Kost Aban as a Companion

(Face Claim: Brant Daugherty) Kost Aban, Road Dad of the Inner Circle and Magesmith for the Inquisition. He’s charming and sweet, and he’ll handle requisitions so you never have to worry about that Requisition Officer ever again. Also he makes travel snacks as well as serves as a portable weapon and armor crafting station. Did I mention he’s romanceable?

Companion Name: Kost Aban (lit. “Peaceful Ocean” in Qunlat) Race, Class, and Specialization: Qunari Mage (Rift Mage) Varric’s Nickname for Him: Shiny (for his horn ornaments) Default Tarot Card: Page of Wands

How He Is Recruited: His adopted human son, Roland, a young man of about 22, will rush out into the plaza in Val Royeaux on the first visit and request the Inquisitor come meet his father. Kost will immediately offer his services as a magesmith to the Inquisition, as well as his son’s skills as an apprentice. If the Inquisitor is a Qunari, he will also mention that sometimes it helps to have a friendly face around that one doesn’t have to look down to see. Where He Is In Skyhold: With his son, Dagna (and conditionally) Harritt in the Undercroft. He can generally be found talking smithing techniques or occasionally insisting Roland and Dagna go get refreshments and sunlight because they’ve been working too long. If he is recruited, he will also set up a cozy-looking sitting area/lounge in the Undercroft. Things He Generally Approves of: Upgrading Skyhold, completing Dagna’s sidequests, not siding with the Qunari, showing mercy Things He Generally Disapproves of: Siding with the Qunari, executing prisoners, siding with the Templars Mages, Templars, Other? As a mage himself and a former Saarebas, Kost definitely approves of siding with the mages and giving them freedom.

Romanceable? Yes, by any gender or race.  Friends in the Inquisition: Blackwall, Sera, and Cole. He befriends Sera through Dagna, Blackwall because of their shared enjoyment of crafting, and Cole because Kost can’t help but adopt the kid. He becomes friends with Iron Bull if the Chargers are saved. Small Side mission: Collect 10 dawnstone and 10 bloodstone. Kost will Greatly Approve and unlock schematics for Magewrought Weapons

Companion Quest: Kost is happy to have his son working with him but wonders whether Roland might prefer a different career or perhaps to attend the University of Orlais. He once caught Roland studying magic books and worries that he’s pressuring him into apprenticeship. He asks the Inquisitor to speak to Roland instead. When confronted, Roland admits that he’s been studying magic books so that he can tinker and improve his prosthetic arm, but he didn’t want to offend his dad, who spent years working on the magical formulae. He asks the Inquisitor not to tell.

Option 1: Tell Kost - This will net Great Approval from Kost and Cole, and Kost will talk to Roland and say that he couldn’t be offended that Roland is so interested and asks for them to proceed together with the tinkering. Father and son embrace and thank the Inquisitor

Option 2: Cover for Roland - The Inquisitor has the choice of telling Kost that Roland was merely curious about the process of magic or lie and say the magic books were hiding naughty material. Either way Kost will agree to let the matter drop.

Cole’s Reflection on His Thoughts: “The mask is gone and the bonds broken, burnt away and banished. My voice shall never more lie lost and leashed, locked away behind bars of word and deed.” Comments on Mages: “I know what it is like to be born different, and I once knew nothing more than imprisonment and shame for what I was. I have nothing but sadness to know that even here, others share my fate.” Comments on Templars: “If your protector is also your jailer, I think you have somewhat of a conflict of interest.” When looking for something: “Listen... there is something...” When finding a campsite: “Allow me to whip up a little something from these field rations.” When he is low on health: “I will not make my son an orphan again!” When he sees a dragon: “Not that I’m saying we should fight it, but... I could make some seriously good stuff out of dragon bone and hide.” Default saying: “Do you think Roland’s doing alright?”

Travel Banter:

Vivienne: So, Ser Aban. I have heard much of your magesmithing techniques. The Formari believe you are usurping their dominance over the market. Kost: I’m afraid, Madam, the Formari are mistaken. I happen to make useful items, not decoration. Vivienne (amused): Indeed? Then you must prize function over form in your pieces. Kost: Of course. I want to keep people alive, even at the cost of fashion. Vivienne: Some costs are worth dying for, darling.

Kost: I didn’t get the chance to thank you, Blackwall. Blackwall: What for? Kost: The extra firewood. My forge requires more than a normal smithy to stay working, and you provided. Blackwall: Wasn’t for you specially. I... I like chopping wood. Kost: And teaching my son how to swing an axe played no role? Blackwall: Oh. Kost: Too many people treat him as though he’s useless. I saw how happy he was with you. So as I said. Thank you... for the firewood. Blackwall: ...you’re welcome. Kost: There’s a magewrought sword with your name on it when we return to Skyhold.

(If Cole was made more human) Kost: You don’t have to handle everything, you know. You changed, right down to the core. Cole: I am fine. Kost: Sure, sure. Just as long as you know you don’t have to be. We’ve got you, Cole. Starting with rest. I got you a spare blanket - I’ve seen you shivering in your sleep. Cole: But I don’t- Kost: I’ve seen what you do for people. You’re not invisible anymore, you know. So it’s time you let someone else help you. Do you mind it if it’s me? Cole: I... th-thank you.

Iron Bull: You don’t like me much, do you? Kost (sarcastically): I didn’t know you were going for universal popularity. Iron Bull: Ha. You talk like one of these Orlesian bigwigs. Too important to waste time on mercs? (If the Inquisitor is a Qunari) And what about being “a friendly face,” huh? Kost: You won’t get a reaction out of me, Ben-Hassrath. Iron Bull: Even a lack of reaction is a reaction. Kost: Fuck you. How’s that for a reaction?

Friendship: “Ah! Come here for a shield or a cup of tea and some chat? Either way, I’m at your service.”

The Fade

How he reacts: “Oh, I’m not enjoying this at all.” Their Tombstone: Bereavement What the Fears look like: Himself in the mask and chains of a Saarebas What the Nightmare says: “The so-called peaceful ocean. I’ve been watching you for years now. The eyes of the Qun are everywhere and now, there’s nothing you can do to deflect their gaze.” Their reflection about the Fade: “Never again. Never.” Hawke or Warden: Depends on Hawke’s actions. If Hawke sided with the Chantry in DA2, Kost will suggest that they are responsible for the Qunari improving their foothold and force and believe they should atone in the Fade. If not, Kost suggests the Qun’s respect for Hawke is one of the only things keeping the Qunari from invading and believes they should escape the Fade.

The Wardens

Their feelings: Believes the Wardens make hard choices to save the world from the Blight. Exile or Allies?: Allies

The Ball

How they feel: “It isn’t my first ball, but I’m surprised at how many people I know, here. Babette de Launcet just tried to poach me from the Inquisition!” Where they linger: The garden balcony, near the bard singing in Orlesian Are they good at the Game?: He’s not great at being fake, but he is good at schmoozing, especially since his smithing skills are an avid topic of discussion. What people say about them: “Did you see the Magesmith walking by? So tall and dashing...””You do realize he is a Qunari, don’t you?” “My dear, that’s all part of the appeal. Imagine those burly muscles sweating at a forge...” Gaspard, Briala, or Celene?: Briala, or Celene with Briala - he fears Gaspard in power most of all, and he’d hate if war broke out between Orlais and Ferelden with the Qunari lurking at the borders.

Temple of Mythal

Rituals or Hole?: Rituals Agree with the Elves’ bargain?: Agree. Morrigan or Inquisitor for the Well?: The Inquisitor

Comments on Canon Romance

Cassandra: “The Seeker? A worthy choice. Though... I can’t help but wonder whether she’d choose love over duty should the time come.” Dorian: “Dorian? That must be fun - I hope he doesn’t criticize the patterns of your britches!” Sera: “Roland likes Sera - I think you two will get up to all sorts of mischief together.” Iron Bull: “Bull? Well... you do remember he was a Qunari spy, right? Never mind, I’m sure you know what you’re doing.” Josephine: “Don’t you hurt her, Inquisitor. She’s a wonderful person and a light in this world.” Cullen: “You know, I can craft certain soft lamps for the night. I’ve seen the look of a man who doesn’t sleep much on his face. Perhaps it will help.” Blackwall: “Tell me, I’m curious. Is the beard scratchy?” Solas: “D’you know, he hates tea? Suspicious, if you ask me.”

Sexual/Racial preference:  Any race or gender. Nickname for PC: Little One Romance only mission: (Can only be completed after Kost’s love confession) A cutscene featuring Kost and the Inquisitor in bed plays, involving a pillow talk discussion where Kost says “I love you.” The Inquisitor can choose to say it back or not, and ask about his past. The conversation finishes with Kost suggesting marriage would be more than acceptable to him, although he wouldn’t pressure the Inquisitor into it. The quest involves speaking to Kost’s son Roland to get his blessing to propose to Kost. The Inquisitor must perform a War Table mission to get Roland some parts to aid in the proposal, which will affect the next cutscene. If Cullen is chosen, Roland will be given some explosives and dyes and he will shoot fireworks during the proposal. If Leliana is selected, smoke pellets will be given and Roland will make a clockwork smoke machine to give a mystical air to the proposal. If Josephine is chosen, Roland will meet with some bards and make a music box to play while the Inquisitor proposes. The Inquisitor will then meet with Kost in the Skyhold garden at night and propose, choosing dialogue options that are sweet, nervous, or humorous, all resulting in Kost accepting the proposal and promising to marry the Inquisitor and love them forever - once Corypheus has been dealt with.

Dialog to being asked for a kiss: “Did you come down here just for this? How romantic... I must make it worth your while, little one.”

Halamshiral dialog: “Of all the magnificence in this palace... I can say without exaggeration that nothing compares to you.”

Being asked to dance during mission: “Josephine would kill me if I kept you from some diplomat or duke. But I shall gladly sacrifice myself once you have made your rounds.”

Asking to dance post-mission: “I- I warn you, little one, I’m not very good. But I’d do anything for you.”

What Cole says about companion to PC: “There was always darkness behind the mask, both of the masks he’s worn. But now it is safe and soft. Now there is you.”

Who is concerned about the relationship?: Vivienne. Josephine (for political reasons)

Who supports the relationship?: Blackwall, Dorian, Cullen

Who had a bet running on it?: Cassandra, Sera

Banter(between NPCs):

Vivienne: (after the romance only mission) I understand I am to offer you and the Inquisitor congratulations? Kost: We are engaged, yes. Vivienne: I do hope you understand what you are doing. Kost: I understand that I am in love. I understand that I am loved in return. And I understand that political considerations do not matter to me when I am with the Inquisitor. Does that satisfy you, Madam? Vivienne: Satisfy? No. Please me? Quite. I wish you every happiness.

Blackwall: You’ve... been around a while, haven’t you? Kost: Er... yeah? Blackwall: And the Inquisitor doesn’t mind? Not that it’s a problem, not that I think it’s a problem or anything, just- Kost: Ser Blackwall, do you have your eye on someone younger than you? Blackwall: What? I- where would you think tha- no. Kost (teasing): Fascinating. You blush right through your beard! Blackwall (groaning playfully): Oh, piss off!

Sera: You and the big man, eh? Hehe, because- Kost: Sera. You’re not subtle. Vivienne (if present): My dear, your lack of tact is simply appalling. Sera: Rolly likes you too, yeah? You better not hurt his dad or you know what? Kost: It’s arrows, isn’t it? Sera: Arrows!

Flirt options: Upon reaching Skyhold and unlocking the Undercroft, Kost will be ecstatic at the sight of the new smithing area and the Inquisitor can say he looks adorable when excited. This opens up a dialogue option later to begin romancing him.

If PC breaks it off: “Ah. I- uh. Of course. I hope I haven’t done anything to offend you. I shall continue to help the Inquisition as best I can.”

Love confession: Kost will ask to take a walk with the Inquisitor and they will end up on the battlements. Kost will talk about his life as a smith and as a father and say that he never seemed to end up with anyone to love and romance... until the Inquisitor. He says he hopes he didn’t read the situation wrong, but that he has fallen hopelessly for them.

Romanced tarot card: King of Pentacles

End game dialog: “Isn’t that something? No matter how hard I tried, I could never forge something as beautiful as a sunrise. I could never capture that kind of beauty. And yet... it is nothing compared to your face. The sun rises and sets each day without fail, but I promise to be even more constant for you - I am with you.”

Kost Aban picking Amayian up and kissing him

He is not used to being the one picked up, but he’s not opposed to it. Cheeks red, a smile on his lips, Amayian would try to hide his face in Kost’s neck, mumbling how he likes being in his arms. He does return the picking up and kisses back, do not think otherwise.

[beelzebard]

2, 5, 6, 32 for Anaan and/or Revka?

Thank you for the ask!! I'm gonna do both again :)

2. What is the thing they feel the most guilty about?

Anaan: Leaving home. When they first left they didn't give a shit about it but after they came back a few years later it really hit. His parents were relieved to see him okay, thinking he got taken by the Circle or the Ben-Hassrath. His mom (Kost) was practically in tears seeing him again.

Revka: Not doing what she was "supposed" to do. As a casteless she didn't have much worth in Orzammar besides pumping out kids for the upper castes, and considering she's a lesbian she has no interest in it. It's gotten better the longer she's been on the surface and with Leliana, but she still feels shit about it because of how deeply its instilled in her.

5. List 3 fears; one “surface level” fear, one “repressed” fear, and one “deep dark” fear.

Anaan:

Surface level fear — Bears. They're fucking big on their hind legs and he gets freaked out by creatures that are bigger than him.

Repressed fear — That he's not good enough for people, both in a platonic and romantic sense.

Deep dark fear — That he really is as dangerous as people think he is.

Revka:

Surface level fear — Thunderstorms. Even after being on the surface for so long it still scares her.

Repressed fear — That she's useless because she doesn't want to have kids.

Deep dark fear — That being a Paragon won't be enough for the Stone to take her back.

6. What is something that never fails to make them feel sick?

Anaan: Mushy foods. It's more of a texture thing than an allergy but he can't do it. He loses all of his appetite after he tastes something mushy.

Revka: Being on a boat. She gets seasick so easily its ridiculous.

32. Do they have a bad relationship with their parents?

Anaan: It's... complicated. His parents were all still a bit Qun-y even after being Tal-Vashoth, but his mom and tama (Sataa) were better than his dad (Aban). His dad was a former Arvaarad, and after Anaan's magic surfaced things got really tense really quickly. He was often really controlling with strict rules on curfews, who he could hang out with and where, etc. He ended up running away and joining the Valo-Kas at 17 because of it. He came back a few years later, and they mended some old wounds, but things are still tense between them because of it. They have a ways to go to being on good terms again.

Revka: Oh absolutely. She doesn't know who her dad is (she likes to think he was a warrior) but her mom fucking sucks. They got into a lot of fights when she was younger because she wasn't willing to be a Noble Hunter like her sister had to be, and without Beraht keeping her as hired muscle she'd probably have ended up as one. If it weren't for Rica she would never go back to Orzammar.

✏️ Any particular reason for the names you used for your ocs?

–// I have a lot of ocs, so I will pick some. It’s going to be long either way… ))

Overwatch

Najma (Najma Daher)

When Naj was first made, they had Prima as placeholder name and their kit was based around light, but I struggled to really place them in the universe. They were still based in Oasis, with sumerian aesthetic, and they were an AU for a fandomless oc. I was still trying to pick where the heck they were from. I added Najma as possible name because it means star and is Arabic. As they finally developed to suit the universe more and be an own character, the name stuck, because I like it and they are a warm person and the sun keeps us alive, and Naj was made to help keep someone alive. Dunia, their owner, was named to reflect her meaning in Naj’s life. Dunia was their whole reason for existing, their world, their life. 

Najma coincidentally also works for…other reasons.

Najma’s code name, Nazar, comes from that their abilities are most effective when looking into their lights and optics, which flare up when they use their ult as well. Their optics are also blue.The evil eye, which causes harm upon those who have been struck by it.

I think Daher meant clear. Najma does’t actually have a surname, as they are not a member of the family rather than just property of said family. However, I still wanted the surname to be something with a tiny bit of a fitting meaning. Rather than doing it by naming conventions used with Mamun, I went with them just having just a family name, much in Europe and the US. I also kept it to just two names this time.

Mamun Wasif Said

Mamun had a long list of names on his hero sheet. See, the given name is an aspiratory trait, the second the father’s name, and the third the grandfather’s name or family name. In Mamun’s case, Said is his grandfather’s name. So, that means Mamun’s dad is called Wasif. Gien names he could have been Majdi (commendable, praiseworthy), Marwan, Naseer, etc. His surname could have been Assaf, Kassar, Al-Mansur (the victorious), or Nasrallah (god’s victory). Now, I am not at all close to being an expert on arabic naming conventions, so I was like let’s keep it simple. 

Now, Mamun is supposed to be a tank hero and his character design was made to emphasise that he is a soft and huggable man who deserves the whole world. He needed to look sweet,warm, trustworthy, and dependable. Mamun is a name that feels like it has soft edges. It’s gentle. There’s no hard tones in it. Mamun means dependable, which is something he wants to be and his parents would have wanted him to be as well. A good son, brother, and eventually (if he so wished) husband. 

I forgot what Wasif meant… I think I just liked how it sounded with Mamun compared to the other names listed along with it. I matched several names that were listed on his hero sheet behind Mamun and they didn’t sound nearly as good with it as Wasif did. It means ‘one who praises’.

Said was just a good name to follow Mamun Wasif with. It just wraps it up nicely when I wanted three names in there. It means happy. 

Spigel

Spigel’s name is explained in his bio, I think. The name is given because he’s able to copy the appearance of a person and uses this after eliminating them to blend into a faction he’s trying to infiltrate or wipe out. It takes observation of mannerisms, appearance, speech patterns, etc. to do a convincing guise, and once that is done, it will be like looking into a mirror for the target.

He was always called Spigel because that’s Luxembourgish for mirror. Sure, it’s not smart for the assassin to take a nickname from his own personal origin, but…it’s fine if a guy from Luxembourg gave him that nickname rather than him giving himself said nickname.

Roland Marie Schroeder 

Roland is a pretty common name in Luxembourg, and Marie is a common middle name. I liked Roland as a name, because is seems warm and strong, and Roland is a quiet dude at times, but even though he’s pretty small as well, he can take up a lot of social space just by being a little… dramatic. He would have liked the name because it is, as Monty Python would say, woody. At least, I think it was Monty Python, I’m not sure anymore and can’t find it.

Michael Abatangelo 

Michael was the general of the archangels, and putting Michael together with Abatangelo makes it sound close to Michelangelo. Though, the latter was on accident and I was like yep that’s his name now. I went through several names I don’t really remember. Michael was a strong name that also sounded pleasant.

Fable

Aidan Fawkes

Aidan is an Irish name that means fire. I didn’t know quite what to call him. I didn’t want a name that was just big strong man large energy. It needed to sound not too thick, in a way, maybe a little light to suit his personality. He also had a lot of energy growing up and was a sweet guy. 

His father’s name is actually Mac Lochlainn. That’s a reference and not chosen for the meaning because it’s not used on Aidan. Also, it’s just really nice sounding surname. His grandma on his father’s side’s surname was Kelly. A very common surname where they were from. Anyway, Aidan’s dad didn’t want his kids to have the disadvantage of having a foreign surname. The given names, however, weren’t too odd, and both of his parents did want to give him a link with his father’s heritage in their names. Furthermore, he was born with red hair. 

As such, Aidan was given as his name, and he was bestowed with the surname of his mother, Fawkes. I picked Fawkes because 1) It sounds good with Aidan 2) it means falcon, making his name fire falcon 3) Guy Fawkes. 

Duncan Reynold 

I know the hero in Fable 2 is called Sparrow. However, that is a title/nickname, not a legit name. Surely, his parents, whom Sparrow canonically knew, gave him a real name. I wanted him to have a legit name. I wanted him to be of scottish-type origin. Now, Duncan has tanned skin from being out and stuff and dark hair. He’s also a brawny guy. He would have picked himself a pretty awesome name that feels strong, also… it has can in it, because he can do it. I jest. 

Duncan is a mix of two parts. Together, these parts form a name meaning dark-haired warrior or dark warrior. Of course, he doesn’t know that. He just thinks it’s an awesome name. 

Reynold is a carry over from trying to give king Logan a surname. It’s also a mix or two elements, advice and rule. English meaning is wise/powerful ruler (or something like that. It can also be advice from a ruler or king’s advisor, but let’s ignore that). While Duncan was that, Logan eventually proved not be.

Mass Effect

Medesa Adrestis

It’s actually from Medusa, because she’s a bit of a protector who gets spun into a villain because of the methods she uses to protect herself and others, which is often violent and rather fatal, since slave traders deserve no rights. I think there was something else, but I forgot… Oh, right! Her surname, Adrestis. I saved it in my drafts and idk if it’s still there…

I looked it up to jog my mind!

It’s from Adrestia and Adrasteia, and I didn’t want to name her exactly after that despite Asari names looking painfully ancient Greek inspired and very feminine. 

Adrestia is a figure from Greek mythology, she who cannot be escaped, venerated as a goddess of revolt and just retribution. Adrasteia, “inescapable”, was a nymph charged with taking care of a child Zeus. Medesa was charged with taking care of Toreg. 

Vicarius Hzzek and Lictor Kgrln

So, I won’t explain their names, because I assume Kett names are either just ID codes or can’t be easily changed into a more human tongue. I will go for their titles, though I believe I have explained it in a hc post before. Kett ranks seem based on Roman Empire influences, as is a part of their culture in general. They have Cardinals, Archons, Anointed, Ascendants. These seem religious. A Vicarius is a word that means substitute or deputy. It’s the root of the English word “vicar” as well and is used in things like vice-president. Anyway, Hzzek is a secondary to a Cardinal, making her vice-cardinal of an exaltation facility. 

As for Lictor, this comes from another Latin thing. A Lictor is a type of bodyguard to a magistrate. Kgrln is one of Hzzek’s Destined, who is also assigned with escorting and guarding her. He does this together with other Destined who would also be of the Lictor role/title. 

Dragon Age

Kata

Kata used to be an arvaarad and he considered himself the death of many a saarebas. That, and he is an assassin type, like a katari. He brings death to those who try to oppose him with violence, so basically he’s still death, just to other people now that he’s no longer in the qun. It’s sort of a method of intimidation. If a qunari is told they’re about to meet death, they might reconsider their current course. 

Kost

Kost had another name, aban, which probably means sea, when going by “Meraad astaarit, meraad itwasit, aban aqun.” Which means “The tide rises, the tide falls, the sea is unchanged.” He chose it, because the sea is unchanging and also clam. He was the same after leaving the qun as he was when he left. 

Eventually, however, he changed his name to Kost, after staying with a group of Tal-Vashoth who helped him become less stuck in his qun ways and more able to see himself as a person. He came to be at peace with himself and took on the task of assisting some other new Tal-Vashoth in the process. As such, he took on the name Kost, “peace”, to reflect this.

Shok info

I’ve posted this before but I have new followers. So here is some info about my giant boy (that can also be found @shokadaar)

Shokrakar facts-

Shokrakar Taylen Adaar

52-55 years old

Bisexual

LI- Iron Bull/OCs

Two-handed warrior/Reaver

Male

Qunari/Tal’Vashoth

Softest Beard in Thedas

Bread Addict

Shokrakar Past-

His mother(Asaara) and father(Kata) were once members of the Qun. Once Asaara discovered she was pregnant her and Kata plotted to escape. Once they escaped the quickly boarded a boat, unsure of the destination. They soon landed in Thedas, not wanting to get caught, they decided not to live in any villages or cities. They wandered into the mountains and using just his sword Kata cut down trees and built them a home. They settled in quickly and had more children. 6 more boys, Aban, Aqun, Kaaras, Kost, Meraad, and Tal. They also had 2 daughters Hissera and Issala.

Shokrakar was the oldest and strongest of all the boys, his father taught him to fight at an early age and Shokrakar held his first sword when he was just 8. As the years grew on Shokrakar realised his family were struggling. He left home at 16 to search for money and supplies to help his family. He headed down the mountain to find the cities and was quickly picked up by a mercenary company. Assuming, because of his height and build, that Shokrakar was older they asked him to join, but kept him even after discovering he was so young. Every few months he would take a cart of supplies up the mountain and deliver them to his family.

Shokrakar had seen many wars, many new rulers, and a lot of death. He decided that he would never become a leader. He never wanted that responsibility, he never wanted people to trust him then to let them down.

The Inquisition-

For Shokrakar becoming Inquisitor was like being thrown in the deep end of a pool when you don’t know how to swim. It was a shock and he often considered leaving in the night. But he couldn’t, they’d either find him or all the people who needed him would die. He stayed and decided to do the best he could to help. Thankfully the guidance of Leliana, Cullen, and Josephine helped him though.

But joining did have its perks. He made a lot of friends such as Blackwall and Vivienne. He learnt a lot from Dorian, Solas, and Cole. He realised how strong people really could be from Cassandra. And he found love in The Iron Bull. He had never loved, or been loved, it was exciting and terrifying but he loved every second of it.

But still, at the back of his mind. A nagging, telling him he was too old, too weak, and he was going to fail. Every choice he made, lead to serious consequences. He often worried that his choices would end up killing innocents, he never wanted that to happen. But he did make some good choices.

He freed the mages, for the first in who knows how long, they had complete control of themselves. He made Leliana Divine to make sure they kept their freedom. He helped Cullen off his lyrium addiction, allowing him to regain himself. He conscripted The Wardens, keeping them close by.

Nombres Qunari

Esta es una compilación de nombres Qunari y Tal Vashoth.

QUNARI En el Qun, los nombres de los nacimientos se mantienen en secreto por las Tamassran, y no son más que una serie de números (que indican las circunstancias del nacimiento, el linaje, etc). Por lo tanto, las personas son llamadas por su papel en la sociedad. Por ejemplo, si estás en el ejército, tu nombre es tu rango. Como tal, una persona puede pasar por varios nombres en su vida, si sus roles cambian.

Hay que tener en cuenta que las mujeres no son parte del Antaam (militar) porque los Qunari creen que las mujeres no deberían pelear. (Sin embargo, un hombre que alguna vez fue llamado mujer es tratado como cualquier otro hombre y puede hacerlo). Además, los saarebas no se consideran nada más que armas, no personas con género, y los Antaam los usan como tales. En el mismo sentido, hay algunos roles que son estrictamente para las mujeres, como el Arigena. 

La lista a continuación, por lo tanto, tendrá marcadores diferenciales de género (M)asculino, (F)emenino, (N)eutral.

Títulos conocidos usados como nombres en el Qun

For anyone who does wanna ship OCs here is some info about Shok(warning- he’s old.)

Shokrakar facts-

52-55 years old

Bisexual

Two-handed warrior

Male

Qunari

Softest Beard in Thedas

Shokrakar Past-

His mother(Asaara) and father(Kata) were once members of the Qun. Once Asaara discovered she was pregnant her and Kata plotted to escape. Once they escaped the quickly boarded a boat, unsure of the destination. They soon landed in Thedas, not wanting to get caught, they decided not to live in any villages or cities. They wandered into the mountains and using just his sword Kata cut down trees and built them a home. They settled in quickly and had more children. 6 more boys, Aban, Aqun, Kaaras, Kost, Meraad, and Tal. They also had 2 daughters Hissera and Issala.

Shokrakar was the oldest and strongest of all the boys, his father taught him to fight at an early age and Shokrakar held his first sword when he was just 8. As the years grew on Shokrakar realised his family were struggling. He left home at 16 to search for money and supplies to help his family. He headed down the mountain to find the cities and was quickly picked up by a mercenary company. Assuming, because of his height and build, that Shokrakar was older they asked him to join, but kept him even after discovering he was so young. Every few months he would take a cart of supplies up the mountain and deliver them to his family.

Shokrakar had seen many wars, many new rulers, and a lot of death. He decided that he would never become a leader. He never wanted that responsibility, he never wanted people to trust him then to let them down.

Fear of the dark-

When Shokrakar was 25 he and his mercenary crew were given a job to hunt down a group of Carta to retrieve something they had stolen from a Starkhaven noble, they were offered 200 gold for the job. So Shokrakar and his partner Saar hunted them down to what they thought was an abandoned cave Shokrakar entered the cave, whilst Saar stood watch in the entrance. The Carta were actually hiding and blew up the entrance to the cave, crushing Saar, and trapping Shokrakar inside. Shokrakar tried to save Saar but there was barely any of him left under the rocks. Shokrakar was trapped in there for 4 days. He was starved, and dehydrated, and sleep deprived, he started to hear voices, Saar’s specifically.  They old found him because they found his dagger outside the cave that he used as a marker, it took 4 hours for them to get him out.

The Inquisition-

For Shokrakar becoming Inquisitor was like being thrown in the deep end of a pool when you don’t know how to swim. It was a shock and he often considered leaving in the night. But he couldn’t, they’d either find him or all the people who needed him would die. He stayed and decided to do the best he could to help. Thankfully the guidance of Leliana, Cullen, and Josephine helped him though.

But joining did have its perks. He made a lot of friends such as Blackwall and Vivienne. He learnt a lot from Dorian, Solas, and Cole. He realised how strong people really could be from Cassandra. And he found love in The Iron Bull. He had never loved, or been loved, it was exciting and terrifying but he loved every second of it.

But still, at the back of his mind. A nagging, telling him he was too old, too weak, and he was going to fail. Every choice he made, lead to serious consequences. He often worried that his choices would end up killing innocents, he never wanted that to happen. But he did make some good choices.

He freed the mages, for the first in who knows how long, they had complete control of themselves. He made Leliana Divine to make sure they kept their freedom. He helped Cullen off his lyrium addiction, allowing him to regain himself. He conscripted The Wardens, keeping them close by.

Trespasser-

After discovering the truth about Solas, Shokrakar swore to hunt him down and kill him. He worked hard to save this world and refused to let him kill it. He had lived to long, through too much pain to see it end that way.
