We need more fanfiction. NEED.

 

He appears in my fanfic as a sort-of party member, but I don't think he's going to be romantically involved with anyone, annnnd I don't do smut.  So I can't satisfy that particular desire, if that's what you are hoping for.

 

Hehe, we all have different tastes, I guess.  Though if you want to headcanon that he just shaves his head instead of being an egg, go right ahead.   :)

 

It does seem like BioWare is going down the "ancient elves have to look like aliens so we're making them bald" route.  Which is lame, if you ask me.

 

And I'm still trying desperately to play a male Lavellan, but I can't seem to get past his narrow boy-shoulders.   :(  I need a body-switch mod, like yesterday.  Even Cillian the Dalish Arcane Warrior in multiplayer has decent shoulders.   :(

 

Some have pointed out that it appears Solas shaves.  They said if you look closely in some scenes, he has some hair/stubble on his head.  I haven't noticed this, but I don't doubt it - he also has some fuzz on his face in his texture, apparently.  So, Abelas probably does shave, and isn't just bald.  Perhaps it's something to do with being a priest?

Never mind! Posted before I read it. Totally different Abelas. Not the same at all.

Ah yea I remember seeing that, but I assumed it was a different Abelas indeed.

You know that codex makes me wonder what it was like when Mythal was alive and kicking around with her people. 

 

Is Abelas sadden by purely by her absence or is it because his elven pride is hurt by the new generation? 

 

I mean Mythal must have had some great side if they dedicated their immortal lives to serve her.

It might be a bit of Blue and Orange Morality.  Perhaps the ancient elves were devoted to their gods for so long that good and evil no longer particularly mattered as far as the gods were concerned.  Things that players or modern Thedosians would find horrifying (like the elven sacrifice or lakes of blood) might not even faze Abelas.  Just part of the gods doing their thing.

Yeah, who knows what the culture was like back in those ancient days. 

 

Still makes me curious though. If the ancient elves had similar caste systems as Tevinter, then I guess being a sentinel was rather high up in the social food chain than just slaves or elves.

Mmmm... I tend to disagree with that theory because I believe that in order for an audience to fully understand the horror of a storyline, morality must be consistent.  I'm not really sure about Thedas, but at least in DAO morality did seem to be defined the same way we define it.  And question it, as in Loghain's case.

 

I'm more inclined to believe that, since the ancient elves were immortal, time just went by so slowly that when things changed, they changed so gradually that they didn't even notice the change.  I believe that their gods were corrupted very slowly over a very long period of time, and by the time everyone noticed, it was too late.

 

If Abelas is the senior sentinel he appears to be, then I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be pining for the good ol' days, before everything went to hell.

Dragon Age Inquisition: the only game where the NPCs look more badass and stylish than the main character.

 

Someone needs to make a spoof comic out of this, I swear.  I saw one about hair before but I can't locate it.

Agreed. I am rather disappointed at the lack of armour variations in Inquisition. I expected to loot an enemy's armour and weapons after defeating them.

Abelas' vallaslin:  binding or badge of honor?  Or both?

 

Also, do you think they go all the way down like Fenris' or the Inquisitor's cards?  Personally, I would love it if they gave us this option for our Dalish characters in the future.

He needs to be romanceable in the next game, for I shall accept no other elf!

I ALWAYS choose the elf.

Abelas is just full of potential imo.Even if he wasn't a LI(which would be a shame),I'd certainly want him in my party.
Especially after what Solas and Dorian told him.

Broody?  Maybe.  I tend to think he's more grumpy.  How dare you shemlen wake him up from his nap?

 

He'd just settled in and gotten all comfy too. Now he'll have to put the kettle on and get some hot coco and marshmallows before he's ready to snuggle back into bed.

We need more fanfiction. NEED.

I've seen 2-3 more prompts, I think (not sure) but one has been promised to be filled.  I'm watching them.   :ph34r:

I want to see where this story is going. It's good, so far.

 

There is another fic on AO3, but just a 9,000-word one-shot. More SolasxLavellen, but a bit of AbelasxLavellan. Can't remember the title.....

Companion and LI for female characters!  BioWare, make it so!  Haven't you done enough damage with Solas?

So, I don't know how many of you knew it, and it's not really a romance-specific fic, but there is a whole lot of Abelas in the fanfic I am working on.  Warning:  IT IS VERY SAD.  The link is in my sig; it's on these very BioWare forums and is smut-free (in case that matters to some of you).

Or male! But I imagine he wouldn't go for anyone but an elf.

Abelas for everyone!  I have no problem with that!  I just want him for my girl especially.  :)
