+1 alchoholic mage

[rebelarchivist]

Hi there, Corbin's player Ferus here, with a mage that is Really Tired of This Shit. Dorian Pavus from that game with dragons and political intrigue, but everyone really plays it to bang the Qunari. Or the bald elf. Or that one blonde dork that finally figured out what hair product is.

Anyway! This Dorian is sliiiightly different from canon Dorian. He's already been in two different games (Midnight Syndicate and Arda Marred) and so he's super Tired Of This Shit. He also really wants a drink. The first person to point him to the bar will have a new best friend. A very drunk best friend.

I'm really happy to bring him to the murdercaves. He's going to hate it. It's going to be great.

Edit: Oh! I should probably link you guys to this which is his CRAU info post, which details what sort of shit he's been through and how he's different from canon!Dorian.

Henry here was quite fond of our last Dorian, so please excuse the initial confusion 8'D awkwaaaard but once he realises his mistake, he'll be quick to try and treat him like his own person.

We're not acquainted yet, so hi! I'm Von, and I play Henry "Hotspur" Percy from the game Bladestorm Nightmare. He's one of the Guard, and otherwise a temperamental 14c knight. Sharp wit and an appreciation for fine wine are A+ in his books.

[rebelarchivist]

Quite alright, he knows these things happen. He can tell him all about the last place he was, where there were two Dorians running around at the same time! But he'll be glad to hear all about the previous Dorian, and he's sure that Henry can make up the mistaken identity thing to him somehow. ;)

[hotspurred]

Perfect ♥

I'm at himewakako if you ever want to plot! I'll definitely be tagging his intro :D

[rebelarchivist]

Friend request sent! I'm looking forward to it, this should be fun.

[hotspurred]

Henry's also one of the founding members of the city guard, so he'll likely try his luck getting Dorian to join. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

[rebelarchivist]

Dorian is all for letting Henry talk to him and try to convince him. But he's not really the City Guard sort. But he's welcome to try!

[hotspurred]

It's all good. B) It will at least get him to mention that the previous Dorian was researching the library for some months, just in case any of that survived!

[rebelarchivist]

Excellent, Dorian will be more than happy to go through his old self's notes, or make new ones.

[hotspurred]

Feel free to have him find Tristan & Iseult (+ note) in the process, if you like.

[meatbrained]

everyone in the murdercave needs a drink so he'll fit right in, obviously.

[rebelarchivist]

He hasn't had a drink in more than a month now. He has a powerful and driving need.

[meatbrained]

oh good god that is tragic here let us take you to the bar.

[rebelarchivist]

And then before that there was homemade mead (not bad) and something that they called "gin" in that it would get you drunk and had a vaguely pine-esque sort of flavor to it before stripping your tongue of all tastebuds forever (absolutely terrible.)

He just wants a bottle of decent-ish wine. Why is that so much to ask?

[meatbrained]

D: D: D:

also because no one has ever rped a character to let said character be happy tbh. we must torture.

[rebelarchivist]

Dorian has had the hardest life.

[meatbrained]

poor baby.

at least his stashe is fabulous.

[rebelarchivist]

The stache, alas, has also been without upkeep this last month, so it is considerably less fabulous.

Actually, he might go for a shower and shave before he hits the bar.

[sedula]

YES GOOD, come to the bar, let nick help you with that

[rebelarchivist]

He will be more than happy to let nick help him

[survivethis]

Hello again! I enjoyed our thread on the TDM. Maybe we can bring that into the game or get some other CR!

[rebelarchivist]

Considering it was very TDM specific, it might be easier to have them smack into each other again? Idk, I'm fine with either if you think it would be too awkward.

[survivethis]

It might work; since she was just hanging around and he was just walking by with the dog. But we can redo it if you want. I'm good either way.

[rebelarchivist]

That's true... hm, might as well just keep it then, less chance of going over old ground.

[survivethis]

Alrighty!

hello!! i have (an) inquisitor trevelyan here, and i think your dorian will bring in the... third or fourth different inquisitor world state to the game, so that'll be fun.

cecily will be crushed when he doesn't remember her since they were wine and book buddies, but she's happy he's back nonetheless. c:

[rebelarchivist]

Dorian will want to ask her all the questions, and even if he doesn't know her he is generally all for being wine and book buddies, especially with Inquisitors. She'll also be the first human Quis that he's actually met, all the other ones have been elves and Qunari.

[closerift]

WINE AND BOOK CLUB CONTINUES thank goodness because they all need that in this place tbh

that's awesome!! leliana and cole have (separate) lavellans and she keeps losing people who remember her so it's. mildly traumatizing. but she's happy to earn his friendship again!

[rebelarchivist]

Wine and bitching about books are Dorian's two favorite past times. That he can enjoy with women. And it is definitely needed here.

So is she post-Trespasser or does she still have the Mark?

[closerift]

she's mid-trespasser and therefore still has the mark. she knows that it's killing her, but they were able to nullify it a bit in hadriel so it isn't agonizing. sometimes it gets a little out of control, though.

at least she still has two hands, right??
