[Solas]

someone told me solas's tight pants reminded them of this song  lmfaooo

[RynJ]

Wouldn't it be great if we could have nap time with Solas?   I can just picture him laying down and sleeping like he always does and when he wakes up, my Inquisitor is suddenly sleeping right next to him because hey, why not? He looks cozy.

*tackles cake* 

 

 

There was a piece of art that I can't find now where the Inquisitor was sitting on Solas' shoulders begging him to cut off her hand. And Solas is just: "Stop that."

 

*lowers cage* Mwahahaha! The cake was a lie!

 

And I think you can find that fanart in the OP or in the few posts immediately following it. I think I remember seeing that one there.

I'm really curious about Varric and Bianca's relationship. It obviously has had an lasting effect on him, and I want to know more about it. I don't know how a possibly romance plot with the Inquisitor could work with that.
 
On another note, should I put this in the Romances thread? I mean, it's information if old information. But a year in game development time isn't so long.

Solas: So Bianca is named for the only woman you ever loved?

Varric: How the? What, you read my journal or something?

Cole: No, I'm the one that does that. I like the Hard In Hightown drafts.

Varric: Well what do you know? The kid's got good taste. But seriously Sleepy, how do you know about Bianca?

Solas: Because your crossbow is enchanted. Lyrium might channel magic but it can also hold on to trace emotions and memories. You might not dream but that weapon throws out enough noise to seriously affect my abilities.

INTP sitting here, so seems Solas does seem to attract the introverts!

ENTP here. I'm the loud obnoxious one.

 

Also guys...I wanna know your thoughts. Is it just me that is getting a bit irked by comments on how Solas can't be an LI because of his personality? People seem to be implying that introverts or more reserved and independent people's personality "can't work" for romances and it's irking me a tad bit. Especially as an introvert myself.

He has a 50/50 chance of becoming an LI, but I'm willing to bet all of my money that it isn't because of his personality.

 

I have many introverted tendencies, due to a pretty sheltered childhood and to be honest introverts can do the whole romance thing better in my eyes. Us extroverts thrive on attention and being listened to, introverts - generally speaking - love to listen. The stereotypical romantic is an introvert who puts a lot of thought into romantic gestures.

 

I'd say Fenris, Morrigan and Merrill are introverts so I don't see how Solas being an introvert hinders his chances of being an LI. In fact it helps his chances, taken from David Gaider's Tumblr: " My preference is that the romances cover a range of styles and sexualities as evenly as we can, and that they have comparable levels of content, and leave it at that. " Link under the cut. 

Let's do a head count. Extroverted LIs, Sera, Iron Bull, Cullen. Introverted LIs, Cassandra(she could be an extrovert though so) and Josephine.

The above is not always true. Extroverts can be introverted sometimes, and introverts can be extroverted sometimes. If someone was completely introverted they'd be an insane hermit... like Gollum.

Spoiler

 
Solas awoke just in time to see Dorian relieving Vivienne of her shift at watch. The two mages fussed over him about getting up and moving around – which the elf found rather interesting considering the two usually ganged up on him in most matters, but not generally with his well-being in mind – but he insisted upon going for a walk by himself; he could handle the rest of the healing well enough on his own.
 
Cole was ecstatic to see him walk out of the guest room under his own power – well, mostly his own power, if one ignored the hard lean he put on his staff with each step. It took a moment for him to calm the spirit down, and even longer to convince Cole that he needn’t run off to fetch the Inquisitor right away. Solas had a mind to seek her out for himself, preferably without company.
 
It took longer than he would have preferred given his temporarily slower pace, but the elven mage finally spotted her as he roamed the grounds of Skyhold. She had sequestered herself in her private training grounds behind the Keep, away from prying eyes or any exterior windows. That probably meant she wished to be left alone and if anyone could relate to that, it was Solas, but he felt an overwhelming desire to speak with her, even if only briefly. She’d thrown herself at a dragon’s gnashing mouth to save his life, after all; that deserved some sort of recognition, he thought.
 
However, Solas found himself rooted to the spot. It felt rude to interrupt the Inquisitor in the middle of her workout and he wasn’t quite sure what to say to break the ice. So, instead, the mage remained in place, leaning on his staff, simply watching her for a while. In the heat of battle, things were generally a flurry of action and passed by in a blur. But here, in the safety of Skyhold, Solas found himself surprisingly mesmerized as Trevelyan swung and parried, forward and back, all graceful pivots and sleek motions. She reminded him of the mountain lions he’d sometimes passed in his journeys, stalking wild pigs and pouncing in such fluid motion, goddesses of the hunt.
 
His appreciation was short-lived. During one of her maneuvers, the Inquisitor paused for a moment, weight back on her right leg. A white, ethereal light appeared around her and down the length of the wooden blade. Then, she shouted as she stepped forward and swung, and the glow around her exploded outward like a physical force.
 
The mage gasped in alarm, eyes widened, as the wave hit him and he suddenly lost all connection with the Fade, severed from the feeling of magic all around him and running through him. It was as if he’d been thrown into a deep lake, sinking down under the weight of the water and cut off from the air. Solas collapsed to one knee and tightened his grip on his stave, while his other hand gripped his throat and he coughed harshly, like the silencing spell were an actual choking thing.
 
Trevelyan turned in surprise, then immediately tossed away the sword and ran towards him. “Solas!” she cried, dropping down to her knees when she reached him. “Maker’s breath, I had no idea you were there or I’d have never…” She placed a hand on his shoulder. “Are you all right?”
 
Solas shrugged her hand away roughly, an angry and betrayed expression on his face.
 
The Inquisitor pulled back, looking ashamed. “It’s… it’s only a temporary effect,” she muttered, tone apologetic. “Your magic will come back shortly.”
 
“A Templar?” he snarled, pinning her with accusing eyes. It was as if everything he knew about her and the Inquisition had been turned on its head. Suddenly, the graceful wildcat he’d been watching had turned into a very real predator, one who could end either his freedom or his life with no warning. “Were you ever going to tell me, or was I simply going to wake up in a cage once I’d outlived my usefulness to the Inquisition?”
 
Trevelyan jerked back as if suddenly burned. “I’m not a Templar,” she said, then looked back up at him and with strong conviction added, “and I would never do that to you, Solas. Never.”
 
“Not a Templar,” he spat. “That neat little trick of yours says otherwise, Inquisitor.”
 
“I was a Templar, once,” she answered. “A long time ago. But no longer.”
 
“Yet you still practice their ways.”
 
“Only to keep from losing the talent,” she said. “It can come in handy when a mage does go rogue.”
 
The elf seemed unconvinced. “Why have you not shown it before?”
 
“For exactly this reason!” Trevelyan spat, sounding defensive. “Because I feared facing what’s happening right now, your trust and faith in me shattered from a past I want nothing to do with again.”
 
“But why hide it?” asked Solas. He started to feel the tickle of magic returning to him once more and it helped put him a little bit at ease again, but he was still hurt. “Why the lie by omission? If you’d just said from the start you were a… a disillusioned Templar…”
 
“Would you have reacted any differently?” countered the Inquisitor. “Or worse, turned and ran right after you’d joined us?”
 
The mage was silent for a while. He didn’t have a good answer for that. Instead, his curiosity began to rise. “Why did you leave the Order?”
 
Trevelyan looked down again. “As you might say, Solas,” she answered, “it’s complicated.”
 
The elf couldn’t help but smirk at that. “Try me.”
 
“The Order dictated that I protect my fellow Templars,” she started, “even when there were whispers of abuse against the mages. The Order dictated that I slay any mage suspected of blood magic or demonic possession, even if there was no more evidence than the hearsay of rivals. The Order dictated that I hunt down and either kill or imprison apostates, even if they minded their own business and threatened no one. The Order dictated that I force all mages who came of age to either pass the Harrowing or endure the Rite of Tranquility.”
 
Trevelyan paused, seeming to gather herself. Then, she gazed at him with tearful eyes. “I was a good little Templar, just following orders. I went to fetch an apprentice one morning for his Harrowing. He’d always been a good lad, obedient, never a bother to anyone.” A pause. A sigh. “I found him dangling from the rafters of the library basement. He’d made a noose from his robes. He chose death over the fear of the Harrowing or the emotional neutering of Tranquility. Looking back on it now, I suppose that as a Circle mage, it was the only part of his life he could truly control – when it ended.”

 

Solas remained quiet, studying the Inquisitor’s face as she ran a gamut of emotions.
 
Then, with the forceful power he’d heard from her so often before, she stated, “The Order no longer dictates anything to me.”
 
“I… am sorry for my outburst earlier, Trevelyan,” the mage said quietly, after a brief pause. “You are right, and I believe you. You would do no such thing, to me or to any other mage.”
 
“When all of this is over, Solas,” said the Inquisitor, “they’ll not have you. Not while I still stand.”
 
She reached up, then, surprising him by cupping his cheek with her hand. And before he could react any further than simply freezing in place, she leaned forward and kissed him. A soft, light kiss that seemed to ask permission, to question if he was all right with this.
 
When she pulled back and looked at him with lidded eyes, Solas let out a shaky sigh and blinked for a moment. He felt a blush creeping into his cheeks and wasn’t quite sure how to react. Then, throwing caution to the wind and taking a deep breath to steady his nerves, he pressed forward and initiated a kiss of his own.

Score! Really enjoyed it! Do you plan to continue with it?

 

 

You asked for it. 

 

 

I can show you his head

Shining, shimmering, splendid.

Tell me, Inquisitor, when did

You spy such a vibrant gleam?

 

He can open your mind.

Show you the greyer places.

Reveal each of these cases

Far more complex than they seem.

 

A whole new style

A warm practical kind of suit

And I never knew

You don't need shoes

If you only plan on dreaming.

 

A whole new style

His tight grey pants and naught a boot

With his mind afar

And tiny scar

It'd be a lie to say he isn't cute.

 

So, gotta admit, I totally sang this to the Kittens for our amusement.

 

Friday seems like a good day for LI info, aaaaand go! All I can say is thank goodness for Mass Effect... Doing my first play through and I think Kaidan is distracting me enough to keep me sane.

All I could think was, "Throw the LI's out there into the pit and then RUN!!!" All Dev's disappear for the weekend and allow the forums to implode/duke it out. lol

 

Fade family is a go. I repeat. Fade family is a go.

 

My Inquisitor and Solas:

Aw, look, someone took a photo of me when I sent each Kitten off to Kindergarten... ;p

 

Also guys...I wanna know your thoughts. Is it just me that is getting a bit irked by comments on how Solas can't be an LI because of his personality? People seem to be implying that introverts or more reserved and independent people's personality "can't work" for romances and it's irking me a tad bit. Especially as an introvert myself.

He has a 50/50 chance of becoming an LI, but I'm willing to bet all of my money that it isn't because of his personality.

That sort of crap actually REALLY makes me hope he's an LI completely divorced from my personally wanting to have my main PC able to romance him. I am astonished that on a gaming forum...on the internet, so many folk don't get that introverts want to give and receive love too...

Edit: I've noticed a suspicious amount of NTs in here.

[Awkward Octopus]

Apparently I'm an INFJ, but the F is very nearly a T... I don't really know what it means, though. To me the whole thing sounds too close to Zodiac stuff where you find bits of yourself in every description, sooo... I don't know that I put much stock in it. I admittedly have not done much research into it.

 

Plus, labels. I'm not a fan of labels.

Solas thread is anything happening ? I haven't been able to read or write a lot on forums because of my terrible migraine, i'm on meds and it's helping a little, but i'm still tired. So could you catch me up on the good,the mad , the bad and the Romance thread.

[RebelishGirl(New)]

I don't now what type of introvert I am. I'm have no idea what the INTJ and stuff like that means. I should look it up. Sorry english is not my first language ;p

[RebelishGirl(New)]

Oh, not much info on Solas I'm afraid Allazor 

 

But Cole's VA has been announced! And we have discussed how just because you are an introvert, it doesn't mean you can't have a romance! What more? Oh! More Disney songs turned dragon age

It's sort of a personality test, based on 8 functions of the mind. It's not 100% accurate, just some food for thought.

Here's a link to a good one if you want to try it: http://www.16persona...ersonality-test

 

Your English is good

I wouldn't have guessed that, actually.

[AmuHav]

My boyfriend is INTJ, n I'm INTP, guess thats why we get on so great. The first time I took the test, I was 100% introvert, but when I retook it, i was 80%. So y'know, somewhere inbetween those 2 numbers I guess

[RebelishGirl(New)]

You guuuys, making me all bashful and stuff

I've really worked on my english so I'm happy it payed off!

Yeah I'm like only 60% Extroverted almost every time I take the test. I'm pretty sure Solas is an INTP.

But really though I wouldn't have noticed that it wasn't your first language until you pointed it out, you go. Also you type better than my brother who's first language is English.

Oooh, ooh we're doing personalities here? INFP reporting for duty 

 

 

Let's do a head count. Extroverted LIs, Sera, Iron Bull, Cullen. Introverted LIs, Cassandra(she could be an extrovert though so) and Josephine.

Hm, I think Cassandra would be an introvert and Josephine possibly an extrovert because she seems to be very outgoing and loves to be constantly around people (could be different in game of course).

 

So that would put it at 4/1....then add Dorian who seems to be an extrovert so 5/1.

We need more introvert love. So....obviously we need Solas. 

[Solas]

I'm an ISTP! For what it's worth I believe Solas would be an INTP or INTJ (still puzzling between those two).

[Science To Do]

I think that test put me as an INTP. All I remember for sure was that it started with INT.

 

Yay!

Sorry english is not my first language ;p

Qurl, you had me fooled! Your english is better than mine (and that's... uh... well now it's the only language I know) - I mean- sometimes I look back at things I wrote the day or night before and are like... 'huh?'

(ps. did you do your icon pic?)

Solas thread is anything happening ? I haven't been able to read or write a lot on forums because of my terrible migraine, i'm on meds and it's helping a little, but i'm still tired. So could you catch me up on the good,the mad , the bad and the Romance thread.

Ouch, sorry! I feel yah on the migraines. Sadly, nothing new for Solas. Hope you get rid of that pain soon with medication.

Plus, labels. I'm not a fan of labels. 

According to this test I'm ISFJ. However, what I think I am and what I actually do are two entirely different things, according to family commentary. So who knows... I'm probably like... E-something-I don't know- what the heck- tests aren't reliable- not a fan of labels either.

[Solas]

Question for those who think solas is an intp over an intj, could i enquire after your reasoning for this? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it

[Felya87]

INFP. 

 

never something easy for me.

 

"same" kind of personality of J. R. R. Tolkien. I don't deserve such personality!
