Oh I walked right into that.

 

Seriously, would you guys mind offering your thoughts? Because I do a rather bad job at male characters. Or I can stick around and talk Cass.

Really, just play the character as you'd like, but male.  That's been my approach to female PCs, at least.

[Master Warder Z_]

I have a feeling Casandra and my canon Male Human Inquisitor will get along fine.

 

At least in terms of ideology and belief, if not action.

Given Nevarra's history with the Free Marches, it would be funny to learn that the Pentaghasts and Trevelyans are historically enemies.

Cassandra: Why do you have a book with images of people having swords held to their throats?

Inquisitor: It's my copy of the Trevelyan Family Chronology.

Cassandra: That still doesn't explain the pictures.

Inquisitor: Every few decades when your family attempts to conquer the Free Marches a member of my family usually gets decapitated.

Cassandra: Oh.

Inquisitor: Believe me, if my grandfather could see me now he'd be rolling in his grave.

Cassandra: "Sleeping with the enemy?"

Inquisitor: In a sense. Technically, I'm obligated to defeat you in single combat to restore my family's honor.

Cassandra: (kisses the Inquisitor) I'd like to see you try.

My recommendation when you have few ideas is to take a male character from a book/movie/game you like, and build around that concept.

 

For me, I'm building my first Inquisitor(human male rogue) as a Han Solo-esque type. At the beginning, he's going to be very irresponsible and flippant. But over the course of the game, I'm hoping he will become a more mature, responsible leader. And yes, he'll be romancing Cassandra. Oh, those two are going to be fun.

 

With females, I do the same thing. As a straight male, it's very diffcult for me to get into a good 'femaleish' character mindset. I usually end up identifying more through her LI than her. So I create a character concept based around a female character from other works of fiction that I like. My female Dalish elf? She's Eowyn/Arwen from LotR. My female Tabris is Mulan. The best part about characters like that is that they evolve as I play and know the story. They change their outlooks and decisions based on how they process the events they go through. I had a Cousland who was a dedicated, straight-talking, sweet Chantry girl. After the prologue, she became a cynic and the most sarcastic human in Thedas in order to hide her pain. The character I had originally based her on(Juliet from Psych) barely resembled the Warden who died to slay the Archedemon. Awesome role-playing experience, that.

 

Basically steal shamelessly, and the character will evolve as you play them. Works every time.

Combat? As in fighting? Which often is caused when one side is vying for dominance on the other? My mind just went places 

[jtav]

My trouble is that I tend to veer wildly between extremes. Either they're kind of stupid/have poor impulse control or they just want to collect butterflies somewhere and aren't really suited for combat.

 

Oh, there's an idea. Matthias Trevelyan, rogue and perpetual embarrassment to his family because he just wants to study under the painting masters of Val Royeaux. And he's the one with the glowing hand. Oh dear...

Cassandra seems the type to like being dominated, but it has to be honest domination.

 

You have to be faster, stronger and better then her

 

I bet she goes to putty after she loses a fight, did you see how she swooned when Hawke defeated the Arishok?

Flirt Option: Duel Cass on a quiet night and the moment you disarm her in single combat is the moment Cass [insert what you think she will do here] the Inquisitor 

[azarhal]

Also I think no matter how you look at it a mage inquisitor is probably going to get some mixed feelings out of Cassandra whether it is based on her brother getting killed by mages or the mage-templar war that is going on. 

 

Going by DA2 ending and what happened in Asunder, I think Cassandra might actually be blaming the Templars for that one.

Strongly doubt that, but we will see.

 

Its near equal fault for both parties, for the incidents cited.

It's implied that one of the things Cass will have to deal with is that the world is not as black and white as she'd like.

Mmm, Because coddling sedition with civil rights and hot chocolate is the sanest of course of action, obviously.

It can't have had worse results than what actually happened.

Oh i am certain she will, but she shouldn't doubt her own order, she should not doubt the Mandate of that order, or the reason it was founded.  she however doubt the trust worthiness of those think their own personal freedom is worth putting entire nations at risk, and waging war across a continent.

 

Or at least that's what i'd argue to the character, You don't defend the insurgents, you kill them.

[BlueFlame527]

I think in most situations Cassandra seems most likely to bend towards whatever side establishes order. The question is which side is most viable for bringing order?

I imagine each mage has their own opinions on the situation. Some want complete freedom, not being watched, not having their lives changed because of who they are. Others, I imagine, are okay with having a circle and maybe even good templars realizing that not all mages are capable of resisting demons or using their power to their own ends.

The templars also have divisive opinions obviously. There's templars like Cullen (technically a former templar, but I speak of his principles, not just him individually) that want to go back to the main purpose of templars, to watch mages and make sure things don't get out of hand, saying that's all they are supposed to do, and then there are the red templars who are mysterious at the moment as well as templars who follow certain individuals that give templars more purpose than they usually have such as Meredith when she gave templars the right to basically establish a military rule over Kirkwall.

In my opinion Cassandra might favor a circle to teach mages the dangers of magic, but I don't know about the templars to be honest. They seem to be causing more trouble than they are worth. Maybe Cullen will change that though I would not be surprised if he is at the point to where he does not want to have anything to do with the templars any longer being the commander of the Inquisitor's military.

Artificer spec perhaps? Putting some of that creative energy towards taking out the enemy from afar would fit.

[KC_Prototype]

In a twist, they might be gated against humans. Think about about it: all the major disasters in their lives were caused by humans. They might turn to other races for comfort.

Don't even play

[KC_Prototype]

Eh, serves them right for choosing the most vanilla race in an RPG where you can play as BADASS HORNED DRAGON PEOPLE

No, I want to recreate myself or an avatar of myself in the Dragon Age Universe. Besides, humans look the best.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I don't think Cassandra will be race-gated.

I don't either, it seems like too much restrictions.
