Introduction posts are not required but they are a great way to meet other players and know what new faces will be in the game setting.

What's up buddies it's me Laura (I play Palamedes [personal profile] megatheorem) here with a new lad for you to enjoy!! Here is Carver Hawke from ye olde Dragon Age 2, ready and (not-so-)willing to bond and have fun and make friends.

For those unfamiliar with DA2: Carver is a professional younger brother, who sometimes has a complex but less now than he used to. This particular Carver is a Grey Warden and has a lot of feelings about Saving the World, which is important to him in a gritty realism way. He's soft in the middle and it's very embarrassing, so he grumbles a lot and does not want to be Perceived. It's so hard to be Carver. He likes tough people and cute people and people who will banter with him, bonus for 3-in-1.

For the DA2 Grit fans: He's coming from a run with a mostly blue Marian who did not romance anybody and managed to soften baby brother with Friendship, just a little. He's also got both DA2 DLCs under his belt and, again: Warden.

CR hooks for you:
-he's a war veteran
-he had a horrible near death experience and now he is Something Else, more or less
-fambly
-does still have lingering moments of jealousy complex about the fambly
-big sword?? big sword
-world saving as a career?? yes
-do you enjoy big frowny guys with a tender middle? have I got a treat for you...
-he does best with people who have a little edge, because that's how Dragon Age does things, but he can tough big brother (tm) your sweetheart types

in sum:



feel free to hit me up on plurk at [plurk.com profile] jojoveller or discord at laura#8074 !!!

Did someone say... protagonist?

Please exchange world-saving stories with Nara'a, he will appreciate someone who Understands.


APPARENTLY I HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD BUT STILL TALK TO HIM he understands family issues too.

you have no idea how ic it is for carver to be mistaken for cool older sibling tbh

grips hands in this chili's tonight yes, tell him all the family issues, one day he might even open up without grumbling about it

He's very okay with being seen as 'extra' because that's what he's used to (Keepers of the Moon miqo'te are just Like That with their men) but he did get teased for being a nerd. A lot.

If all else fails he can also just randomly see a flashback because that's how his powers roll.

THAT'S.... WACK omg i know nothing about ffxiv. what even happens in this game. carver is the non-mage sibling in a family of mages in a world where being a mage is super dangerous and you can be arrested on sight for it, so you might say he has a complex that is both "i'm not special" but also "oh my god my family could be arrested at any time holy shit no"

so it's a lot

ye ye flashbacks are def an option... we shall see how it shakes out!!

All the subspecies of player characters have lore, it's a little wild. (I love it.)

Nara'a is the opposite - a mage in a family of hunters who ended up stumbling into forbidden magics that could get him arrested. He's the savior of the world many times over but he's also like "I just... did what anyone else would do???"

\o/ Sounds fun to me!

i literally have never heard this before... ffxiv: origins. amazing.

carver definitely did not volunteer for a career in world saving and he has some Thoughts about it, they can get into the grit of that too... rubs my hands together. please teach him to do spells properly also bc he's going to realize blood magic is a thing now and a) panic and b) suck at it.

[personal profile] aetherweaver 2022-07-03 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
He kind of got pushed into doing it himself. He just wanted to get into books...

But he can try to teach Carver spells, if he wants! Babby's first fire spell. Don't burn your eyebrows off like he did. And Nara'a needs to get into blood magic himself.

"want" is a very strong word, carver doesn't want to do magic at all, his complex is too hyuge... but "need" on the other hand, yes, or he will definitely burn his eyebrows off

Pyrrha and Carver have lots of interesting overlap, and I think she'd prod the frowny face a bit. She wouldn't call herself cute, but she's tough and will banter.

There's also fun heralds vs darkspawn overlap.

(and so much love for Carver, I wrote Hawke aaaaaaaages ago)

"fun" heralds vs darkspawn, love 2 go insane because of Creatures for sure

he's (not) ready to be prodded at, please be gentle, the chip on his shoulder is very sharp

[personal profile] martyrofduty 2022-07-03 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, she's actually immune on that front with heralds. Upside of not having magic for her. But yes, uh, sometimes it's some insanity. Seems likely to continue here. *small woo*

Mmmm, yes, I love after all she's done, people under 30 being irreverent etc as ever is still a thing. A joy!

[personal profile] bigfinish 2022-07-03 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
well at least there aren't any darkspawn around Yet. knock on wood. small victories for everyone

carver has a license to be sour actually it's on his warden id

[personal profile] martyrofduty 2022-07-04 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
No darkspawn. No grimm. No heralds besides you know... John's mess. Things people don't know to appreciate until they're gone.

Ahahaha. Pyrrha has the right to be sarcastic. It's on her death certificate.

presenting faith as a monster slayer with swords, guns, crossbows, daggers, axes - who was given a role to save the world that meant she'd probably die in her late teens to early twenties but she's chill with it. also jealousy but hers is more violent.

they have a very similar way of caring about Their People so i think they could probably vibe.

that's too many weapons, you only need one big sword tm

but yes they could vibe indeed
