A real quick doodle dump before i get into my proper response

Next--

Novhen wouldn't write anything about not being able to tell the alienage what happened. He trusts his family's judgment to know what is and isn't wise to say. The Tabrises can share their bittersweet celebration with anyone they want

I think you might be right that Astala sees them as a team while Novhen feels like he's the only one who can "properly" take on the role of protector. It's sad, but it does feel fitting, especially in the fallout of that one ficlet you shared in DMs. There's an extra twist in that Astala is better at DW than him, even if it's a different style of DW than the one passed down Adaia's line. Like i mentioned also in the DMs (sorry to the Plant trying to follow along), the fighting style is primarily dual wielding, even if it can technically also account for archery. See: Fang of Fen'Harel. Novhen always lagged behind in DW and may be a little resentful about that. Whether they both got to live peacefully in Denerim for all their days or take the Taint into their bodies, they'd work so much better as a team, but he's not able to realize that til after they're both neck deep in the Blight

(Also on the note of Fang, Novhen's probably going to let her take it when Cyrion gives it to them. He believes he has more right to it on account of Astala's not following in their mother's footsteps and her actions in your ficlet, but he knows she would make better use of it. Practicality wins out)

(Which is making me think about the conclusion of UITA again, and something i didn't mention is that after freeing the present elves, Novhen heads for the docks in the vain hope that Valendrian, Valora, and everyone else is still there. After word is brought back to Eamon's residence, Leliana meets Novhen at the dock to help, but Novhen was warned it was too late to save them and the warning was accurate. He takes some time to grieve near the docks, and they don't return to Eamon's til late)

And a crossbow 👀 ? Novhen is definitely going to invite her to practice at the shooting range with him during their stay at the Vigil. He might tease her while she's still getting used to it, but he's relearning how to shoot too. Turns out getting your shoulder torn up impacts your ability to shoot! Who'da guessed it! I just hope Ilanlas and Nathaniel aren't also at the range should he get exposed by giving her grief than missing his next shot immediately after XD

Ilanlas not being preachy will honestly go a long way. Novhen sees the Dalish as kin whose struggle is the opposite side of the same coin as the struggle of the alienage elves. Also, Cyrion's stories of the Dalish definitely romanticized them a bit. But he does get very defensive if Ilanlas ever accidentally says something insensitive about city elves as a group. If they ever get into a spat that neither side is resolving because they're both too stubborn and isolating, they're both small enough together that Astala (teamed up with Leliana?) could steal a shirt from Alistair or Sten and subject them to the Get Along Shirt

Also, Novhen does know the Slow Arrow story! I haven't read The Masked Empire yet, but given that the story came from Fel'assan, it's hard to say how known it is among the Dalish. It's entirely possible it's only known by the clans around the one he lived in and that it's a story primarily perpetuated by the Cult of Fen'Harel. That's my headcanon at least

He could regale the party with it as a campfire story, and even if Ilanlas is not all that interested in religion, it may pique his interest if he overhears a city elf sharing a story featuring Dalish gods that he himself doesn't know. I think on the story is technically an allegory for the creation of the Veil, but working with the information he has, Novhen's interpretation of the story is a very Fen'Harelist "Do not wait for the gods to solve your problem for you". I imagine Ilanlas's would be a more literal "Don't trust the Dread Wolf"

I am aware of Tamlen disappearing early on then haunting Ilanlas's dream and presumably reappearing later as a ghoul to finally be granted a death. Does Ilanlas explicitly try to invoke Fen'Harel for aid at some point? It must be quite drastic if he's taking that measure (which tbf these are indeed drastic circumstances), or is he just expecting the Wolf to pounce upon a Dalish's prayers to another god?

And as protective as Novhen may be of their family's traditions, i can easily see him offering to Ilanlas to trade tips on how to effectively sneak in the other's preferred terrain. Also, Novhen's good at traps, so he may also also offer to teach some of those skills in exchange for more arrowmaking techniques. Also also, arrows are finite! There are probably plenty of nights were they sit away from most of the group in relative silence just repairing and making arrows. This may be the best avenue for them to become friends. Leliana is also invited to arrow repair, but she has to respect the quiet time

Tbh i think Morrigan would appreciate some hardheadedness in a little kid XD Yeah sure, there'll be So Many conflicts between them and it'll be very different from training just Kieran, but she'd see something of herself in Perinella and would find her amusing. It's a good thing she's matured since Origins. Otherwise, the lessons would likely never move proceed the butting heads

Originally, i had Soris disappear around Witch Hunt/a year after killing the archdemon, but then i realized what a tight schedule that is fitting him on to not only get over his kidnapped and enslaved wife but also to fall madly in love with and marry a human. Now, it's about 9:34 or 35 that that happens, and Novhen won't reunite with Astala until Inquisition at the earliest. So it's after Soris, and Cyrion will be reacting with Soris's example in mind, for better or worse

On the matter of Soris, should we name him or Shianni as bann? Because Shianni is in most regards the better fit for the job, but she's also still a child in the alienage's (and Novhen's) eyes. Novhen starts arrangements for the alienage bannorn with Anora before the Landsmeet as part of the compromise for moving against Eamon's efforts to replace her with Alistair. She doesn't have to know that he has no actual interest in naming Al king and especially not as the sole ruler. I don't know if Astala would want to be present for the talks themselves, but he wouldn't get too deep into it without getting her opinion. Novhen's first choice for bann is Valendrian via tying it into the position of hahren, but after UITA, they may have to renegotiate that. I think a compromise between their worldstates would be if they agreed ease into a sovereign alienage, and Shianni would only be made bann once she's an adult. Or maybe they could try to keep it tied to hahren still and it's just coincidence it ends up being Shianni? Thoughts?

I know why they handled half-elves the way they did it canon, but i don't care for it. I headcanon elves just have very recessive genes to humans. There are some half-elves that need to look fully human for their stories to work like Alistair and Michel, but there also characters like Slim who don't have to pass and should get to look a little more elven. Kieran as a child needs to pass as fully human to survive the Orlesian court, but post-puberty, we allow some more elven features to show. He'll have some point to his ears by the time he's allowed to meet Cyrion

And yes! Novhen and Astala make such a good team!!! He distracts, and she attacks!!! He's got so many stun attacks under his belt for her to take full advantage of

Totally fair about the jam. Who can eat in such stressful conditions, really? Now that i think about it, I don't think Novhen would be much for eating either, but it's the thought that counts(?) He should've brought whatever stew was being served instead. That would've probably been much easier to stomach, but he can't return to that conversation now

Assigning Wynne as the B-Team's mage is a good call. It would explain why Novhen's not able to get back on his feet in time to kill the archdemon if their primo healer isn't available. Also, Pavle is not getting in a party that is going near where Irving is most likely to be considering he needs the Circle to think he's dead. I don't think faking his death would work a second time, especially if he's showing up just after the darkspawn begin their retreat

For sure on most elves not escaping. Even without the very recent memory of their neigbors being abducted by slavers, many elves don't trust ships. I imagine elves living in port cities like Denerim are taught stories of elves finding work or passage on a ship only to find out it was only a trap to enslave them. There's a culture of caution

Also, taking notes on Astala's scars, don't mind me. She looks lovely btw and deserves all the pretty dresses!

At Ostagar, consider the idea of Ilanlas rolling his eyes about being asked to watch after Astala's brother while Novhen is at the same time recalculating his plans to keep his sister's sorta-friend especially safe during the battle. (Did she ask him to? Probably not. Do they look like friends at this point? Also no. But they were Joined from the same swill which probably counts for something. Besides, he's sure Ilanlas will warm up to Astala eventually. She has that effect on people)

He'd be suspicious of Ilanlas at the first mention of her technically catching Blight from him, but once Novhen heard the specifics of how Astala was tainted, he'd let it go. Might even see a little dark humor in it. Not that it's any sort of laughing matter. Ilanlas was being an ass about the ring and should have returned it to Astala certainly. That's one thing (and he'll have some difficulty forgiving him on that account), but him giving Astala the Blight was another and completely unintended

From your latest(?) WIP Wednesday, it looks like your Wardens aren't going to be invited to the war table meeting after their Joining but instead are going to spy on it? In Novhen's canon, it's obviously not happening immediately after his Joining (several months too late for that), but he does still get invited to shadow (heh) Duncan at it. Duncan's at this point nearing his Calling and trying to groom Novhen into a potential successor for the position of Warden-Commander, so he wants him present. It could be fun to combine those two situations, so Novhen is standing silently behind Duncan when he catches one of your spies out of the corner of his eye or through the Taint. They may very well know he's spotted them too with the way elven eyes reflect light. He won't be alerting anyone else though (Trait: Mama didn't raise no snitch!)

If Sulri ran up with Novhen to the Tower of Ishal, that'll leave just Khêd and Ilanlas together on the ground. I trust them to make it to Lothering safe, but it's going to be a rough trip 😬 Between their skillsets, they can handle whatever the road throws their way, but i hope Khêd's got stronger social skills than Ilanlas. You've described him as "grumbly", yes? Not unsalvageable, but it does not bode well for this question XD

Or perhaps should all of the floater group be separated in the battle? Everyone assumes everyone is dead! They could slowly regroup as they head north, but maybe Sulri found the Tabrises' group before Khêd?

Pavle's with the Circle mages and is about to take advantage of the chaos to fake his own death. He's not a Warden, so he may have had a conversation with any of our party before the battle, but it wouldn't have gone far. Probably not Astala or Ilanlas since they get there with barely any time before the battle, but maybe one of the others. He'll meet them all in Lothering regardless. I have a wip of Novhen's recruitment of him that idk if it'll ever see the light of day, but basically, Pavle's very bad at blending in (which being foreign-nobility-turned-circle-mage will do to you)

I think meeting in Lothering is preferable to meeting in the Brecilian Forest. Besides that being a monster to navigate with a set destination in mind, let alone a moving target, there're more companion shenanigans to be found in Lothering

Radka and Khêd knowing each other before his conscription is a very fun idea! It'd also shade his perception of her a bit more cynical than most of the party. Maybe didn't work together often but they knew of each other. She's ruthless, so i don't think her fall from grace would be due to a personal lapse in judgment but rather circumstances out of her control (like the oopsie at the Proving in the Origin). If Khêd has any reservations about her, she would try to assure him that the Carta's done with her, so she's willing to throw her lot in with him instead. They both know Carta's not big on forgiveness. I don't remember enough to say when this would happen in relation to the Leske reunion, but she's willing to prove her newfound loyalties in the fight against Jarvia which is as serious as it gets down there. And the idea of her pledging herself to Khêd instead of one of the actual leaders of the party is also a fun detail i think (and +1 person who knows the sign language Sulri uses!)

She turns from a hardass to a jester the second she hits surface tho, so i imagine him having a reaction along the lines of "Oh sod it, we broke her". She may know a guy who knows a guy who knows the guy who framed Novhen, but she herself had never left Orzammar before now

I've seen corn in Inquisition. Maybe it's not too much of a stretch to say some farmers from the Dales have engineered the type used to make popcorn? All popcorn needs fulfilled in the Winter Palace 😌

Unfortunately, i don't think Novhen could get away with dancing at the ball. He's on too high a guard there. Also, Morrigan may be a disruptor, but it would be too much of a danger to both of them for her to dance with her the elf claiming to be her servant in front of all the court. She doesn't even allow Kieran to be publicly affiliated with her :( Maybe they can sneak in a private dance in her personal quarters later

Novhen is going to be very invested in Astala's tweaks to the recipes. Growing up with the same foods probably left them with fairly similar preferences, and he knows where to expect the differences

For the infiltration, he's keeping close to her. Even if he's in disguise, he's going to try to keep her grounded. It's natural for her to experience strong emotions returning here, and if she's going, this is the most important thing he can do to keep her safe. At least that's how he sees it, idk how much she'd agree

I'll say Novhen hadn't had a chance to fall back behind the group yet when Cauthrien corners them so that he can't make off, and Cauthrien will be trained on what all wanted Wardens look like. Maybe she had them flanked from behind as well? She certainly has the manpower for it. I know he's a shadow and all, but it's just more interesting if he's captured!

Novhen getting concussed is admittedly a leftover from his canon where the guards recognize him as Vaughan's murderer, which is a much bigger deal than whatever crime he committed in this AU. Maybe this is the same guardsman who originally caught him but now transferred positions, or maybe whoever this was was feeling trigger happy when they were taking them to their cells? Or! What if he tried to slink away immediately after the surrender, but someone had their eyes trained on him! And the concussion was a result of the roughing up he got for that

(Also, i forgot to put it before in relation to this stage, but he also can't escape on his own yet again on account of his being too small to pass for a human guard. That together with the concussion and also needing to get Alistair out of there was how i excused him from escaping)

If we're going purely by mechanics, we need a high-level spirit healer spell that Morrigan is unlikely to have access to or an injury kit. Narratively, the injury kit will work just fine but may take some time. He's not fighting, and he's not running, but he can at least carry himself to the exit. Slowly. Morrigan will guard him at the back of the party, so Astala needn't worry about him. She's free to set the stage for the darkspawn to easily overwhelm the tower lol

It makes most sense for both to get all shapeshifts. That said, i imagine Novhen shifting unto a mouse even when no form is necessary and sitting on Adaia or Astala's shoulder 😊 Yeah, if there's a scuffle, he'll shift back into something more combat capable, but he likes the feeling of being so small and easy-to-miss. Although especially if Adaia is with them, he could be convinced to stay in elf form if his ma's missed seeing his face

So!! I've been wanting to do this for a while, but life got in the way, so now I'm here to take that thing up again because!!! Fun!!!! This is about the relationships between OCs, and I don't want to impose anything but. Regarding how Novhen and Astala would get along:

What if they HAD grown up together? Maybe not in the same family (although, it would be fun 👀👀👀👀👀👀 they are very similar and very different from each other in different aspects. For example both are very loyal and community oriented, but also Astala is loud and boisterous while Novhen is quieter and more underhanded), but definitely the same Alienage. They'd know each others' quirks and habits. Maybe Novhen got frustrated with Astala because she'd always hide in these really obvious spots when playing hide and seek and Astala in turn would never be able to find Novhen? Maybe Novhen would at some point have stolen a plum tart for her and maybe Astala would've helped him against another kid who made fun of Novhen? Maybe, if we wanted them to meet up later during the Blight, Astala had to move away from Denerim at some point. I think she's a bit older than Novhen; maybe she got married elsewhere. Or, if not, now we gave more elves storming Vaughan's estate, which is alwats fun. I think Novhen would get to lead that one operation until Nelaros's death, because before that, stealth does seem to be the best option.

I think these two would get along well, differences aside. Astala would make an effort to lower her if needed, and having a familiar face to lean on during the Blight year would probably be a big comfort to them both. I think they'd be comfortable enough with each other to talk about the recruitment and how it didn't exactly happen willingly; they could gripe about nobles and politics; they could just. Sit in silence after Broken Circle and try and digest Sloth's nightmare. They could kill the slavers at the Alienage together!!! I think having a like-minded person from the same cultural background would help enormously.

One thing Astala probably wouldn't be on board with is the Cult of Fen'Harel. She'd let Novhen practice alright and defend him if accusations about this were levelled against him, but I think she would either have fallen out of it if she'd ever been introduced to it (it didn't save Adaia after all, so...), or never warmed up to the idea of this elvhen trickster god

These are my thoughts as far as they go. What do you think? Also I hadn't thought of it, but if you want to move this conversation to DMs, they're open ^^

(And if this doesn't tickle your fancy anymore, feel free to ignore ^^)

👀👀👀👀👀 I am eating this ask up like breakfast. Or, er, ramen. Which is the thing i am actually eating atm. But yes yes yes to all of this, i love it so much

Full response under the readmore for length, but i'm realizing now my response is mostly about them as kids 😅 Oops

[Ask Game]

The way i play with companion!Novhen, i'd assume he and Astala are probably either siblings or cousins (i waffle), except this time on their mothers' sides. I don't know Astala's exact age, but Novhen was born in *pulls out notes* Wintermarch of 9:7 Dragon. If we try to stagger them based on Adaia's death, that's probably close to a decade between them which seems a tad bit higher than it should be. We'll just have to dance around that matter

Even if Astala isn't significantly older, there's probably never a single moment where he's taller than her XD Add onto that that girls tend to hit puberty first, there's gonna be quite the height difference around age 10

But yes, their personalities go in very different directions but are probably pretty compatible, especially if given the benefit of a shared childhood! They're both very sociable, but i suspect most people like Astala more, especially authority figures. She's much less of a troublemaker, and Novhen definitely took a while to come into his own as a social mastermind. (This also would make her the ideal candidate for a distraction whenever Novhen’s a-scheming. That’s gonna do her a lot of favors when trying to get him to steal plum tarts for her XD These two are the real blight as far as anyone in the alienage is concerned XDD)

Oh, actually! If they knew each other, i can imagine pretty well him practicing with or studying Astala to get better at social situation! And clearly it worked! (A: "Ok now make an angry face... You just look like you can't find a chamberpot. You have to scrunch your eyebrows like this." *jams her thumb down his forhead*)

Astala seems to prefer her hair shorter during the Blight, but how was it as a child? Because if it were in some sort of puff, i can imagine her child-level object permanence resulting in her hiding in an empty barrel with the puff still peeking over the top! (Artist's Rendition Below)

I don’t think he’d be too frustrated with her poor stealth outside of team games at least! (If they’re partnered is another story…) He does sometimes tease her that she’s not going to be a very good criminal when she gets bigger. Idk, how would she respond to that? Because how does she feels about the fact that she's not going to follow in her mother's footsteps (or how aware of that she'd be as a child) or maybe she would retort about how she’s already bigger or something else? Definitely a lot of ways to take that one lol

But also the idea of Novhen as alienage king of hide and seek is kinda cute. He's usually the last one left (all that damn thief training), so it’s not unheard of to see a parade of Astala, Shianni, Soris, and whoever else they've wrapped into their game (which with Astala could be quite a number) turning the alienage upsidedown to find him. There's probably at least one time he gets found in the first minute, and he thinks he's going to die of embarrassment. Because of that, they almost never let him be a hider in the first round. Sometimes when he’s hiding, they'll accidentally pick up seekers who weren't even playing along the way because they want to see him knocked down a peg XD That's what happens when you win too much!

Astala probably has him beat at wrestling tho! And the game where i imagine they’re most evenly matched would be arm wrestling. As an archer, Novhen has insane upper body and especially shoulder strength, but Astala has insane everywhere strength

On the less competitive side, imagine them as dance partners as little kids ☺️ Astala’s probably the more enthusiastic one about it, but i’d imagine she could drag him into it Easy whether through blackmail or Ole Reliable (puppy dog eyes). There have to be lots of events in the alienage that call for dancing, so it’s good to have a go-to dance partner! And if they ever get a Silly Urge while dancing, the one thing that i’ve found little kids most reliable to do is spin so fast they nearly make themselves sick, and when there’s two of them spinning each other, there’s no stopping them until the centrifugal force throws them both to the ground. At least they’re having fun lol

The Cult of Fen'Harel thing makes sense. I wouldn't expect Astala to be into that. I imagine in this case that Cyrion and Adaia agreed to expose the children to both sets of beliefs, so they could choose once they got older

It's a good thing Novhen's good at keeping matters hush because otherwise Astala would likely get stuck constantly mediating between Novhen and Ilanlas on matters of religion 🤭

Tbh Novhen would slightly begrudge her for choosing the Chantry, but i don't think he'd ever let her know if he could help it. It's just not worth it, and you can't talk about that without talking about Adaia's death which nobody is excited to talk about. Still, it's a potential source of drama, esp as the politics of DA:D are winding up

Back in the present day, if the endgame configuration is one where they live in the same location (which i think could only be the case if they were both companions), Novhen would offer her once for him to educate her child/ren in the way of the Cult of Fen'Harel and/or the Vir Banal'ras fighting style, probably get denied at least on the first one, and never bring it back up. He knows she's Andrastian and also wouldn't expect her to teach them that fighting style herself (too rogue-based), but if he had permission, he'd want to at least try to expose them to their family's traditions, so they could make a choice themselves like Novhen and Astala did

And honestly, if he's present for the origin, once Nelaros dies, Novhen would more than happily hand leadership of the mission over to Astala. Stealth only goes so far, and she has first dibs on revenge #SupportWomen

And with Unrest in the Alienage! As soon as Caladrius is dead, Novhen is scampering over his corpse to pick the lock on Cyrion's cage. Doesn't even wait for someone else to pilfer the key. Astala is free to react to that little scene however she wishes, and we get the whole Tabris family reunion after

Whoever’s Warden, i imagine those two leaning on each other a lot for emotional support during the Blight because not only are they the only alienage elves in the party, they’re family (or at the least childhood friends). Once we personalize the Broken Circle dreams, they get upsetting fast. If either of them get sent into that mission (or Maker forbid both of them), they’re definitely going to need to share a blanket by the fire for a minute

EDIT: the paragraph looks like it's been eaten but also! Novhen would be very cautious about Astala's Zevran romance at first. ("Yes, Stala, he's very dreamy, but let's not forget he's only here because he was hired to kill you.") We know he's very protective, and they're both so eldest sibling-coded

the lovely @lastlightinternet tagged me in ye olde six song soundtrack for my ocs, presumably to cause me lasting psychic damage but unbeknownst to them i'm the Sound of my ocs Guy. so anyway they picked some guys and i made some soundtracks. i was really unwell about this. some of them escaped containment and got seven songs, even. i even annotated the playlists. enjoy.

i'm not tagging anyone specific but if you see this and you want to have a crack consider yourself tagged by me c: i linked all the songs on youtube but everything is available on spotify as well if thats more ur speed.

(a man after midnight) - abba 6. closing credits: a beautiful life - dorothy

BRYANT COUSLAND -

KATARI ADAAR -

1. an event that defines their past: rest in peace - dorothy [again there are not many songs that encapsulate the exact circumstances of her background and i refused to put a six60 song on this playlist so this works well enough <3] 2. how they see themself: missile - dorothy i like it heavy - halestorm [at this point i was just like there are So many dorothy songs in this lineup. i should throw something else in there. so i did. but i couldn't get rid of the other one it works too good] 3. how others see them: we will rock you - in this moment ft lzzy hale, marina brink & taylor momsen 4. their closest dynamic: black sheep - dorothy [inside her mercenary company that i invented from scratch are her chosen siblings so. this song is about them and their dynamic <3] 5. fight scene music: enter sandman - rina sawayama [this was so hard for her because so many of the songs on this playlist could double as fight scene songs. so for the last two i just picked songs that Sonically vibe since the lyrical heavy lifting was done earlier LOL] 6. closing credits: poison - starbenders

SYRACUSE TREVELYAN -

1. an event that defines their past: fuyu no hanashi - given (given soundtrack) [contextually this song is about grieving/moving on from a dead lover but without knowing the full nuances of the language it's vague enough that it COULD work about a dead sibling. see the vision] 2. how they see themself: towers (on my way) - young guns 3. how others see them: now come on now (mell hall remix) - KYE ft mell hall 4. their closest dynamic: if i fall you're going down with me - the chicks [again. many such bull x syracuse songs vying for the title but this one is just So funny and exactly how syracuse approaches that relationship. if he's experiencing love for the first time so are you. bitch.] 5. fight scene music: 365 - charli xcx 6. closing credits: this hell - rina sawayama
