dragon's dogma has consumed my life again, and in response, here's my arisen being saved from a street fight in vernworth by his main pawn

they're just silly lil guys 🥺🥺

[beyondxthexrift]

While I knew my efforts were to be fruitless, I still searched for something, for anything and anyone to use to my own advantage. Anything would've been better than standing around, waiting to get crushed, yet it seemed that was just the only thing I could do. No matter how wildly I fought against these ropes, no matter how harshly or poorly I'd have struggled, there was nothing to be done.

Or so I thought.

That woman in maroon looked me up and down, waiting for me to have made eye contact, and when I had, she stood. Her estranged vermilion eyes were lit up with a knowing fire, brighter than daylight itself as a grim smirk graced her lips. She did not display cowardice.

Ugh, I can't get over how hard it is to highlight Alexis’s hair without it looking like a real red. It's NOT supposed to be a true red, just a rather vivid auburn color 😭

Anyway, this was supposed to be larger, but here we are, with two characters instead of the originally intended eleven. I mostly cut it down because I couldn't make up (roughly) five additional designs on the spot, not when I'm impulsive and forget that I have the free will to put literally anything into a design without having to explain myself (would I though? Absolutely. Because I enjoy explaining things, perhaps a little too much).

That being said though; I present Asherah Marthine and Alexis Sinatra! And that's.. Before everything falls apart. Many things about Alexis change after Asherah gives herself up, but maybe I'll explain at a later date :)

Talisen Lavellan, the Inquisitor

——————————————————————

For an open man, he tells very little of himself, even when pried upon the topic; and whether he knows it or not, he's covered up his tracks well. My agents and I have exchanged a few reports on our findings, mostly to do with a rumor concerning his bloodline. Some have taken to the idea he's related to Dirthamen - very distantly, but still so.

Regardless, we've been able to learn from Keeper Istimaethoriel that Talisen's mother was a runaway slave from Tevinter. Captured and caught several times. She first fled so her son wouldn't be born into slavery, and every time after, it was so he could live with a parent - as per the letters she wrote to the Keeper. As to where the woman is now, we do not know. Talisen claims to know she is deceased, and we've no reason to work against his claim.

As for his father, we've found little. The most notable being a letter from his wife that was addressed to him though never sent. The details are. . . heartbreaking, to say the least. I will send an agent to deliver the writing to you, to read for yourself. I will also suggest that this information stay between us. If Talisen knew about me continuing to look into his history, he'd surely have my head. He already told me twice not to.

Despite the information we've found regarding his family, it seems that in few letters, he himself had been within the Tevinter Imperium, though whether it was due to slavery or not, I cannot say. Some would suggest so, and if it were the case, he was not in chains long at all. To add, many would say that while residing within the hands of Clan Lavellan, he was one of their lead spies and scouts, when he wasn't tending to the halla, of course. Keeper Istimaethoriel explains him to be an irreplaceable asset, and their lead reason for even sending him to the Conclave at all.

Truly, Josie, I want to know what goes through his mind. Enough power, and any man turns sour, but Talisen seems to break that streak, even as Inquisitor. He's still the same as his Keeper describes - a man of charm and wit with countless secrets tied to his tongue.

If we found him before Hawke, perhaps he'd have been our second choice, behind the Hero of Ferelden.

Hi! :D

I've finally given myself a proper Dragon Age Inquisitor! Plus this little... whatever this is. it's an excuse of a codex entry for Talisen, because I thought it would've been cool to do, plus it gives everyone a brief look into who he is 😌

Who would have guessed that a holy woman - a woman of noble lineage - would have fallen so far from her supposed “intended fate.”

She is not solidly a vampire hunter, no, but through a string of events, you could say she was twisted into a witch of the wild, running from local folklore to walking through the gates of a palace, rising farther than she would have before, right?

Either way, to her, it matters little. One second cannot undo a thousand years - much less the majority that were solid agony.

Salutations, my friends! Welcome to my first blog on Tumblr, after having the thing for a little more than a year, aha-
