Storm Coast, 9:41 Dragon

(Starter for @kaaras-adaar)

Elissa crouched low as she crept slowly along the ground, more than half a dozen of her best Wardens at her back. They did not leave the safety of Soldier’s Peak often, but their duty still needed fulfilling and the land needed protecting from the Darkspawn - False Calling or no. More desperately though, she searched for signs of Loghain. In spite, or perhaps because of everything that had passed between them over the years... distant though they had grown, the thought he might be lost to Clarel's madness and machinations put a greater knot in her throat and stomach than any spawn or False Calling. The rain had abated somewhat in the late afternoon hours, but the banshee-like shrieking of the wind was ceaseless. It served to cover any sound of their approach well enough.

They did not need their ears to track the darkspawn they hunted.

  Sharp sounds - the ringing of clashing metal, and the sounds of shouting voices… Elissa’s eyes, along with the other Wardens’, flared with a smokey white pulse of light - the Darkspawn were near. Her palm jerked up in a signal to stop, her lips pursing against a pressed tongue to imitate the shrill trilling of a coastal bird. The spine chilling shrrrk of unsheathed steel was drowned by the howling winds and the pattering of rain from the ebbing storm.

  Moving more swiftly, the small company snaked its way down the steep hill to a shallow overlook that afforded a wide view of the shore. What the Commander saw drew a hissing breath and pushed a wave of frustration up from her belly into the back of her throat. The Darkspawn weren’t alone.

The Inquisition…

  She had no qualms with the supposed ‘Herald of Andraste’ - a Qunari of all things, if the rumors she heard were to be believed. Elissa of all people in the world could appreciate the burdens of a Hero who didn’t ask for, or want such a mantle - but that didn’t mean she was eager to complicate her own business by inviting their interference. Still, duty required what it required…

With an unnaturally loud and piercing whistle, Elissa drew her sword and dagger, signalling the others to attack. And in what would likely be out of nowhere for those on the beach, the Wardens burst forth from the foliage with a great cry, jumping from where they were concealed and into the fray…

What do you look for in a rp partner?

Chemistry, above all. Writing chemistry is an absolute must, and someone who is willing to actually give me something to respond with. OOC interaction is important as well, but I understand that we're all busy, we're adults, and I absolutely don't expect everyone to chat ooc with each other (especially because I'm a massive culprit here as I'm antisocial af). It's a MAJOR added bonus if we have OOC chemistry as well as writing chemistry, but we don't HAVE to have OOC chemistry to have good writing chemistry either. I have written with people before and we hardly spoke OOC and we just chatted OOC in the tags and shit to get a feel, etc, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it absolutely does help to have OOC interaction and feel like there is a common interest amongst Rp partners. But yes, writing chemistry is an absolute must for me.

Favourite trope?

Oh man, so many... I'm a slut for so many tropes, lol. But my favourite is probably slow burn shipping, getting to know each other and pining and falling in love. I also love frenemies, enemies to lovers, grumpy and happy getting tossed together, and chaotic gremlins causing mischief. I'm also a big sucker for ANGST. Honestly, just give me something to work with and I'm happy, lol. I want to explore all the things with the muses and cause my muses to have reactions.

Who is an author that inspires you?

I think every media that I take in inspires me one way or another. A lot of my inspiration is simply from every day things, common things that humans do, whether that is good or bad. I get inspiration from my favourite movies, music is a LOT of my inspiration, you guys are also a lot of my muse and inspiration. I take it from where I can get it, and that's everywhere. :)

What is the muse that you write for the longest?

Rp wise, it would be my Inquisitor, Kaaras Adaar (from Dragon Age). I think I wrote him for a good... 7-8 years? I mean, I still WILL write him and his blog is still up, I've just not been very DA inspired as of late, tho I do imagine with the new game coming out, I'll likely get back to his blog eventually <3

As for non RP writing, Megatron has been my longest muse, from Transformers. I have a whole long fic series about him, his past, his post war life, lol. It's a wild ride X'D

Do you tell your friends / family that you write?

Yes and no? lol. I'm shy and awkward. There are some people that know I write, there are people who knew I USED to write (don't know I still do), and there are people that don't know I write at all. Most of my family and RL friends don't know I actively write, let alone write fanfiction and RP lol.

Do you ever get jealous when rping? How do you handle this?

I have in the past, yes, and I think that we all have days when we feel a little jealous or down. I've suffered through some very bad depression in my past, and that was a very unhappy time for me, with skewed visions that the depression no doubt made me think. Thankfully, I have been doing a lot better in the last few years. I still have my moments where I do feel like maybe I'm not as good as my RP partners or entertaining, lord knows I'm no way near as chatty as some of you guys lol, and that's okay. I've come to terms with it over the years. That's just the person I am, and there's nothing wrong with that. I know it's just the negative vibes talking and being stupid. When this happens, it's best to just step away from the PC and go enjoy something else. Come back when you feel better and it's all good. Remember, RP is a hobby, and you should enjoy it, it shouldn't make you feel bad. Thankfully, I'm pretty good at recognising when this happens if it does, and I'm able to handle it maturely.

Do you ship someone’s muses on your dash?

Most of the ships I wholeheartedly support, lol. In particular, I love Alaara x Gale (but also Alaara simply oogling her entire camp) @chaoticbard . Seeing Alaara on my dash just brings me joy, she's just such an amusing character. Cassian and Ras are also another couple that I love seeing on my dash, big beefy boys @ode-of-odr , @crimesought (also Sornin and Cassian ofc <33 ), Literally Minthara and anyone because @spiderwarden just writes her SOOOO WELL!!! Also ofc I'm entirely bias when it comes to Haarlep x Raphael. (:

Do you have developed dynamics with the OC of another mun that has influenced your OC or Canon muse?

Oh absolutely! Check out Alaara and Haarlep, and how they have both moved forward (especially Haarlep lol). I absolutely adore their dynamic, and then because of that interaction, I have been able to harass Astarion @apalestar (and in turn, Astarion makes Haarlep's ears bleed), and it's just so damn funny and fun. I have chaotic gremlin energy with @silvertiefling and Haarlep, which I love so damn much as well, as Haarlep still tries to fuck her constantly lol (ofc he does tho...). But I think each and every one of you that I write with gives Haarlep a unique dynamic. I think that that's what I love about writing him so much, tho, is that he's willing to be decent enough to interact with good aligned muses, and chaotic and evil enough to play with evil muses. He's REALLY flexible, and I love that.

What’s one random headcanon about your muse that people mightn’t know?

Ummmm, I think I pretty much splurge them all out whenever they come to me, LOL. Haarlep is an open book X'D You know my secret one which I will keep between us and Haarlep's potential blood :'D

➤ Vasco actually switches between two handwriting he has. Both are not made for anything. In other words, he can be seen using both at any given time, especially when he is writing letters, writing into his journal, into the logbooks, etc. It honestly depends on how much time he has or what kind of situation he is in, though the latter could go back to how much time he has.

grew up being taught by his mother

Grew up in Tevinter where they have fancy ass handwriting anyway

And was in the Tevinter Military

You can't tell me he wouldn't have actual fancy handwriting that could put most of the Inquisition to shame. The Chargers give him shit for it.

I couldn't find one close to what I envisioned but this is the closest. Kassandra writes in quick strokes, her penmanship isn't the best, a little scratchy, a little rushed. Her writing skills was never her biggest focus, she focused more on art and music for pursuits to while away the time in between missions since eternity was a long ass time. But writing was not one she had focused on as much and as such her writing was always a little sloppy a bunch of quick strokes of the pen that barely made up a language.

MISCELLANEOUS NOISES

REPOST, do not reblog

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE’S LAUGH SOUND LIKE? A chuckle. Rarely does Kaaras outright laugh loudly. His laugh is an airy sound. Since his VA is Harry Hadden-Paton, you know what his laugh sounds like if you’ve chosen the British VA for your Quizzy. That’s Kaaras’ VA. In saying that, he doesn’t really laugh loudly, but he does chuckle lots in general conversations. In rare occasions, some people have been known to make him giggle, but it’s VERY rare, and only in moments of silly intimacy. Most times, it’s just a short chuckle, and he also often laughs through his nose in a little hum or a huff, closed mouth but a chuckle from within his throat.

WHAT DO YOUR MUSE’S SNEEZES SOUND LIKE? WHAT TRIGGERS THEM MOST? Kaaras is the kind of person who tries to make his sneezes quiet, which causes them to be more of a dog style huff than a proper ‘ah-choo’ sound. He ALWAYS knows when a sneeze is coming because he can feel it tingling in his nose, and then he takes a few breaths in and half the time it disappears, which just makes him annoyed because it’s dissatisfying. When he does sneeze, though, he does it in the crook of his elbow and it’s the sound of a dog sneeze: ffsssshhh, except a little deeper in sound. Then he says “bless me” afterwards, just in case no one else says it. Whilst he doesn’t have allergies, it’s often dust that will cause him to sneeze.

DOES YOUR MUSE SNORE? IF SO, WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE? Not a lot. If he’s exceptionally tired, then he might, but it’s not something he does all the time. I’d say since he gained a little bit of weight, he snores more often than he would have when he was skin and bones, but it’s not an every night thing. It’s only if he’s dead tired. If he does, it’s not awfully loud.

WHAT DO THEIR HICCUPS SOUND LIKE? Pretty average. Nothing particularly special or noticeable when he does. It’s just a normal huch sound. It’s enough to know it’s a hiccup.

DO THEY STRUGGLE OR GRUNT WHEN THEY STAND? He grunts when he stands, or makes a hnnngg sound as he gets up from a low position (from the ground to a stand), but his bones are in pretty good shape. They don’t crack just yet, he’s fairly well trained when it comes to movement and using his body in the correct way. If he’s standing from sitting on a chair, he generally doesn’t make any noise–or if he’s in a professional setting.

WHAT KINDS OF NOISES DOES YOUR MUSE MAKE AS THEY’RE WAKING UP? It would depend on why he’s waking. If he’s in the comfort of his own bed, he will stretch and make a long groan as he feels his bones and muscles stretch and unwind from his sleep. He will also yawn at an average level–nothing overly dramatic or silent. If he’s waking up in a camp where there’s others around (or in danger) he’s a lot quieter. If he wakes in the middle of the night to danger, then he’s dead quiet and still so he can hear what is going on.

DO THEY VOCALISE DURING A BATTLE? IF SO, WHAT KIND OF SOUNDS DO THEY MAKE? He will make grunts and groans and hisses, particularly if he’s in close quarters with someone. If he gets struck, he will seethe more than yell. The only time he will yell is if he’s commanding orders or if someone gets injured/downed. Other than that, most of the noises are grunts and hisses. If he’s sparring with someone, he’s likely to make idle chatter with them in hopes that it will make them less concentrated on what he’s planning to do.

(IF APPLICABLE) ARE THEY LOUD OR QUIET IN BED? Kaaras is a shy person, so he often starts out very quiet, but communication is also exceptionally important to him during moments of intimacy. He wants his lover to know that they��re doing the right things, so he will softly moan at the start or make his pleasure known with soft breaths and words. When he’s more comfortable, he’s the kind of person who grows louder in volume over time. He’s definitely not a screamer during sex, but he has known to be quite vocal when he gets closer to climax. Long, audible moans, whimpers and groans. It also entirely depends on what role he is taking. If he’s the more dominant one, then it’s more grunts and groans, if he’s the more submissive one, it’s more moans and whimpers. He is vocal in the sense that he will ask for more and say his lover’s name and a number of other things during lovemaking.

HOW DO YOU NEED TO BE LOVED?

Casually, the same way you love to breathe

You want someone who will see your favourite flower and will give it to you, without even thinking about it. You want someone who will remember all the little details about you, the things so seemingly unimportant but that matter more than you thought they did. You want someone who will still be there, thirty years down the line, holding your hand while the two of you do two separate things. You want the intimacy of being known by someone who makes you feel safe. You don't want expensive dinners or grand proposals. You want someone who will love you consistently.

What drew you to writing your current character(s)?

Random asks || always accepting

Honestly, all I can say is hyperfixation is the reason why I do any of the things that I love. When I hyperfixate, it's usually for the long run. I've been writing particular characters for ever a decade, and I still love expressing them through writing or art. Sometimes they do go away for a little while, but the ones that I REALLY love end up coming back to me always. There's particular muses that just hold a very important place in my heart for MANY reasons, whether that's been because I've learned a lot about myself through them or they've helped me express my own traumas, or simply because I feel connected to them in one way or another (or I like seeing them happy).

But when it all comes down to it, it's because it's a way for me to express my creativity, and the world around me. Some of them come by a complete surprise, such as my Inquisitor Kaaras Adaar, or Sornin here. I never intended to write them and see them grow, but as I played the games, they did grow on me. With Kaaras, he came at a very dark time in my life, and allowed me to enjoy it and become creative again, when Sornin, it just seemed like an opportunity I couldn't miss by allowing him to develop more and more, and other past muses I've had (and still write), they're honestly just so embedded in a part of who I am creatively, that I'll never let them go.

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion. || Accepting

I’m tired of elves. Like real tired of elves ( Yes, I’m rping with some amazing muses that are elves right now. I am well aware).

 I know people who have made a DA verse (Well before I jumped in) and made their muse an elf. Why? Why the sudden race shift? And to be clear because some might look at me and be like, “Why a Qunari?!” Ras originally is a demon spawn. Not to say Qunari are demons or even on that same level, but the mistrust, fear, and general opinions of them are shared so it made sense that in the World of Thedas Ras would be a Qunari, and I went Avvar as it leaned towards his barbarian origin. Simple as that. Ras is only human in verses where him being himself doesn’t make sense and other racial options just aren’t there. Like Fallout for example. 

But, back on topic here. Thedas has humans so I was confused why everyone just needed to be a damn elf, then it became clear...they wanted minority points.

They wanted to feel better because they were rping their character the mirrors a minority and that gave them some sort of brownie points? Like they magically were getting some insight into what it was like to be a marginalized person?

Like this wasn’t because elves are prettier, it’s because they are the abused people of the game and that you rping one makes you woke and edgy. So yeah I’m tired of elves. 

And don’t get me wrong I’m sure some people just made their OC an elf because that’s just what they were. But if I don’t feel like so many are just used to be a social justice tool.

Having an emotionally compromised character, or one with untreated trauma has really gotten a bad wrap. 

And I get why. It’s often poorly written, or worse it’s a mun who is writing too close to home and can’t separate themselves from the muse. And maybe I’m crazy here, but I feel like if a muse isn’t on the up and up now there is this hesitation to interact with them. Everyone wants a muse who is completely woke, aware of their emotions and issues and just perfect and well adjusted. That chance for growth has passed and it’s all the sunshine and rainbows.

Which is fine, not everyone muse can be a hot mess! Also, you make a character first and not a trope. That’s the goal at least. But I feel like muses who are rough around the edges struggle because they aren’t easy. 

I hope I’m making sense over here.
