Oh, fun!  I'll write something for my main Warden and Hawke then.
Hello there, wall of text!

Reno Surana is friendly, inquisitive and trusting to the point of naive. She’s very pro-Circle and believes duty is important. When her magic surfaced at a very young age, it wasn't long before the templars came to the Denerim Alienage take Reno to the Circle. There, she threw herself into her studies to overcome homesickness, and grew to believe she was lucky to have been taken to the tower, instead of living in poverty. Despite her support of the Circle, she has always been horrified by the Rite of Tranquility and how it robs people of their self, which is why she defies Irving to help Jowan escape.

After Ostagar, she initially resents Alistair for forcing her into the leadership role when he is much more experienced and she is new to the outside world. It is only as she gets to know him more that she begins to befriend him and see him as the sibling she never had. When Reno first meets Zevran, she is initially interested in getting to know him because he is a fellow elf. They quickly develop a casual sexual relationship (which she is familiar with from the Circle), and as Zevran helps her to understand the wider world and the dangers of trusting too easily, they develop a strong friendship. Reno is fascinated by elven history, and takes the opportunity while with the Dalish to learn all she can from them. She is eager to learn about unusual magic, so that she can bring this information to the Circle for mages to study (such as AW, shapeshifting and keeper abilties). Despite her differences with Morrigan, Reno attempts to bridge the gap between them so that she can learn more about Morrigan's shapeshifting, and she eventually grows to respect her. She has a good relationship with all of her companions, and sees Wynne as a grandmother figure. Reno encourages Leliana to take a more cynical/hard view of things, as she herself has started to do, and embrace life away from the Chantry.

When she goes to the Circle tower, Reno is reluctant to help Greagoir. Though she still believes in the function the templars perform as guards and enforcers, she doesn’t think that all the mages would fall so easily to blood magic. In particular, she wants to find Irving, so she enters the tower with the intention of stopping the blood mages infesting her home, and rescuing her old mentor. In the end, the mages are spared Annulment, and Reno starts to wonder at how little the Chantry trusts the mages. Though she still believes in the Circle, she begins to mistrust the Chantry and its intention towards mages, as well as believing the templars are misguided and hobbled by the Chantry. Her encounters with more extreme templars (particularly Rylock) serve to strengthen her convictions that the Chantry’s fears are holding the mages back from doing the good they are capable of.

When Morrigan offers her ritual, Reno is conflicted. Although she’s grown to like and understand Morrigan, she knows the apostate seems to have no conscience at all, and Reno fears giving her the power of an Old God. She also believes it goes against her duty as a Grey Warden and a mage to take part in the ritual, but she is too afraid to die, and doesn't want Alistair to either. So she convinces him to go through with the ritual to save them both.

During the events of Awakening, Reno recruits all the Wardens she can and rebuilds the Keep, the guilt of accepting Morrigan's ritual hanging over her. She saves Amaranthine and destroys the Architect, deciding that she will do her duty no matter how appealing or simple the alternative might seem.
...

Urthemiel Hawke loves her magic. Though she understands its dangers on a basic level, she believes it’s up to the individual mage to control their ability and that the Chantry and templars are completely unnecessary. Unlike her more nervous sister, Urthemiel learns to cope with the anxiety of being an apostate by emotionally distancing herself from events, and mocking people's worries. Her flippant approach and casual disregard to the danger they were all in helped lead to her rivalry with Carver (it didn’t help that she was always teasing him!).

Urthemiel is more than happy to help mages fleeing the Circle. She sees it almost like a game, and revels in the opportunity to defy the Chantry. The fact that some templars are more sympathetic towards mages surprises her, but she knows that if they will still jump when the Chantry tells them do, even if some do feel bad for doing it. She doesn’t understand the Qunari mindset at all, especially because she prizes freedom and individuality. Though she is prepared to work with them for the money and the political pull it gives her with the Viscount, she despises them. Her involvement in politics meanwhile mostly comes from valuing the protection political ties can offer her from the Chantry, as well as a general desire to watch events unfold.

She and Anders bond quickly over their shared desire to help mages, though their reasons aren’t entirely the same. Urthemiel finds his tirades about mage rights tiresome, but his situation with Justice intriguing. She ends up accepting the spirit as much as she does Anders, because she never knew Anders before the merger, and therefore doesn’t know how much of what she loves about him is a result of being changed by the spirit. After Carver almost dies and joins the Wardens, Urthemiel realises that she squandered her opportunity to understand her brother and makes an attempt whenever she sees him again to be friendly and supportive. Most of the companions she gets along with well, except for Sebastian, who she constantly encourages to leave the Chantry, and Fenris (for obvious reasons). Regardless, all companions have her support in return for theirs.

A dislike for Kirkwall itself grows during her years as a noble, as she witnesses people – mages, templars and others – out of control. She grows more apathetic about people’s troubles, and makes no real effort to look into the murders, until her mother is taken. Afterwards, her hatred for Meredith and the Chantry itself intensifies because she sees the templars oppressing and persecuting innocent mages whilst lunatics like Quentin walk around unrestrained. The only reason she ends up stepping in during the Qunari takeover is because she hopes the Viscount might do something about Meredith and the templars in return for her help. The reward of Champion she finds amusing. Afterwards, she reluctantly remains in Kirkwall, partly because Anders won’t leave and partly because she wants revenge on Meredith for allowing Quentin to murder her mother.

Naturally, when the time comes, she sides with the mages, though she is more interested in openly fighting templars than saving the Circle. Anders’ attack on the Chantry shocks her, but she is more frustrated that he used her and kept his plans a secret. Once Meredith is finally dead, there is nothing else tying Urthemiel to Kirkwall, and she is free to leave.

Your Hawke is named after a Tervinter God? O.o

Malcolm and Leandra must have one heck of a sense of humor.

[Sylvianus]

Keep it up people, that's really interesting to read.  

[TheCharmedOne]

Asar Hawke is a sarcastic apostate who never feels guilt or shame in his powers gifted to him. He is not an Andrastian, and has nothing but disdain for the chantry. Asar believes all mages deserve to be free and sees the circle as slavery and he has no love for slavery.

Love for mages has replaced love for his family. Early on he sensed his sisters resentment and fear of her own abilities and never felt that close to her. Her death only strengthened his resolve that mages be able to master all power and abilities in the name of self preservation and survival, including blood magic. Asar himself does not deal with blood magic simply because its too messy and he fancies himself quite the debonair stylish mage who is proud of his noble Kirkwall family past.

His relationship with his brother has never been simple. Dealing with their rivalry caused a great divide between the two. Outside of the blood, these two brothers share nothing but resentment for each other. During Asar's descent into the deep roads he took Carver along, a very small part of him hoping his brother would be claimed by the darkspawn, but when push came to shove he could not allow his brother to die. Asar was elated to have his brother Carver out of his life and adventuring with the Grey Wardens.

Asar always saw the circle mages as weak and never understood their submission to the chantry/templars. Meeting Anders showed Asar that there were others like him willing to die for a cause he knew to be right and just. Asar also hopes that his love for Anders will help keep him sane and in control.

Asar has as much hate for the Qunari as he does for the chantry because of their view and treatment of mages. He was more than happy to rid kirkwall of that horned trash.

Truth be told, Asar would like nothing more than to live his life as a noble wealthy magister lord with Anders at his side, but while mages are still chained to the circle, he feels it is his fate to destroy the circle and chantry lies and free his people.

[Asch Lavigne]

I did one of these for my Shep in ME and it was fun.

I have two Wardens (they're kinda similar) but the first is the one I imported into DA2 because I thought it was a more interesting playthrough in terms of seeing how things played out through the DA series.

Asch - Dalish Elf who shared the anti-human view but loved his clan. He hated Duncan for forcing him to join the Wardens. He didn't think much of Alistair but later became good friends with him as he was the only one to understand the annoying pressure of the job. He liked Zevran and encouraged Leliana's assassin side. After Ostagar he wanted to just leave but got forced into staying. He let Redcliffe get destroyed as he saw no point in saving the place, it wasn't his job and there was no reason for him to do so. Later he went back only because he needed Eamon. He let Isolde die because he thought she was stupid. He accepted the Cult of Andraste's help and then killed them all as they served no purpose anymore. He defiled the ashes as a kind of revenge for what humans did to the elves. He later felt guilty about this when the ashes actually saved Eamon, which he didn't bet on. Naturally, he sided with the Elves and killed Witherfang for her heart. He killed Zathrian though for using him. He sided with the mages only because he felt he understood the whole being hated and feared for simply being born as you were. He sided with Bhelen only because he figured he would be a better choice than Harrowmont to help him get what he needed, though he fully expected to be betrayed. He kept the Anvil because having a Golem army sounded neat. He killed all the slavers in the Alienage for hurting the elves, even though he looked down at city elves. Killed Loghain because he picked a fight with him and kept getting in his way, it had nothing to do with Cailin or Ostagar, he could care less. He let Anora stay as Queen simply because Alistair had been his friend and didn't want to be King, and really he didn't care who was in charge since he was Dalish. He loved Morrigan and killed Flemeth for her. He used her ritual because he had no intention of dying. He also asked for land to be given to his people. He got along really well with Velanna. He hated having to do political stuff in Amaranthine. He let Amaranthing burn as he agreed that it was lost. Let the Architect live as an F You to the Wardens since The Architect needed Warden blood. That and he felt that he did more than enough already, let the others clean up that mess. In the end he tracked down Morrigan and went with her through the Eluvian.

My other Warden, Eames, was a Dwarven Commoner. She was greedy, selfish and cared little for others. She always did things with a "what do I get out of it?" mindset. She loved her sister but hated being treated as the castless are. She wanted to take over the Carta after killing Beraht but got forced into the Wardens. She hated Alistair and they fought constantly. She didn't take Sten and refused Leliana. She only let Zevran live as a trophy, an example to anyone who thought to get in her way again. She let Redcliffe get destroyed much for the same reasons as my other character. She killed Jowan and Connor and would have loved to kill Isolde. She sided with the Cult and defiled the Ashes as she could care less about human religion. She disliked the way the Dalish treated her and convinced the werewolves to kill them because it was more interesting and fun. She slaughtered everything in the Circle Tower, including Wynne, she didn't even bother to grab the Litany. She was nervous about returning to Orzammar but knew how everyone there saw the Wardens so she walked back into the city with her head held high. She sided with Behlen because he took care of her sister, but didn't trust him. She let Branka keep the Anvil because she could care less about the cost, as long as it wasn't her she didn't care. She demanded a statue be made in her honor to stick it to the nobility who told her she was nothing her whole life. She let the Slavers take the Elves as long as she got the evidence against Loghain she needed. She tried to force Alistair to be King out of spite. That plan went south when she decided to take Loghain for the same reasons she took Zevran. That and what better punishment than to force him to join the order he hated. She agreed with Anora when she said that Alistair had to be executed to avert another civil war, really she just wanted Alistair gone, and also spite, she really hated him. She turned down Morrigan, even though she was the only party member she liked, because why should she be bothered, if a Warden had to die she had Loghain to use, which she did. She took Morrigan's leaving as a betrayal, how dare Morrigan try to use her! She had a big ego after defeating the Blight and being named a Paragon and treated the people of Amaranthine like dirt because for once she was the big shot. She loved Sigrun like a sister and enjoyed Velanna's nasty attitude. She told Justice to take a hike, executed Nathaniel and handed over Anders. She let Amaranthine burn simply because she could. She sided with the Architect because she felt she had no reason not to, he was no bother to her. She tracked down Morrigan and attempted to kill her but is sure she's still alive somewhere. After that she went to accept the offer to join the Crows.

I haven't finalized my Hawke yet. This time I'm going with one instead of two characters since I'm only carrying over the one Warden. I know my Hawke will like everyone but Isabela, Anders and Sebastian. He/She will hand over Isabela, kill Anders, side with the mages and send Bethany to the Wardens. I don't know which sex Hawke will be yet and am having a hard time deciding between Fenris and Merrill. I haven't decided on a class yet, though I know not a dual blades rogue, just isn't my play style. I would choose a mage since I had a lot of fun playing one but want Bethany over Carver.

Lol sorry I've been busy the past few days so havn't been on. These are quite interesting though, been reading through them all they make a good read - Especially Ethereal's =D. Bout to start reading page 2. Also yeah didn't mean specifically to role-players just saying this would be something that would interest them mainly.. Non-Rp's as well probably. Am about to start a Dwarf noble so will probably start planning a whole range of opinions he will have on the world. =D will add later

[RagingCyclone]

These are interesting indeed. I'll put my two headcanon's here and play along:

Dan Cousland:
Dan is by all means the Cousland his father raised him to be.  Taught by Bryce that he was a noble to serve
the people,  and not for the people to serve him, Dan always tries to help those who need it. Of course Dan was not always as helpful to others. He was very headstrong and arrogant even after the fall of Highever, and that trait
in him did not change until after the fall of Ostagar.  Afterwards he "grew up" taking other's feelings into consideration. Meeting Leliana and falling in love with her also helped him mature.

During his time travelling and gathering the treaties his mind was always focused on the bigger picture. An example of this was in Orzammar. He decided to help Bhelen despite not personally liking the dwarf. When Leliana asked Dan why he did this, his response was that while Harrowmont was an honorable man and would honor the treaty despite Dan helping Bhelen, if Dan had helped Harrowmont and Bhelen won, the treaty would be ignored. Dan felt the fulfillment of the treaty was vital despite his personal feelings and thus acted accordingly.

Dan's personality can best be summed up as straightforward and to the point. He does not like to waste time when something needs to be done, and often has the opinion that he does not care who does the job just so long as it gets done.  If that means he must get his own hands dirty to do just that he will. And this has served him well since becoming the Teryn of Gwaren.  This will sometimes lead strangers and those new to him to think he has a severity to him, something that Leliana pointed out once during their courtship.   He does have a good sense of humor amongst his friends, and enjoys Alistair's quirky sense of humor. He finds himself laughing at many of the things Oghren says, and will even help his love Leliana tease Sten about being a cookie loving softie.   He even likes to tease Shale about her being cuter when they found out she used to be a female dwarven warrior.   Dan was even able to form a friendship with the Korcari witch Morrigan.   Something that surprised even her, but Dan viewed her  as a sister he never had.  His strong leadership ability did come with a price upon his return to Denerim. Bearing the weight of leading his companions, gathering the treaties, and facing numerous enemies, his world and strength crumbled when he met Arl Howe in battle. He lost all control of himself and afterwards periods of self doubt that only Leliana and Alistair were able to help him through. After the Landsmeet, however, Dan was back to his former self albeit much more willing to let others bear the burdens of ending the Blight.

Dan's fighting abilities were honed after years of training during his youth. As was standard practice he was trained in the warrior arts with the beginning focus of use of the sword and shield.  However, Dan was soon discovered to be very quick  and agile as well as strong, and took instead to preferring the use and tactics of a sword and dagger as opposed to a shield.  While even wearing massive armor, Dan proved to be faster and more agile than even the best rogue in the Highever regiments.  A trait that attracted the Ferelden Warden Commander Duncan.  This ability also earned him the nickname of The Cyclone amongst the soldiers of Highever, and this was then enhanced by his nephew Oren who called him a Raging Cyclone.  Dan is also an avid hunter and took up archery talents to help make him a better one. By the time he met Duncan that night before Howe's betrayal, Dan was both a master of dual weapon fighting and archery.

Further insight into Dan's character and his interactions can be found here:

Kailea Hawke:

Kailea was a carefree spirit until the darkspawn drove her family from Lothering.  Forced into a leadership role she led her family from their farm losing her younger brother Carver along the way. She eventually found herself in Kirkwall with her mother and sister, Bethany. Her first year in the city was a chance for her to hone her roguish talents. Upon meeting Varric she sought a chance to better her life.  Despite wanting to eventually return to Ferelden, friends and family kept her in Kirkwall.  She soon found herself as a member of a Deep Roads expedition. In the process she found a gathering of friends, and a mage she never trusted. Bethany became tainted during that endeavor and was forced to join the Grey Wardens to save her life...at least for a time.

Kailea's sharp whit helped her cope with the trials and tribulations during the next three years. She met and fell in love with a chantry brother, Sebastian, and although their ensuing marriage is a chaste one...she is bound and determined to change that one aspect of her life. Her goal...make Sebastian scream the Maker's name during a moment of unadulterated pleasure. As to her other companions she helps them when she can even going against the wishes of the Dalish Keeper. Eventually she ends up facing and defeating the Arishok. She did not enjoy the battle, but it was a fight she felt compelled to win. She then left for the Deep Roads again with her sister to find why she was hunted by Carta dwarves...and with her sister discovered at part of her family's history.

By the time the mages and Templars were fighting amongst themselves, Kailea was more determined to keep the status quo than anything else. While some wanted her to go into politics and become the Viscount, she preferred to lead a "normal" life and avoid the troubles surrounding her. Still determined to "unchaste" her lover, she was able to convince him to reclaim his throne in Starkhaven, but in the meantime was pulled into the turmoil that would become an all out war. Anders validated her mistrust of him when he destroyed the chantry, and following her lover's lead executed the mage. But afterwards when the Right of Anullment was called, she acted against it remembering her sister was a mage. Bethany returned to help during the conflict. Afterwards Kailea was invited to an Orlesian hunt, and attended to help a mysterious elf named Talis. The whole adventure was fun for her carefree spirit until she was imprisoned by Duke Prosper. After the escape from his prison, Kailea parted ways with Talis after learning the true motives of the elf. Regardless they met again. Wanting nothing to do with the elf, she left her leave with whatever secrets the elf possessed.

Hmmm... this is going to be more along the lines of Xanthos Aeducan in my fanfic and not the actual game. Some of Xanthos' sentiments may be shared with my other Wardens.

I made some similar choices with my dwarf, very cool expression of your character!  I bet your fanfiction is awesome and full of dwarvy goodness.  

I do my best to maintain a feeling of Dwarven Dwarfiness in my fanfic. 

The fanfic is in my blog if you want to read what I've posted so far

[KJandrew]

Connovar Cousland: Get back at Duncan for conscripting him by making as much money and gaining as much power as possible while saving the world. Needless to say he ended up as both the Prince Consort and Teryn of Gwaren.

Royland Hawke: Main motivation - Money. Secondary Motivation - Ridding Kirkwall of all those infected with the crazy virus, which includes every random street thug who thinks he can take on a group of heavily armed and armoured individuals. Ended up as Viscount, mainly because people who can blow the **** out of things by sneezing scare the hell out of me and preferably should be locked away, mainly because they would make to much competition in the power game.

I might give that a read, there aren't nearly enough good Aeducan fan fics out there. I did start writing one where the Prince breaks out of the prison and stages a coup to take control of the city but after getting to over 10,000 words and still being in the process of taking over the assembly i realised i didn't want to put in the time it would take to actually finish it.

It's been a while since I wrote anything so my description's a bit rusty, but I'd like to think my dialogue -- save for chapters 4,5, and 6 of my fanfic since they were just the human noble origin story in written form -- were pretty good.

But the basic gist of this fanfic is Xanthos Aeducan's ideal story: How he led the other Warden Origin stories and the Origins companions to victory against the Blight, and how he took the throne of Orzammar.

 Canon Warden- Keldan Brosca

Keldan Brosca was a dwarven casteless dual wielding warrior with short red hair, sideburns and blue eyes. All his life he believed there was 'something more' to life than living his lot, but stayed because he was fiercely protective of his older sister Rica. He despised hurting other people, even willing to pretend to have killed a man rather than spill innocent blood on his hands, knowing full well of how evil the carta truly is. As fate would have it he was discovered after winning the Proving tournament in an attempt to 'pull a last score'. Instead his identity was discovered and he was thrown into prison. However, he was saved after being noticed by the Grey Warden Duncan and thus started his new life. 

After coming to the Surface Keldan saw a whole new world before him. He had the freedom to pursue his own path, people weren't labeled by their financial or class status. He realized what a sham the dwarven caste and culture was and fully accepted human culture. He became a dear friend of Alistair, even joining the Templar order and becoming the first ever dwarven templar (strangely not written in Thedas history...but its true!). His training as a Templar drew him to the Chantry...and the Maker. This offered more hope than the Stone and Ancestors ever had, and Keldan became a firm believer in the Chantry. This made him connect with the lovely bard Leliana who shared his faith and devotion. He also got on quite well with Wynne, who was a sort of motherly figure in the absence of his own alcoholic mother, as well as Sten, respecting him as a mighty warrior. Things were a bit tense with Oghren due to their differing histories in different castes as well as Morrigan, who was irreverant and cruel to others. Keldan tried to show mercy to Zevran but ultimately Zevran betrayed that trust and Keldan was forced to slay him. Keldan also aided Shayle and helped her find out who she was and her past. 

During his journey he supported the Templars, attempting to spare the lives of the mages but ultimately believed abominations were a threat to the greater peace...and to the Circle itself. He elected Bhelen on the throne in order to get his sister and nephew a good status, especially since Bhelen challenged the very dwarven traditions that made life for casteless so hard in the first place. He convinced the Dalish keeper Zathrian to break the curse, hoping to bring peace to the humans who suffered as well as the Dalish, In Orzammar he helped Brother Burkel establish a Chantry who tended to the poor and homeless, especially a young woman who was exiled because of the status of her child's father. He destroyed the Anvil, wishing to put a stop to what destroyed Branka...and potentially other innocent dwarves who were sacrificed. In the end he chose to sacrifice himself to save the Blight, slaying the Archdemon while having no partaking in any occult magic that Morrigan offered. This left Alistair on the throne with Anora. Ferelden would see an unusual hero since the elven Warden Garahel...and Orzammar would see a new Paragon honored. Keldan however would be with the Maker...a distraught Leliana thought herself to join him, but the Maker showed her a new path, she became a Seeker and fully devoted to furthuring the Chantry's cause.

 Canon Hawke- William Hawke (Aggressive Male Dual Wielding Rogue)

After Teryn Loghain became a Warden to end the Blight (though the true hero is known as Zell Tabris, an elven street urchin from the Alienage who became a Warden and aided to quell the Blight), this would be the true start of the Viscount named William Hawke's journey. A handsome young man with olive skin, brown hair and amber-hazel eyes he inherited from his father, William and his brother Carver served in the Ferelden army, Carver as an infantry grunt and William as a military scout and spy, using his abilities as a rogue to enable him to use stealth and trickery to overcome his foes while he sliced them in the shadows. 

He and his sister Bethany began as a thief and hawker under the elven guildmaster Athenril, smuggling his way to pay off debts his uncle Gamlen incurred. Throughout his rise he would be aided by a dwarven rogue named Varric, best known as the teller of Hawke's story. Hawke's various adventures led him to meet the salty pirate Isabela, the dangerously naive blood mage Merrill, a Chantry brother named Sebastian, the captain of the guard Aveline...but most of all, he would meet the love of his life Fenris, an elven warrior who suffered much tragedy. Oh...and there was Anders, someone William would rather...forget. 

William had never been a devout member of the Chantry, but he had always viewed mages with contempt. With Merrill's obsession with blood magic, Anders persistent whining, an onslaught of angry apostates who threatened murder on Bethany...and the eventual death of his mother Leandra would only confirm William's suspicions about mages. They just couldn't be trusted no matter how noble they seemed. He already had quite a sullen demeanor, known for being intimidating, fierce, and aggressive, and he loved to take that frustration out to ensure Anders and Merrill would 'know their place'. Bethany was a bit of an exception, despite William's dislike of magic Bethany was still his sister. He always tried to ignore *that part* of her. 

Throughout his journey he would ignore Aveline's plea to aid her in finding a mate (either you do it yourself or don't do it at all is his motto...he doesn't do favors), over time she became bitter ("a b*tch, as Donnic would call her), but this served well to keep the Kirkwall guard's morale in check. William would have nothing to do with Merrill's dabbling in blood magic, and felt no sympathy when her when she caused her clan to fall (although he did vouch for her when the clan came for Marethari, whether it was an act of true sympathy or because he didn't feel like fighting that day is unknown). William and Fenris would spend much time together, William always encouraging the handsome elf to get over his past and start anew. He eventually aided Fenris in slaying his former master Danarius, which really began Fenris' healing. Sadly though Fenris killed his sister for betraying him (mages just *can't* be trusted...neither can loose ends and traitors). Varric would find William's unhappy demeanor to be irksome, causing the dwarf to sometimes gossip and spread wild rumors, but he knew even an embellished story couldn't save him should he incur William's wrath, thus he minded his words well. He still does even though he's not around Hawke. William would convince Sebastian to take his rightful place as ruler of Starkhaven, seeing as the nation could use someone who would support proper morale...and the templars. Isabela would go as quickly as she came. William didn't appreciate her always trying to hit on his man...and really had little patience for her overt slu*t*ness and was more than glad to have her leave. Anders...well William especially didn't like Anders....and was always more than happy to tell Anders to shove it...

What sealed Anders fate would be his atrocity against the Chantry, killing innocents for his 'cause'. Sebastian demanded him dead, but seeing death as a quick way out William instead decided to force Anders to atone for his grave sins. This caused the Prince of Starkhaven to leave. Eventually Anders would too. But this was satisfying to Hawke as he sliced and diced, ending Anders whining once and for all. He came across his sister Bethany. As Meredith threatened her, he felt an urge...he always knew Bethany as his sister...not a mage. Surprisingly for the first time he felt empathy and chose not to allow Meredith to kill her. He then felt regret about telling Fenris to get rid of his sister (fortunately Fenris wasn't there to see this exchange take place). Taking Aveline, Bethany and Varric into battle they defeated Meredith...with the help of an Antivan elven assassin named Zevran (who Hawke met on one of his adventures and got to know...intimately. William Hawke likes good looking elves...but don't tell Fenris!). 

Now the Viscount of Kirkwall and the Templars behind him, Hawke is an intimidating force to be reckoned with. 

*Hope you enjoyed* 

[xiiFezz]

Warden:  Johan Cousland he was a warrior who fought for what he felt was right. He was kind of Agnostic in a sence (Basiclly Half Belive/Half don't just in case you didnt know.) He kept his trusty hound and Alistair with most of the time. Switching between Morrigan and Leliana but fell in love with Leliana quickly. But also flirted with Morrigan at points.. He went with the mages even though he loved Leliana. In the end he married Queen Anora, (After a really akward conversation with Lelina) Killed Loghain, and slayed the Archdemon with Oghren, Alistair and Leliana.

Hawke:  Jonah Hawke is a mage who was pro-mage (duh). He tried to get the Qunari out peacefully. He was neutral with them for a while until they attacked. He didn't quite like the templars. Except for a few. He mainly had Varric, Aveline, and Isabela at his side (Occasionally Anders because he's a healer). He later fell in love with Isabela. His main purpose was to help his family through everything even when he lost them he wanted their name to mean something in Kirkwall and through out the Free Marches. At the end he chose mages and was quite confused why Orsino resulted to Blood Magic (He only used blood magic when it came to drastic things such as the High Dragon and things like that) He kept Anders for the only reason for that he needed a healer.

PROLOGUE: Sarcastic Hawke.
Well known in Lothering for helping and hunting random creatures and being "unnaturally" gifted by it's citizens, my mage Hawke would often be lounging in the tavern or helping people around town on a daily basis. Whether it be helping Barlin protect his farm from wildlife or chasing after bandits outside of town with Carver and other stronger individuals.

ACT 1: Diplomatic Hawke, mixed with jokes.
After the Blight, protecting his family after the hardships which lead them to Kirkwall became his number one priority, forcing him to "man up" and stop his relaxed lifestyle and begin to seek out ways of improving himself and his family's position in the dog-eat-dog world of Ferelden Refugees in Kirkwall. Bethany's death lead to his attachment to Carver, suddenly not trying to bicker every moment and treating him for what he was: Family.

ACT 2: Sarcastic Hawke, mixed with aggressive.
Upon losing Carver in the Deep Roads and becoming nobility, life had finally turned for the better and Hawke was able to finally relax and calm down for a few years. While he tried to still assist people and generally trying to keep ties with his past, he felt that life was in the past and tried to move on. His jokes and sunny disposition disappears as time passes by, the Qunari and Mage/Templar situation taking a toll on him.

ACT 3: Aggressive Hawke.
By the time he's become the Champion, the Hawke which escaped from Lothering is nothing but a distant memory. Hardened through conflict and forced to value Kirkwall's defense above all else, Hawke has emerged to become a cold and aggressive man who threatens all who stands in his way. Though his friends still see glimmers of who he was underneath the Champion's Mantle, strangers would begin to doubt he had ever existed.

BELIEFS:
Hawke believes in the Chantry and all it's ideologies, despite being an apostate and breaking one of it's core tenants. Initially being indifferent in Lothering, he grew to value the Templar as he notices the city crumbling around him and abominations stalking the streets.

Reviles the Qunari, seeing them as monsters and actively working against them. Having put his dislike of Petrice aside to assist her in the destruction of the Arishok, viewing her as a necessary evil. Upon finding out that Tallis was a Qunari, he refused to work with her and ran away leaving her to her own problems.

[frostajulie]

Summer Hawke: She is an apostate mage specializing in Fire spells and Earth spells She put a point in spirit healing but never built on it, preferring to kill stuff rather than keep it alive. Her biggest regret is the relationship she had with her brother, he became a templar and she never understood why they never seemed to connect because she loves him with all her heart but every exchange turns into an argument.

Summer worshipped her father and he drilled into her from a young age that she was always in danger from demons, moreso than the templars. In order to truly master her talent she must value control above all else. She hates blood mages, she sees them as the sole reason something like the circle exists, she rails against the injustice but sees it as a necessary evil since most mages were weak and could not even master themselves let alone their powers. She also has enough compassion to understand that were it not for her father she could have been just as weak.

As a result of her strict moral code she cannot stand Merrill at first but gradually learns she is just very stupid and so Hawke takes it upon herself to shepherd Merrill down the path Hawke thinks is best. She withholds the elven relic, incurring 100% rivalry with Merrill who over the course of the story Hawke grew to love like a little sister though the affection was never returned. Anders on the other hand Hawke despised for his weakness, I am still amazed that Anders ended up Summers friend since she couldn't stand him, but when he told her he had found a way to separate the spirit from inside him Hawke jumped at the chance to help.

In every encounter Hawke had she maintained control. Bloodmages died but innocent mages went free. She agreed mostly with Fenris and was just as amazed at their rivalry as she was with Anders friendship.

GHawke came close to losing her control only once, when her brother was kidnapped by Thrask and that Starkhaven **** of a bloodmage. She killed everyone and Carver seemed so disappointed and that hurt! Hawke was also upset she couldn't turn in Alain for bloodmagic, he only did it to release her brother from the spell but now Hawke felt obligated to keep his secret and that put her in collusion with a blood mage. She also almost killed Kern the templar and only Merrills plea stayed her hand.

Hawke despised the Qunari because she believed in freedom, everyone had the right to be free if they could live with the responsibilities such freedom entailed. she was quite happy to kill the Arishok but not in a duel, he was after all freaking huge and even though she was freaking awesome, she was also very squishy.

Hawke romanced Fenris at full rivalry and it was quite the moment when he stood behind her to face down Meridiths crazy although Hawke constantly wondered if she made the right choice as wave after wave of abominations and blood mages tried to kill her along with the damn templars.

Hawke killed Anders for what he did while she had no love for the chantry, Kirkwall was her home and Anders had brought war to her doorstep and while Hawke has no love for the templars or the chantry she is not so stupid as to think they are not needed. Still when her brother sides with Merideth she is devastated! Luckily, later on her brother is magically cured of his collosal case of the stupids and gets on her side. So she has thrown in her lot with the mages although she is still not sure if it is the right side to be on. she is simply thankful that she does not have to face the uncertain future alone. Fenris is by her side and he will ensure she is always the one true master of herself and thereby the master of her talent.

Hawke doesn't like to be bored and her own sense of self mastery has lead her to believe she almost always knows what is best for everyone else so she os always butting into other peoples business and "helping" out and while she does enjoy monetary rewards she also does it as a way to pass the time. She is very sarcastic and when angered utterly ruthless, but with friends and family she is the soul of charm and kindness.. except with Carver, they just don't get each other.

She also really likes elves. She has been known to solicit the services of some of the better looking elves at the red blossom. an she flirted with both Talis and Zevran much to Fenris' chagrin Hawke was utterly delighted when Fenris jeolously threatened Zevran. That was a pivtal highlight of my gaming experience. In DAO it didn't matter who you tented you cold tent zev in front of Alistair and he did nothing even if he was in love with you. But Fenris threatened Zev for taking Hawkes flirting seriously and I LOL! it was delightful.

[Vit246]

Kreia Surana is an Elven mage who since the age of 5 spent 20 years at the Fereldan Circle learning and mastering every possible magic. She has an insatiable thirst for magical knowledge and power and there is nothing forbidden to her so far. She despises the Chantry and Templars but recognizes that there are some of them who are not so bad. She was disappointed that Jowan, of all people, knew blood magic and did not teach her. She joined the Grey Wardens with the ultimate intention of being free from the Circle and perhaps even the Grey Wardens if she felt that she had to, even with its privileges. In Recliffe, she forced the Desire demon to release Connor and teach her blood magic, the power she coveted so much as a mage. She chose to side with Zathrian because he was an immortal Elf and he knew magic that would grant the user immortality as a side effect, and hoped to learn it from him one day. She sided with the Cult of Andraste to gain access to their so-called "power of the dragon", preserve the High Dragon, prevent the Chantry from discovering the ashes, and allow the cult to breed more dragons. In my mind, I RPed Kreia learning how to shapeshift into a dragon form from the Andraste High Dragon itself, and keeping it a secret. In Orzammar, she sided with Branka because she couldn't stand the idea of destroying and not using a powerful invaluable artifact like the Anvil. She was disappointed that Caridin did not see the price of golems as trivial and regretfully killed the ancient being who possessed vast knowledge and ability. Once she understood enough of Dwarven civilization, she chose Bhelen quickly because Harrowmont had no spine and he supported opressing the Casteless.
In Denerim, she put both Hardened Alistair and Anora on the throne because she did not trust Anora. She chose to keep Loghain alive because the senior Warden Riordan strongly advised it and because she was not a general and veteran of war. When Morrigan told all about the plan to capture the untainted soul of an Old God, Kreia chose to work with her bcause she had an insatiable curiosity to do something like that; to preserve a possible deity of powerful proportions and possible omnipotence and omniscience. In the end, Kreia went with Morrigan through the Eluvian to gain access to a realm beyond the mortal world and the Fade, and to finally meet the Old God Urthemiel. Perhaps she could gain whatever power it possesses.

Love it when Characters evolve as the story progresses =D

[gaurdian9sunshine]

When I saw this thread, I got very excited.

My cannon warden is a female noble named Cienne Cousland. She grew up liking to play with daggers and pointy things. She liked picking locks and causing mischief, but not too much. When her older brother got to go off to Ostagar, she was jealous. She didn't want to stay behind and take care of the castle while everyone was away. She wanted to be the one that went and got to fight. She resented her father for not letting her go with Fergus. Though the thought of an arranged marriage didn't seem too apealing, she liked the idea of marrying Thomas, the older of the Howe siblings. She heard of the Wardens before Duncan came, and the only reason she wanted to join is so she could test her skill in battle and go to Ostagar and fight. When Howe attacked, she was livid. Her father trusted him, and she even trusted him. After she and her mother met up with her father, she didn't know what to do. After Duncan offered her a place in the Wardens, she said to herself, didn't you want to go fight. She accepted his offer to become a Warden, but she really didn't want it to be like this.
When Cienne gets to Ostagar, she worries about Fergus and his safety. She wants nothing more than to see her big brother and give him a hug and tell him what happened. She feels very alone. After being rescused, she feels glad to be alive, but little else. She can't beleive everyone is dead. She worries constatly about Fergus. She doesn't really trust Morrigan, but becomes friends with her anyway, curious to learn more about magic and about the mysterous Flemmeth.
Cienne and Alistair form a bond because they both lost important people in their life and both are grieving. She recruits Sten and Leliana in Lothering, hoping they could help her along her way. She also recruits Shale, hoping having a golum in the party would be useful. She goes to the dalish first and sides with Zathrian because she feels they are justified in attacking the werewolves, even after she knows these humans were not the ones that caused Zathrian's children to die. She wonders if he could ever let go of his anger and hatred for humans, but she is glad that she found a friend in the dalish. She encounters Zev and brings him into their party, despite
Cienne goes to the circle tower to find that it is a mess. She doesn't really like the templar outside the tower and although she feels the circle is necessary, she doesn't think its fair for her to kill all the mages because of the mistakes of a few. So, she decides to help Wynne despite Morrigan's protests. She saves the first enchanter and the surviving members of the circle that were in the harrowing chamber. She is glad to have Wynne in her party and really respects her judgement. She gives the black journal to Morrigan and she tells her that Flemmeth is going to use her body as her next host and asks Cienne to go and kill Flemmeth. Cienne doesn't really want to, but she decides to go and talk to Flemmeth. Flemmeth suggests that Cienne just takes her real journal and tell Morrigan that she is dead. Cienne has no idea what she is capable of, so she decides to take the journal and tell Morrigan she is slain.
They go to Redcliffe and Alistair tells Cienne that he is Maric's bastard. At first she is angry that he kept this from her, but she feels she would've done the same thing in his shoes. She decides to help Tegan because she would want someone to help Highever if something happened like this there. When she sees Jowan, she decides to just let him go, despite the party members objections, because of Loghain's involvement. She hopes she hasn't made a huge mistake in doing so. She goes back to the circle tower to get Irving's help to free Connor from the demon. After talking to Isode about the urn, she goes to Denerim to talk to Genetivi. She meets Alistair's sister and is pissed she is so selfish. Cienne tells Alistair to grow up, that everyone is out for themselves, and she tells Leliana that she was never meant to be in the chantry. That she was running away when she did that. After that, her and Alistair begin to have a serious relationship. They have sex for the first time.
They went to get the urn of sacred ashes. Even though she might not be a huge Andrastian, she doesn't want to destroy the ashes. She heals Arl Eamon.
When she gets to Orzammar, she is glad that things are almost at an end. She chooses to help Harrowmont becasue she doesn't trust Behlen. She sees the archdemon for the first time and it scares her. She doesn't know how she is going to defeat it. She knows it is up to her to stop that thing. When she ends up meeting Branka, she thinks she is mad. When she meets Caridin, she is torn. She feels that she needs an army to defeat the archdemon, but feels that the anvil is dangerous. In the end she helps Branka to kill Caridin.
Eamon calls the landmeet and she rescues the queen. She was very glad that she was able to kill Howe. After she kicks the slavers from the Alienage, she feels at a loss. She doesn't know what to do. She thinks about her families position in court before what Howe did to her family. She decides to despose of Anora and Cienne and Alistiar become engaged. She wonders if she did the right thing with Anora.
Everyone goes to Redcliffe and Riordon tells them that a Warden has to die when the archdemon dies. She can't picture a world without Alistair in it. When she goes to her room, Morrigan tells her of her plan. She doesn't really want to do so, but she wants both of them to live, so desipte her better judgement, she asks Alistair to do the ritual. Cienne kills the archdemon and becomes Queen beside Alistair. She sees Fergus and is overjoyed that he is alive. She asks Alistair to look into all the people that were in on Howe's plan on killing her entire family.
DA:Awakenings
She can't believe the darkspawn attacked the keep and it isn't even a blight. She meets Anders and tells him that he would be welcome in helping to fight darkspawn because he killed some, and she ends up recruiting Orghren as well. After defeating the talking darkspawn, she sees Alistair and is glad to see him. The templars try to take Anders away, but she conscripts him into the Wardens. She really didn't want to come back to the wardens, but she doesn't want her country to fall into disarray. She talks to Nathaniel and feels sorry for him because his father died at her hands and conscripts him into the wardens. She knew she could've died just as easily as her parents. She didn't want to let him go, nor did she want to execute him.
She helps whenever she could when it came to Ameranthine and people around. She decides to help Anders destroy his philactry and doesn't regret killing the templars in order to keep him in the wardens. She encourages Orghren to get more involved with his kid, and helps Nathaniel to learn that his sister is alive and that he has a nephew on the way. She helps Sigrun with her past, and although she thinks its kinda creepy that a fade spirit wants to know more about Kristoff's wife, she helps him. She help convince Valana that all humans arn't as bad as she think they are.  She destroys Ameranthine because the constable says that there is no hope. She kills the Architect because she doesn't trust the darkspawn.

DA:2
My cannon Hawke is named Miriam. She is the oldest of the Hawke siblings. She grew up surrounded by magic, wishing she could be a mage, but is glad she doesn't have to deal with her father and sister's demons. She took it upon herself to protect her little sister. Despite having to be serious and having to look after her family, she took after her father's humorous and scarcastic nature. She joins the army at Ostagar so her family would be safe, but she was overwhelmed and her and Carver barely escape. They get to their home and tell their family they have to flee. She is devistated when Carver dies protecting mother, even though they were not as close as her and Bethany. She blames herself at first for his death, but realizes that will not bring her little brother back.
When she firsts get to Kirwall, she fears for her sister because of all the templars in the city. She decides she rather be a mercenary rather than a smuggler. After the year is over, she realizes she needs some way to make the templars look the other way about her sister, so she goes to talk to Bartrend. She reassures Bethany she will protect her no matter what. Her and Varric hit it off right away because they are both very scarcastic and enjoy lying. She thinks Merill is stupid not only for leaving her clan but for being a blood mage but still become friends. She hates Fenris right off the bat when he verbally attacks her sister. She tries to understand why Fenris is so hateful towards mages and fails but decides to make him apart of her team even though she doesn't like him very much. She is glad Aveline found a place in the city guard. When she met Anders for the first time, she doesn't know what to think.  After they find Karl, she finds out the truth. She feels sympathy for Anders. She has always hated the templars as much as he has, and makes the decision that she is going to help him.
She decides to help Faynriel and the starkhaven apostates because of her dislike of the chantry. She resents the chantry for making her family have to live in fear and keep running away from the templars so much. She kills Ser Karas and the other templars looking for the apostates, though she is glad to know the templar Thrask. When she meets Petrice, she is disgusted and angry that she used her. Though she doesn't really understand the Qunari, she likes them a lot more than Sister Pertrice, so she goes to the Arishock and tells him what happened with his Avarad.
She fears for her sister if she is left in Kirkwall, so she decides she will come with her on the expedition, and Anders as well because he is a healer and because he fought darkspawn before. When Bethany catches the blight, she doesn't know what to do. She is angry at herself for putting her sister in danger, and decides she wants her sister to live, so she puts her sister through the Joining.
When she gets back to Kirwall, she tells her mother about Bethany, feeling guilty that she put her sister in so much danger. She decides to help the Vicount so she could learn more about the Qunari. She still doesn't quite understand them, but she is curious about them. She helps people with their quests, and gets angry at Fenris for lasing out at her and is almost tempted to tell him to leave, but decides to let him stay. After Anders almost kills Ella, she goes to Anders and talks to him. Though Anders protests, and tries to keep her at arm's length, she really cares for him, and eventually they start a relationship. She decides to tell the Arishock that his delegates are missing because she starts to respect him, although she understands why so many people don't like them and want them out of the city.
When her mother dies, she is at a loss. She decides not to tell Gemlen how she died, and when Anders comes to console her, she lashes out at him. She wishes that she searched more when she found the remians all those years ago. She is at a loss. At that point she just wants to give up, but she knows the city needs her, so she pushes forward. When she finds out that Isabela is the reason why the Qunari were here so long, she feels like she should've put it together a long time before that. She wishes Isabela didn't run off with the relic, but understands why she did so. When the Qunari attack the city, she is hardly superised. Between what happened with Shaemus and the kidnapped delegates and all. When Isabela comes back, Miriam decides to not hand her over to the Arishock, and duels him. Though it was the most difficult thing she has ever done in her life, she defeated him.
Three years later, she hates the measures the templars are making on the city. Not just on the mages, but the common people also. It makes her very angry. Everytime she talks to Meridith, she lashes out. She didn't think she could hate someone so much in her life. She lets Emille go when she sees him, and wishes the other two where not abominations so they could get away too. She completes the lost sword quest and Taarbas gives her Baasrath-Kata, making her an onofficial part of the Ben-Hassrath. She lies to Meridith telling her that Emille was killed. She helps Orsino, and gets angry that Thrask didn't trust her enough to tell her that he was planning on disposing of Meridith. When Anders destroys the chantry, she wishes he told her what he was doing, though she is glad that he didn't share that with her. She sides with the mages. Although there were many things Miriam did for Fenris, he still turns on her in the end. She even freed him from his former master. Everyone else stays. She decides she isn't going to kill him, and asks him to help fight the templars. She is glad to see her sister killing a shade when she goes around the corner, and lets her into the party again. They go to the gallows and say their goodbyes, and she decides to run away with Anders. She hopes that one day people like herself wouldn't have to fear about their sister being taken away from them. After they beat Meridith, her and Anders go away with Isabela on her new ship somewhere far away from Kirkwall.

Love the idea for this thread.

DAO: Alim is a quiet and loyal young mage in the Circle, rightly afraid that his status as an elf and a mage would make him an outcast anywhere else in Ferelden. He turned in Jowan, and lacking great ambition reluctantly went with Duncan. After Ostagar, he was mystified to find himself somehow leading the only group of Wardens in Ferelden in a hopeless quest to unite the kingdom and combat the Blight.

Naive and overwhelmed, he fell for Morrigan and ignored his companions' warnings about her - even from his close friend (and frequent adventuring companion) Wynn. Despite his prior compliance with Chantry rules, out of loyalty to his fellow mages he convinced the Templars to not wipe out the Circle. With slowly growing confidence, he staved off a zombie assault on Redcliff and peacefully resolved the dispute between werewolves and the Dalish in the Brecelian Forest. However, he never did forget the way the Dalish treated him as an outcast, just like the humans they claim to despise.

With his renown and confidence slowly growing, Alim braved the Deep Roads and found himself deeply impressed with the Legion of the Dead. In all his travels, he found almost everyone – human and Dwarven nobles, the Chantry, Dalish Elves, blood mages, and Flemeth – to be hypocritical, self-serving, and power hungry. The Legion of the Dead were like him - outcasts lacking pretension doing the actual dirty work of keeping everyone safe. It also drove him mad that despite the fact that he was the only one trying to defeat the blight he was generally treated as a knife-ear, a useless warden, or a lesser elf. He began to realize that his long-simmering anger at being an outcast was rising to the surface and was also probably behind his attraction to the hedge witch Morrigan.

He finally thought he had earned respect when he gathered the Landsmeet, overthrew Loghain, and married his close friend Alastair to Anora for the good of the country. Even better, he was about to fulfill his goal of leading an army against the Archdemon with the love of his life at his side. He was crushed to discover that the man or woman who slays the Archdemon would perish, and his pain was doubled when Morrigan offered him a deal with the devil (perhaps proving her ill intent from the beginning) that would save his life. Although the decision tore him apart, he could not allow his selfishness to result in the possible extension of the Archdemon’s life, and he turned Morrigan down at the very moment he needed her most. His fate sealed, Alim marched grimly into battle and led the various powers of Fereldan to the top of Fort Drakon where, over King Alistair’s wishes, he was the one to slay the Archdemon. Victorious in death, he finally received the respect he always craved.

DA2: Still finishing the canon campaign, but he’s a very different character – a flippish rogue who detests anyone trying to impose their will on others, whether it’s Meredith or the Arishok. He loves the fame and power that comes with being the Champion but chafes at the political responsibilities his title carries. Pretty much the only thing he has in common with the Warden (besides murdering everything in sight) is tragedy: his sister died because he imperiously waved off his mother’s concern about taking her into the Deep Roads, and it seems that every other decision he makes results in heartbreak. He put the moves on Merrill, mostly because he’s kind of an arrogant ass and likes to have a weak willed partner he can dominate. He even flirted heavily with Tallis while Merrill was right there next to him. He initially slept with Isabella, because of course he did, but couldn’t stand the fact that she had an even greater will than he does.

[Darkrider296]

Zya Hawke is a proud Mage who believes that her powers can do more than just destruction. Very close to father and younger sister, their deaths being a devastating blow. Highly individualistic, secular, and hates nobility. Has diplomatic personality but it morphs into a sarcastic one because of the screwed up stuff she sees overtime. She just tries to survive and do some good at first but the actions of Anders inspire her to join his Mage resistance. Her activity in such a group slowly erodes her friendship with Aveline over time who stands against her at the end. She wishes Fenris would do more to help his own people the same way Anders does so she sees him with a bit of contempt. Hates blood magic because of her Father's practical teachings on what it can lead to, therefore she also is at odds with Merrill at times (I mean u have to open contact with a freaking demon to learn it). Bros with Varric all the way . Has a casual relationship with Isabella at first partially because Anders is too distracted by Justice. Eventually romances Anders. The deaths of her mother drive her over the edge making her take on a more aggressive attitude. Has minor identity crisis about being a Mage but decides to "tough up" and fight for her people. Wants freedom but wants Mages to educated and aware of the problems their powers can cause. Stands by her lover even though they have some conflict at Act III. Kills Fenris, and tells Aveline to take her self righteous self else ware. She is a bad ass Mage who understands her powers and will not be chained by anyone.

[Darkrider296]

My canon Warden goes by the name of Siester Amell a guy who wants to show that Magic can be used for the good despite past mistakes involving its usage in history. Lived a harsh life even though he was a noble, being beaten by his step father repeatedly. Mother rarely left her bedroom due to depression. Kills his step father by accident (partially out of defense) due to his emerging magic. Beaten by Templars as he was escorted away giving him a resentful view of the Temps and Chantry. Stressful experience leaves him with snow white hair. Comes to hate the Chantry for trying to make Mages into self hating bootlickers. Reads books on sword play and war fare secretly that he has smuggled in from a sympathetic diplomat mage who can leave the circle from time to time. Exercises every day to be strong physically not just in terms of magic (self confidence that sorta thing). Reads about Qunari war is highly impressed by Mage invovlement in that war helping to inspire and solidify his "mage pride". Hates blood magic for it involves contact with demons who are innate trouble. Takes Jowan on as a younger brother of sorts but is highly disappointed in him for turning to blood magic. Happy to leave circle with Duncan since it has been his dream to freely use his magic as he sees fit. Finds Alistair to be an interesting and fun fellow very worth his time. Alistair even gives him his first sword for saving his life from a dark spawn arrow with a hidden dagger. Has a love at first sight experience with Morrigan (disappointed but not repulsed by the casual relationship he starts with her). He does have a threesome with both Zev and Izzy behind her back though (hey they were in a casual relationship at the time). Despite being tempted by Leliana he decides to consolidate his relationship with Morrigan. As an Arcane Warrior Siester also has problems with loosing him self to the fade, due to the powers of that ability that allow him to exist within the fade and physical world at once. His love and appreciation of his companions keeps his humanity grounded though. He puts B over H on the throne of the dwarf city (don't want to spell things wrong lol) because B has actual long term plans. Hates what he sees in dwarf city and wants a leader who will attempt to implement some change. He kills Loghain because he sees his crimes as being too great to forgive. Does dark ritual with Morrigan because he genuinely trusts her plan which seems solid (still pissed at minor dishonesty but he loves her anyway). He wants freedom for the mages so he has a hardened unmarried Alistair declare the circle's free. Goes through mirror because he wants to be with his son and lover
