#no seriously i love spending hours just looking for them in skyhold and got really excited when the cutscenes trigger

[tethrarisms]

Unpopular (maybe?) opinion but I wouldn't mind spending days on end just talking and doing small missions for my Dragon Age companions. They're so meaningful to me, I enjoy their banters and relationships even further than any combat and/or map exploring.

OC Interview Meme

I was tagged by @anarchyduck, thank you!

I’m tagging @szczypiorku, @sssamson and anyone else who wants to do it ^^

I’ll do the interview for my newest DA:I OC, Ailis! :D

1.       What is your name?

“Ailis Trevelyan.”

2.       What is your real name?

Her eyes narrow. “I know what you’re asking, and no I’m not telling you, that name is dead to me. If you really wanna know, go look up some registry of House Trevelyan or whatever.”

3.       Do you know why you were called that?

She smiles. “Not many people get to choose their own name, you’re all missing out on how wonderful it is. After I left home, I was taken in by a Chantry sister in Ferelden. She told me of her mentor, Mother Ailis, who aided King Maric during the rebellion against the Orlesians, and later tutored his son, the Prince. She sounded like the most remarkable woman, and I wanted to be like her, so I chose the name Ailis for myself.”

4.       Are you single or taken?

“Taken by the best scout I’ve ever met, she taught me everything I know about scouting and showed me so much more about life, I owe her so much.”

5.       Have any abilities or powers?

She smirks. “I can hit the bulls eye of any target anywhere with my arrows before you’ve even found your bearings.”

6.       What’s your eye color?

“Kind of a light amber? Well, my left one anyway, as you can see, my right eye is very pale, it’s nearly blind.”

7.       How about your hair color?

“Black, runs in the family. Well except that one weird uncle I rarely meet, we all used to gossip that he was the stable master’s kid really,” she trails off into a chuckle.

8.       Have you any family members?

“Well the Trevelyan noble house is huge, I have more relatives than I can keep track of. But for my immediate family, there’s my parents and my younger sister... and brother.”

9.       Oh? What about pets?

“I have my beautiful girl of course! Never been a more clever scout mabari in all of Thedas!”

10.   That’s cool I guess, now tell me about something you don’t like.

“Oh there’s a lot of things I don’t like. Oppression, injustice, betrayal.. Oh, you mean like food? Red meat, can’t stand that stuff. Well, unless you cleverly hide it in a reeeeally good stew maybe..” 

11.   Do you have any hobbies/activities you like doing?

“I love reading books! Especially history books. Especially history books about Grey Wardens. Grey Wardens and thrilling heroics..” she looks away shyly, suddenly embarrassed.

12.   Ever hurt anyone before?

“Oh yes, but they all had it coming. You don’t hurt others, you got no problem with me.”

13.   Ever… killed anyone before?

“... when it’s necessary.”

14.   What kind of animal are you?

She looks perplexed. “I mean, I’d say I’m a human.. but if you’re asking me what animal I would want to be, definitely a griffon! Can you imagine that? Being able to soar through the skies, with strong talons to rip any threat apart.” She gets a dreamy look on her face. “Well I guess it’s almost the same as a dragon I suppose. But griffons are fluffier!”

15.   Name your worst habits.

“Aside from always trusting the wrong people? I don’t know, I tap the table or tree or whatever I’m sitting next to quite a lot, apparently that annoys people.” She suddenly realises she’s been tapping the table for the whole interview and looks at her hand. “-oh! Sorry!”

16.   Do you look up to anyone at all?

“I look up to Mother Ailis a lot, as I mentioned before. And the Grey Wardens, I really want to be as brave and heroic as them. And since joining the Inquisition I’ve met plently of new people I look up to, there’s the Inquisitor, and of course my beautiful Lace, I hope to be as good a scout as her someday.”

17.   Sexuality?

“Bisexual!”

18.   Do you go to school?

“Well not since I was 18. Also I kind of don’t live at home anymore, haha. But I miss learning, our teacher was such an enthusiastic person. We used to get into hour long discussions about some historical figure or another..” she gets a wistful look in her eyes.

19.   Do you ever want to marry and have kids one day?

“I’m not sure I would ever be ready to raise a kid, but I would like to marry one day I think.”

20.   Do you have any fanboys/fangirls?

“I had this stable boy follow me around for two whole years back at the Trevelyan estate. He always kept asking me questions about everything I did and learned, almost a bit too disrespectfully when talking to a noble, but that never bothered me. I think he wanted to be like me?”

21.   What are you afraid of?

“Betrayal. It’s my biggest fear. I’m so afraid of trusting people, anyone at all, because I’m terrified of being betrayed again.. going through that pain again.”

22.   What do you usually wear?

“Some good leathers always go a long way! Slim trousers and some leather armour is perfect for scouting, none of that big clunky metal armour to slow me down.”

23.   Do you love someone?

“Yes,” she smiles. “Never thought I would dare again, but Lace showed me that I can still trust people after all of this, and I am always grateful for that.”

24.   When was the last time you wet yourself?

“Excuse me? What kind of interview is this? How is it even relevant? Anyway, I can’t remember any time I have actually.”

25.   Well, it’s not over yet!

“Please be over soon, though.”

26.   What class are you? (High class, middle class, low class)

“I used to be a noble. Then I was homeless and living off scraps. Now I’m doing well enough with a job and a home in Skyhold, so I’d say I’ve been part of every class at this point,” she laughs.

27.   How many friends do you have?

“A few. Less than I used to, but more than I thought I could have again.”

28.   What are your thoughts on pie?

“I love pie! Oh please say you have a pie hidden somewhere! You can’t just specifically mention pies and not have one for me!”

29.   Favorite drink?

“Tea, it’s so calming. A nice, strong smokey black tea, it makes any foul day better.”

30.   What’s your favorite place?

“A library. Any library really, but the one back home was the nicest one. It has a cozy little reading nook and candles everywhere, oh I could spend hours in there.”

31.   Are you interested in someone?

“I have all I need right here, why would I be interested in anything else?”

32.   What’s your bra cup size and/or how big is your willy?

She gets thrown off by the question, and then she glares. “You are lucky I agreed to this interview by insistence from Josephine, or I would punch you in the face. I suggest you steer away from questions like this, or this interview is over.”

33.   Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean?

“Both are fine, the ocean is pretty cold though, so I prefer lakes.”

34.   What’s your type?

“I don’t have a type.. I think?”

35.   Any fetishes?

“Yes, it’s called How about you stop asking invasive questions?”

36.   Top or Bottom? Dominant or Submissive?

“Seriously, I’m warning you.”

37.   Camping or indoors?

“Indoors. I like being out in nature, but the indoors is much more comfortable. Not to mention all the damage the outdoors does to my books.”

38.   Are you wanting the interview to end?

“Please tell me it’s over.”

39.   Now it’s over!

“Oh, thank the Maker.”
