Branka Herself Is Also A Fucked Up Solar Obviously - Tumblr Posts
Got bored and decided I'd do an actual entry for Oghren, even though I hate him for being a bigoted loser.
Seeing as he was once a fairly traditional Dwarven warrior and noble, I think he could be a fit for an Earth Aspect Dragon Blooded. But that's the boring option. I think that the more interesting option is Oghren exalting as a Dawn Caste Solar during his younger years, back when he was a warrior of great talent and renowned throughout Dwarven society, just for him to eventually become an embarrassment and loser because he couldn't handle his Twilight wife Branka showing him up and growing distant from him. Also, I just really like the idea of a Solar no longer being able to live up to their station because of internal turmoil.
I've recently been thinking about what kind of Exalts the Dragon Age Origins companions would be, so I decided to make a post about it. (And yes, this is inspired by the recent Dungeon Meshi/Exalted posts)
Alistair was hard for me to pin down, but he kind of gives me Fire Aspect Dragon Blooded vibes. Obviously a Lost Egg/Outcaste because of his backstory, but also because his ass is absolutely not built for Dynast high society.
Morrigan is absolutely a No Moon Lunar. She's a shapeshifting sorcerer who grew up outside of "civilized" society and is into magic deemed forbidden; very strong Lunar vibes.
Leliana is definitely a Night Caste Solar, girl was/is a spy and is an idealist who is absolutely dedicated to trying to make the world a better place. Classic Night Caste material.
Zevran is a Wood Aspect Dragon Blood. He's an assassin who enjoys the thrill of the kill, sex, and the other pleasures of life. Also an Outcaste like Alistair.
Sten gave me a bit of trouble at first, but then I realized that he's absolutely an Earth Aspect Dragon Blooded. A mostly stoic warrior who clings to the traditions of his people and believes those ways are the best.
Wynne, with all her tales and attempts at guidance, gives me Adamant Caste Alchemical Vibes.
Oghren is gross, and I hate him, so he doesn't get to be an Exalt.
Shale was impossible for me to pin down tbh, so I'm gonna be lazy and say that she would be an Exigent of some sort. Probably chosen by the God of Pigeon Killing.
Loghain is 100% an Azimuth Caste Infernal. He's a victim of war, suffering atrocities at the hands of the Orlesians occupying his homeland, who later helped free Fereldan from Orlais, and then later let his understandable hatred of Orlais blind him and ended up becoming a tyrant himself. (Though he would also make a good Dawn Caste Solar.)
Honestly, Loghain is a pretty good example of how an Infernal can be a hero and later a villain imo.
Hopefully, this post finds anyone else who is both a fan of Exalted and Dragon Age.
