#faron lavellan

@tevivinter tagged me a while ago, thank you! Let's do Faron for this one ^^

Loves animals and nature Faron has a way with animals and tends to seek out quiet spots where he can chill with animals or among trees and nature. I also find a lot of peace from being in nature and I always feel much better when hanging out with animals. I tend to understand them pretty well too, but I think Faron is even better at making the animals trust him.

Thirsty for knowledge Faron will be curious and ask questions and read 300 books about a wide range of topics, but especially history and magic and culture. I'm very much the same, tho my interests are even wider than that and can very unpredictably include super random topics out of nowhere.

Did a redraw of @thuviels best oc, Faron! I drew him for a prompt back in 2020 and wanted to see how far I’ve come since then. Original under the cut :3c

Some Lavellan “spam” for @bearlytolerable​. Got the idea from @thevikingwoman​. If you feel like “spamming” your Lavellans today, please tag me so I can see!!

Isene (“Sene”) Lavellan

My main and reluctant Inquisitor. Sene is an archer and very curious as well as stubborn, nurturing, and a little explosive when she’s pissed. She is Solas’s girl and hails from a Dalish clan of provincial, well-to-do grain farmers in Ansburg, a river city in the Free Marches. The Lavellans control nearly all liquor distribution from Wycome to Kirkwall and, more recently, the Stormlands of Ferelden. They are not to be fucked with. She allied with the mages, forced an alliance between Celene, Gaspard, and Briala to end the civil war, and, with help from Solas, negotiated the temporary exile of the Grey Wardens. She does not trust the power she wields and would prefer a simpler, more private life in which she can exercise her influence and philanthropy in small but important ways.

Faron is my new Inquisitor. She is an archer, but she’s older than Sene, twenty-five and like a deeply calm though rebellious young woman. She looks for ways to break the rules, and she rarely gets worked up. She has a more typical, migratory Dalish background, and her clan does not survive the bandit onslaught. This causes her to lose focus and to become rather controlling, using her power to achieve certain ends that meet her immediate will. Unlike Sene, she is bitter toward the empire and allows Celene to be assassinated, leveraging Briala into a higher position of power in Orlais. She likes Solas but finds him to be intellectually exhausting. She is Thom Rainier’s girl. She likes his simplicity and yet sort of wise, masculine intelligence.

Thank you for tagging me @tevivinter!

Faron Lavellan

The Empress You are only independent insofar as you have others to care for. This makes you dependent in your independence. They want your knowledge, your skills, your talents, your affection. What can they give in return? “Teeth” is not an acceptable answer, nor is “keeping the shadows to the corners”, nor is “glory”, nor is “love”. There is no acceptable answer, no gift of a magnitude which can match the thing you know, which is that they are taking from you. They are stealing from you. You should stop them from doing that, darling. You only have so much to give. You are not infinite, and when they have taken their last they will remind you of that. My advice is this: give enough to keep them at bay, but be careful. Their teeth can turn on you too. There is no easier way to make an animal dangerous than by feeding it.

Holy shit??? What the hell this fits so much it's insane. This has to be the most Inquisitor coded result in general damn.

🍎 — where was your oc born? do they still live in/around their place of birth or do they live somewhere else? how do they feel about their birthplace?

He was born somewhere in the Green Dales in the Free Marches. He doesn't live there anymore no, ever since he became the Inquisitor he has been living either somewhere in Southern Thedas or in Minrathous with Dorian. He doesn't have very strong feelings about his exact birthplace, the clan was always where his home was and that wasn't tied to any physical place.

💚 — does your oc prefer being inside or outside?

Outside, any day. He feels the most at home in nature and it reminds him the most of clan life. Being inside too long makes him feel confined.

🤔 — what are some of your oc’s quirks/mannerisms?

He can be quite restless so he's usually moving in some way, legs bouncing or hands fidgeting if he has to sit still. He is quick with a smirk and joke to diffuse tension, when he's going about his work he often hums Dalish songs. He tends to use lots of Dalish sayings or phrases specific to clan life, which confuses most people.

💘 — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?

Hmm there might be answers I can't reveal yet, but I think his Chasind amulet is definitely one of the things that are most important to him. Especially now that he has discovered it contains an echo of memory of his family.

🎻— does your oc play any instruments? what is their skill level (beginner/intermediate/advanced/virtuoso/etc)?

Nope, he would have no idea where to even begin xD

🎶 — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

He doesn't have the chance to hear music too often in his job, but whenever there is any music nearby he usually likes to listen. He enjoys happy and festive music, as well as road songs. And flute type instruments tend to be his favourite to listen to.

😥 — is your oc prone to getting stressed out, or is it easy for them to keep their cool?

🩹— does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?

Well he ends up losing his arm sjkdksdj Before the end of Inquisition he has no particular disabilities no.

💤 — is your oc a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? how are their sleeping habits?

He can sleep pretty heavily when he feels safe. After becoming the Inquisitor and experiencing some Horrors however, he sleeps much more lightly and is easily disturbed. He prefers to sleep near nature, in Skyhold he loves to nap on trees on in the stable with his hart. He doesn't have mcuh of a bed routine, in Skyhold he'll just remove his armour, maybe clean off any blood/dirt and then flop down on the bed from sheer exhaustion. On missions he keeps the armour on, just wipes off the worst of the blood if there was a fight and snuggles into his bedroll.

☕️ — does your oc prefer coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milk, water, or some other drink? how do they like to take this drink (ex. coffee with milk, hot chocolate with whipped cream, a specific kind of tea, etc)?

He prefers tea, but he will never say no to hot chocolate. Green tea is his favourite and he ususally drinks it unsweetened.

🎶 — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

He doesn't listen to music that much, he prefers the quiet. After meeting his friends tho he gets used to hearing their bard play some simple songs and sometimes sing as well, and he finds it really soothing. So he enjoys hearing his friend's music if he does listen to anything.

🐈 — does your oc prefer a wide circle of friends or a few close friends?

Few close ones for sure, there's no time to invest in lots of connections when there's spells to study and magical mysteries to unravel.

😊 — what are your oc’s career/general life desires? what do they want to get the most out of life?
