Hellooooooooooooooooo :3 If you haven't answered it yet, how about 🧠 : What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute? for Eden?
Have a lovely day ^^
Howdy❣️ And thank you! I hope you have a splendid day as well :3
That’s such a tough one! Mostly because I also didn’t understand the wording.
I think it would be; how Eden looks goofy, and aloof. But in reality she more intelligent than she presents. Especially with how good with tech she is, or setting up traps. It’s really her lack of social grace, and just grace in general terms. That’s one of her many down falls.
unless we are talking about her partner.
she loves someone smart and nerdy. Loves someone who will yap. She doesn’t mind a little bit of spite and spice. She’s a little stinker who likes to poke the bear with a stick so to speak.

🧪 for Ellyrian: if you had to get a job, what kind of job would you get? Also also who is your most favorite friend in the woooooooooooooooorld? 》:3
Give an OC truth serum 🧪
"A *job*? Eugh. If I absolutely must, I would prefer to work with animals, but it would have to be a more managerial position like a stable master. I will not spend my every day mucking stalls.
"My experience would also theoretically lend itself well to a game warden of some sort. I'm already quite familiar with the Cloakwood and the Wood of Sharp Teeth, and it wouldn't be difficult to pick up the rest of the skills necessary for the job. If I wanted to stay closer to the city, I could speak to the dukes about whether Dusthawk Hill needs a new warden, but that station would require dealing with so many more poachers than the others.
"And my favorite friend is Quothe of course. We've been each other's closest ally ever since we were young. Err... Guida, are you alright?"
Hey, about your grandmother: we don't know each other that well, but I'll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts. No need to respond to this message if you don't want to!
Thank you, friend! We’ll be okay. None of us were close with my dad’s side of the family, so really it’s just more of a shock than anything else (for me at least). I appreciate your kind words, they mean so much to me 💙💙
I gotta tell you, your art is so cool. The way you shade and add texture by layering colors on top of and next to each other has me entranced. Also your Ortega is an absolute *delight* (and so is Nikki)
thank you!!!! you guys gotta stopp being so nice or im gonna get a big ego..
that being said ive invested all my savings in ortega stock

So!! I've been wanting to do this for a while, but life got in the way, so now I'm here to take that thing up again because!!! Fun!!!! This is about the relationships between OCs, and I don't want to impose anything but. Regarding how Novhen and Astala would get along:
What if they HAD grown up together? Maybe not in the same family (although, it would be fun 👀👀👀👀👀👀 they are very similar and very different from each other in different aspects. For example both are very loyal and community oriented, but also Astala is loud and boisterous while Novhen is quieter and more underhanded), but definitely the same Alienage. They'd know each others' quirks and habits. Maybe Novhen got frustrated with Astala because she'd always hide in these really obvious spots when playing hide and seek and Astala in turn would never be able to find Novhen? Maybe Novhen would at some point have stolen a plum tart for her and maybe Astala would've helped him against another kid who made fun of Novhen? Maybe, if we wanted them to meet up later during the Blight, Astala had to move away from Denerim at some point. I think she's a bit older than Novhen; maybe she got married elsewhere. Or, if not, now we gave more elves storming Vaughan's estate, which is alwats fun. I think Novhen would get to lead that one operation until Nelaros's death, because before that, stealth does seem to be the best option.
I think these two would get along well, differences aside. Astala would make an effort to lower her if needed, and having a familiar face to lean on during the Blight year would probably be a big comfort to them both. I think they'd be comfortable enough with each other to talk about the recruitment and how it didn't exactly happen willingly; they could gripe about nobles and politics; they could just. Sit in silence after Broken Circle and try and digest Sloth's nightmare. They could kill the slavers at the Alienage together!!! I think having a like-minded person from the same cultural background would help enormously.
One thing Astala probably wouldn't be on board with is the Cult of Fen'Harel. She'd let Novhen practice alright and defend him if accusations about this were levelled against him, but I think she would either have fallen out of it if she'd ever been introduced to it (it didn't save Adaia after all, so...), or never warmed up to the idea of this elvhen trickster god
These are my thoughts as far as they go. What do you think? Also I hadn't thought of it, but if you want to move this conversation to DMs, they're open ^^
(And if this doesn't tickle your fancy anymore, feel free to ignore ^^)
👀👀👀👀👀 I am eating this ask up like breakfast. Or, er, ramen. Which is the thing i am actually eating atm. But yes yes yes to all of this, i love it so much
Full response under the readmore for length, but i'm realizing now my response is mostly about them as kids 😅 Oops
[Ask Game]
The way i play with companion!Novhen, i'd assume he and Astala are probably either siblings or cousins (i waffle), except this time on their mothers' sides. I don't know Astala's exact age, but Novhen was born in *pulls out notes* Wintermarch of 9:7 Dragon. If we try to stagger them based on Adaia's death, that's probably close to a decade between them which seems a tad bit higher than it should be. We'll just have to dance around that matter
Even if Astala isn't significantly older, there's probably never a single moment where he's taller than her XD Add onto that that girls tend to hit puberty first, there's gonna be quite the height difference around age 10
But yes, their personalities go in very different directions but are probably pretty compatible, especially if given the benefit of a shared childhood! They're both very sociable, but i suspect most people like Astala more, especially authority figures. She's much less of a troublemaker, and Novhen definitely took a while to come into his own as a social mastermind. (This also would make her the ideal candidate for a distraction whenever Novhen’s a-scheming. That’s gonna do her a lot of favors when trying to get him to steal plum tarts for her XD These two are the real blight as far as anyone in the alienage is concerned XDD)
Oh, actually! If they knew each other, i can imagine pretty well him practicing with or studying Astala to get better at social situation! And clearly it worked! (A: "Ok now make an angry face... You just look like you can't find a chamberpot. You have to scrunch your eyebrows like this." *jams her thumb down his forhead*)
Astala seems to prefer her hair shorter during the Blight, but how was it as a child? Because if it were in some sort of puff, i can imagine her child-level object permanence resulting in her hiding in an empty barrel with the puff still peeking over the top! (Artist's Rendition Below)
I don’t think he’d be too frustrated with her poor stealth outside of team games at least! (If they’re partnered is another story…) He does sometimes tease her that she’s not going to be a very good criminal when she gets bigger. Idk, how would she respond to that? Because how does she feels about the fact that she's not going to follow in her mother's footsteps (or how aware of that she'd be as a child) or maybe she would retort about how she’s already bigger or something else? Definitely a lot of ways to take that one lol
But also the idea of Novhen as alienage king of hide and seek is kinda cute. He's usually the last one left (all that damn thief training), so it’s not unheard of to see a parade of Astala, Shianni, Soris, and whoever else they've wrapped into their game (which with Astala could be quite a number) turning the alienage upsidedown to find him. There's probably at least one time he gets found in the first minute, and he thinks he's going to die of embarrassment. Because of that, they almost never let him be a hider in the first round. Sometimes when he’s hiding, they'll accidentally pick up seekers who weren't even playing along the way because they want to see him knocked down a peg XD That's what happens when you win too much!
Astala probably has him beat at wrestling tho! And the game where i imagine they’re most evenly matched would be arm wrestling. As an archer, Novhen has insane upper body and especially shoulder strength, but Astala has insane everywhere strength
On the less competitive side, imagine them as dance partners as little kids ☺️ Astala’s probably the more enthusiastic one about it, but i’d imagine she could drag him into it Easy whether through blackmail or Ole Reliable (puppy dog eyes). There have to be lots of events in the alienage that call for dancing, so it’s good to have a go-to dance partner! And if they ever get a Silly Urge while dancing, the one thing that i’ve found little kids most reliable to do is spin so fast they nearly make themselves sick, and when there’s two of them spinning each other, there’s no stopping them until the centrifugal force throws them both to the ground. At least they’re having fun lol
The Cult of Fen'Harel thing makes sense. I wouldn't expect Astala to be into that. I imagine in this case that Cyrion and Adaia agreed to expose the children to both sets of beliefs, so they could choose once they got older
It's a good thing Novhen's good at keeping matters hush because otherwise Astala would likely get stuck constantly mediating between Novhen and Ilanlas on matters of religion 🤭
Tbh Novhen would slightly begrudge her for choosing the Chantry, but i don't think he'd ever let her know if he could help it. It's just not worth it, and you can't talk about that without talking about Adaia's death which nobody is excited to talk about. Still, it's a potential source of drama, esp as the politics of DA:D are winding up
Back in the present day, if the endgame configuration is one where they live in the same location (which i think could only be the case if they were both companions), Novhen would offer her once for him to educate her child/ren in the way of the Cult of Fen'Harel and/or the Vir Banal'ras fighting style, probably get denied at least on the first one, and never bring it back up. He knows she's Andrastian and also wouldn't expect her to teach them that fighting style herself (too rogue-based), but if he had permission, he'd want to at least try to expose them to their family's traditions, so they could make a choice themselves like Novhen and Astala did
And honestly, if he's present for the origin, once Nelaros dies, Novhen would more than happily hand leadership of the mission over to Astala. Stealth only goes so far, and she has first dibs on revenge #SupportWomen
And with Unrest in the Alienage! As soon as Caladrius is dead, Novhen is scampering over his corpse to pick the lock on Cyrion's cage. Doesn't even wait for someone else to pilfer the key. Astala is free to react to that little scene however she wishes, and we get the whole Tabris family reunion after
Whoever’s Warden, i imagine those two leaning on each other a lot for emotional support during the Blight because not only are they the only alienage elves in the party, they’re family (or at the least childhood friends). Once we personalize the Broken Circle dreams, they get upsetting fast. If either of them get sent into that mission (or Maker forbid both of them), they’re definitely going to need to share a blanket by the fire for a minute
EDIT: the paragraph looks like it's been eaten but also! Novhen would be very cautious about Astala's Zevran romance at first. ("Yes, Stala, he's very dreamy, but let's not forget he's only here because he was hired to kill you.") We know he's very protective, and they're both so eldest sibling-coded
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 I would like to request one 🪞 for Novhen. I am very intrigued
You answered your Astala ask with lyrics about a character dynamic, so i think i'll do the same!
When i was putting this song on his playlist, i didn't know if i wanted to place it at right before the final battle or at the eluvian because it fit both so well. I ended up putting it before the battle for balance and a more literal interpretation, but it is just also a good general glimpse at his side of his relationship with Morrigan. There's probably something to be said here about devotion to the point of self-destruction
So take from me
What you want
What you need
Take from me
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
But lover
Please stay
With me
Lover, Please Stay by Nothing But Thieves
also, because i can't help myself, here's a relevant meme to this specific song for him
✏ I am. Very shy with these kinds of things but if you'd like (and only if you want to), I offer Astala up for being drawn. (Here are some references of her
Take as long as you'd like and please, feel free to not draw her at all if you don't want to 😄😄
me drawing ur ocs / characters you like .
IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE??? don't absolutely worry 😭 you often send me asks about my ocs? so this is honestly the LEAST i can do to repay your kindness 😔 alas i suck at drawing curly hair but hopefully this works </3
