My canon Heroes of Thedas. 💖 RIP to my assorted elf rogues that had brief, shining moments of being canon. 😅

#DragonAge
A graphic that shows my Hero of Ferelden, Elaryn Cousland. It includes a portrait of her in the Warden-Commander armour with the hilt of a blade over her shoulder. She has pale skin and sage green eyes that are narrowed in an expression of focus. Her dark brown hair is pulled back with a few strands framing one side of her face. The graphic also displays her key personality traits, borrowed from the Dragon Age 2 dialogue wheel--an olive branch for diplomacy, wings and a halo for helpful/good, and a diamond to symbolize charm. Beneath them are three images from the warrior tree in Dragon Age: Origins and Awakening; crossed swords for two-weapon fighting, a trophy for the Champion specialization, and a blue shield with a human figure inside for the Guardian specialization. Below the icons is an image of Alistair's face cropped in a heart to indicate that he is Elaryn's romance interest. A graphic that shows my Champion of Kirkwall, Dacia Hawke. It includes two portraits of her, one on top of the other; the first and larger the two shows her in Dragon Age 2 while the second is from Dragon Age: Inquisition. She's the default Lady Hawke without the blood smear--pale skin, piercing cyan eyes, short black hair, deep red lips. The graphic also displays her key personality traits using icons from the Dragon Age 2 dialogue wheel--an olive branch for diplomacy, a laughing mask for humorous, and a diamond to symbolize charm. Beneath them are three images from the warrior tree in Dragon Age 2; the symbol for the taunt, shield bash, and resolute skills, indicating that her combat style is made up of skills from the warmonger, weapon & shield, and defender trees. Below the icons is an image of Fenris's face cropped in a heart to indicate that he is Dacia's romance interest. A graphic that shows my Inquisitor, Marian Trevelyan. It includes two portraits of her, one on top of the other; the first and larger the two shows her in Dragon Age: Inquisition while the second is from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. She's in her early 30s (Inquisition) with tan skin, cold blue eyes, very short grey hair in Inquisition and a grey-white ponytail in Veilguard. She also has a large scar on her cheek and another through her right eyebrow. The graphic also displays her key personality traits using symbols from the Inquisition dialogue wheel--an armoured soldier with folded arms to indicate being stoic, a red circle with a lyrium-blue star in the middle that means arcane knowledge, and a green book with an infinity symbol on it that means history knowledge. Beneath them are three images from the mage skill tree to indicate what schools of magic she specializes in; they're a blue book for the Winter school of magic, a green book for the Spirit school, and a dark brown book with a gold sword on it for the Knight-Enchanter specialization. Below the icons is an image of Blackwall/Thom's face cropped in a heart to indicate that he's Marian's romance interest. A graphic that shows my Rook, Ruya Laidir. It features a portrait of her smiling; she's a female qunari with dark grey/blue skin, purple eyes, gold makeup around her eyes, and assorted abstract designs done in tattoos and decorative scars on her face. She has long black hair that's shaved in an undercut and there are decorative gold bands at the base of each swept-back horn. The graphic also displays her key personality traits using icons from the Veilguard dialogue wheel--a thumbs-up symbol for honest, an eye with a tear beneath it for sentimental, and a laughing mask for playful. Beneath them are two images from the warrior skill tree; the first is the warrior core icon of a shield with crossed blades and an axe, and the other is the symbol for the Mourn Watch, indicating that her core specialization is Reaper. Between them is the symbol for the Lords of Fortune, her faction. Below the icons is an image of Emmrich's face cropped in a heart to indicate that he is Ruya's romance interest.

Randomly doomscrolling and dipped into the comments on an article about Avatar and how it has no cultural impact because "no wants to have sex with giant cat aliens".

After several "apparently you've never met the internet" comments, Mass Effect inevitably popped up as an example. 😆

HoF - Most devout out of the four, Andrastian.
Hawke - Sunday Andrastian.
Inquisitor - Used to be devout Andrastian but being sent to the Circle turned her atheist. She sure loves being called the Herald of Andraste. 🙃
Rook - Formerly Qunari, now nothing, other than faith in the goodness of people.

The void looking back. 😋 That's Miso on the left and Kasumi in the void. 🥰

A photo showing a kitty stretched out behind a small cat tree with a little den. The den appears empty. A very similar picture except it reveals that the den in fact has a black kitty in it, her eyes now facing the camera.

Never pictured it before but now I am and I'm giggling at how endearing Ruya would be. She doesn't dress to impress, she just does her best because that's what the host wants.

Although her idea of fancy is wearing even more gold than usual and a dress so tacky it'd make an Orlesian faint. 😆

Huh. So. Playing ME1 for the...10th? time last night. I always play the same--Paragon, Kaidan romance.

Only last night I actually hit a variation on some of the romance dialogue that's so much better than what I've gotten the other 9? times. 🤨

Happy Birthday Inquisition!! 💚
Canon Inquisitor, Marian Trevelyan. The gang. My original canon Inquisitor, Arinaya Lavellan, replaced by Marian after some Twitter drama with Cullen's voice actor made it hard to romance the character for a while. 😅 Then fell in love with the Blackwall romance and in general felt like Marian was a better fit for the role.

HoF - No scars 'til mauled by an adult Childer in Awakening.
Inquisitor - No scars 'til attacked by an Abomination/former friend during the fall of the Ostwick Circle. Plus bonus grey hair from stress. 👍
Rook - Decoratively scarred and tattooed her face in defiance of the Qun.
Side by side screenshots showing Elaryn Cousland from Origins-era and from Inquisition-era. Side-by-side of Marian Trevelyan while in the Circle vs after a few years living on the run after the fall of the Circle and during Inquisition. Ruya Laidir wearing a defiant expression with the lighting highlighting her cheek scars.

Windows tells me it's World Kindness Day, so here's some Ruru, the kindest of my OCs. 🥰

(I don't know who calls her Ruru other than me. 😆 Maybe Bellara? Oh, definitely Isabela. 😁)

Ruya "Rook" Laidir with a big smile. Ruya with a warm smile. Another warm smile, this time in full armour. :P A relaxed smile with her fellow Lords.

"Uh, Lieutenant? Need a hand?"

Loaded in last night and this is where I found Kaidan. Silly Canadian. 😜

Screenshot from Mass Effect 1 on PS5. Kaidan has spawned in a spot that should be inaccessible. A different angle from the previous screenshot, this one from Shepard's perspective looking down at Kaidan.

a tarot card like illustration featuring Alistair Theiring from Dragon Age series, he's dressed into his warden uniform, wearing his royal cloak over one shoulder. He's holding his sword, standing on a darkspawn head, in the background there is a blighted land and hints of battle of Ostagar

Gonna focus on Marian for this [because the other 3 are tanks 😆].

She starts off Winter focused and stays on the edge of combat, then midway goes Knight-Enchanter with strong barriers and is Fade-stepping in and out of the thick of things to deal damage and provide support for the party.
Screenshot from Dragon Age Inquisition showing a spirit protecting Marian from a lunging wolf. Another screenshot showing Marian with her back to the camera and staff ready for when the dragon in the distance comes back around.

HoF x Alistair: What a dork. Am I into dorks now? 🫣
Hawke x Fenris: Maker, he just crushed that guy's heart. Why is that doing something for me? 😳
Inquisitor x Blackwall: I have such a lady boner right now. 🥵
Rook x Emmrich: I love him. 😍

I don't know how many times I've taken screenshots of the ME trilogy over the years. HOPEFULLY this will be the last time, with playing Legendary Edition on PS5 for the first time. But being a PS3 player, I've used phone cameras, digital cameras, a capture card, then LE on the PS4. 😅

Updated AO3 a little earlier than usual 'cause I've been steeped in Mass Effect lately and have been itching to post again. 😁 But we're into part 2 now, which shifts the primary POV from Kaidan to Shepard. 💖
