For the codex prompts: 12? :D

You got it! Thanks for asking <3

#12 - your oc overheard while drunk

The Herald was in rare form tonight. Months now, she’s been here, and I thought her so severe, as unapproachable as that Ferelden Frostback in the Hinterlands. Apparently, all it takes to crack the facade is an enormous Qunari, his band of mercenaries, and lots of ale. Maker, the laugh on Her Worship--nothing’s held back, it almost sounds painful, like she's never quite learned how to do it proper.

They were looking at her mark tonight, heads all tilted in curiosity while they stared at her palm, and she says ‘What do you mean where does it go? Like--what’s in there? How the fuck should I know? Maybe...maybe, erm…Maker’s ass no I am not letting anyone stick their--’

Not sure what The Iron Bull said to her then, but I am sure ale shot out of her nose.

‘I'm gonna ask Solas’ she insisted, somewhere in between fits of laughter. ‘I am! This is...it’s...academic. For academia. The scholarly pursuit of cocks and hands, yeah?’

It was nice to see her unwind.

Less nice to see her crawl into the bushes to be sick later on, though. Do they not let mages indulge, in the Circle?

6 for Frankie Shepard?

#6 someone describing a time your OC helped them

Ohh thank you! This got a little long, sorry about that!

A young woman in her mid-twenties, by herself in an interview for a documentary.

Commander Shepard. I met her once. On Omega, years ago. I didn’t recognize her at the time, though. I was…drunk. And high. I was having a bad time, no money, no food, nowhere to sleep. I was being hassled by some guys in this back alley. These three huge, huge guys. I knew them from around, friends of friends, but they weren’t my friends that day. They…they wanted my money. I only had a few credits, but it was enough for them to assault me. I was crying, screaming for someone to help me, but on Omega nobody listened. Nobody cared. I was just another street rat, and nobody wanted these guys to turn to them next. They were trying to rip my clothes off…I guess they wanted more than money. I thought about just giving up and letting them do whatever they wanted because it would be easier than fighting. But then this woman showed up and totally kicked their asses. I mean completely obliterated them. I had never seen anything like it before. This woman single handedly beat off these three giant thugs. She didn’t even use her guns. It was insane. Anyway, when they were gone she found me a blanket to wrap around myself. She was so nice to me, and I didn’t understand why. She asked me where I lived and if she could walk me home. I was homeless, so she took me to one of the safer hotels in the main city. She bought me a room for a few days, paid for my meals, even got me some new clothes. It was….it was more kindness than anyone had shown me in a while. I asked her who she was and she said her name was Frankie. I asked her why she helped me and she said everybody deserves a little kindness. I was in shock. I kept expecting her to ask me for a favour, for something in return, but she didn’t. All she asked was that I take care of myself and that one day, when I could, to show some kindness to somebody else. My life was never the same after that day. My life didn’t feel worthless anymore. I felt like I mattered again. I got off Omega soon after that. I got clean, I got a job. It wasn’t until a year after that when I saw her, Commander Shepard, on a vid. I recognized her as soon as I saw her. Frankie, the kind woman who saw me when I was invisible. The woman who helped me just because she could. It’s because of her that I’m alive today.

Number 5 for each/both of the twins~

5. letters between two of your OC’s companions about them

Junior,

For what it’s worth, your visit to Skyhold was a good thing, even if your first intention was to lash out (which I get, believe me).

I wasn’t expecting you to bring Whistle’s sister with you, and I know a thing or two about shocking reveals and impossible coincidences. But that was good. Tragedy’s more common than anything, but not everything has to be dark.

Glad you got something going on for you.

Varric,

She and her brother reminded me of Bethany and I.

I don’t have time for anger anymore, can’t afford it. You’re right, it was good. Bittersweet but good.

Make sure that the Inquisition doesn’t sacrifice her sibling too. Because if it does, I don’t know what I’ll do.

Thank you <3<3

6. someone describing a time your OC helped them 

The others told me a whole party of Wardens saved the village. But she saved me.

I didn’t even ask her name, but I’m not sure she’d have told me. She had blue markings on her face, like those Dalish.

We were surrounded by fire and these hideous creatures. I was pinned under the collapsed roof. I told her to take my daughter and leave me, I was lost. She yelled at me, stood between us and the monsters and killed them all. She got wounded, she had a nasty slash on her back and she couldn’t stand properly on her left leg.

After the battle, when I went to see her as the healers tended to her, I asked her why she didn’t leave.

“We are the ones making sacrifices so you don’t have to” she said.

Thank you <3<3

OC codex 13 for frankie shep

#13 transcript of an interview with your OC

Reporters surrounding Commander Francine Shepard on the Citadel, each shoving a camera in her face and shouting questions over each other. Shepard appears flustered, and keeps pushing people out of her way as she tries to reach her ship

Reporter: Commander Shepard! How does it feel to be back from the dead?

Commander Shepard: Fantastic. Never felt better.

Reporter: What can you tell us about the Normandy attack? How many crew were lost?

CS: Too many.

Reporter: Could you have done anything differently? Could you have saved any of them?

CS: It was hectic, lots of people died on the first hit. No, I don’t think I could’ve done anything differently. I did what I could in the moment.

Reporter: Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams was lost just before the attack on the Citadel. Do you have anything to say to her family?

CS: looks up, eyes narrowed I’ve spoken to her family already.

Reporter: She sacrificed herself for your cause. How does that feel?

CS: looks down and away, then pushes the reporter out of the way as she speeds down the corridor and into the docking bay

OC codex prompts: 3 for Rinna?

3. a report written by your OC’s teacher or mentor

The new recruit has taken the Joining today. She made it, currently resting with the healers.

I had hoped she would.

I was reluctant to let her join, at first. She looks so young. She said she had already lost everything, that if she died during the ritual, it would only be a form of closure. She was very driven when she argued, I don’t think she would have relented.

Whether she proves to be a good Warden or not remains to be seen, but she already has a Warden’s stubbornness, so I’d say she’s on the right path.

Thank you <3<3

4 for nin!

4. a letter from your OC to their love interest 

Ma’sylvun,

Things went better than expected! I’ll tell you more in person of course, this letter only precedes me by a little while. We should arrive at the camp in a couple of days.

I hope the Dales are as beautiful as the tales of the elders make them to be. I can’t wait to see them!

Ar lath ma.

Yours, always,

- N.

Thank you <3<3
