DAI OCs Masterlist!

Organized by last name alphabetically, more minor ocs of mine not mentioned- my wardens are posted separately here. Some of these ocs also have backstories spanning elements of DAII, but most of their appearances are in DAI. IDs are in alt text in interest of streamlining the already very long post.

Astila [she/her]: An ex-chasind driven from her homeland in the Wilds during the Fifth Blight. She spent a short time as a mercenary; when the sky opened she took it as a sign from her gods and she joined up as one of Leliana's agents. She's known for being quick-tempered but playful and generally friendly with a brutality in battle.

Achar Aanavi [ze/zir/zem, she/her]: Born in the Denerim alienage and left young to travel to Rivain in search of work to support zir's mother after zir's father's death. Ze met zir Raiders and joined up as a cabin boy, crawling up the ranks and switching crews several times before finding zir current Raider crew that ze has been with for many years as the first mate! Known for being quiet and authoritative in spite of short stature.

Ilya Abramov [he/they]: He grew up in the Disciples of Andraste. After the Warden slaughtered nearly all of those in Haven after being attacked, he lost both his parents and older sister. He left Haven at around nine or ten and traveled as a merchant for several years before returning to honor the dead. He eventually joins the Inquisition as a scout after the destruction of Haven, and can be found in the Hinterlands scouting or in Skyhold walking around. Known for a nervous demeanor but a brutality in battle among other scouts.

Meraad Adaar [any]: Meraad grew up in Par Vollen as an Antaam member. He was sent to Seheron for military assignment and ascended the ranks there– after about seven years there he was reassigned after contracting soul sickness (PTSD) after striking a blow against a close friend in his platoon after they defected to the Fog Warriors. He corresponded with others and escaped on a ship bound for Rivain with them. They joined up the Valo-Kas mercenaries where he became known for his easygoing demeanor and skill with leadership. Shokrakar eventually made him second in command.

Meraad took on the responsibility of raising another mercenary's child, Hissra. Six years later, an elven child named Ophir attempted to pickpocket him in a busy market, and they became his ward. He joined the Inquisition as a contracted mercenary and fell for a tranquil named Lenamar Dax during his time within the Inquisition. Spent considerable time badgering Cassandra about pursuing the cure for tranquility after her personal quest. Often known for being a gentle giant with a skill for leading in battle.

Hissra Adaar[she/he]: Quiet but self-assured, Hissra is known for being a bit difficult to read. Born to Tal-Vashoth parents, she was raised among the Valo-Kas. Her parents died during a mission in her teens and Meraad and Shaye Adaar took over her care, teaching her how to lead a group. Meraad was especially close to her. Joins the Inquision either as an agent, or in the Inky!au, becomes the Inquisitor and romanced Blackwall. After DAI she devotes herself to fighting back the Qunari invasion of Rivain.

Fen'an Alahannon[he/they/neos]: My personal favorite (biased) (in love with him). He was originally born in Tevinter in servitude and his mother escaped with him to the Anderfels, where the Alahannon clan took him in shortly before her death. Despite his skill with a battleaxe, he's better known for his skill making clothes and textiles.

He's known for being very protective of those close to him, particularly his adopted sister, and only went south due to his sister wanting to join the Inquisition. He stays on as an agent of the Inquisition to watch out for her, though in his time there he falls for Asgeir Brynjarson, an avvarian mage possessed by a spirit of hope. He leaves with Asgeir after Corypheus is defeated to take Dorian up on an offer to help the Lucerni in Tevinter. In the two years before Trespasser he spends most of his time freeing slaves, killing slavers, and working with Dorian to further anti-slavery causes including a measures which make it easier for ex-slaves to become liberati.

Von Bemot[he/him]: Technically his full name is Vonstein, but nobody calls him that. My Kal-Sharok dwarven oc! He became head of his family after his older sibling passed and his parents died young [likely from Blight explosure]. Took over their trading in Tevinter but left to help the Inquisition help fight the Blight in a concrete manner during Inquisition by joining after contacting Josephine. Eventually pursued a grey warden named Dmitri after Adamant. Known for being friendly but still offputting and a bit strange with an eerie ability to sense nearing darkspawn similarly to a grey warden.

Haven't fleshed him out a lot unfortunately but I would like to <3

Markas Cadash[he/any]: A well known member of the Carta who spent his youth smuggling, though he rose up the ranks quickly in favor of making the deals with other Carta houses. Known for being calculating and good at his job, though it falls to the wayside slightly when he becomes Inquisitor. He falls for Josephine and though he continues his pragmatic way of getting things done, he quickly grew to respect her ability to talk people into deals and began using her approach. Became a better person as a result of falling for her, but still a bit cold and self-serving at his core, and uses the Inquisition to his whims more than my others OCs do.

Ithelan Eanmanen[he/neos]: My partner's favorite of my blorbos <3. Grew up in Antiva with his clan and had a natural penchant for lying and charming his way into information. After a clanmate died due to his carelessness, he became more interested in information to keep people he loves safe. Later joined the Inquisition as one of Leliana's top agents and fell in love with Dhaveira Alahannon (Fen'an's adoptive sister) who he'd met once previously and was head over heels for.

Davgon Hofer[he/him]: My somewhat underdeveloped falconeer avvarian oc which I have yet to flesh out too much. Formerly lived in Nevarra but left and later joined Fennec-tooth Hold. He has magic but it's not very powerful and he prefers to use a bow. Known for a quiet, soft-spoken demeanor and skill with hunting. Joins up with the Inquisition as an agent of Leliana's, helping to train her birds and often found in the rookery. Pursued by a rivaini dalish woman named Nadasa during his time in the Inquisition, drawn to her self certainty when speaking with him.

Elgara Lavellan[she/he]: In her early 30s, Elgara is self-assured and well designed to natural leading. She's a pragmatist with a secret playful streak that Sera and Solas often bring out in her. She manages to maneuver well enough to save her entire clan and give them a modicum of political power, and frequently sends letters to her ward, Aya, who is an up and coming hunter. Romances Solas across the course of her game but eventually grew frustrated and exhausted by his cagey nature around sharing knowledge, and breaks things off in favor of pursuing Sera near the end of the game who is a welcome warmth after Solas' frequent chill.

Playlist

Nydha Lavellan[he/him]: Initially bright-eyed and excitable, he was quite happy and sweet person. Often ruled by emotion and a bit immature, he gradually becomes pessimistic and slides into many obvious fits of depression as he gets closer to the end of DAI. Has a lot of unresolved PTSD from the unexpected and fraught decisions he made which led to the death of (most of) clan Lavellan.

He romances Dorian, who is one of the few places he finds solace, and is quite close friends with Cole. He also romances Rajmael Anise, a dalish OC of @secretly-seraph1m 's who took it upon himself to become his personal guard. Rajmael helps him guard his space and time better, and helps him grieve his family after he gets news of the death of his clan.

Mellita Trevelyan[she/he/neos]: A surly, sharp tongued ex-circle turned blood mage who escaped to join the more extreme sections of the mage rebellion with a revolutionary spirit and chip on her shoulder. Originally discovered to be a mage quite young, she had little mind for Circle politics and used her nobility for perks until she became disowned. She has a secret soft side, often brought out by Lark Orrick, her eventual partner who originally was in Ostwick circle before his own escape years before her own, and her tertiary partner, Sammael. She's insane and I need her so bad <3
