Headhunter? That would be awesome!

Dalish Mage Inquisitor: Emhyr Lavellan. Necromancer
As First to the Keeper of his clan Emhyr grew up learning the lore, history, culture and rites of the Dalish. He is very interested in learning more about the Beyond and would love to visit the Dales. He believes that the Dalish should be more involved in the world and help their fellow elves regardless if they are city or Dalish. He knows enough about humans but is wary of the Chantry. He respects Andraste as a noble woman and a powerful mage. His disagreement with the Keeper regarding the nature of spirits and their divergent views on elves and humans forced him to leave. Taking this as an opportunity he decides to explore the world, unearthing ancient knowledge. He visits the Temple of Sacred Ashes out of scholarly curiosity and to hear what the Chantry's view on magic is, realising it could affect the People if they become more harsher towards mages.
He is cynical, sarcastic elf with a great deal of curiosity about arcane knowledge and the history of the Elvhen. His new powers intrigue him and he is determined to help out the elves. Under Vivienne's influence he has adopted a more Orlesian style of clothing. His decision to study necromancy is one he made out of an interest in the spirits and the Beyond.

For my elves: Born in an alienage, escaped with parents around the age of 10 to go find the Dalish and was raised as one of them, but still remembers how bad the alienage was. He'll work to improve that.

1st playthrough - Qunari Warrior - Keitan Adaar: The son of two kossith who fled Seheron and broke away from the Qun. His father was a Sten, a member of the Beressad whilist his mother was a Ben-Hassrath who was referred as Tallis (tribute ftw). They've lead their lifes as wandering mercenaries and raised Keitan to be as such, as they knew little else beyond their roles in the Qun. Keitan is sarcastic, cynical and most of the times indifferent - he is loyal to whomever pays more and casts aside the morality of his jobs, he's a sword his employers use to kill, not the swordsmen. He looks like a big brute but has a very keen mind and undeveloped leadership talent. He'll have issues leading the Inquisition early on, but will come to accept his role as the plot develops.

 

This is still a sketch a bit of a clichè, but that's how I initially picture my first character.

Because you totally can't be a member of a given society without agreeing with the culture. The Dalish Inquisitor could simply not be a brainless sheep and have their own opinions

A few BG options like ME would be nice imo

Normally I don't come up with backstories for my characters, but in this instance, I'll bite:

 

Name: Alexandra Natasha Trevelyan. This is the first inquisitor I plan to play through as and will likely be my default female.

Class: Warrior. most likely Champion or Templar

Weapon: Sword and shield. Her sword is an almost identical model of the City Guard Sword but with a golden grip rather than a black one. Along the hilt is her name engraved on it along with the picture of a dragon engraved on it. Along the blade is a small engraving with the words "Battle without good cause, is murder", which is the code she lives by. Since she first got her sword, she has sharpened it almost on a daily basis to the point where one could cut a finger off with minimal effort. She polishes and cleans the hilt of her sword so much and well that one might mistake it for the sun. She named her sword "Fabian", after a boy who was murdered in the civil war of her homeland that she had a crush on.

 

Physical looks: Alexandra is a tall woman with long straight golden blonde hair, eyes as blue as the sky, and skin as soft and smooth as a rabbit. She typically wears her hair in two long pig-tails down to her belly-button. Men would swoon in awe at her beauty while women sit in pure envy towards her sheer beauty that even the prettiest of girls can only dream of having.

 

Personality: She originally only fought when she was standing up for herself or someone else, since she swore that she would only use her sword for the well being of herself and of others. She has a kind and gentle, good willed heart full of compassion and sympathy. She's very loving and caring but is very easily angered. When she blows a fuse, the results are sometimes rather gruesome. She is especially loving of children. She can very easily win over the heart of a child and was vital in helping bring up her two younger brothers, Henrik and Linus. She has lashed out against her own parents before for abusing her brothers, that is however from her perspective. She even went as far as to deliberately drag off and torture as well as flog a school teacher who she witnessed yelling at a group of young children as well as harshly assault a thug who she saw intentionally trip a young child.

 

Background: Alexandra was born on a farm in a southern land beyond that of Ferelden even beyond Thedas. Her home climate was very harsh and cold. The people were very technologically advanced and fairly civilized, but were still prone to constant civil war. After things really started to get ugly, she and her parents, her mother pregnant at the time, both fled to Orlais in hope that Orlais would be less chaotic, and a safer environment for their daughter and new soon-to-be child. That would be partly true, and one month later, the Trevelyan's added a baby boy to the bunch, his name was Henrik.

 

If the theories are to be believed, the next addition to the family would be an abandoned infant that Alexandra would take under her care. The baby would later be named "Linus".

 

Romance:  Cole or Dorian if possible. If not, who knows.

 

I will play as an elf and qunari as well.

Faerunner's comment might have more impact being sent to the developers in a tweet or something like that, but I think she was trying to say that it's an issue of the developers always putting the worst Dalish at the forefront. Even the recent novel provided a clan of Dalish as nothing more than a bunch of one-dimensional caricatures who hate everyone, while the human characters were permitted to have actual dimensions to their character, and we had Briala and Felassan act as though Clan Virnehn represented the entirety of the Dalish. It was unbelievably asinine.

 

It doesn't help the image some people have about the Dalish who never bothered to actually look into their lore and see that the worst doesn't exemplify all of them. For those of us who actually looked into it, we know that a clan adopted a human child (who changed the world and removed the limitations blocking women in many areas), we know the Dalish signed a treaty to aid during the Blight after losing their homeland to humans, we know that the Dalish have a contradicting historical account that addresses that they were invaded over their refusal to convert to the human religion, and we know how they have dealt with hostility from human lords and lynch mobs over the centuries to create an atmosphere of distrust and wariness towards outsiders.

 

If you face threats of violence to convert, if forests are burned down to keep you out, if your children are killed, then you're likely going to be cautious about any humans who encroach on your camp. Of course, we typically get the rude behavior, without any context to actually explain the reasons behind it - instead, we get Varric and Fenris making snide remarks, while the centuries of racism, intolerance, and persecution is basically handwaved to paint the Dalish as little more than isolations. No effort is given to address that their culture and religion make them outlaws; we simply get scenes where we encounter rude Dalish, and that's pretty much the extent of it.

 

Most players simply encounter rude Dalish and assume that's all there is to them, because it's typically the worst who are placed at the forefront of the narrative. It's not like the human societies, where we get to see the best and the worst, or even dwarven society, where we have to encounter a plethora of characters to navigate through the story.

 

Even Merrill's comments about how her people view the denizens of the Beyond (the Fade) as spirits are relegated to companion conversations between Anders and her, instead of in the actual scenes with Hawke, where it might initially come across as confusing that she's calling Audacity a "spirit" while Andrastians tend to use the terms "Spirits" or "Demons", and even her admonishing Anders that "all spirits are dangerous" is another conversation that's basically left to random companion dialogue, instead of something that would be heard in an actual scene.

 

Maybe if more effort was given to bring the different dimensions of the Dalish to the forefront, some players wouldn't feel as though they are all the same. It's unfortunate, and I hope this isn't the case with Inquisition.
