[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

18 and 19 for va’Renan and Noya!! And also 9 for Noya and June <3

[ask game]

Heyy, thanks for the ask! :]

18. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?

Var'renan: That they probably have a kid??? I thought Morri wouldn't have Kieran since Renan refused the ritual but sb told me she still has him when the Warden sleeps with her at any time so uh. Yeah. Haven't sat down and thought about it properly yet though. (also, still need to play Witch Hunt)

Noya: That she and Zev maybe become an item some time after the Blight? Not set in stone but in one version of events it could happen i think

19. What is your favorite fact about your OC?

Var'renan: That since Tamlen was the one with a troublemaker reputation, whenever Renan did something and people automatically assumed it was Tamlen he'd get insufferably smug about it.

Noya: That she is very eager to try out and learn new things

(i don't really have One Favourite Thing about them so i just picked something i like abt them x'd)

9. Are they based off of you, in some way? 

Isn't every oc? xdd But to name some things i have in common with them...

Noya: Being short xD Their "the more i fail the more determined i get to succeed" mentality. Their brand of humour. The tendency to talk too loud. Her love for drawing :)

June: The ADHD. Her having a hard time with social graces. Her general logic/way of problem solving. Her vocal range kinda? Also again being short lol. Tho her body type is closest to mine out of the bunch.

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

Hellooooooooooo

4, 8 and 12 for everyone, or all of your blorbos you'd think you'd have more to say! :3

[ask game]

Hiii!! Thanks for enabling me Arja fhsfdskldf, and apologies for the wait! :')

4. In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts? 

Neira: chantry indoctrination u.u

Kala: being casteless and the iron hold the carta had on her

Liam: the Everything about his family but especially leandra

Lilian: being an apostate, and malcom

June: being a mage, and coming from a religious noble family

Ari: in a roundabout way, some parts of qun teachings his parents passed on to him

Adriel: all the ways in which she stands in between things

Noya: her family

Var'renan: her clan, specially tamlen

8. What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story? 

this ended up being more a "which traits do you share" oops but i hope that works!

Neira: being acutely aware of responsibility, trying too hard to avoid/postpone making decisions, her relationship with her sexuality (& gender, kinda)

Kala: her brand of defiance & stubbornness & sense of self, her fascination for the world around her and the live for little things, her wayof emotionally detaching herself when needed

Liam: the tendency to get too melancholy and stuck on the past, the wanting to stay out of drama the best he can. & his general sense of privacy and boundaries around it are similar to mine i think

Lilian: her the way she deals with intrapersonal conflicts and her attitude towards life, her brand of protectiveness and bond with her siblings

June: her trouble with social graces and expectations/politeness, her body type kinda?, her way of thinking wrt problem solving

Ari: wanting to get things done by himself, overthinking social interactions, "i'll just finish this one thing" "oh crap it's 3am"

12. What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)? 

Neira: her fuckign. Face shape. Sometimes it looks just like i want sometimes it looks awful, it's a 50/5p thing. Also i never get her to look skinny and lanky in the way i want. & drawing burn scars is hard </3

Kala: the braiidd i struggle sm with braids and i always forget to adjust the length over time lol. Also her height & making her look fat and beefy in the way i want

Liam: height again </3 also his dai era hair..... how even does one draw short spiky hair that sticks up all over the place

Lilian: still cant quite settle on the exact body type for her... And her nose, i can never get it right smh

June: very easy to make her look too young rip

Ari: horns >:( specially the broken one lolol i'm so sorry Ari for constantly butchering your horns 😔. And his proportions give me trouble smh....

Noya: i actually hate drawing her face tattoo more than renan's vallaslin lol. Also her hair and nose.. i still struggle with curly hair and i am super finicky about the nose shape and i can never get it Quite Right

Var'renan: i def have a tendency to exaggerate their nose too much cos i really like the convex shape :') Also, vallaslin TT

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

cat wardens? more likely than you think!

Since the other guys got cat designs it's only fair that these two do too >:3
