DOMINANT HAND.         left, learned to be ambidextrous b/c he used to have too much time on his hands (ha). POSTURE.         varies depending on situation and comfort-level. if he is in a position where he has to be taken seriously he will be straight-backed, arms often tucked behind him. in more comfortable situations he is more likely to slouch or talk with his hands. SCARS.         indented scar above brow, scars magic and mundane on his hands/fingers, web-like lightning scar on his chest. TATTOOS.         n/a. BIRTHMARKS.         do cleft chins count. MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE(S).       his bald head and elf ears are what draw the most notice. pre-veil, perception of him would vary depending upon how someone thought of him, ranging from someone who exuded wisdom or safety to the incarnation of dread (sometimes robbing him of a elf-shape in favor of a demonic wolf).

PLACE OF BIRTH.         unnamed village, since destroyed. located in the northern free marches along what is now the silent plains (although the geography was different in his time). HOMETOWN.         unnamed, adopted arlathan (though he was full-grown by the time it existed). BIRTH WEIGHT.          BIRTH HEIGHT.           MANNER OF BIRTH.         solas may or may not have been spirited into existence. experts are divided. FIRST WORDS.         “see.” SIBLINGS.         n/a. PARENTS.         don’t make me name his mother. i’ve come this far w/o doing it. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT.         solas was raised in a small village with little to interest him. most of the lessons passed down by his parent were practical skills, his more esoteric interests discouraged until he found a community outside via people (wisdom, joy, etc) who had more interest in his love of learning things without any apparent use. she did make pottery, however, the first creative skill solas learned before he took to painting. he left his home shortly after he was able to pursue a life more in line with his interests and they never met again.

OCCUPATION.         guardian of mythal, general, evanuris, rebel leader, homeless apostate, and finally a member of the inquisition. CURRENT RESIDENCE.          haven / skyhold (inquisition). CLOSE FRIENDS.         wisdom (deceased), joy, miraen, ian lavellan, thora cadash, cadri cadash, cole, mythal (deceased?). varies depending on canon interpretations, occasionally he develops a good friendship with iron bull, for example, but it’s not guaranteed. RELATIONSHIP STATUS.          partner to ian lavellan. the exact nature varies on verse. FINANCIAL STATUS.         undetermined. among the inquisition he is taken care of, but he takes payment in the accruement of books. DRIVER’S LICENSE.        yes (modern verse, though he doesn’t drive if he can help it).

SEXUAL ORIENTATION.         asexual. ROMANTIC ORIENTATION.         panromantic. PREFERRED EMOTIONAL ROLE.       submissive |  dominant |  switch. PREFERRED SEXUAL ROLE.       submissive  |  dominant  |  switch. LIBIDO.         low to moderately low. TURN ON’S.         empathy. intelligence. creativity. willingness to engage in long conversations. TURN OFF’S.        conformity. cruelty. innocence, which shouldn’t be confused with optimism. LOVE LANGUAGE.    applies to platonic/romantic relationships. i mentioned solas tends to hold himself upright when he wants people to take him seriously. note: this body language during the veilfire chat after haven’s destruction versus scenes accessible to warm-approval inquisitors. if he likes/trusts someone he’s more likely to relax his body language, not needing to fear being brushed aside for expressing his emotions. also while he has a reputation for being solitary, his preferred state of being is not to be alone. people he has any affection for he will seek out. RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES.       he has a history of being in a strange relationship to himself and his body which means he has a rather short list of relationships despite his absurdly long life. as an evanuris solas avoided all romantic feelings to the point where he wondered if he was aromantic as well as asexual, and as fen’harel he didn’t feel it appropriate to act on any feelings he developed, feeling it was still inappropriate. the relationships he had prior to becoming evanuris tended to be emotionally intense rather than physically, with the exception of one in which he wasn’t altogether happy. with ian, the former was the case until after he learned the truth about solas’s past, it was only afterwards that the physical aspect of their relationship became more intimate.

CHARACTER’S THEME SONG.         hallelujah. HOBBIES TO PASS TIME.         painting, reading, dreaming/fade walking. MENTAL ILLNESSES.  traumatic stress disorder, depression, derealization/depersonalization. PHYSICAL ILLNESSES.         none. some physical weariness from his age that only set in after the veil, namely joint soreness. LEFT OR RIGHT BRAINED.         right brained. FEARS.      failure. dying alone. complacency/complicity. SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL.         either too high or too low. there is no in-between. VULNERABILITIES.        as an apostate secrecy or his use are the only things keeping him safe, especially in an inquisition where he is unfriendly with the inquisitor. he awakes with more talent than the average mage, perhaps, but without the power he is used to. also despite posturing as logical, he’s more emotional than he lets on.
