I'm only seven episodes in this is what I'm picking up

Every time i purchase a moderately expensive item the Karl Marx on my shoulder is like "For shame... you purchase yet another pair of jeans when you have 5 already at home, you despicable commodity fetishist? In my time, a man with five outfits would consider himself blessed beyond measure, and yet you want for more, while there are children starving in the world??" to which the second Karl Marx on my other shoulder says "Objection! Those 5 pairs of jeans all wildly uncomfortable or have holes in the ass, due to the decline of clothing quality driven by the fast fashion industry, unfortunately making this purchase a necessity... Plus, by purchasing a slightly more expensive pair of jeans from an independent brand, seeking quality over 'brand recognition', they are deliberately trying to avoid engaging in conspicuous consumption!" to which the third Karl Marx clinging to my back like that beetle from Doctor Who says "Remember, my friend; the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. Buy the jeans," to which I say "I don't know if any of you have actually read Karl Marx"

He's a warrior and a bloody good one too

Stanley Pines as a Lord of Fortune from Dragon Age! Part of my Veil Falls AU

Design notes:

Shan'vel Aenadahl, Warrior Reaver, Member of the Lords of Fortune

Shan - Old, Vel - ship/vehicle, Aenadahl - Pine tree

Does not have Vallaslin (wishes he could have gotten it)

Wears Orlesian attire to confuse people about his true background

Took Stanford's name to keep running the "Shack" but isn't 100% trying to pretend to be him as he is well known by other lords

Uses one of Ford's elven artifacts as his cane, doesn't know what it does (currently)

Wears a necklace Ford left behind after being pushed into the Fade, unknown to him if it wields any magical properties

His brass knuckles are from his time in Rivain

Side note: I do want to do a more proper "Lord of Fortune" outfit for him later down the line, but that'll have to be when Veilguard releases and I get my grubby hands on that artbook LOL

Refuge.
