Mara Adaar

[attractthecrows]

list post.

DA THEMES

for my ocs. sorry. not canon characters

Sylaira Mahariel: dead & dying trees. single, lost feathers. love lost. suicidality. bonds forged in grief. life lived to the fullest on borrowed time, with acceptance of - longing for - impending death.

Laure Amell: birds. A chick with its wings clipped. the pretty, empty life of a captured songbird. the call of the zugunruhe. the croaking squawk of the carrion crow. Rising wind, and the storms that come with it. determination, competence, confidence, pride, Valor. how many ways can an ego die?

Hahraka Aeducan: [incomplete] The savagery of Nobility as a class. The kindness that nobility might represent. The ignominious death of the Deshyr houses. The havoc that darkspawn wreak not only on a population, but long-term, as a culture.

Danie Hawke: birds again. simple joys and sorrows. loyalty and loneliness. Loyalty and loneliness. [incomplete]

Dominic Hawke: [incomplete]

Mara Hawke: Piety and compassion. [incomplete]

Brendan Hawke: [incomplete]

Asaaranda Adaar: mountains, colorful silks, the bonds of brotherhood. Cliff-climbing goats. Blood and sweat and laughter by the campfire once the battle is won. Shattering stone and your comrade's back against yours.

Haalide Adaar: broken weapons, re-forged sloppier but stronger than before the break. Fire and steel, stone and bone. Ease and assurance that comes with age and experience. Old wounds, old scars. Hurts and secrets buried by time. More than anything, though: forgework, be it forging the Inquisition, forging weapons for the Valo-kas, or forging a new future.

Revallen Lavellan: grief, guilt, fury, responsibility, failure, redemption. Fire and forest. Secret and song. The legacies of the dead and of the living. Curiosity, creativity, laughter, affection. Fathers that love their children. Lessons learned from the dead.

Orathari Lavellan: skill and patience. copper and gold. clever mechanical trinkets. stranglevine and morning mist.

Valovera Lavellan: anger and ambition.

14, 16, and 23!

aa thank you!! sorry this took so long o o f but i’ll try to stick to the dragon age crew for this one 

 - 14 - physical vices vs. spiritual vices

taibhse is 100% a physical vices guy because it’s MUCH easier to forget your Feelings and Responsibilities that way. you’d never know just by talking to him, but if you’re a close friend or dating? yeah. you def know

ardal’s spiritual vice is PURE UNADULTERATED RAGE at society all the time forever. it’s deep in his soul. even when he’s happy he’s mad.

- 16 - most secretive vs. most open

this one’s really hard tbh but?? i’m gonna nominate dav for most secretive because the guy just. has such a hard time opening up about his problems. it’s physically difficult and if he’s learned or is dealing with literally anything Not Nice And Fine he’s going to shove it very deep inside his emotions drawer

oz is the most open because she doesn’t give two shits. she has places to BE

- 23 - best at self care vs. most self destructive

alma is probably the best at self care, honestly. she spent a lot of time beating herself up about being... herself? and Not Good Enough? and eventually had a weird epiphany where she went ‘actually, fuck this’ and started putting herself first. she still cares a lot about other people, but she knows when to say no and when you just need to dress up cute and go on a walk by yourself sometimes.

it is WILD how many are tied for self destructive but i’m going to go with Mara over Ardal because ardal still has some semblance of self preservation and mara totally abandoned hers on the side of the road next to a dead archdemon, 9000 regrets, and the realization that after all of that she’s going to meet an inevitable bitter end alone in the deep roads.

Mine were:

Rogue dagger female Tabris, romanced Leliana

Rogue dagger female Hawke, romanced Merrill

Rogue dagger female Adaar, romanced Josephine

curious question if anyone wants to weigh in–what was your first character and class in each dragon age? On my first play throughs I had a rogue Tabris (Bard/Duelist), mage Hawke (Blood Mage), and mage Lavellan (Knight Enchanter),,

Josephine: "I heard that Mara Adaar had a six pack ... that Mara Adaar was shredded..."

[coryfirelion]

Asked by @lauraemoriarty​, @cartadwarfwithaheartofgold​ and @blarfkey​ (yes, i’m a cheater >:v fight me :P) from the Caretaker Prompts, featuring a very very hurt Mara Adaar/The Iron Bull.

Everything had happened very quickly and yet time seemed to go slower than ever. It was one thing to lose a soldier during a fight against numerous enemies, and another thing to lose a seven and a half foot qunari in a fight against fewer enemies, and oh! not just any qunari, if not nothing less than the Inquisitor and, what weighed most heavily on Bull, his Kadan. The Iron Bull really needed to hit something. They attacked in the dead of night, a particularly dark one in the Hissing Wastes. The party had camped near the dragon's nest after the battle against the beast. They were exhausted, but extremely content. With a few blows and cuts, and Mara, their only mage, having exhausted her mana against the beast, they decided to call it a day and try to sleep.

What they didn’t expect of course, was that Venatoris would be ready to assault them, practically thanking them for having eradicated the giant beast. Tents flared above them, leading them disoriented from these, where the enemies waited to crowd the second blow. With no armor on, energy depleted, and injured, there was little they could do against the mages. But just as quickly as the attack had started, it stopped. The enemies disappeared into thin air. Bull looked around, seeing the camp in ash and rubble, Cassandra and Varric approached him, wounded, but not as close as might have been expected from such a well-coordinated attack. Reality slammed into the Iron Bull, eye widening.

"Where is Mara?"

Disappeared. Like their attackers. The attack had been precise, coordinated, and successful. Mara Adaar was in the hands of the Venatori. Bull's roar of fury broke the dreadful silence of the revelation of the Venatori's attack target. Taking the few things that could be salvaged from the fire, Bull began walking towards the nearest Inquisition camp with the Seeker and Varric following closely behind. They will need eyes all over the place, and the crows moved faster than horses in that devilish sand. Reflectively, his hand went to his chest, where it met the dragon's tooth dangling from his neck, one half his, and the other half… Bull quickened his pace. They would find Mara and bring her back. The Venatori would regret having provoked their wrath. He will make them pay for this.

________________________________________________________________

The world was pain and darkness. Even in a desert, Mara's skin twisted with cold. One moment she was sleeping in her tent with The Iron Bull, and the next she came out of it while it was on fire, separating to fight the enemy and then, feeling twin daggers digging into her back. The effect of the poison hit her immediately, immobilizing her body, preventing her from crying out for the hell that had been unleashed within her. It didn't cost her enemies much to get hold of her, blindfolding her and tying her up to take her wherever she was now.

She had heard them speak. While the anchor was of no use to Corypheus, that didn't mean it was useless, and they were going to fiddle with it as much as they wanted. Mara did not think to make it easy for them, her magic would return and sooner or later she could move again. But all her hopes of running away on her own were dashed when she felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She tried to spit out whatever they had just given her to drink, but there was no use, it was too late. The poison spread rapidly, and the effect was immediate. Without magic, immobilized, Mara placed all her hopes on the Inquisition. In Bull. Kadan, please don't take long.

________________________________________________________________

Seven days. It had taken seven damn days to locate the hiding place where Mara had been taken. Bull, the others and a group of soldiers of the Inquisition razed the place, until finally the Qunari found the only cell in the place. His sensitive nose made out the scents scattered in the room. Poison, and not just any. Magebane. The intensity of the stench indicated something that made his blood boil even more with anger. Those damn cowards had kept Mara under continuous poisoning to keep her magic under control. Bull pushed open the cell door. This one opened easily. Isn't it closed? A thought invaded his mind. Could she not be here? But a growl from a corner of the dark room told him otherwise.

"Kadan?"

Silence. Cassandra came up behind him with a torch, and then they saw what was hidden in the shadows. The Seeker gasped. Bull's eye widened.

"Oh for- what did they do to you?"

Mara was lying on the ground, her clothes had been reduced to rags that barely covered enough, multiple cuts and bruises made their way all over her body, to the point that certain areas were disfigured, the position of her left shoulder was wrong, her left hand was “bandaged” by a cloth so bloody that the anchor light could not be seen. Her breathing was rapid and ragged, her ribs were undoubtedly broken. Her face was obscured by bruises and blood on it, which also stained the fabric that covered her eyes.

"We need a Healer!" Cassandra yelled at the soldiers. Bull approached the figure lying on the ground. Hearing someone approach, Mara's body tensed, trying to move in the opposite direction of the sound. Bull reached her and took her in his arms.

"Hey, it's just me. It’s just me."

The tension in Mara's body didn’t give way, she began to hyperventilate, desperation was denoting her features. What kind of torture had she been subjected to that she couldn't believe the one who was touching her was The Iron Bull? Bull removed the cloth from Mara's sight, but her eyes remained closed. Placing his hand on her face, Bull talked in the softest way he could.

"Look at me. Kadan look at me. It's me."

Slowly, Mara's eyes opened. These were bloodshot, and one of them was so beaten that she could barely open it. But as soon as Bull's eyes met hers, the change in her expression was immediate and her eyes filled with tears. Her voice cracked and raspy from disuse, she said.

"Bull… I knew you would come."

“I have you Kadan. Everything will be fine."

Sighing, her body finally relaxed. Her eyes closed again, her body yielding to exhaustion in the arms of her Kadan, her heart. The tooth in her necklace touched Bull’s. The two halves of the same dragon tooth came together. No matter how much we part, we will always be together, Kadan.

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. REPOST DO NOT REBLOG !!

NAME:  Mara, Aylen-mun

PRONOUNS: She/her

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: IM or askbox here on Tumblr. If we’re mutuals and write together already you can always ask for my Discord. I work full time, so I’m not available 24/7 (I’m most active during the weekends). I’m also an introvert, so I do need ‘me’ time to recharge even during my time off work. But I am friendly, happy to chat and talk about our lives, muses and plots!

NAME OF MUSE(S):  Aylen Circe Lavellan

RP EXPERIENCE/HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): According to my archive, since April 2016, so that’s... A bit over 5 years? Oh god, it still feels like it was just a few months ago and I am still bs’ing my way around.

PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED:  DevART notes, Skype, Tumblr, Discord.

BEST EXPERIENCE:  Honestly all the friends I’ve made RPing here. I love your muses, your writing, YOU PEOPLE, and I have so much fun writing with friends here and getting to know you. This blog has been and continues to be such a fun way to connect with people, grow and learn and create stories together!

PET PEEVES/DEALBREAKERS: I don’t mind ooc stuff, but I do prefer to write on a fantasy setting. I make a few exceptions with particular AU plotlines discussed with my RP partners, but it’s definitely something I prefer. 

Dealbreakers: any kind of abuse on our RP experience together, or continuing to make me uncomfortable after we’ve already discussed it. I’m not here for politics either, or to hear anyone’s racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, any hate speech and I’m out. I want RP to be a safe, fun experience for me and everyone I write with, not a stressful one.

FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT:  All of it. I love all. Of course shipping will depend on chemistry and I like to plot this stuff beforehand, especially if we have a long-term plotline planned. And angst... Man I love angst. Hit me with all the angst!

I sometimes get burnt out with smut, but that only means I’ll be a little slower to reply to that kind of thread because I want to give you quality writing in the right mindset.

PLOTS OR MEMES:  Both! I love planning long-term plotlines with my partners, but memes are the perfect icebreaker and a lot of fun, unexpected interactions come from them: they also help when I’m a little burnt out and need a push.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: I personally get more invested with longer replies over short banter replies, but that doesn’t mean you have to match my reply length at all, or that I expect you to. I simply feel that a lot more development can come from longer replies, and we have more to work with.

BEST TIME TO WRITE: Fridays and weekens mostly. I work full time as a designer and also have chores and errands as everyone else. Weekends are the best time for me to write, though I will write during the week if I catch a break and feel the urge to reply.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): We share some traits in a way, and I think it’s a common thing to project some stuff into your characters. For example, Aylen’s constant curiosity and eagerness to learn is something that I have too, as well as being protective and family/friend-driven. That said, we’re also very different. Aylen is an extrovert, I’m a lot more of an introvert; she’s super friendly and eager to surround herself with people, I’m a bit shy. We both get frustrated when things don’t work out, but Aylen gets up to try again a lot easier and quicker than I do. She’s such an optimist too, and always tries to see the bright side in everything - something I struggle with more often than not. We’re not the same person, we have different opinions, but I love our differences and challenging myself when I write her, getting out of my comfort zone.

TAGGED BY: @kaaras-adaar TAGGING:. @sabraelost , @dragonagedmage , @pellelavellan and anyone who might want to do it after seeing this!

1, 2, 24 and 32 for your Inquisitor :)

WELL WELL WELL IF IT ISNT ANOTHER ASK ABOUT MY IDIOT OC

We stan these vibes in this house. I love it when the simp of all Blackwall simps comes breaking down my door with an ask, bless

QUESTIONS TIME AWWWW YEAAA

1. what is your inquisitor’s name & race? 

-Fen’Harel Adaar and she’s a Qunari elf because goddamnit i could never choose between qunari and elf so i just said FUCK IT BE DOING BOTH OUT LOUD. Yes i named her after a trickster god because go big or go home (but also fic plot stuff Hollaaaaaaa)

2.what is their sexual orientation?

24. what is their opinion on blood magic? would they ever use it, if given the chance?

-Harel does not think Blood Magic is afraid of blood magic and outwardly speaks against it when questioned, however, shes a curious bitch and very much wants to try it but again, is too scared. If push comes to shove, I feel she absolutely would because she honestly cherishes all forms of magic.

32. do they get along with vivienne? 

-Harel tries, she really does but it’s like everything she says is the opposite of what Vivienne wants. She respects her, hell, Harel likes her because she’s a goddamn puppy who loves people but their relationship is rocky but not hateful. Harel wants to be her friend and Vivienne says *no* everytime. Personally, I think Vivienne is pretty tight, she’s got the whole take no bullshit stance and i can vibe with that.

THANKS FOR THE ASK bRuh. We love it when Mara (oh god help) Adaar’s creator comes and says ASKS? IN YOUR INBOX? ITS MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK!

Have a choking Harel for your supremeness
