CHARACTER
Name: Kieran
Info Page/App: Click
Who They Are: A nice young mage! Probably no one important. Definitely not the result of a dark ritual at the end of the last Blight.
Where They've Been: In the last decade, he's spent his time traveling at his mother's side where possible - and living with trusted allies when not. Most of his time has been spent in Orlais and the Marches, but he's seen bits of other countries, as well as plenty of the Crossroads.

If your character was here ten years ago, they might remember Kieran as an NPC living in Kirkwall while his mother worked with Riftwatch. If that's the case, and we haven't already discussed it, please reach out so we can make sure we're on the same page re: what level of awareness of him that was. 😊

What They Want: Honestly, to vibe someplace and have a good time. His goals are far smaller than his mother's - he'd like to travel, do magic in peace, maybe be the witch of some other wilds.

Unfortunately, a continent-spanning war makes this rather more difficult, so he's here to help. Fight a war now, enjoy a long peace - that's his hope.

Plot & CR Desires: At the moment, I'm pretty open to what develops! He's a nice young man whose hair is full of secrets, from "who are your parents" to "why are you so interested in blood magic," and he's slippery about revealing them. If you're interested in Morrigan 2.0: This Time Nicer, I'm sure we can make something interesting happen.

Anything Else: If for whatever reason you'd prefer to opt out of some or all of Kieran's deal, please reply here.

GATHERS KIERAN UP TO GWEN'S BOSOM

well, her sternum, anyway, she didn't grow tits while you were out of the game. i am literally so thrilled about him dove!!! let her show him around her sick baba yaga ass luxury houseboat. she will have surreptitiously picked out a guest room he Can Always Just Use If He Needs It before he steps foot on the thing.

[shiftsandshades]

Things he will DEFINITELY appreciate, tbqh. The vibe of the Gallows is, uh. not his favourite.

[elegiaque]

it doesn’t help it’s literally named the gallows tbh

but he will Always Have A Place etc etc

[reparo]

WELCOME!!! very glad our scandalously revealed ankles convinced you to come over

[shiftsandshades]

Thank you! And tbh I really didn't need any convincing - I first asked about apping Kieran years ago, lmfao. Cannot believe it's now doable.

[wythersake]

cannot believe the game survived long enough that you could make good on this long-standing threat, but i'm THRILLED for it

[shiftsandshades]

honestly I'm also kind of boggling at it, like "what do you mean, I waited long enough that a ten-year-old is now appable"

[aberratic]

hello dove, i am so excited for this!!! i'm nina, and i play d&d rifter ennaris tavane (this journal, info) and Definitely Not A Spy For The Dread Wolf talin shira'nehn (dirthsal, info)! very interested in cr with kieran for both of them!!! welcome to the game!

[shiftsandshades]

Nice to meet you, thank you!

[sprent]

Dove! I'm so excited you're back!! I'd love CR with Kieran, I think he'd be interesting to bounce off all three of mine; we should discuss :V

[shiftsandshades]

I'll be around for it! Excited to write with you again.

[grindset]

oh! it's my friend!! hello!!!

[shiftsandshades]

hello!!! extremely fun to imagine viktor and kieran interacting, we'll need to make this happen ♥

[portalling]

HELLO and welcome, I’m Julie and I am so sooo jazzed to have a Kieran in-game, this is so cool! And also v relevant to my character’s interests, so I’ll dive right in:

Doctor Strange here is a rifter mage, Riftwatch’s Head Healer, and Gwenaëlle’s kept man on the houseboat, so he’s heard Stories from her about Kieran as a ten-year-old but will be very polite and probably not mention it much. (Mostly innocuous stuff, nothing about the old god soul etc, but I can wing it by you just so you know what level of gossip Strange is working from.) So they’ll likely cross paths, and Strange is also distressingly interested in weird magic so he’d love to trade nerdy notes with this prospective witch of the wilds. :’)

I also have a native OC, Astrid Runasdotten brennvin, a cheerful Avvar shimbo & scout who loves animals; less obvious connection there but they’ll prob run into each other eventually.
