Drawtober night 3~ I drew two things tonight but I’m gonna split them up because different fandoms get different responses. :p
This is Remli Lavellan, my main Inquisitor, hanging out with a friendly halla. No real story behind this, I just really like drawing large, soft herbivores, and halla have a soft spot in my heart. Post getting dumped in a wyrm-infested glade, Remli knows that the only one she can really rely on are her harts and halla (and Fluffy the undead unicorn).
If I end up doing more livestreams like this I’ll be sure to remember to post about it next time, haha whoops. Thank you for hanging out, @raynnromantica! <3
I was tagged by @candystrippers, thanks! Been a while since I did one of these. :)
Rules:
1. Pick an original character!
2. Fill in the questions/statements as if you were being interviewed for an article and you were the character/muse
3. Tag people to do the same: Anyone who wants to do it, maybe @warsonghold, @mindtrove @raynnromantica @ofdalishorigin?
Written short-story style (sort of) below the cut:
Remli would be having words with Josie when all was said and done. It probably wouldn’t come to blows (probably), although she would ditch the formal dinner and go out for a hunt in quiet rebellion as soon as the interview concluded.
An elderly Orelsian noble sat poised on the edge of her seat, quill in hand and portable desk in place. Remli had forgotten the woman’s name already, something frilly and difficult to wrap the tongue around, not that the Inquisitor would be able to read the article the woman was putting together, anyway. Why on earth did Orlesians keep popping up and asking her about things that were none of their business? And why did they expect her to tell them everything when they openly admitted that they would be publishing her responses? Leliana would have to explain the logic behind it at some point, maybe it was a ‘human’ foible.
Still, she could play her part. Remli tightened a smile in place and sat patiently as the old woman went through a list of questions for her interview. It might have been the mask muffling the Inquisitor’s replies, or perhaps it was the woman’s own failing health that had her shouting at Remli, despite the intimate setting. Remli forced herself not to flinch at each loud inquiry and held a cup of tea to occupy her hands from less murderous tasks.
1. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
I am Inquisitor Remli Lavellan.
2. NO SERIOUSLY WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME
My full name is Sylvirem’lin of clan Lavellan, if that is what you ask. It means “Flying or Airborn one.” I prefer “Remli” however. I’ve seen some... interesting interpretations in the spelling of Sylvirem’lin.
3. DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU WERE CALLED THAT?
My clan has a coming of age tradition where one chooses the name they wish to carry into adulthood. I chose the name because I hunted from the tops of trees, keeping to the windy and high places.
4. ARE YOU SINGLE OR TAKEN?
I.... I am apart from my beloved at the moment, but he is never far from my thoughts or dreams.
5. DO YOU HAVE ANY ABILITIES OR POWERS?
I am no mage, if that is what you mean. I am adapting my skills to the loss of my arm, but this has not hindered me in completing scouting missions and other things on the field.
6. STOP BEING A GARY STU.
... My apologies, I find that sometimes I do not understand human phrases or terms. If you have a complaint of my conduct, please file it with Lady Montilyet.
7. WHAT IS YOUR EYE COLOR?
Green.
8. HOW ABOUT YOUR HAIR COLOR?
Auburn....
9. HAVE YOU ANY FAMILY MEMBERS?
I have a half-brother whom I have not seen in years and a father in even longer time. Keeper Lavellan was like a grandmother to me for many years growing up, and I’ve come to feel as though the people who joined me under the banner of the Inquisition have become my new family.
10. I SEE… WHAT ABOUT PETS?
I don’t understand this human fascination with keeping creatures as objects of amusement. I have a persistent herd of harts that follow me about when I’m in the courtyard, and the keep’s cats seems to have decided that my room is now theirs. I do not keep a “pet” in the sense that you mean, however.
11. TELL ME ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON’T LIKE.
I am not overly fond of shoes or clothing that’s only purpose is to dazzle.
12. DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES/ACTIVITIES YOU LIKE DOING?
I enjoy spending my free time walking the woods around the keep with my harts. I spend my free time in the evenings beside the hearth with a book or visiting with friends when they return to Skyhold.
13. EVER HURT ANYONE BEFORE?
I assume you mean emotionally. Yes. I think it is unavoidable sometimes.
14. EVER…KILLED ANYONE BEFORE?
Only those who have attacked me and mine.
15. WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU?
Do you mean what animal would I wish to be? In my youth, I would have said an eagle or a halla. Now... now I find such fancies foolish. I do feel more kinship with lone wolves, however.
16. NAME ONE OF YOUR WORST HABITS.
Agreeing to favors of friends before fully determining what it is they ask of me.
17. DO YOU LOOK UP TO ANYONE AT ALL?
I know a great number of people who have admirable qualities, there is no single person whom I hold in high esteem.
18. SEXUAL ORIENTATION?
I never truly gave it much thought, as it never seemed that it would be an opportunity for me. I was not prepared for the attraction that grew towards Solas.
19. DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL?
A Dalish hunter had no need for such institutional learning, although members of my clan taught me things like sewing and cooking. An old human woman taught me to read and write during a time of... healing.
20. DO YOU EVER WANT TO MARRY AND HAVE KIDS ONE DAY?
I... I do not foresee that as a possibility for me, although it is a pleasant dream.
21. WHAT ARE YOU MOST AFRAID OF?
Now? Not doing enough to make a difference.
22. WHAT DO YOU USUALLY WEAR?
*sigh* Just because I am Dalish does not mean I cavort about in the nude. I wear clothing that is light and does not inhibit movement. I usually have light leather armor on at least-- Corypheus may be defeated, but the world is still dangerous.
23. DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE?
Yes.
24. WHAT CLASS ARE YOU? (HIGH/MIDDLE/LOW)
I suppose the title of Inquisitor would imply that I have some standing in the nobility, but I’m not sure what “former Inquisitor” would entail. I still have Skyhold, so I suppose “Landholder” would suffice. It is more than what a clan would have, at any rate.
25. HOW MANY FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE?
I have been fortunate in meeting and befriending a great number of extraordinary people in my travels, yes.
26. THOUGHTS ON PIE?
I enjoy the savory pies prepared by Skyhold’s talented cooks.
27. FAVORITE DRINK?
The Iron Bull introduced me to hot cocoa, which is a wonderful pleasure on a long, cold night.
28. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE?
I’ve been to many fascinating places in my travels, although I find the beauty of the Emerald Graves particularly lovely.
29. WOULD YOU RATHER SWIM IN THE LAKE OR THE OCEAN?
I’m afraid I’ve never really been much for swimming. I prefer wading in streams or pools.
30. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN ANYONE?
I... didn’t I answer this already?
31. WHAT’S YOUR D.CK SIZE?
... Have you been speaking to our resident Red Jenny?
32. WELL, WHAT’S YOUR TYPE?
I do not have a type. I am attracted to the person, not a particular “type.”
AND WHAT ATTRACTS YOU?
I... hm. I am not sure what first attracted me to Solas. I suppose it was the sense of kinship I felt at first during those early days at Haven, and it grew to appreciation for his humor, gentle spirit, and passion for the things he loved. Now, I... it’s complicated.
33. ANY FETISHES?
... What sort of article are you writing? I thought this was a public relations piece?
34. SEME OR UKE? TOP OR BOTTOM? DOMINANT OR SUBMISSIVE?
I will not debase myself or my beloved to answer such a thing.
35. CAMPING INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?
What on earth is camping indoors? Is this an Orlesian pasttime?
36. ARE YOU WANTING THE QUIZ TO END?
Am I being quizzed? I am not sure what you mean, but yes, I believe this interview is over. Do make sure that you send your draft to Divine Victoria before your publication goes to print. I would not want to be the one who displeases Leliana with stories that might lead to... well. I’m sure you will have the good sense to write what is in the best interest of all parties.
Adventures in screencapping continues, I’m starting to get some OK pictures of my Inquisitors, woo. I just need to figure out how to pause cutscenes and remove subtitles and other GUI features, lol.
Anyway, Remli Lavellan, everyone! Fulfills an ancient ask tag from many moons ago
The one GOOD thing that happened tonight was that I was able to grab some screencaps of Remli for reference purposes. Still in Haven, but I’m getting there. -__-
Annnnd posting this separately ‘cause I like the colors.
Still got a ways to go with refining edges, placing objects/characters (believably), and contrast, but.... I think I did ok. <insert Tony Stark gif here>
