After waffling about for MONTHS, it's high time I put my kids up for everyone to see because despite my misgivings about the game I still love the universe, the characters I've made for it, and I have the power to fix it my damn self however I like. (Prepare for a cut after a bit)
Name: Quinto de Riva
Age: 27
Gender: Cis-Male (He/Him)
LI: Lucanis Dellamorte (and Spite)
Summary: The fifth of seven orphans "adopted" by House de Riva, Quinto is one of only two survivors of the training process; the other being his "sister," Una. Though he is quite clumsy on rooftops--where he tends to lose his footing a lot--he was, and is, considered quite formidable and always carried through on his contracts. Then he was taken under Viago's wing and that was where he finally found a sense of family albeit as an irritating younger sibling. Still, all this has done little to diminish his joie de vivre nor has it tempered his tendencies to act first when he sees someone in need.
Upon exile for going against orders and hitting the proverbial hornets' nest, he began to wend his way South toward Orlais but was picked up halfway by Varric and Harding. The scar on his face was picked up years earlier from a lightning slinging mage who was his target, and Teia spared no expense on a healer for her favorite fledgling despite Viago's insistence he would pay for it. In his absence, rumors have sparked about his possible parentage in the wake of the looming shadow of the Talon Killer with his cloudy origins--as most Crows have--and penchant for going off script but no one can say anything for certain.
Name: Oslo Ingellvar
Age: 23
Gender: Cis-Male (He/Him)
LI: Davrin
Summary: Found as a teeny toddler in the Necropolis, Oslo was subsequently claimed by Vorgoth as their ward. His magic was sensed early on, and Vorgoth nurtured his abilities along with other teachers. Perhaps due to his closeness with Vorgoth, or some random reaction of his magic with the Necropolis itself, his eyes darkened until the sclera were completely black and that, coupled with his birthmark, Othered him from children his age and even many young adults and regular adults. That being said, he is still rather social though he developed an early understanding that his appearance caused some alarm which lead to his interest in makeup and its application techniques.
Though a mage, Oslo is also very athletic and learned how to use daggers from more militant members of the Mourn Watch. This resulted in him setting aside the typical stave used by his peers to pick up the dagger and orb specialization known for its higher mobility and speed. It pairs well with his quick thinking and decisiveness on a course of action, however not many outside of The Watch appreciate his talents. Fortunately Varric did, and so he had a home away from home though it has been an adjustment being outside the Necropolis for the first time ever in his life.
Name: Albinus Mercar
Age: 35
Gender: Non-binary (Mostly He/They, will respond to just about any pronoun as long as they know they're being referred to)
LI: Emmrich Volkarin
Summary: Being raised as an elf by a decorated and mostly respected human soldier in Minrathous was...a challenge. Albinus learned from a very early age that they were an outsider, despite what their family said and how they were treated by them without the public watching. He also ended up being very different from most elves, with a build reminiscent of many humans which also alienated him from a lot of the household help. Still, they understood their family desired actual, lasting change for Minrathous--as evidenced by the household staff actually being paid and given decent clothing, food, and lodgings--and when it was safe he was treated as any child would be by a loving parent.
The trials and tribulations of growing up as an elf adopted by a rather public figure set Albinus' emotional intelligence rather high from a young age. Too, they shared their father's views on the institution of slavery in Minrathous and the desire to abolish it, as well as give those born without magic a chance to succeed beyond the military and the ceiling they hit within that structure. Those desires led him to the Shadow Dragons where a high profile mission eventually led them to needing to beat feet out of Minrathous where Varric subsequently found him.
Let me start by saying I do not worship at the temple of Dragon Age.
But I know some of you do and I know some of you are going to very upset when you play the new game because of narrative choices that have been made.
I'm asking each and every one of you to be completely fucking normal about it.
Don't yell at the voice actors. Don't yell at the writers. Don't take it out on each other.
Please remember that they are also just people doing a job.
When Last of Us Part 2 dropped, Laura Bailey received literal, actual death threats from players who blaimed her for how Abby behaved and the actions she took in the game.
A VA for a VIDEO GAME had her LIFE THREATENED, repeatedly, because something her CHARACTER did in A VIDEO GAME.
Do not let that be y'all with Veilguard. I'm begging you. Be fucking normal about it.
Be dissatisfied, disappointed, even. Be fully vocal about it.
But don't fucking threaten people about a piece of media you chose to consume.
Please remember some of you, some of us, are VAs and Writers and Game Devs. We see that shit. We hear you. Guess who it doesn't fucking help? Literally ANYONE.
Still struggling to work between daily missile and drone attacks and electricity blackouts. Tired. Don't forget about Ukraine.
Here's old school Maria from Silent Hill 2 that I painted a few months ago. A little nervous about the remake, hope justice is done to this masterpiece of a game. Fingers crossed.
If you like my art, consider tipping!
MY TIP JARS HERE ❤️🩹
Someone on the dead bird site stole my art of Maria, removed my signature from it, posted it and gained 15k likes, while my original tweet had 500. Feels just great. Anyway, @/disarmoniart on twatter is my OFFICIAL PAGE, it’s just not ran by me personally, for those who were wondering. Also I have a private page there that I occasionally reply from, if anyone is confused about that. Please don’t steal other people’s art, we’re dealing with enough already. I am also trying to create here during a goddamn genocidal war, have some human decency, ffs.

(I have slots open for commissions, for couple art like this or card art! More info: [Commission info] Feel free to reach out here, or at [email protected])
I understand everyone's anger with veilguard, especially with things like the new choice system and certain artistic designs. But at this point all people wanna do is complain, and it's not even major aspects it's small things I've seen, it's totally fine to be weary or critical but there's a point where you're just complaining to complain (this is all just my opinion though)
