Ah yes, I live how we get Laios convincing Senshi that he didn't commit cannibalism within the same episode that Senshi turns into a sparkling elf.

[ramblinganthropologist]

Ugh, the Veil Jumper armor does not look good on Zephyr at all. She's way too cool-toned for it so the red, gold, and brown is just not working for her. The Warden palette would look so much better... but then again, Zeph has a problem with authority so that's a no. Guess we're sticking with the default outfit until he gets some better armor.

This is for anyone who wants to make/find any Sherbverse, Fable SMP, Bound SMP and Mer SMP roleplay accounts! …Queue56 character rp accounts too

The characters who have more than one account will also be added

I will put the Sherbversions in their specific world too, but both Midas and Charles will be only on the sherbverse list

The list will go alphabetically (hopefully)

Tell me if I missed any and if new ones are made!

Not that I’ve seen any, but I should have said this before. Do not, and I mean do not make an rp account of anyone who stated that they aren’t okay with them.

Water in my Lungs and Guilt in your Bones

Description: DND inspired. Zephyr, the Tiefling rogue, and Van, the Reborn warlock, are trapped in a flooding room. Van doesn't need to breathe, so Zephyr makes a decision for the both of them that could cost him his life.

Warnings: Depiction of drowning, mild emeto warning, fantasy setting

This was quite possibly the worst job any of them had ever taken. It was supposed to be a simple go in, clear it out, get paid job. That turned out to be a crock of shit, because after getting separated from their other partymate, both Van and Zephyr found themselves in a terrible position:

The room they were in was flooding, and the door was locked.

An old and cruel execution method, if Van had to take a wild guess. There was an observation platform above, where they had heard their companion not even a few minutes ago. Dark eyes watched the maroon skinned Tiefling struggling with the door's lock, needing to stand on a fallen rock in order to reach it from its spot on the ceiling. Van ran a hand through his near white hair and gripped a handful as his anxiety rose.

Zephyr cursed under his breath as he ducked away from the water pouring in, slicking back his black, curly hair from his face. “I can't get it before the water gets too high. It's too fast.”

“Try again,” the warlock growled. He knew Zephyr was right, though, even as the rogue tried again. It was already rising to his knees and only getting higher.

Zephyr ducked away from the torrent again, sputtering. “Fuck! I can't–” A pause. “You're a Reborn. You don't need to breathe, right?”

“I don't see how that's relevant.”

“This is gonna be stupid, but… no matter how fast I go, by the time I get this gate unlocked, the water's gonna be over our heads. But you'll be fine.”

“And?”

“So I can take time actually picking the lock properly. Then, you can get me to the surface. La'hare's waiting up there on the observation platform, we heard him.”

“Take your time? But you'll drown.”

“But you won't. We can both get out, you’ll just… have to get La'hare to bring me back if things get bad. It'll be fine.”

Van stared at him, eyes wide. He opened his mouth to protest, but Zephyr was already working on the lock again and water slapped Van in the face.

Soon enough, like the rogue said, the water was quickly over their heads. Instead of wasting energy keeping afloat, Van let himself sink to the floor. Zephyr was working quickly, but he knew the rogue wouldn't last long. He could see him nearly double over several times as his chest and abdomen spasmed with the need to breathe. A few tense moments passed, and Zephyr finally pushed open the gate just as his body decided it couldn't hold its breath anymore and released the stale air in a torrent of bubbles.

Van was already swimming, grabbing the now drowning man and wrapping an arm across his chest. He was expecting Zephyr to be flailing, fighting and making this twenty times more difficult than it needed to be, but instead the man just held onto his arm as his body twitched.

They were nowhere near the surface when the rogue finally went limp.

After what felt like an eternity, Van broke the water's surface with an instinctive gasp, the unconscious Tiefling clutched close to his chest. He paddled to the platform where La'hare waited, the Elf kneeling down in preparation to help both men up. His tan skin was marked with bruises and scrapes and his dark hair falling free of its braids. “Van! Zephyr!”

“He’s not breathing,” the former human stated as he handed the dead weight off. He pulled himself up out of the water with a grunt. “The damn fool let himself drown unlocking the gate.”

To save him.

La'hare laid Zephyr onto his back. The young man's skin had taken a slightly lighter, more ashen shade and his eyes were empty, half-lidded and staring at nothing. His hair stuck to his forehead in thick wet curls. The cleric swallowed thickly as his fingers pressed to the pulse point in the other's throat. “My higher magic is spent, but we still have time. All he needs is air and a heartbeat.”

Quickly, yet carefully, the cleric tipped the Tiefling’s head back and pinched his nose closed before leaning down and sealing his mouth over his, breathing into waterlogged lungs. The young man’s cheeks rounded and his chest rose with the artificial breath. When he pulled away, the air was released with a passive exhale. Meanwhile, Van stripped off his sodden cloak and tossed it aside, watching the other’s resuscitation attempt with a hard gaze.

After five breaths, the Elf straightened. He stacked his hands on top of Zephyr’s chest, heel of his palm digging into the lower half of his sternum. Keeping his arms straight, he rolled his shoulders over his hands and thrust downwards. Release, press, release, press. He repeated the motions in a steady, somewhat fast rhythm, forcing the other's chest to sink about two inches before rebounding to its previous position over and over. Zephyr's shoulders shrugged inwards and his stomach bounced in opposition to the cleric's ministrations. A gurgling huff was forced out of him every time La'hare brought his weight down. The Elf counted under his breath each thrust.

Once he reached thirty, La'hare gave Zephyr another two breaths. Then he went back to pounding on his chest. He winced when he felt something give under his palms, but didn't dare stop. “Sorry.”

Another thirty count passed, followed by two more breaths. Van swallowed thickly and drew closer as the other restarted chest compressions.

“Allow me to help.  You're getting tired.”

La'hare nodded. “After this, take over. We'll swap every four cycles.”

The warlock looked down at Zephyr's face. He half expected the rouge to blink up at him and give him a cheeky grin while declaring he was right. Instead, he was still as death and the rogue’s half-lidded eyes showed no emotion at all. Once La'hare reached thirty again and moved to breathe for the young man, Van slotted his own stacked hands in the same spot. Two breaths, and he started compressions.

“A little harder. Not too quick– there, perfect,” the cleric gently coached.

Beating life back into a waterlogged corpse was harder than it looked. Coupled with the energy spent swimming with a dead weight, Van could already feel his arms and back hurting and sweat beading on his brow. The rib that had snapped shifted under his palms with every harsh shove downwards.

He stopped when La'hare said to, breathing heavily as the Elf pushed two breaths into the Tiefling.

“Wake up,” the warlock growled as he restarted compressions. This idiot was not dying for him. He didn't need it. He didn't deserve it.

Four cycles passed, and they swapped. Another four passed, and another swap.

“I… I don't think he's coming back,” La'hare said, voice low and thick with sadness. He sat back away from the Tiefling’s head as the warlock shoved down into his chest. Like the many times before, his chest sunk under the pressure and his stomach popped in a nauseating seesaw motion. “Van–”

Van ignored him, finishing up the thirty count and shifting to the rogue’s head. He tipped Zephyr's head back and pinched his nose closed before breathing into his mouth like the cleric was doing before.

La'hare placed a hand on the Reborn’s back, but he shrugged him off, returning to performing chest compressions. He hung back, letting the other man continue, while he gave a prayer.

“Wake up!” Van hissed. He pushed off on the thirtieth compression far harder than needed. He pressed his mouth to Zephyr's again, breathing into him roughly, and after two breaths went back to pounding on his chest. “You will not die for me, wake up!”

“He's gone, Van,” the Elf stated solemnly. “I'm sorry.”

“Fuck you,” snapped the former human. He leaned down and harshly pressed his mouth to the Tiefling’s again. The first breath went in as normal, the man’s cheeks rounding and chest inflating. He pulled away, and like before it was released with a passive exhale. Another breath. This time the rogue’s jaw moved. Van pulled away just in time to avoid a mouthful of water as the rogue suddenly lurched, water erupting from his mouth. Van scrambled back as La'hare quickly turned the other onto his side.

The Tiefling gagged and wheezed as he hacked up more water. A few seconds ticked by and the rogue finally sucked in a breath of his own, harsh and ragged but a breath nonetheless. La'hare pushed what little magic he had left into him, healing what he could. The magic was just enough, it seemed, for Zephyr to tiredly blink and glance around. Bright green eyes landed on Van and he gave the bewildered cleric and warlock a small grin.

“Told you,” he said, voice scratchy and rough.

It took every ounce of self control for Van to not strangle him.

zephyr & genesis aka genephyr (like jennifer. hehe)

[sun-marie]

I think I'm going to to redo Zephyr's background a bit, so instead of being born in Baldur's Gate she grew up with her mother and grandfather in the Forest of Tethir, and then they all moved to Baldur's Gate to be closer to her dying grandmother when she was like 14 or so. Bc the original concept I had for her was that she was a multi-cultural individual immersed in one (wood elf) and alienated from another without the connecting link of her father (air genasi), and therefore fascinated with the latter, and that's why she always wants to learn more. But her being born in Baldur's Gate kinda cuts her off from wood-elves from the get-go I feel 🤔 When she should know their culture like the back of her hand

RRAU Briefing

Just a silly little thought of "What if Other Factions Asked Nels to Do Briefings/PSAs on Their Behalf?"

(this may have been funnier in my head tbh)

Portia & Rowena belong to @booksncatsworld Nheil belong to @so--whoonos Luca belong to @glittering-darmallon Zephyr belong to @larknnightingale Aria belong to @bubblecat-co Isiah & Heloise belong to @a-mumbling-nerd Tira belong to @tiravi Ezra belongs to @lunammoon

Edit: I keep forgetting to tag rooks 😭

Valo belongs to @glittering-darmallon as well and Esha belongs to @i-creatied-au

Word Count: 1,121

Nels sighed. Members from four of the six factions that made up the Veilguard were all looking up at them as they filed into the meeting room and found their seats. Most looked either annoyed or bored that they’d have to sit through another briefing. 

But Nels didn’t want to be here either. They wanted to be sprawled out on Aria’s couch, drawing in their sketch book. Or helping Lucanis with the groceries. Or sneaking out to Ventus to ride dracolisk. Or literally anything other than this. But some members of the Mourn Watch had come up to Nels and basically begged them to hold this meeting. So here they were.

Nels looked over all the faces once more now that everyone was seated and noticed Aria sitting in the back of the crows, glaring at all her problem children. Unfortunately, today, she was also one of the problem children. The elf shook their head and let out another sigh. They walked forward and dropped the stack of papers they were holding on the table to get everyone’s attention.

“Alright. I don’t want to be here. You don’t want to be here. So let’s get moving so we can all get on with our day.” Nels held up a blank form from the stack they dropped, “This, is the on-boarding medical form all of you were asked to fill out on the Mourn Watch’s request.” Nels paused as their audience shifted uncomfortably in their seats. 

“Now, I’m not going to pretend like I was surprised to find out that neither the Crows or the Lords took this form seriously. That’s honestly par for the course. But the Veil Jumpers and Shadow Dragons? I expected more from you.” Nes shook their head, "The Mourn Watch has requested that each of you redo your paperwork—properly this time—and turn it in by dinner today.”

Portia spoke out, “What the hell was wrong with it the first time?”

“So glad you asked. Let’s start with the fact that the ‘Emergency Contact’ field is for you to provide us with contact information for anyone you want us to notify in the event of an emergency. You know, like if you’re severely injured or die. Writing in ‘Don’t tell Viago/Strife/Tarquin’ is not helpful information. We don’t give a damn who you don’t want us to contact. Just tell us who you do. On that note, fellow team members are not valid emergency contacts. I don’t care what name you put, it can be the Southern Devine for all I care. Put a valid contact in the box or we will contact your faction head by default. And Shadows? I’ve informed the Watchers that Tarquin is their main point of contact if you don’t have an alternate.”

The Lords started laughing amongst themselves but they weren’t off the hook either, “The Watchers would also like me to inform you that the following are invalid answers for the height and weight fields: ‘Idek man, I just got here’, ‘What are you, a cop?’, ‘Thin bestie, trust.’, ‘Tall’, ‘No clue’, ‘Mind your business’, ‘Taller than Nels’, ‘You’re not my mom.’, ‘More than three apples.’, a frowning face, a winking face, or a drawing of a steaming pile of poop.

"Also, you are only to use actual units of measurements, not: apples, trees, mabaris, ogres, gold, daggers, chairs, boots, or me. They would also like for me to tell you that rounding up to the nearest tenth is enough and there’s no reason to write it out to the seventh decimal place.”

Nels scratched their eyebrow with their thumb, “Also one of the Lords just drew the anarchy symbol on their form, wrote their name as ATAB, and drew a middle finger for their signature. The Watchers are aware of which one of you it belongs to, because you’re the only one without a form filled out. While I respect the hustle, there is a time and place.

"Next on the list: Crows. The ‘Special Diet’ field is not for you to list all the poisons you take every day. That is what you were given the separate Toxin from for, which some of you decided to either draw all over—including some interesting depictions of the fifth talon—or in one case write ‘I already put that on the other one, I’m not writing that shit again’.”

Nels shifted their weight and put their hands on their hips, “Now I would like the Crows to take notice that Heloise and Valo aren’t here. And Shadows please note Luca’s absence as well. That’s because the three of them actually turned in proper paperwork. Valo even made sure to ask the Watchers for help so he could do it properly because he didn’t want to shit all over the hard work Rowena put into making this form. They get to enjoy their afternoon, while you redo paperwork you should have done right the first time.”

“And if we don’t want to?” Nheil asked in a huff.

Nels clapped their hands, “And that brings us to the final part of today’s briefing! And it looks like Tira peaced out shortly after my greeting so…” Nels flipped through the papers they had and pulled out Tira’s form. They handed it off to Zephyr who had been standing off to the side the entire time, “Please make sure this is filed as the final form.” Zephyr nodded and then went back to staring daggers at the Crows. Or maybe just Aria.

“See, the thing is, the watchers asked me to have this little chat with you and get this taken care of today because tomorrow Ezra—who has not seen these yet—will be reviewing them herself. So you guys can either lose this afternoon to a small annoyance, or deal with her tomorrow.

"By the way, there’s only enough blank forms for everyone who needs to redo theirs.” Nels picked up a blank paper and the others watched as sparks danced on their hands before igniting the form, “Since Tira left early, hers will be submitted as is.”

“Finally, Shadows, you have exactly thirty minutes to submit a proper form directly to me after I call ‘dismissed’. For every minute you are late it is ten laps. Afterwards you will each spend the rest of the afternoon writing a very heartfelt apology letter to Rowena for treating her hard work like a joke—which you will deliver in person. Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear?” When they saw their fellow faction members nodding they gave a bright smile, “Perfect! The rest of you can hand yours in to Zephyr, dinner today is the deadline, Isaiah and Esha: I am not your emergency contact, and you all are dismissed.”

[briarfox13]

So after 80+ hours I've finally finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard! And boy do I have some thoughts (it's going to be a long post, sorry)

SPOILERS AHEAD

Firstly what an incredible journey from start to finish, I laughed, rejoiced and cried along the way. I loved it so much! The main story was engaging, and some of the side quests are the best Bioware has ever made.

However, I do have some criticisms with the writing and some lore. The beginning feels rushed, I wish we had more time before shit hit the fan. The faction backgrounds sound awesome and I wish we'd played those as a prologue and met Varric through those rather that tiny scene we got.

And I do wish the game was darker in some aspects. It felt weird that as an Elf I could just wander around Minrathous without a single problem, even the Venatori didn't comment on my race? Which felt off. Never thought I'd say this, but I miss the dark political plot points that the other games had (Looking at DA II here).

Expect The Blight, that was incredible, disgusting was just what I wanted to see.

I also don't like the concept of Ancient Elvhen magic being like advanced tech? I'm not fond of that. I play DA for the fantasy not the sci-fi. But that's a minor nit-pick.

But damn, Act 3? That was an explosive, incredible set of quests, and those twists broke my heart 😭 IYKYK

Honestly though, it's hands down one of the prettiest game I've played since probably Metro Exodus.

The environments, the lights and atmosphere is top notch; I know it wont happen but I'd kill for an Origins remaster with this engine (and combat system). The combat is my favourite so far.

Music is pretty but kind of unremarkable, Trevor Morris' Inquisition music was a 100% times better and more memorable, they should have stuck with him.

No offence to Mr. Zimmer but all his music sounds the same to me 🙈

The Grey Wardens, my babies are back ❤️ They've been my favourite faction in gaming since Origins and I'm so happy to finally play another Warden.

The reactivity was just amazing, I felt so connected to the plot by playing as one, especially with the Blight plotlines. Declaring for the Wardens at the end made me cry 😭 In War, Victory!!

And finally some good Grey warden armour!! XD I hated DA II and DAI's armour for them with a passion XD

Emmrich my love 💚

While I think it's too short (please Bioware add more romance content, I'm begging 🥺) I haven't loved a Bioware romance like this since Garrus'. (Sorry Alistair I still love you but, you're now joint second with Emmrich)

His romance was so sweet and charming, it felt so real. And so beautifully written; as someone who finds necromancy and death in religion fascinating but the reality of death terrifying, Emmrich was perfect for me.

I just adore it so much, I'm way too attached to him and my Rook 💚🥹 And obviously Manfred my son

To let you all in on a secret, even before I booted up Origins for the first time (2015) I was originally a Solas girlie (thanks to the internet) and now just under 10 years later I am so happy to have a happy ending to his and Zephyr's story 🥹❤️

I wish they interacted more with each other, and we'd got more about Solas' love for the Inky but ultimately I am happy with what we got. After all it wasn't entirely their story.

But, what I am not happy about is the Inky's personality. I respect it's kind of a soft reboot, but only 3 choices and none of them about how the Inky was like? Zephyr would never in a million years work with Morrigan (even with her Mythal fragment). It just didn't feel quite like my girl (even though I was happy to see her).

I do wish we'd got a couple more choices when making the Inky to make them feel more ours than slightly generic.

So finally, I will say that personally I adore this game, it's not perfect by any mile but I had fun, and that's important to me. It might even be joint top with Origins as my favourite DA game!

I've always been a Mass Effect girlie, but Dragon Age is important to me too. And I'm so happy to finally see a new DA release that has somewhat succeeded.

Now I'm done, do expect Tabitha spam! I'll make sure to tag them with spoilers for those who haven't finished/played!

And to my non DA followers, I'm very sorry about my current hyper-fixation (blame the ADHD) but bear with me! I have some tasty Halo art pieces cooking in the background 👀
