#oc: ferian lavellan

[creatures-and-doodles]

Being the current savior of the world is a taxing endeavor, and I firmly believe my Lavellan would take any moment he was left alone for more than five minutes to power nap.

Ex Inquisitor Ferian Lavellan, the Herald of Falon'Din, the One Who Lost it All. My skrunkly scrimblo.

[nocteleum]

Picked up the centaur!Ferian drawing and somehow more kids popped up while I re-did parts of the lineart? The clan has been busy :v

Ferian uses wrappings on the staff hand, he's not fond of calluses (and he's left-handed!).

This one kid will grow on the ears... Probably 👀

I ain't playing favorites but this girl is my favorite. I might make her a proper OC!

And idk why this kid makes me think of a young Solas?? Might be the haircut? 🤷🏽

Bonus: the part of the drawing I started painting! There's something v tender about having a friendly rump to rest your head on

OC Associations: Ferian Lavellan

Ferian is what happens when you treat the Dread Wolf as the son you never had and then things go Very Wrong :))) I could explain my choices but it would turn into a big ol lore ramble, but it all boiled down to ✨vibes ✨ (and forcing myself to work with a limited color palette)

[creatures-and-doodles]

Going crazy thinking about Ferian and his doomed fate, and how he was so consumed by his own grief and loss and overwhelmed by Everything That Was Happening (with him right at the center of all of that).

How he was so desperate for any sliver of familiarity he imprinted on Solas and took him in as his own kin because he seemed as lost as himself, and chose to ignore the signs. Even when the signs pointed that something was Very Wrong. Because the world was still ending, and he was now lifted and reduced to a symbol of hope - despite his growing despair and hopelessness.

His world was ending and Dread was better company than grief (in the end it was all for nothing because Solas left anyway, and he faded away into a Grief.)

[fade-touched-shenanigans]

Me: screaming, crying, frothing at the mouth in rage because vallaslin is a pain to draw

Also me: but what if Falon’Din’s and Mythal’s together because pretty 🤡

[fade-touched-shenanigans]

My most neglected son being the first one to get a proper ref sheet? More likely than you’d think

Currently playing dress-up and designing him some casual clothing by mixing elven and traditional southern brazilian attire (aka gaucho). And, this is waaaay more fun than I thought it would be, as I generally suck at drawing clothing ;u;

So here’s my sadquisitor wearing a chiripá (a type of wrap-around pants) and toeless boots (traditionally made out of the hind leg of a horse’s hide). I have yet to come up with something to cover his torso, and a good color palette, and decide if I give him a proper guaiaca/belt and-

as always tumblr killed the resolution, click the image for a better view <3

WIP.. Saturday?

Been tagged Wednesday by the lovelies @emerald-amidst-gold​ and @oxygenforthewicked​ and didn’t had the time to post what I was working at on the day so here it is:

I’m working on my OC’s ref sheet, starting with Ferian Lavellan, my sad/tired dadquisitor 💖

[the-dreadful-canine]

I guess it's 🌟 Ferian hyperfixation time 🌟

Chose to sketch him (mostly) in grayscale, to actually enjoy drawing him instead of worrying about choosing the right colors and whatnot~

I still don't like drawing vallaslin 💕

I have half a mind to pretend Solas removed his vallaslin because SOLAS ALSO CARES ABOUT HIS ADOPTED FAMILY AND NOT ONLY FOR HIS LOVER OKAY

[the-dreadful-canine]

Thank you so much for tagging me @dungeons-and-dragon-age 🥰 in this picrew

Following the example, I'll drop some headcanons plus tag list under the cut 💖

Elizabeth

+ Has no preference for gender or race, being romanceable by everyone;

+ She can be found in the bakery and the library. After unlocking enough friendship, you can visit her garage and help her tinker with her bike;

+ Her approval can be raised by: talking about comic books and games, gifting sweets and bakery dates;

+ Gifts you a cool pebble she found on a hike when the friendship is maxed.

✨

Ornay Adaar

+ They are romanceable by any gender and race, but may offer more resistance to elves;

+ They are tricky to get a hold of, as they can only be found in the city pub during night time. Once enough friendship is earned, you get their number and Ornay can be invited over to hang out in your place;

+ Ornay' approval can be raised by: buying them drinks and shiny jewelry and once enough friendship is earned, talking about history (they're a secret nerd);

+ Will gift you a BFF pendant at max approval.

✨

Ferian Lavellan

+ Will romance any race, but only by men;

+ He can be found at the city park, bakery and the library. Paying a visit to his animal rescue is unlocked with a high friendship;

+ Ferian' approval can be raised by: showing cute animal videos and photos, showing interest in astronomy and nature-related dates;

+ Will gift you a batch of cookies at max friendship approval.

✨

What's in the bag?

So, I came across this picrew and I just had to do it! Modern au vibes, but what does your OCs bags tell about them?

Ferian Lavellan

His bag is a simple brown briefcase, worn but cared for; It doesn’t fit much, but he carries a couple personal items:

One pressed four-leaf clover wrapped in an old handkerchief, a lucky charm Ferian absolutely refuses to be parted with; He came across it three decades ago while on the way to his first date with the man he calls husband now;

Polaroids kept inside his wallet, featuring him an his loved ones: a toddler cuddling with halla fawns; a woman that looks like a younger version of him, doing her best to hold a fish as long as she is tall; Ferian and a dark haired elf wearing matching flower crowns, smiling at the camera;

An old camera he carries everywhere, “To photograph any cute dogs he comes across so he can show his husband later.”;

Besides the personal things, Ferian always carries:

A pack of cigs and a lighter he’s always losing. “Maybe that’s the All-Mother’s hand trying to take the vice out of me, but I’ve never been good at getting the hint…”;

A phone that spends more time on the floor than inside the bag or his hands. The screen is ruined nearly beyond repair but somehow still works, it’s used mainly for calls, because he never really got the hang of the rest of things. Would be a Candy Crush champ if he ever understood how the app store works;

A handful of pins, from places he’s been at;

Grape gum, home’s key, loose change, homemade orange and elfroot juice (“Gotta counterbalance the smoking!”) and the glasses he has no idea how never got crushed under all his things.

Tagging the crew if ya'll want to play!

WIP WEDNESDAY

Thanks for the tag @noire-pandora @emerald-amidst-gold @dungeons-and-dragon-age and @little-lightning-lavellan 💖

It's with great grief I announce that, by no fault but my own, my head is filled with clip clops.

I tried to write something but my brain only wanted to focus on centaurs.

*behold, friends, my current brainrot*

Clip clop Elizabeth

Clip Clop Ornay

And a sketch that run away from me with all its might and so will turn into a full-blown illustration: Clip clop Ferian Lavellan on babysitter duty on his clan (herd?). Drawing kids is HARD.

*This is the worst hand I've drawn this year. Shame.

*Elizabeth is a wild mustang, Ornay is a Rocky Mountain Horse, and Ferian and the bbys are Oryx gazelles 😌

[fade-touched-shenanigans]

Hello! 🪞 for Daria and Ferian please?? 👀

(Also there are never too many Lavellans! 😈)

Hiiii, thanks for enabling me to talk about my disaster children 💖

Daria Lavellan

Cynthia Erivo 'Stand Up' is Daria's theme. A mama bear (she's Adahlvher mom!) warrior by nature (and fighting style) and a devoted member from clan Lavellan, she'll do what she has to ensure the safety of all of her people, no matter the cost.

"I'm wadin' through muddy waters You know I got a made up mind And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die So I'm gonna stand up Take my people with me Together we are going To a brand new home Far across the river Can you hear freedom calling?”

Ferian Lavellan

My exhausted, overworked, sad dadquisitor <3 For him I choose Sea Wolf’s “Dear Fellow Traveler”, which is something he’d sing Solas after the betrayal if he ever starred in a Modern!AU The chorus is very good too, but the main song is like, ✨ perfection ✨ for his whole life situation

“Dear fellow traveler under the moon I saw you standing in the shadows and your eyes were blue You put your hand out, opened the door You said, "Come with me, boy, I want to show you something more”

You spoke my language and touched my limbs It wasn't difficult to pull me from myself again And in our travels, we found our roads You held it like a mirror, showing me the life I chose

Dear fellow traveler under the moon I think I'm growing weary and I'm hoping you'll come soon And if I see you in clean new clothes I hope you hold the mirror up to show me what I chose”

Thank you for coming to my blorbo talk <3

[the-dreadful-canine]

Hello! ❤ For the OC ask:

11. In what situation was your character the most afraid they’ve ever been?

41. Does your character feel that they deserve to have what they want, whether it be material or abstract, or do they feel they must earn it first?

(For all your OCs :D)

Hello hiiii!!! 💖

Thank for sending the ask this was incredibly fun to think about, and sorry for the delay, life's been a bit crazy :'D

This ended up long af because I am physically incapable of giving short answers <3

11. In what situation was your character the most afraid they’ve ever been?

ELIZABETH It was early on in her adventure, when she still thought herself kind of invincible (because [spoilers from ch5!] Fen'Harel himself can't lay harm to her due to their bargain, so she thinks if he can't hurt me, nothing else can, right?). Elizabeth believed that despite her rough landing, she now had everything in her favor, she has the knowledge of what's to come, knows the people who will join the future Inquisition, what could go wrong? But then! Everything goes wrong, there's Leliana's dagger to her throat (her fault) and a pissed-off Commander (her fault too) ready to lung at her, and Solas is the room doing shit-ass to stop them, there's magic gathered in her hands and she lets all them know she's never been to a Circle. She knows she fucked up badly, Cullen can and is willing to at least smite her ass to oblivion (and Fen'Harel' reverse-fursona is still not moving a single finger to help her), and she knew if a miracle didn't happen in the next three seconds, she was in for a very painful time.

ADAHLVHER LAVELLAN

The night Elizabeth nearly tackled him and his mom in her hurry, eyes wide shifting between amber and an eerie blue, the only words spilling from her mouth being a loop of Resilience's urgent, angry "We need to fucking hurry" and Elizabeth's whispered sobs of "I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry". It wasn't until the three of them, followed by Compassion and Solas were riding way into the night that her words started making sense, and then he almost wished she did not. By then he had enough of her uncanny accuracy to know better than to doubt it, and dread like no other gnawed further on his bones with each mile of snowy ground eaten by their hart's hooves. The clan was in danger. And it might be entirely too late to do anything but mourn.

ORNAY ADAAR It was during the final fight with Corypheus. Not because of the high af stakes, the weight of the saving the whole world now or never, the facing of the whole ass darkspawn guy. It was three seconds after Corypiss had been disposed of, and there was a very real, still wound up from the battle abomination/mage/dragon, with several bones to pick with them, currently staring them down with blood-lust in that unsettling glowing eyes of hers. The deed was done, the world was saved, the party was exhausted and definitely not ready to fight a dragon if Elizabeth wanted to end things then and there, to send them back to Andraste in a bite or two. And indeed, no one was fast enough or able to stop her from lunging, nor shaking them like a mabari's toy, or biting off their Maker damned whole Anchor arm. And the moment between accepting their gruesome end and wondering of she'd go at them them limb by limb, or show some mercy and be done with it was the worst, most terrifying ten seconds of their life.

FERIAN LAVELLAN Easily right after the fall of Haven, when he had to climb the mountain in a snowstorm, beaten to an inch of his life and depleted of mana. He would have given in to Despair in the tunnel, was it not for the Anchor flaring up and opening a rift. Survival instinct and a great deal of guilt for not even trying to go ahead, home to his husband were the only things putting his feet one in front of the other. He was afraid of many things that night. Afraid he'd never see his family again, that he would been seen as a coward and a deserter for never showing up at the survivor's camp, and that his clan would suffer the backlash. Afraid for all the people he promised to, but he'd never get the chance to help. Afraid that now that the Breach was closed, no one would come looking for him in the snow, there was no need for an apostate elf now. Afraid of the Dread Wolf howling in the snowstorm. Afraid to die alone. Afraid to be afraid and be finally snatched by the Despair still trailing after him. He was so scared.

41. Does your character feel that they deserve to have what they want, whether it be material or abstract, or do they feel they must earn it first?

ELIZABETH Ooboy, here's a damaged one. She believes down to her core that she must fight tooth, nail and blood to get something, anything she wants. It doesn't matter if the thing is a roof over her head or half a crumb of affection. If she's not battered (physically, emotionally, both?) by the time whatever gets handed over to her, in her mind it means she didn't earn it. In best case, there's a catch to it. In the worst, was given out of pity. It is a toxic trait stemming from her upbringing. Her parental figure happening to be someone who had no business being around developing humans (even less raising one) left some unpleasant roots behind. Thankfully, she does gets better at it!

ADAHLVHER LAVELLAN Our resident tongue twister named boy is kind of neutral. While he does believe he deserves the things he wants, Adah has no problem in showing himself worthy of things he thinks need a bit of proving. He will not perform or beg for things he knows are his just for the fact he’s existing - like respect -, but will have no issues at all fighting (or brawling) to remind people he will have nothing less than he deserves. Mama Lavellan raised her kid to know his worth, and he took all the notes <3

ORNAY ADAAR I'm gonna hc here that Post-Breach + Cory, if you open a dictionary and look up conceited, there will be a painting/drawing of their face beside the definition lmao Ornay believes things should be handed to them simply because they want it, no effort needed, thanks. Oh why? They are Andraste's chosen, the one chosen by the Maker himself to secure the fate of the world! Of course they deserve everything of good they wish for <3 They might sound like a prick (and might as well be one, tbh), but their entitlement issues stem from the same root as Elizabeth's - being raised by someone who had zero business on doing it -. Even if the position + amount of influence combo handed during the Inquisition did little to foster some humility in them, they too, get better at the end of it all.
