blood, blood everywhere
Welp.

HELLO FINE PEOPLE, IT IS I WILL, ARRIVING LATE AT THE PARTY, AS USUAL.

I bring you the second Blood Mage of the game, Astraea, no last name, she's like Cher, or Madonna. Astra here was raised by her mother Eos in the privacy of the woods of the Free Marches, where she learned all about being her own person and not shying away from liquefying her foes. A 100% true Apostate, homegirl has never seen the inside of a Circle and overall thinks that almost all mages are fools and that magic is just a tool to be used. Demons? Perish the thought, she's her own person, she's hella powerful and Blood Magic is the one true magic, because fuck the Fade, amirite?

Pictured: her winning personality

This is gonna be great, you guys.

Astraea has been in Nevarra for a little over a year now. She has connections with the Carta, who uses her for assassinations that they don't want to look a lot like such. Or when they want to leave only a puddle of blood, she's versatile like that. Her "day job" is that of a fortune teller, which is profitable enough but where's the fun on that? She has a lifetime of experience on giving the templars the slip, but she'll be joining the Grey Wardens eventually. Soon. I don't know, she's kind of loud and too comfortable with herself for her own good.

ANYWAY I NEED ALL THE LINES??? CLIENTS, ASSOCIATES, FRIENDS, ENEMIES, FWB, THE WORKS. She values strength and confidence, so even if she doesn't like someone she can respect them, just like she does her mom.

AND I'M SO SLEEPY SO SEE YOU IN SIX HOURS. Will out.

Hihi~ I'm Vicki and I have my three:

Midha (

cloudgazer) is probably the most relevant. She hasn't run with the Carta for almost a decade now and in fact recently made it a Strong Point she wants nothing to do with them anymore. That won't stop her from associating with Carta types necessarily, as long as she's fairly certain they won't try to kill her. So idk if Carta is necessarily a good tie BUT if Astraea's going to be a Grey Warden, then I have this lady dwarf for you! (she won't be fussed about the blood magic tbh, though she IS superstitious so the fortune telling could add an interesting dynamic~) Possible FWB??? We can see how they mesh together?

Sorin (

sunnyelf) wouldn't seek out fortune telling since unlike Midha he is NOT superstitious, and the blood magic ahahahaha oh boy, he. Wouldn't like that. At all. He's Andrastian and his boyfriend(s) (eventually will be plural, right now it is singular, it's complicated XD) are from Tevinter and have Issues and Traumas with blood magic PLUS he's a squishy marshmallow so... ;;;;;; BUT! If Astraea goes shopping for clothes at Reha's store, he's just been hired as a manager there, so maybe?

Alia (

stetistis), not really sure either. She might seek out the fortune-telling just Because and really would be interesting in buying things if it'll piss off her mother? Because lbr it would piss off her mother SO MUCH. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut the blood magic will turn her off completely because she's Andrastian, and while heretical literature interests her (sometimes even tickles her), she uh. No to blood magic. ;;;;;;;;

Midha.- Astra would put her doubts to rest quickly enough, since her affiliations to the Carta are out of mutual convenience, not so much loyalty or active membership. Also hellooo sexy lady, Astra loves them of all sizes and races, as long as they've got spunk. Or at least she can be a regular to her fortune telling biz.

Sorin.- LMAO is it bad that I want to throw her at all the people that would go berserk on her? LET HER TELL YOU HOW COOL IS BLOOD MAGIC, people need to understand that not all mages are suckers for demons, or at least just not her.

Alia.- If she wants to piss her family off, Astra could probably help. And unless they are stuck on a fight or something she won't show her magic, promise.

Not sure if Midha is quite that superstitious to be a regular, she'll probably go to see her as a fortune teller maybe once or twice just to see what it's all about, but at least the Carta won't be an issue between them, then. :D And yes, we can see about fwb then since lol, Midha's got your spunk. If nothing else, there's always the Wardens too~ (Forgot to mention, but if Midha's not Wardening she's usually drinking and gambling at whatever random pub, so that's probably another connect!)

tbh Sorin wouldn't necessarily go berserk on her, most likely he'll just go from friendly cheerful ^_^ to cold >:| in under a second the instant he finds out she's a blood mage. Which could be interesting??? I doubt he'd ever learn to like her if she reveals herself to him, but he could use more antagonistic lines? XD Though if we connect these two, we'll just have to be careful, because Lev is kind of a Very Important part of his life (and one of the top reasons he'd probably never warm up to her post-revelation). XDDDDDD;;;;

Haha, mostly it's just her parents she wants to piss off since she likes her extended family well enough, but yessssss. And depending on how Astra's and Cas's CR goes once she joins the Wardens, that could add an interesting layer too?

	Lmao that's probably the best possible advertisement for going Warden, fight all day, drink all night, get some on the side. IDK IDK let's thread carefully. YES I figure she'll like Cas enough, so that's a good connection to get them off to a good start, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If only it was enough for Midha to buy into being a Grey Warden thing though. XDDDDD The woes of a conscript, but she's coming around??? XD Yes, let's do~ <3 We can find some way for them to meet prior to her becoming a Warden, too. ^_^ Not that Alia gets out of the palace often, but there's always something~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think Astra's joining willingly because I can't see her taking conscription without a fight. How "public" is the palace? (Reply to this) (Parent)
