It’d been an odd change of scene for the mage who’d not so long ago had been content with settling for Skyhold as his home. Things had gone sour for him though. Soon he felt the need to leave. His interests brought to much attention to what his intentions wear and the constant questioning of them got on his nerves.

It’d been months since then. Now he resided in the quarters allocated for him by the Venatori, and worked away in a laboratory carrying out the experiments they wanted done. His workplace was organized chaos. Anyone who entered would find stacks of notes, research papers, and ink scattered about the open room. 

Shelves that were meant for books were cluttered by glass containers. ‘Samples’. Labled according to date of obtaining, where from and what they were. All in slanted hastily scrawled Tevene. Hasty enough to make the scrawls act as a cipher to near anyone else.

A table of glass instruments sat pottering away in another corner. Some experiment with red lyrium where he was trying to figure out more of it’s properties. Perhaps make it safer for consumption? Perhaps make it more deadly? It’d be something he’d have to check.

Hair lightly pinned out of his face Jamus was doing something out of his own curiosity of currently. The report papers he’d been writing left unfinished on his desk. Among the many other unfinished notebooks detailing the workings of experiments and their results. Right now though he was working away on a dissection of some poor sod who’d died not being able to deal with the red lyrium. He’d not checked to see who they were. Plenty of soldiers died and he paid no attention to who they were.

The small battlefield was littered with dead. It was a massacre, Venatori and Inquisition alike. 

A lone dark-haired woman sat in the blood-soaked earth, clutching her side and taking short, shallow breaths. Blood was running in between her fingers. She doubled over, coughing up blood and groaned. 

Gathering what little strength she had left, she forced her blood and flesh to knit itself, drawing power from the dead and the blood they no longer needed.

Movement and posture headcanons♐ - Fights

Oh man I have thought about this so much hah ha h

He’s highly adaptive - that’s the first and most important thing. Grey Wardens are esteemed fighters, that’s their thing so he’s a very efficient fighter. He’s got a few set-ups.

The first is typical mage. He uses a staff, roots himself with Keeper/nature magic and does your pretty standard spell-firing stuff. Next is close-quarters magey stuff, where he uses a bladed staff like a bo staff and uses magic as support.

His hand-to-hand style is primarily for disarming and knocking out. It involves short bursts of speed and strength and is inspired a lot by this.

Then there’s Arcane Warrior techniques which for him is more accurately called Arcane Rogue. He typically wields a sword and quillon dagger, or parrying dagger if he’s fighting not-darkspawn. Is also skilled with scramasax daggers and stiletto daggers. Is too small for most shields but can use a buckler. He doesn’t really need them though bc arcane shields ~Having a dominant left hand gives him an edge with this style. Using in-game references he would be skilled with the specialist & scoundrel talents trees and the duelist spec.
