wasn't doing really dangerous stuff until around the start of Inquisition. She really thought she was just going to work security at the Conclave...though she did also hope that things would work out in favor of the mages.

As far as her choices during Inquisition...Hissera tends to relate more closely with the "common folk". She and Sera hit it off right away (and I'll be real, they speak really similarly. They just understand eachother) She sympathizes with mages, and while she never experienced the circle, it's not like Qunari mages are...much better off. She was pretty in over her head most of the time, so she trusted her gut and her friends a lot. Major story decisions...see the template

(Mages recruited as allies, Hawke left in the fade, Wardens recruited, Briala rules through Gaspard, Inquisitor drank from the well)

Additionally, Hissera never claimed to be the Herald of Andraste.

ANYONE NEED A HAND?

found a cute picrew! :]

doing the important things

[leliwardens]

sorry. was spinning my inquisitor and leliana's dynamic in my head and landed on "do you think she felt Some Kind Of Way dealing with a prisoner locked in a dungeon for a crime they didn't commit." i feel ill.

[awesomecopper]

Curious as to what headcanons people have for Adaar's parents. Adaar's codex entry states that their parents fled the Qun before they were born, going on to raise Adaar together in the Free Marches.

Since my Adaar is a mage, I like to think she inherited her magical ability from one of her parents, which means that parent (her father in my headcanon) was a Saarebas. I like the idea of her mom being a baker. Sten and Bull both enjoy sweets and by Sten's dialogue we know that Seheron (and presumably Par Vollen as well) doesn't have cookies and other sweet things. Since bakers in the Qun seemingly don't bake frivolous things, I just think it would be cute if Adaar's mom got to open a small shop that sells various baked goods after she and Adaar's father flee to the Free Marches.

I'm bringing him back. I'm going to play Dragon Age Inquisition, and I'm going to bring my best boy back.

[dasstanzydraws]

Aaaaand it's Hissera!

3/3 Dragon Age OC references done! With this, I've also got down the main protagonists of all three Dragon Age games. My obligatory plug for my ongoing Dragon Age fic project: I'm currently working on an adaption of Dragon Age: Origins on Ao3 and I eventually plan to do the same for Dragon Age 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Also "Adaar" is in quotes because I treat it a little more like a nickname than her surname. Since she likes fire magic and all.

Quiz-Quisition question 4!

4. Tell us about your Inquisitor's family. What does family mean to them?

Family's pretty central to Hissera. She grew up with a strong family unit and a strong community, and she values the support system that they gave her. Once she gets to the Inquisition, the inner circle becomes a sort of found family to her.

I already introduced Tama, Irene, and Taashi in question 1 so I'll go a little deeper into her relationship with them.

Tama loves Hissera. More than anything. She went Tal-Vashoth for her daughter. But they butt heads a little sometimes. Tama is used to the order and predictability of the Qun, and Hissera is chaotic and unpredictable. Their relationship is ultimately good but they just have completely opposite personalities. Still, Tama never blamed Hissera for any doubts or difficulties that she faced after leaving the Qun.

Irene and Hissera have a unique bond since they're both mages. Irene picked up some Rivaini techniques after she escaped her arvaarad, and she passed those along to Hissera. She was technically not an apostate too, since Irene spent some time at the Darsmuid circle. That circle was just really generous in allowing mages to yknow...have freedom. Irene died during the rebellion because she happened to be visiting Darsmuid to visit colleagues when the circle was annulled.

Taashi is a couple years older than Hissera, but since he's so much shorter than her people outside of their community tend to assume he's the younger brother. Nope. He's just short. They bicker and roughhouse a LOT, even as adults. Before he learned the name of the Inquisitor, he figured out it was his sister who had gotten herself into this situation. He ended up joining the Inquisition, not in a combat role but as a stablehand for Dennet. He's a good guy, but has a little bit of a temper (thus the nickname). Blackwall has absolutely come back to the barn from the Herald's Rest to see Hissera pinning Taashi down for getting on her nerves.

All together, this family only exists because two people in impossible situations found eachother, fell in love, and decided to support eachother as they move towards the future.
