Is it just me or does Zevran remind amyone of Altair from Assassins Creed ?

Time: 1 hour

I tried doing the literal first kiss, but Keiran was being a huge dork about it. So you get this instead. Symbolic first kisses count, right? [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/uncertain.png[/smilie] 55ish minutes all together.


Don't ask me why I wrote poetry. My muse works in strange ways...

---------------

In the streets of Antiva, that's where I found you.
Alone, surrounded by Crows.

You notice me.
Our eyes meet across the crowd.

Your expression barely changes, but recognition and relief is what I see.
Took you long enough to get here, amora.

We need say nothing. Even after all these months apart, we know what the other is thinking.
I got caught up in Amaranthine. I got away as soon as I could.

The Crows finally notice me. They realize Zevran isn't alone.
What they don't realize is that as long as I draw breath he is never truly alone.

The battle begins.
With axe and sword I fight my way to you and we stand back to back.

I feel an arrow pass close to my cheek. Archers.
In a flash, I draw my own bow and the first archer falls from the roof with a strangled cry.

Your blades whirl in a blur, protecting me while I shoot down the archers.
It's so familiar... it's as if we were never parted.

Soon enough... it is over. We are wounded, but alive.
The same cannot be said of the Crows; the street runs red with their blood.

The longing I see in your eyes matches what I feel in my own heart.
Surrounded by death, still holding daggers and bow, we kiss for the first time in months.

It is full of promise.
I missed you.

A promise for a future together.
I missed you too.

A promise to never be parted for so long ever again.
I love you, Zevran.

We pull apart rather quickly. We are too exposed here.
I know.

You grab my hand and pull me towards the nearest alley.
We need to disappear if we want a proper reunion.

I am very fond of this style of poetry/fiction/what have you.  Sometimes its the only way to get stuff out.  I like this very much.

*grin* I made the file for zevran_main.dlg.  Now when you're in camp, you will have a chance at a random kiss, though it doesn't appear to work when out and about (you just get the vanilla kiss -- I think there's an issue with the random command in the toolset but I also think that works out nicely, actually).  It's up at both DANexus and my project page here.  It contains all the fixes I have to Zevran in ZDF (just the zevran_main.dlg things -- not the gates stuff).

I also redid the vanilla elf male kiss.  It was my first fix of a kiss, and I didn't do the greatest job as far as camera angles and hiding things that need to be hidden.  This one is awfully up close and personal, but I like it!  Any suggests, let me know.  My ego is not (very) involved here!

I'll test this ASAP. It took me a while to see just how moving and intense Zevran's romance actually is. The first time I heard that "I am YOURS" I was like.........AWWWWWWWWWWWW :wub::wub:

[ejoslin]

Ohoh, thank you for testing. And yeh, the way he says, "I am yours..." Oh, smoldering!

Now it's time to rework the default dwarf kiss.  Urgent, of course, because I'm paying a dwarf!  Well, once I get to playing again I will be

Time to reply to all these prompts...

@soignee - Ninja kiss'd! Nice picture...you have a way with colours and as has been said a distinct style.

@Corker - This made me snigger lots. I love how you included *all* the companions in the prompt, and you nailed them all. Story Time with Uncle Oghren, rofl!

@payroo - That's one way to shut an annoying shem up. I love the glint in Zev's eyes there...

@Hilde - Poor Alistair XD And poor confused Zevran too, haha! That was a hawt kiss there.

@maradeux - Already read these, but so funny with Ginera but so sad later with Sul. ;_;

@wildannie - Zev stealing a kiss on a drugged Warden. o_O Hope she didn't mind.

@caridounette - I think I liked Yeesha's the best It's curious that Zevran is (I think?) the only companion who goes out of his way to try and cheer his LI up.

@Kornichon - I loooove Zevran's face in the 'dangerous game' panel. <3 (and ewwww at the alternate version!)

@FutileSine - I liked this quite a bit, but I always enjoy takes on Zevran's not-so-innocent past and you did it really well. Nice.

@frostajulie - Poor girl. I liked hearing how the other companions were dealing with her and expecting things from her, and Zev! Just a kiss on the cheek?

@ejoslin - So many kisses! I could watch these quite a few times and still want more... *drool*

@Sarah1281 - Hehe, 'adorable'. I adore Zev's teasing. Poor Alistair (and Wynne >.>)

@Korina1982 - Now that's a reason to go to Antiva. And I loved Zev's Han Solo-esque 'I know' to the 'I love you'.

@Tellervo - I didn't think that was dull at all. In fact, now I have to find the time to read the previous entries, damn it. >.<

@jenovan - Beautiful. A new life awaits.

@Sialater - rofl, sorry. XD I would have liked to read your take!

[Sialater]

Nah... you do humor much better, Shadow. Maybe I'll just shoehorn it into The Rescue when Zev and Moira stop being angsty. (Yeah. Right.)

[Corker]

@Sarah - aw, poor Alistair. Naughty Zevran!

@Korina - *poet fistbump* It's not the size of your wordcount, it's how you... eh, that doesn't really work. Wonderfully economical portrait of a touching scene. With rivers of blood.

@Tellevro - Yay, N&A is back!

@jenovan - In sickness and in health, yes?

[ejoslin]

 More kiss spam!  Vanilla dwarf kiss!

I also have fixed the Zevran Fix with Kisses so that all three kisses will trigger anywhere.  I could change it so that the vanilla one only triggers when out and about, but I kind of like the variety.

[wildannie]

@Korina1982 - I like, I'm just nearing completion of my first awakening playthrough with mods and what a difference it makes having the 'token of affection' (thanks Charsen) and the letter (thanks BW) in place, I'm actually enjoying it this time. When Ainan chases off to Antiva after awakening I 'm sure they'll have a  reunion just like that!

@Shadow - I don't think he ever told her - that'd be a bit embarassing... just another guilty secret for him to carry around...

Modifié par wildannie, 02 octobre 2010 - 03:13 .

[ejoslin]

 Very VERY quiet here @@  Well, I'll use that as an excuse to spam.  I redid two of the elf female kisses -- the vanilla (it can hardly be called that at this point) and the passionate one (now based on the other passionate kisses).

Hmmmm, if I were to make a human male with the passionate kiss...  The big problem is, the human male is MUCH taller than Zevran and I'd have to make them the same height.  Would this be a good thing?  I really don't think so, but heights are constantly changes for kisses anyway :/  Gah, no, I'll figure something else out for a passionate kiss for a human male, unless I get a lot of, "NOOOO!  It would be GREAT!"

Maybe Zevran should stand on a box? ;D

[maradeux]

@Ejoslin - I love the passionate kiss.

[Aisynia]

Hello thar.



I am making a mod right now, and I need a bit of information, as I've only done Zevran's romance all the way through one time.



Towards the end, he wants to give you an earring, and eventually, you can accept it. Strangely, this is not an item listed on the wiki with its own page.



Does he actually give you a plot item, like how Alistair gives you the rose he picked?



If so, can one of you please grab me a screenshot of its icon and description?



Would be appreciated. I recently had to reinstall Dragon Age, so I can't go back and find the file where I romanced him.

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

Aisynia - It's called "Zevran's Earring" in the game, the description is "This is Zevran's gold earring." and it looks exactly the same as this and appears as a plot item like Alistair's Rose.

Hope that helps

Sweet thanks

I'm creating a small mod for Awakening. Basically, it's a collection of keepsakes from your Origins love interests that can be worn as amulets or rings, and have good stats. Playing Awakening, the new love letters are nice, but not good enough IMO (and I'm a Leliana girl personally).

So like, I decided as a personal mod to make some items that had descriptions and names that were like mementos (so a wearable Seeker's Circle or Silver Sword of Mercy with nice stats).

Then I decided to just make it a public mod, since some people might want them. I already have Alistair's and Leliana's planned out (few minutes in the toolset will do it), but I got stuck on Zevran.

With Alistair and Leliana, it was easy to convert their specific items (Seeker's Circle, Runic Worry Token) and some of their gifts into wearable items, but Zevran has be stumped.

I'm actually open to ideas I can create basically anything as long as an icon exists in the database that canb roughly pass as it.

I need 4 rings now.

Two of them can be unrelated, but I need two of them to make a set that go together (like Silver and Gold or Fire and Ice, that sort of thing, opposites).

EDIT: they don't HAVE to be rings, just go in the ring slot. One of Leliana's ring items is Pressed Andraste's Grace, basically  apressed flower worn inside a glove or something. So, something that goes on the hand or arm is fine as well. I considered his Dalish Gloves, but I just don't know hwo to make that work with what I'm going for.

I'm drawing a blank on him because I don't know him well enough. Since you guys know Zevran better than I do, I would like suggestions on them. I don't need descriptions, just a rough idea, and I can fill in the blanks.

Any help appreciated.

I am going to use the earring as a neck item (it's on a pendant or being worn, either way), and I am going to give Mixed Metal Rounds a new icon and put it on a pendant.

Zevran is easy, though, but already done -- Charsen made a mod, ZevRing, that makes the earring he gives into an equippable ring, and it does carry through to Awakening.

Edit: I know, not helpful at all.  I haven't had my coffee yet.

I understand that, just saying that no one has objected to his earring being made into a ring.

Edit: *grin* after all, you said ANY help, no matter how small

Modifié par ejoslin, 03 octobre 2010 - 12:50 .

[ejoslin]

Ok, so I've been thinking. Using Zevran's earring would be like using Alistair's rose or Morrigan's ring (though that stays as a tangible gift). You have the additional problem that most Zevran fans who use mods most likely already use ZevRing; therefore, it would be weird having two of his earrings for different slots.

As for what would be good -- you have the Dalish Gloves, Antivan boots, Mixed Metal Rounds belt, even a crow dagger on a chain may be nice.

Edit: Need more coffee.

Since two of the "ring" slots are supposed to act as a set (and have a set bonus), I'm considering using a left and right glove and saying that they are slim and soft and are worn beneath the character's current gloves, RP-wise. I'm not sure if it works, so looking for an opinion on that one.



also, there will be two neck options, so if someone prefers the ZevRing mod over mine, they can wear the Mixed Metal rounds around their neck instead, as I'm not doing any replacing.

[caridounette]

how about something done with those silver and gold bars that are supposed to be Zev specific gifts? He could haave had something made from one of them for the Warden.



Mixed metal rounds is a belt, but maybe one of the metal thingies could be taken off and put on a chain if you want to make it into a neckpiece.



Hope that helps

Prompt: First Kiss
This one is wide open, guys   Only rule is that it has to involve Zevran somehow.  Interpret as you will!

Time: 1 hour

Can't remember when this is supposed to close today, so if this is too late it can be a non-entry.  59 minutes with edits.

The Kiss


Zevran lounged against the railing, looking down at the sparring session in the courtyard below.   Tarzi, house Arainai’s Weapon Master was putting the newest addition to his cell through her paces. The dark-haired woman had been part of a House Arainai cell in one of the southern cities of Antiva. The rest of her cell had been slaughtered when their attempt on a minor noble had turned sour. The noble had apparently been warned of their plans and even Rinna had barely escaped with her life. It had been several weeks since she had been reassigned to Taliesen’s cell; her broken ribs and badly sprained ankle had kept her out of the practice yard until today. 

Her movements were smooth and graceful, scarcely reminiscent of the shy, awkward child he remembered from the apprentice barracks. She jumped and spun with almost no hint of the pain from her barely healed injuries, she reminded Zevran of the sleek black hunting cats that stalked through the coastland forests in predatory silence. There, Tarzi had tapped her, a thin line of blood streaking her wrist in payment for a careless overextension.    A wry grin twisted the blood elf’s lips as he remembered many a similar correction from the Weapon Master. Once a Crow passed the apprentice stage they did not practice with blunted weapons, and a sparring session with Tarzi always resulted in blood and bruises. 

The grey-haired Weapon Master drew the woman into the same set of maneuvers again, this time she pivoted and jumped instead of overextending; she was a quick study. Zevran decided she was worth watching, if merely for the aesthetics of her movements.

                                                ******************************************

Two months later, a steamy summer night found their cell guarding an Orlesian diplomat’s house. He had hired Crow protection to avert an attempt to remove him from The Game. A light drizzle did little to cool the silent watchers in the sweltering heat. Zevran was keenly aware of Rinna crouched in the shadows to his right, her presence a still spot in the restless breeze and light rain. His fascination with the newest member of his cell had continued; her sharp wit as attractive as her skills in weapons and stealth. 

There, across the courtyard, a shadow slipping over the wall. Zevran kept his breathing even, if their information was correct this was only the vanguard. Their contract was to eliminate the bard and all of his companions. The shadow stole across to a tiny servant’s gate and, within moments, had the lock opened and was ushering in more stealthy figures. He glanced over to Taliesen’s position across the courtyard, careful to move only his eyes. The deeper shadows beneath a stand of magnolia trees concealed the rest of their force; Taliesen’s group would take care of the main force, Zevran’s job was to secure the gate and prevent their quarry from escaping. He and Rinna would also locate any enemy scouts left outside the walls and remove them. He frowned a little at that thought, their role tonight was similar to Rinna’s mission in the strike that had resulted in the deaths of all of her cohorts. With a mental shrug he returned his attention to the task at hand. Now all the opposition was inside; it was time to move. 

They slunk from shadow to shadow, concealed in the darkness and rain. Zevran left Rinna to guard the gate while he slipped outside to look for enemy reinforcements. One on the roof across the plaza, and three, concealed by the flapping curtain of the fruit stand; he signaled Rinna to take the roof as he started the process of approaching the group at ground level. They needed to be quick, to be back in position to stop anyone trying to escape from Taliesen’s ambush. 

Zevran’s tiny crossbow twanged as he took the first lookout in the eye from scarcely ten yards away. His shot would alert the other two, but it evened the odds considerably. Trusting Rinna to secure the archer on the roof, he moved across the plaza, burying a dagger in on man’s neck while they were still trying to support his first target. Some quick dagger work and the third man was down – quick and neat. Zevran was scarcely breathing hard when Rinna rejoined him, her own target down. Taliesen’s group scarcely took longer and in the space of less than fifteen minutes they were done with the task and headed back to the House.

Zevran trailed his comrades, his heart still racing with the exhilaration of the chase, the shear predatory joy of matching wit, skill and speed against an opponent. Rinna dropped back with him, stopped for a moment to gaze at the moon as it crept from behind a cloud. Her eyes gleamed like justice and Zevran found his hand on her jaw, his lips seeking hers; a kiss of shared victory, a kiss of kindred spirit, a kiss because she appealed to him as no other woman had.

Its effect was electric, he felt the surge in his blood, the breathless gasp she made in shared experience. It was their first kiss, but it wouldn’t be their last.


edited for formating, one more quick edit to put the "r" back in contract so it makes sense - so I guess I might be a little over time now.

That's what I've been thinking about too, so we're on the same page. He loves treasure, so really extra shiny rings and such would fit well.
