Before I get into these bios, I need to say: I have not finished DA:I. As such, these AUs explain through DAO up to the start of DA:I, but they don’t tell the ending of DA:I, cause I have no clue how it ends. Aside from more questions because fuck the egg head.
I also don’t know too terribly much about Tevinter, which is where some of my muses are from. So sorry if those sections are kinda lacking. @bygonesin lore dumped on me a lot about Tevinter and some about Antiva- though less was needed for Antiva because I do love my Antivan Elf boy from DAO.
Anyways though, everything is below the cut cause fucking hell writing AUs for nine characters is a lotta space and I’m sorry to everyone on mobile that the read more doesn’t work for.
The Trio
The three of them were all born in Kirkwall. They’re all from Hightown, but it’s far from unfamiliar to see them anywhere in the city. Their families are very different. Khal and Rion lost their mother as a child, and had to fight tooth and nail to keep their home when their father stopped responding to the world. They received a lot of support from their family friends, but eventually that had to run out. That was the turning point in which Rion started up a business, and Khal became a mercenary with Dez.
Dez’s family was much larger, with much more stability. Both his parents were living, and his younger siblings were all thriving. They did everything they could to help Khal and Rion after their mother died, but it only went so far. When Khal started going out on jobs, Dez went with her. Not to protect her, but to learn more about to world. To see the wonders he’s heard about in Varric’s stories.
Rion and Khal are commonly making connections everywhere they can. Rion for business, and Khal for work. Much to Rion’s distress, Khal found her way into mercenary work. The only thing he can do though, is work his hardest to run a business that can supply her with proper equipment so she’s not at risk.
Dez, similarly to Khal, does pick up oddball jobs, but seldom ever does he do it for money. He’s not looking for work, so much as he’s looking for a story. Commonly he does work with Khal, but not always. He enjoys spending time in the Hanged Man, picking up stories, and telling his own.
When he’s 21, Dez is with his brother Monty on a job in Ferelden. It starts out fine, but things don’t stay fine. They find themselves trapped in Denerim as a blight breaks out. They manage to survive, but it’s a terrifying experience. Afterwards they go back to Kirkwall, and stay there for some time with their family, not wanting to risk being separated like that again.
Seven years later their plan to stay safe in Kirkwall falls apart, with the explosion of the Chantry. All of them, Khal, Rion, and their father, as well as Dez’s whole family, are struck by the disaster. War breaks out, and none are really sure what to do. For the next 4 years the group of them are just trying to get by, until they find themselves back in Ferelden, joining up with the Inquisition. Dez, Monty, and Khal are all joining the fight. Rion proves himself as a valuable leader.
Levi Valter
Levi Valter was born in a noble family in Tevinter. Magic ran in his family for generations, so it was no surprise that he was gifted with it as well. He proved at a young age that he had far more power than his predecessors. Because of this he easily gained respect from those around him.
As an adult he did many things. First and foremost he maintained the family. House Teirany, headed by Tristan, had a long standing feud with House Valter. The elder generation didn’t care to make peace, and neither did Levi. Lani Teirany, on the other hand, believed her and Levi were destined to be together. A point that honestly just made Levi more willing to be in conflict with the Teirany family.
Despite the natural magic ability he had he refused positions with the Magistrates. His loyalty was to his family, and nothing beyond that. He’s not averse to expanding the family though. He does take a wife, a woman named Maggie. She’s from another noble family, but one with no ties to the conflict between Valter and Teirany. With Maggie he has a daughter who is now 8, named Isabel.
Cyrus Zerrin
Cyrus is, for all intents and purposes, normal. He’s no mage, he’s no warrior, he doesn’t work for the chantry even. He’s just a man. He has learned all he can on how to care for others, starting from a young age. When he was ten monsters began coming down from Redcliffe castle and attacking the town. He was forced, rather jarringly, into learning how to handle medicine.
He worked hard, as did everyone in town. But losses happened regardless. His best friend’s father died, among many others in town. After that Nyx took up defending their home. Cyrus admired him for it. They were so young, and worked so hard to protect everyone.
Years passed, and Cyrus lived his life. He was never one to get into trouble like Nyx and Libertus, but he never left their sides. He spent many long days and nights helping them in the bar, cleaning up after them when they sparred, taking Selena and Teyla home when it was too late to let the girls go alone. Even if Cyrus wasn’t a trained fighter, it made them feel more comfortable to have someone else with them.
Around a decade later though... things got bad. At the age of 17 a war broke out, starting in Kirkwall and quickly spreading south. Apostates and templars were fighting everywhere, and then a rift opened in the sky and demons were added to the chaos. Redcliffe was torn apart when a smaller rift tore open near the town. The Inquisitor managed to swoop in in time to save most, but Selena and Teyla were both lost.
After that battle Nyx and Libertus left to join the Inquisition. For a few months he stayed in Redcliffe, trying to help the people in his home. He didn’t stay for long though, without his sister, without his friends, he felt useless. He wanted to do more, so he left and joined the Inquisition as well.
During the months he was still at home, he was heavily depressed and trying to fill that hole with anything he could. This included one night stands, one of which was with a woman named Ocean. Unbeknownst to Cyrus this left her pregnant. When he gets back to Redcliffe he’s going to be in for quite the surprise.
Kanan Jarrus
Caleb was born from two apostates. They had once been apart of Ferelden’s circle, but escaped when they realized they would have a child. Their escape didn’t last long, but it was long enough for Caleb to be born. Because of how soon after his birth his parents were caught he was taken to the circle tower to be raised, as it was highly likely he would be a mage as well. His parents were made tranquil and he was never told of his relation to them. He then grew up knowing his parents, but not knowing who they were, as the tranquil had no reason to share that information. The only thing he had from his parents was the name Caleb Dume.
Growing up in the tower he of course was trained in how to use magic the moment he showed signs of being capable. Exactly as the Templars had expected. His upbringing was strict, and he never enjoyed it a whole lot. He knew there was more to the world outside the tower, and he wanted to experience it for himself.
As such, when he went for his Harrowing he hatched a plan to escape. It went off... with a few problems. But nothing he couldn’t get around. After spending his whole life around the Templars he knew how they worked, he knew how to outsmart them. Best of all, he knew what they would expect and how to go farther than their expectations.
Once he was outside the tower he went on the run, changed his name to Kanan Jarrus. He spent the rest of his life traveling, never staying too long in one place, never getting attached to anything or anyone. Even once he was in the world, he found it hard to be a part of the world.
He eventually meets a group that becomes like family. He fights through the Blight with them, and then when war breaks out he has no choice but to pick a side. As a mage who grew up subjected by the Templars he wasn’t about to stand by as a war for freedom waged.
Asha Shala
An elven, Antivan bounty hunter. He’s always been in competition with the Crows, but never had direct run ins with them. It’s more of a race. Marks get sent out to Crows and bounty hunters alike, and it’s always a fun game to see who kills the mark first.
Asha works alongside Jipp and Kelsyn, and they have a good thing going. They commonly do manage to beat the Crows, but there’s also a lot of jobs that go straight to the Crows. That’s where Jipp and Kelsyn work best. They’re the ones picking up jobs, or dropping in on the Crows to steal them.
Kelsyn is a Crow fugitive, so she knows how they operate, and sometimes she can even trick the younger Crows into believing she’s still one of them. That’s working less and less the more she does it, but it’s a fun strategy while it does work.
He’s vaguely aware that Ferelden, and perhaps all of Thedas, is falling apart, but it’s not effecting Antiva a whole lot so he’s not super worried about it.
Nyx Ulric
Nyx was born and raised in Redcliffe. He’s always loved dogs, so growing up he begged his parents for a dog. They refused for several years, but when Selena was old enough to join in on the begging they agreed to get a mabari puppy, as a full grown mabari would likely trample four year old Selena. Despite this, the dog grew faster than she did and in a year was nearly fully grown. Nyx would often times hold onto Selena and let her ride on the back of the mabari as if it were a horse. Their mother of course fussed at him, saying Selena would get hurt, but that never stopped him.
When Nyx was twelve his life took a, rather drastic, turn for the worse. Monsters started coming down from the castle, destroying the village and killing anyone they came across. Nyx’s father joined the fight, trying to defend the village. Finally when the Grey Wardens came and fought along side them, they were triumphant. Despite the overall triumph, Nyx’s father was fatally wounded in the battle.
After this Nyx started training to fight with his childhood friend Libertus. He wouldn’t let anything hurt his family again. In the aftermath of the battle he found one of his father’s kukris. The blacksmith, Owen, made a second blade for him. Before the wardens left one of them gave him a few pointers. His mother scolded him at first, as he would commonly come home hurt, but she understood he wasn’t doing it for fun. No mother wants to see their child grow up, but knowing he was learning to protect her and Selena was a small comfort. Having a war hound in the house didn’t hurt her feelings either.
The older he got the more he trained, then eventually getting a job at the tavern alongside Libertus. His mother had done what she could to support them, but it was hard. When he was nineteen a war broke out in Kirkwall. It spread south, nearly ripping Redcliffe apart. The fighting made leaving the city dangerous, and it only grew worse when the rift opened in the sky, allowing demons into their world. His home was near the wall, but still outside of the real limits of Redcliffe’s village. This left them open to attack, and that is exactly what happened. The Inquisitor saved him and his mother, but not until after Nyx had watched his sister be killed by shades. Nyx felt indebted to the Inquisitor and signed up with the inquisition.
As for how he fights, it’s not as simple as one might expect. He wields the kukris he’s had since he was a child, but with an added edge. The only people who knew were his family and Libertus. Around the time the monsters were attacking from the castle Nyx discovered he has magic. It’s weak, but it’s enough to give him an edge in a fight. He’s kept it hidden, especially since an apostate blew up the chantry. The Inquisitor, however, took notice and inquired about it. This was a major factor in Nyx’s decision to join the inquisition.
Titus Drautos
Drautos has always cared more about himself than others. His family was... family in appearance alone. Tevinter is not known for being kind or forgiving. It’s a place run on power, and if you’re not noble and a mage, you have next to none. Drautos is noble, but he has no magic and thus can’t get what he wants.
After living in that hell for over 30 years, he leaves. His name of nobility may or may not carry weight in Ferelden, but if nothing else the simpletons of the country can be easily used. The whole in the sky needs to be dealt with first, but after that Drautos can do anything in Ferelden.
Helping the Inquisition will no doubt make him a hero in the people’s eyes, and put him in a place above others. Where he can build his own family, one that actually has meaning. One that actually has power.
I made all my OCs in a Star Wars dress up game. Why? Mostly because I’m bored. But also so y’all can see what these nerds look like in their star wars AUs.
Top row is Darth Valter (aka Levi Valter), and Cyrus Zerrin
Bottom row is Khal and Rion McNiven and their buddy Dez Malley
Dez... has always been reckless. He carries a camera into battle and makes a killing off YouTube. Everyone of course thinks he’s just making elaborate videos with amazing graphics, but that’s fine. If anyone were to learn his videos are real... well that’d be another issue altogether. For the time being though, there’s no harm in a little extra cash when Morrison is slow to bring in jobs.
On the off days he’s usually found hanging out with Rion, going to Khal’s volleyball games, and spending time with his family. Every game attended is a vlog, which is mostly him just cheering on his friend, or poking fun at her and her “boyfriend” if she’d ever admit that they’re dating.
His parents aren’t fans of him hunting demons, but they can’t stop him and they know that. He’s always been stubborn. Similarly to him Monty followed him into the practice, although he focuses more on support than being a fighter. They’re still trying to keep Garret and Leo from following their brothers, but with little success. If the boys keep up like this, they may as well make their own office away from Dante and co. Rosalin just hopes none of them get killed... despite knowing demon hunters aren’t likely to live long lives.
