Character: [OU] Ellana Lavellan
Canon: Dragon Age, specifically Inquisition
Info: Dalish mage and First to her clan's Keeper (mage leader) gets sent to a shem meeting to spy on the proceedings, ends up being called the "herald" of the human's god and his human bride. Denies being divine in the slightest. Uses weird magic tattoo to sew the sky back together, survive weird magic shit that'd kill most people, and is slowly dying because of said tattoo--at least was before awakening; thanks Melodies!

Also may or may not have been the leader of a religious organization that refused to drink the Chaos Koolaid. (It's red and blight-flavored...ew.) Also may have dated a wolf in elven clothing.
Job(s): Illusionist + Summoner
Housing: B-08
Other Housing: N/A
Moogle: Falon. He's a bit scatterbrained and will wander off at random intervals before appearing again with something he thinks others will like (and a kupo nut for himself).
Status: ASIDE FROM THINKING THE CRYSTAL OF FIRE WAS RED LYRIUM WHEN SHE FIRST AWOKE... pretty good, oddly enough. She's still diving into the whole "how does new world" thing head first (and likely poking at computer terminals with two fingers and very slowly all "what does this button do?" at the labs when not at the library). Both Falon and Ophelia had no idea what they enabled when they suggested "go to the library" or "go check out the labs for Palitutu's reports". However, with the threat of Palitutu's visit looming closer, she's also more focused in learning all she can about the Tarutaru so she's at least somewhat competent in the efforts.
Employment: N/A but looking she's good with arcane knowledge back in Thedas and can do underground work, also knows how to follow and how to lead
Plans: Of the three she's the more open minded and shrewd of those I have currently, so while I want to have her assist others in facing Palitutu, she doesn't have anything to stop her from having her Jobs nullified--nor does she have much experience put into them as she's just arrived. However, coming up with strategies and her knowledge of how most spyworking works may be useful in some way. As a Dalish elf, she learned well how to avoid petty human squabbling, too
Desired CR: ALL THE THINGS.
Undesired Things:
Shipping: I wouldn't mind, but she would, since she's... not over Solas yet.

Ah, Mistress Lavellan. We would greatly enjoy your company at the labs, since we're currently working on a project that kind of sort of...opens a rift. And we need to make sure nothing bad comes out when we open it this time and that we've got a way to close it?

[lostwisdom]

Did you say rifts? It would be a lie to say I'm not interested.

[theendiswherewestartfrom]

I'm probably going to have Jack put up a thing for it after whatever we've got coming for us in August.

Side note, though, I am not current on Trespasser, since it hasn't come out on Xbox 360 yet, but I'm intending to find a way to play it soon.

[lostwisdom]

That's fine! While I've played it myself (with the male Qunari mage my mother and I made together), she hasn't gone through it just yet! /o/

My sympathies re: Trespasser on 360... Something tells me it'd likely melt it and PS3s...

[shinrasfinest]

Thanks for having her tag my letter!

For what it's worth Sephiroth isn't on the onion-knight list either and he's been here since the start! Neither can he pilot a magitek so it's kinda screwed on that front also. As I said in the comment to Ira I've no idea which route to pick with him in the upcoming chaos but I'm sure it'll make itself clearer once we get there.

In the meantime, he's not so good at helping anyone find their feet but at least Ellana understood where he came from on the army front so there's that!

[lostwisdom]

No problem! Leaders of military forces have to stick together, you know? Plus she kind of had a feeling there would otherwise be a tiny little voice saying "Our men know they might die in the line of duty. They could buy us more time." ...Something she had to put her foot down on rather early on in her commanding of a personal army.

I'm eagerly awaiting the event update to see where the shit is hitting the fan more, too. That will probably help the both of us, honestly. Just throw her into the fire and she'll manage it, given her track record. She was groomed since early childhood to lead and guide, and if there's any way to help she'll do it. Despite not having a good grasp on what the hell is going on.

[shinrasfinest]

It's a fine balance, that line between at what point troops are disposable or not. Sephiroth's rather new at being so much 'in charge' but it's a lesson he's learned the hard way so far.

Also it turns out that he'll be going to the plains after all, since I learned he's on the Crystal Knight equipment list that Levy has been working on. He's not going to be with a hug force though, I think he'll put them on task for emergency bunkering people down if the attack comes.

[lostwisdom]

Honestly, she isn't sure if there is a way to learn it other than the hard way. Someone has to make the tough decisions after all.

Yeah, been thinking the same thing though Ellana will be useless should Palitutu deactivate their Jobs. Unless it doesn't affect limit breaks, in which she can at least shield maybe four or five in her immediate vicinity once. I forget if it also applies to their limit breaks. She's only used a sword once and even then, it was to execute one person her sense of justice couldn't pardon. #mageproblems

[shinrasfinest]

I'm very much excited to get more CR with Ellana now. She sounds like someone who might be able to notice the very slight tell that Sephiroth doesn't exactly take the authority as naturally as most might see him do. Could make for some interesting, maybe a little sharp, conversations - how he needs to step up yadda yadda...?

As for limit breaks.....yeeeeea. Never used Seph's, would love to just to see the look on everyone's face. Hope there might well be a chance this event :D

[lostwisdom]

Yes, she very much would be able to tell--especially after surrounding herself with spies and rogues who told her a bit more about reading others. She might not be too tough on him, but if she sees it she will call him out on it and offer to advise if need be.

I will be sure to save some popcorn then!
