so i kind of thought this game needed more elves

[bloodyantivan]

So I went ahead and brought in Zevran Arainai, the sexy rogue assassin from Dragon Age. Zevran is Spanish Antivan, charming (or annoying, depending on who you ask) and an equal opportunity flirt, as well as being a deadly assassin trained from childhood to kill you in all sorts of sneaky and creative ways.



I will be bringing Zev in midway through Dragon Age: Origins, before his loyalty quest is completed or A Paragon of Her Kind has been started - he and the Warden's party were on the way to the mountains when he was brought here. He has high loyalty toward the Warden (thanks to those stylish boots and gloves), might have the teensiest bit of a crush on her but is leaving her be since she seems to like Alistair, and is still cementing his role in the group and adjusting to the idea of being one of the good guys. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how he gets along in the game and to joining our stellar Dragon Age cast!

He's arrived here in the transports log, so I hope you'll come and play!

(BTW, this is Liam - the mun behind moralperil! Please feel free to get in touch with me via PM, via AIM (serial nostalgia) or add me on plurk (alienchrist!)

More elves, more rogues, more crazy sex poetry ...

[bloodyantivan]

More witty remarks to make bitter mages smile?

[birdhousesoul]

More stylish boots ...

[bloodyantivan]

More sexy tattoos.

[inafadingcrown]

Zevran! <3

Yes, good. Grow Dragon Age cast, grow! Also, I'm new here, my name is Beth and I'm adding you on plurk. <3

[bloodyantivan]

Zevran interacting with LOTR elves

You have no idea how greatly my heart has desired this.

Also hello Beth!

[inafadingcrown]

It will be wonderful and hideous and I imagine I will use this icon a lot.

[bloodyantivan]

...Man, it would suck if all of the elves sailed away to the West and actually it was Thedas and for awhile it was all good just doing their immortal elf things and then humans landed and stole their magic and made them mortal again and the end result is... well, this guy.

He'll hit on her. Yup.

[inafadingcrown]

LMFAO. Sudden AU! I approve.

And he won't be the first. XD

[bloodyantivan]

DA borrows enough from Tolkien (like, you know, everything does) that I'm always trying to imagine there's some kind of connection. Plus I just want as many excuses as possible Zevran to have hair-flipping contests with Legolas and apparently use his hitting-on-older-women skills on Galadriel.

[implying]

MY HEART, SWELLING WITH JOY

[bloodyantivan]

i hope


it's not just your heart

[implying]

oh, don't worry ;) it's also my









chin
it does that sometimes (kinda awkward)

[bloodyantivan]

well...


I'm sure we can


...find a way... to work with that...

[selfloyalty]

Good there are far too many humans.

I'M NOT SURE I PROPERLY INTRODUCED MYSELF WHEN YOU JOINED? I'm Sam, I think you can guess who I play, and Zevran is one of my faves so I was really pleased when I saw him reserved. Welcome to the cast!

I'll probably add you on plurk when I go through my next plurk adding round~

[bloodyantivan]

Hi Sam! I'm a big fan of your Anora, I always try to catch up on her threads when I see her around. I'm psyched to join your cast and I'm sure she and Zev will not get along in the least become best friends!

[selfloyalty]

Aw thank you!

And obviously they will be BFFs.

...granted I don't even think she was aware that daddy dearest hired an assassin to try to off the Wardens. She just knows him as that guy she told Erlina to keep an eye on because he's a shifty-looking Antivan elf.

~racism~

[bloodyantivan]

~fantasy racism~

Where you can make a character who blatantly follows stereotypes (seriously, Zevran wouldn't trust himself either) and it's nbd because what are elves are gonna do about it.

(Though he'd point out that... seriously do you think an Orlesian is elf any better? And does your dad have a coronary every time he sees her?)

[selfloyalty]

(she totally picked Erlina to be her handmaiden during one of her rebellious stages where she was all "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO DAD".

or it's one of those 'keep your friends close, your enemies closer' sort of deal.

or she thought Erlina had a nice butt who knows what Anora was thinking.)

[onemoredeath]

Can we have a flirting contest? It would be awesome and scary at the same time!

[bloodyantivan]

Of course, but Zevran pretty much always wins. If only because the other party either takes him up on his offers or leaves in disgust.

[onemoredeath]

Ohoho~

[ofthegrey]

Antiva is a terrible place. It's full of assassins, and...Antivans.

Duncan will be so thrilled. :P

I am genuinely thrilled, because Zevran! You can never have too much leather in a game. Or too many elves. I'm looking forward to seeing how hideously uncomfortable he can make everyone with his flirting and innuendo. I'm Jill, and I've added you on Plurk!

[bloodyantivan]

Excellent yes, come to me Thedosians...

Duncan probably has the most actual experience with Antivans by virtue of his travels. And they can always talk about doin' it from behind being rogues. I'm really interested to see how things turn out for them! Nice to meet you, Jill.

[ofthegrey]

I'm looking forward to it, too. His distaste for assassins aside, I think he'll at the least find Zevran interesting, especially if he ever learns more about his travels with Elissa.

[uncalled_for]

FINALLY MORE DA-ELVES.

These two won't get along but CR has to happen. Haaaaaaaaaas to.

AND can I add you on plurk? :>

[bloodyantivan]

Ohhh. I haven't yet read any of the books, so I'll be really fascinated to interact with Fiona! Please feel free to add me. :D

[uncalled_for]

You should read them. Gaider's a terrible writer but the characters make it worth it. :)

And added!

[noble_nate]

This game definitely needs more hot elves.

[bloodyantivan]

Just admit he's hot, Nathaniel, and this'll all go so much easier.

[noble_nate]

Nathaniel will never, ever admit this...


(He could totally get caught, ok)

[vampirique]

HELLO THIS IS EXCITING c:

[bloodyantivan]

Thank you I'm pretty excited too!

[strategic_guile]

Awww yeah, equal opportunity flirts unite! /brofist

I'm Kage and I play this one here, Blaine Thorps! He's an OC who will gladly flirt with yours.

Watch out for a friending on plurk by JohnnyKage!

[bloodyantivan]

Awesome! I'll look forward to playing with you and chatting on plurk.

[deadelfwalking]

ELVES YES <3

[bloodyantivan]

so zev is obligated to ask if being undead means you have... like... rigor mortis. because he's dealt with old stiff corpses and it seems like if you're moving around after you died...

[deadelfwalking]

koltira is obligated to punch him in the face and ask him what he thinks

[bloodyantivan]

lol roll to dodge

this is a rogue we're talking about, remember

[deadelfwalking]

DK are pretty effective against rogues ... :v /CHAINS YOU IN PLACE.

[bloodyantivan]

chaining me in place?


how delightfully kinky

[deadelfwalking]

well that backfired

[bloodyantivan]

such is life with zevran

You may have cemented my need to bring Balthier into this mfucking game.

Also hi I play this derp who Zev may have heard about once upon a time.
