HISTORY

PRE-VEIL_{Born into a family of lesser nobles, Revanelan knew no suffering, only wealth and privilege- they had access to everything they could ever want or need, every whim met, albeit with nothing so extravagant as claims to godhood… Despite her position, Revan bore witness to suffering beyond measure as she watched the corruption of the Evanuris, the dedication of slaves to ‘Gods’ in whom they refused to believe.Rather than remain complacent, Revanelan began to work silently against the higher nobles and Evanuris, making use of their connections to manipulate those they could into working against the ‘Gods’ interests while she freed their slaves and sent them away, where they could be free once more. Through her actions, she befriended a Spirit of Valor who chose to help her.Over time, Revanelan became more closely involved with the undercurrents of rebellion, separating herself from her own status in order to help those who needed her. She had traveled to the Shattered Library in search of assistance from the Librarians when the Veil manifested- an event she hadn’t known, occurring so suddenly that the only warning was from her incorporeal friend.As she fled through the Eluvian with Valor, certain that she would be needed on the other side, the Fade and Thedas were separated, ending the elvhen woman’s life… but for the intervention of her dear friend, gathering Revanelan’s soul and binding them together.As the years passed and the world recovered, Revanelan would return, unknowingly bound to Valor for eternity, their memories lost to the Fade…}NOMAD
_{Born to a young couple during the second meeting of the Clans in the Dragon Age, Revanelan Ilensul’s birth was heralded by a rather intense discussion of the subjugation of the City Elves, in which her father argued that the Dalish should pay heed, lest they eventually be subjected to further mistreatment by the humans. So precise was her timing that, as her father’s voice raised, her mother’s did as well and she emerged, crying as loudly as each. For this she was named Revanelan, or ‘she who fights for freedom’.Although the clans left, her small family remained, making a home in the secluded valley so that Arlathvhen might return in a decade’s time to a safe place. As time passed, her parents taught her a great many things, as did the clans that passed through or nearby. Eager to learn, Revanelan caught onto most things quickly. By her 10th year, she was able to catch fish on her own, ride halla, and proved a worthy opponent in battle.Shortly after her 10th birthday, as the third Arlathvhen of the Dragon Age commenced, Revanelan found herself spending most of her time sparring with a group of children around her age. During one such bout, an unforeseen strike managed to draw blood, and a sudden wave of anger took hold of her- a return attack that should have been a simple blow came harder, fueled by something more than Revan’s strength- magic.The reaction from the clans was one of apprehension- certainly they were accustomed to displays of magic, but more often than not, they were clear in nature. A spark of flame or a sudden wave of cold, freezing anything nearby… Yet she showed no such abilities, the only evidence of any magic her initial blow and the absence of any wound where she had first been struck.Revanelan remained with her family for six more years, at which point her parents finally agreed to allow her to explore the world outside their secluded valley. Although they were hesitant, when another clan passed through, Revan departed with them along with her family’s well wishes.The skillset she had cultivated only grew with her travels, snippets of Orlesian and Fereldan she knew growing to full fluency, abilities honed through practice and execution with the other hunters. With these activities came an understanding of her abilities: the strength with which she was imbued in the midst of battle, allowing her to wield a sword with a single hand, bearing a shield on her other arm, and preventing the exhaustion that might have overwhelmed her from wearing heavier armors. Although the Keepers of the clans often attempted to find other magical abilities within her grasp, each failed, coming away with more confusion than they had before.She traveled between clans often, following whomsoever she believed might lead her to the most interesting places where she could learn more. During her 20th year, as she neared Val Royeoux, Revan found herself drawn to the foreign city and its strange politics. While she had heard much of the plight of the elves within the countries, never before had she entered the human cities.}ORLAIS
_{Following her first journey into Hilamshiral and witnessing the position in which the city elves have been forced, Revanelan begins to question the beliefs that had been instilled into her by the dalish clans with which she traveled- while they thought of the ’flat eats’ as nothing but lost, she couldn’t help seeing them as a source of hope. Although she did not originally remain, Revan made connections and continued to make journeys into the city, slowly learning more and more of the city elves’ plight…Until Hilamshiral burned.She wept for those she had known, those who had been murdered by their own empress, a woman who she saw as no better than her opponents for the throne.Taking the name of one woman she had grown close with and bore some resemblance to, Revan - now Rasa - infiltrated the nobility under the pretense of being a servant, connecting with the rebellion in an effort to truly bring forth change in the Empire.}INQUISITION_{Her own agent, Revanelan has worked towards the betterment of the downtrodden and hurt, utilizing her unique skills to manipulate those she could, posing as an elvhen servant in numerous locations, working with the Elves of Hilamshiral, and even the Mage Rebellion in the hopes of forging a better world…When the Conclave was announced, a chance to give freedom to the mages, a meeting with numerous people of power… Who would possibly forgo such an opportunity?but perhaps she should have.}

DECISIONS

The Wrath of Heaven.  _{An adamantly agnostic woman, Revanelan refused the title ‘Herald of Andraste’; although many assumed it was her Dalish origins, the truth was that she merely didn’t believe as those who hailed her as such did. Even apparent miracles would not change her mind- whatever had happened was more than the interference of some being greater than her… and even if she did believe, it wasn’t something she wished to dwell on.Because the mark is increasingly obvious over time, Revan often wears gloves in an effort to remain at least somewhat anonymous and unknown as the ‘Herald’.}In Hushed Whispers  _{When Revan, Cassandra, and a few others arrived at Val Royeaux to find the group of Templars abandoning the people and claiming their reasons for the greater good, she found herself unsurprised- far too heavy a past with the Order, the idea of requesting their assistance had been entertained a mere moment before being dismissed. The Grand Enchanter’s appearance was too coincidental, yet Revan found herself inclined to return to the Hinterlands; to help those who she knew had been kept apart for so long.Taking the name of one woman she had grown close with and bore some resemblance to, Revan - now Rasa - infiltrated the nobility under the pretense of being a servant, connecting with the rebellion in an effort to truly bring forth change in the Empire.}In Your Heart Shall Burn.  _{When given the title of Inquisitor in Skyhold, Revanelan declared that she would stand as an example, an elf fighting for the fate of all.}.Here Lies The Abyss.  _{Despite her ability to play the various members of the court, returning to battle was a relief for Revanelan- it was far easier to strike at someone with a sword than with their exact weaknesses, examined and compiled over time. Despite the consequences, when the bridge collapsed under the psuedo-archdemon’s weight, Revan opened a rift and transported herself, the Grey Warden, and Hawke into the Fade…When she emerged, it was with Hawke, alone, to declare that the Grey Wardens would remain under the Inquisition’s watchful eye rather than be turned loose to do as they pleased.}Wicked Eyes & Wicked Hearts.  _{The Winter Palace was the first place Revanelan felt she could finally utilize her lesser known skills for the Inquisition, carefully moving about to discover the secrets of the nobles all the while playing to the court’s approval. Although it was difficult to manage both, she found herself ending the evening with the death of the Empress, the defeat of the Grand Duchess, and an agreement between Grand Duke Gaspard and Ambassador Briala - the fighting would end and, together, they would maintain peace.}What Pride Had Wrought.  _{While Samson and his soldiers charged through towards their goal with the grace of an elephant, Revanelan honored her heritage and the far too familiar temple’s customs before making her way to the Petitioner’s Chamber. Here, she pleaded with the Guardians of the Temple to allow her assistance in stopping the Red Templars, adamant that they would leave without disturbing the Well… only to have Morrigan pursue Abelas, abandoning the Inquisitor and her companions to the battle.When finally the battle was over and they reached the pair once more, Revanelan was hesitant to have anyone drink- while the reasoning was sound that Corypheus would surely return, it seemed wrong to rid the world of something so rich in history. If it had to end, Revanelan chose to have the will of the Well pass onto one of elvhen heritage rather than Morrigan, drinking from it herself.}TRESPASSER  _{The years passed slowly for the Inquisitor- although her goal had been reached, Corypheus slain, the Inquisition remained, a force to be reckoned with as they fought the smaller remaining threats to peace. More and more memories made their way back to her, snippets that made no sense without context, simply another part of her altered life...Of course the nations would see the Inquisition as a problem- unchecked, they might become a power the likes of which they had never known… The thought might have made Revanelan laugh if it hadn’t been for the bureaucracy Orlais and Ferelden forced upon her. She could speak the words they wished to hear, but such things took effort and time. It was bureaucracy better left to her advisors… until the countries called the Exalted Council two years later.In spite of everything, she thought it would go smoothly- deal with the leaders, concede to some of their demands, make a few of her own… if only the qunari hadn’t turned up dead.Yet it was for the better that it had; lives saved, information found… And an eluvian activated.She knew what lay beyond- the Crossroads, not quite the Fade, but nonetheless painful as the visions and thoughts fought for precedence in her mind… Still, she entered; warded off the intrusions in an effort to find answers and, once again, save the people of Thedas.Yet things became complicated- she traveled through the mountainous Elvhen Ruins where everything sang too familiar, destroyed the Qunari operation within the Deep Roads, and found herself in the Shattered Library…The memories were too strong for her to withstand, here- connections formed as she journeyed throughout, bits and pieces finally coming together, forming a cohesive network of familiarity and, soon, leading to Revanelan’s original body…When, finally, she found Solas, Revanelan knew everything. The pain in both her arm and mind continued, and so she numbed herself- found the elf and learned his intentions, unmoved by each of his minor revelations, reacting only to the magical destruction of her body…Until he was gone, and she was free to break completely. Nothing would be the same… Nothing could be the same.}POST TRESPASSER  _{Life after the Exalted Council, much like life after the Conclave, could not be the same for Revanelan. She had lost an arm; a comrade; her entire sense of self. Uncertainty and anguish waged war within her thoughts, but she hides it well- tells few, if anyone, the truth of her existence… She spends more time on the past than she should, searching for connections that might explain some of the memories that had made their way back from former lives after the Veil, as well as on her first… Searching for a way to persuade Solas to stop.}

HISTORY

  _{Born to two veterans, a soldier and a medic, it seemed inevitable that Laura’s life would turn to the same path, but Mary and Matthew Moon did their best to build a life for their daughter that would not force her to pursue such a path unless it was her will.Throughout most of her life, Laura managed to get good grades, make friends, and be a happy child despite some of the constraints on her family. Matthew could not work, and Mary, a nurse, could only work so many hours before collapsing.Finances were in dire shape, and although they had promised her an education, Laura was certain she would spend the rest of her days working a dead-end, minimum wage job until the day she died.In her final year of high school, Laura met a young woman with whom she quickly fell in love with. Tall, blonde, and muscular, Catherine immediately caught her attention, and the two began spending much of their free time together, gradually getting to know one another as the relationship became more and more serious. When Laura finally confessed to uncertainty in the future, it was Catherine who suggested a number of options that were well suited to her strong convictions and desire to help others, including that of becoming a lawyer.The largest hurdle for Laura to overcome was that of funding for her education in law, a far too expensive goal. Catherine was in much the same position, and after months of consideration, the two decided to enlist with the military while attending college to pay their tuition.Although together, Catherine and Laura chose separate paths and, unable to fully commit, after a year and a half, the couple broke up and went their separate ways. With a job as midshipman over the summers amidst training, Laura found herself expanding her own knowledge and growing into her own person.Through her Basic Training, Laura met a fellow soldier named Nate, whom she became fast friends with over their 10 weeks of training. A small group of friends grew around the two, separated only when the training ended and each was shipped to their individual posts.Laura finished her education and continued along the Officer’s path, eventually being commissioned a Second Lieutenant Justice Advocate, and Nate continued his service overseas. When the two finally saw one another again, it had been nearly 3 years, and despite the obvious obstacles, as the two connected, they began to see one another romantically, staying in contact outside of their duties.This continued over long distance for 3 more years, at which point the two were assigned to the nearby posts in Afghanistan. Discretion was taken to ensure there would be no violations or confusions regarding chain of command, and for a time, the two were able to associate outside of phone calls, video chats, and whatever other ways they managed to reach out to one another.Despite the difficulty of their duties and frequent brushes with violence and death, the two were happy.Like all good things, however, the happiness came to an end when a convoy between their bases that Laura had traveled with was destroyed by an IED. In the aftermath of the attack, she emerged with numerous scars from the debris, a gash in the back of her calf, and was diagnosed with PTSD. At 24 years old, 6 years after her active duty began, Laura’s status was changed to Inactive.Her communications with Nate were few and far between until, finally, his tour ended and he returned home. The two finally decided to get married - with Laura keeping her own name - and got an apartment together. Although still recovering, Laura began to pursue further education, this time attending Harvard Law School.It didn’t take long for Laura to become pregnant, and the couple was overjoyed to welcome their son into the world: shaun matthew moon.Of course, Nate was soon called back to duty, and Laura was left at home with her son and occasional visits from her doting parents. It would be months before news finally reached them that Nate had been Killed in Action, but once it did, the effects of the loss became clear in Laura’s behavior.She began disappearing at nights, often to be found at the bottom of a bottle, mourning the love she had so suddenly lost. (I have more details than this, I am not romanticizing alcoholism; it is a complex topic that I don’t have enough space to detail here)Still wholly devoted to her son, however, Laura slowly pulled herself from the depths of her depression, doing her best to care for Shaun while balancing her own occupation as a defense lawyer.}

_{Growing up in the settlement of Quincy was nearly as nice as one would imagine; though it was no Diamond City, there was education, reliable defense, and enough food to support the small population. Laura had her mother, her father, living in an old house, run-down but cozy. Nice as it was, as she grew older, the settlement began to feel restricting; she needed to get out. Around 23 years old, she went on her own, exploring and returning home every couple months to visit. Her last visit was only a week before the gunners attacked. The news only traveled through caravans, which she had begun guarding regularly, so it had been two weeks after the attack when Laura learned of the tragedy. The loss hit her hard and she abandoned her for-hire jobs to drift through the wasteland, simply surviving and leaving a trail of dead gunners in her wake.Throughout her initial travels, Laura had joined up with the Railroad as a heavy. Her family’s death caused her role to lessen, and for a time, she instead acted as a tourist. If Laura joins the Sole Survivor, when not accompanying them, she will continue to act as such. As the plot progresses, she will resume her role as a heavy and occasionally disappear from wherever the Survivor last left her for days at a time. If the Sole Survivor allies with the Institute or Brotherhood, when they are instructed to destroy Railroad’s HQ, they will find Laura present and be forced to kill her or otherwise resolve things. If they have already killed more than half of the Railroad or resume fighting after settling with her, she will attack until killed..}

Their opposites, corrupt descendants of the very same, are the Drazil. Illumnarus come in numerous shapes sizes and colors, but they are all united by a similar glow emanating from beneath their skin. It is akin to a candle flickering in the wind, and stronger in some than others, but a uniting factor all the same.
There is no higher calling for some Illumnarus than that of the Crystalmancer; combining martial and magical ability like no other, it is the Crystalmancer's sacred duty to protect and defend Illumnarus communities, even if it means sacrificing their lives. Charged with divine energy, the Crystalmancer is the bane of all undead and evil outsiders.}What was the Schism?_{The Schism was the separation of the Lluruth into Drazil and Illumnarus as a result of a demon corrupting the civilization, weakening it until their goddess was forced to absorb the corruption into herself, resulting in the creation of the Drazil god.}Items & Places that might come up:_{Llur Elder Staves: an illumnarus artifact, these staves were buried centuries to millennia before the 'modern' world in order to absorb the strengths of the elements. only a few were harvested, as the Schism and troubles that followed prevented any coordination to do so. all elder staffs require attunement by a spellcaster}

HISTORY: Modern

_{Born in New Zealand, Eva’s father was an American citizen who chose to return home. As Eva grew, so did her family, and she soon had two younger sisters, 2 and 4 years younger than her. Living in Montana was far from ideal, however, and despite her love for her family, once she graduated, Eva chose to pursue a military career. She enlisted as a Marine, beginning training at 18 and deployed a year later. For nearly 5 years she continued to tour, returning home between each to visit with her family.}

HISTORY: FALLOUT

_{Born to a wastelander family in the small community of Quincy, Eva King lived as normal a life as she could, following in her father’s footsteps and joining the Minutemen at the age of 16. For nearly 8 years she was happy to help the Commonwealth as best she could, until the events at Quincy took place. She heard of the massacre only peripherally, having been attending to another settlement, but hurried back home … only to find her friends and family dead or gone missing.Believing the Minutemen lost, Eva chose to continue helping those she met as best she could. When news came of the reformation of the Minutemen, she was quick to join up once more, offering her ability and knowledge to the service of the wasteland.}

HISTORY: FAR CRY (private)

_{When Eva returned to her family, she expected to find peace between tours, the calm between the storms- instead, they warned her of the rise of a nearby religious group, the Project at Eden’s Gate, threatening their friends, family and livelihood. The Reaping came on suddenly, but like many others within Hope County, the King family prepared a bunker of supplies and reached out to others of like minds in case the worst came to pass.Living near the center of the County, Eva found herself connected to each of the resistance groups, and easily fell into a role of unique leadership- that of a strategic messenger, ensuring each of the Resistances were coordinated and aware of one another, and providing her knowledge and ability to whomever required it.}

HISTORY

<sub>Parents were born in MY 116 & 112, were 51 & 45 at his birth; the only of their children to be a surprise.
Father (Lucien Verne I) gommaged in Monolith Year 57. His mother (Simone) departed on Expedition 56 the following year.Older siblings:
- Sister (Justine) born in MY 90, parents were 21 & 26 at her birth. Largely the parental figure to Lucien. Gommaged in MY 44 when he was 21.
- Brother (Nicolas) born in MY 87. Parents were 24 & 30 when he was born. The second parental figure for Lucien. Departed on on Expedition 44 after Justine Gommaged, can be found in Yellow Harvest.
- Brother (Cristophe) born in MY 80, Parents were 32 & 36. Gommaged MY 39.
- Sister (Edith) born in MY 79. Departed on Expedition 39. Died on Visages.
- Brother (Michel) born in MY 72. Departed on Expedition 35. Laid the trail in Falling Leaves.Although Lucien was named after his father, few people actually know that he is 'the second'; outside of his older siblings jokingly referring to him as 'junior' even well past their parents' deaths, it is not information widely shared. He supposes that it was an attempt to make him feel connected to the parents he would lose so soon, but ultimately Lucien sees it moreso as a reminder of his birth being a mistake, and one he attempts to make up for in taking down the Paintress.</sub>

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

_{Following the Expedition's destruction at the Dark Shores, Lucien finds himself on the beach nearby the Ancient Gestral City. He makes his way north to the Flying Waters, hoping to find any fellow survivors there or beyond. Tomorrow Comes, after all.When Lune and Gustave find him, Lucien is fleeing from a Demineur and Luster incredibly wounded and not at all subtle in his yelling, "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK -" until he catches sight of the pair and, relieved, summons his sword once more to turn and face the enemies.}

Relationship Quest

_{Lucien asks if they can go back and bury some of the Expeditioners who remain. He doesn't want Maelle (Alicia) to use his brother's Chroma at the least, as he feels it is the last piece he has of any family. and while family is complicated, he's at least selfish enough to hope that maybe Nicolas could find peace rather than being used to fight Renoir.}

_{The spirit of Valor connected to Revanelan has altered her in many ways. More akin to Wynne than Anders, as an abomination, Revan does not find herself ‘taken over’ by the spirit. Instead, it lends its own abilities to her and has intertwined with her soul. If the veil were to fall, there would be severe repercussions as the memories of her past, otherwise held back, returned and the two began to separate.}THE FADE_{Valor’s presence limits her connection to the Fade and magic; each reincarnation has had a differing amount of magical ability, with some even having none at all.Despite having magical ability, when Revan dreams, she does not remember.Additionally, should she be encountered in the Fade as she sleeps, one would notice that she is accompanied by a spirit carrying a sword.While physically in the Fade, she has a faint, purple aura that often manifests like mist in the corner of others’ eyes.}THEDAS_{When near places that the veil is thin, Revan becomes incredibly uncomfortable. Part of this is the sensation of an ‘aura’ much like those that come before migraines, and part of it is the instinctive urge to flee the area.When in battle or other intense situations, superficial wounds heal quickly.Potentially fatal injuries can stabilize for a short period of time. If left untreated, the wounds will still kill her, but they are healed a small amount in order to prevent immediate death.Her sensations will often numb following unexpected pain, making it easier for her to brush it off for a short period.Due to these effects, following any of the given situations, Revan requires time to recuperate, often dealing with the full brunt of whatever injuries she suffered all at once.If her injuries are too severe, she may belatedly go into shock.}
