CHARACTER
Name: Vandren Verminius
Info Page/App: Click
Who They Are: A Tevene War Mage with dazzling blue eyes and a heart of gold. Also: a burnout, provocateur, liar, and all-around hot mess.
Where They've Been: Various war fronts, primarily fighting against the Qunari near the coast but shifting south with Tevinter's attention in recent years. Characters may have crossed paths with him in battles past.
What They Want: An end to the Venatori, but mainly to feel like he's contributed meaningfully to that end before he dies.
Plot & CR Desires: I love mess. This man has noble intentions but is used + abused and will cause problems on purpose. TDM threads can be canon and I'm game to discuss other pre-existing CR.
Anything Else: Rode in to surrender on a white dracolisk like a real Disney princess.

I'm thrilled you're back in general but also if you don't give me past cr I'm taking your cat

[verminius]

REALLY twisting my arm here, I think my main question would be is it pure hate or hate but in kind of like a fun way where they smile at each other and think fondly upon treacheries past.

[boeric]

I think the latter sounds funny let's vaguely allude to Past Incidents and beef no one else understands

[verminius]

Alright I like this very much thank you. We can DM about details, I'd imagine at minimum there's been some overlap interacting with rebels in the north.

[elegiaque]

i’m prrrrobably going to intro athénaïs in the mod plot and preclude keeping tdm threads but i’m extremely excited for vandren so i want new canon game threads, thank u

also would be into him and gwen having crossed battle paths!!! petra is so much of an indoor cat it’s probably unlikely for her, but gwen has been out here in these streets.

[verminius]

Yes please, if he crosses enough battle paths I believe he can legally qualify for infamy.

We will make new 2025 threads!! I haven't yet decided if I am going to do an arrival thing or just have him existing and blending into current events as if he hopes no one notices it's weird for him to be there, most likely the latter.

[overharrowed]

Welcome back! I don't have any immediate ideas for past CR with mine, but would be delighted to get some future CR. Can't wait for him to really irritate Julius, at a minimum.

[altusimperius]

TDM thread canon please + thank you

also welcome back >:U

[elegiaque]

if you’re gonna be an ex venatori member of riftwatch, why NOT also be infamous??? i also had an NPC who was a recently deceased venatori spy who was 90% working in kirkwall but traveled for his Fake Job (‘trade’) to do his Real Job (‘war crimes’) who vandren could have crossed paths with. not a mage, bitter about it, enjoyed going a little native in the south (where he wasn’t constantly surrounded by cool mages who were higher ranking than him) and was problematically slutty. idk how that would ever be that relevant or matter but You Never Know.

into the latter!!

[corpsestuff]

Hey, old man CR would be awesome.

[portalling]

Hi and welcome back! I’m Julie with Doctor Strange here, who has a worrying fascination with Tevene magical innovations & practices, so he will be soooo Very Interested in Vandren’s background; specifically he’s also got a lil task to learn more about Harrowing rituals in other cultures so he might barge in and bug the man with some questions right off the bat once he’s around. Sry in advance, Vandren.

[dissolving]

alais is going to come back to life to murder them both again

[aberratic]

welcome back!! i'm nina, here with two ocs, this rifter sorcerer ennaris tavane, who'll be cautiously intrigued by a venatori turncoat, and a dalish definitely-not-an-agent-of-fen'harel named talin at dirthsal! i've heard great things about you and your characters and i'm very excited to have you back in the game!

oh, almost forgot—ness is a telepath, and has some mind control magic she's still growing into. obviously, i don't want to use that on characters without player permission, so if you could respond to her permissions post, i'd appreciate it!

[verminius]

Thank you I'm glad to return! Terrorizing responsible southern mages was an impetus in me deciding to go ahead and app so COUNT ON IT.

[verminius]

Yes of course perfect thank you + thank you.

[verminius]

IA it's the best kind.

[verminius]

Hi hello thank you! Vandren will be pleased/interested to meet a mage of culture who isn't from around here + happy to answer questions constructively he is a helper. It's feeling likely that I may have him crash in via the upcoming Nevarra plot since that'd make linking up with RW operations a little easier.

[verminius]

THANK YOU glad to be back in my worst form yet + glad to hear that I am cool. Appreciate the permissions post note, Vandren will dislike being pried into but I think it sounds pretty great + it is what he deserves.

[cozen]

Welcome back Rock!!! I am excited to play with this guy with all of my guys but especially with Redvers my middle-aged Templar who desperately needs friends, enemies, and frenemies who have perspectives from outside the Southern Mage/Templar Conflict Binary. Look to my coming at first light on the fiftieth day.

[verminius]

I mean you know I love a good friend but what I really love is a good enemy or frenemy. I will look to the east. Ever-present Templars will definitely be the worst part of Riftwatch for this innocent mage.

[altusimperius]

also failed to add: Vandren + mom & dad Artemaeus are almost certainly familiar with each other as entities even if they didn't hang out, since they're a prominent Minrathous magister family (who in somewhat recent years have been hard at work covering the scandal that is their Stupid Fucking Heir defecting to the South)

but they can be buddies with his ex if you like, maybe even helped get them on board with the Venatori

[succise]

ROCKKKK. Hi it's cadence

I have a tevene mage too and she's a normal girl :) they should talk.

[laruetheday]

Hiii welcome back!!

hey uhhh quick question, are you gonna be keeping that dracolisk in the eyrie? = clarisse's initial reaction to his appearance

[verminius]

hi cadence yes please table tor two

[verminius]

Hi hello thank you!

It's not a flying dracolisk so safe bet he left it on the other side of the harbor in the stables rather than ride it across on the ferry although that would be very dashing of him.

[verminius]

reply-guying to add a link with an opening for question bugging.

[verminius]

sure that sounds interesting, i think this Bad Person in general is very well connected and then vandren less so but still somewhat by proxy.

ALSO log for possible intake interview purposes here!

[verminius]

is this the guy that blew up the gallows

/barbie covering mouth

regardless vandren could've known him sure we love a good war crime in this house.

[mournwitch]

surprisingly no - he was mostly involved in repeated (failed) schemes to get riftwatch or flint on the hook for slave trade (successfully did abduct and sell kirkwall elves, did not manage to tie it to riftwatch) and then had to project manage some boring mage stuff that GOT HIM KILLED, RIP. he enjoyed pretending to be a rich southerner it was a blast. vandren welcome to have done drugs at one of his definitely work related orgies.

[verminius]

wildly presumptive of you to believe vandren does or has done drugs but yes that sounds great

[mournwitch]

these icons im making are absolutely of a man who has done drugs

[verminius]

actual backstory

[laruetheday]

sooo dashing

[portalling]

BELATEDLY ZOOMS TO and also goes to add u
