#oc: Seren Surana

[whisperingdusk]

Forgive Yourself.

This one has been in the WIP’s since I played Dragon Age Origins two years ago, of my warden Seren Surana meeting the illusion of Jowan in her trials in the Temple of Sacred Ashes, filled with grief for the friend she failed. With Dragon Age 4 just around the corner, now is the time for my DAO character to start flooding my brain, of course. Returning Dragon Age fans, it’s good to see you all!

Starry Starry Night - Akiko Valentina constantly wished that she’d take that advice to heart for once in her life. Growing up, it seemed like every wish she’d make would come true. Life should’ve been a breeze… and it was for a while. Her family had won the lottery a few years ago, along with her mother’s seaweed gin distillery taking off which brought the Valentina Family even more fortune. Classes would be cancelled, boys asked her to the dance, her favourite TV shows would suddenly be back even when they were cancelled whenever she seemed to will it. Though, like a bad 90s kids horror series, there was always a cruel twist at the end.

Now living alone in the penthouse apartment her now dead family’s fortune got her, Akiko spends her free time overindulging herself in luxury, to distract herself from the dark. Things had gotten stale after two years of spoiling herself rotten.

“I wish something would happen in my boring life.”

One night, she’s approached by a stranger on the way home from partying…

Eidolons and Eudaemonia -Eudaimonia is a world where each country worships a particular element. Each country has a temple and a candle that must be lit at all times to prevent a calamity. Its said that the candles represent hope, the one thing that kept ‘humanity’ going after the first calamity. Every few centuries, new candles must be created and infused with magic and blessings from each country before being placed in the temples and lit. It’s a ritual that has been carried on long before the formation of the Church of the Star Bringer, which eventually took control of candle duties.

[faejilly]

every odd number for the OC questionaiire, with a different OC for as many of the numbers as you have. if you run out, use canon characters you have made your own~

oh my gosh nonny.  THIS IS VERY LONG. OBVIOUSLY.

1. What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? 

I wanted to make a DAO character who actually fit into the narrative/lore, rather than the more palatable from an outside-perspective rebel type. Someone who believed in the establishment, in Chantry doctrine, who was a normal human, in terms of the politics as they were described by the game. (You couldn’t really be “normal” with the origin choices though, so I ended up with Coraline Amell, human disaster.)

She turned into a terrifying angry force of nature, because honestly, you take someone who believes in the rules of the world around them, and surround them with inept blood mages and Circle politics and a failed Templar who jokes about being a bastard royal, heretics and apostates and assassins and murderers and literal actual monsters, and supposedly she has to be OKAY WITH ALL THESE TERRIBLE PEOPLE OR THE WORLD WILL END?!? FUCK ALL OF YOU.

3. How did you choose their name?

I let Thing 1 name my first mabari, who was Widget after one of his favorite picture books at the time. Ingva Brosca’s mabari was Scabbler, after a mining tool. Daryn, Adelaide Hawke’s mabari, is from Patricia Brigg’s The Hob’s Bargain. The source character in that one dies too soon, so I enjoy how mabari-Daryn lives to a ripe old age and has many many puppies post-game. The Dark is Rising/King Arthur’s dog.

Tisala Hawke’s name is from Patricia Brigg’s Dragon Bones/Dragon Blood (Hurog duology), though source material Tisala would despise Hawke Tisala, which is appropriate on several levels, if kind of sad. Hurog (Aeducan) is also from the same set of books, and exemplifies everything that has ever been terrible about the historical Hurog family, so that was me amusing myself yet again.

5. Is there any significance behind their hair color?

Ingva Brosca’s hair is brown. Her eyes are brown, her skin is brown, her clothes tend towards brown… I really wanted to make someone who looked a lot like Rica (because Ingva looks a lot like Rica), whom everyone emphasizes is eye-catching and attractive, but who could legitimately fade into every background, who would look the part of every negative Duster joke ever told, and yet is actually really lovely once you stop and look at her.

7. Is there any significance behind their height?

Erana Lavellan is tall for an elf, almost raw-boned and sparse, not at all delicate. She’s basically the same height as Blackwall,, both because I enjoy them being the same height for aesthetic/battle couple/thematic reasons *eye-to-eye and hip-to-hip* and also because it adds to how disconcerting she is for most people who meet her as Herald/Inquisitor. She’s clearly Very Dalish, and yet not at all what most people think of as “elfy” in their heads.

9. Are they based off of you, in some way?

Probably all of them are, in some ways, and none of them in others? Like, that’s a cop-out, but I never know how to answer that one. (I mean, as part of #11, I do tend to always use echoes of my own sexuality in most of my characters, just because I seldom see anyone in fiction approaching sexuality the way I do... maybe I’m still trying to figure out mine while I’m at it? Something like that.)

11. Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation?

I’m gonna cheat and not put a person here, because basically all my OC’s are various degrees of bi, except for, oddly enough, my two most recent tabletop PnP RPG characters, (Kaylani Seren, Star Wars Pilot, and Shan Xia, angry cursed selkie), who are both lesbians.

Probably because of how much @darthkrzysztof and  I tend to “joke” that lesbians make everything better?

13. How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all?

Well, Miri Hawke’s entire fic-life/inspiration is past canon? She is Princess of Starkhaven with an unofficial semi-secret second husband in Fenris. They’re a pretty happy and stable triad, though they are (mostly) careful that their first child is Sebastian’s to avoid inheritance issues. (Later, their twins have green eyes, which rather gives it away to anyone who didn’t already know, since Miri’s are brown and Sebastian’s are infamously blue.)

15. What is something about your OC can make you laugh?

Cherries!

(aka the Adelaide Hawke/Sebastian Vael first time having sex fic for the kinkmeme... it was like, only the second thing I’d written for them, too? Adelaide Hawke exists because the kinkmeme was full of really sad and disturbing Sebastian prompts/fills when I first found it and I wanted SOMEONE TO LOVE HIM. Romantically. I mean, yes, physically too obviously I’ve written a lot of smut-fic, but the original inspiration was just that I liked the character and no one else I knew at the time seemed to.)

17. Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story?

Hmm. Neria Surana started with And/rs reminiscing after her death but then I wrote some earlier fic for her and had feels and she really deserved better than to be pre-emptively doomed. (Sorry Niall, you did too.)

19. What is your favorite fact about your OC?

Ella Shepard exists because of Ellen Ripley, even if she’s two or three incarnations removed from my very first vanguard Ellen playthrough of ME1, oh so many years ago.

[noire-pandora]

3&8 from the cute character asks for whoever you’d like

Hey, thanks for the ask!

3.What is your OC’s favourite kind of weather? Do they like watching it rain? Do they prefer a gentle sunshine? How would they spend the day with this weather?

Elluin Lavellan likes hot weather. The hottest, the better. No rain, no wind, just the hot air everywhere. She would just sit on the ground and sunbathe. Maybe drawing or reading but mostly just looking around and enjoying the sun.

Arissa Surana loves the spring weather. Not too hot but not too cold, when all the flowers are in bloom and the nature comes back to life. She would take long walks, observing every plant and animal.

Ase Adaar loves winter. She loves snow and the serene feelings it gives her. Ase would spend it outside, just strolling around in the snow, maybe having one or two snow fights

8.What little nice things does your OC do for others? Do they keep any of them secret?

Elluin Lavellan likes to share a drink and listen to people when they are upset. She can feel when someone isn’t ok and she just randomly asks them to have a drink. She won’t pressure them to talk but she will make sure to let them know she is there for them.

Arissa Surana likes to buy small things for the others like their favourite sweets or small trinkets and randomly offer it to them just to see them smile.

Ase Adaar makes sure everyone has enough contact with their families. If a soldier complains about missing their family she would make sure to bring the family to Haven/Skyhold and allow them to spend a bit of time together. 

[red-wardens]

🖊+Blue, 🖊+Shepard, 🖊+Ronan

Blue Surana

(thank you again for these amazing screenshots of my girl)

Back in the Circle, Blue didn’t have any friends. She mostly spent time with the Tranquil, liking their quiet and their straight-forward way of speaking. She felt more at peace with them than with her classmates. 

Some of the Tranquil even used to help her cut her hair, not always very well- and not at all stylishly- but usually at least very straight and neat which she appreciated. Sometimes they would accidentally cut it too short and she would be mistaken for a boy for a month or two. She never minded, and responded to he/him pronouns just the same. She never really understood the concept of ‘gender’ and it was never important to her. ——-

Nicole Shepard

Her face claim is Pilar Cruz. Nicole is Earthborn from Cagayan, Philippines and for her, the hardest part about adjusting to life in Alliance Navy was how damn cold space was. She always wore extra layers in Basic Training, causing her to almost overheat more than once. When they defeat the Reapers, she and hubby Garrus Vakarian - a Turian and thus fellow hater of cold weather- retire somewhere warm because it’s what they DESERVE.

——Ronan Aeducan

ft Face Claim: Dev Patel

Is a bit in denial for a few weeks after Trian was killed. He was never the biggest fan of his older brother but, Ancestors, that was his brother. There were days in the Deep Roads where he was sure he’d heard Trian’s voice or glimpsed his shadow, his serene countenance just a facade while internally he was sweating and ready to flee. Finally seeing Trian’s ghost in the First Trial of the Sacred Ashes mission was too much. Ronan had never shed a tear for his brother before, but he broke down to his knees in quiet sobs. He didn’t get to pass through to the next Trial with the other Wardens because he hadn’t come to terms yet with the guilt, that what had happened hadn’t been his fault. 

————

thanks for the ask!!!

send me a “ 🖊 “ + an OC to hear a small blurb about an OC!

[dirthara-mama]

OC asks! - 20, 5, 35, 29! (For the OC of your choosing)

Oh oh! Myriani Surana Time! Thank you for these!

5. do they like nature? if they do, what’s their favorite natural setting (woods, beach, desert, lake, etc.)?

Myri doesn’t hate nature, but she prefers the comforts of a city. When she first left the circle, she couldn’t get enough of the outdoors. But the novelty faded after so many darkspawn. If she had to choose, a serene lake would be most appealing.

20. what would their dream vacation look like?

A beach. A drink. A lavish place to stay. Preferably not far from shopping. Orlais very fun for her.

29. what’s their sexual orientation?

Myri is straight, but polyamorous (I know that’s not an actual orientation, but it does affect her romantic/sexual relationships.

She marries Alistair a year or so after the 5th Blight. They were both virgins before meeting, and I don’t think Myri accepted her polyamory immediately. After her coronation to Warden Commander, when Alistair had to go to Orlais, she had a serious discussion with him about opening the relationship. It was a long and difficult talk. But they are both free to see other people and develop love for someone else. 

35. what is their “morning ritual”?

-Glass of water

-Whatever skincare in Thedas is (I’m an esthetician, so I should develop this actually. I’m glad I got this ask): cleanse, anti-aging treatment, moisturize

-Take out her braid and brush out her miles of hair

-Have breakfast: coffee, usually fruit and eggs.

[hamingo]

14 & 15 for all your DA OCs!

All of them hooo boy! I’d like to apologize for my answers getting progressively shorter I’m getting tired haha

14. Which form would the fear demon take to scare your character?

Neria Surana- Her, but still tranquillized. Plus she’s still not good at handling emotions so that scenario is… not good. Let Neria be happy and healthy and safe 2k18.Jaydin Amell- I’m gonna say abomination Connor. Because even though he’s safe now, Jaydin still considers that his biggest failure, it’s always haunting him how he could have done better. And abomination Connor would probably turn into abomination Jaydin. Because that’s always a huge fear too.Anise Tabris- Answered!Natalia Trevelyan- I’ve thought a lot about her, and honestly I think for Natalia the nightmare demon knows it isn’t what she sees that scares her, it’s what she doesn’t see. For the entire sequence in the fade there, I decided that she can’t see Kelley, but she can hear him, screaming and in pain, always just out of reach.Kelley- I think the demon would change forms with Kelley, and each time he sees it would be a different person who’s taken advantage of him. Because his fear is that they’ll come back and he’ll never be able to escape them or the past.Sarya Adaar- I’m actually not sure. Damn.Cyran Lavellan- I haven’t really thought about him either. Something to do with the clan, or his Mom or Dad or sister probably.

15. Who is your character’s most trusted friend?Neria Surana- Jaydin, Leliana, Jowan. Jaydin and Jowan from the circle and Leliana comes later.Jaydin Amell- Neria, Leliana, Morrigan, Jowan, and also all of my friend’s wardens (Seren Kelsa and Deyrion!) He’s very trustingAnise Tabris- Her best friend in-game was Zevran. Definitely him. They’re bros for life, no doubt about it.Natalia Trevelyan- Kelley, her brother, Sera, her gf, or Blackwall. Although he lied to her about his identity, she also lied to him about the same thing, so they’re even. Also Paige’s Inquisitor Ar’ien.Kelley- Natalia, of course. Also, he would give Josephine his entire life. Aaaand my friend’s inquisitor Saleri, and also Paige’s OC Valynne.Sarya Adaar- Well, Cyran. He’s her best friend and her bf and she loves him so so much. Also, Vivienne became like a mother to her and so there’s that too.Cyran Lavellan- Answered!

[sasskarian]

Oc question: what are you doing to stay entertained while in pandemic isolation?

[Isera and Ethelan Lavellan, Marian Hawke, Iviani Lavellan, Valira Surana, Sara Ryder, and Iolana Shepard sit behind a long table]

Iolana: Well. The... closest thing we’ve had to a pandemic is that time someone brought scale itch to the Normandy. Otherwise, trips get long even on my ship, so. Games, mostly. Reading. 

Marian: Or seducing the nearest pretty alien? 

Iolana: [serenely] Just the two that are mine.

Sara: Games for sure. Movie night gets a lot of traction, too. 

Ethelan: I’d be losing my mind. Cards on the table, there is just not enough Wicked Grace or pranking to get through that.

Resting By The Fire

[thenugking]

Hi! Um, odd question to spring on you out of the blue, but if all your Wardens got together in a pub somewhere, how would they all get on?

Griffon, Mahariel and Orlena are Too Autistic for this shit and find a quiet corner to escape to. They end up having a good conversation about the stress of the Blight and of other people’s expectations and Griffon ends up asking Mahariel and Orlena some stuff about Daish and Circle culture they want to know but have been awkward asking about. In return, Mahariel asks Griffon about some noble stuff he doesn’t get. Griffon doesn’t get it either. Neither does Orlena. They complain about nobles.

Meanwhile Lorrel is adopting Everyone, whether they like it or not. Vari likes it a lot because this is essentially her grandmother and she’s really cool, and Seren’s really excited about having a city elf declare that she’s family now. She wants to know Everything about life in an alienage, which Vari and Lorrel kind of agree is “it sucks but also we’re the Greatest, and will fight anyone else who says it sucks.”

Elora tells Lorrel she doesn’t need or want a grandmother, or any family. In between mocking her little brother Thosk for all his shitty life choices. Which Thosk takes, because okay fair he has made some really shitty life choices. But some of the rest of you must have made shitty choices too right??? Isaline agrees that yes, she did. She’s not going to go into it. Mags says she did everything wrong, which Isaline and Lorrel tell her they’re sure isn’t true. Mihren says humans deserve what they get. Lacha isn’t comparing her mistakes to some fucking dwarven noble’s, and would prefer not to speak to Elora or Thosk at all actually. 

Annabeth is…… not going to be doing at all well considering she did a lot of Terrible Things in the pursuit of stopping the Blight Whatever The Cost, at the knowledge that 13 other people were able to stop the Blight without being fucking terrible about it. But if we’re being nice, we can have pre-dead family and Blight Annabeth, who is incredibly down to party and hang out with all this fun new people and hey do any of them want to make out maybe?? Therlia has no objections to that.

Mags is very shy and awkward, and Lacha, who doesn’t want to be here at all and sees no reason to hang out with these people, sighs and starts talking to her. She tells Mags a lot of stuff about her life and her own feelings on leadership and People, and ends up giving Mags some blunt but very helpful advice. Mags isn’t sure whether or not Lacha likes her at all (she does).

Therlia, Isaline and Mihren end up having a very deep discussion about how terrible Circles are and the stuff they suffered there. Seren tells them her girlfriend was made Tranquil but would prefer to go back to talking to her City Elf friends instead of saying more about it. After a while of just talking about her abusive templar ex, Isaline lets slip his name. Therlia and Mihren are very quick to agree that yeah, Cullen Rutherford is the fucking worst. Seren looks back over and vehemently agrees. Orlena approaches the main table for the first time that night to tell everyone that yeah that guy’s a massive creep. No one else likes him either.

So tl;dr there are some disagreements and then everyone bands together to talk about how much they hate cullen rutherford

[thenugking]

How was the Mage origins story for any of your mage OCs in DA origins? Did your oc/s make any choices that you didn't expect while in the Fade?

I mean during the origins I try not to expect much of my characters bc I’m still getting a handle on them, but my latest mage, Seren, was pretty fun and not willing to stick to how the plot was Meant to be done. She went into the Fade with a mindset of “if I trust anything here a demon or more likely the templars will kill me, everything is demons and i’m going to fight them” and was Immediately distrusting of Mouse and very unsurprised when he turned out to be a demon. She killed the spirit of valour and was entirely unwilling to make a deal with Sloth. I figure Mouse kind of went “uhhh she beat you so teach me how to be a bear now??” which just reinforced Seren’s suspicions that he was a demon. And then she woke up and immediately accused Jowan of being a demon too.

Seren’s origin was different from the rest of my circle mage wardens in that she super wanted to get out of the tower and was very enthusiastic about the idea of joining the Wardens and gave Duncan some very unsubtle hints that Maybe He Could Recruit Her Perhaps. (Therlia was intrigued but cautious, Mihren felt bitterly resigned to never leaving the Circle and was too pessimistic to Try and Isaline and Orlena wanted to stay.) When Duncan said he took all responsibility for her actions, she checked he meant that, and then immediately punched Greagoir in the face.

And ofc the biggest difference for Seren is her ex-girlfriend Ginny, who was made Tranquil a year before Origins and who Seren still desperately loves and does her best to look out for. Seren wasn’t as close to Jowan as most of my other mage Wardens, but him going “hey please help or they’ll make me Tranquil and I couldn’t Bear losing my love for my girlfriend” gave her a big motivation to help him.
