ai Trevelyan never intended to have a complicated life, but Fate apparently had other ideas...

Overview

Physical Appearance

Kai Trevelyan has black hair (or would have if he didn't shave his head) and dark grey eyes. He's not what one would call classically handsome, but makes up for it in intensity.

Personality

Kai is a powerful and talented mage with a dry wit and an ongoing coffee addiction. Intense and clever with a surprisingly prosaic streak, he's as much a magic nerd as his amatus, Dorian. He insists on wearing all black, has a fondness for schlocky adventure novels, probably drinks too much beer, and when he gets angry he sulks.

Talents and Skills

  • Kai is, as mentioned, a highly talented mage and has put a great deal of time, practice and study into improving his craft.
  • He's a good writer  — unless the writing in question is a letter to his parents, in which case his ability plummets to that of a sulky twelve-year-old. That physical ability took a serious hit when he lost the  arm, as he's left-handed.
  • Kai is an excellent dancer, thanks in part to his parents insisting he take dancing lessons as a boy.
  • As well as being adept at negotiation (through what Dorian calls "relentless decency"), he's actually a nice man. Who happens to be very good at killing things.

Biography

History

Born in 9:06 Dragon to Bann Emil and Lady Jasia Trevelyan, Kai was their first, and for twelve years, only child. He came to his magic late at twelve and a half, and managed to keep it hidden for over half a year. Taken to the Ostwick Circle at thirteen, he proved to be both powerful and talented, passing his Harrowing only four years later. Aside from the training, he hated being locked up in the Circle, and when the mage-templar war finally provided the opportunity (eighteen years after he was brought there), he walked away from the Circle to try and construct a life for himself.

For the full story of Kai's pre-game history, see the fics "Departures" and "Echoes".

In-game

  • Allied with the mages
  • Emphatically denied being chosen by Andraste
  • Romanced Dorian, got him to try to reconcile with his father
  • Banished the Wardens for their own safety (though he really didn't expect all of southern Thedas to consider that a permanent decision)
  • Made Celene, Gaspard and Briala play nice together
  • Drank from the Well of Sorrows, which would turn out to have long-lasting repurcussions
  • Made Livius Erimond Tranquil 
  • Supported Cassandra as Divine despite being a non-believer
  • Pledged to stop Solas
  • Disbanded the Inquisition

Post-game

The story of what happened with Kai (and Dorian) post-game starts here.

Relationships

Blackwall: Kai liked the gruff soldier and continued to have a good relationship with him even after his revelation.

Cassandra: Though he's a non-believer who despises just about everything having to do with the Chantry, they get along remarkably well, in part because they both have a strongly practical streak and are able to put aside their differences.

Cole: Encouraged him to become more human. He liked Cole well enough, but didn't spend a lot of time with him, as he had little to say to him and Cole's ability to read him made him slightly uncomfortable.

Cullen: He likes Cullen, but is a little distant from him due to Cullen's history as a Templar. He respects Cullen and values his opinions, but rarely hung around with him socially.

Dorian: Kai and Dorian were attracted to one another practically from the moment they met, though developing a proper relationship took quite a bit longer. Kai shares and delights in Dorian's wit, magical ability, intellectual curiosity and...well, deep down they're both huge magic nerds. Kai's determination that they were going to maintain their relationship despite whatever social, cultural or physical roadblocks existed impressed and touched Dorian deeply, and led him to work just as hard for it.

Iron Bull: Kai likes and trusts the big Qunari, understanding just how canny he really is. He respects Bull's experience and his opinions, and enjoys his company. He let Bull decide the fate of the Chargers, though he did encourage him to choose them over the Qun, and though they lost touch after the Inquisition, he still considers Bull a friend. 

Josephine: While they're fond of each other, Kai's stubborness and lack of concern about some aspects of diplomacy and protocol sometimes aggravate her. The situation worsened in the two years leading up to the Exalted Council and eventual disbanding of the Inquisition as Kai grew increasingly impatient with the diplomatic side of his duties and increasingly uninterested in continuing as Inquisitor. 

Miscellaneous

What else happened, or what else can you tell us about Your OC, bruh? Think of things like likes, dislikes, fears, strengths and weaknesses, etc. This is as close as you'll get to being able to word-vomit about your OC while keeping the article organized and will probably be the longest section. Feel free to add sub-headings as necessary with sub-heading 2:
