A lil more from this.
These two are fully their own thing (that is, they weren't inspired by anything specific in DA to translate over to my original story). They're perhaps the most mysterious of the characters. (I'll make a separate post discussing all these characters in more detail later.)
Both of these characters aren't people you'd easily find, but for somewhat different reasons.
The Mirage is, let's say, someone who'll let you find them. Most people don't want anything to do with them. Plenty of scary tales and lots of "hush hush don't say their name(s)" give enough reason for people to hope to never meet them. But for those that do seek them...
The Wanderer is as their name implies: they live a nomadic lifestyle. There's a lot of the world that fascinates them. They've travelled to many places, mostly uninhabited (occasionally uninhabitable...), but since they're always on the move, they're not easy to track down. Sometimes it's as if their tracks disappear...
Here’s some more from this story because it’s still on my mind amidst way too many others. The Herald and the Braider. Again, both initially played in the sandbox of Dragon Age, but later would be taken out to explore in my own story.
The Herald is technically the least developed of my Big Three, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have anything. She’s kind of a chaotic mess (okay, a chaotic mess that’s different from the Heroine & Champion haha) and nobody anticipated her of all people to be the Herald and yet. Haha! Her, let’s say, unorthodox methods and approach to things still manage to unite people under a common banner. She’s also big and strong and towers over many so, you know, people kinda think twice before crossing her. Kinda.
The Braider is probably (or not so probably?) what you would think he’d be. To braid is to take parts and intertwine them; you may see the seams and yet they are simply intricate; in parts flimsy, but made stronger when woven together. He’s witty with a heart of gold and it’s that combo that has him make connections… both friendly and not so friendly. What can I say? I’m a fan of these haha
Recently I have been going through previous art of mine (partially to look for things and partially to sort & pack) and with recent discussions I've had with others regarding the new Dragon Age game, reminded/helped me uncover these OCs that once were played in that sandbox.
While initially they were clearly designed with DA in mind, I would eventually (as is usual for me) take them out of that and put them in my own story. So here I've kinda blended the inspiration of DA, but they're very much in their own world/stories now.
Still, it's been nice to think about them and just do some quick sketching of them again<3 These ladies are perhaps some of my most cool ones even if I still struggle to portray that xD
(If you're wondering, I would also come up with the Inquisitor based OC, but she's the least developed of the three. I never figured out how she plays into the new story beyond being an unforeseen herald and that "they all eventually team up" haha)
