aha! Inquisitor anders is so ridiculous that I can't help but click on it.
Self inserts as a whole are hard to get right. And this one's a crossover because I have poor impulse control.
If I was ever going to write one, I would simply write out how I played my Herald because I usually play her as myself. Meaning the choices I make in the game are what I would make in real life. It actually helped me learn a bit more about myself when playing DA games and making non-RP choices.
I've found self-insert (girls from the future in our time) are overdone, but another DA character would be fun! I could just see Merrill in that role
poor Solas...
Merrill would be hilarious as Inquisitor.
If done right a modern character in Thedas story is worth my time. It's about character development and telling the story from a different perspective. As long as it isn't retelling the game with (inset OC here just for kicks) then I find them entertaining.
So shameless plug for my own. She is, but isn't a modern girl in Thedas.

I love self-inserts where you as the writer are there just to make things worse for everyone and holds a grudge against Solas or Blackwall for knowing what they are LOL

TOP Solas!

Back when I read fanfiction I always avoided the "modern girl ends up in X setting" because I got tired of seeing these more or less clueless blushing kids ending up in a position like the Inquisitor and either being a catastrophic klutz that everyone found totally endearing anyway or someone who magically knew and did everything correctly. I always wondered why the hero couldn't be, say, someone in the military, or a CIA agent or anyone with some sort of combat training who is strategy-minded or whatever. Or something that could be fun and interesting like a veterinarian or nun. Just think of that story...
The idea of making a minor DA character into the main protagonist is intriguing though. I can only imagine Sebastian as the Inquisitor. Or Zevran. Zevran would be ridiculously awesome.

An unromanced Zevran would solve every issue by either sleeping with or killing every person threatening the Inquisition lol
Guys, I got it! I know how we're going to redeem Solas!
I promise it's absolutely foolproof. Seriously, I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier.

I want to ask a question from you all... I am so curious.. I want to know about your Lavellans. First (I know some asked these but I have more) for those who have time to write them up. I would love to read them: Age, Class and specialization (why those ones, was there a reason), Personality, what do you think they mostly adored about Solas like what were the facinating things for YOUR lavellan about him. Also I would like to know their relationship with clan lavellan, if they lived or died and how they reacted to that. How is their backround? And lastly.. if you could choose your own thing to say to Solas in trespasser what would they say? I will post mine later if someone is interested :3
Tala Lavellan
Age at beginning of Inquisition: 32
Class: Mage (because I thought this would give her more in common with Solas)
Specialization: Knight-Enchanter because I usually play as a rogue and like close combat
Personality: Inquisitive (tee-hee!), clever, a little vain (especially when she used to have long, glossy black hair), generous, a tendency to speak before she thinks. She reads voraciously (she invests her perks in knowledge first). Regrets keep her up at night, even though she knows, had she made other choices, she probably would have regretted those, too. She alternates between being incredibly self-aware and being in a state of denial. Once she loves something, she loves it with all her heart. And she loves to dance and sing. She values loyalty almost above everything. Initially mistrustful of humans, Dorian is now her best friend. She didn't disdain alienage elves, she still considered them her people, if somewhat misguided. She advocated for any that came to join their clan. Flat-ear was just the term everyone she knew used for them. She stopped calling them flat-ears after meeting Solas. She has a blind spot when it comes to Solas. She only figured out he was Fen'Harel after seeing the mural of him removing the vallaslin. In Trespasser, after speaking with the Viddasala, she thought he left because he had been fighting the Qunari all that time. She would die before killing Solas.
What Tala adored most about Solas: That he never sought acknowledgement for the good he did: the quiet way he went off to help the refugees while Tala and the others spoke with Mother Giselle, the kind way with which he comforted the other members of the Inquisition:
His guidance prepared her to navigate Halamshiral. Through his influence, she became more politic and insightful. He even helped her master the unfamiliar steps of human dance, which he supposedly learned in the Fade.
What fascinated her about Solas: His wisdom and knowledge of elves and magic- he knew so much more than Keeper Deshanna (who I imagine as being only about 7 years older than Tala). How his own calm demeanour often contrasted with her own. Part of her wanted to see if she could ruffle his feathers. She, however, thought his attempts at flirting awkward and tried not to shudder when he mentioned her indomitable focus being dominated, chalking it up to his being on his own for so long. She knew he loved her, which is why she demanded in Crestwood, "Tell me you don't care."
Clan Lavellan: OK, I cheated. After not taking the time to carefully read the agent's italicized letter, I followed Cullen's advice on my first playthrough and her entire clan was massacred. So, I went back and made sure they survived. However, she hasn't seen them since she had her vallaslin removed. She has sent letters, because she misses and loves them, but they would not understand. She also didn't want to explain that she had an opportunity to drink from the Well of Sorrows, but gave it up to a shem. Now that she knows Solas is Fen'Harel, she has warned them of his plans, but she still doesn't trust herself to meet them in person, because then everything would spill out. She is grateful that Varric has pulled some strings to give them some political clout. She worries that because her clan was under siege in Wycome at the same time as the Halamshiral ball, her choice to allow Celene to die and position Briala to rule through Gaspard was emotionally driven. Now that the elves have left in droves, she wonders where Briala stands, and what this means for her efforts to stop Solas from destroying the world.
What She Would Say to Solas in Trespasser: Who betrayed you? Who hurt you so much that you could not bring yourself to trust me?
Dorian with a spirit blade? Varric without Bianca? Did the artist even play the game?
That was my first thought as soon as I saw the print. They're all out of character.
I'm so sorry! To her and to everyone, because she's such an awesome person to have on the thread.
I feel horrible.
I don't mean to sound insensitive, but no one here is responsible for other people's feelings and no one here has crossed the line in regards to that topic. We can't be walking on eggshells all the time. If she believes she needs a break, then that might be good for her.

That paired with his slight approval of Inky's snarky comment about the pair being unable to resist the charm of decrepit pub makes me think that he though the place is just too un-romantic Oh Solas... I bet you have your own copy of Swords and Shields hidden somewhere.
LOL, can you imagine Lavellan discovering him reading it? The teasing would be merciless, if it happened with mine

I'm guilty of that too. xD A multi-dimensional town that draws people with ominous issues is a haven for fic writers.

Cheers, me dears!
Sunnie is taking a break from the forums. She was very hurt and offended the other day. She told me she might be back someday but right now she doesn't know.
Noooo! I was fully supportive of Professor Solas, because he's hot!
Lavellan: I don't know, Professor. I'm just so bad at Fade Studies.
Solas: You need to work harder or you're going to fail.
Lavellan: Oh, I'd do anything not to fail! Anything! :::twirls locks around her finger and pouts:::
Solas: (shifts uncomfortably in his chair)
Excuse me, I have to go have some alone time now.
Sunnie come back!!!!
