Dragon Age Keep tiles for Jowan:

Circle - Warden - Levyn

[queen-scribbles]

for your inquisitor!

Why were they at the Conclave? Were they trying to achieve something there? Did they go alone or were they accompanied?

4. Was there anything in their life they were looking forwards to doing once the Conclave was done?

7. What are their first thoughts upon seeing the Breach?

Got some for Tighe, so going with Levyn this time

1.Levyn was there out of curiosity. He was actually an apostate lying low in one of the villages along the way up to Haven, and when a Circle entourage passed through, he attached himself to go see what all the fuss was about(lmao). (The Actual Levyn Trevelyan is part of this delegation, and it starts as mistaken identity post-explosion that sort of snowballs into everyone thinking he's from a noble family instead of a nobody)

4. Living a nice, quiet, thoroughly boring life in his home village. He's ben running and scared for so long, and the templars never come into the mountains, he's safe here, this is a good spot even if he's always freezing.

7. "They think I did that?! How?!?!?" bc it's massive and he doesn't see how any one person could be responsible and there's no connection aside from his hand glowing the same green- How do they know the Breach was his doing instead of it being, like, the breach opening gave him a wound of some kind that's infected with magic. (then immediately realizing how silly that sounds.

thinking abt a romanced morrigan with Kieran and a warden who dies who DOES have family and seeking them out. just once.

thinking about rica holding Kieran and marveling that he has brosca’s eyes. thinking about soris, shianni, and cyrion gathering around and cyrion telling them that tabris used to scrunch up her face the same way. thinking about the hawkes looking down at this family from someone they’ve never met, and Leandra mentioning he looks just like her cousin. of bhelen looking at his nephew from the sibling that forgave him and gave him the throne, and declaring him a part of the line of aeducan. thinking of fergus holding him and weeping that he was just a little bit too late, and telling morrigan that she is always welcome. thinking of her going just once to sundermount, of merrill holding him and crying over both mahariel and tamlen, both at once. thinking about her tracking down “levyn” and them both lamenting in their own way about surana rejecting unconventional magic.

thinking about her leaving and never seeing them again, but they all know that she and Kieran are out there, and they hope.

worldstate questionaire by @fromthedaswithlove

part 4: the herald of andraste, jowan levyn keyes

Who did your protagonist romance and why? Do they have secondary choices?

jowan romanced dorian. when i started it was mostly process of elimination + i knew i'd never play a man again, but they quickly captured my heart as soon as i started thinking about it. ceo of the inferiority complex x the guy who invented time travel? but then dorian finds inspiration in HIM???? both lifting each other to greater heights??? chef's kiss

also their dynamic is so funny i love dorijowan to bits

Do they have any regrets?

lily. betraying talya's trust. taking loghain's offer to poison eamon. killing isolde even though he knows it was their only option. LILY. he literally feels guilt for breathing and not being tranquil because eiluned wasn't able to escape it. also, have i mentioned lily yet? and these are all things that happen before inquisition

Do they have a family?

jowan hasn't spoken to his family, if they even survived the blight. it's fine. he doesn't care anymore (and unlike talya he actually believes this. although he is still haunted by the fear of becoming his mother.)

Do they have a preferred weapon? Preferred armor set?

not really :( the customizability of dai gear was nice for gameplay but it also made it so it didn't rly have an identity. shoutouts to how cunty mage gear is in this game though. diva. i like putting him in green.

Do they have a preferred skill that they use often? (example: spells from the spirit tree in Inquisition)

throwing rocks at people feels so good for a jowan

What is their Specialization? Is there a reason they chose it?

rift mage. i hc that jowan is a decently capable mage, but he really struggles with academia (adhd</3) so he chose the school of magic that was more about tapping into the powers of the anchor that he could already feel.

What was your Inquisitor doing at the Conclave?

he was working with the rebel mages, and basically just came along because he was asked. there was also a piece of him that really wanted to be a part of history for doing something good, for once.

How does your Inquisitor deal with being called the ‘Herald of Andraste’?

POORLY. i wrote about this once so here's a snippet of that. might get turned into an actual piece one day

“Let me ask you something. Do you really believe you’re the Herald of Andraste?” “Do you believe I am?” He fires the question back at Leliana, hunched over in his chair. He can’t meet her eyes. “Very funny. Answer the question.” Her presence looms, looms, always looms. The spymaster frightens him. He thinks she would frighten him even if his past wasn’t in her hands. He suppresses a scoff. It’s not a good idea to anger her, he's sure. “Andraste wouldn’t choose me.”  “What if she would? What then?” “You’ve heard what they all say. Andraste’s chosen, a mage?” He rubs the bridge of his nose in exasperation. “So, what if they knew…” “That’s enough. I asked for your own thoughts, not the Chantry's.” “That’s still my answer, spymaster. I’m not anybody’s Herald, and certainly not Andraste’s.” 

his thoughts never really evolve past this, even though publicly, he starts to accept that people need a symbol to rally behind.

How does your Inquisitor feel about the Anchor?

he tries not to think about it beyond the power it gives him and the responsibility it forced him into. it's just a tool, and it's an unfortunate accident that gave him it.

Does your Inquisitor declare the Inquisition for? Order? Justice? For the Inquisitor?

for mages - "with fear running rampant, people need to see a mage standing up for what's right."

Who does your Inquisitor align themselves with (mage or templars)?

mages. he's scared shitless about going into redcliffe, but he knows the other option is abandoning them, and he refuses to do that. it's his first real act of bravery as inquisitor.

Who does your Inquisitor sacrifice during Here Lies the Abyss? How do they deal with it?

answered here

Does your Inquisitor allow the Grey Wardens to rebuild or are they exiled?

answered here as well

Would your Inquisitor play Wicked Grace?

yes but he's really bad at it. wicked grace is a hateful game that punishes people who wear their sensitive heart on their sleeve

How does your Inquisitor feel about their companions?

cassandra: sooo scared of her at first, and he always keeps her at arm's length even after recognizing she's not a threat to him. cassandra being a seeker has him constantly on edge. still, she's an important ally to him. she just never becomes anything more.

solas: jowan really liked solas, actually, but he's taking the reason to his grave: he reminded him of talya. jowan approached solas with open-mindedness and curiosity, so solas responded by being levelheaded and open.

varric: didn't think much about him beyond 'he's fun:)' until witnessing his argument with cassandra over hawke. then, he understood everything. especially because in the same conversation, he learns the hero of ferelden was her first option...

anyways, they're close.

sera: that's oomf, he adores her (there's a full question about her below)

vivienne: he's so scared of her. not because i think vivienne is inherently terrifying, but she's a higher up in the system of the circles. what if she knew irving? what if she manages to connect the dots? what if-

anyways that doesn't happen but they never become actual friends. he respects her a lot, though. conversations with her help him understand the views of circle-loyal mages. he really admires how she's managed to climb the ranks and make such a name for herself. vivienne is brilliant, and jowan knows and respects this, at the very least.

blackwall: jowan respects the wardens, so he respects blackwall from the start. it's about as simple as that. (further notes on their relationship are in a later answer)

the iron bull: he isn't nearly observant enough to pick up on how bull changes his personas to fit whoever he's talking to. he gets along with him well, but realizes some time after the inquisition disbands... he's not sure if he knew much about the man at all

dorian: Dorijowan...

fascination. admiration. so much envy it kind of makes him sick. when he first meets dorian, jowan is in awe of him. frankly he's kind of obsessed with him but he's trying to be so normal about it. when he finds out dorian sees things to admire in him, he's so scared.

if you get me started on dorijowan i'll just keep going (And I Will One Day) but those are the basics, i think

cole: curious about cole, but also terrified of him (gee are you starting to pick up a pattern. jowan's like a traumatized shelter dog) because cole can dig into his deepest thoughts.

cole sees so much pain at jowan's core, but every time he tries to help, jowan just recoils and gets even more anxious. why?

extras for advisors

leliana: leliana is singlehandedly the only reason why jowan's false identity isn't uncovered. she muddies the waters for him. he's grateful to her for this, but there's also a lot of tension between them - he feels leliana resents having to do this. regardless, he ends up making her divine.

cullen: jowan is in a terrifying position with cullen and he's aware of none of it. they get along frighteningly well, and jowan pushes him to be the best person he can be, but there's a barrier between them. cullen doesn't recognize him - he's got too much shit going on to even consider the idea that jowan might be alive and here. (all brunette white men also look the same.)

josephine: excuse me the inquisitor asked for NO pickles. josephine is the advisor jowan is by far the most relaxed around. he had a bit of a puppy crush on her at the start, but didn't pursue it because he felt she was too good for him. oh, jowan.

bonus: the gang's opinions on jowan's cover story

How does your Inquisitor feel about Cole becoming more spirit? More human?

he makes cole more human. he agrees with varric, and it also helps him come to terms with his own regrets, too.

Does your Inquisitor have Iron Bull save the Chargers or the Dreadnought?

save the chargers. he's far too sentimental to make such a cold, pragmatic decision

How does your Inquisitor feel about Blackwall’s reveal?

OH BOY. jowan deeply, DEEPLY respects blackwall for his decision. there's a lot of parallels between the two and jowan instantly recognizes this when the truth comes out.

they're both two men who did something terrible and are now living a lie under a false identity because of it. jowan and thom are both asked the question: what do you do with your life if the answer for your crimes is death?

blackwall answered by doing the best he could until the moment that his death could save more people, and jowan thinks he is so incredibly brave for it.

How does your Inquisitor feel about Dorian’s reveal?

i think it can be explained pretty well with romanced inquisitor's actual words: "i don't think less of you. more, if possible." he respects the hell out of dorian for giving up on his comfortable life and refusing to live a lie.

How does your Inquisitor feel about Sera? 

they're best friends!! one of the biggest things jowan struggles with as inquisitor is being reduced to a figurehead, and how even the people closest to him still treat him like The Herald Of Andraste. sera doesn't do this, and he loves her for it. she also brought out a mischevious side in him he'd abandoned when he escaped from the circle.

Did your Inquisitor allow Morrigan to drink from the Well? Did they drink themselves?

he let morrigan drink from the well. he had no real desire to. he wasn't built for this. he checked in with dorian first, but he basically went 'i, as a tevinter altus, am NOT consuming elven history' (canon interaction and i respect the fuck out of him for that)

Get your Inquisitor out of the pajamas! What is their casual wear around Skyhold?

this one!! ok mr levyn i saw your chanel boots

Get your Inquisitor dressed for Halamshiral! What would their attire look like during Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts?

don't see it changing much more than the modded recolor i put him in. so sorry y'all. (also this interaction was so funny with jowan context holy shit morrigan im in love with you)

Does Celene survive the assassination attempt?

no, and he feels horrible about it. all it took was a few moments too long of hesitation, and it was over.

Who rules Orlais?

gaspard, with briala behind him.

How did your Inquisitor feel about the Temple of Mythal and the ancient elves?

it really shakes him. jowan has taken his andrastian beliefs as granted for so long, learning that the dalish stories might have more truth to them is. harrowing. after this point, he's not sure what he believes anymore. in fact, he gets accused by sera that he's being "too elfy" about it all.

Did your Inquisitor seek the Right of Petitioners by completing the temple’s trials?

yes.

How did your Inquisitor judge? Recruiting? Hanged? Merciful?

generally merciful, recruited alexius.

Who is your Divine? Why did your Inquisitor choose to support them?

softened leliana. her vision of the world and what the chantry could be speaks to him, and there's obviously a personal touch there to leliana wanting to free the mages. also, leliana is talya's old friend! that must mean something!

talya: no i do not want to talk to divine victoria. i hate her so much

jowan: (very softly) what the fuck

How does your Inquisitor feel about Ameridan?

i haven't played jaws of hakkon:(

How does your Inquisitor react to dying to the Anchor?

this is where i finally reveal i still haven't played tresspasser. i'm SORRY

Does the Inquisition remain active or are they disbanded?

disbanded. he's been begging for the sweet release of the title for 2 years he wants OUTTTTT

Does your Inquisitor set out to redeem Solas or stop him at all costs?

redeem him. nero thinks he's a little bitch for this

How does your Inquisitor deal with the Dread Wolf reveal?

once again will come back to this when i play tresspasser someday. omfg these last few answers are so boring i'm so sorry

What does your Inquisitor get up to in the years between Trespasser and Veilguard?

I DON'T KNOWWWWW IM SORRYYYYY

What does their life look like after the events of Veilguard?

nero made dorian archon. that changes both of their lives so drastically i'm still not sure where to go from there.

[crossdressingdeath]

Refugee: Don't be scaring good Master Levyn. He's saved us three times over! Asterius: Stay your current course, "Levyn." Redemption suits you. Jowan: Th-thank you, Warden. I will. I swear to you.

I love this quest, thank you for mods that get it working. It's so cute with Surana/Amell, seeing their friend doing well in his new life and him swearing to them that he intends to keep doing good with this second chance they've given him... I just wish there was a way to access it that didn't involve straight up chasing Jowan away from Redcliffe as soon as you find him there. Let me tell Eamon to his face that he'll execute my best friend (or give him to the Templars) over my dead body.

Also: I think the fact that Aster very obviously has blood magic active during this conversation really adds something to the whole thing. Jowan just watching the blood dripping from Aster's arm like "I'm just not going to acknowledge that."

[astor-and-the-endless-ink]

Character Profile: Kairo Rayos

Full Name: Kairo Xavier Rayos

Nickname: Kai

Age: 17

Pronouns: He/him

MBTI: ENTP-T

Personality Description: He's really deadpan and sarcastic, and enjoys irony and coincidences a bit too much. He's easily annoyed but slow to show it, cares a lot about the people he loves and couldn't care less about anyone else, and is deeply religious and will happily debate about it with anyone who dares to give him a chance. (He's this world's equivalent of a Christian). He's also incredibly depressed, and will make extremely dark and depressing jokes.

Backstory: The son of an immortal (a descendant of the creator god, Solaios) and the grandson of a Ghostspeaker (a prophet of the minor gods, the Stellai Ghosts), his life has always been controversial. His father and uncle, Levyn and Oriyn Rayos, were banished from Zephan City to the abandoned and dangerous Blanklands as part of a deal they made with the current Ghostspeaker: they would leave and never come back to quell the Ghosts' rebellion, as long as Kai and the rest of his family could remain safe in the city.

Kai has always resented his dad for that, because he'd rather be in prison for being immortal and be left alone than be bullied for it day in and day out. The bullying, name-calling, and muttered wishes for his death eventually caused him to believe that maybe they were right; maybe it would be better if he were dead. If he did die, he would go to the afterlife that all followers of Solaios were heir to on death, and there would be no one that hated him for being immortal there.

But that's the problem - he is immortal, and thus can't die.

His family has since sent him to several different therapists, most of which hated him just as much as every other Stellaist citizen of Zephan City, but the day after his first almost-helpful appointment with a suspiciously encouraging therapist, Kai sees a news headline on TV:

IMMORTAL FOUND DEAD IN BLANKLANDS: CAUSE OF DEATH MURDER

This prompts him to venture into the Blanklands, looking for this murderer with the mysterious power to kill immortals.

Likes: Music, poetry, doodling, soft and dark colors, especially blue

Dislikes/Triggers: The Ghosts/Ghostspeaker, his immortality, talk about his dad

Relationships (By the End of the Story):

Levyn Rayos - Father

Joya Rayos - Mother

Evara Rayos - Sister

Sterling Pierce - Friend

Valentine Lucen - Girlfriend

Theme Song: Eternal Life by Palaye Royale

[queen-scribbles]

Contemplating using the whole "nothing matters (except in your heart :) )" thing for Veilguard to monkey with my tertiary canon (the Trinne as Warden and Inquisitor!Jowan Levyn one) and slot Sigi in as Hawke bc if there's not an official import to worry about, I can say Stroud was the Warden contact and thus the one to stay in the Fade. >:D

Currently Alistair is the Warden contact for that canon and I can't have Jowan leaving his best friend's husband in the Fade, BUT ALSO don't wanna leave a Fenris-mancer Hawke. :))) buuuuuuut if that choice doesn't matter I will bend canon to my will in that regard. 👍

[queen-scribbles]

Soooo the ones I've figured out:

Tighe is Snowflake bc ice mage

Levyn is Scribbles bc he's always writing/doodling in his journal

Kaavi is Spike for the spiky bands wrapped around her horns

Quick!! Reblog this with a picture of your Inquisitor and the nickname Varric gives them! (I'm honestly so curious!!)

[sky-fire-forever]

oooo for Cole & Anders this week: “it wasn’t supposed to go this far.”

happy writing!

-inquisimer

Thank you so much for this prompt! I had a lot of fun with it. For @dadrunkwriting

While not featured directly, my Hawke in this one is Scorpius, who uses they/them pronouns.

It’s cold in Skyhold, which Anders supposes he should have expected. It’s a giant fortress in the mountains, after all, it’s bound to be cold. That doesn’t mean Anders has to like it. 

He isn't even supposed to be here. Hawke had specifically told him that they were doing this alone, that Anders needed to stay put and stay safe. But Anders has never been great at doing what he's told and he's even worse at sitting back and doing nothing while huge things go on around him.

Hawke needs him, if they're willing to admit it or not. 

“Maker's breath,” Anders sits with the rebel mages, breathing warmth onto his chilled hands. “It's freezing.”

One of the mages beside him laughs bitterly. “Tell me about it,” he says. 

Anders rises to his feet. “I think I'm going to take a walk,” he says. “Explore the new place.”

The mage raises an eyebrow. “Do you want company?”

“No, no. I'll be alright on my own.” He waves him off. “You can stay here, Levyn.”

Levyn nods. “Alright. Just come back in one piece.”

Anders smiles. “No promises.” He walks off.

Anders like Levyn. He's the first person Anders has been able to get close to in a long time. They'd run into each other on the road to Skyhold and decided to travel together. As much as Anders loves Hawke and Fenris, it's been nice to be around someone else for a change.

“Feeling freeing friendship. I like Levyn. He's like me. He doesn't know the real me, but he makes me smile. It's nice to not be alone.” 

Anders spins around at the sound of a voice, raising his staff. “Who goes there?” 

“No one.” A young man stands before Anders, with shaggy blond hair and an oversized hat. “I don't mean any harm. You're happy. That's good.”

Anders narrows his eyes as something inside of him bristles at the presence of this man. Man? No, there's something more there. Something different that Justice can sense. This isn't an ordinary man. 

“Declare yourself, spirit,” Anders demands, brandishing his staff at the creature. 

The spirit tilts its head. “Now you're worried. I didn't mean to upset you. Here, I'll make you forget and I'll try again.”

Something washes over Anders and for a moment, he's confused. Then, he feels the familiar warmth of Justice beneath his skin and the sensation passes. 

The creature stares at Anders, looking confused. “You won't forget.” There's bewilderment in its tone. 

Anders steps forward. “Your tricks won't work on me, demon.”

“I'm not a demon.”

“What are you then?”

“Solas calls me spirit. Varric calls me kid.”

Varric. The one who called Hawke here, who Anders hasn't seen in years. Not since Anders destroyed the chantry and Kirkwall along with it.

Guilt pools in his chest at just the thought of his old friend. At what he did to him, everything he took away. It needed to be done, but that doesn't relieve Anders of the guilt. 

“Choices had to be made and you had to be the one to make them. Friends are fleeting, just like a sense of home. You never wanted to hurt anyone, but too many were already hurting.”

“Stop that,” Anders snaps. “Get out of my head.” 

“I want to help.” The spirit takes a step closer. “Let me help.”

Anders grits his teeth. “I've had enough help from spirits, thank you.”

The spirit tilts its head, staring intently at Anders. “Justice was your friend, now it scares you.”

“I said get out of my head.” Anders doesn't like the way this kid– spirit– thing makes him feel: like he's misjudged a step and lost his balance. 

“But–”

“Are you bothering people again, kid?” A familiar voice calls out from not too far away. 

Varric. Shit. Anders can't begin to describe the myriad of emotions that pass through him at the sound of his old friend's voice, still distinct and familiar despite the time that has passed.

The spirit looks at Anders and then looks over his shoulder before turning his gaze back to Anders. “If you don't want to see him, I can help.” He extends a hand. 

Anders, in his panic, accepts it. 

The spirit leads Anders through the crowd as though they're invisible, darting between people without pause until they're far enough away that Varric won't catch them.  

Anders takes a breath of air, trying to will his frantic heart to stop beating so loudly in his ears. “Thank you,” he says. 

“Why are you avoiding Varric?” The spirit asks. 

Anders studies the spirit. It seems harmless enough, but the same could have been said of Justice many years ago. “He's upset with me.”

“Because of what you did?”

“Yes.”

“Guilt. Regret. Remorse. A lot of people died because of what you did, but you didn't know another way out. It hurts to think about.”

“I–” Anders swallows. “It wasn't supposed to go this far. I just wanted– but everyone blames me.” 

It hurts, being the scapegoat for an entire war. Yes, he felt that the war was necessary, but it wasn't supposed to happen like this. Templars and mages killing each other without caring about the civilians caught in the crossfire, the rebel mages taken hostage by something more dangerous than themselves, all of it is so much bigger than Anders ever could have predicted. 

He didn't want this, but this is the path he chose. 

“You think Varric hates you.” The spirit pauses. “You think the Hawke hates you too.”

Anders looks away.

“Fear. Burning bright like fire inside you. Hawke must hate you like you hate yourself, it's easy to hate you.”

Anders doesn't much care for hearing his thoughts verbalized by a spirit, so he raises his hand. “Don't,” he requests. “Please.”

The spirit opens its mouth, but then shuts it again. 

“Where's Hawke?” Anders asks the only question he cares to know the answer to. 

The spirit fidgets with its fingers. “The Hawke is gone.”

näin keität spagettia:

laita random määrä vettä ja suolaa kattilaan ja kattilla liedelle

laita liesi päälle

odottele 10 min ja tajua että laitoit väärän levyn päälle. korjaa tämä

kun vesi kiehuu, ota sopivan näköinen määrä spagettia ja laita kattilaan

älä missää nimessä mittaa mitään, kyllä sä osaat arvioida

tajua että kattilassa on niin vähän spagettia että se hädin tuskin riittäisi pikkulapselle, joten laita lisää spagettia kattilaan

unohda että keittoaika on asia johon pitäisi kiinnittää huomiota, joten seisot koko toimituksen ajan välillä maistellen raakaa spagettia kattilasta

kun spagetti on valmista, poista siivilällä vesi, ja laita spagetti takas kattilaan

tajua että sulla on nyt niin saatanasti spagettia että voisit ruokkia kuuden hengen perheen

lisää vähän voita tai öljyä spagetin sekaan ja sekoita että ei klimppiinny

syöt niin helvetisti spagettia

[willowmoon239]

You know what some of us including me are worried about? Patton, Samantha, Meama Isaabelle Kalka, Puppa Calix Kalka, Grandpa Levyn, Stacy, Hannah, Dylan and John and everyone else who knew Addie would start to hate him after they find out that he was a demon, and I bet everyone from both Patton’s side and Samantha who hate him from being adopted (other than Patton’s mum) would hate him even more for that too and I’m sure that everyone in Daisyville would force Patton and Samantha and Addie into exile or kill them or call D.H.O.R.K.S and capture Addie and kill him! Please tell that won’t happen later on in the near future!

I can’t bear to see Addie get hurt by humans, if they did try and hurt him, I will protect him with all my heart!

I don’t know where you got the misunderstanding but, Samantha never hated Addie. She loves him with all her heart. It’s only Payton’s mother that hates Addie.

Also, I think you are assuming things a little too soon. Addie has been kind and helpful to his family and friends. It would take a little more than that to make them turned their backs on him.

Besides, they won’t find out right away. Addie will obviously do all he can to keep that part of him a secret.
