more niche aus! more niche aus!

anyway, binging Vox Machina made me think about this idea i had a while ago, where Hawke was a goddess of death and somehow, her most devoted follower and champion was Goodest Boy(tm) Sebastian.

He became devoted to her after he pleaded for her aid; his oldest brother had fallen deathly ill, and knowing that as the youngest son his life was not worth as much as the heir’s, he offered to trade his life for his brother’s. Hawke found herself touched by this mortal’s willingness to sacrifice himself for his family, though she held umbrage with his idea that his life was inherently worthless. 

To prove him wrong, instead of taking his offered soul, she made him her Champion, and he has served her faithfully ever since.

other misc ideas:

Hawke was originally a mortal who ascended to godhood, but it’s been so long the details have been lost even to her. She’s fairly certain she had siblings. Twins, perhaps?

Sebastian originally followed a life/light god before vowing his service to Lady Hawke. He felt conflicted about it for a while, but he was always fascinated with Lady Hawke’s teachings, so he settled into his new role easily.

People are always shocked that someone with such a... wholesome and cheerful demeanor can follow the dour Lady Hawke so faithfully.

The other gods keep telling Hawke she can’t play favorites so brazenly. She keeps saying shut up and look at how amazing and handsome my Champion is.

Hawke is supposed to have a wicked cool mask shaped like a hawk’s skull but I couldn’t... draw that lmao. So just imagine it instead.

Other members of the Kirkwall crew are also gods.

Fenris: God of Wrath, the Patron of Slaves

Merrill: Goddess of Knowledge, the Lorekeeper

Aveline: Goddess of Order, the Lawbringer

Isabela: Goddess of Fortune, the Patroness of Thieves

Anders: God of Medicine, the Righteous Healer

Varric: God of the Arts, the Storyteller

They all have varying opinions on Hawke’s.... intense relationship with her champion.
