A day in the life of Dorian

Not the break of dawn nor the fall of dusk defines Dorian's schedule. If you find yourself stumbling the grounds of skyhold in the dead of night, you're sure to find a faint flickering of magical light illuminating the library tower. When he does allow his mind to dream and his body to rest, unless his presence is required elsewhere he won't stir until mid day. He wakes slowly and unwillingly at first, but eventually begins efforts towards his morning stretching routine. He will soon find it in him to finally descend the spiral staircase and head towards the bathhouse.

After cleaning and finding himself sufficiently dry, Dorian gets his clothes on for the day. After all his straps are tight and buckles are in place he's ready to groom. With a small dab of wax he twists his mustache into satisfactory curls and revisits the jar again for styling his hair just right. By this time he finds his stomach growling and his mind only thinking of one destination; the tavern.

After ensuring he consumes enough food to give him energy for the day ahead, he will commonly find the inquisitor or other members of the inner circle to see what's on the agenda. From scouting out new strongholds for the inquisition, to tasks around skyhold, theres never such thing as a boring day.

Not to detract from the importance of time hes spent with those he holds dear, but as the day draws to an end he yearns for a bit of peace and quiet. Of course if a visitor decides to climb the tower to ask of his company...he wouldn't be one to decline.

Look what arrived! I’m so happy to finally hold this beautiful book in my hands. To everyone who worked on the @dorianartbook might I say fantastic job. Thank you for putting so much love into this project and Dorian. He is such a precious character to me and many others and really deserved something as magnificent as this. ❤

We’re still looking for people to join our discord rp group. Right now, we are looking for canon characters.

Characters we already have:

Warden

Hawke

Inquisitor

Dorian

Fenris

Zevran

Alistair

Anders

Varric

Bethany Hawke

Cullen (tentatively)

Characters we are specifically looking for:

the Iron Bull

Solas

Morrigan

Cassandra

Leliana

Josephine

You are welcome to apply for any canon character that is not already spoken for, of course, but those are the ones that are “most wanted”. 

We are not currently accepting an OC applications at this time, but once we start getting more canon characters, we will revisit that idea. 

There are, of course, some rules and requirements:

Fill out this questionnaire. It’s short, but it allows the mods to get a feel for how you play the character

It may take the mods a moment to read over the application and respond, but we do our best to be quick.

No complaining because of a character’s portrayal. We are aiming for as accurate as possible, but there’s still a lot open to interpretation. Be respectful.

No complaining because someone won’t ship with you.

Do not corner people into ships without prior discussion.

Do not change a character’s canon/background/etc in ways that would drastically change their life (i.e. Krem is how he is because of the things he dealt with growing up.)

Please make sure we can contact you some way. 

We hope you’ll consider joining us!

This includes but is not limited to: bitching because of a character’s portrayal. We are aiming for as accurate as possible

Aw shucks. That's awfully sweet to be mentioned. <3

[fastuspavus]

Hello! I was wondering if you wanted to rp! I have my own rp blog set up. I can't tell if this is sending from my rp blog or my main blog (I'm on mobile at the second), if it isnt the name is Threetimesthworldended. Please consider me!

Sure, I would be more than happy! If you want send me a starter. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things so forgive me if it take longer a while for any replies. ^^

The elf Hums quietly while sitting on the green lounge couch in his room; left leg folded beneath him and the right left to hang free. He rolls a few small stone shards in his hands while the rest are in a leather bag at his side. The light catches the polished edges of the broken orb. Skoll takes in a long breath and lets it out with a tired sigh.

Dorian sauntered up the staircase, peering above the railing as he went. At the sound of a sigh, Dorian rounded the banister with carefully placed feet. “And all through the hold not a soldier was stirring-oh but an inquisitor… perhaps?”

[skoll-lavellan]

Skoll’s lips curve up in a faint smile, “Perhaps there is far too much for me to contemplate? Killing Corypheus, I was told, would fix what was broke-”. The Inquisitor’s head tilts slightly to the right and his hair shifts; the long chocolate color strands free of the ribbon that he normally used to tie up his ponytail. “…yet so many questions remain unanswered.” 

@fastuspavus

[fastuspavus]

Dorian slipped behind the other, gently wrapping his hand with silky brown locks. “Your mind will surely burst if you don’t calm your thoughts Amatus.” Fingers pressed firmly against tense muscles at the base of Skill’s neck and shoulders.

[skoll-lavellan]

“Am I to assume you have come to distract me from such burdensome thoughts?” Skoll said with a chuckle, sliding the fractured pieces back into the bag and looking up. Dark brown elven eyes lock with his lovers smoky, blue-gray eyes. “Ma Vhenen…”

@fastuspavus

[fastuspavus]

"Mmmm yes... Amatus. I have been told my wit and charm are both incredibly distracting. You have the privilege of having access to both. "

Dorian laughed, twirling his fingers between thick locks of brown hair. He pondered for a moment.

"how can I be of service, Inquisitor?"

     Stress. That was all B’hadir’s life had been since the Conclave. Stress with momentary bright patches. 

Con: this was a lot to carry on one’s shoulders. 

Pro: he really liked the people they seemed to recruit. 

Con: Not many Dalish to talk to.

Pro: Ma’Valen finding him again.

Con: Valen never telling B’hadir that he was a Grey Warden.

Pro: Being too busy at first to process Valen’s disappearance. 

Con: It finally hitting him. 

      He heard somewhere once that “bad things happen in threes”. Realistically, he should have expected the attack on Haven after losing Ma’Valen right before the events at Redcliffe. It only followed through- bad things happen in threes. He had to save face- he managed to trudge through the snow after Corypheus, he found his comrades and they found him and together they reached Skyhold. Bad things had happened in threes. B’hadir was tired. He was now the Inquisitor and he wanted nothing more than a bath and maybe a nice bowl of soup- but work was never done. 

     He was damn near dead on his feet, he missed being told for the fourth or fifth time to go lay down- in one ear and out the other. He was seated at a table in the library, pretty sure he’d read the same line about fifteen times, fingers idly rubbing the bloodstone in a silver cage hung around his neck with a leather cord. 

     Since Valen’s passing, he hadn’t removed it– hell, he’d even started braiding his hair back the way his ex-lover had. It was a problem. A problem he was not processing, refusing to face because there was so much more to be done and he was just one elf now the Inquisitor and– 

     B’hadir made a small sound, fingers closing around the stone without a thought. Two, three drops hit the page before he realized that he’d started to cry. Discreetly, he wiped at his face, taking a few uneasy breaths. 

[fastuspavus]

Restless. As usual, the Tevinter mage was nestled into a sitting chair, deeply absorbed into a book. Tonight's menue? The History of The Chantry. Also know as. "Rubbish" Dorian mouthed the word, as his eyes fluttered dangerously close to shutting. Instead, he did so with the book and found the will to remove himself from the seat.

Cringing at the prickly sensation in his feet, he staggered slightly up the steps to the library to return his reading material for the night. As it seems, he was not the only soul who resisted the sweet dreams of the night.

"Inquisi.."

His voice dropped a note as he saw B'hadir's face.

"tor..." he paused, searching for the words.

"Are you. Alright? It's awfully late, yes?"

[fastuspavus]

"Long time no see. I thought you had abandoned me in this library!"

“Well, we couldn’t have that. Could we?” Dorian quipped, with a slight melodic waver to his tone. “This is where the majority of my most precious things hide.”

[archerwhiterp]

Archer had to pause, struggling to keep a straight face. He was smiling wide and blushing. “Oooh-” He blanked on a name, stumbling with his words. One hand reached out and gently patted Dorian on the shoulder. “You.” 

[fastuspavus]

Dorian quirked a brow only for a moment as he examined the hand touching his shoulder. Eyes wandered up the arm to a somewhat familiar face. "I apologize for the lack of my presence, heroic antics and the like. Keeps a man busy." Slipping from the others touch, the mage made eyes at a cabinet. "Archer was it? Care to stay a while?" Gently waving the retrieved decanter of brandy in his direction.

//Hello! Long time no see. I’ve been gone… For quite a long time… I really would like to start back up again but I’m afraid I might have run you all off by now. If anyone is interested in a quick starter/banter or wants to send me one, please feel free to do either. //

[fastuspavus]

I’m going to be returning from my sudden hiatus on Monday. I apologize for my lack of warning. I just needed to get away for a while and also focus on some things in my personal life, but I’ve missed you guys and writing. I hope I didn’t lose everyone in my absence.
