Hi ! You can call me Arisha, or Risha ! (She/her) I'm a 29 yo French bi nb/girl(??) who's struggling with english grammar lmao 😐 Sorry for the NUMEROUS typos. They will exist.
Everything I post myself is under #personal tag.
You can see my stuff in #my art and #my writing tags. I take some times to translate / write in English so bear with me :)
You can send as many asks as you wish about my OCs ; I have a #ask game list tag you can access easily. The answers are put in the #ask game answers ! (+ tag game when i am... tagged)
And if you have some ideas for something to draw with them, just send an ask 💖 You can also tag me in games, i love it !
My original DA characters under the cut 💖 (with links)
Despite them vastly being in heterosexual-looking relationships, nobody here is heterosexual lmao. 😔 I have some OC introduction posts in preparation but there's a looot I want to show you, so I'll take my time ! (Also i'm distracted and sometimes i forget)
The link directs to their respective tags if it exists.
Kallian Tabris, HoF-Rook, f!rogue, Warden-Commander of Ferelden, romanced a King Alistair in DA:O. Demisexual. They had a really difficult relationship because of all of their traumas (her origin, the blight, Morrigan's ritual) + Alistair's new title and marrying Anora + being this young. They separated a bit after DA:A ; she had a child she hid from him and that Zevran helped to raise. She's also my canon Rook and romances Davrin. Her story continuing in DA:V helped her go past her regrets and find some peace. After everything ended, she let go of her duty as a warden (because she's traumatized enough).
Marian Hawke, f!rogue Hawke who romanced a trans Anders. Bisexual. They helped a lot of mages to flee the falling Circles but ultimately also separated after DA:I, because they grew apart and Marian hated that he lied to her. She's very pro mage rights. Kallian helped them with the Circles in between DA2 and DA:I. After that, she goes back to Kirkwall and romanced Varric after a few years. They are both okay (for now ??).
Ennera Lavellan, Inquisitor f!mage quiet and joyful, but also deadly furious with everything that is going wrong with the world. Bisexual. She lost almost all her clan (because I can't make good decisions on this game) but her best friend survived. Their clan was also a victim of the Blight and she fought at Denerim with the other dalish hunters. She romances Cullen and later on builds a family of 3 with him. They are shy and very autistic (+ADHD for her) and also happy. I love them dearly.
Aodren Lavellan, m!rogue a bit cocky but fun and deadly. Gay. He considers himself Ennera's brother and bodyguard. He survived the attack on their clan and joined the Inquisition after the Winter Palace and the Adamant Fortress. Aodren romanced his beloved Dorian and later on accompanied him in Minrathous. He has 2 little twin sisters who are a nightmare to raise.
Tahlen Tabris, m!mage/warrior, fun and joyful, can't stay in one place. Probably bisexual ?? He's Kallian and Alistair's son, so a royal bastard as was his father. He has cute little pointy ears indicating his father was not as fully human as we thought. He inherited Theirin's blood, which I headcanon as being a cure / giving some sort of immunity to the Blight. Since he is born, his mother can't sense darkspawn if they are not extremely close to her. He loves dearly his big brother Kieran and his little royal brothers and sisters, is the beloved child of the Grey Warden Order in Ferelden, and has too many parental figures : Zevran is his dad, Anders is secondary dad and Nathaniel is his secondary dad-in-law. He almost hates Alistair so he's not even at the 3rd place lmao... He's very interested in technomagic and in healing magic and adopted too many traits from Zev and Anders. I imagine him joining some of Veilguard crew after the Double Blight to explore the world with them. Bellara and him will surely bond over destroying repairing artifacts. I have too many things to tell about him.
More secondary characters / those I developed less.
Nirie Surana, f!mage who helped Kallian and her crew during the Blight, became a warden after the beginning of the mage-templar war. She's a blood mage and infiltrated Clarel's mages circle during the whole Corypheus thing. She's romancing Leliana. Or trying to ?? Still didn't thought too much about it. She's the first crush of Cullen, but she never reciprocated his feelings as she is a (mean) lesbian. (Mean with Alistair, not with Cullen. Cullen was her... kind of friend.)
Charles Reeves, m!rogue/warrior and former Templar. Bisexual. Everybody calls him Reeves because there are too many Charles everywhere. He's one of Cullen's brother in arms who joined the Inquisition after the beginning of the mage-templar war and one of his lieutenants. He's happily married and the father of a little girl, and is judging quietly everyone around who is struggling to flirt with their beloved one. He only exists because I KNEW Cullen had a second in command but I couldn't find his name..... so now he has two, and they are both bullying him. I grew attached to him :(
Steph, f!mage who romanced Solas, charming, wise, but also teasing. Bisexual I think ?? She's one of my friends OC and part of my canon universe ; I'll probably show some art of her sometimes ♥ She's Dorian's and Ennera's best friend. She also hates Vivienne's guts but only because they are weirdly similar and is in an unhealthy competition with her lmao. The woman loves ancient magic and would totally be okay using blood magic... just for... science. She does not. Yet. She ultimately has 2 children with Solas. Surprise pregnancy, not fun. And I'm not even to blame !! (My friend would probably love to see someone being interested in her so if you have some questions, let's go !)

Actually if I was miles edgeworth and I had to fight against Phoenix ‘bullshitter’ wright I would go insane too. He just starts bringing up meaningless shit interviewing your witness, completely irrelevant to the case, and the judge just lets it happen cause he loves gossip. He says shit like ‘sir the witness was obviously lying! Two days before the murder they didn’t wake up at dawn! They woke up 15 minutes later!’. And miles has to be like ‘what the fuck does this matter we literally have photographic evidence and dna analysis of your client KILLING THE MAN’ and. And then. He wins. He strings together a line of irrational bullshit so well that your witness goes ‘ARRRGH AAAHHHH ALSKJDJSS. I DID IT I KILLED THAT GUY’. Now personally if that was me I would strangle him but becoming psychosexually obsessed with him works too I guess

Hey, we’re in line for some absurd temperatures here in the southwest this week. This is very important to know and keep in mind. Be safe, stay hydrated, stay out of the sun as much as you can.
Additional you can also put them on your palms, also, make sure to always use a light towel or kitchen paper and don’t put the ice bags directly onto your skin!
A friend requested some references of Davrin's scars for their art and I decided I might as well post them publicly :)
More various close-ups under the cut!
(the last three are colour-corrected for better scar vicibility to account for the inventory lighting getting very dark on the bottom parts of the model)
shoutout to the words "overmorrow" and "ereyesterday". english losing these words was stupid. "the day after tomorrow" "the day before yesterday" clunky-ass constructions. revolting. i'm bringing overmorrow and ereyesterday back in my idiolect and there is nothing you can do about it
If you don't mind, can you help me figure out what a typical Orzammar dwarf's perception on magic would be? I'm trying to figure out what my Aeducan and Brosca's opinion on magic is, but I can't because I don't know what dwarves of Orzammar feel about magic. It is strange? Scary? Boring? Useful? Do they go "eww" at it? Would they approve of the Circles? What would Aeducan and Brosca feel about Morrigan? Any thoughts you can share?
Oh Anon I love talking about dragon age dwarves so thank you <3
I would say that probably they don't hate magic as much or are less afraid cause when Orzammar dwarves interact with magic is probably from a grey warden who came there to kill darkspawn, and in general they do like the wardens because of this. But also they are very traditional and magic is some weird non-dwarf surface thing. They are fine selling lyrium to templars in the south wich is the thing keeping the circles strong, but also they are fine selling lyrium to the tevinter imperium mages. So it's more a practical thing to them or how it benefits them, or a far away thing they don't care about, but it brings them money! So there is a lot to play with here.
Now, even if the Orzammar circle of mage is not canon anymore, it was once, and this was the epilogue if you helped Dagna to study magic.
“This inspired mages from other parts of Thedas to establish a new Circle of Magi in Orzammar itself, one that had ready access to dwarven lyrium... and lies outside the Chantry's power completely. The willingness of Orzammar to harbor apostates sparked outrage that began whispers that the Divine was contemplating a new Exalted March.”
I wished the Orzammar Circle of magic was still there cause thinking about all the possibilities of how that would had go are soooooo interesting to me....
We also know the carta hires apostates (we fight some of them). And we can check what Dagna, Oghren and Sigrun think of magic.
As we know, Dagna loves magic, but she is considered very weird for this... BUT also we never see anyone in ferelden or orlais that is a non mage half this passionate or curious about magic, so that shows in Orzammar is not this horrible horrible thing. We know she could read some books on magic that she could get in Orzammar, some from tevinter (so they will talk of magic favorably). And really, the main problem is that she wanted to go to the surface. If you talk with her dad, he says "Dwarves don't do magic. Dagna knows that. It's just a childhood fantasy that dies hard." Wich implies to me that is not weird for dwarf orzammar kids to fantasy about magic.
Sigrun ALSO finds magic cool and interesting. She ask Anders if he can set a bush on fire of freeze it in one of their banters, and Anders say magic isn't for her amusement.
Now, Oghren doesn't find magic that cool. He tells Morrigan out of the blue, "You couldn't hurt me if you wanted to, witch, you know that? (...) Dwarves resist magic, woman. There's nothing you could do." wich indicates there is a bunch of them who can be like "ah magic won't do anything to me <3 im resistant" but he is also wary of this strange outsider magical thing. He also has a conver with Morrigan where he ask if she can turn into animals, and how do they know she is really a human woman (so!! magic is strange -> so he is suspicious and defensive about it). With Anders, the talks of magic are always to tell him "you are not manly enough. Unlike me".
Dagna also makes some comments that sound a bit like... she says with pride she can do enchantment and mages can't, not even how hard they try. So you can also see in her and Oghren that dwarves can get a bit defensive about the non-magic thing.
So with all this you can see the opinions on magic may vary for each dwarf, but it would be more likely that they reject it way less than the people in the surface, and if they reject it, is less out of fear of demons and more of "this is weird and doesn't belong here".
