I nominate Dojima Ryotaro from Persona 4 Golden!
Oh, delicious. Dojima is my catnip. OK...I really have to go to bed. I've been up reading the entirety of this thread while working on admission essays and eating coffee ice cream. I'm going to feel so gross in the morning. Night y'all!
Gosh there's so much bad atmosphere in and out of this fan thread.
I get the bad atmosphere outside this fanthread (mostly), but what is so bad about the atmosphere in this thread? 
We are all playing nice here 
This thread always has a good atmosphere, to me. I've been guilty of jumping into that other thread a couple times, but it just doesn't seem worth it. I'd rather be here in happy, beardy Blackwall love. Guess I just like it in the barn 
The get to know you character thing is a wonderful idea. Can't wait to read everyone's. I started mine, but need to edit it down. I tend to over-write and indulge myself when talking about my characters. I just love them so much. Ahhhh. Must. edit. it's like having vacation photos. Every one is interesting and fun to you, but show them to other people and they're kind of going... "ummm... but that one is out of focus and is that... a foot?" While you're laughing hysterically. "Yes! It's a foot! Bwahahha." "Is this the tenth picture of the same place?" "yeah! But see, they're all slightly different angles! Isn't it great?!" I'm side-eyeing myself really hard now.
Also, I know some here like a little crack with their ship. Here's a Blackwall x Dorian ficlet piece!
But I want to rant about ages!!! Specifically one age and that age is Dragon Age, and how there's no DLC for it yet with shirtless Blackwall and shirtless Loghain competing in a brood off. (First rule of brood off: shirts off)
...I should go to bed but I am 100% srs about that and how important it would be to the world and by world I mean me I want it please.
I'm reading the Calling...
Loghain...
This is a nice thread and the only reason why I returned on BSN 
The other thread would be a nice play to discuss too, I have agreed to disagree with some people who thinks differently from me and we discussed in a most polite way. Sadly it's just overloaded with the same crap from the same you-know-who, but I read a lot of interesting posts too.
What I can't stand are the people who throw judgements without knowing what they are talking about. I've never been in a situation like Rainier's and on the other hand I never saved one single human life, just some dogs from the kennel. That's why I would never judge someone for their actions, I have no idea how I would behave in their same situation. I like to think that I would be a better person than Rainier, but I can't be sure. So, I don't judge.
Second, I've never lived a life of self-sacrifice to help people, that's why I don't feel like I'm in a position to judge a man who does it, despite everything he might have done in the past. To my eyes, someone who dedicates his life to save people, simply shines.
There's a line from Varric in the game, a banter in which he talks with Blackwall about the fact that people are uncomfortable with their presence (you can often hear comments like 'we want no trouble here' coming from commoners in many places). Varric says that the 'creepy people' like them exist in order to do the dirty job so that the 'good' people can stay at home minding their own business. It fits so much imho.
I love Loghain a lot too, and Duncan in the Calling simply shines 
So, are we doing the "meet my character" thing on 500 pages? Because I never miss a chance to show off my OCs 
That other thread has this hilarious "Rainier is responsible for every crime in Thedas and beyond" thing going on sometimes, so it's a good read.
Hey there my Blackwallers. Just poking my head in.
Went to PAX South and it was great. Wore my flower beard on Sunday for a little bit, but damn Texas weather -- too rainy to wear it on Friday, then suddenly it was too hot to wear it most of the time.
I don't know if it's been posted on any other forums (and I didn't take a picture of it sadly), but there was a new artwork we will probably see in the new lore book that features all major DA characters, and I did spot our dear Blackwall in there. He'll be towards the center, IIRC.
Anyway, loving the vibe in here, and yeah venturing out is a little... ewwgh. Keep on being awesome though, y'all are great.
Hi, is there going to be a DLC soon? What they did they talk about? 
I didn't hear anything about a DLC, they mostly took a lot of time to answer questions about the Making Of, the multiplayer, and etc. No annoucements. I went to one of the art panels and that's where I saw the artwork.
I didn't get the opportunity to catcall anyone this year, which was a little sad. At last year's PAX Prime, I catcalled Blackwall during a live demo of the Fallow Mire. Some of you may remember that...
Okay, I'm actually going to try and fill out the thing Gorgo posted for page 500. I think it's a great idea. Hopefully I can get it done. My daughter is having like a dozen girls over this weekend. Lol, not really, only 3. But we'll see if I get time or not.
I haven't gotten any of the art books. I should get on that.

I'll wait to see one of yours before launching myself in this ^^'''
@Rinji: So no DLC yet... well, I'll have the time to finish my second run calmly. How was the general mood? I know Gaider recently quitted tumblr and I can understand why 
OK trying this again. I wanted to know what Blackwall might look like beardless so I gave it a shot.

dafaq 
, it's not the fact that he has no beard, but the combination of CGI and painting *shudders*
I like it. Turning off the beard model makes him look odd because I'm pretty sure they reduced his jaw/chin to sidestep the clipping issues. The painting gives a better idea of his facial structure.
That's interesting!
edit: And Gilsa's right, you can see more of how his face might actually be with the paint rather than like below when it's removed without changing the shape.
I think the thing with him not having a beard looking a little strange really has to do with beards in this game. They have to make the face shape good for the beard. His cheeks are more sunken than I think they would be. You can see it in the things like:
and then the no beard mod, that has the scruff as part of his face:
Personally, I looooove the beard. Give me all his beardy goodness, yum!
I'll also try writing the character bio thing - doing it for page 500 sounds like a lovely idea!
Also, I approve of the DILF-off plans - was pleased to see that in DAI Loghain has become the DILF I always wanted him to be 
And, yes, shirtless. *Nods*. Have never read the books though - I should remedy that.
Definitely prefer the full beard - once you try beard, you never go back!
Hmm, I actually like the shorn off beard, instead of having it all long and pointy at the bottom, lol
