Also I want to be clear when I say the Kirkwall Gang I do mean Gang like these guys are at the top of a crime syndicate they are smuggling goods and selling drugs and everyone in Lowtown knows if you want to get something dodgy organised on the down low you go to The Hanged Man after 10pm and ask to be invited to Varric’s private room.
Aveline grits her teeth and puts up with it bc Hawke had persuaded her that she provides some degree of security and control to Lowtown and if it wasn’t her it would be some other crime boss who doesn’t even try to keep up an image if looking out for the little guy

Based on absolutely nothing but my vibes! I assume most of the Kirkwall Crew must be assigned ages somewhere in the canon but I don’t care bc this is my playground now. All these ages are for the beginning of Act 1, after the Hawkes have been in Kirkwall for a year and when they start meeting the rest of the gang.
Hawke: 26. At the point when it’s odd to people in Lothering she’s unmarried, but young enough to still kind of believe she’s invincible. Malcom died when she was 17 and she’s been filling the Dad role ever since. If you asked her or her family they’d say she’s been behaving like an adult since them but in reality a lot of stupid decisions were made in the years of Hawke as the head of the family. It’s important to me she’s actually one of the younger ones in the Kirkwall gang bc the whole story is about her getting older and more disillusioned, and also because I think it emphasises how fast she had to grow up and her insane charisma to begin to build such a following so young.
Carver and Bethany. 19. 7 year age gap with Hawke is important bc it makes them 10 when Malcom died - Old enough to have lots of memories of him but young enough to still need looking after by Hawke. Also super important to me that they’re 19 in Act 1: They’re protesting they’re a Grown Up now and technically they are but as everyone older than 19 knows 19 year olds do still kind of feel Baby and are easy to end up patronising. Hawke is also having trouble adjusting from ‘This person is a child I need to protect and take charge off’ to ‘This person is an adult with their own wants and desires who doesn’t want to be looked after all the time’
Leandra: 42. I’m not sure about this bc I don’t like making her have Hawke so young (16) but I also want her to have spent more than half her life in Fereldan. It does also kind of fit with the impulsively running off with Malcom. I also kind of like the idea of her and Malcom having Hawke very young and not knowing how to handle it, and being able to provide a slightly more secure upbringing for the twins 7 years later. Idk I like them being messy people who made mistakes but learned from them and tried their best. Also Malcom is like 17 or 18 in this and I guess did his Harrowing early or smt bc I don’t want him to be a creep lmao*
Gamlen: 40. I want him and Leandra close enough in age that they were friends growing up. There’s two years between myself and my younger brother and it’s enough that he is still definitely the Youngest Child but we still got on as kids.
Aveline: 36. This one was hard! She obviously is framed as older but I also kind of like the idea of her being younger than she comes across, I think it ties into the toughness being in part a display shes learned to put on. Nevertheless I also love the idea of her and Leandra being friends and her maybe even being closer with Leandra than the Hawke siblings at first so 36 it is!
Varric: 29. A bit older and wiser than Hawke. Some might say a bit too old to be running around commiting crimes all day and drinking at a shitty pub all night. But they’d be wrong he’s still in his 20’s he’s literally young Bartrand!!!! Still young enough to be idealistic and negotiate with the merchants guild after running around with Hawke for hours.
Anders: 33. The reason I wanted to write this!!! I know lots of people think Anders has big mid twenties energy but I’ve always thought of him as one of the older members of the gang. He has that tired worn down feel. He’s an idealist but he also knows the reality of making change is lots of thankless nights in the sewers helping the sick. Idk he reminds me of people I’ve met in my own activism who’ve been doing this long enough to know that the struggle is a long and tiring one.
Fenris: 23. He’s always trying to assert that he knows exactly how the world works while also being full of doubt and incredibly grateful for anyone who helps him to figure it out. He’s so lost and staring into a future he can’t picture yet but desperate to act like he has it all figured out. Peak early 20’s vibe to me.
Merril: 28. Everyone infantilises her bc Elf and Language Barrier but she’s always been one of the older members of the gang to me. She has a strength in her convictions and sense of self that just feels late 20’s. I’d be tempted to make her even older based on that but it doesn’t mesh with the overall vibe I want for the group (a bunch of people in their 20’s who reach their mid-30’s over the course of the game)
Isabella: 30. Ridiculously young when you think about everything she’s been through and done. Girl has been married off, seen her abusive husband murdered and become a famous captain in a little under a decade. Old enough to have figured out her way of coping with life and stopped giving a damn what other people have to say about it
Sebastian: 24. He doesn’t like mentioning his age bc he wants people to think he’s older. Has a complex after always being treated as the baby. Adds to the cruelty of his parents shipping him off to the chantry for a bit of teenage rebellion. Adds to the long term impact of his Wild Youth on who he is today. Idk as someone who had some crazy hedonistic teenage years then overcompensated by being super well behaved in my 20’s once I realised I was Too Young to be doing all that I just think it works for his character! I really see him being slightly scared of his past self and trying to be the exact opposite of that in a very ‘I’m still figuring out who I am’ kind of way.
This post is basically just a reference for myself but if I forgot anyone and you’re for some reason interested in what age vibe they give to me let me know and I’ll tell you!
*Although the idea of Malcom initially seeing Leandra as a way out of the circle and not being totally honest in their relationship at first is an interesting one for a fic at some point…

thinking about leliana rocking up to kirkwall in 9:37, assessing the situation ground, and telling hawke (and therefore by extension, she is aware, anders and the mage underground) that she plans to ask the divine for an exalted march that she never intends to ask for in the first place.
*two days’ journey out* *weird red explosion on the distant horizon* i wonder that could ever be. the maker blesses us with such a mysterious and beautiful sky
how interesting would it have been if datv was really willing to engage with dalish belief and give the elven religion more depth than evil slaver gods who are led by an entity that embodies tyranny. feeling kind of insane considering the Implications of andruil being . consumed? subsumed? in an act of love and mourning by ghilan’nain and pondering the theological analyses that could come out of that… the way that would impact religious practice…
there’s that post that puts the “no coke for me i just wanted to be in this tiny bathroom with you” over a screenshot of merrill and i get the vibe they’re going for but merrill would totally do coke with her friends in the bathroom of the hanged man.
i think hawke brings the coke. could also be isabela like she knows where to get coke and she would do coke for fun but the more i think about it i think hawke HAS coke.

by unpopular demand. from here. my official list of which dai characters should Not like cullen like that
varric's opinion should depend on whether hawke was pro-mage or pro-templar. pro-mage hawke's varric should also refuse to say anything negative about cullen until you have high approval, because he is also a prisoner here and what is he, an idiot?
cole should say, out loud, with his mouth, that he has compassion for cullen and understands his fears and etc. but any time theyre in a room together cole should immediately get, like, Spirit Freakout Weird, and then they need to be separated. because cole can't cope with the impressions hes getting of mages being kidnapped and harrowed and made tranquil and killed.
sera should hate him outright. are you kidding. her whole bit is she's anti-authoritarian and sets herself Against people who wield institutional power & who have the power and inclination to commit to actions with disproportionate effects on the marginalised and the vulnerable. and cullen's career trajectory has been templar -> knight captain in city where templars more or less run the show -> (acting) knight commander, same city -> commander of religious army. she should be Loud and Insensitive about it
vivienne should not be able to forget that he was knight captain in kirkwall during the escalation of violence against mages culminating in the chantry explosion and (botched?) annulment. she's a mage who created for herself through luck and skill and daring an incredibly precarious position of influence, she knows the templars probably resent her enormously; she's the leader of the loyalist mages; and how can she look at him without thinking of what he's been part of, and wondering what it will take for him to turn on her? and conversely, cullen might not be part of the templar order anymore, but he absolutely believes that the templars should, in some form, exist— he's spent two games as a Zealot. he should have feelings about basically the most politically prominent mage in the south making moves towards becoming divine. feelings about mages in "real" politics, not just circle politics. can anybody hear me. also vivienne should not ever say this out loud u should only be able to tell by comparing how she speaks to him with how she speaks to characters she feels actively warm to but in a vacuum it's not obvious and she should only be willing to tell You w/ high approval
dorian is a tevinter altus. he is a necromancer. per the orlesian chantry hes basically already a blood mage even though by his definition he is Not. cullen should hate him on principle — a product of a nation in which mages aren't just free but (supposedly universally) revered, in which mages keep slaves and practice blood magic, The Big Scary That The Orlesian Circles Rely On As Evidence Of What Happens When You Let Mages Be People. and conversely— dorian comes from tevinter! to him, a templar is the dog of the wealthy ruling class! and to be honest southern templars are not better, they just serve different masters... and he of all people should feel that a templar's ~power over mages~ is basically just a cultural construct. like. we have seen that when mages Genuinely fight back, templars start dropping immediately. nobody is more well-positioned to know this and disdain southern templars' skills and power than dorian, who did not grow up with the culturally ingrained fear and awe of them that southern circle mages did. THEY SHOULD GET INTO IT. and he should take many opportunities to say it also
one thing i don't get is the insistence on cullen as a Wholesome Farm Boy. like, he was high-ranked in a crusading army for >ten years. he's not a farm boy. he was raised on a farm but he has been part of the scaffolding of religious oppression for over a decade. and he (and his writer) leans hard on the appearance of down to earth ferelden simplicity, as per shortbreadgate, but he is not and has never been a working class farmer. we don't get a lot about his childhood, so it's not clear how old he was when he joined the templars, but given that he's already a knight when we meet him in origins, I would guess he's been with the chantry since his early teens, if not earlier. the reliance on the image of him as a steadfast working class farmer who fights the noble fight is a) christian propaganda and b) a perception that is absolutely wielded against his detractors by meredith, elthina, and later on cassandra👍
To spark some positive fandom enthusiasm, I thought I'd try creating a ~fun little ask prompt~, so here goes!
Send an ask with "The first time..." and fill in the rest with whatever you like - then receive snippets, headcanons, or a mix of both!
This can be serious ("the first time character A confided something in character B" / "the first time character B thought about kissing character A" / "the first time they dealt with loss together") or entirely silly ("the first time character A heard character B snoring" / "the first time character A's uniform was horribly out of place in front of character B" / "the first time they laughed so hard they cried together").
I encourage all writers and non-writers alike to participate however they wish! This isn't about creating mesmerizing prose, but about sharing in each others' love of the Characters™.

I'm not sure I can fully substantiate this but Leandra and Bethany and and any fHawke who isn't actively reactively overcorrecting on this (which Amice isn't) have this have this thing for me where men get coddled and any contribution they make towards the betterment of the situation is worthy of high praise, while the contributions of fellow women are comparatively taken for granted.
I keep running Illario and Lucanis over in my head. The thing is I really like Illario as a character, and I think I would really like Lucanis too, but I need the ability to give him shit. I need Rook to be able to go to town telling Lucanis that all this shit that happened with Illario and Zara Renata and the Ossuary and Caterina is solidly his fault too, because he is the one going around with such an overidealised idea of what the Crows are he forgot this is the 'assassinate other people for political power' guild, even as he goes around on the daily assassinating other people for political power. I need to tell him he's been complicit in the abusive family dynamic that's going on from the start, and he's actively participated any time he's negged Illario for being too rash and incompetent and unreliable. And at that point one of the other companions can be like 'dude, that doesn't mean he deserved to get stuffed in an underwater prison and tortured, and it doesn't mean he deserves you reaming him out like this as his boss' and I'd be like 'yeah, true' and feel bad about it. But I think the thing I'm trying to say is that in more than one way the choice to be angry and disagreeable and even 'evil', to dislike or even hate the companions within the game itself, was a fail safe against actually disliking them. It's really hard for me to dislike a character you can show your disdain around. It's really easy to hate one that I feel forced to smile and laugh for.
