I totally called the lyrium tatts thing in the MEG thread. Booyah. ;)

The fact that I have Tevinter magister slaves with glowy lyrium runes who serve as living weapons in a DA fanfiction of mine also entertains me. In a good way. :)

(So is Gaider a closet fanfic reader or am I just tapping into the hivemind of Bioware? o_O)

Anomen.

Oh, that's right. I just remembered Valen Shadowbreath wasn't sarcastic either.

So from the sword it looks like he's a warrior but is he just a warrior or does he have some sort of magic as well.

If he's a tanking warrior, I'll pick him over Ave. For the squee!

... I wonder if those lyrium marks are all over his body.

He must be a warrior. That sword is too big for a rogue.


Do my eyes betray me or is this a shield in the other hand?

That's what I thought as well. There's just enough of his lower arm cut off to fit a targe or similarly sized small shield. Bah, this is going to be a long three months...


Nah it is pretty clear what he is. It is not a dagger, it is a sword. And it is not a 2-handed sword either. So 99% sword and shield warrior. David confirmed he is no mage either.

Stoked that others noticed the "Fenris the Feared" reference so quickly. Joe Abercrombie rocks.


Not long till his next book comes out too.

My problem is that Bioware practically comes forward and says "we're ripping these characters off" nearly all gaider's characters seem to be inspired from buffy in some way, Ave was inspired by Breinne and now Fenris seems like a direct rip off from Joe's character.

Taking inspiration from stuff is cool, but originality is better.

The second person that posted in the thread could edit their post and add all the fanart and link and speculation. It may not be on the first post, but the second post isn't that bad.


mmm... that would be me... but i seriously have no idea how to do that... :blush:

He was on occasion. However, no more than any normal person would be if the situation called for it.

I don't wanna sink your ships but...David Gaider said that he never reads fanfics because he feels like someone is sleeping with his wife (meaning the characters are too dear to him) :P

Heh. The shotgun approach would mean that at least one of the guesses would have to be correct, yes. Posted Image


Yeah, shotgun is for people with bad aim, or bad eyes whatsoever.

In that case, I think it's Bioware that aren't my biggest fans. My own little personal updates disappear from the "What's new" list after a few minutes while everyone on my friends list gets to stay up there. Oh well.


Poor thing. *huggles*


Yep, a major tragedy. This month has been full of them, so I'm trying not to become as cold as the December winds.
 Oops, might be a bit too late there.

Ok, not as cold as the antartic tundra! Hold on, I'm getting a message. Ok, we have just confirmed that I have already passed that point.

Our sources now indicate , AS OF NOW, I am not as or more cold than Liquid Nitrogen.

The way he was holding that sword in the second screenshot makes me think 2h warrior.

Yeah, but I don't think Tevinter Magister slaves and Crow Assassin transition well with one another. I would imagine being a Tevinter slave is far worse than being sold to the Crows. Weren't the Crows somewhat revered in Antiva? I doubt Fenris's past comes close to Zev's, so I'm thinking his personality is going to be somewhat the opposite of Zev's flamboyant nature. Serious... somewhat bitter... stoic? Maybe has a dry sarcastic sense of humor? I just hope he isn't like Velanna with her "YOU SHEMSSSS GRRRRRR HATEEEE"-issues.

edit- fast thread is fast...


I'm betting he has more issues with mages instead of humans this time.
At least Bethany will have a hard time stealing him if he's a LI Posted Image

Yes, I know he's said this :) The fact his character has a similar backstory as one of my OCs, down to the lyrium tattoos and Tevinter magister slave deal, is just too sweet to ignore though. :) I can't help squeeing!

Not from the 1st2nd screenie. Looks pretty much like sword and shield move. Cuts him with the sword and hold shield at the side. David is just trying to confuse us. Trust me, he loves to do that.

D: We're being toyed with guize.

Does this mean he's a dual-wielding rogue or 2handed warrior? And no mathematician's answers!

I like the two-handed warrior idea for Meg. I bet Varric will call him "Scissors" as a nickname. To annoy him, maybe.
