OC Info

Main Worldstate

Karmyn Amell

Female mage Warden, romances Zevran. Once Amaranthine is settled, she goes off to follow Zevran in his hiding/hunt for Crows. Has slightly uncontrollable magic that manifests as lightnight sparks; gets better control throughout the Blight. Initially naive to the world, but quickly grows a thick skin. Takes her role of saving/protecting people too seriously. Had a secret pregnancy that resulted in the birth of Kione, who she left in the care of an elven clan that ended up trading her to House De Riva. Timeline 1: Dedicates herself to hunting a cure alongside Zevran, eventually they reunite with Kione during DATV. Timeline 2: After Zevran's death shortly before DAI (protecting her from a Crow out for revenge), goes into a deep seclusion until she realizes she can actually help the Inquisitor. Reunites with Cullen, slowly enters new relationship. Reunites with Kione during DATV. Additional Prompts: 101, 158, 203

Kattryn Hawke

Female rogue, is So Tired of the world falling out from under her, romances Fenris. Green/Red Hawke. Bethany joins the Wardens, helps connect the cousins all together. Stays in Kirkwall for a time after the events of DA2. Desperately did not want to get involved in DAI, but once she heard from Varric knew she had to. Stayed behind in the Fade, kicking her cousin (Karmyn) out by force. This devistates Fenris, Karmyn, and Varric, and they have a hard time fully reconciling. Addtional Prompts: 108, 153, 158, 176, 182 (give me those Hawke/Bethany feels), 199, 205

Persephone (Persie) Trevelyan

Female mage, romances Cullen or Iron Bull (depending on the timeline). Literally puts the world on her shoulders. Wants to find solutions for mages that balance the need for autonomy and training/oversight. Is also So Tired but doesn't want anyone to know. Loves her twin (Nico) very much. Does not want people to know how close she is to falling apart at any time. Turns the Inquisition over to the Chantry for assistance in the hunt for Solas. Is devistated by what happened to Varric, and really concerned about Rook and their dismissal about it. Additional Prompts: 134, 151, 153, 158, 163 (okay I have this whole headcanon about lyrium withdrawls causing moments of memory loss and I'm making eyes over at Persie/Cullen for this prompt), 195, 199, 205

Kione de Riva

Female elf mage, romances Lucanis. Is an absolute gremlin. Has an unnatural affinity for lightning like her mother, and the inability to stop making a joke from her father. Cares a lot about the Veilguard, feels a little bad for causing Viago so much trouble. Shockingly determined to redeem Solas, partially due to Persie's influence. Will never let anyone know she's in over her head, and appreciates the little things Lucanis does to take care of her. Loves Spite and the fact that Lucanis manages to make peace with his presence. Additional Prompts: 101, 134, 151, 153, 156, 157, 158, 195, 199, 205, 216 (Kione/Spite?)

Secondary World State

Marie Cousland

Female rogue, romances Alistair, becomes Queen of Ferelden and Warden-Commander. Very dedicated to maintaining both jobs. So angry, Alistair somehow manages to break through. Has killed for Ferelden while queen and would absolutely do it again. Very no-nonsense. Charges Nathaniel and Velanna with finding a cure (they do). Takes up arms to defend Ferelden during DATV. Has three kids with Alistair--Evelyn, Duncan and Elaina. Additional Prompts: 101, 130, 151, 153, 157, 195, 199, 205, 214 (Marie did NOT like Alistair at first), 220

Anabelle Hawke

Female mage, romances Anders. A sweet baby Purple Hawke. Thinks she can solve all problems with her quick wit. Fully supports mage rights, maybe a little too loudly. Is never the same after watching Carver die in the Deep Roads, leaving her and her mother alone until it's just her. Honestly her and Anders are terrible for each other while in Kirkwall, but she'd die before she let anyone harm a hair on his head. Run away together after Kirkwall, incredibly reluctant to come forward about Corypheus. Nearly bolts when she sees Cullen, but they manage to work together. She hates leaving Stroud in the Fade, but she won't--can't--abandon Anders. Happily returns to seclusion with him until the world decides to end one more time. They--cautiously--end up in the Wetlands during DATV. They manage to keep quiet about his true identity--Evka and Antoine know and that's it. Additional Prompts: 130, 153, 158, 163, 165, 195, 199, 205

Nira Lavellen

Female rogue, romances Solas. Incredibly hard-headed, did not want to be the Herald of Andraste, just wanted to go back to her clan and hunt. Solas' quiet support keeps her around, and she eventually befriends other members of the Inquisition. Is SO ANGRY about his betrayal and wants the chance to talk to him again. Disbands the Inquisition. Sees a far-off wolf in her dreams for years, tries to hunt him but it doesn't work. Wants Rook to help her talk to him again, but would undertand if she wasn't interested. Eventually, gets her happy ending with him. Additional Prompts: 130, 153, 165, 195, 205, 214

Evelyn (Evie) Thorne

Female human mage, romanced Emmrich. Followed in her parent's footsteps as a Warden, giving up her title as Princess, knowing Duncan will do a better job. Was born with really low levels of the taint that got worse as she got older, leading to her life as a Warden (she was happy to do so). No one knows her true identity in the Wardens, except for Evka and Antoine, who she is really close to. Is shocked by Emmrich's gentleness, it's part of what draws her in. Not really a good mage, needs the help of a staff to amplify her natural ability to be useful. Happily helps Nira with her quest to reunite with Solas. Additional Prompts: 74, 87, 156

Karmyn and Kattryn are the same as above.

Nicodemo (Nico) Trevelyan

Male warrior, romances Cassandra. Is an absolute Wife Guy. Very protective of his twin, Persie. A very compentent leader of the Inquisition, popular with the troops, commoners, and nobility. Only relaxes around Cassandra. Sends his twin off with Dorian when he returns to Tevinter to help, but also for her own safety, worried about the future of mages in their part of Thedas. Kept the Inquisition with the Chantry. Pissed at Solas, does not want him redeemed, enjoys Vanya's direct approach towards the issue. Additional Prompts: 74, 87, 114, 152, 156, 157

Vanya Aldir

Female elf rogue, romances Neve. Very straight forward and to the point with the issue. An excellent hunter. Ends up smitten with Neve, much to her surprise (she does not know how to cope with it). Struggles with leadership, but eventually finds comfort in her friends and whatever is going on with her and Neve. Is far too excited to punch Solas in the face and be done with him. Additional Prompts: Honestly anything listed here. I'll talk about her for anything.

Unattached

Zea Invellger

Nonbinary elf rogue, romances Davrin in game, Lucanis post-game. Co-leads with their twin, Filip. The pair are absolute gremlins together but they get the job done. Incredibly traumatized by the end of the game, particularly by Davrin's final choice. Rarely returns to the Necropolis post-game, settles in Treviso instead to help with its recovery. Takes years for them to finally open up again, and just falls into a slow pattern of life with Lucanis. Neither really put a lable on it for the longest time. Additional Prompts: Ask me anything!

"I'm not here because I'm being forced. I want to help you. Please let me." - Marie/Alistair for Thedas Weekend! :)

Hiiiii I swear I didn't forget about these prompts, I hit crunch time for my Dragon Age Big Bang fic and had to focus on that for a bit. But I'm back to going through my backlog of prompts and trying to get caught back up. Please enjoy, @nyx-de-riva, for @thedasweekend!!

Marie advanced on Zevran, practice blades ringing out as they clashed together. Something had the Warden worked up, and Zevran was doing his best to allow her to work out some of that extra energy. But when she disarmed him for the third time, she groaned.

"Enough, Zev." She tossed the blades on the table and picked up her waterskin, taking a long drink from it. "There's no reason for me to exhaust you to satisfy my own restlessness."

Zevran set his blades next to hers and leaned against the table. "Copper for your thoughts?"

"It's nothing. Just...trying to get my head to stop thinking."

"Ah. Likely a difficult task with all we have going on."

"You could say that." She grumbled. "Don't worry about it. I'll take my frustration out on a practice dummy instead. Get some rest, and maybe have Wynne look at your arm--I wasn't gentle with that last riposte."

"You were not, but perhaps Wynne will take pity on me and let me rest my head on her bosom while she heals me."

Marie snorted out a laugh. "Good luck with that--maybe if you lay the blame on me she'll finally relent."

"From your lips to the Maker's ears." As he pushed off the table, he blew her a kiss and headed inside. "Don't stay out too long--it looks like rain."

After another minute of break, Marie picked up the practice knives and stood in front of one of the training dummies. She began to run through different formations, angrily hitting the dummy repeatedly. Unfortunately, that's when Zevran's words came true and a downpour started. Marie let out a scream that matched a crack of lightning, her attacks getting angrier and angrier.

Inside, Alistair was grabbing himself some food when the storm started up. He was busy building his plate high when he saw Zevran saunter in and flop at the table.

"Are you and Marie done?" He asked the elf.

"I am--she took pity on me nearly an hour ago and set me free." Zevran rotated one of his wrists. "She got me good in our last bout."

"Did she came in with you?"

"No. If you have not seen her come in, then she is likely still outside."

"In this weather?!"

"She is...not doing well, Alistair. Everything going on, the Landsmeet coming up..."

"Don't remind me." He grumbled. "I'll go check on her, then."

"Be gentle with her, and don't surprise her--she may be wielding practice blades, but I do not think that would stop her from accidentally injuring someone."

"Thanks for the heads up." Alistair set his plate down and headed outside, snagging his and Marie's cloaks as he passed through the hall.

Outside, Alistair found exactly what Zevran described: Marie, practice blades in hand, hacking away at a training dummy. What he didn't know until he was standing there was that she was screaming and sobbing as she swung.

"Marie!" He called out, careful to stand a few arm-lengths away. It was a good decision--she whipped around at the sound of her name and had her blade pointed at him.

"What do you want?! Did Zevran send you out here?! Eamon?!" Her eyes were red, tears mixed with rain falling down her cheeks.

"Zev just told me where you were." He kept his voice calm. "Once the storm started up and no one saw you come in, I wanted to check in with you."

"I'm fine!" The blade was still pointed at him, quivering slightly.

"I'm just worried, Marie. You shouldn't stay out here in this weather, tomorrow's a big day."

"Oh yeah." She threw her hands up, still armed. "Super big day, I'm certain Eamon wouldn't be pleased if his little hero came down with a cold. I don't need you to check on me, Alistair, I'm a big girl. Don't force yourself to do something you don't want to."

Alistair's jaw dropped. "Forced...Marie, I'm not here because I'm being forced!" He finally took two steps forward. "I want to help you." When she didn't back up, he took three more steps so that he was close enough to touch her. "Please let me." His last words were soft.

Marie continued to glare at him as he advanced. "Don't pretend you care--we'll name you king tomorrow, you'll take Anora as your bride, and we...we'll be over." She was trying to sound confident and sharp, but there was an undernote of fear in her voice. "I...I never should have let us get this far. I can only lose the people I care about."

"Is that what you think!?"

"How could I not! I've seen the way she schemes with Eamon--they're not going to give you a choice."

"Marie Cousland." He reached out and wrapped her in a tight hug, which she doesn't return; he can only feel her tense, tightening her grip on the blades. "Nothing, nothing, would make me give you up. I would turn Ferelden over to Anora alone before I did that."

"You can't."

"I shouldn't. But I would, to keep you. But why wouldn't I have both? Your blood is just as blue as her's. And you'd make a fine queen. If...if that's what you want?"

"You...you'd marry me?"

"Of course I would!"

The blades clatter to the ground and Marie moves enough to throw her arms around his neck. "Promise?"

Alistair tightened his grip on her, nuzzling against the crook of her neck. "I promise--I will become king, and you will be my queen. There is no one else I will accept at my side, and if the nobility wants the Therin bloodline on the throne, they'll have to accept you. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Alright then. We should get inside so you can warm up, you feel frigid."

Marie went to pull away, but the moment Alistair had enough space to he swept her up into his arms. "Alistair!" She finally laughed, a smile breaking out of her features.

"What? If you're my fiance, I should be able to carry you about as I please. If you allow it, of course."

She flushed at being called his fiance, but still reached up to wrap her arms around his neck. "I'll allow it, my bethrothed."

Dumb Post About Harris’s Hawks

Intelligent, deadly pack hunters: raptors.

No, not those girls.

These girls.

Harris’s Hawk is the only raptor (i.e., bird of prey) that hunts together as a pack using teamwork to take down their prey. Most birds of prey are solo hunters, and if they’re social at all, it’s limited to mated pairs getting together to raise their young before going their separate ways. Even Bald Eagles (the America Bird), who are monogamous and will raise children with the same mate year after year, are pretty much loners most of the time. They get together in the spring, have some chicks, and then fly away like “see you next year, honey.” So while it’s remarkable that they’re able to find their mate again every year and they’re great parents, they’re not really that social.

(These lovebirds do win the prize for best at long-distance relationships)

Harris’s Hawks, on the other hand, are always together. Living and working together to survive. That’s pretty amazing. Not only are the coordinating hunting together, but they’re also coordinating their attacks from the air.

(literal wingman) Harris’s Hawks live in South America, Central America, and the South Western US (Arizona and Texas). Since they aren’t that big, they eat a lot of little things, birds, lizards, small mammals, and giant insects. But because they have figured out how to hunt in groups, they can take down larger prey. In fact, in the Northern part of their range (Arizona and Texas), their favorite food is the desert cottontail, which weighs about 1.8 lbs. They’ve also been known to take down prey weighing over 2lbs like jackrabbits (which weigh from 3 to 6 lbs and can run up to 40 miles an hour).

( Run Rabbit, Run Rabbit) Why is that so impressive? Well, the males only weigh about (1.204 to 1.874 lb), while the adult female average is (2.269 lb). 2lbs max is pretty small. That rabbit they’re chasing weighs about as much as they do or more and is hella fast. Imagine killing something that’s almost the same size as you are or bigger using only your feet. That’s hard.

They have the tools to do it, bigger powerful beaks and large deadly claws:

(look at the size of its claws compared to the rest of its body)

(just like it’s distant dinosaur ancestors: murder feet) However, as with Jurassic Park’s fictional raptors, what makes these girls dangerous is the power of teamwork. The first Hawk flies right for the prey. It sees the danger, it runs, and that’s when the attack comes, not from the back but from the side and the other raptor it didn’t even know was there. (Wanna see?)

(clever girls) Often called the “Wolves of the Sky,” the Harris Hawk not only hunts in packs like wolves but lives in family groups. The “alpha” hawk as it were (alpha theory of dominance isn’t real) is the big female, or you know mom.

(Mom raises her babies with the help of her family, in their Sonora-Arizona range they nest in cactus) The babies don’t “leave the nest” as soon as they outgrow their fluffy murder muppet stage. The young from previous years stick around and make up the pack. The hierarchy goes Mom, Dad ( other Dad if she has two male mates) older siblings, and younger siblings.

(They also like to stand on top of each other to form a hawk family tower)

The pack size ranges from 2 - 7 birds, and this family not only hunts together but takes care of the nest as a team with siblings looking out for their new baby brothers and sisters. While the babies will be ready to fly in about 2 months, they will stay with their parents pack for up to three years before heading out to start families of their own. Because these hawks are intelligent and social, they have become super popular among falconers.

(see what I mean about them being small, if the Bald Eagle is the T-Rex of the skies, these really are the raptors) Also, the babies are adorable:

(well I think they’re cute anyway) These hawks are the closest you’ll get to Jurassic Park. Intelligent, pack-hunting raptors. If you’d like to see them in action, you can visit a pack at the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum, which has flying demonstrations daily in the winter (you know, when the pandemic is over *this post is from 2020*). Just remember:

They Stack

They Attack

And most importantly: They Hunt with the Pack

happy thedasweekend! y'know, i am very intrigued by kattryn and bethany's dynamic and am 100% gonna go with the additional prompt 182: "We grew apart, as sisters do. But I still wish I had seen her one last time." bc yeah, so many feelings 🥺

Ugh I'm so glad someone sent this in. I know I could have just written it unprompted but this is more fun. Please enjoy, @broodsys for @thedasweekend!!

"Hey. Can we talk?" Kattryn ducked her head into Karmyn's tent, where her cousin sat preparing for the seige of Adamant tomorrow.

"Of course. Come sit." The warden patted the pillow next to her and waited for Kattryn to sit. "What's up?"

"...When did you see Bethany last?"

Realizing they were about to have a serious conversation, Karmyn set her weapons aside. "Maybe 6 months ago? Ran into her at Weissaupt. Why?"

"How was she?"

"Well enough--her and Nate were delivering some reports for the Ferelden Wardens. Managed to catch them for a day in between my own trips. It was good to see them."

"Nate...he was that Warden that I went looking for in the Deep Roads, right?"

"Mhm. That's why Bethany was in Kirkwall for the final assault, remember?"

"I do. Did you know that was the last time I saw her?"

"What?!"

"The Wardens kept her busy, and we had a really hard time working through me practically forcing her into the Wardens so she wouldn't die in the Deep Roads. I just...I didn't want her to die, not so soon after Carver. Even if I never saw her again, at least I was giving her a chance."

"Bethany was always hesitant to talk about Kirkwall. It took a few months for us to be able to have real conversations about you and the rest of the family. That's when I started writing you, but..." She paused, unsure if she wanted to continue.

"You can say it--I heard more from you than I did her."

"...Yeah. I'd be ready to send something out to Kirkwall, and ask if she had anything to send. She rarely said yes."

Kattryn sighed. "I guess it's not unusual for sisters to go apart. But...but I wish I had seen her one more time."

Karmyn reached out and squeezed her knee. "You will. We'll get through the siege, and we'll reunite you two."

The older woman sighed, resting her hand on top of Karmyn's. "I've never understood how you've remained optimistic despite everything you've gone through."

"Because I'll never get anything done otherwise."

"Then I'll be honest with you--I am not optimistic about tomorrow."

"I'm not going to let you die."

"I don't plan on dying, Kar. Just...I don't know. Don't you ever feel like you're building to the end?"

"Every day since I drank darkspawn blood and knew I was on borrowed time."

Kattryn shook her head. "No...no I think this is different."

"It doesn't matter--you'll get to see her one last time." Karmyn's voice was firm, refusing to accept a different answer from her cousin.

"If I don't though. Just let her know I was thinking of her. That I wish we'd had more time, that I could have figured my shit out better so we could have stayed close." She took both of Karmyn's hands and gave them a squeeze. "And you should know that getting to meet you and become close was an unexpected pleasure."

Unbidden, a tear streaked down Karmyn's face. "Please don't talk like this, Katy. You're scaring me."

"No. If I'm not going to get this resolution with Beth, I at least want to get it with you."

"I'll-I'll let her know. She deserves to know you were thinking about her, if this ends up being your end. Which I am not planning on allowing to happen."

The next day, the pair would tumble into the fade alongside the Inquisitor and her companions. And when the time came for someone to make the sacrifice and allow the others to leave, Kattryn didn't give anyone a choice; she shoved Karmyn into the arms of the Inquisitor and yelled for them all to run. The first thing Karmyn did once she was alone was start penning a letter to Bethany.

Dear Beth,

I'm sorry to be the one that needs to tell you this, but I feel it should come from me. During the siege of Adamant, a group of us fell into the Fade, including myself and Katy. Unfortnately, she didn't make it out. She sacrificed herself in order for the rest of us to get out. None of us would be alive without her, and who knows what Corypheus would get up to with the Inquisitor gone.

She had a feeling that this was going to be her last stand. Her last thoughts were of you, Beth. She wished things could have ended differently with the two of you. I know that probably won't mean much coming from me, but I promised I would pass the message along.

We've got a handle on this false Calling, so if you're able, please come to Skyhold. Varric can tell you how to get there. I would love to see you again, and we can remember Katy together. I'm writing Fenris too, and...well, maybe he won't be so mad if we're both there.

All my love,

Karmyn
