General info

• Officially this is a Dragon Age rp blog for the Warden but lately there’s been a lot of Mass Effect, so if you don’t want to see that simply block ‘v: mass effect;’ or don’t follow at all.
• OC friendly, as long as there’s info about the character on your blog.
• Banter, para, multi-para, icons, all are fine.
• I only rp with mutuals (for my own sake).
• I may be selective with threads and sometimes even asks, I am human after all. However, I swear I will reply to out thread and answer your asks, you just have to be patient… I can be extremely slow.

Shipping

• I am shipping trash and I really love shipping.
• Chemistry. If you think our characters might have a chance please do send an ask and we’ll see where it goes.
• Smut is a maybe, leaning towards no. This is a personal preference and I hope you can respect it. Also, I will definitely not smut with people I don’t talk with ooc or I am comfortable with.
• My muse is bisexual and a very sexual person and flirts a fucking lot, so just because she flirts it doesn’t mean that I’m trying to force ship.
• I am exclusive when it comes to shipping. What does this mean? If I start shipping with, let’s say an Alistair or a Morrigan, I will only ship with that version of said character. I will roleplay with other versions of the character, but no shipping will be involved. This can be done for PC’s as well, but only if it’s requested by a mun. 

Tagging

• I track the tag ‘daggersandpoison’
• All threads will be tagged with the verse they’re set in, or v: undetermined; or crack;
• I tag common triggers with tw: trigger
• I have no triggers (just some stuff that makes me slightly uncomfortable), so you don’t have to worry about that.

Starters

• I don’t write greeters.
• Feel free to reply to my opens whenever you want, just search through the tag and pick whichever you like.
• If we’re mutuals feel free to tag me in random starters whenever you want. Seriously just do it, it’ll make my day 10 time better.

Follow/Unfollow policy

• I follow only blogs that I want to rp with or blogs that post content that I will reblog.
• I will unfollow if you have been inactive for more than a month (and there’s no hiatus notice). If you come back I will most likely see you on my dash and follow you again.

Contact.

• Via askbox or fanmail.
• Or via skype (send an ask and you shall receive)

Detailed description: Fit, hourglass body. She is a little bit muscular and her back muscles are the most toned due to her archery training.Thick, wavy hair which is rather wild. She usually doesn’t let it grow past chest length. Full lips that are usually painted with red, almond shaped eyes, fair skin and a small nose.

Personality:

Flirty, has a sarcastic nature and big mouth that may get her in trouble sometimes, adventurous, doesn't mind killing bastards that deserve it (or she thinks they deserve it), has a kind and good heart for the children, poor people or simply innocent people who can't do anything to protect themselves. Can be quite vengeful, isn't patient at all, usually messy, tries to listen to her rational thoughts but in occasionally she will end up listening to her feelings. Full of life, can't stand betrayal.

Background:

Born in the Cousland family, the youngest child, Kayli, cannot say many things were missing from her life. She had a happy childhood, with two loving parents and a brother that would annoy her from time to time. When she was 13 she began her training with daggers and it didn’t take too long before she knew how to handle dual weapons. A few years later she decided to pick up the bow and some arrows as well.

When she was 18 suitors started to appear, yet she refused them or simply spent a night and/or flirted with them a little before doing so. She wasn’t interested in an arranged marriage, but it didn’t mean that she didn’t want to fall in love one day and make sure that she would marry whomever she wanted.

She was 22 when the Blight began and her family was murdered by Arl Howe. Being a Warden wasn’t something she thought that would happen, but the offer did seem tempting… she just wished it didn’t happen the way it did. Kayli got her revenge, and she thought she would sleep easier after that, but she didn’t. She knew that only once she would clean up the mess Howe left in Highever she would be able to leave some of it behind.

Later she finds out that her daughter is a mage but sending her to the Circle was definitely not an option.

v: teryna of highever;

Teyrna of Highever

Age: 23

Without Duncan there, Kayli had barely managed to escape with Ser Gilmore's help. They found a small village where the stayed until Kayli's wounds were properly healed and then started to look for Fergus. Eventually they found out that he had died in the Korcari Wilds, but some of Highever's soldiers were still alive. In the following months Kayli managed to get enough soldiers and support from some minor nobles (mostly relatives) to take back Highever.

Once all of Howe's men were dead, Bryce and Eleanor received a proper funeral and Kayli became the teyrna. She also sent a message to Howe 'If you wish to lose more of your men, feel free to send them here. But I think you would rather keep them alive, considering the Blight and the Civil War. P.S. I'd start counting my days if I were you.'

She is present at the Landsmeet and is first encountered outside Eamon's estate before 'Rescue the Queen' where she tells the Warden that they will have her support in the Landsmeet as long as Howe ends up dead. After that she can be found at the tavern.

Verse can be altered for Warden!Kayli, companion!Kayli or if your muse is a Cousland warden.

v: let it burn;

Apostate AU

Kayli found out she had magic at the age of 7.

Kayli also had a teacher (Eva) who taught her how to fight with daggers among a few other things.

A month before the events at Ostagar the templars found out about her and came to Highever to take her, luckily for her Duncan was in Highever at the time and recruited her. A month later she found out about Howe's betrayal and swore she would avenge her family and find Fergus.

v: fire and blades;

I’ll start with the basics. My name is Alexandra (call me Alex), I’m 18 and obviously a girl.

English is my second language, so if I make any grammar mistakes, typos, etc. please tell me. I want to improve my English as much as possible and this would help me a lot. 

I’ve been roleplaying for about 3 years and writing for 4, more if you count the stories I was writing in the 4th grade.

I try to keep this blog roleplay exclusive only (will reblog muse related stuff as well).

My timezone is GMT+2 (GMT+3 during the summer), in case you wanted to know.

I’m really friendly, but also pretty shy so if you want to roleplay or talk to me please tell me because I’ll most likely be too scared to do it.

One more thing, I am from Romania, so if you’re romanian or at least speak romanian, I would love to have a thread with you (of course only if you want to) in romanian cause I seriously need to work on my writing skills in romanian. Doar trimite un mesaj şi voi fi la dispoziţia ta :)

Extra sidenotes:

I am willing to roleplay threads in which: Loghain is alive, Anora is queen, someone else is Warden Commander. I am very flexible when it comes to the Landsmeet decisions mostly because Kayli's final decision was the result of her flipping a coin.

Also about the Landsmeet decision on this page. It is not my canon one, I decided to add this one here for roleplay purposes. My canon is: Alistair becomes king, Kayli remains his mistress. If you want we can roleplay with this decision as canon in our thread/threads. But note that I will not ship if we use this in our thread~
