#paragon adaar

[too-many-lavellans]

Behold chibis of all our Dragon Age pcs (so far)!

[aghostwithnoname]

The parts of DAI BioWare thinks I care about:

Close all these damn rifts!

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME UNKILLABLE BEARS IN THE HINTERLANDS?

Defeat Corypheus!

Destroy the Venatori!

Collect a BILLION useless shards!

Varric, back on his bullshit again (re: the “Real” Bianca)

WHO IS THE DREAD WOLF????

The parts of DAI I actually care about (in my canon):

HAWKE (???!?!)

“I have a Warden friend named Alistair…”

Eavesdropping on random Dwarves at the Winter Palace: “Did you hear the Paragon Aeducan was declared dead by King Harrowmont?”

The Very Much Alive Paragon Aeducan, writing Inquisitor Adaar: “Alistair is a dear friend and I would not have him lost to your Inquisition… :))))))))”

Morrigan: “I used to travel with the Hero of Ferelden. I wish things did not have to end the way they did…” sobs

Nightmare to Hawke in the Fade: “Your Grey Warden, Anders is going to die, just like your family, and everyone you ever cared about.” flops on the floor, sobbing, feral

The implication that the Warden Commander not only knows where the Champion of Kirkwall and his apostate husband who blew up the Chantry have been hiding, but that THE Hero of Ferelden, Hawke, and their respective partners are all besties who have been up to some wild shenanigans for the past ten years

Alistair (voice quivering): “Maker, I miss that Warden.” tearing out my hair, screaming, frothing at the mouth

BONUS: Varric gifting Cassandra Pentaghast his fantasy smut. (I ship it)

[tench]

Ngl Morrigan setting herself up to be that wise advisor and then failing at every step of the way (so far) is very funny, especially considering that I'm playing Adaar and I don't even take Solas with me. Between three of us mages (+Dorian), Varric who's not just out of his depth, but wasn't there in the last half of the year and Cassandra who's having none of that, we are the worst prepared party to ever party. Like, sure, let's appropriate all the cultures, we have done it with humans, dwarves (desecrated old paragon's resting place and stole his creation), let's do elves next!

[xoshepard]

OC Name Meaning

tagged by @nowandthane thank youuuuu <3

Rules: google and post the meaning of your OC'S name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! bonus if you can find something for their last name too.

no pressure tags: @stormikins @kaos-kappa @geekybones @alexios @gethpyro

DA and ME kids under the cut!

disclaimer is i picked some of my DA characters' names based on meaning but everybody else was bc of sound so we'll get some fun results im sure sdklfjsdlk

Evanna Shepard: "god is gracious". uhhhhhh eva is not the most religious person skdjfh maybe her parents were religious before they died. actually writing this down for her story 📝 i don't remember how i came up with her name tbh!

Audrey Shepard: "noble strength". this does fit! she is a war hero paragon after all. her name came from a friend i had in college who was like one of the sweetest people i've ever met. audrey is also very sweet

Orion Shepard: "heaven's light". honestly. i just picked a space name for my spacer boy. i didn't even know searching would turn up a meaning for naming your human child sdfkjhdsfjk his name came from a story someone told me of how their brother goes by ryan but his name is actually orion

(he will get a custom head later but for now↓)

Asteria Tabris: "star" or "starry one". yes there are multiple star-themed names on here bc i love stars

(i don't have a screenshot of her 😔 im still meaning to do her custom head but i also can't find any mod hair that i like. alas.)

Ruby Hawke: honestly i now have a list of flower names and gemstone names that i think would be cool to name my characters and this was the first one

Amaris Lavellan: "promised by god". idk howwwww i got so many religious names for my least religious characters ksdjfhs not that Amaris doesn't believe in elven gods but this seems like it would equate more to The Maker. maybe it's because she's the herald. i believe i got her name from a name website

Sterling Lavellan: "little star". aw shit here we go again w star names. honestly when i named him i thought "amaris" was also a star name and they're twins so i thought it made sense. guess not tho sdkjfhs

Keala Trevelyan: "the path". uhhh yes he is on.. the path of the inquisitor. i guess. i have nooo memory of where his name came from

Lulu Adaar: depending on language, "pearl" or "peaceful/protected/calm". imma be real, i just thought it would be great to have an adaar with a rly cutesy name

[trans-rites]

Tagged by @larky-lark

coke or pepsi? Honestly neither, but I guess I'll take pepsi.

disney or dreamworks? If I must, Disney. A higher percentage of Dreamworks animation gives me the heebie-jeebies.

coffee or tea? Tea. An excessive amount. Every day.

books or movies? Books. Films are for watching with friends.

windows or mac? Windows. Mac is an illusion of the demiurge.

dc or marvel? DC. Marvel has Spiderman (and Gwen, and Gwenpool,) but DC has everything else.

x-box or playstation? Neither.

dragon age or mass effect? Dragon Age. It's not even close.

night owl or early riser? A secret third thing.

chocolate or vanilla? ...like, ice cream? Vanilla.

cooking or eating out? Cooking. Eating out is always uncomfy.

spicy food or mild food? Mild. I have a weak, weak, palette.

halloween/samhain or solstice/yule/christmas? Halloween and Samhain! They aren't the same, but I love them both. The happiest time of year.

would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little too hot? Cold. If I want to be warm, I can put stuff on. If I want to be cold, there's only so much I can take off.

if you could have a superpower, what would it be? Shapeshifting. That's always been my go-to answer to this question, and I can't imagine it changing.

paragon or renegade? I like being nice.

baths or showers? Showers, but I'm pretty sure I'd love a bath in a big enough tub.

team cap or team ironman? If we're talking MCU, then Cap. The Sokovia accords are a deranged invasion of freedoms.

What gives you comfort? Gentle companions.

what are some of your favorite song lyrics?

baths or showers? Shower!

team cap or team ironman? I hate those fucking movies, but I love Cap in general. On a very basic level he's *basically* Marvel's Superman, after all (fundamentally a good person representing the simplistic idealism of a bygone era forced to operate a much more morally complex world - also, punches people)

fantasy or sci-fi? I was once a fantasy head but I read near exclusively hard sci-fi for like a year now so who even knows tbh

do you have three or four favourite quotes, if so what are they? “Can a magician kill a man by magic?” Lord Wellington asked Strange./Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. “I suppose a magician might,” he admitted, “but a gentleman never could.” Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell “This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth.” Rhyth of War “Every concert pianist knows that the surest way to ruin a performance is to be aware of what the fingers are doing. Every dancer and acrobat knows enough to let the mind go, let the body run itself. Every driver of a manual vehicle arrives at destinations with no recollection of the stops and turns and roads traveled in getting there. You are all sleepwalkers, whether climbing creative peaks or slogging through some mundane routine for the thousandth time. You are all sleepwalkers.” Blindsight (READ BLINDSIGHT) I guess. It's all I could think of at the moment rather than all time concrete faves tho

youtube or netflix? Youtube

[REDACTED] What- What does that mean

star wars or star trek? Dislike the former, didn't watch the latter

paperback books or hardcover books? I read epubs on my Pocketbook so when I buy books it's just to look good on my shelf - hardback

What gives you comfort? Blanket and no light and I'm set

what are some of your favorite song lyrics? "Lately I've taken to vacantly making repetitive movements/Mistakenly seen as improvements/Nearing perfection but wisely electing/To shun my reflection preferring instead shoe inspection/Cheese and chalk do not talk/But their eyes synchronize with a secret rhythm/Which is a way one could say that I love you for psychological reasons"

favorite ice cream flavor ever? Mint! Mint! Mint!

first fandom? Hard question! Akame ga Kill was the first thing I was super into but Yu Yu Hakusho was probably the first time I made fanart and interacted with ppl on the internet abt it. Worm is the first time I made digital art for smth and posted memes on the sub!

Your desert island band?

But I don't really know if i have any songs where the lyrics really jump out at me in a meaningful way. Well, okay. All of the Simple Plan songs I have meant something to me for sure as a little emo teenager, but, hmm.... For current me? Dreams by the Cranberries has been one of those songs where I really just soak in the vibes and listen to it, so I'll give you a nice lyric from that. "Oh my life/ is changing every day/ in every possible way. And oh my dreams/ it's never quite as it seems/ never quite as it seems"

Do you believe in ghosts?

Gaspard: Inquisitor.

Gaspard bows and leaves.

Celene: Lord/Lady Inquisitor, we welcome you to the Winter Palace. Allow us to present our cousin, the Grand Duchess of Lydes, without whom this gathering would never have been possible.

Florianne curtsies.

Florianne: What an unexpected pleasure. I was not aware the Inquisition would be part of our festivities. We will certainly speak later, Inquisitor.

7 - General: Call off the ball! PC: You’re in danger. End the ball. Send everyone away. Celene: Inquisitor, we suspect that our court has overwhelmed you. You may benefit from a glass of wine and some time to recover. No doubt you will find something in the ball room to entertain you. [8]
