#oc: are'veia

[clavicuss-vile]

oh lord so ive just had a thought about the divine ascension in my worldstate. Leliana becomes divine because it's important for future plot reasons but I made a post about a year ago about how much Atlas and Are'veia, 2 out of the 3 inquisitiors do NOT trust her. There's not a chance in hell they would have supported her becoming divine.

Aurelie trusts Leliana more than Cassandra and Vivienne on account of them both relying on and utilising the Templars

Are'veia trusts Vivienne more than Leliana and Cass because she isn't devoutly chantry, and her worst experiences have been with the Chantry as opposed to the Templars themselves like Aurelie.

Atlas doesnt trust ANY of them as far as he can throw them but he'd back Viv on account of Are'veia vouching for her.

i fucking loooooove the politics of the inner inquisiton because on all accounts it is SO dysfunctional and absolutely doomed to collapse. That's 2 out of 3 inquisitors that would have loudly vouched for Vivienne and denounced Leli and Cass, but Leliana becomes divine despite. Really adds some more salt to the wound that is their relationship with her.

btw if anyone has any questions abt them pls pls fire them into my inbox i would love to waffle about the politics and psuedopolitics of my inner circle

[clavicuss-vile]

really really torn with what to do with my girl are'veia. shes a solasmancer (poor thing) but keeps her vallaslin and goes HEAVY on the "nah. kill him. kill him." super super protective of mages and elves. patron god is elgar'nan and it SHOWS. and like--- she has a little girl- havent particularly worked out the exact timeline yet but she ends up with solas' child and. i dont know what to DO with her after they breakup/during&post trespasser. i know she goes back to her clan so,,,,,

[clavicuss-vile]

need to figure out what aurelie's wicked eyes wicked hearts mask would be. i know Atlas' is a winding tree design, are'veia's is based on halla with emphasis on very sharp features (eyes, teeth, horns). what would aurelie's beeeeeeee

[clavicuss-vile]

yk. fuckin actually. in a weird turn of events are'veia and atlas might end up trusting cullen the most out of the advisors (minus josie. everyone loves josie). because- he's ex templar, immediate red flag bad books, and everything he says and does, red flag. they do not LIKE him. BUT. Leliana and cass were quite literally left and right hand of the DIVINE. the divine that was considering an exalted march on kirkwall. the divine that allowed and expected the templars to do their cruelty? not to mention cass is a seeker which is like the one group the templars fear and would listen to, and not once did she use this to keep the templars in check. aurelie would be FAR more hesitant with him because she's from a circle but the dalish kids probably blame the chantry more than the actual templar order

[clavicuss-vile]

i have so many thoughts about leliana and my inquisition crew. the only inquisitor who actually trusts her is aurelie and thats only because the other options are templar and seeker. she gets softened but only because atlas is like "you are NOT answering every problem with violence". hes in direct contact with the hero of ferelden who is in contact with the queen and princess (who is the ex of leliana). na'ava is sat in denerim like "did she do that to get back at me". leliana is sat in skyhold like "did she do that to get back at me". she becomes divine because to atlas shes the best of a bunch of terrible options (hates cass and viv) (the gals like viv but none of them get on with cass). they make briala the ruler over puppet emperor gaspard because of elven loyalty, and it's an accidental side benefit that thats who leliana would prefer ruling. anora and na'ava get word in denerim that the inquisition has just made gaspard (ferelden warmongerour) emperor and theyre both like WHAT is leliana PLAYING AT. IS SHE DOING THIS TO GET BACK AT US (shes not. wasn't even her call)

the shock horror has just hit me that when i get round to playing through dai properly with my quizzies im going to have to be mean to morrigan. i love her my surana loves her but my lavellans do NOT. who is this shem and why does she want our history absolutely not

[clavicuss-vile]

what is it with dragon age and making me question all of my character decisions. I need to start Arë'veia and Aurélie's playthroughs in inquisition so theyre all doing things at roughly the same time (3 inquisitor thingsss <3) but. ive always had Arë'veia in my head as a dual-wield rogue but now that im replaying DA2 fenris has me believing in the supremacy of tiny elf massive sword. ive never played a warrior im always a squishy mage. i need to look into this. maybe look at what weapons/armors are available for each type

[clavicuss-vile]

so because i have 3 inquisitors each with the mark (together), i’m really wondering what to do regarding the Loss of Arm. It could be a case of they all lose the arm but that feels a little stale, so now im wondering which one has more narrative weight for losing their arm. Originally it was my Trevelyan, but i think one of the lavellans (are’veia, solas’s lover, devotee of elgar’nan who vows to display every aspect of revenge and protection in his sphere to protect her people from The Dread Wolf, or atlas, who saw solas as a father and wanted to redeem him to the end.)

[clavicuss-vile]

more weapon/armor notes bc im so bad at remembering things, this time including the rogues/warriors! of which there are only two rip can you tell im a mage player

Ara'kian Surana - (Mage) - Armor = Mage Warden Armor / Weapon = Silver staff of violation design

Cywren Tabris - (Rogue) - Armor = Kirkwall exports leather armor / Weapon = Dual Daggers

Solace Hawke - (Mage) - Armor = Heavy Velvet Robes / Weapon = Staff of Parlathan

Atlas Mahariel "Lavellan" - (Mage) - Armor = Dalish Scout Armor (female variant) / Weapon = Crafted staff similar to Freedom's Promise

Arë'veia Isa'Cinnanain "Lavellan" - (Rogue) - Armor = Crafted Antaam-Saar / Weapon = Edge of Vengeance & The Snake Blade/Knightslayer

Aurélie Trevelyan - (Mage) - Armor = Masterwork battlemage armor / Weapon = Masterwork Archon Staff

[clavicuss-vile]

i think. i think im going to stick with fenris romance because Solace goes through absolute THICK AND THIN with anders and stands by him completely all the way till (and after) the end, and i think we need some good old ride or die "i would destroy everything ive known for you" platonic love like that.

[clavicuss-vile]

am i considering making ocs for most of the inquisition love interests? maybe.
