my personal friend, and yours. dak-wai began life as my 10 charisma paladin durge, and then i became so fond of them i keep putting them in other games. morally conflicted agender lesbian with a flat affect who only really knows how to kill things, and is trying to work that into a justified, fulfilling purpose in life by pursuing vengeance or making themself into a shield for others. more successful at this in bg3, where they do save the world, than in datv, where they become an abomination and let the veil fall because they wanted to kill solas really bad. but they have cool wings
Caden Trevelyan (tag link) featured in: i know you’d kill me if you could stand the sight of blood, god will give him blood to drink, when the wolfsbane blooms
the neglected, unruly youngest child of the trevelyans was transformed into the perfect templar thanks to the influence of knight-commander havard trevelyan, his great-uncle. caden’s entry into the order under havard’s guidance allowed him the opportunity to transition, and resulted in the most fucked up repressed blond man to ever hit thedas. he is faithful to the maker, dedicated to serving the chantry, and fundamentally convinced that he deserves to spend his whole life suffering because there’s something unnameable wrong with him. 100% committed to embodying the role of andraste’s herald. has really normal relationships with older authority figures, such as cassandra, who he made divine, and solas, who he literally just likes. and also punched. and also kind of blames for forcing him to go back on lyrium after secretly trying to quit. it’s complicated.
who is the definitive best character?
