3, 6, 8 from Codex Dragon Age OCs Auestions, please (how do they feel about Grey Wardens, dragons and Deep Roads)👀

Ooooh time to spin the wheel of Random OC!

Yvie is obviously a huge fan of the Grey Wardens, her sister is one! :D She does not hero-worship them though, she is aware that they tend to recruit criminals and other desperate people, and she appreciates the idea of giving people a second chance.

Nadia Trevelyan romances Bull, and they fanboy/girl over dragons together! This could, in part, be due to her Pentaghast genes :3

Erik Cadash is a soft and sweet toy maker who never set foot underneath the surface before, the Deep Roads fill him with an existential dread ;_;

more thoughts on the AU in which arya has no magic/is a templar:

-as everyone had initially hoped she and Eric lead the ostwick circle with Eric as knight-commander. eventually the hope/expectation is that with a few more years arya will take over in Markham, but there are concerns that she will not be ready for that kind of leadership

-arya is not burdened by exactly the same kind of uncertainty as she usually is. battle and swordsmanship and strategy seem natural. giving orders seems natural. in social situations she is utterly inept and terrified. this is not an arya that has spent time teaching and guiding young children, this is not an arya who got drilled in etiquette enough because she was never going to need to navigate nobility. the family was content with her desire to stay far out of the spotlight and prepare for being a templar, so she can't really mask in the way the right arya would, she is rigid and respected but not liked. she makes few friends.

-ostwick circle is run strictly and efficiently. Eric is too much of a watchdog to allow loose ends. without a mage in the family he does not learn much sympathy for mages, and while he is smart enough to keep the mages from complete upset (so he thinks, at least) he is not merciful, nor is he kind. arya is much the same but occasionally is pulled to sympathy by apprentices. she likes to think she takes complaints seriously, but there are always more templars to take the place of ones that need to be removed.

-briony is still at ostwick until her harrowing, which she fails. arya does not know her face well enough to feel anything about her passing, other than general pity.

-Malik REALLY suffers because he has been saddled with all the responsibility of maintaining the family's nobility despite him clearly having two other siblings that could have done it. he wishes for more freedom than he has. arya is sympathetic to his frustrations, eric finds his problems trivial given that, for the most part, malik’s life isn't on the line. malik would have stopped speaking to erik altogether if their father didn’t believe it necessary to keep the trevelyans connected.

-the trevelyans become a well-known name in the Marches, and the family sees this time as politically opportune. as much as the trevelyans are described as devout, since the chantry is the foundation of so much power, i can’t imagine that in their religious devotion they are also very interested in aligning their politics with the chantry. they want more political power in the Marches, malik is resistant which causes tension with his father still serving as bann. despite templars technically giving up titles and family from the order the trevelyans see expanded dominance over the circles as necessary.

-ostwick’s circle rebels far later than it did in the original timeline since arya has no real connection to the younger apprentices, and far fewer people are inclined to stick up for any troublemaker apprentices given the trevelyans’ ironclad hold on the circle. markham’s circle (where eric Should Be) collapses first after its first enchanter starts an eerily quiet rebellion (she’s another minor oc of mine, her name is margaret, she is an unassuming old lady born in a circle). eric hears about it, is hypervigilant, and when one of the younger apprentices has something of a magical misfire, arya is not there to stop it. the boy is made tranquil, and rather than that inciting rebellion, it’s later rumors of annulment that spark ostwick’s downfall.

-even w/in this au, arya should be a mage. she is supposed to have magic. so i think that arya still ends up at the conclave hoping for peace and a return to normalcy, while eric has something of a crisis because he doesn’t think going back to normal is safe or possible (but he’s not entirely convinced by the renegade templars). arya gets her hands on the anchor and its connection to the fade doesn’t make her a full fledged mage, but she does start to show signs of magic capability (i don’t know that it ever fully manifests) outside of the anchor’s power and it shakes her entire worldview--it doesn’t feel wrong, and that disgusts her.

No other universe + character can hold my interest

for fanfiction like Dragon Age + Solas. I like Jack Sparrow (sorry, *Captain* Jack Sparrow) and his adventures on pirate shores or chasing the horizon on the Black Pearl. I like Jareth, the Labyrinth’s Goblin King, and his love for the stubborn, pretty Sarah, now a grown woman, full of potential for romance. I like Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, and his naive student, Christine Daaé. I also like her with her childhood friend, Raoul. I like Fenris so much! Same universe, beautiful soundtrack, cool tattoos, the same elven charm plus hair! (lol) But it’s not the same. There are so many universes, so many settings, so many plotssibilities... So why do I feel so attached to the same Evanuris, wether he spends the majority of the story as one or as a bald hobo apostate or as a modern day teacher or businessman or archeologist or mentalist or donut shop clerk? How come I don’t I tire of it? Why do I feel like other themed fics soon become boring and his fanfic is somehow superior? (I tried to alternate themes for fear of running out of DA+Solas material but started resenting the other themed fics and gave up, cause I wanted to read Solas fic that much more). It’s not the time setting, I like medieval as much as modern and scifi. It’s not Dragon Age, cause other LI’s don’t have me as invested. It could be the fandom. I get a feeling that Solas fanfic in general is more mature (not talking about sex, but narrative). Solas is controversial, many hate him. Perhaps the select group who loves, writes and reads him have more affinity regarding other preferences as well, which resonates with me better? But I have read many different flavors of Lavellans and OCs and don’t think this to be the case. The general maturity of the stories is definitely something I enjoy though. Is it Solas himself? Is his canon character so well written that it makes his fanfic seem somehow superior to me? I think his canon character is very well written and the richness of the lore can add so much to a fanfic. However, the lore is not always used, the canon is not always followed (and i also love it), I find that the writer’s prose/style/personality/choices is a huge part of what makes the stories interesting. So that doesn’t answer my question either. Why? Is it that maybe his character resonates with me more? I really love good men. I have a huge crush on good intentioned ones, even if they’re wrong (but think themselves right), self sacrificing, protecting, loving men. But literature has many others, Solas is not even an ideal example (there are self-interested motives mixed in there, attempted guilt redemption through sacrifice for one, not to mention he might let you die). Cullen is a good man, according to the standard protocol, and he is right there, alongside Solas... completely forgotten. He’s lucky I romanced him first (it was lovely that first time, with my Trevelyan), it would be hard to enjoy it as much had I romanced Solas first. Maybe it’s the tragicness of the situation? This is the closest I think I get from a possible answer because literature may have many more tragic characters/plots but I don’t recall ever reading fanfic of any of those.

Do you find yourself of a similar opinion? Do you like Solas fanfic more than all the rest and do you have a theory why? Please share you theories with me, I’m trying to understand.
