I have always found myself drawn to elves. Lord of the Rings, D & D, I always play elves. City Elf was my first charater, however I finished my Human female Noble first. I do love the couslands, especially Bryce. He reeks of pure awesomeness.



However, the CE origin is first in my heart. FOr some reason, it plays better as a female. I adored Shianni from the moment I met her, I really felt for her. I was so hopeful at the wedding with Nelaros, imagine my shock when he dies looking for you. I had to decaptiate that guard... Grrrr.... I really felt for Cyrion too, he lost his wife, then loses his only child. Sucky life for him. he also seems like he would be more accepting of my Tabris and Alistair. He doesn't look like he's stuck on race issues, even if his niece has been raped by a noble shem, or that his wife was killed by some humans. and no one tells you anything of how she died, so I assumed Adaia and little Kallian were attacked on their way home, and Adaia sacrifices herself so her daughter can get away. My Tabris has a head full of issues, Alistair really had to work to earn her trust. My next CE playthrough, Alistair will not be king! I'm taking him to my new Warden Arling, and making some Theirin babies. Let Anora have the throne, she can't have the templar, he's all mine.



My Mage was a ball of fury. I had a male Elven mage, Alim. I'm not very orignial with the names, but I liked Alim, so I kept it. He had been represed too long, first in the Alienage, then ripped from his family by the Templars, then confined to the tower... and after all that the only two friends he made, one betryaed him with Blood Magic, and the other wanted him dead after he saved him. Psht, what ever. I had him make a deal with Connor's demon, he was a blood mage/Arcane warrior, who sacrified Wynne and the tower for the templars. (I needed the achievement) but it made sense with this charater. He was POed by this time. It hurt me to kill Wynne though, I do love her so much. My mage also romanced Morrigan, the more I find out about her, the more I adore her. And oh yes, he will be taking the dark ritual. I want my demon god baby! If I will kill Ali or just make him stay on the throne with Anora... I haven't disided yet. I just wish you had the option of going with morrigan, and keeping her safe while she carrys your son.



My Dalish warden I play as female, I might do a male one later, haven't disided. Lyna is a rouge, just like my Tabris (I love rouges). I find myself in the Tamlen was more than her friend, in my mind they were to be bonded. I haven't gotten too far in this playthrough yet, so I haven't seen the tamlen reuionion. She will be romancing Zevran. I love that antivian! I also think it would fit her charter, she wouldn't be all mushy and pounce on the shemlen king, no matter how handsome he is. It's just not in her nature. And now that I know Zev is part dalish.... ohhhh joy! my last CE romanced him just to spite alistair, I was not happy about being dumped because of the throne. Zev is really deep, and there is much more to his charater than being a man hoe.



I haven't gotten good shots of my wardens yet, I'm on the xbox, I will try and snapshot some, the quality won't be as good, but I do want to show off my wardens.

People in the CE origin refer to Adaia being a troublemaker and you when Cyrion talks about how he wishes your mother was there on your wedding day, you can mention that guards killed her...likely for being a troublemaker. The posters in the Alienage say 'elves that carry a sword will die on one' and Adaia did carry a sword after all.



I'm inclined to think, though he'd probably come around, that he wouldn't be thrilled about you with a human. He does go through all the effort of specifically finding a groom/bride from Highever so you'll settle down with a nice elf and have elf babies (though he recognizes that this isn't likely once you get conscripted) and humans are responsible for pretty much all of his problems.

My "canon" Warden (one of them, anyway; there's another possible one who's a dwarf commoner) is an elf mage who has major issues with the Chantry; she wants to see the elves get their old homeland back and wants the mages to receive their independence (sometimes, she wonders if having the magisters of the Tevinter Imperium back might not be what she really wants)... the person she'd be the closest to ever, I think, is Velanna, but she's currently romancing Zevran because I didn't have a convincing reason as to why she'd go for Leliana.

I suppose I've lurked this thread long enough to finally post, yes?

My first and favorite origin is the City Elf. I found it the most emotionally engaging and felt genuine affection for Kallian's family, which doesn't happen often for me in games--- Oh who am I kidding? I bloody adored Shianni and Soris! Favorite NPC's of all time. I will never cease to gush over them. Especially Shianni, because she's, well, Shianni. I'm sure you all know what I mean. Image IPB

I didn't really know what was going to happen, so when I reached the end I was... seething. To put it mildly. Very mildly. My only regret on that origin is that it lacked a proper cutscene in killing Vaughan. I wanted something like Loghain's execution.

To bring back the topic of DE's parents from a page or two ago, I always RPed for my M!Mahariel that his mother was the daughter of her clan's keeper (who did not like Papa Keeper one bit). I like to think that his father was perhaps a bit young and many questioned his competence. When the DE's mother disappeared, her father, in his grief, blamed Mahariel and refused all contact with that clan. Makes a very sad story, and a very tense Arlathven.

I do wish that I could merge the mage story with the familial elements in the CE origin, as they make it one of my favorite stories to play through.

In the really big fanfic I'm writing, my Suranna was taken from the orphanage by the templars at a young age. She's from the Alienage in Denerim and remembers certain people and things (ie the 'really big tree').

Since the mage origin is the only one where we have no idea at all about the PC's family, I have a lot of fun making up different stuff. For my goody-goody mage Wardens I like to think that they are from a nice big family with mommy and daddy and lots of brothers and sisters. For my angstier Wardens I imagine that it was just them and their mother who depended on her young child more than a mother probably should after her husband died/left. After the child was discovered to be a mage and taken away she left Denerim and was never heard from again. :(

 On the subject of Cyrion's approval of his son/daughter falling in love with a human … I have thought about this matter myself, as my male CE rogue ultimately romanced Leliana and I wondered how Cyrion would react. In the end, I think he would be shocked to hear of it, but I think he would ultimately be accepting of the relationship.

For one thing, Cyrion is a very kind and accepting man who doesn't seem to bear any grudge towards humans. Yes, it was humans who killed Adaia and who tried to enslave him, but I think he resents the individuals that committed those crimes, not the race.

For another, the bias against "flat-ears" exists because elves who mate with humans produce human children. That is not as much an issue for a Grey Warden, who is unlikely to ever father/bear children.

Finally, circumstances beyond anyone's control took his child from the alienage. Otherwise, he/she would have gotten married and had a child. The CE can hardly be blamed for meeting someone else and falling in love; it's just how things happened.

As for Adaia, I would like to think she'd approve, especially after playing through Leliana's Song. (How strange it is to think that my CE character would end up with the woman who saved his mother from Harwen Raleigh's dungeons. Would you call something like that "fate"?)

^Speaking of Adaia and Leliana, I'm a little confused on how the timeline works out. How many years is it supposed to precede origins? Two? Five? Did it even really happen? Leliana's Song is different than from what she tells the Warden in-game, so I wonder which version of her past is true? (I think I read somewhere that it was originally supposed to be in Orlais, but time constraints blah blah blah, ya'll know how it goes)

When it comes to flat-ears: the Dalish call all non-Dalish flat-ears, and CE's call elves who leave the alienage and try to live among humans flat-ears because they've abandoned/forgotten what it means to be elven or somesuch. Mage elves are the odd one out and probably don't care. They've been within the Circle their entire lives.

How many years was Leliana in Lothering? The ending of the DLC suggests that she entered the Chantry not long afterwards.

Adaia makes reference to "her child" in LS, but gives no indication of his/her age. I assume the CE was a young teen at that point. Vaughan himself sounds like a young teen in the DLC; he has to be old enough to smack around servants, after all. (class act, that boy.)

Whether or not LS Is canon is up for debate. Because Leliana is narrating the story, she could be dressing up the story of her origins, something she admits at the end could be the case. Or she could be telling the truth and the version of events she gave the Warden in Origins is basically a lie. Myself, I accept the latter, but I guess it's up to each of us to decide how "truthful" LS actually is.

I'm pretty sure it's said somewhere that Leliana spent two years in the chantry, which would fix the timeline fairly clearly.

I checked, and you are correct. Leliana comments to Zevran that she was in the cloister for just over two years, to which Zevran reacts with horror. Two years without knocking boots!

Do elves have a higher libido or are they merely considered to be desirable and are there for sexual objects?



Zevran is always 'on', as it were and there are references in the game and in the books that at least some human men find elves attractive.

I think it's more that elves are exotic looking and therefore, as Zevran points out, considered very attractive by humans. Add to that the fact that elves are considered second class citizens, and it's pretty easy to see why they get used by humans a lot.

Dont know if I posted this here.



Ron: He lives vicariously through himself.

He is a lover not a fighter, but he is also a fighter so dont get any ideas

His sweat cures the taint, and his tears any injury. To bad he does neither.

His organ donation card also lists he eyebrows

The Templars often question him.. just because he is so interesting

He never says anything tastes like nug. EVEN nug.



He is the most interesting Dalish in the world.

"I dont often drink ale but when I do, I perfer Tapsters¨

"Stay thirsty my friends"

-Ron.



This is about Ron Maheriel, and I made it a while ago I think in the Alistair thread when they were talking about him.

Zevran seems to be something of an outlier. Neither Sketch nor Ariane appear to be constantly trying to get into their companions' pants, and aside from the Pearl craftspeople, I'm not thinking up any elf NPCs who struck me as flirtatious or eager.



So if elves do have higher libidos, they're also all really repressed.

I'd second that. If you take the example of Cammen and Gheyna, intimacy before marriage seems to be something of a no-go, at least with Dalish elves.
But on second thought, that could also be due to Cammen & Gheyna's general weirdness. :blink:

(Although a human perception of libidinous elves who want to despoil the women and tempt the men would fit riiiiight in with some unpleasant and inaccurate RL stereotypes.)

Ah, I finally got some shots of my Elf wardens. I am on the xbox, and had to use the digital, so the quality isn't as good as it could be, but it's better than nothing.



My current CE warden, Euranna Tabris. She's a rouge, just like Mamae; perfers weilding dual blades to the bow, but is trained in both. She is a master lockpicker, and in persuation. She is more of a lawful-neutral good alignment; and tries to lessen pain where ever she sees it. Currently has romanced Alistair.

Image IPB

My Elven mage, Alim Suranna is a complete douchebag. He is an Arcane Warrior/Blood Mage, he sided with the Templars, and will with the Werewolves, He has romanced Morrigan, and took a lot of flack from Alistair and Leliana for it. And struck down Wynne in cold blood with out a word. Very evil....



Image IPB

It's kind of hard to see in the pic, but he has the Alistair/Soris hairstyle.



I don't have a pic of my Dalish warden yet, but here is my new Suranna, I just made for kicks. I love playing female charaters.



Raina Suranna, she is more netural good, considering her bad beginings in the Alienage, then being torn from her family and brought to the Circle. She's still nursing a broken heart from how she left the circle. Per-maybe-haps an Antivian Crow can mend her?



Image IPB



On a side note, while playing Raina's origin, I noticed some dialog that claimed she was from the Denierim Alienage. before coming to the circle, but I think that's all you get of the Suranna back story. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Iona seemed to be a lot more open in regards to her sexuality. On top of which she seemed to lack the submissive quality a lot of other CE's have.

I dunno, she seems pretty deferential/ submissive to me.

On my male HN I felt like a real cad going for Iona.  Felt like sexual harrassment, whether it is or not.
