We’ve got the next two adventures recorded and oh man, this game has been so fun so far. Just wait till episode two, there’s some bIIGG things that happen 

Pooooosssssiblllyyyyyy???? 

Whoooooo! Good job. That's super hard and you did it! (House/apartment hunting is EXHAUSTING.)

It really is, and just thinking about all the expenses surrounding this move, we’re going like three states over. Granted, New England States so tiny tiny, but like. Weh. 

WHAT EXCELLENT FACE CLAIMS. I love them to pieces. I’ve never thought about what got my Lavellan their marks, but I absolutely should. Ashra actually has the first Elgnar'nan marking herself. She’s a rogue and full of anger and spite. So she took that mark to denote she will turn those possible negative emotions towards good for the clan. I also love that idea of the spirit of command being where Ladwyn’s spirit blade comes from. That’s so interesting.

Rest of the questions here. I’m putting an (***) asterisk next to the questions that I’ve answered with my College/Modern AUs in mind. 

2: Where does your OC work?***

Jhera Mahariel: Odd jobs here and there; she really enjoys working with the Theatre Department whenever possible.  

Evaine Hawke: Animal shelter. She gets to pet the cats and walk the dogs. It is heaven.

Ladwyn Lavellan: In college, she works in the library. In the separate Inquisition Modern AU she’s an adjunct art history professor (haven’t thought about careers for Jhera and Evaine yet). 

4: Does your OC prefer paper or plastic?***

Jhera Mahariel: Cash. Credit seems like too much of a hassle. Not many banks out by the rez.

Evaine Hawke: No preference between cash and debit, but it’s rare for her to use a credit card in a non-emergency situation.

Ladwyn Lavellan: Ladwyn prefers to have a credit card just because it’s easier to impulse buy things at three am that way. She needs to have those throw pillows and desk organizers STAT.6: Does your OC have any supernatural powers?

Jhera Mahariel: She is supernaturally good at hitting things. 

Evaine Hawke: Mage

Ladwyn Lavellan: Also mage

8: What are some of your OCs strengths?

(doing three for each)

Jhera Mahariel: Tenacity, impressive physical strength (esp. for her size), great leadership skills

Evaine Hawke: Loyal, thoughtful, makes friends easily

Ladwyn Lavellan: Ambitious, adventurous, practical10: What is your OC’s favorite outfit?

Jhera Mahariel: She has a traditional Dalish dress of her mother’s that she only wears on very special occassions. Zevran also gave her a dress from Antiva City that she absolutely adores. 

Evaine Hawke: Evaine is most comfortable in soft tee-shirts, dark-washed jeans, and combat boots.

Ladwyn Lavellan: Ladwyn lives that “long tunic and leggings” life, along with an assortment of earth-tone blouses, flowy skirts, and cardigans that Dorian affectionately calls “hippie librarian chic”. 

12: Is your OC sexually active?

Jhera Mahariel: She and Zevran are the Morticia and Gomez of Thedas so... very much so.

Evaine Hawke: Yep

Ladwyn Lavellan: *looks at Haleni* She would be lying if she said no.14: Does your OC have a cell phone? If so, what kind?***

Jhera Mahariel: A seemingly indestructible flip-phone

Evaine Hawke: A Nokia Windows phone. She has... bad luck with phones. She needed a sturdier one.

Ladwyn Lavellan: A smartphone that’s two or three generations behind the current model. She wants one small enough to fit in her pocket, thanks.16: When is your OCs favorite time of year?

Jhera Mahariel: Summer

Evaine Hawke: The height of fall into the first half of winter

Ladwyn Lavellan: Spring, before it gets too hot

18: What kind of underwear does your OC wear?***

Jhera Mahariel: Most likely of the three to splurge on fancy lingerie 

Evaine Hawke: Whatever’s clean; is weak for the novelty underwear with sarcastic/punny phrases on them

Ladwyn Lavellan: Boyshort addict

20: What’s your OCs favorite kind of pizza?***

Jhera Mahariel: Sicilian 

Evaine Hawke: Buffalo chicken

Ladwyn Lavellan: Sausage and peppers

22: Has your OC ever killed someone?

They all have, but I’ll point out specific character-defining instances. 

Jhera Mahariel: Killed scores of darkspawn, mercenaries, etc, but her duel with Loghain sticks with her. 

Evaine Hawke: Killed Quentin, the Arishok, and Grace. She is only remotely okay with the last one, though she knows all were necessary.

Ladwyn Lavellan: Killed thirteen “rabbit-catchers” along the Minanter River before her seventeenth nameday. She earned her vallaslin from that, but was severely altered by the experience. 

24: What does your OC smell like?*** 

(going for preferred perfume courtesy of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab)

Jhera Mahariel: Rogue

Evaine Hawke: Spiced Apple Cider

Ladwyn Lavellan: Ogygia

26: Is your OC a human or an animal? (or something else idk) 

Jhera Mahariel: Elf

Evaine Hawke: Human

Ladwyn Lavellan: Elf

28: Does your OC like anime?***

Jhera Mahariel: Hasn’t seen any yet

Evaine Hawke: Yes, Slayers is her favorite

Ladwyn Lavellan: She’s enjoyed what she’s seen, but is more familiar with Miyazaki movies

30: What does your OC choose to do about the, er, hair down there?

A resounding shrug for all three. 

32: Did your OC go to college? What did they major in?***

Jhera Mahariel: Literature 

Evaine Hawke: Liberal Arts

Ladwyn Lavellan: Art History

34: Is your OC religious?

Jhera Mahariel: prays regularly, but is uncomfortable practicing her faith outside her clan

Evaine Hawke: Would be considered a witch, but does not consider herself Andrastean 

Ladwyn Lavellan: She is that person who says she’s, “spiritual, not religious”. Sometimes she finds comfort in the rituals of her traditional worship, but mostly she’s concerned with being a good person. 

36: What turns your OC on?

Jhera Mahariel: Really good massages, has a thing for hands

Evaine Hawke: Sarcastic banter and bad jokes 

Ladwyn Lavellan: Competence kink

38: Does your OC have any pets?

Jhera Mahariel: One mabari

Evaine Hawke: One mabari (for now)

Ladwyn Lavellan: Shared custody of Cullen’s obscenely large mabari

40: What is the craziest thing your OC has done?

Jhera Mahariel: Fighting the archdemon

Evaine Hawke: Buy the Bone Pit

Ladwyn Lavellan: Open a rift directly into the Fade

42: Does your OC drink coffee or tea?

Evaine Hawke: Tea

Ladwyn Lavellan: Herbal tea

44: What color eyes does your OC have?

Jhera Mahariel: Dark brown

Evaine Hawke: Blue

Ladwyn Lavellan: Grey

46: Is your OC loyal?

A resounding YES for all three.

48: What social class is your OC from?

Jhera Mahariel: Second-class as far as shems are concerned. In Dalish social hierarchy she’s a few rungs up because of her mage ancestry and the fact that one of her parents was a Keeper. 

Evaine Hawke: Upper class on her mother’s side, veeeery distant nobility on her father’s side as a descendant of Parthalan, but is a mage so all of that is moot. Second-class on technicality, but being Champion balances it out. 

Ladwyn Lavellan: As a mage and First she is treated with the utmost respect; her advice is sought and her orders are rarely questioned. 

50: Does your OC cry easily?

Jhera Mahariel: No, she cries very rarely

Evaine Hawke: Not in the moment; it hits her after the fact

Ladwyn Lavellan: She can hold it in until she’s alone

52: How does your OC feel about insects?

Jhera Mahariel: Ambivalent

Evaine Hawke: Insects, meh. Arachnids, NOPE. 

Ladwyn Lavellan: NOOOOOOOPE. 

54: Does your OC smoke?***

Jhera Mahariel: She likes Antivan cigars

Evaine Hawke: Weed yes, cigarettes no

Ladwyn Lavellan: Used to be a stress smoker, but hasn’t in years.

56: What kind of clothes does your OC wear?

Pretty much covered by #10. 

58: Is your OC introverted or extroverted?

Jhera Mahariel: Extroverted

Evaine Hawke: Extroverted introvert 

Ladwyn Lavellan: Introvert

60: Does your OC enjoy nature?

Jhera Mahariel: Yes, the forests are her favorite

Evaine Hawke: As long as it’s not too... nature-y. Campgrounds are okay, open wilderness is too disquieting.

Ooh, I never get asks for everybody! [Post with other questions here: ]

3.  How many pillows do they sleep with?

Jhera Mahariel: One, two if Zevran counts.

Evaine Hawke: One, but she prefers two or three. She splurges on more pillows after Act I. 

Ladwyn Lavellan: ALL OF THEM. She loves pillows. It’s her secret shame; it feels so indulgent but she cannot go back. She’ll make do on the road but it’s just not the same. 

6. Does your OC make the bed?

Jhera Mahariel: In an aravel, hardly ever. Tamlen usually did it. Once she’s on the road, she travels with her bedroll (but she would loooove it if Zevran would oblige her). 

Evaine Hawke: Yes, without fail. Leandra trained it into her, no matter where they were living. 

Ladwyn Lavellan: Haleni usually made the bed, since Ladwyn gets up at dawn. Honestly it’s the one thing Ladwyn lets fall to the wayside. 

8. Does your OC like to nap?

Jhera Mahariel: She used to, but she stays awake for longer post-Joining.

Evaine Hawke: Nooo, if she naps she is done for the day.

Ladwyn Lavellan: Power naps are how she lives. 

12. On a scale of 1 - DO NOT, how inadvisable is it to wake your OC up? 

Jhera Mahariel: 3 normally, closer to “DO NOT” on her days off in the college AU.

Evaine Hawke: A solid Aveline-style “don’t” at all times. 

Ladwyn Lavellan: 1. Ladwyn is a First and a mother, and then the Inquisitor. She’s just happy she got to sleep a little.

14. Does your OC like to sleep with pets?

Jhera Mahariel: She and Zevran don’t have any pets (though they do eventually adopt a stray cat in the College AU). 

Evaine Hawke: YES.

Ladwyn Lavellan: Post-Trespasser, Ladwyn comes to accept that Cullen’s mabari is here to stay. 

19. Does your OC remember their dreams?

Jhera Mahariel: She’ll get flashes from her dreams, but nothing she can piece together.

Evaine Hawke: Very rarely, but when she does they stick with her.

Ladwyn Lavellan: She didn’t used to, but her dreams have become more vivid and lucid since the Anchor. 

20. Does your OC like sleeping (not sex, just sleeping) with others? 

Jhera Mahariel: Dalish clans in general are big on co-sleeping; aravels are split between family units and unmarried clanmates to save on space/resources. Jhera was known to dogpile with Merrill and Tamlen, and prefers to sleep with or near people. It took some time, but eventually she’s as comfortable sleeping next to her traveling companions as she was with her clan. 

Zevran gets used to being aggressively cuddled very quickly (he’s a fan). 

Evaine Hawke: Evaine loves sleeping near others, but she’s an active sleeper so her family tends to keep a wide berth. There’s only so many times the twins can take an elbow to the face. 

Fenris eventually admits that he sleeps on the edge of the bed until Evaine is done, “flailing like a landed fish” before moving closer, and he is not above using her mabari as a shield. 

Ladwyn Lavellan: Ladwyn used to sleep alone or near Mahanon, but shared a bed with her daughter Haleni before she left for another clan. She is much more comfortable sleeping next to someone else and tends to cuddle closer in her sleep.

Cullen (and the majority of her traveling companions) find this both unexpected and incredibly endearing. 

22. Does your OC need anything to go to sleep? Like music, a fan running, etc.

Jhera Mahariel: Some kind of white noise helps, like the sound of a campfire, or her friends talking. Clan Sabrae stayed close to the forests of Ferelden, so any similar noises help her fall asleep faster. She finds it difficult to sleep in castles without a fire roaring. 

Evaine Hawke: Her mabari, like any self-respecting Dog Lord.

Ladwyn Lavellan: She likes to journal before bed, or take notes on the areas she’s visiting, but she can sleep in most conditions. 

25. What does your OC do if they can’t fall asleep?

Jhera Mahariel: She’ll go on “patrol”, which is glorified pacing (or sleepwalking) until she can be coerced back to sleep. She is banned from taking consecutive watch shifts. 

Evaine Hawke: Evaine goes for the “lie really still and pray to the Maker that sleep comes” method.
