This turned out a bit longer than I thought - who would have guessed 🤠 - so I'm putting it under the cut -

Miriam: Hello, my name is Failure, and you're watching my life crumble into pieces.

Miriam: *waves her finger and sings like she's in a Disney Channel intro*

^ This is a proper DA2 intro

Marcel: You are, of course, wondering why it is I have brought you here tonight.

Alistair: Actually, Marcel, after all these years, I just sort of go with it.

Marcel: Let’s write Alistair a friendly note, shall we? Dear... Incompetent... Dumbass...

Monica (Marcel's wife): How petty can you get?

Marcel: I once edited a Wikipedia article to win an argument I was wrong about.

He totally did, Alistair can confirm it.

Monica: I fell—

Marcel: From heaven?

Monica: No, I literally fell—

Marcel: In love with me the moment you saw me?

Monica: MY ARM IS BROKEN!

Marcel: Okay, but do you think I'm pretty? Be honest.

Marcel: Okay. I get it. You've had a really hard time lately, you're stressed out, seven people died-

Alistair: Twelve, actually.

Marcel: Not the point. Look, they're dead now and really whose fault is that?

Cillian: Yours!

Marcel: That's right! No one's.

Cillian: What the fuck is wrong with you?!

Marcel: Wow, you could start with a 'good morning'.

Cillian: Good morning. What the fuck is wrong with you?!

Wynne: *sighs* Are you having another depressive episode?

Cillian: A depressive episode?

Cillian: I'm having a depressive series and we're just on season one.

Cillian: I'm naturally funny because my life is a joke.

Miriam: So what’s for dinner?

Cillian, staring at the food he just burnt: Regret.

Cillian: You disgust me.

Seva: *eating a kitkat sideways* I realize this and I no longer care.

Seva: I made tea.

Cillian: I don’t want tea.

Seva: Well, I did not make tea for you. This is my tea.

Cillian: Then why are you telling me?

Seva: It is a conversation starter.

Cillian: That’s a lousy conversation starter.

Seva: Oh, is it? We are conversing. Checkmate.

Seva: If you were to vacuum up jello through a metal tube, well I think that’d be a neat noise

Cillian: I beg to differ

Seva: Then Beg

Cillian: Damn, the power went out.

Seva: Don’t worry, I got this.

Seva: *stomps foot*

Cillian: What-?

Seva: *Sketchers light up*

Seva: I desire moisture.

Cillian: Please just say "I want water" like a normal person.

Seva, handing a balloon to Asin: I have no soul. Have a good day!

Asin, walking off: I don't have one either.

Seva: Change is inedible.

Velanna: Don't you mean inevitable?

Seva, spitting out coins: No, I did not.

#dragon age #incorrect quotes #the one with Seva handing a balloon to Asin is 100% canon this is totally how they became friends #also cillian really does have regret for dinner #and breakfast and lunch #and sorrow is his favourite snack #i can't stop thinking of seva wearing sketchers in the deep roads #the darkspawn would be too scared to approach him #oc:miriam #oc:marcel #oc:cillian #oc:seva #oc:asin #oc:monica

R. Respect: What qualities does your OC admire in other people?

V. Value: Is your OC more selfish or selfless? What would they sacrifice for a loved one? What would they sacrifice for a stranger?

Y. Young: How has your OC been influenced by their past? Are they a better person because of their past, or a worse one?

For Cillian, Seva and Marcel?

Thanks so much for the ask!!! It turned out a bit long so I'll put the answers under the cut. Also, just a heads up that I mention some mental health and family issues in the answer to the Y question for Cillian!

Cillian

R. Respect: What qualities does your OC admire in other people?

✨ Miriam Hawke ✨ He admires Miriam, she's the only person he actually gets along with and he has no idea why. Maybe it's the fact that he's created his own idealized version of her (they used to exchange letters for years but didn't have a chance to actually spend some time together until their reunion in Kirkwall) or the fact that she's the exact opposite of him. I mean, she doesn't care about anyone's opinions, she doesn't really care about anything to be honest, he wishes he could do that. It might also be the fact that she's the only person who doesn't make him feel worthless. Anyways, he can't really tell what qualities he admires in people, sometimes he just meets someone and thinks ''wow''. It's usually people who are older/smarter/more experienced than him though.

V. Value: Is your OC more selfish or selfless? What would they sacrifice for a loved one? What would they sacrifice for a stranger?

Oh, he'd like to say he's selfish but I have to disagree, I'd say he's somewhere in-between. What would he sacrifice for a loved one? Absolutely everything. And for a stranger? Well, he did save this one annoying elf's life even though he was wounded and had no idea where to go. He also gave him his food, he probably regretted it later but Seva has that effect on people.

Y. Young: How has your OC been influenced by their past? Are they a better person because of their past, or a worse one?

Cillian's always been a very shy person, he never had any friends and his relationship with his mother was complicated, to say the least - she was generally a really toxic person. His father died when he was six, that's when his mother fell into depression which made things even worse. He loved her but he also hated her for hurting him and making him feel like he wasn't worthy of her love - he was an only child and therefore an heir to his family so that didn’t make it easier. I'd say this was when Cill first started to think that he needed to earn people's affection and it's gotten to the point where he became obsessed. He was taken to the Circle at the age of 9, he felt extremely lonely, he missed his mother and was terrified with the idea of dissapointing her. He started seeing one of the teachers as a mother figure, he unwittingly chose a person who wasn't satisfied with any of his achievements - while another rejection was painful, it was the sort of pain so familiar that it almost felt comforting. Long story short, these and other similar experiences led to the development of Cillian's toxic relationship patterns. He doesn't get attached to people easily but once he does, he gets extremely jealous and fixated on them, he always feels like he isn't enough and takes rejection very personally. He also deals with lots of intense, often conflicting emotions that he has no idea how to process - he was taught that showing them was a weakness. I can't tell if his past made him into a better or a worse person, despite all his problems he's a really sensitive person who wants to make the world at least a slightly better place, he just needs someone to pay for his therapy first 🙃

Seva

R. Respect: What qualities does your OC admire in other people?

I'd say kindness. He doesn't judge people by their cover, he really doesn't care if they're smart, shy, talented or anything else as long as they're kind. He's like a labrador puppy who'll gladly follow you around if he considers you a good person.

V. Value: Is your OC more selfish or selfless? What would they sacrifice for a loved one? What would they sacrifice for a stranger?

Definitely selfless, he's the kind of person who loves making others smile and tries to see the best in people, at least most of the time. The Blight changed his attitude a lot but he's not a Cillian level pessimist yet. He'd sacrifice whatever it takes for his people and loved ones. As for strangers - it depends, he found an orphaned Qunari girl and took her in - he basically adopted Asin, she's his child now and I don't make the rules. He's not very fond of humans though so I'd say they are the only exception. He probably wouldn't help a human in need, aside from Cillian and Wynne of course.

Y. Young: How has your OC been influenced by their past? Are they a better person because of their past, or a worse one?

It's safe to say that his childhood and teenage years were the best time of his life. He was happy, always surrounded by friends and family - this might have contributed to the fact that he was never properly taught to deal with loneliness. He struggles a lot with that, he's also not used to silence, it makes him feel extremely uncomfortable. I'd say he grew up a bit sheltered, he had no idea what the world outside of his clan looked like and wasn't ready to face the harsh reality. Still, these are very minor things, the event that affected him the most was definitely watching the members of his clan being slaughtered and pretty much everything that happened later (the battle of Ostagar and the Blight). He became very withdrawn. He was never a vengeful person, he used to believe everyone deserved to live, he even promised to never pick up a sword but those events changed his attitude completely. He no longer believes in justice unless he's the one who serves it - he makes sure it's painful.

Marcel

R. Respect: What qualities does your OC admire in other people?

Answered here

V. Value: Is your OC more selfish or selfless? What would they sacrifice for a loved one? What would they sacrifice for a stranger?

Selfish or maybe extremely pragmatic. He actually feels bad about it, sometimes. There are moments when he tries to convince himself that he's doing things out of good will but there's something like a quiet voice in the back of his head calculating what will he gain from it and he just can't get rid of that voice. He would sacrifice a lot for his loved ones but he probably wouldn't give his life for them. Well, the older Marcel would but the older Marcel knows that he's going to die soon anyway and, to be honest, he can't wait for it so I don't think you can call that a sacrifice. And for a stranger? Not much but, once again, it depends on what would he get in return.

Y. Young: How has your OC been influenced by their past? Are they a better person because of their past, or a worse one?

Marcel's spent most of his childhood running away from the Templars. His mother, Revka, wasn't really used to the harsh conditions they both found themselves in so he was forced to grow up fast and depend mostly on himself, being locked up in the Circle certainly didn't help. All of these experiences shaped him into a rather private person - don't get me wrong, he loves attention, he loves being praised, he's very charismatic and loves talking to people, just not about himself. He has some serious trust issues, he struggles to maintain relationships, he can't express affection and the thought of showing his vulnerability to anyone terrifies him. Of course he hides all those things behind a mask of sarcasm. I should also mention that Morrigan's betrayal affected him deeply. She was his first love, the only person he's ever been this vulnerable with and she broke his heart and made a fool out of him. After that he became really cold and reserved in his relationships, he'd promised himself that he'd never allow it to happen again. He started hurting the ones he loved on purpose, this sort of made him feel like he had an upper hand. He actually did the same thing Morrigan did to him, he left his daughter and pregnant wife without a word and never saw them again.
