#DEATHWRIT. a private and headcanon - based lucanis dellamorte from dragon age: the veilguard.
hey ;)
đŤ
give someone something to chase and you give them purpose.     / @laesarus: teben.
morbid curiosity.   it hangs off of him like a shadow.   an eager need to know the unknown.   itâs admirable, in a way.   unlike so many before him  â  and many that will follow  â  there is no contentment in the world as they know it.   a yearning to understand more, most of all the things deemed too vile, too dark to be spoken of.   things lost to history, or to caution  â  it always begs the questions:  why  â  how?   morbid, but sincere  â  almost innocent, in a way.
and that is something you can use.   it reassures you.   you were right to approach  â  to feign a shared curiosity.   you found someone willing to listen, unafraid to find shades of gray where there was once black and white.   through whispered conversations, hidden meetings, youâve shared what youâre willing to  â  whispers of things hidden in the past, enough to set the bait.   though, you suspect he knows youâre keeping the whole truth to yourself.   or at least, that youâre hiding something.   heâs too keen a mind for that.   it just means you have to be careful.   and youâre used to that.
so far, itâs made a worthy alliance.   already, pieces of the past have been discovered.   enough to make you confident.   enough to share your plan, rooted in the same questions that drove you both to where you now stand.   steeped in light, seeking a lost shadow, all in hopes something different, new, could come from unburying the past.   the why, the how, all in hopes of answering something bigger:  can it be prevented?
â give them purpose and you give them choice.  â
you let it sound like itâs his own idea.   to  â  much like youâve done with him  â  hang bait for those too lost in the mire.   give them something new and powerful to aspire to.   let them emerge from their burrows revitalized, eager.   like a rabbit to a snare.   except here, you are not the hunters  â  not in this guise  â  merely a tool for the hunter to use.
â  and we both know the wrong choice will be handled.   â
light scars.
basics.
light scars are the physical representation of a guardian's first death â the death that would have been their end if not for the light of their ghost.
they are the point on a guardianâs form where their connection with their light is strongest, as it is where the travelerâs light first entered their body to create a symbiotic relationship with the guardianâs dna ( in organic guardians ) or original coding ( in exo guardians ).
light scars are also the core point of a guardianâs resurrection â although the process is near instantaneous, if footage of a guardian being resâd is slowed down substantially, it can be seen that a guardian is ' rebuilt ' outward from their light scar.
light scars tend to be an intimate or guarded topic amongst guardians given the nature of the scar being so finely linked to their pre - light life.
the sensation of a light scar being touched by another lightwielder is inherently soothing.
conversely, the sensation of a light scar being touched by a creature of darkness is excruciatingly painful if the guardian is not attuned to the darkness. otherwise, it feels numb â neutral.

light headcanons from talking with @voidstrengthââŚ.. ages ago. okay for rp blogs to reblog!
light functions similar to a virus. it isnât alive â it doesnât grow, produce waste, etc. it lives in host cells and utilizes the host cell organelles. itâs comprised of nanites. itâs also symbiotic.
the nanites rebuild damaged cells. rather than allowing cells to undergo apoptosis, the light rebuilds the cell walls and other organelles that are damaged. there is no need for programmed cell death.
in âinfectingâ a cell, it essentially enters stasis and the cell remains in the gap 1 phase. considering the lightâs regeneration and need to keep the host alive, any other phase of a cellâs life would be detrimental. synthesis isnât constantly necessary, and gap 2 phase would leave the cell with excess, unnecessary chromosomes. however, the cells are prepared for synthesis phase.
when the body is injured, cells rapidly enter synthesis phase with the help from the light, and execute mitosis with no mutations or flaws in the chromosome, including the shortening of telomeres ( capped ends of chromosomes ). this mitosis creates a perfect image of the original infected cell. it occurs on a larger, faster scale than it would without the assistance.
due to the stasis-like condition of the body, no meiosis occurs. this leaves the guardian infertile.Â
depending on the severity of the bodyâs condition before its first revival, the light reads what dna it can and builds from there. itâs possible guardians may not have been revived looking perfectly identical to how they did before their death due to the light compensating for missing information. for some, it may be as simple as a change in invisible traits ( palate, relating to organs, etc ).Â
the process happens in âreverse.â when infecting the body for initial revival, it rebuilds the body back to what it was, but again â at times due to damage, it may need to compensate.
light scars form where the guardian originally died in that âreversalâ process. the area around the cause of death is the last to be rebuilt. this leaves the strongest concentration of light there due to a bottleneck-like effect. essentially, it pools there, and becomes the source location for regeneration. the light in this location is raw, existing outside of a host cell. almost like a reserve, maintaining its own version of a genomic library, and that reserve is what quickly catalyzes the regeneration.
thatâs it for now! will update if more are remembered.
order of events.
age 3, soon after the last city is founded and word spreads. shin's family and others from their village begin their trek to the traveler and the last city from very, very far away. they are guided by the ghost tiÄnshÇ. while traveling, they are attacked by fallen and shin is killed. tiÄnshÇ revives him, marking him as touched by light.
the group continue traveling for a few weeks but are attacked again, losing shin's parents this time. tiÄnshÇ sends the group on, shin in the care of another couple, to distract the fallen. tiÄnshÇ dies.
with the traveler too far, the group settle and form the village of palamon. over the years, the magistrate became cruel and controlling. shin and his adoptive parents stayed while many left.
eventually, jaren ward passed through the town. shin, still a child, was the first to approach and greet him. jaren allows him to hold the last word. shin began studying jaren from afar.
people continue to leave palamon sporadically.
within the year of jaren's arrival, jaren stood against the magistrate's rule, resulting in a stand - off between nine men and jaren. jaren killed the magistrate, the men backed off.
jaren remained in palamon, protecting it from the fallen and helping its hunters.
several years pass. dredgen yor arrives to palamon while jaren is away with several villagers hunting. after staying for three days, yor kills everyone still in palamon, intentionally sparing shin. he leaves the town in ruin. jaren returns to find only shin.
good lord tumblr is so complicated now
