I was able to commission the wonderful @faerun again a bit ago, this time with a whole host of parent-age OCs! They’ve done an amazing job once again, and I’m so enamoured with how everyone looks! Go commission them if you’ve got the money to spare!

[ID: four pixel, chibi-like icons of characters from the bust up. The icons feature a dwarf and three elves.

Abha, the dwarf, is fat and has warm brown skin, curly dark brown hair tied up in a bun, brown eyes, and age lines by her eyes and mouth. She is wearing an orange sari over her right shoulder with a black t-shirt underneath. She’s smiling shrewdly on an orange background.

Evan, the first elf, is chubby and has pale skin, short and curly blond hair, warm brown eyes, a brown beard, glasses, and freckles. He is wearing a red plaid jacket with a white hood, with said hood down. He is smiling calmly on a red background.

Isador, the second elf, is broad-shouldered and has cool brown skin, long and straight grey hair worn down, small green eyes, and age lines on his forehead and by his eyes and mouth. He is wearing a dark green sleeveless shirt, and he has tattoos on his arms; yellow tattoos on his left shoulder, and black tattoos on his right. He’s smirking mischievously on a green background.

Yrneha, the third and final elf, is thin and has brown skin, long curly brown hair tied into a half-bun, dark brown eyes, thin eyebrows, and many age and stress lines around her eyes. She is wearing an overlarge pale grey hoodie, and one lock of curly hair falls into her face. She is looking to the left side of the image with a worried expression, on a pale purple background. /end ID]

Just for fun I’m gonna write this post about what my DA peeps would be in DnD 5e

Fyfa Mahariel: Rogue, Scout archetype, wood elf. If Assassin were a class of its own she’d multiclass after meeting Zevran

Idina Surana: Sorcerer/Druid multiclass, Storm Sorcery origin/Circle of Dreams, elf. Took a feat to let herself wield a sword

Sutton Cousland: Fighter, Eldritch Knight archetype, Defense style, human. Is fascinated enough by magic to be an Eldritch Knight but not pious enough to be a Paladin

Ilse Aeducan: Paladin (Torm), Oath of the Crown, gold dwarf. Almost changed her oath to Vengeance in a fit of passion, but decided against it

Nisaleigh Hawke: Rogue/Monk multiclass, Mastermind archetype/ Way of the Shadow, half-elf. Could have been an Arcane Trickster but she likes her stealth too much

Mnuve Lavellan: Druid/Warlock multiclass, Circle of the Land (Coast)/ Pact of the Blade (Great Old One patron), wood elf. The pact is broken when she loses the Mark in Trespasser

Isador Surana: Wizard, School of the Artificer, sun elf. Proficient with the Healer’s kit, took a feat to be able to cast a couple cleric spells

Evan Surana: Bard, College of Lore, half-elf. His bardic focus is either a pan flute or another wind instrument

(Bonus) Yvette Shepard: Sorcerer, Shadow Magic origin, idk what race she’d be but she wouldn’t be human

[quaxorascal]

A cute: Evan and Isador cuddling together while music is playing, all comfy and quiet, and as Evan starts to drift off he drums his fingers against Isador's arm/ back, keeping the beat of the song or counting the number of syllables sung just for the fun of it Isador can feel Evan fall asleep as his lover's fingers move less and less until finally laying still against Isador

[quaxorascal]

Idina Surana, 17!

“A description of your OC’s family by a future historian.” (from here)

“The history of the Idina Surana Memorial School, established in the Denerim Alienage around 9:77 Dragon, is a rather simple one. The school itself is named for one of the eight Heroes of Ferelden who defeated the Fifth Blight in 9:31, and it was established by her wife, Theresa Amell – another Hero – and one of her fathers, Evan. The city of Denerim is where Averill, Surana’s son with Theresa, lived at the time, along with his wife Aleiyah and their six children.

“Theresa had been Commander of the Grey Wardens of Ferelden, and Evan had been hahren of the Highmount Alienage before he travelled to Denerim following the death of his husband Isador. There is some debate as to how the pair ended up in Denerim to establish this school. Some believe Averill may have been involved in bringing both Theresa and Evan to Denerim, as the two retired within a year of each other and both lived with his family while in Denerim; others believe the two would have sought security with their relatives in their old age. 

“Whatever the reason, soon after they both settled in Denerim, Theresa bought a building in the Alienage and sought Evan’s help to restore it. One of Averill’s older children claimed to be present when Evan called Theresa ‘absolutely nutty’ before agreeing to aid her with her project.

“Establishing the school was both a labour of love and, some believe, a love letter to the woman whose name it carries. After roughly a year and a half of petitions, fundraisers, planning, and getting the community involved, the building became the school as it is known today. Both were involved in helping the school get on its feet, Theresa more than Evan due to his remarkable age, and Theresa ensured that graduated students would be able to run the school when her own age caught up to her.

“Evan passed away only a year after the school’s establishment, and Theresa followed just shy of a decade later. Averill and his family have kept an eye on the school since.”

You know when Shay told me “well i just had a strange idea for Another au” out of the blue at the beginning of January I didn’t think we’d end up with an AU I’d get so completely attached to but Here We Are

Next up for OC kiss week forever, my Isador Surana and his adopted daughter Grace Amell Surana, @sleepyspoonie‘s girl!! You guys this dude is so proud of his kid

[Image is a black-and-white drawing of two characters in profile. An elf, Isador, is kissing a human girl, Grace, on the forehead; she has to bend down slightly in order to let him do so, and he holds the sides of her head to keep her in place. She is smiling gently at him with her hands behind her back.

Grace has dark hair done up in a French braid at the back of her head, leaving bangs above her eyebrows and in front of her ears; the braid reaches a little below her shoulders, and a thin ribbon with a heart-shaped knot holds it together. She has thick eyebrows; a small nose; and full, dark lips. She’s wearing Grey Warden armour: a small jacket with metal studs, a tabard underneath the jacket, and a black garment under the tabard. She also has elbow-length leather gloves and a leather strap around her bicep.

Isador has long dark hair that waves as though he’s just taken it out of a braid. He has thick eyebrows, a long and straight nose, prominent cheekbones, and several age lines across his face, especially around his eyes and mouth. He’s wearing a shirt with wide sleeves that ends in a cuff just past his elbow, as well as an open vest. He has a tattoo of a flower on the back of his left hand – a gaillardia.]

(She/ her for Grace, he/she for Isador)

[quaxorascal]

She had always loved Romance and happy endings And so she gave, And gave, and gave Romance and happy endings And smiles and love To others, in abundance Until, as she aged And as she gave She faded into obscurity Those who knew her: To hundreds of children, She was a mother; To her best friend, She was a partner; To Pa, to Father, She was a daughter. To the country’s Hero, She was a sister;  And a flame keeper. In her final years She was all alone: Sister, Father, Pa, Wife, And hundreds of children Grew up and left. She smiled despite pain: “Soon,” she would say, “I’ll see my sister;” But she never knew Her sister wasn’t there At the Maker’s side. Her sister was nowhere Her sister was everywhere And she never knew.

Romance and happy endings Had passed her by; She was all alone.

Your faves are problematic: Shay @sleepyspoonie and Iz @quaxorascal

"I love Idina’s parents so much” “I do too”

The previous day: “What if we had an AU where Isador was captured and taken back to the Circle when Idina was two so Evan had to raise Idina on his own?”

The following day: “What if we had a spinoff of that AU where Isador was made Tranquil?”

[quaxorascal]

ask meme! for the amell-suranas, do 1, 2, 8, and 19, and for the amell-couslands, do 15, 17, 17, and 24 >:0

Sounds perfect to me ;0 (from this meme)

Amell-Surana family: Theresa, Idina, and baby Averill

1. How many children does your character have? How many would they ideally WANT?

Just the one, who is the most precious and sweet son in the whole wide world. Idina would ideally Like more than the one child, but frankly not having more isn’t a bad thing, for health reasons (Dee is a Tiny woman) and for job reasons (one kid is hard enough to raise when you’re the Warden-Commander and Warden-Constable, not that these girls put any less effort into raising him for it). In AUs where they aren’t so busy I could see more than one happening, but Idina isn’t upset or anything for only having Avi

(The rest is under the cut because this Will get long)

2. How did the children become a part of the family? Were they born into it? Adopted? Somehow else? Talk about the journey! :D

This depends on the AU we’re working on but my personal favourite is the “canon + Avi” AUs where Avi is conceived shortly after the events of Awakening. Long story short, Tess was skewered by a darkspawn during the fight, Idina just barely brought her back from the brink of death but there was still shit that had to be healed naturally, and Avi was conceived basically as soon as Tess was in any condition to fool around. Ridiculous Girls

Said development put a couple of plans on hold though: Idina had wanted to find her parents after Tess healed, but she herself wasn’t going to be in any shape to travel much. Tess, being the sweet girlfriend she is, secretly invited Idina’s parents to Vigil’s Keep when Idina was about four or five months along, and she also proposed to Idina while the future granddads were about. All in all a very happy sappy reunion. Idina cried because hormones, Isador cried because he Had to

8. What are some of the character’s favorite memories from their kids’ childhoods?

Naturally with his parents being the powerful af mages they are, Avi turned out to be a mage himself, and some of Idina’s favourite memories of his childhood involve teaching him magic. The first time he ever showed her a healing spell with the confidence of someone who’d mastered it her heart swelled with pride and she definitely had to pick him up and hug him close. His learning shapeshifting was a fun time as well, especially since I like to think he picked up on it rather quickly and was never above using it to pop in to see his moms at work to show him what he could do, or just to pay them a visit

Idina is ofc also fond of memories where bits of herself were apparent in her son. Stuff like his interest in having his own garden, “don’t tell your Mom” moments where she would sneak him some candy or an extra cookie, such like that

19. Talk about a time the children scared their parents.

Going back to shapeshifting, there’s an AU where Tess is Inquisitor on top of being Hero of Ferelden, and when Avi exists at the same time, there was an instance where he flew as a bird from Vigil’s Keep to Skyhold to see his Mom because he missed her. He naturally didn’t tell anyone what he was doing, so Idina was absolutely and completely distressed when she couldn’t find her son, and Tess was equally distressed that her son had flown like 300 miles in the middle of a war to see her. He was, to quote myself, “So Fucking Grounded” when he was brought back to the Keep – and no he’s not allowed to fly back on his own

Amell-Cousland family: Theresa, Sutton, and babies Thybalt and Wynona

15. Is there a toy/book/game the character is almost as excited about as the child (or even MORE so than the child? :D)

In canon-compliant AUs Sutton is definitely more interested in their family’s history than Thybalt or Wynona would be as kids, but that won’t stop her from telling them about their grandparents’ involvement in the Fereldan Rebellion whenever they’re talking about that part of history. Sutton’s just as excited about hide-and-seek as her kids, though; Castle Cousland is a big place, and she grew up here too, so she knows of all the best nooks and crannies to hide in (or so she thinks, until she finds Thybalt on the roof above the kitchen somehow)

16. Sleep time! Talk about the sleeping arrangements and rituals of the family through the years!

Sutton likes sleeping with her kids nearby, she really does. In most AUs she and Tess have enough money to afford a whole other room for the kids, but Sutton would rather sleep with her babies in her bed until they’re old enough to start picking on each other lmao (in most AUs there’s like, a year and a half at most between the two births so the siblings are Close in age and picking on each other in as inevitability)

17. Talk about what happens when a child gets sick.

Sutton absolutely frets whenever anyone she cares about is sick or injured, and her children are not an exception. She does a fair bit of hovering around the poor dears, keeping an eye on them if they need anything like food, water, medicine, something to keep them entertained, etc. She’s a fuckin softie, though she does more or less keep her kids in their room until they’re better to make sure they recuperate/ their sibling doesn’t catch what they got

On a slightly different but similar vein, if the child is injured instead of sick she will laugh with the child about the injury, but only after making 100% sure that the child is not in pain. Especially if the injury was caused by a small mistake or absentmindedness, she wants them to learn from their injuries but not be ashamed for getting hurt

24. Has having children changed the character? How?

In one of our AUs having Thybalt absolutely changed Sutton’s life and changed it for the better. She was a pirate captain (Bryce Cousland hopped onto Eleanor’s ship after the Fereldan Occupation was over and done with) and Tess was a noble (her father never sent his four youngest children to the Circle); a series of Bad Choices happened that led to Thybalt’s conception of Sutton’s ship. He was born long after Tess was returned to her father, and Sutton fell in love with him slowly at first, then hard and fast after she was used to the idea of Son. Having Thybalt in her life made Sutton all the more aware of her actions and the consequences they brought with them; his spending his developing years on her ship made her softer and more patient, but it also gave her someone in close proximity who she was more than willing to fight tooth and nail for. She couldn’t be too reckless in her protecting, though, lest Thyb be left without a mother

In basically all other AUs where Thyb and/ or Wynona exist Sutton has either already learned to be patient and soft or has always been like that lmao, it’s the one AU where she changes dramatically like that
