I've been listening to the Hamilton soundtrack pretty much nonstop for the last several days, and while it was playing the idea of filking it to make the songs about my Inquisitor. I'll be adding songs as I get them written, and each one will have a link to the one it's based on in case you're unfamiliar with them or just want to have them playing while you read what I did to the lyrics.
1.01 Inquisitor Lavellan
(to the tune of "Alexander Hamilton")
(With all due thanks and apologies to Lin Manuel-Miranda and to Bioware)

VARIC TETHRAS:
How does an outcast, Dalish, daughter of the elves
Keeper of a people who all keep to themselves
Sole survivor of the explosion that tried to end Justinia's mission
Grow up to lead the Divine's Inquisition?
CORYPHEUS:
This upstart elf, knife-eared fool forgot herself
But she took her companions, made them fight as one
Until she could see it done
Until the war could be won
Within months she gave Thedas an entire new fate, son
MOTHER GISELLE:
And every day while Venatori spread their vile slaughter
From Haven first, then Skyhold, she acted like the daughter
Of the Chantry, seeing it through its darkest hour yet
Lavellan was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
CASSANDRA:
When the Venatori came, and devastation reigned
Lavellan saw that there was hope when our hope waned
Gave the Inquisition its mission, our songs a new refrain
Led us to a new day, by setiing aside the past's pain
SOLAS:
Well the word got around, they said "You must be insane, elf!"
But she saved them all, gave it all, with no thought of herself
"Lead the Inquisition, save us, make a name for youself
The world's gonna know your name! What's your name, elf?"
INQUISITOR LAVELLAN:
Inquisitor Lavellan
My name is Inquisitor Lavellan
And there's a million lives out there to save
But just you wait, just you wait
SERA:
When she was ten, at the Blight's end, given to her Keeper
To learn all the elfy secrets her mentor could teach her
Wand'ring the Marches' snow-swept lands
Feared no man
COMPANY:
She thought she'd just be Keeper, fate had other plans
JOSEPHINE & COMPANY:
Her Keeper sent her to spy, to attend the Divine Conclave
The Anchor in her hand, our world she alone could save
A lesser being might have just fended for herself
That's a lot of pressure for the world to put on just that one elf
SOLAS & COMPANY:
There would’ve been nothin’ left to do
For someone less astute
We would’ve been dead or destitute
Without a coin of restitution
But she put past pain aside, chose to rise, not to die
Led the Inquisition's mission, spat in Corypheus' eye
(Scammin') for any way, no price too high to pay
(Plannin’) for the future, see her now as she says, hey (oooh)
From Skyhold mountain, we will find a new way
In Skyhold we can find a new way
COMPANY & LAVELLAN:
In Skyhold we can find a new way (Just you wait)
In Skyhold we can find a new way (Just you wait)
In Skyhold we can find a new way
WOMEN: MEN:
In Skyhold Skyhold
LAVELLAN:
Just you wait
COMPANY:
Inquisitor Lavellan (Inquisitor Lavellan)
We were waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)
You could never back down
You never got to take your time
Oh, Inquisitor Lavellan (Inquisitor Lavellan)
When Thedas sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
Thedas will never be the same, oh
SOLAS & COMPANY:
She stood that day in Haven, no matter what you say
(Just you wait)
An upstart elf, with her help, we would find a new way
(Just you wait)
Her enemies attacked her rep, Thedas yet stands to this day
CASSANDRA/BLACKWALL/IRON BULL:
We fought with her
HAWKE:
Me? I died for her
LELIANA:
Me? I trusted her
SERA/JOSEPHINE:
Me? I loved her
SOLAS:
And me? I'm the one who betrayed her
COMPANY:
There's a million lives to save now
But just you wait
SOLAS:
What's your name, elf?
LAVELLAN & COMPANY:
Inquisitor Lavellan!
