i also like to think about varric telling stories to the inquisition party about the shenanigans he and hawke used to get in to. like about that time they broke into the gallows and stole some templar’s underclothes or the time they convinced a different templar for five minutes that varric was a mage

and then cullen just interrupts with ‘both of those were me

a character design came to me in a dream…..

he is a cursed half-elf knight/(prince?) who tattoos all the scars he gets in gold

some ideas that i’m fuckin around with!

  • he name idrissa!!!!!!
  • he’s like 24
  • knight in his human father’s country; his mother is an elf from elfland and he regularly visits with his mom in times of peace
  • half-elves kind of get a “bless ur heart” attitude sometimes from full elves because–if they can even use it –their magic isn’t as strong and is more taxing… but full elves don’t usually mean any harm by it
  • THAT SAID! when he was young it kind of took its toll on him!! because he really wanted to connect with his mama’s side of the family!!!
  • in an attempt to boost his magical prowess as a kiddo he went and got himself cursed (geis’d)
  • so he can use magic pretty well buuUUUUt
  • his geis is something tricky, br00tal, and extensive–as a kid it started off seemingly harmless but by now he’s bound by it and every refusal costs him half his remaining lifespan (??? still working on consequences but basically he’s stuck)
