!intro

finally vicki brings in her second~
Hi all! It's Vicki, puppetmistress of Midha (cloudgazer) with my second character FINALLY. Now you can stop hearing me babble cryptically about theoretical mystery character~

This is Sorin Ghrian, a 25-year-old Warrior/Guardian city elf who is a happy, optimistic sort of person. He prefers to always look on the bright side of life when possible. He used to be a dockworker for a short while until he was caught in the middle of a skirmish when he was 19 years old, and partially due to systematic racism when the parties involved were getting their injuries treated, he lost right arm from just below the elbow. So he kind of doesn't work on the docks any longer, not because anyone thinks the skirmish is his fault because it 1000% wasn't, but because, well, people are dicks about hiring people with disabilities, especially if they're minorities, lbr. :(

But! He does work for a local fashion store, Brouillard's Clothiers, whose owner is charitable to elves and where he discovered his inner fashion passion. He also trains in the sword and shield on the down-low with his friend, Nikolas Caelestis, who is also a dockworker and has a vaguely Orlesian accent, hm~. Sorin is also better educated than you might expect despite the lack to a decent education: one of his mothers works for a local noble (unspecified in case someone wants to claim her as one of their servants~) and so she taught him how to read and write, and the other is an entertainer/waitress in the Alienage tavern and she taught him how to sing, dance, and play the piano and flute (though he doesn't play the flute anymore). But don't ask him about more complicated things, like politics. Everything he knows is rumors and hearsay and he's kind of naive about Life besides. ;;;

Full bio here!

Possible Lines (definitely not a limiting list!!): Elves from all walks of life (he has such a romanticized view of the Dalish, guys, destroy that or reinforce that at your whim~)! Customers at Brouillard's (mostly serves wealthier clientele admittedly)! People who frequent taverns and pubs who have no problems serving elves (Sorin hates alcohol but he likes the multiracial camaraderie to be found at these places)! Other fashion lovers to share in his passion! Men to flirt at him and see him just stop knowing how to function! Orlesians, especially who are/were Chevaliers, especially nobility, especially those who are from or have connections to Val Chevin, or people who might know things you can know something Sorin doesn't know about Nikolas, I'll email you for deets~ ANYTHING, ALL THE THINGS!

Excited to finally have my Elf Boy here~

Sorin definitely pays attention to regulars, so if Pilar is one, then he'll know her tastes and can help her accordingly!

If Asmund flirts, yeah, Sorin will completely malfunction. He is attracted to men pretty exclusively which is why he's such a mess at flirting with them or knowing how to react when they flirt with him. So it could be a lulzy time all around~. He himself doesn't drink alcohol but he'll go to the taverns for non-alcoholic drinks (most commonly water, because free/cheapest thing), so we can toss them together there! Otherwise, Sorin will be at the Grey Warden tourney because Reasons (not competing or volunteering himself) so he can watch Asmund's match against Cas!!

Ahahaha, fair enough Sabrina~ and I think Reha and Sorin will be becoming friendly with each other at some point so at the very least we can connect that way once that happens?? He might be wary about the whole "mage from Tevinter" thing because Rumors, but Sabrina could easily win him over with fashion talk and as long as she's not racist at him, he'll like her plenty and see her as proof that See Even Tevinters Aren't That Bad (which, you know, lulz????)

XDDDDDDDDDD work smarter not harder, a life lesson Sorin needs so badly tbh!!!!!

Yuuuuup, yup. She will do so and likes your personality :)))

Bahaha. Well, if you think it'd be funnier for them to meet post-tourney I am all for massive whaaaaaaat and such. We can always start writing early. He won't think less of ya for not drinking alcohol. Asmund is such a sweetheart. He's very easy to just... buy someone a drink, make sure they get home safe, etc etc.

Ha, yes. I mean, Sabrina can be... thoughtlessly racist? But like, she doesn't go stomp on people for the sake of it. She's neutral evil, so she has to get something out of it. And she's good with acting noice and stuff as a default. Also she <3s Ilshae a bit XD But him working on clothes, just like... that's what all the elves she knows back home do. So why even blink.

Inge could always work him as a contact to learn about others? But honestly, it's not her job to make him smarter >> Also she gonna die bc npc.

And Sorin will 100% love her too <333333

I'm down for either thing!! If we do the tourney thing, we can definitely prelog it. Or we can do something prior to the tournament and then also do a mini thing at the tourney??? Idk I am open to all things so lmk!!

I don't know if Sorin has anything really to offer Sabrina one way or another because well city elves be slumming and such. But fashion is an easy way to connect to him and she can definitely mess with his sense of trust, too, kekekekeke. As mentioned, he prefers to see the good in everything and everyone, because yeah everyone has their flaws and their reasons for why they might be the way they are. So I think chances are good he'll like her ^_^

He could do that! I mean rich people are the clientele he interacts with, and sometimes even in the ghetto there are rumors and gossip that might be useful. Depending on how Inge phrases the questions she can get the info; he won't willingly or knowingly betray information, but being a guileless sort he can be tricked?? Because wise to the way of politics, and he is not. ;;;;;
