OC Inspiration - Jericho Mercar
I was tagged by @kogarashi-art and encouraged to post by @hedwigoprah @chaosherald @sorcerousadventurer @viagosbrother @mushrooms-x-moss @serialsforbellara and @picathartidae So this one is for all of you 💖
Who or What inspired the creation of your OC? A little game because I'm curious to see how everyone created their character, whether in personality, appearance, or aesthetics!
I'm going to apologize in advance for if this gets long and rambling. The inspiration for Jericho was, and continues to be, very strong, and aligns my two strongest hyperfixations. (Dragon Age and music). But it would really mean a ton to me for people to take the time to read it. This is a special story for me.
Despite Jericho being the 3rd Rook I played (Marina and Aleksi were first), Jericho already existed as a very strong concept in my head prior to Veilguard's release. If you want to know how that happened... then we have to go back to May 2024...
damn this bus stop is perfect. now if we could just find somebody to stand upwind of everybody and smoke a decrepit cigarette they found in a tomb
bitching about outdoor second hand smoke while simultaneously being in or around a car pollution encased bus stop is wild when u consider for even a moment how much worse general car pollution impacts u compared to occasional second hand smoke like …. let’s pick ur battles
Picture this, you're at a bus stop on your way to work when suddenly through the dense fabric of your kn95 mask which you wear every single day like you have for the past 5 years you smell something evil. A scowling, rancorous smell like someone walked into the Paris catacombs and took a long drag off a femur that once belonged to the world's most hateful frenchman. You glance upwind and see a dude with a manbun puffing fat clouds of malice out of a ghoul's severed finger. You post about it on tumblr and it gets just enough traction to find the one person on the whole website brave enough to say, "You can't complain about that. Because cars cause pollution and you don't wear a mask."

While I'm posting, Cirys's ace Pokémon is dhelmise. I wanted to think it was gengar but a genderless kelp ghost that drags around an anchor is too accurate for them.
Harding's would be an arcanine that she raised from a growlithe. The fire stone was a gift from the Inquisitor. Lace takes naps with her frequently, and Cirys finds it adorable.
Illario would have a milotic that most people assume he bought, but Lucanis knows he raised from a feebas. It wouldn't stop following him around Treviso.
Ok this meme was too fun not to do, I haven’t posted in ages because I’ve been playing through all the Pokémon games as nuzlockes. (RIP Nutty Buddy the Linoone, you are missed) I got tagged by @sandcastlekings
Cirys “Rook” Laidir born in 9:34 Dragon as Kiana Laidir was originally from a no-name village near Kont-aar. They wouldn’t say they’ve had the worst life possible, they’ve met plenty with worse. Sure they had a kid and lost him but there are plenty of parents who have dealt with that. Their husband dying was… Unfortunate but still. The slavery on a galley ship they could have lived without. Although they doubt they would have met Isabela if that was the case maybe they would have never been a Lord of Fortune.
If Isabela had never introduced them to Varric they might have never helped save the world as Rook! Maybe they wouldn’t have fallen in love with Lace (although losing her hurt like a bitch). Treviso might’ve been blighted! Maybe the inquisitor would never have reunited with Solas.
They certainly wouldn’t have ever gotten to know Illario and eventually fall in love with him. He was a surprise, one they hadn’t ever expected. Yet now they're happier than they've ever been in life.
But what if...
I finally finished weaving my snowy band! Instead of being done and moving on, I've decided to sew a little drawstring project bag to feature it. This will be the first time I've incorporated my weaving into a larger project, which I've been meaning to do for a while now! It'll also be my first time sewing a bag.
I was planning on embroidering a couple scattered stars on the fabric to tie it into the band, but things quickly got out of hand.
Several days and many, many, podcasts later, this is where I'm at. The embroidery is done, and I've very roughly mocked up the bag so I can plan out the rest of it. The starry fabric to the left will be the bag's lining.
I really want to weave or braid the drawstrings with the remainder of the loom waste, but it's all a bit too short. I don't think it'd be worth knotting them together to add length. Currently debating what to do. (I played and won a dangerous game of yarn chicken with 3/5 of the fibers I used. The loom waste is all I've got)
And we're done!
I'm so happy with how it turned out! Thanks to various interfacings and the lining, the bag stands up nicely on its own but is still soft and crumply.
Having a white flannel bottom was objectively a bad call, but it had to be done. For the aesthetics. Star shaped stitching was also non-negotiable.
Drawstring holes were stitched up with more handspun yarn. It took a long time for me to decide what I wanted to do for the drawstrings themselves. I eventually decided to try tubular weaving, which was a great call. Weaving plainweave tubes is so fast??? Extremely satisfying after how painfully slow the band was.
I see more woven cordage and handmade bags in my future.
Way too funny not to share
Ok now I'm just trying to imagine what Illario was up to in the year that Lucanis was "dead." Like he had to have been going on contracts right? He couldn't exactly be like "Sorry I'm a little too caught up in Venatori traitor business to work right now." It would be interesting if he tried to convince people that he was grieving too much to be able to take them, but I don't think that's an excuse that would have flown with Caterina. Also surely he wouldn't want to undermine the whole reason he did all of this in the first place, right? Anyway he's surely a competent Crow in his own right but man I have to imagine how those first few solo contracts must've felt when he started to fully realize exactly what he signed himself up for.
What if Illario not only has to work alone but he realizes that he still can't live up to the ghost of Lucanis, both in his mind and in the minds of his colleagues and Caterina? Someone who's gone often takes on a legendary status, and when they actually were the best, how much of a shadow would that cast? He's also got to balance this relationship with Zara now and his work, wherever that takes him.
I have to imagine that would be the ultimate humiliation for him (up until, you know, everything else.) Not even good enough to live up to a memory.
All of this is great. Consider: the imagery of shadows in their relationship in general.
