I was tagged by the ever-wonderful @spectre-tabris, thank you very much!
Inquisitor questionnaire! Answer the 3 questions, ask 3 of your own, and tag some friends! (including the person that tagged you might be nice) You can reuse questions if you can’t think of anything new or ask more than 3 too.
I have so...many different Inquisitors, but the most developed of them all is the Inquisitor baby that @asarinpc, my bootiful gf and I came up with, Raset Adaar. Honestly I would love to talk about her on a daily basis because I love her to death amen.
1. When your Inquisitor is in the fade, what does the Nightmare use to taunt them?
It uses Raset’s former occupation against her. She used to be an arishok in Par Vollen and she left after meeting her mother (her mother is another story entirely), but before then her faith and loyalty to the Qun was wavering. Raset is nice... almost too nice for her own good. I think I recall that arishoks aren’t what they are because of their leadership skills, but because they are able to make the hard decisions others might not be able to, like probably condemning people to death. Raset can’t do that, but she did for a time.
tl;dr: The Nightmare tells her she’ll revert back to her arishok ways, which prompts Raset to tell Cassandra to make sure she doesn’t.
2. Is your Inquisitor religious? What events shaped their faith (or lack thereof)?
Raset is Andrastian! It makes her feel better about herself and that she actually has a place in the world other than just... being a qunari mercenary for hire. She leads the Inquisition in the name of faith as well and she’s very adamant about that fact. Before the Inquisition, she would actually have some from her mercenary group run into Chantries to...get her copies of the Chant of Light. Because in no way would a Chantry allow a qunari in to read their books or anything.
And, AU dependent (because my gf and I do have an AU where she meets Cassandra very early on... like I mean, Raset is still arishok early on, and after she leaves Par Vollen, she finds Cassandra again), Cassandra would show her the way to the Maker... well, both her and her mom.
3. Your Inquisitor has had an absolutely terrible day. How do they unwind?
Raset has many activities she can use to unwind from a very unpleasant day! She can spare with Cassandra (she’s the only one who gives her a challenge because she doesn’t have to hold back her strength), take a bath, tend to the Skyhold garden (Raset knows everything there is to know about flowers and plants, she keeps a journal about them but that’s another story), sit and talk with Dorian (her best friend besides Leliana and her LI, Cass), sit with Leliana or take a nap under her table (Leliana will cover for her), read a book, or write a letter to her mom to tell her what made her mad (Raset is like, 37, but she’s only known her mom for 14 years... and her mom still probably calls Raset her baby, it’s something not avoidable but something Raset would never give up. Again, a story for another time!)
Hey, thank you again for tagging me in this. I love talking about Raset, she’s the love child of my girlfriend and I, just like Mirima Tabris (and she’s also another story for another day).
I’ll tag... @theniorah in this, because I can’t think of anyone else who really would want to do this... but if you do, just take the questions I put below!
1. Is your Inquisitor good at the Grand Game? If they are/aren’t, were they Belle of the Ball, or do they think the idea of the Grand Game is idiotic?
2. What is your Inquisitor’s class and specialization? Do they dabble in any other specializations to study them?
3. Who does your Inquisitor not get along with, based on conflicted beliefs? (Obv. This is outside if you really tried for a character’s approval but you know your Inquisitor wouldn’t get along with them ever.)
