What type of Companions do you want to see in DA3? (Please don't include returning characters, this thread is specifically for NEW characters)
Race/class + Attitude
Example:
I would like to see a Female (Human or Elf) Warrior that wields either a 2H or Sword and Board, BUT unlike Aveline she maintains her femininity. As for her attitude I think it would be awesome if she was ruthless/mercenary (like Aggressive Hawke) since we've never really had an Aggressive companion and I think an Agressive female would be more memorable than an aggressive male.

Mega bonus points agree 100% --the only thing that could make that better turning her into LI who agressivally pursues the the player .in stead of the player pursuing her .
Only New Characters ok --
Good aligned Female Mage with looks and personality simmilar Triss Marigold
Female DEX based duel wielding warrior class based on the looks and personality off Jennifer Garner Electra
Female Rouge based on the looks and personality of Angelina Jolie Lara Croft

Hmm... would love to see human female, warrior, wielding shield and mace, having the "innocent like" personality like Leliana's, but in combat she would be like ,,a battle ram", also when romanced, she would be like ,, all rainbows and butterflies" like Merrill 
. Would love to see that combo !!
. Would love to see that combo !!

I'd really love to see some more diversity in minor races. I mean there is a wealth of other races in fantasy books left unexplored by Bioware as characters in the DA universe.

By which I mean, look at something like Dragonlance, for example. There are all manner of supernatural beings, Kender, Dwarves, Elves (of varying types), varying humans (ie Plainsmen, etc.), Dragon/Human hybrids, Centaurs, and all kinds of classes and subclasses represented in the main narrative, let alone all the spin off texts. Or, look at something like Skyrim. It has such customization. I mean, really, the more customization, the better. That is the way of the future. If I had to make one wish on which extra race that has not yet been included to include, it would probably be the more mythical woodland magical races, such as Dryads. I've always loved the idea that something beautiful and dainty can be dangerous and deadly using something other than brawn or blunt force magic.

Imagination at it's finest.
I'd like to have a companion of any gender or race that is deceptively charming, arrogant, a bit of a scoundrel on the outside.. but a complete and utter wreck on the inside, a person that has been completely broken.
Someone that is hiding a tragedy that has completely consumed them, but it's consumed so much of who they were and been buried so deep, left so much hatred and anger behind, that they're incapable of even registering it as a problem.
They're so incapable of coping with their problems that they hide behind a facade of false smiles and charming misdirection - A mask that they've been living behind long enough that they've become incapable of dealing with their internal turmoil.
Underneath the mask of deceptive happiness and humorous distractions, there's bitterness, burning hatred and impotent rage. So much negative emotion just twisted up inside of them that they barely have any scrap of humanity left inside, so completely broken that they have no idea how to fix themselves and move on.
Their personality would be, as I said, outwardly deceptive - Charming and funny and arrogant - but they would be prone to outbursts of pure rage if they're confronted with their problems, or something particularly brutal occurs that they disagree with. Not the kind of character that would break down and cry, but the kind of character that would have violent outbursts.
Their general outlook on the world would likely be one of contempt - Seeing all the weakness and incompetence may remind them of their own problems - but they would see the pleasures to be had in it also. Drink, gambling, women(or men). They would have little to no honour, no sense of duty or responsibility.
Despite their self-loathing and bitterness - They would have a relatively kind heart and, should the need arise, they protect the truly innocent or defenseless. They would disapprove of generally exploiting the weak, acts of random, needless violence would enrage them and wanton slaughter would make them likely to kill you.
They would approve of manipulations, charm, wit and a generally ruckus attitude. They would completely support you for saving the lives of defenseless innocents and smaller acts of random kindness(like sparing a few coins to someone who's in a tight spot). Generally helping the weak or defenseless would put you in their good books.
It's a dream.... It won't happen, but a girl can dream.

Edit bonus:
Sylvanpyxie allocated to this post instead:
The over-all character arc would likely be either helping them to accept their problems and move past them, leading them to become a genuinely good person who may one day find some semblance of peace or happiness. They would eventually become the mask that they hid behind - Charming, fun, happy.
Or you could encourage their self-destructive nature, which would obviously lead them to become a twisted wreck, completely without humanity. Someone that cares little to nothing for any other human being, completely despises humanity and blames the entire world for their own personal problems.
Or, of course, you could completely ignore them.

Every companion should be new. No olds returning.
That said, I want Cole.
Bring on the psycho character.

I believe the best comparison I've heard is Tyrion Lannister from the Song of Ice and Fire books. (Only their model would be distinctly more attractive I imagine.)Sounds kinda like a slightly less deranged version of Jack.
That or a mix of Bishop and Gannayev from NwN2 and Mask of the Betrayer. (Bishop's bitterness and Gann's arrogance and charm)

A Tyrion Lannister would kick ass!
Bishop was far too bitter for my tastes, he just brought down every conversation lol, but he was a good character.

A dwarf female (any personality).
Varric and Cullen....
Oh and an elf male with a toned down personality (instead of ultra sexual or ultra emo like before).
aaaand a Qunari (male or female) who is against the Qun.

I want a female mage or rogue that holds a deepseated pain for some reason or other and has, as a result, become ruthless and devoid of compassion. Maybe she's out for revenge. She has a problem showing her emotions or building a relationship with other people that isn't based on power. She is, for all intents and purposes, the 'antagonist' type.
She may or may not also be a sociopath.
That's the kind of baggage I can go with. (And I want her as a LI. Because it may be unrealistic as hell, but oh so delicious.)

I support this.
I'd quite like a female Saarebas Tal'Vashoth. (Probably born outside of the Qun for tongue-having reasons. Tal'Vashoth parents and that). I think she could be potentially really interesting, being something her people just wouldn't agree with, a woman mage fighting.

I want a human who is completely racist. For all purposes, i have seen very little racisim against elves. Sure, in the city elf origin you are talked down upon and your cousin is molested/raped and elves always b!tch about humans keeping them down, but most of the companions you have seem to break that human sterotype. So yeah, for the sake of diversity. Preferably a guy who disapproves whenever you help out elves/dwarves/kossith or grumps at you if you are a elf/dwarf/kossith.
I would also like a Mage who completely hates other mages and templars altogether. A preferably respectable girl/guy who disagree's with the war and would rather it be settled diplomaticly, but not being a zelot about it. Maybe a hypocritical goody-two-shoes or something of the sort... ANY personality, just give me a mage who doesn't yarp about how bad templars all day. -or mages if a warrior/rogue-
Lastly, i want a Kossith. I don't care if they support the Qun or not, male or female, just give me a kossith to banter with, please? :innocent:

I would like two companions who hook up... with each other. *dun dun dun* I don't know, Aveline and Varric were nice in that respect (Aveline/Donnic and Varric/Bianca) but it would be nice to see characters growing closer together within the party as well.
Of course, I can already hear the cries of 'Isabela and Fenris were totally wrong for each other! Their entire relationship came straight out of left field!' so maybe it would be better to avoid that wangstfest.
If that survey that was going around a while ago is really... well, real, the concepts I liked the best were the 'mage dudes', Rivaini looking woman, and grey warden.
Personality wise... I have a lot of faith in the writing team, so I'm just going to say SURPRISE ME.

Does it really matter? Imagination is more important than knowledge - Especially when "knowledge" is nothing but unsubstantiated rumours.It's not a complete list but it's probably legit.
Is it so wrong to have a little bit of imagination on the forums without people trying to drown it in unconfirmed "information leaks"?

Maybe a cool male mage with a dark personality, not too babyish though.
