My Warden was a relgious human rogue who had a more serious personality, with a bit of sarcasm laced in. She was mostly good, with a few selfish choices in there. She bitterly told Alistair everyone was out for themselves, and then betrayed Anora at the Landsmeet to become Queen. She selfishly told Alistair to do the Dark Ritual, and so became Warden Commander, where she showed forgiveness by recruiting and befriending Nathaniel Howe, and ruthlessness by ordering Amaranthine burned.

Hawke started out siding wih the Templars, mostly to keep her magic hidden. After her brother became a Grey Warden, she started getting more interested in saving her fellow Mages, She ended up rivalmancing Fenris because of this. She kept a sarcastic attitude, and was not religous. 

Really they were quite a bit different, the Warden pretty much stayed out of magical things as much as she could, figuring mages and Templars knew more than she ever would, but everyone knows magic is useful, and found herself trusting Morrigan. Hawke was a Mage who started out trying to hide at the cost of other mages, but she couldn't keep it up after her brother left. changing her opinion as Meredith started to lose her mind.

I'll likely try to be a Neutral Inquisitor, I imagine many of the Circles end up like the Stanford Prison Experiment., but Mages are dangerous too. If Kirkwall showed me anything, it's the terrifying power of blood mages.

My warden was a proud Dalish female rogue. She dual-wielding rogue who wore heavy armor because she liked to have a nice amount of defense. She started out as racist, but eventually warmed up to her human companions - to the point of romancing Alistair and staying by his side. She was had a warm heart but was also pretty sarcastic cracking jokes to ease situations. She felt mostly like an outsider in most places and made the choices she thought the best - she sided with the elves and freed the werewolves, saved the mages - not out of siding one way or another, she was pretty neutral to the mage plight, but just because they were innocent.

My lady hawke was a dual-wielding/archery mixed rogue (who romanced Isabella) and she was pro-mage because of her protective nature of her Bethany, which grew more so after Carver's death. She was sarcastic and didn't really want to be a hero but wanted to speak up for the voice her sister wasn't allowed to have. She spared Anders, was sympathetic to the elves' plight. Her sister became a grey warden. She had a big heart but didn't enjoy what life threw at her.

My inquistor I'm not sure yet, but I plan a elven rogue with a much more neutral -out for myself- sort of feel to her. (Or a Qunari female Mage)

I always play a "Hero" type character so they won't be too different from each other. Oh, and after a MONTHS long absence I am back on forums! The short version....been busy.

My canon characters are both blood mages. But other than that and being generally pretty awesome they weren't a lot alike and I don't think they'd have much in common at a dinner party.

My Warden was lawful neutral who slid into neutral evil. She really took Irving's statement, "If you want to survive, you must learn the rules and realize that sometimes, sacrifices are necessary," to heart. Coupled with the whole Grey Warden "do whatever it takes" thing, well...I nicknamed her "the Betrayer" and she took whatever power-ups came her way. The epigraph to her story would be, from Alain Badiou, "this is why ethics would be better named...a smug nihilism."

My Hawke was chaotic good...mostly. She might have used the murder knife a little too often. And she might have been a little mad at Blondie for not letting her help turn the Chantry into a Pink Floyd laser light show (but still glad that all that blood is on his hands and not hers). Went mostly sarcastic with her, except toward Merrill to whom she was actually pretty nice. Her epigraph, from Nelson Mandela, is “When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.”

My canon Quizzy will likely also be a blood mage because, why not? I'm not sure what she'll be, but a chaotic neutral Qunari with a thing for lighting stuff on fire sounds pretty fun.

I played my (favorite) mage warden as a basically good person who tried to do the best for everyone, who was loyal and loving to her friends, implacable to her enemies.

My favorite Hawke was a snarky, slightly larky rogue who tried (but didn't always succeed) to do the best for everyone, who was loyal and loving to her friends, implacable to her enemies.

Sense a theme there? We can't know yet what they have in store for the Inquisitor, but for me some things hold constant. My Inquisitor will be loyal and loving to her friends, implacable to her enemies.

I can't play an unconscionable bastard, even my darker, more selfish characters still have a streak of morality with some lines remaining uncrossable. If I don't like them, I don't enjoy playing them, and I can't finish a character.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

Mine are all pretty much similar...Or will be....All mages..Though different races....

[Dorrieb]

My warden was a city elf rogue, angry as hell, relentlessly motivated by getting justice for her people and not at all adverse to getting violent about it. Her most important relationship was to her cousin Shianni, who was somewhat less extreme but shared the same goals. I 'got' her completely, still do.

My Hawke never really felt 'mine'. She didn't seem to have any personal goals or motivations. Act One at least had 'let's get rich', so okay, she wants to get rich, I get that. But after she's rich (and as her family disintegrates around her), why does she keep getting involved in everything? The lack of motivation stifled my involvement with the character.

My inquisitor... I wish I knew. I fear they won't have given her any motivation beyond 'I must save the world because, well, the world must be saved, and I must save it!', but we'll see.

[JayCaesar12]

My Warden was kind of an ass. He was angry, vindictive, and was not afraid to use a little extra violence to get what he wanted.

My Hawke was similar, but was much more calm and willing to talk and negotiate. I headcanon that seeing his brother, sister, and mother die affected him, making him much more peaceful than he was when he first got to Kirkwall.

[Tempest_]

I guess I'd describe my canon Warden as an idealist who was committed to uniting Ferelden whilst maintaining his morality amidst the chaos of the blight. He was what you'd expect a noble from the human Origin story to be like I guess. Cultured, pious but inexperienced and naive enough to always favour idealistic over pragmatic solutions.

Hawke on the other hand was someone who was willing to break laws and bend rules to achieve what he wanted. He wasn't evil or sinister, just not above smuggling from time to time. He prioritised his family and companions above everything including the best interests of Kirkwall.

I think my inquisitor will be more of a seasoned pragmatist.

I'm going with a pragmatic female noble dwarf, so I'll follow with a pragmatic Hawke and Inquisitor in a future run

[AzukiJin]

I just replayed DA:O recently, and I played as a Freedom Fighting Semi-Joking-Honest Elven Mage, she doesn't like needless death and only threaten people when she is pissed off. She likes the chantry not the templar's oppression. Typical Chaotic Good Alignment, she would usually get incredibly angry when Alistair, Sten, Oghren, Zevren or Shale kept getting in the way of her fireballs. She is the typical Super-Hero... However, she is it due to the fact, she forgot that she could get help, especially in the final battle of Denerime, she never called the Archers of Dalish, Warriors of Dwarves and Men nor the mages of the Circle... Because she forgot about them... Too busy burning everything with fire.

Hawke, also mage, was sort of like Alistar, almost always joked around and tried to be funny when she was suppose to be serious, but at times, she got honest and opened up,

My Inquisitor would be having an "Hero-Ego" thinking she is immortal and can do anything on her own, saying "No" when people offering her help, unless she finds them exceptional good at what they do (Companions, but no NPC help) as she had heard of the Elven Mage Gray Warden, Ravaging through the Blight and slayed the ArchDemon with only 4 people, including herself. Striving to be as good as the Hero of Ferelden who she looks up to, she deny any help given to her, so she can bathe in all of the glory herself. However, she is not a good example of a leader as she would tend to joke when she is not suppose to... And be offended when others tells joke to her. Be diplomatic to villains that want to do trades, until she realized that are actually trying to do something evil and then she changes her mind and kills them.

Given that each sort of picks up from where the other leaves off, are they the same personality wise (good warden leads to good Hawke and now good inquisitor), or do you throw in someone who would be antagonistic to the previous hero?

I saw my elven mage as pragmatic. My Surana Warden recognized the importance in the Grey Wardens' fight against the darkspawn, executed the Messenger, refused to deal with the Architect, and worked towards stopping the greatest threat to Thedas - from sparing the Anvil to encouraging Avernus' research.

My apostate Champion was different; he was willing to try to control Corypheus to stop future Blights until he discovered Janeka was working alongside the Corypheus-driven carta thralls, and refused to work with her further. His focus wasn't on stopping the darkspawn, but on the plight of the mages.

If the rumors about a Dalish Inquisitor prove true, I'd like to shape a character who can strive for making the goal of the Elvhen a reality.

[Aesir26]

Female human rogue- I haven't really thought about her in depth but she's fairly coercive or "political" depending on how you view it. Handy since I had her marry Alistair. She started off as formal and fairly docile but after her origin I gradually made her a little more defiant, not willing to be pushed around so much. In terms of the templar-mage conflict, she's fairly pro-Mage due to her friendship with Wynne and Awakening Anders as well as the fact that she didn't see many mages abusing their abilities.

Female rogue Hawke- Although she was primarily diplomatic she was definitely rough around the edges and was not fond of the noble lifestyle of post-Act 1 in the slightest. There were times where I had her dip into the snarky and aggressive dialogue options depending on the situation. I started her off as fairly pro-Mage due to Bethany but between Fenris (who I had chosen as her LI), Merrill being a blood mage, some of Anders' actions with Justice, Leandra's murder, and just being in Kirkwall in general, by the end of the game she became quite neutral about the whole thing. I would have given her some slight anti-Mage leanings but there was still her affection for her sister and her father to contend with. Granted, I did have her say some fairly anti-mage things around Anders just for the sake of riling him up.

As for my Inquisitor, I'm planning for a male elf although I'm still deciding between rogue and warrior for his class. A lot of what he might be will depend on whatever origin he will get in the game but for the moment I'm thinking of starting him squarely in the anti-mage camp.

[Direwolf0294]

All my RPG characters are basically the same person. Compassionate, kind, self sacrificing people who put the use of words above violence. I might play my Inquisitor a little differently, just for a change.

[superdeathdealer14]

Warden: chaotic good
Hawke: lawful good
Inquisitor: true neutral

[BronzTrooper]

My first three for each game:

Male Dalish elf Dual-wield Rogue: reasonable, logical, open-minded, respectful. Jonathan Hawke (mage): ditto. Female Dalish elf Daul-wield Rogue (what? I like the Dalish and I like rogues): ditto again

<--- Male Dwarf noble S&S Warrior: cocky, respectful to Wardens, doesn't care much about humans and elves, known to hold grudges. Jennifer Hawke (duel-wield rogue): jokester, prankster, carefree, protective of family. Male Qunari Two-handed Warrior: arrogant, stoic, could care less about the other races, pragmatic.

Female Elf mage (Arcane Warrior/Blood Mage): jokester, carefree, doesn't like templars, disagrees with Chantry policies on how to 'deal with' mages, willing to try anything. Francis Hawke (S&S warrior): mostly serious, hates templars, very protective of family, sometimes aggressive, prefers to help mages, excellent judge of character. Female Dwarf Archer Rogue (not sure if dwarf noble is an option): doesn't take things seriously, never very serious, decent judge of character, carefree, friendly, somewhat naive.

[Fyurian2]

My problem with typical RPGs that allow us to dictate the personality of our characters, is that I usually play them as an extension of myself, or how I ideally see myself in the setting. This always leads to the "good guy" approach.
In contrast, I do make a point of having alternate characters of different moral alignments/attitudes, simply so that I'm getting the most out of a game. Admittedly I do have be in the right frame of mind for such a playthrough, and even extending that to my capability of playing female characters in RPGs.

The only real constant is that I always play the male warrior/soldier "good guy" to begin with, and each subsequent playthrough I try to make at least one or two alternate characters for gender and moral differences.

My "Canon" Warden and Hawke are both pretty goody two shoes types, but I wouldn't say they're the same.

Averan Mahariel tended to oscillate between whimsical and wistful, treating most situations lightly (At least as a facade) and found himself balancing an attachment to his Dalish roots and a curiosity about the wider world.

Amelia Hawke was much more grumpy. She meant well, but wasn't afraid to throw out some verbal abuse if she felt someone needed it. (I tended to switch between diplomatic and Aggressive responses on that playthrough).  She only got more jaded over the course of the game after Carver becoming a Grey Warden and her mother's death.

I'm hoping to make my Inquisitor (I plan female Qunari sword and shield warrior) a more morally ambiguous individual.

[Kikidori]

I've been thinking, I might make a Qunari that will try to follow the qun as closely as the game allows me to.

[Makkah876]

My Warden was kind and supportive to his friends and those in need, but threatened and or killed anyone that sassed him. My Hawke was more of an all around nice guy though.

[al0u]

Warden: Dalish elf - human and dwarf politics: you really want my opinion? I just do whatever Keeper Marithari tells me to do...is the blight over yet? I want to go home... sure Alistair sleep with Morrigan, isn't that all you humans do anyway is hump each other?

Hawke: I'm sorry your life sucks, but seriously quit blaming that sh** on me...(I usually took the red options when dealing with family and friends, because I was sick of their whining)

[Kov]

My Warden and my Hawke share many points of view, since I go with what I feel right in my first playthroughs, but they have very different personalities and ways of dealing with things.
My Warden was a two-handed Cousland warrior who started as a righteous knight type, but slowly fell into a true neutral kind of character that would do practically anything for the wardens, despite her personal sympathies. She's kind, diplomatic, practical and prone to second chances. Still, she's the kind to hold grudges for a long time.
My archer Hawke, on the other hand, started as a rogue-like kind of character, selfish and uninterested in anything other than protecting her family, specially Bethany. By the end of the game, she was a chaotic "good" mage supporter who agreed with Anders decision to blow up the Chantry for the cause. She's sarcastic, idealistic and not very open-minded (for example, she hated Sebastian for his reaction at the end of the third act without considering what the man had lost in that explosion), and tends to speak her mind more than it 'd be wise.

About my Inquisitor... I'm not sure. Probably a human too, and a mage this time around. I can't say who she'll be until I know where she comes from.

[ElvaliaRavenHart]

I'd guess most of my Wardens and Hawke's are Chaotic Netural. All of them tried to gather as much information as possible to make an informed decision to decide on a course of action. All of them are willing to get their hands dirty to achieve their ends. All of them are not opposed to causing havoc to A-holes who are causing unwarranted harm to innocents or bystanders. They are not above board causing havoc to snobs in the game. They at times do good when nobody is looking - they do have a reputation to maintain. Sometime your rep can just as easily win a fight or I guess the silver tongue approach. My Inquisitors will be for the most part the same as the new game allows.   It also depends on her/his mood they can be a hard mouth individual when they need to be.  I have a SS Female Hawke who didn't take crap from anybody.  She really enjoyed telling Sebastian off over Anders or anybody else who got in her way.  Some of my Wardens were this way too. 

I also take into consideration my character's backstory on how I role play it.   If I'm a mage, elf, or dwarf I smart off to every human or person in authority on the surface as I can.
