[Rajmael Levellan, Dalish Elf] - [Rogue] - [30] - [Male] - [Heterosexual]

 

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism? I'd rather die.

 

1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything? I am a hunter, the Vir Tanadhal is my practice and I practice constantly.

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service? All Dalish are devout. To both our gods and our people and we will surrender neither.

 

2. Are they pro-Circle? Yes. The Circle should be a place of learning and enlightenment, where mages are taught to use their gift for the benefit of their people, not a dungeon where the humans throw away their shame.

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar? No. Too many Templars use religious zealotry to commit appalling acts.

2b.  Are they anti-Mage? Locking magic away is like trying to block out the sun, you can either stamp it out when it shines through and hope it goes away soon or you can let it in to light the room and let you see in the dark. But like any gift it can be misused, like the Tevinters. So magic must be taught by the wise not the superstitious.

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages? Yes. If you treat mages like prisoners or animals then that's exactly how they'll behave.

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage? Yes.

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar? Yes. The Templars are jailors to those who should be free or hunters of those who are. They are motivated by a religion built on fear.

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages? Yes and No. If a mage wants to escape or live outside the Circle and live a decent life that should be their right. Mortals were created in the image of the gods and the gods abhor evil and therefore mortals cannot live in presence of evil.

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule? I would gladly watch that filthy, slave-run country burn to the ground for what it has done and continues to do to all elves.

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility The rich eat and get fat on food they didn't hunt or harvest and force the commoners to live off crumbs. They do nothing to help their own people, they just leech off them.

4b. The Poor Many are left in dire situations because of the nobles and have no way of getting out. Be loyal to them and they'll be loyal to you.

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith Just another outside force that will eventually come after my people and force us to once more be on our knees. They are a clear and present threat and I will not allow them to threaten my peoples existence.

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism One form of the Chantry is no different than the other. They are both built upon the backs of slaves and the destruction of the elvehn.

               5c. The Old Gods They were the very source of Arlathan's fall and yet like the Tevinter Imperium that worshipped them, they have fallen time and time again.

               5d. The Dalish Faith Alduin, grant that my aim be true and my heart be strong. Dirthamen, reveal to me the secrets to victory. Mythal grant me protection, in this my time of battle. And should the worse come to pass, that the Dread Wolf come my way and my enemy over take me, I ask thee, Elgar'nan, for vengeance.

               5f. Atheism If they don't want to be heard by the gods, then that is the path they have chosen.

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves The Durgen'len have never harmed me or my people and the ones I see on the surface seem like they just want to make a living. I can't understand why the dwarves of Orzammar would hate their own kind so much, just because of what caste they were born in or where they're from.

6b.  City Elves I don't dislike or pity my city-cousins. I doubt living with the humans is easy, but I can't fathom those who willingly serve them. For those who wish to find us and learn the true ways of the People, I gladly welcome them.

6c.  Dalish Elves We are the Keeper of The Lost Lore. Never again will we kneel to anyone.

6d.  Humans The Humans have committed too many crimes against both my people and our city brethren. If there is to be any kind of peace between us they must either make the first move or be knocked off their high perch.

6e.  (the) Kossith They are ones who abandoned an oppressive lifestyle to pursue their own path as they see fit. Perhaps they and my people have more in common than most think.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais The elves in Halamshiral live like servants in a land that's supposed to be theirs! The nobles there treat elves and even their own kind like they were cattle and get fat off their labor! They claim they are the apex of civilization and yet are famous for their debauchery and sin! Their hypocrisy is sickening! If elves are to ever have our homeland back we must first bring down this empire of decadence.

7b.  Ferelden I don't quite understand it, but the city elves there actually take pride in being an elf in Ferelden. Something about nobles not being so high above regular people and how the Fereldans value skill and honor over titles. But is this true or just something the elves there like to tell themselves to keep their spirits high?

7c.  Tevinter The very place that brought my people low and stole our heritage from us. If there was ever a kingdom that deserved to be destroyed for what it does to all people it is Tevinter!

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic? I strive for my ideals but I'm not blinded by them. This is a harsh and unjust world and whether we like it or not, sometimes we must conform to it.

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means? Kill one to save a thousand? Is the thousand worth the one being sacrificed?

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Yes. The privileged few must not be selfish or arrogant enough to think that they know what best for the many. But sometimes many must be sacrificed for a necessary or inspiring few.

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others? Yes. That is the whole purpose of being a protector of the world.

 

9.  What alignment are they?  Neutral Good.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor? Taking up the mantle of the Inquisitor is a sacrifice all on its own. I have the burden of a whole world on my shoulders and any action I take can bring change or ruin to many.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy? I don't have the luxury of being lazy and those that do really make me want to puke.

 

12.  Are they intelligent? What do you consider intelligent? Intelligence, knowledge and wisdom are not the same thing.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? I am unused to the ways of the Shemlen and their convoluted sense of worth. But being a hunter has taught me how to feel the air around me and read into a situation so that I may act with precision.

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed? I know a great deal of elven lore and language and have been taught how to read, write and speak in several Shem languages.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense? I'm afraid you'll find Dalish common sense to be radically different from what your common sense might be.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change? That's what the wilderness and the Vir Tanadahl teaches us.

12e.  Are they skilled artistically? I'm skilled at wood carving and whittling and I can play the lyre.

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious? I take everything seriously. Being funny wastes time.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism? My bow is my defense mechanism.

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it? I don't even make the attempt.

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment?  I have yet to even feel such a thing as romance.

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family? My clan is my family, the elders are my parents and the youngling are my siblings,I love them all.

6e.  (the) Kossith - Caution. Strangers with a faith that's dangerous for him.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

9.  What alignment are they? Lawful Neutral

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor? As a position to bring order to Thedas. To clean up the messes of the Templars and the Chantry and ensure it doesn't happen again.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy? Dutiful

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? Not as much as he could be given he's a Circle Mage.

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism? He'll revert to a grouchy, sarcastic tone as a defense mechanism.

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? He does enjoy companionship and is a loyal lover.

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family? He never really knew his family and only has bittersweet memories of them.

[safehayven]

This is a great idea!  I haven't given the character much thought...mostly because it's still 60+ days out!  This was fun for me to get the ideas flowing.

[Saoirse Trevelyan, Human] - [Mage] - [25] - [Female - [Heterosexual]

 

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism? Absolutely, unequivocally not.

 

1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything? Saoirse resents the Chantry - she doesn't know what to believe.  Agnostic, if anything.

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service?  She had to give lip service while in the Circle.  She resents the Chantry, and the resentment of the institution has led to to a resentment for the faith itself.

 

2. Are they pro-Circle? Nope.

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar? She is divided; she has a rash hatred of the Circle and the Chantry, but has seen Templars do good things, and knows that some mages are, in fact, dangerous.  She's more inclined to be against Templars than for them, though.

2b.  Are they anti-Mage? No.

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages? No.  She has no support for the Circle.

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage?  In a sense, yes.  More pro-mage than anti, at least.

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar?

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages? She is a bit naive, and supports apostates unfailingly, even though a part of her knows that not all apostates are innocent.  She believes maleficarum and blood mages in particular are driven to that choice, but she also believes that that's weakness on their part.

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule?  Absolutely not; slavery, to her, feels far too much like the Circle.

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility: She used to love the opulence of her upbringing, and since she was a child when she was brought to the Circle, tends to exaggerate, in her head, the memories of wealth and freedom.  She has a secret longing to go back to those days, but she's still got a lot of anger in her at her family for not shielding her from the Circle.  She tends to be bitterly cynical of nobles because of it.

4b. The Poor: Saoirse doesn't really understand the poor.  She's seen more of them in the Circle, of course, but poverty scares her.

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith: She has only read it in books, and is mostly ignorant.  She is curious, but has never inquired further.

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism: Burn, you bastards, burn.

               5c. The Old Gods: Fascinating, but strictly in an academic setting.

               5d. The Dalish Faith: Once more, she doesn't know much about them.  But she finds the Dalish people to be interesting, and emphasizes with their exile, as she feels she was exiled from her own home and rightful place in the world when she was forced to join the Circle.  If there was a worldview and a faith she could get behind, it would be the Dalish.

               5f. Atheism: Tempting, but she has never been able to embrace it fully.  

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves: Saoirse has a stereotypical view of them - merchants and miners, all bearded and money-grubbing.  She doesn't know any personally.

6b.  City Elves: They are poor and likely disease ridden, right?  She has a very skewed view of elves in general, and especially the city elves.  She has been very shy around the few city elves brought into the Circle.

6c.  Dalish Elves: Saoirse romanticizes the Dalish, and sees them as their own kind of "apostate" in defiance of the Chantry.  Beyond books, though, she has no notion of the reality of the Dalish, and will be in for some interesting lessons as her saga continues on.

6d.  Humans: She has a much easier time judging humans as individuals, obviously, and an understanding of the class systems within human society.  Still, she can't help but feel like humans are a greedy bunch who seem to be making a mess of things.

6e.  (the) Kossith: Terrifying horned madmen.  Somewhat like rabid dogs on a leash.  She does not like what she has read of the Qun, and finds the whole idea savage.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais: They have beautiful artwork and beautiful dresses!  If she could escape her life, she wouldn't mind being whisked off to a fancy Orlesian party where she could flutter like a butterfly on the dance floor and enjoy her freedom from the Circle.

7b.  Ferelden: She loves the story of the Warden King and Queen, but Ferelden mostly sounds cold and dirty and ugh.

7c.  Tevinter: They give a bad name to mages, but she is jealous of the freedom in which they practice their magic.  Still, she wouldn't be able to embrace the idea of "magic at any cost."

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic?  Very idealistic.  She is young and naive, and having grown up in the Circle, has no real notion of the outside world.  That being said, she's very angry, and has a great deal of bitterness harbored inside.

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means?  No.  Do it right, do no harm.  Or, at least, no harm to your friends or bystanders.  As for the enemy?  In the ground they go!  Survive.

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Not if the few include friends and loved ones.

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others?  She would be terrified, and would hesitate - but in the end, yes, provided she thought that they were a good person.  She's not so altruistic as to die for just anyone.

 

9.  What alignment are they? Somewhere between neutral and chaotic good.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?  With terror and disbelief - and not a little sense of irony.  She wants to end the danger; she hates being a pawn of the Chantry.  In fact, she uses her position to be anything but as often as possible.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy?  Very dutiful, although she daydreams, and it can be perceived as laziness.

 

12.  Are they intelligent?  Book smart, but people dumb.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people?  She is awkward and horrible at reading people.  Her insecurities means that she tends to read more hostility into people's actions than is usually intended.

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed?  Yes!  She is academically well versed.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense?  At times.  Her temper gets the better of her; when she is able to be level headed, yes, she can be very practical.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change?  She isn't used to change, and it scares her.  That said, she has a dogged determination; even if she isn't happy with the change or feeling particularly brave, she'll try to work around it.

12e.  Are they skilled artistically?  Andraste's knickers, no.

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious?  She tries to be funny and lighten the mood, but inside she's usually less jovial than she tries to pretend.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism?  Absolutely.

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it?  All.  The.  Time.

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment?  She's had some childhood crushes in the Circle, but nothing very serious.  

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family?  She misses them fiercely, but blames them for putting her in the Circle, and harbors resentment at them.  She'd never admit to missing them.

Dar'Harel Lavellan - Mage - 24 - Male - Heterosexual

 

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism? No

 

1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything? Dar'Harel believes in the Dalish pantheon of gods, i.e. the Creators and Fen'Harel.

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service? Dar'Harel doesn't express his religion very openly or forces anyone to believe the same thing. He "prays in silence", I guess you could say.

 

2. Are they pro-Circle? Yes

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar? Yes. Dar'Harel believes that 'order' is key in life, and in the world. I'm not saying he's anti-change, because he definitely is not: he just resents chaos, and everyone that endorses it. He believes the Templar Order is the only thing standing between mages and chaos.

2b.  Are they anti-Mage? Well, in a way. Dar'Harel, while being is a mage, is a strong believer of order, as I've said previously, and the rebellion of various Circles throughout Thedas doesn't sit well with him. He believes mages need to be controlled and watched over, not only for the good of society, but also their own. So he's anti-Anders, but not anti-mage in general.

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages? Look above.

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage? No.

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar? No.

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages? Definitely not.

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule? No.

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility Dar'Harel is a little envious of nobles and their extravagant lifestyles, though in the end he wouldn't want to be one. He does have respect for the way they - especially the Orlesian nobility - wage wars in parties, at balls, during banquets and so on, and less so on the battlefield. The walls of palaces may run with blood, at least they're not trampling the countryside sitting on high warhorses. What he doesn't like, however, is how most nobles seem to treat those lesser than them.

4b. The Poor Being poor is probably the most lucky you can be in Thedas, and Dar'Harel knows it. Though he does pity those people, and he wants to help them if he can. The way they are being treated is the number one reason why, as has been said previously, he hates the majority of nobles. 

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith There is a beauty in the Qun, of which Dar'Harel feels ashamed to admit that he recognizes it. In many ways, the Qun appeals to him, but in the end, he thinks the Qunari are taking it too far by trying to convert everyone, and he feels like their vision of order can be limited in most ways, especially when it comes to their views of magic.

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism He'd rather not talk about that, seeing as how he does not like it one bit.

               5c. The Old Gods Should be forgotten about, or left to the Grey Wardens - whom he very much admires.

               5d. The Dalish Faith As stated above, he believes in the Creators so he very much endorses it.

               5f. Atheism He is fine with people believing what they want, even if they don't want to believe anything.

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves He doesn't have a strong opinion on dwarves. He feels like the dwarven caste system is very outdated, and gives a completely wrong, even false sense of order to those that seek it. He does admire the Legion of the Dead. As for the race itself, he's not a racist. He likes every race for what they are.

6b.  City Elves Same as how he feels about the poor. 

6c.  Dalish Elves He loves his own clan, and the Dalish in general, though he just can't find it within his heart to feel sympathy for some Dalish, especially when they endanger the fate of their own respective clans. Though he can forgive, as he probably would Merrill, in some cases. 

6d.  Humans Dar'Harel likes humans just as much as about every other race. 

6e.  (the) Kossith Same as above.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais There is something to admire in the noble culture of Orlais and how it handles its national diplomacy, though he does feel like improvements could be made within the country itself, especially now that a civil war has broken out and the elves have rebelled.

7b.  Ferelden Dar'Harel has deep admiration for the way Ferelden stood against the Blight just ten years ago, and he'd love to see the country flourish once again, maybe with improved conditions for the poor.

7c.  Tevinter For reasons previously stated, Dar'Harel is strongly against the idea of a mageocracy.

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic?

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means? If those ends mean 'order', and there is no alternative that would make the means less unethical, then yes.

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Same with the above answer: depends on which needs mean 'order' and if unethicality can be avoided.

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others? If that would be best for the greater good, then yes.

 

9.  What alignment are they? I'm not big on alignments, but I guess it'd be 'Lawful Neutral'.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor? First and foremost, his job is to bring stability back to Thedas by thwarting the destruction of said continent at the hands of a demonic invasion from the Beyond. Bringing order back to the world is important, but secondary.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy? Dutiful.

 

12.  Are they intelligent? Quite.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? Dar'Harel does like to think he can read people, but he might often fail as he doesn't have a lot of life-experience outside of life with his Dalish clan.

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed? As far as that is possible within the confines of a Dalish clan-life.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense? This depends on what you would define as 'wise' and 'common sense'. Dar'Harel feels like it is important to listen to those he woud perceive as wise, i.e. his advisors within the Inquisition.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change? If that change does not point to destruction and ruin, then yes.

12e.  Are they skilled artistically? Not really. Dar'Harel does like playing with his spells from time to time, admire the beauty that comes from it and to remember that he is a mage like all the others, to not dehumanize them, and he can really admire a good piece of art, but outside of that he can produce nothing of artistic value.

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious? Dar'Harel is mostly serious, though he does find himself occasionally cracking a witty joke.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism? No.

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it? Dar'Harel only uses humour when he feels like his jokes could generate some laughs, so he mostly sticks to being serious.

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? Dar'Harel is a romantic at heart.

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family? Very much so. Your family is some type of order that you can find within your life, no?

 

I loved doing this, really quite helped fleshing out my character more!

[LMGtheV]

This really helped me shape up a character concept. Good job!

               5a. The Qunari Faith  She respects the Qun, but she doesn't exactly like it.  She is wary of those of the Qun.

               5c. The Old Gods  She knows little of the Old Gods other than the fact that they are dragons and were worshiped by ancient Tevinter.  Overall, she is unsure what to think of them.

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people?  Yes.  A Dalish hunter must be adept at reading the body language of a target, be it animal, or intelligent.

[twizbuck]

I like to roll a female character as well, so here's one for her. Much more detailed:

 

[Character Name (and by extension, race)] - [Class] - [Age] - [Gender] - [Sexuality]

 

*NAME UNKNOWN* - Rogue - 20's - Female - Homosexual

 

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism?

 

No.

 

1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything?

 

Nothing.

 

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service?

 

Not religious.

 

 

2. Are they pro-Circle?

 

Yes.

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar?

 

Yes.

 

2b.  Are they anti-Mage?

 

No.

 

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages?

 

Yes.

 

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage?

 

Yes. As long as they maintain control.

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar?

 

No.

 

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages?

 

Yes.

 

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule?

 

No.

 

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility

 

Often stuck up and hypocritical. Eve those who claim to care about the poor tend to keep their wealth to themselves. Too content in their way of life, and see the poor as beneath them.

 

4b. The Poor

 

Usually unmotivated and blame others for their misfortune. Look for handouts. See nobility as tyrants.

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith

 

Too rigid and inflexible. Intriguing, but the black and while definition of everything is a major fault.

 

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism

 

Abused. Nothing wrong with faith, but Andrastianism and the Chantry take advantage of their own preaching.

 

               5c. The Old Gods

 

Dead and gone. Those that return in the blight are not true Gods.

 

               5d. The Dalish Faith

 

Interesting in its spirituality, but is old and worn. Needs advancement.

 

               5f. Atheism

 

Those who completely discount faith are fools themselves.

 

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves

 

The ones that live underground are odd and stuck in thier old ways. The ones on the surface are foolish to ignore their history.

 

6b.  City Elves

 

Don't understand why they stay. It's horrible for them in the cities. Why not get out and start your own village?

 

6c.  Dalish Elves

 

Moving all the time seems a pain, but they also get to see the world. That sounds fun. But they give off a sense of superiority.

 

6d.  Humans

 

Like how varied they are compared to other races in their mentality, but humans are similar to the Dalish in their attitude of superiority.

 

6e.  (the) Kossith

 

Little known. But interesting in that they predated the Qun.

 

 

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais

 

Smug, not as fancy as they think. Interesting clothes and decor, though.

 

7b.  Ferelden

 

Lacking in culture, especially compared to Orlais. More relaxed.

 

7c.  Tevinter

 

Don't know much other than what the Chantry has taught. Want to visit before judging.

 

 

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic?

 

Very idealistic.

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means?

 

Not at all.

 

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

 

Yes.

 

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others?

 

Depends. She's important too, after all.

 

 

 

9.  What alignment are they? 

 

Neutral chaotic. Really wants to shake things up.

 

 

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?

 

It's whatever. Just sort of fell into it. Don't mind the perks, though.

 

 

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy?

 

Dutiful... when it's something that interests her.

 

 

12.  Are they intelligent?

 

Yes.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people?

 

Very.

 

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed?

 

Somewhat. Didn't care much for book studies.

 

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense?

 

Wouldn't say wise. Instinctive, probably. Does have common sense.

 

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change?

 

Very adaptable.

 

12e.  Are they skilled artistically?

 

Doesn't have the patience.

 

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious?

 

Funny.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism?

 

Yes.

 

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it?

 

She's always funny. No matter what.

 

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? 

 

Romance tends to go over her head.

 

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family?

 

Her family took good care of her, but they tend not to get along.

[TheLittleBird]

I found this so much fun, that I just made another one! Meet my Cadash Inquisitor!

 

Spoiler

[Aurum Cadash] - [Warrior] - [29] - [Female] - [Bisexual]

 

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism? You know, I don't see why you're calling me 'they'. It's like I'm not even here. Anyway, the answer's 'no'.

 

1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything? Thievery, but I sense that is not the answer you are looking for.

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service? Lip service? What's that, like kissing people? Only if they're good-looking. 

 

2. Are they pro-Circle? Well, we need to smuggle lyrium somewhere, don't we?

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar? Mother of golems, no! Those can ****** off, always meddling in our affairs.

2b.  Are they anti-Mage? No, I quite like that magic-thing they do.

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages? Well, like I said, we need to smuggle lyrium somewhere. But independent mages could also benefit our operations. Anyway, I'll see.

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage? You know, I really don't like you talking about me like I'm not here. Could you stop?

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar? Like I said, yes.

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages? Only if they give me money. So generally speaking, no not really.

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule? I've never been there so I wouldn't know.

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility Great! Those people have enough money for us to rob.

4b. The Poor I consider myself one of the poor, so I do feel sorry for them.

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith It sounds quite boring, being assigned to one single duty for all of your life. Plus, qunari always look so grumpy. Where's the joy in their lives?

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism Meh.

               5c. The Old Gods Too old for my taste.

               5d. The Dalish Faith Too vague.

               5f. Atheism That's me! 

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves Best damn people in Thedas.

6b.  City Elves Annoying gits.

6c.  Dalish Elves Annoying- ah you get the message. I'm not very fond of elves. In fact, I think they always hide their goods behind those ears if we walk by.

6d.  Humans I like humans. Sometimes. Depends on the human.

6e.  (the) Kossith Why is that between accolades? Anyway, they do look rather imposing. Could work great as hired muscle.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais

7b.  Ferelden

7c.  Tevinter

Look, I'm sorry, I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I'm rushing through these questions without making it seem like I'm at least interested in answering them, and in the process I'm coming off like some sort of cliched surfacer dwarf that was put on the world to look tough and discuss criminal business. While I'm nothing like that! Gran always says: introduce yourself properly, Gold. For that is my name, 'Gold'. Well, actually it's Aurum, but that is just another name for it. I believe it is what the academics back in Orzammar use. If you could call them that. I've been told that they know more of ale than actual minerals. Pff. Disgraceful to their ancestors, that is what they are.

I'm in the Carta myself. Smuggled the occasional lyrium, beat some people up, did a little thieving here and there. Oh, don't look so judgmental, we all do what we can to scrape by. Besides, if you're a mage and need some lyrium to aid you, I'm your man - or, woman. Same goes if you're a Templar, though I'll be less inclined to trust you. I have my reasons. You probably have yours. And that is okay. 

 

Oh, wait... I was supposed to answer a question, wasn't I? What do I think of Orlais, Ferelden and Tevinter? Meh, they're all the same, I guess. Big cities filled with big people who each have their own big problems. It's how the world turns - if it turns at all. I haven't been all over Thedas, my family operates mostly in the Free Marches, so I have some limited world-experience. But I believe this job as an Inquisitor, whatever that may be, includes all kinds of cool trips? Well, that is terrific! I think I deserve some vacation, after that whole Breach-thing. 

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic? I'll do whatever I want, I guess. 

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means? It's all about having fun, really. If you're not having fun, then what do the ends, or the means, even matter?

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Same thing as I said to your previous question. 

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others? Assuming that you still mean me when saying 'they': no. I like my life too much.

 

9.  What alignment are they?  I'm aligned? To what? I don't even know what you're talking about right now. Dungeons and Dragons? What, is that some lame book that Tethras-guy from Kirkwall wrote? I hate those books.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor? 

.... I've just been informed what being an 'Inquisitor' actually means. Hmm, I guess I could've known from the name. Well, that sucks. I have to actually go and save the world, is that it? So you're telling me that I, the first dwarf to actually FALL INTO THE SKY, get 'a duty to save the world' as my reward? What kind of idiotic prize is that? I don't want to go into the history books as some heroine! I'm Aurum Cadash, a Carta criminal!

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy? Grumble grumble. Right now I want to be very lazy.

 

12.  Are they intelligent? Too intelligent for this stupid job.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? I can see you don't like me, if that's what you're asking.

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed?

"Oh blue rose of lyrium, let your roots dig deep into the hot soil of Orzammar. Let our scorching lava and sheeting rocks turn your supple beauty into strength. For if our product is to survive, it must grow thorns to pierce the hand of any that would uproot it!
“Blue rose of lyrium, you have blossomed in a tunnel of dirt and rocks. But beauty under dirt is filthy and weak. Where are your honored dead, to fertilize the ground that you might grow strong? On the rocky grounds of Orzammar, I will build you a mountain from the bones of your ancestors.
“Blue rose of lyrium, leave eternity unembraced and grapple in the glorious struggle that is us, here and now! I am speechless, not with blood rage, but with love, and I stand here, humble and mute, to collect the money you are worth. Come to me, blue rose of lyrium. Fill our pockets with gold.”

 

That "widely versed" enough for you?

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense? Sure I do.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change? Heh! "Change" is my middle name!

12e.  Are they skilled artistically? I just gave you one of my poems, so yes!

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious? My jokes will make the entirety of Skyhold tremble with laughter, good sir.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism? ... what are you getting at?

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it? I feel like you're trying to insult me here.

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? Are you asking me out?

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family? Let me tell you about my family.

My family is big. And I love it. My grandmother is our 'boss', I guess you could say. She built our empire from the ground up, and loves to tell stories about it. We all love her, and she loves all of us. Back when I was young, we would huddle around her every day and she would listen to all that we had to say, and we to what she had to say. We don't do that anymore, not since Kirkwall turned to ashes. Lost a good few family members that day, at the battle that ran through the Gallows. Man, those were dark days... but we managed, and now we're as strong as ever! That reminds me... I might need to send Gran a letter, see how she's doing. Tell her I'm alive. She might be worried sick.

 

It's been fun talking to you, even though you're a little weird. Just call me by my name, next time we meet, okay. Stop addressing that guy with the controller in his hand. He's having a hard enough time controlling me in battle as it is.

Zhenya Cadash - Warrior - mid-to-late 30s - Female - Bisexual

Spoiler

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism? No, it would be kind of odd to believe in a religion that isn't too sure if your race is included...

 

1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything? No (Dwarven religion doesn't exactly embrace the casteless).

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service?

 

2. Are they pro-Circle? No

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar?

2b.  Are they anti-Mage?

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages?

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage? Somewhat

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar? Somewhat

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages? Depends on what they're doing, she doesn't think those terms really separate the dangerous from the non-dangerous that well.

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule? No

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility They make her want to stick a pin in their pomposity

4b. The Poor  Depends on the individuals

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith OK for the Qunari maybe, but not for dwarves

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism She doesn't know enough about them to have an opinion, but isn't impressed based on how Tevinter is run

               5c. The Old Gods Tainted Old Gods (archdemons)? huge danger. Doesn't really know enough about untainted OGs

               5d. The Dalish Faith OK for the Dalish, but she really knows nothing about it

               5f. Atheism Zhenya's pretty sure if they aren't concerned about anyone's gods, they aren't going to care about HER opinion

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves Surface dwarves are fine, just have to watch your back. She's wary of the thaig dwarves because of the caste system

6b.  City Elves  Feels sympathy for some of them, but prefers the ones willing to fight back in whatever way (she'll love Sera)

6c.  Dalish Elves  Doesn't feel she knows that much about them, but her impressions have been that they're arrogant

6d.  Humans  Can't live with them, can't live without them since they make good customers

6e.  (the) Kossith  Those in the Qun make her a little nervous (this is kind of funny since she'll probably end up with IB). She's fine with Tal-Vashoth and Vashoth, though.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais She has an overwhelming urge to paint graffiti on some of the Val Royeaux landmarks, and she'd love to hang some noble or Reverend mother's underwear on the Chanter's board.

7b.  Ferelden She likes their general orneriness but also thinks they're too pig-headed stubborn to recognize when something is for their own good

7c.  Tevinter Slaves, a different sort of caste system based on magic, and rampant blood magic, not a place she wants to visit

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic? Generally pragmatic

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means? No

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Sometimes

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others? In the right circumstances, probably

 

9.  What alignment are they?  Chaotic good

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?  Not sure I can answer that until I see how the story goes, but she'll probably be reluctant until they convince her the breach is a threat.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy? I'm not sure those are really opposites. She works and plays hard, and is moderately loyal to her family, but is perfectly willing to tell them to kiss her a** if she objects to what they're doing.

 

12.  Are they intelligent? Yes, though she tends to let people assume she's had the brains knocked out of her head by too many brawls because they say such interesting and useful things in front of her.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? In certain ways and certain types of people. Anyone involved in the underworld, etc., definitely she can read them. Nobles or chantry types, probably not very good at that type of diplomacy and backstabbing, though she'll spot anyone on the shady side in a heartbeat.

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed? She's literate and knows the geography of Thedas (including portions she hasn't visited) in exquisite detail. However, it's a pretty good bet she isn't well read in Orlesian poetry or the Chant of Light, etc.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense? Dunno about wise, but she's got a good dollop of common sense. Whether she always listens to it or not is debatable.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change? adaptable

12e.  Are they skilled artistically? She can do a decent bit of woodcarving, but not anything special

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious? Funny

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism? To an extent (being in the Carta doesn't exactly ensure a long, peaceful life)

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it? She usually succeeds

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment?  She'll tell you she doesn't fear commitment, she just doesn't like messy emotions. In reality, she's afraid someone will get hurt (literally - she's lived the kind of life that a shiv in the back could happen any time.) Zhenya's been pretty happy with short, light-hearted love affairs so far.

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family? Loyal to them, yes. But she'd ask you to define love and dodge the question.

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism? Yes, though she isn’t exactly a big fan of the Chantry

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service? Mildly spiritual

 

2. Are they pro-Circle? No

3.  Are they pro-Mage? Yes

3a.  Are they anti-Templar? Not entirely. She thinks they have a role to play, just not the abusive, controlling one that’s emerged.

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages? She doesn’t have a problem with apostates (since she technically is one herself now). Blood magic she’s strongly opposed to in most cases. Maleficar she considers more of a grey area as long as they aren’t doing harm.

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule? No

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

4a. Nobility She’s still bitter at her family for sending her to the circle, so not very high.

4b. The Poor  She tends to feel sympathy, but she’s quite aware that she really only knows about them as an abstract.

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

               5a. The Qunari Faith Particularly frightening, considering their attitudes toward mages

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism  Opposed as an Andrastrian to mage rule

               5c. The Old Gods Tainted Old Gods (archdemons)? huge danger. Doesn't really know enough about untainted OGs

               5d. The Dalish Faith OK for the Dalish, but she really knows nothing about it

               5f. Atheism  She just can’t understand how someone can fail to believe in something, but she isn’t going to persecute them for it either.

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

6a.  Dwarves She hasn’t really met many, so all she knows is that they can’t do magic.

6b.  City Elves  Thinks humans are setting themselves up for a disaster in the future by their treatment of them; also objects on religious grounds since Andraste freed the elves.

6c.  Dalish Elves  Doesn't feel she knows that much about them

6d.  Humans  Frustrating, but they’re hers

6e.  (the) Kossith  The Qun makes her nervous, and she’s not that clear about the distinctions of those who don’t belong.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

7a.  Orlais Dangerous, but self-absorbed

7b.  Ferelden The only things she really knows about them is they recently survived a blight despite a monumentally stupid civil war and they really, really like their dogs.

7c.  Tevinter Very frightening, and part of the reason mages in other lands are treated so harshly.

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic? Somewhat idealistic, but she can be realistic when necessary

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means? No

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Rarely

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others? Yes, if she thought it would really make a difference, particularly for mages

 

9.  What alignment are they?  Neutral good

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?  Not sure I can answer that until I see how the story goes. I’m pretty sure she’s going to take issue with Cassandra holding a sword to her throat.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy? I'm not sure those are really opposites, but she’s a workaholic

12.  Are they intelligent? Yes, though she’s so reserved that people often don’t realize it.

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? She’s not going to be the life of the party, but she is poised, and she’s very good at listening and getting people to talk. She’ll be able to read noble humans, mages, Templars, and priests very well, but she’ll be in over her head with the poor, most non-humans, and truly shady types.

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed? Very gifted and extremely knowledgeable in magic, history, religion, and politics, but only vaguely familiar with most non-religious literature.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense? Somewhat wise, at least about some things, with a strong sense of survival. She mostly lacks knowledge of a lot of ordinary things that she just didn’t encounter in the Tower.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change? adaptable

12e.  Are they skilled artistically? Not really, but given the chance, she’ll have a small garden.

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious? Reserved, but occasionally coming out with a bit of dry humor that surprises people

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment?  She won’t be quite sure how to react to any open affection; she was somewhat isolated in the circle because the other mages distrusted her kinship with some of the Templars. She’s built up walls around herself, but she’s probably a bit of a romantic behind those walls.

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family? Bitterness is all she feels toward them now (not that she remembers them very well).

[karushna5]

I found this so much fun, that I just made another one! Meet my Cadash Inquisitor!

 

Spoiler

[Aurum Cadash] - [Warrior] - [29] - [Female] - [Bisexual]

 

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism? You know, I don't see why you're calling me 'they'. It's like I'm not even here. Anyway, the answer's 'no'.

 

1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything? Thievery, but I sense that is not the answer you are looking for.

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service? Lip service? What's that, like kissing people? Only if they're good-looking. 

 

2. Are they pro-Circle? Well, we need to smuggle lyrium somewhere, don't we?

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar? Mother of golems, no! Those can ****** off, always meddling in our affairs.

2b.  Are they anti-Mage? No, I quite like that magic-thing they do.

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages? Well, like I said, we need to smuggle lyrium somewhere. But independent mages could also benefit our operations. Anyway, I'll see.

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage? You know, I really don't like you talking about me like I'm not here. Could you stop?

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar? Like I said, yes.

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages? Only if they give me money. So generally speaking, no not really.

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule? I've never been there so I wouldn't know.

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility Great! Those people have enough money for us to rob.

4b. The Poor I consider myself one of the poor, so I do feel sorry for them.

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith It sounds quite boring, being assigned to one single duty for all of your life. Plus, qunari always look so grumpy. Where's the joy in their lives?

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism Meh.

               5c. The Old Gods Too old for my taste.

               5d. The Dalish Faith Too vague.

               5f. Atheism That's me! 

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves Best damn people in Thedas.

6b.  City Elves Annoying gits.

6c.  Dalish Elves Annoying- ah you get the message. I'm not very fond of elves. In fact, I think they always hide their goods behind those ears if we walk by.

6d.  Humans I like humans. Sometimes. Depends on the human.

6e.  (the) Kossith Why is that between accolades? Anyway, they do look rather imposing. Could work great as hired muscle.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais

7b.  Ferelden

7c.  Tevinter

Look, I'm sorry, I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I'm rushing through these questions without making it seem like I'm at least interested in answering them, and in the process I'm coming off like some sort of cliched surfacer dwarf that was put on the world to look tough and discuss criminal business. While I'm nothing like that! Gran always says: introduce yourself properly, Gold. For that is my name, 'Gold'. Well, actually it's Aurum, but that is just another name for it. I believe it is what the academics back in Orzammar use. If you could call them that. I've been told that they know more of ale than actual minerals. Pff. Disgraceful to their ancestors, that is what they are.

I'm in the Carta myself. Smuggled the occasional lyrium, beat some people up, did a little thieving here and there. Oh, don't look so judgmental, we all do what we can to scrape by. Besides, if you're a mage and need some lyrium to aid you, I'm your man - or, woman. Same goes if you're a Templar, though I'll be less inclined to trust you. I have my reasons. You probably have yours. And that is okay. 

 

Oh, wait... I was supposed to answer a question, wasn't I? What do I think of Orlais, Ferelden and Tevinter? Meh, they're all the same, I guess. Big cities filled with big people who each have their own big problems. It's how the world turns - if it turns at all. I haven't been all over Thedas, my family operates mostly in the Free Marches, so I have some limited world-experience. But I believe this job as an Inquisitor, whatever that may be, includes all kinds of cool trips? Well, that is terrific! I think I deserve some vacation, after that whole Breach-thing. 

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic? I'll do whatever I want, I guess. 

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means? It's all about having fun, really. If you're not having fun, then what do the ends, or the means, even matter?

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Same thing as I said to your previous question. 

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others? Assuming that you still mean me when saying 'they': no. I like my life too much.

 

9.  What alignment are they?  I'm aligned? To what? I don't even know what you're talking about right now. Dungeons and Dragons? What, is that some lame book that Tethras-guy from Kirkwall wrote? I hate those books.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor? 

.... I've just been informed what being an 'Inquisitor' actually means. Hmm, I guess I could've known from the name. Well, that sucks. I have to actually go and save the world, is that it? So you're telling me that I, the first dwarf to actually FALL INTO THE SKY, get 'a duty to save the world' as my reward? What kind of idiotic prize is that? I don't want to go into the history books as some heroine! I'm Aurum Cadash, a Carta criminal!

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy? Grumble grumble. Right now I want to be very lazy.

 

12.  Are they intelligent? Too intelligent for this stupid job.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? I can see you don't like me, if that's what you're asking.

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed?

"Oh blue rose of lyrium, let your roots dig deep into the hot soil of Orzammar. Let our scorching lava and sheeting rocks turn your supple beauty into strength. For if our product is to survive, it must grow thorns to pierce the hand of any that would uproot it!
“Blue rose of lyrium, you have blossomed in a tunnel of dirt and rocks. But beauty under dirt is filthy and weak. Where are your honored dead, to fertilize the ground that you might grow strong? On the rocky grounds of Orzammar, I will build you a mountain from the bones of your ancestors.
“Blue rose of lyrium, leave eternity unembraced and grapple in the glorious struggle that is us, here and now! I am speechless, not with blood rage, but with love, and I stand here, humble and mute, to collect the money you are worth. Come to me, blue rose of lyrium. Fill our pockets with gold.”

 

That "widely versed" enough for you?

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense? Sure I do.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change? Heh! "Change" is my middle name!

12e.  Are they skilled artistically? I just gave you one of my poems, so yes!

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious? My jokes will make the entirety of Skyhold tremble with laughter, good sir.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism? ... what are you getting at?

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it? I feel like you're trying to insult me here.

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? Are you asking me out?

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family? Let me tell you about my family.

My family is big. And I love it. My grandmother is our 'boss', I guess you could say. She built our empire from the ground up, and loves to tell stories about it. We all love her, and she loves all of us. Back when I was young, we would huddle around her every day and she would listen to all that we had to say, and we to what she had to say. We don't do that anymore, not since Kirkwall turned to ashes. Lost a good few family members that day, at the battle that ran through the Gallows. Man, those were dark days... but we managed, and now we're as strong as ever! That reminds me... I might need to send Gran a letter, see how she's doing. Tell her I'm alive. She might be worried sick.

 

It's been fun talking to you, even though you're a little weird. Just call me by my name, next time we meet, okay. Stop addressing that guy with the controller in his hand. He's having a hard enough time controlling me in battle as it is.

 

 

 

Zhenya Cadash - Warrior - mid-to-late 30s - Female - Bisexual

Spoiler

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism? No, it would be kind of odd to believe in a religion that isn't too sure if your race is included...

 

1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything? No (Dwarven religion doesn't exactly embrace the casteless).

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service?

 

2. Are they pro-Circle? No

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar?

2b.  Are they anti-Mage?

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages?

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage? Somewhat

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar? Somewhat

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages? Depends on what they're doing, she doesn't think those terms really separate the dangerous from the non-dangerous that well.

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule? No

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility They make her want to stick a pin in their pomposity

4b. The Poor  Depends on the individuals

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith OK for the Qunari maybe, but not for dwarves

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism She doesn't know enough about them to have an opinion, but isn't impressed based on how Tevinter is run

               5c. The Old Gods Tainted Old Gods (archdemons)? huge danger. Doesn't really know enough about untainted OGs

               5d. The Dalish Faith OK for the Dalish, but she really knows nothing about it

               5f. Atheism Zhenya's pretty sure if they aren't concerned about anyone's gods, they aren't going to care about HER opinion

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves Surface dwarves are fine, just have to watch your back. She's wary of the thaig dwarves because of the caste system

6b.  City Elves  Feels sympathy for some of them, but prefers the ones willing to fight back in whatever way (she'll love Sera)

6c.  Dalish Elves  Doesn't feel she knows that much about them, but her impressions have been that they're arrogant

6d.  Humans  Can't live with them, can't live without them since they make good customers

6e.  (the) Kossith  Those in the Qun make her a little nervous (this is kind of funny since she'll probably end up with IB). She's fine with Tal-Vashoth and Vashoth, though.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais She has an overwhelming urge to paint graffiti on some of the Val Royeaux landmarks, and she'd love to hang some noble or Reverend mother's underwear on the Chanter's board.

7b.  Ferelden She likes their general orneriness but also thinks they're too pig-headed stubborn to recognize when something is for their own good

7c.  Tevinter Slaves, a different sort of caste system based on magic, and rampant blood magic, not a place she wants to visit

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic? Generally pragmatic

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means? No

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Sometimes

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others? In the right circumstances, probably

 

9.  What alignment are they?  Chaotic good

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?  Not sure I can answer that until I see how the story goes, but she'll probably be reluctant until they convince her the breach is a threat.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy? I'm not sure those are really opposites. She works and plays hard, and is moderately loyal to her family, but is perfectly willing to tell them to kiss her a** if she objects to what they're doing.

 

12.  Are they intelligent? Yes, though she tends to let people assume she's had the brains knocked out of her head by too many brawls because they say such interesting and useful things in front of her.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? In certain ways and certain types of people. Anyone involved in the underworld, etc., definitely she can read them. Nobles or chantry types, probably not very good at that type of diplomacy and backstabbing, though she'll spot anyone on the shady side in a heartbeat.

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed? She's literate and knows the geography of Thedas (including portions she hasn't visited) in exquisite detail. However, it's a pretty good bet she isn't well read in Orlesian poetry or the Chant of Light, etc.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense? Dunno about wise, but she's got a good dollop of common sense. Whether she always listens to it or not is debatable.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change? adaptable

12e.  Are they skilled artistically? She can do a decent bit of woodcarving, but not anything special

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious? Funny

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism? To an extent (being in the Carta doesn't exactly ensure a long, peaceful life)

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it? She usually succeeds

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment?  She'll tell you she doesn't fear commitment, she just doesn't like messy emotions. In reality, she's afraid someone will get hurt (literally - she's lived the kind of life that a shiv in the back could happen any time.) Zhenya's been pretty happy with short, light-hearted love affairs so far.

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family? Loyal to them, yes. But she'd ask you to define love and dodge the question.

 

Love the dwarf backgrounds!

[lordsaren101]

[Thalsian, Human] - [Mage] - [30] - [Male] - [Heterosexual]

 

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism? NO

 

1a.  Thalsian is a devout follower of Dumat

1b.  Thalsian is religious, and follows the pantheon of Old Gods. He is the Herald of a reborn Dumat.

 

2. Are they pro-Circle? NO

 

2a.  Definitely not pro-templar, I despise the templars and slay them on sight.

2b.  I am a powerful magister.

2c.  Caged mages are weak. The circle is an tool meant to keep us shackled and unable to take our place as the rightful masters of the world.

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage? YES

 

3a.  I despise the Templars, and kill them whenever I can.

3b.  Apostates, Maleficarum and Blood Mages are true mages that recognize power.

3c.  The Tevinter Imperium is the past and the future, and until we reign supreme the world will be in chaos.

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility- Many are bloated and pompous windbags that do little beyond squabble for fleeting attempts at greater influence.

4b. The Poor- Downtrodden and Chantry brainwashed peons to weak to seize upon greater power, and thus to weak to free themselves the bondage of their own poverty.

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith- A narrow minded view meant at stifling the individual and any aspirations of greatness. Blasphemous in nature.

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism- A perversion of an already perverse and false faith.

               5c. The Old Gods- The true faith, the true gods. All Hail Dumat. Until the Old Gods are worshipped across Theads once more, no end to chaos or pain.

               5d. The Dalish Faith- Amusing fairy tales

               5f. Atheism- More tolerable than Andrastrian nonsense, but short sighted.

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves- A dependable race and ally, very inventive.

6b.  City Elves- Servants and slaves. Useful, should be treated fairly so as not to grow too large for their own place in the world.

6c.  Dalish Elves- Clinging to old ways that have never been relevant. I do not begrudge them their freedom. Can possibly be an ally in the future against Andrastrianism.

6d.  Humans- The ruling class. Although easily manipulated and can be coerced into doing just about anything, provided the motivation is right.

6e.  (the) Kossith- Vile scum. But a brute and strong race, fit as beasts of burden. If they can be domesticated they can help rebuild what was once lost.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais- Misguided, but a wealthy epicenter, a cultured people but they cling to their social castes and court intrigue. Fit for reassimilation into the Imperium.

7b.  Ferelden- Barbarians and uneducated fools. Ferelden is a barbarian soaked wasteland, preferably Urthemiel should have wiped it out before being stopped. Easy to reabsorb, they are far too concerned with Orlais, to the point of obsession.

7c.  Tevinter- MY beloved homeland. Minrathous is the seat of power, and will in time Dumat willing be the epicenter of the entire world once again.

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic? A combination of both

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means? In most cases yes. 

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? It depends, the many rarely need more than food and a place to rest. The few, require power and will step over the many to do what must be done.

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others? Sacrifice would gain nothing for me, as I am the only one that can carry out Dumat's will properly, to die before it is done would be counterproductive.

 

9.  What alignment are they? Good and evil are subjective points of view, and an inane fascination of the mortal mind. I am above such reproach and curiosities. I will do what must be done.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor? This inquisition is a means to further my own power and that of the old gods. I will subvert and do my best to destroy the foundations of the chantry and further incite mages into open rebellion, we will crush the foundations of Thedas and rebuild what was once the mightiest power in the world. Tevinter will reign supreme, and Dumat will guide us.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy? Laziness is for the poor and the feeble. I have not the time nor mind to be lazy.

 

12.  Are they intelligent? Highly. 

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? I can figure people out very easily

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed? Yes. I am well read.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense? Yes. At times arrogant, but rightfully so.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change? Change is inevitable, cope or die.

12e.  Are they skilled artistically? That would depend on the definition of art.

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious? I am both, although my humor is very sarcastic.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism? NO, it is a method of being funny, and gaining trust in those I need to manipulate or rely upon.

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it? Rarely. Humor is best not used constantly or it loses its effect.

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? I do not fear commitment and seek romance with a partner worthy of me.

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family? I Cared for my family, but outgrew them and their narrowminded views. They were to foolish and too weak to understand the need for change and the necessity of it. Hail Dumat.

[wright1978]

Human, Mage, 30ish, male, hetrosexual

 

1) He is not a practioner of andrastianism. He is agnostic.

 

2/3) He is not a fan of the circle system as it stands. He understands the need for the templar order but views them in need of reform. More independence for mages is essential in his opinion and any new system can utilise the circle buildings but can't be beholden to the circle system. He supports existence of apostates(that exist due to current circle system) but doesn't support apostate practioners in solution where mages have acceptable conditions. He doesn't disapprove of careful use of blood magic but is against the abuse of it as with any other discipline. He doesn't view the Tevinter imperium as an ideal to be striven for.

 

4) His opinion of nobles is that some are bad and some good. His opinion of poor is that opportunities for social mobility should be provided but it is up for individuals to grasp them.

 

5) The Qunari Faith is an evil to be destroyed,

Imperial andrastianism is no better or worse than rest of Chantry. Needs to have power weakened.

The old Gods need to be studied and attempts made to find a way to stop them being used as catalyst for blights.

Dalish faith is as bad as any other religion

Atheism, can be as bad as religion in its unwillingness to accept possibility of existence of gods

 

6) Dwarves mine Lyrium, my mage likes lyrium

City Elves, Need to be integrated properly and need crack down on discrimination against them. An Elven homeland is a bad idea though.

Dalish Elves, doesn't agree with their isolationism or strict backwards looking stance. Likes those that try to push boundaries and refind lost skills(eluvians etc)

Humans, less bigotry would be nice and less devotion to the chantry

Kossith, only issue with the Kossith is the disease that is the Qun, which has infected most of the horned giants

 

7) Orlais is pretentious

Ferelden is rather backward

Tevinter is corrupt and decadent

 

8) He certainly has a pragmatic edge but holds to certain ideals. The ends often justify the means. The needs of the many can but do not necessarily outweigh the needs of the few. He is generally scathing about the notion of glorified self sacrifice but there are certain rare circumstances where such action would be justified.

 

9) His alignment would be on good side but is driven by his definition of what is good, which may not match with others.

 

10) The role of inquisitor is twofold, end the current threat and use the power amassed to change the world as much as he can according to his own preferences

 

11) Dutiful to his view of what is needed, certainly not lazy

 

12) Reasonably socially intelligent, academically gifted, able to cope with change, has common sense, isn't artistically gifted

 

13) Black humour alongside serious side

 

14) Certainly he is romantic

 

15) He was removed from biological family at young age and disagrees fundamentally with their religious leanings. Has certain residual fondness for them but is highly independent and has closer ties with the mages he bonded with in the circle.

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility

             Not super favorably

 

4b. The Poor

             Help people in need

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith

                           Not much of an opinion either way

 

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism

                           Nope

 

               5c. The Old Gods

                           She finds them interesting

 

               5d. The Dalish Faith

                            She follows the Dalish Faith but loosely

 

               5f. Atheism

                         She respects peoples opinions to believe or not believe anything they want-except Andrastianism...that's stupid.

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves

          They're ok. Not had too much contact with them. They think they're a little better than everybody else, other than that they're ok. Also they live underground. That's weird.

 

6b.  City Elves

           They allow themselves to be ostracized by not sticking up for themselves.

 

6c.  Dalish Elves

            She is one, but aside from that she thinks that the Dalish think they're better than others and that breeds discontent with the humans and other races.

 

6d.  Humans

                         Same as Orlais. Only with magic. Also, they keep elves as slaves, so screw them.

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic?

                    She's a little of both honestly. She's idealistic, but realistic enough to know that the world doesn't praise idealism. So she keeps her idealism buried and hopes one day to help others with her hidden idealism.

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means?

            No, there are some things that don't need to be done to achieve the end of a quest, but it also depends on the situation.

 

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

             Yes, but again it depends on the situation.

 

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others?

              Yes they would but they would definitely try everything before taking that path. Mainly because she wants to live and thinks that needlessly sacrificing yourself is stupid. But she would if there were no other recourse.

 

9.  What alignment are they? 

                      Chaotic Good.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?

       Scary but exciting.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change?

           Change is exciting and welcome. The world needs change.

 

12e.  Are they skilled artistically?

                        She has a wicked sense of humor and she's a bit sarcastic.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism?

           Nope.

 

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it?

           Sometimes. Depends on the topic.

 

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? 

                      Very romantic but flirty too. Very cautious with relationships.

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family?

                      Family is dead thanks to evil Templars.

[Al Foley]

[Character Name (and by extension, race)] - [Class] - [Age] - [Gender] - [Sexuality]

 Kara Trevelyan, Rogue, 26, Female, Straight

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism? Yes, but not really by choice.  Her family are devote Andrastians, so they take her to the Chantry, and the services, but she is most unhappy about it.  

 

1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything?

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service?  More lip service then anything. 

 

2. Are they pro-Circle? No, she believes the Circle is an abomination on the rights and freedoms of mage and if mages can be free, maybe they prove they are good people. 

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar?

2b.  Are they anti-Mage? No

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages?

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage? She is not really pro mage though, she believes in mage freedom but it’s hard for her to be fully pro mage when she knows they can do damage and since she has not really interacted with them. 

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar? Not really, she is not fond of the order, but not having interacted with many of the order, she can’t judge. 

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages? Apostates, yes, Maleficar, no. 

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule? No, not so much due to anti mage or anti sentiment just her experiences with the nobility means she does not like anyone ruling. 

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility She despises the nobility believing they are weak, and pathetic.  Losing touch with their common sense.  So rich and powerful that they have such leisure time and parties, and games, and worrying about their power and their silly social constructions, and their dresses, while they do not help people truly, or worry about anything real.  Not able to survive. 

4b. The Poor So, she has a lot more respect for the poor.  Given they do not have the time or the resources to worry about some societal scandal.  They are living from day to day, surviving, focusing on survival, so they are much more sympathetic to her. 

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith Hasn’t met one so she feels she can’t judge, but the stories she heard of Kirkwall frighten her, and if half the stories of their faith is true then she wants no part of it and is quite evil, however sometimes she wonders if it is not Chantry Propaganda. 

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism Its an abomination. 

               5c. The Old Gods The Old What?!

               5d. The Dalish Faith Does not know anything about it so cannot say. 

               5f. Atheism Being a borderline atheist herself she is quite sympathetic.  But, it’s hard for her to view it as a specific faith. 

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves She is rather fond of Dwarves, she has met mostly Surface Dwarves and they are good and hearty merchants and good people.  And she imagines Dwarven society to be much the same. 

6b.  City Elves Hasn’t really met many of them, but, from the stories she is quite sympathetic for them, but nowhere near as much as she is with mages. 

6c.  Dalish Elves Hasn’t heard much from them and they have taken on a semi mystical quality to her.  Seemingly completely free and wild, away from nobility, and able to live their own lives of survival.  However, she does suspect she is romanticizing them a bit. 

6d.  Humans Despite her feelings towards nobility, she is quite fond of humanity. 

6e.  (the) Kossith No real opinion. 

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais The home of nobility, many of the stories she has heard about orlais makes her skin crawl, of the game, and how it is much worse than her home makes her feel repulsed by them. 

7b.  Ferelden She views it with a lot of romanticism.  Thinking it’s much freer and its nobility is not as violent and overbearing as they are even in the Free Marches.  Though, up to this point she has never visited the country.  So, she does not really know. 

7c.  Tevinter Does not really have one, has not heard much of them that is recent.  The Ancient Imperium seems quite evil to her, but that was in the past and she would like a more recent view. 

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic? More pragmatic. 

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means? Sometimes

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? It depends on what those needs are.  But probably not. 

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others? She would, but not easily, and it would take a lot for her to do so.  Or she would have to really care about the person. 

 

9.  What alignment are they?  Chaotic Good. 

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor? (This is a tough one to answer). 

She is rather conflicted about her role as Inquisitor and what it means for her.  And just the general position of it. 

On the one hand they are not really an Andrastian so she does not really believe in the Maker, so she wonders how he could chose her to be much of anything.  And is generally uncomfortable with being the ‘Herald of Andraste’. 

Also, despite her confidence in her abilities personally she often feels way out of her depth when it comes to actually leading the Inquisition.  She does not feel confident in being able to lead and feels lost at times in that role.  Wondering, that if the Maker does exist, how she could have been chosen since she is so woeful at it.    

 

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy? She is not really dutiful too much of anything in Thedas, distrusting most of its institutions, the Chantry, many of the governments, and just feels her duty should be to herself and herself only.  And while she is a hard worker much of the time and despite her feelings about her birth, she has still picked up a few ‘bad habits’ from it and can be quite…lounge worthy. 

 

12.  Are they intelligent? More or less. 

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? Yes, when she wants to be. 

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed? Not really. 

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense? Somewhat but still having much to learn. 

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change? She is however very adaptable and willing to learn, especially given the circumstances.  

12e.  Are they skilled artistically?  No

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious? Funny

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism? Not usually but when she is feeling over her head it can be. 

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it? That really depends on the person receiving the humor doesn’t it?   

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment?  Probably a mixture of both. 

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family? Her and her family do not really get along… at all.

4.  What is their opinion of:

               5c. The Old Gods Cult worshipers but as long as no one is harmed no one shall be persecuted.

12.  Are they intelligent? Yes, but He’s no genius.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people? Yes. He is very observant.

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed? Some scholastic intelligence but cant spell to save his life. He mostly relies on his life experiences.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense? Yes. Some more than others it would seem.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change? Change is hard but necessary.

12e.  Are they skilled artistically? Ehhh when younger yes. Now, time is not a luxury.

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious? He’s gregarious, But knows theres a time for play and a time to kill a ******.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism? Yes, especially around the ladies.

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it? Almost all of his jokes are seen as witty and brutal.

Planning this dude for poor miss Josephine!

Spoiler

[Strauss Cadash] - [Rogue] - [27] - [Male] - [Straight]

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism?

    For you, baby, he'll believe anything.  (No, seriously.  Just tell him how to impress you.  You're so pretty!) 

 

1a.  If not, than what do they practice, if anything?

       Well, Strauss guesses he worships the ancestors and all that and Andraste too.  And... well, actually, might as well tack on the Old Gods and those Elvish Gods, too.  Whatever gives him more luck and keeps him alive.

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service?

      Kinda lip service, but he'll propitiate them as well.  Best to keep the gods and ancestors happy!

 

2. Are they pro-Circle?

    What?  You're getting all political and stuff.  Uhh.  Uhh!  What do YOU believe, pretty lady?  Okay, yeah, he guesses things are bad for the Mages, but aren't they dangerous too?  Why are you putting him on the spot?

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar?

       Uhhh.  Well, maybe?  Templars are just dudes, so... but some of them can get out of line.

2b.  Are they anti-Mage?

       Seriously, what's with all of these deep questions?  Wouldn't it be better to check out his washboard abs?

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages?

       Well, actually, that doesn't sound like a half-bad idea, now that you mention it...

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage?

     He's just gonna artfully sidestep this question and bring up that he knows basically one hundred and five recipes with five ingredients or less. 

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar?

       Uh...

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and Blood Mages?

       Not unless there's a pretty apostate nearby. Then he TOTALLY supports it.

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule?

       Nah.  Tevinter sounds kinda ass-backwards to him.  Just saying. 

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility

      Hey, there's nothing wrong with some people having more, as long as they aren't jerks about it.  Who wouldn't want more?

4b. The Poor

      He'll stop and help out when he can, pretty or not.  But don't tell anyone, it'll ruin his image as a lady's man.  (Not that he has much of one).

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

5a. The Qunari Faith

      What gods are you praying to to live to the next day?  Oh.  You're praying to the Universe?  Okay, he can add that in with the rest.  But the idea of everybody having a tight role and like... scheduled breeding programs and not raising your own kids is kinda messed up. 

5b. Imperial Andrastianism

      People got ideas about all kinds of things.  Why should he get all butthurt if someone sees somethin' different?

5c. The Old Gods

      They sound powerful and dangerous.  So he'll pray to them extra hard so that, when and if they return, him and his friends will have a good word in.

5d. The Dalish Gods

       The more the merrier.

5f. Atheism

      Denying the existence of the gods and ancestors just doesn't seem healthy.  Best to believe in 'em to be on the safe side. 

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves

       His people!  He kinda likes the Carta when they aren't being completely ruthless douchebags.  And fresh surfacers are hilarious.

6b.  City Elves

       Man, these people got it rough.  How the dwarves dodged that bullet, he ain't sure, but he's got a lotta sympathy for 'em.

6c.  Dalish Elves

       In a way, these people got the right idea.  He ain't big on nature and crap, but the idea of being free and roaming around sounds nice. 

6d.  Humans

        They're tall and everywhere.

6e.  (the) Kossith

       The what?  OH!  The Qunari!  They're REALLY tall and not everywhere.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais

       Kinda flowery, but the language and the fashion seems to get the girls, so they gotta have somethin' going for 'em.

7b.  Ferelden

       This place is more his style.  Plus those Mabari are just about the right size for a good war-mount.

7c.  Tevinter

       They're kinda bad news, at least if everything everybody says is right.  Their snake symbol's cool, though.

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic?

     Bit of both.  He'll do the right thing most of the time, but he also realizes that tough calls need to be made. 

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means?

       Nope.

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

        Depends on if the "few" are gorgeous ladies or not.

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others?

       Yeah, yeah he would.  Might take him a minute, and he'd probably sigh and swear a few times, but he would.

 

9.  What alignment are they? 

      Chaotic Good.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?

       Power?  Check.  Fame?  Check.  Snazzy Outfit?  Check.  He's TOTALLY going to be a chick magnet!  Plus, y'know, there's the whole opportunity to do some good in there.  That's important, too.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy?

       More lazy, but still kinda dutiful.

 

12.  Are they intelligent?

       Average.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people?

         Not really, he'd be terrible at poker.

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed?

         Yeah, but only about things that interest him.  Food and recipes, mostly.  With some art stuff thrown in there and proper worship of the various gods.  Chicks love a man that can pray and recite poetry.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense?

         Some street smarts, but his mom always said he never learned from his mistakes and was stubborn as an ox.  That's probably true.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change?

         He's pretty adaptable.

12e.  Are they skilled artistically?

         Uhhh... is cooking an art?

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious?

       He'd consider himself hilarious!  But half the time it's unintentional, and he just pretends he meant it all along.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism?

         Oh, yeah.  Flirting, too.

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it?

         Failing, no.  Unintentionally hilarious because he has a brain fart or tries way too hard to impress people, especially women?  Yes.

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? 

       He's a romantic.  He likes to think he's hot stuff and a player, but he isn't too lucky with women, and would fall in love pretty hard.

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family?

       His mom was great, his dad was dead, so he never really formed an opinion.

[Autumn Crowe]

And a couple others. 

 

[Kelsy Lavellan] - [Rogue] - [31] - [Trans Female] - [Heterosexual]

Spoiler

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism?

    No, she'd rather eat a bowl full of glass than practice Andrastianism.  It's peopled with hypocrites that forsake magic, yet use mages as indispensable tools.  It also fails to realize the sacrifice and importance of Shartan.  If it did, the elves would still have the Dales, and not be subjugated.

 

1a.  If not, than what do they practice, if anything?

       Kelsy believes in the Elven Gods, but is fairly secular and puts more value in what she can openly see and interact with.  The Gods are there, but the Dread Wolf remains, and is undeserving of her attention.

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service?

       Spiritual more than anything.  In general, her faith isn't something she wants to discuss with anyone who isn't a close friend.  

 

2. Are they pro-Circle?

    Absolutely not.  Humans just go to show how narrow-minded and hateful they are.  Not only must they despise other races, but they must invent new classifications for members of their own race, in order to be prejudiced toward them.

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar?

       Kelsy thinks that the templar order act as little more than prison guards that frequently, if not always abuse their power.  

2b.  Are they anti-Mage?

       No.  While she isn't inherently pro-mage because of the potential threat they pose, the current system is a flawed one that should be abolished.  Surely there are better solutions to the mage situation.

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages?

       Perhaps.  But only if the Templars were removed and Andrastianism were independent entirely.

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage?

     Slightly, but not particularly.  Mages are still a threat and still need to be trained, either by other mages, like the Keepers, or something else.  The Templar system must go.

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar?

       Yes.  There is no such thing as a good templar.

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and Blood Mages?

       Apostates, yes, for technically the Keepers count as Apostates.  Otherwise, no.  A mage run afoul can corrupt the minds of many.

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule?

       Absolutely not.  The subjugation which the city elves are subjected to is bad enough, but outright slavery?  And a system based upon magic, one which rewards the employment of dangerous and forbidden magic?  No.

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility

      A barbaric structure that needs to be gotten rid of.  No one should have more than the rest.  No one.

4b. The Poor

       They have her sympathies, although why they have not yet revolted is beyond her.  The Elves have done it twice, why has there not been a peasant revolt successful enough to change the system of economics?

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

5a. The Qunari Faith

      Worshipping the universe is fine.  Nature is a wonder that deserves recognition.  The quest for purpose is also admirable, as everyone must find theirs before they die.  The rigid structure and extreme intolerance for anyone that is not Qunari, and the shackling of mages is abhorrent.

5b. Imperial Andrastianism

      No better than normal Andrastianism, but at least they do not have such vitriol for mages.  The rest of their culture is unfortunately deplorable.

5c. The Old Gods

      Dangerous things that are better left in the ground.  If the peoples of the world had any mind at all, they'd rally behind one banner and march with the dwarves into the depths to slay them in their sleep, before they awaken.

5d. The Dalish Gods

       The gods closest to her heart, yet distant from the trickery of the Dread Wolf.

5f. Atheism

     She understands it, and can even see the logic behind it, to some extent, but does not follow.  

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves

       Their insular and xenophobic society will be the death of them.  The darkspawn have been at their door for centuries.  A societal revolution and increased trade and support from the surface might alleviate their suffering.  Their political machinations are nearly as bad as the Orlesians, however, and their caste system does not reflect well on their culture.   

6b.  City Elves

       They have lost the way.  But there will be a day when the Dalish march upon the cities of Orlais, free their brethren and reclaim the Dales.  When that day comes, the City Elves may make a choice to side with their cousins or their human captors.

6c.  Dalish Elves

       Though she admires her people, she is severe enough to see their numerous faults.  Their prejudice toward their city brethren, though understandable, is not practical.  The People need the numbers.  Their society is simply grasping at straws, and though the straws have more substance than most, there is a lot left to learn.  Who even knows if the Old Ways were just.

6d.  Humans

       Kelsy is not fond of man for a number of reasons beyond counting. Her prejudice runs so deep that she receives humans with cool indifference, barely tolerating their presence.  Some may prove themselves for competent, intelligent and admirable than most, but overall, every human is capable of great atrocities.

6e.  (the) Kossith

       Having never met a giant before, she cannot say what her opinion is.  If they follow their heathen doctrine, however, she has no interest.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais

       Orlais is simply Tevinter in fancier clothing.  Both would enslave the world if they had the chance, and neither has the best interest of the elves or their people in mind.  

7b.  Ferelden

       The Fereldan seem to have more honor than most, but they are humans all the same.

7c.  Tevinter

       A different face of evil than Orlais, one even more contemptible.  History has shown time and again that darkness dwells in that land.  The cities should be burned to the ground and the fields sewn with salt.  Perhaps then the evil would be dispelled.

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic?

     Pragmatic.  Idealistic only in regards to her people and their preservation, and the recapturing of her people's lost culture and history.

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means?

       Very nearly.  The boot of the world has been on the throats of many for long.  The Many will need to take swift and violent action.

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

       No, for the many are ignorant cattle, contented with the subjugation of mages, the poor and the elves.

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others?

       Yes, but only for her people.

 

9.  What alignment are they? 

      True neutral with smacks of neutral evil.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?

       With reluctance.  To enter the realm of the gods and be chosen stole her breath.  It will take her some time to adjust to her destiny and accept it.  Once she does, she will come to the conclusion that she was chosen for a reason.  The world is in a time of chaos, and with some guidance, things could shift to the better.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy?

       Dutiful.

 

12.  Are they intelligent?

       Yes, she is quite brilliant.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people?

         Though she is decent at reading people, she has no patience for priming and preening and putting on pretenses.  She has all the tact of a boulder. 

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed?

         She is well read, as she keeps an ear to the ground for any stories, and will even trade for shemlen books.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense?

         Kelsy does not possess wisdom, but has a sharp mind for consequences, and can quickly think of the best way out of a situation.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change?

         Kelsy is quite adaptable.  It comes with the territory of being a ranger.

12e.  Are they skilled artistically?

         No.

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious?

       Serious as a plague.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism?

         No.  Did her stern expression confuse you or something?

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it?

         No.  The closest thing to humor she'd engage in would be scathing sarcasm, or a backhanded compliment.

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? 

       Kelsy is reluctant to believe in the concept of love.  The very notion of caring for someone more than you care for your own wellbeing is baffling.

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family?

       Yes, although it's hard to tell, given how cool she can be.

 

 

[Maura Lavellan] - [Mage] - [20] - [Female] - [Straight]

 

Spoiler

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism?

    Andrastianism isn't for her.  The idea sounds horrible, too!  But after she meets a few practitioners, she might come to learn that there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

 

1a.  If not, than what do they practice, if anything?

       Maura venerates the old Elvish gods, but practices her faith with a light touch.  Rather than warning everyone of the Dread Wolf, she tries to fold her spiritualism into parables and show wisdom in her teachings.  Finding signs of the Elvish deities in every day, mundane events can be a little hard though, especially when your head's in the clouds.

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service?

       Light touch, see above.

 

2. Are they pro-Circle?

    No.  Maura thinks that the Circle is a horrible institution!  Magic is a gift, not a curse.  It just requires proper guidance.

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar?

       Good heavens, no.

2b.  Are they anti-Mage?

       Nope.

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages?

       Maybe a circle-like institution, one that is self-policing where mages are taught by other mages.  Preferably a secular or Dalish-guided institution, where mages are not taught to fear and loathe their own gifts.

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage?

     Yes.

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar?

       Yes,

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and Blood Mages?

       Blood magic is a terrible gift, given by demons who made a pact with the Tevinter Magisters, the same that enslaved her people millennia ago. 

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule?

       No, she hates everything about Tevinter.

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility

      The idea of nobility is kind of confusing to her.  People whom are wealthy in material things and granted respect simply because their parents were?  Did they ever actually do anything to contribute to society in a meaningful way? 

4b.  The Poor

       The poor have her sympathies.  Not being able to live off the land and being boxed in in small enclosures surrounded by more boxes with little food or clean water sounds awful!

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

5a. The Qunari Faith

      The huh what?

5b. Imperial Andrastianism

      Even worse than normal Andrastianism, because the word 'Imperial' is in it.

5c. The Old Gods

      Likely demons, or perhaps the old Elvish gods confined to the Underworld.

5d. The Dalish Gods

       The only gods for her.

5f. Atheism

      How could you see a world so full of wonder and not believe in anything?

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves

       Maura is so curious!  She's never seen a dwarf before!  Oh, wait, no.  She isn't too enthusiastic, because that isn't becoming of a Keeper, but she's still interested in broadening her horizons.

6b.  City Elves

       Her heart is full of sorrow for her lost cousins.  To be confined to a city where everyone despises you, with no culture or truth to cling to sounds utterly wretched.

6c.  Dalish Elves

       The People, her People.  The best people of all!

6d.  Humans

       Maura isn't really sure what to think about them.  They took away her people's culture and language, and they seem to hate elves.  So there's every reason to hate them.  But she's met a few and they don't seem too bad.  Is everything her people said right?

6e.  (the) Kossith

       Gold skinned, horned giants from beyond the sea?  That sounds as intriguing as short people from under the earth!

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais

       Orlais took away the Dales again.  She has nothing but contempt for it.

7b.  Ferelden

       Ferelden is okay, and their dogs are neat!

7c.  Tevinter

       Tevinter deserves to burn for what it's done.

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic?

      Idealistic, certainly.  A bit naive, as she believes what she's told until she experiences otherwise.

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means?

       No.  Sometimes the ends justify the means, but rarely.

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

       Absolutely. 

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others?

       As the Keeper-in-Training, it is her job to lead her people.  Even if it means her death.

 

9.  What alignment are they? 

      Neutral Good.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?

       With responsibility!  She can't get caught up in daydreams, she has important work to do.  Work that might help her people, or change human perspective on her people.  Besides!  She'll get to explore the world!

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy?

       Dutiful, but easily sidetracked.

 

12.  Are they intelligent?

       Average intelligence, ignorant about the world outside of Dalish culture, and generally gullible and easily distracted, but creative.

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people?

         Surprisingly, yes.  Being a Keeper-in-Training has made her good at this. 

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed?

         No, unless it relates to Dalish lore or Dalish knowledge on humans.

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense?

         She has some degree of wisdom to her, kind of.  Most of it comes from the Keeper's teachings and her own spirituality.  Common sense is hard for her.

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change?

         Sudden change would be extremely jarring, since she's used to a relatively static environment other than the location in the forest.

12e.  Are they skilled artistically?

         No, but she can sing.

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious?

       Slightly funny, in an offbeat and enthusiastic way.  She laughs pretty easily, though.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism?

         No.

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it?  

         Sometimes.  Maura just likes to make people feel good about themselves, and might make them smile that way instead.  Being funny is hard, and a lot of jokes go over her head.

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? 

       Maura is definitely a romantic, and wears her heart on her sleeve.  She's fallen in love half a dozen times, and her eye is currently on a young elven man, who's quite cute.  

 

15.  Did they, or do they love their family?

       Absolutely!  She loves her clan!

----I'LL DO THE REST LATER---

 

[Rusulka Adaar] - [Mage] - [34] - [Female] - [Hetrosexual]

  
1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism?
A. No. A cult of lunatics worshipping a long dead Tevinter rebel as a deity. Laughable.
 
1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything?
A.    See this glowing orb in my palm? That's what I practice. Not invisible phantoms.
1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service?
A.    Pah! Zealotry is merely an excuse to abuse others. Devotion is childish foolishness. Spirituality is just procrastination. 
 
2. Are they pro-Circle?
A. No. A mage is not a beast of burden or a cow to be locked in a pen for most of it's life and milked whenever it's master wishes.
2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar?
A.    Templars are the cowherds milking their beloved cows and occasionally forcing themselves into them for pleasure. 
2b.  Are they anti-Mage?
A.    I am Anti-Lock-Myself-In-A-Tower-Because-They-Fear-My-Power. Deal with it plebeians. </sunglasses>
2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages?
A.    It's either/or really. The circle is archaic and exploitative. It can be reformed however.
 
3.  Are they pro-Mage?
A. Indeed. I would like to thank whatever chaotic twist of fate granted me the power to bend the elements to my will.
3a.  Are they anti-Templar?
A.    Yes. Archaic and abusive order. Ironically the Templar's do a better job of harming each other than the mages.
3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages?
A.    Apostate? You mean a person with common sense? Maleficar? HAHAHA! You humans and your absolutely adorable words for a                  criminal who just happens to be a mage. Both deserve to be put down. Blood Mage? Ooh! Scary! That's just a class of magic dear,            nothing more.
3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule?
A.    No. The Tevinter style of ruling is what happens when you let barbarism rule the day. Magic or no.
 
4.  What is their opinion of:
 
4a. Nobility
A.   My salary payers. I find them amusing, much like a kitten. So haughty, so proud, so curious and... so fragile. 
4b. The Poor
A. Ah the poor. What is there to say about them? Numerous as the stars but not as pretty. I admire those who are determined to cast off the chains of oppression and rise to the higher tiers of society to become as fragile as the nobles.
 
5.  What is their opinion of:
 
               5a. The Qunari Faith
              A.   An unfortunate and ugly truth that I cannot accept. Better to be free in denial than chained by acceptance.
               5b. Imperial Andrastianism
              A.   On it's way towards extinction much like the gods of old. It cannot sustain itself and I can see the buckling before collapse.
               5c. The Old Gods
              A.    Legends fit for the history books and nothing more. Let them stay buried beneath the dwarven cities. Their time is over.
               5d. The Dalish Faith
              A.    I admire the Dalish and their staunch almost murderous protection of their faith. They are what the Andrastians should aspire to be,                        protecting and nurturing as opposed to zealotry and oppression. Each clan is ruled by a mage yet there is harmony. In a perfect                              world we would be living through a near immortal Dalish Empire.
               5f. Atheism
              A.  The faith I belong to, that is the absolute rejection of a higher power besides my own. Oh there are spirits, demons and things. I have                    fought many in the fade. But I can tell you right now there is no Maker. If an entity claims as such then I shall test them because gods                    don't bleed right? Men should stop crying for an invisible savior and make their own path.
 
6.  What is their opinion of:
 
6a.  Dwarves
A.    Hardy, hard working and hard headed. No other race must be as stubborn and unmoving as the stout folk. It suits them perhaps, all          that stone has finally wormed it's way into their brains. A modern society must be malleable, able to change as time passes and new          ideas are introduced. The Dwarves cling to the old ways too harshly and unwilling to accept their faults unlike the Dalish who by                virtue of being nomadic, embrace change.
6b.  City Elves
A.    The Arishok once said, "The elves are a pointy eared race who excel at poverty." The description was apparently a fallacy he                      presented to say that a race cannot be described as a single entity and individuals would skew that perception in many ways.                    However, I still think that description is apt for the City Elves. Poor and sad little things ripped straight from the storybook tales about        orphan humans I loved as a child. There was one exception however. I speak of the legendary Elven Warden who ended the Fifth              Blight. If only the others followed her example.
6c.  Dalish Elves
A.    Ah the Dalish. Proud, nomadic 
6d.  Humans
6e.  (the) Kossith
 
7.  What is their opinion of:
 
7a.  Orlais
7b.  Ferelden
7c.  Tevinter
 
8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic?
 
8a.  Do the ends always justify the means?
8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?
8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others?
 
9.  What alignment are they? 
 
10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?
 
11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy?
 
12.  Are they intelligent?
 
12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people?
12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed?
12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense?
12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change?
12e.  Are they skilled artistically?
 
13.  Are they funny, or serious?
A. Funny. When I get serious, be afraid.
 
13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism?
A.       Not for me, though I pity those who use it like that. My humour comes mostly from watching fools scurry about.
13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it?
A.       I have been told I am hilarious and should join a comedy troupe. Whether that is genuine appreciation for my talents or simply the             fear of reprisal were I to get angry, I don't know.
 
14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? 
A.    Romance is for the young and naive but I am far from cold and my aching heart begs to love another. Alas, no one dares ask me out.
 
15.  Did they, or do they love their family?
A.    Always.

[Markus]

[Galen Adaar] - [Mage] - [27] - [Male] - [Homosexual]

 

1. Are they a practitioner of Andrastianism?

 Not at the moment.

 

1a.  If not, then what do they practice, if anything?

Nope.

 

1b.  If religious, are they zealots, devout, spiritual, or do they only give lip service?

Even though he isn’t religious, Galen is very spiritual.  He just isn’t happy with the options available to him.

 

2. Are they pro-Circle?

Yes, to a degree. 

 

2a.  If so, are they pro-Templar?

For the most part, no.  To Galen, the term gives the impression of ignoring or hand-waving away their history of abuses. 

 

2b.  Are they anti-Mage?

Certainly not.

 

2c.  Do they support the Circle, but also more independence for mages?

That’s the ideal, leading to an eventual abolishment of the Circles in the future.

 

3.  Are they pro-Mage?

Yes, though he believes in certain level of restraint when seeking Mage’s Rights. 

 

3a.  Are they anti-Templar?

No, but he opposes the way the Order operated, and how they trained their members to deal with mages.

 

3b.  Do they support Apostates, Maleficar, and/or Blood Mages?

Apostates to a certain degree; he was trained by them when he first started showing signs of magic.  Maleficar/Blood Mages are a different story--for the sake of Mage freedom and public approval, they all have to die.

 

3c.  Do they support Tevinter style rule?

Not at all.  As a Mage, Galen feels he’s called to help people, not oppress them. 

 

4.  What is their opinion of:

 

4a. Nobility

Self-centered, ambitious, apathetic to suffering, untrustworthy, blind to anyone’s feelings but their own, easily corrupted by their own arrogance or greed, though there are respectable ones, though they usually grew up as commoners and worked hard to get where they are now

 

4b. The Poor

Closed-minded and dim-witted, but much more honorable than most nobles.  At least their bigotry and racism can be excused with ignorance.

 

5.  What is their opinion of:

 

               5a. The Qunari Faith

             Too rigid, falls apart when the pieces are scattered, obsessed with an impossible degree of mastery, treats their Mages abysmally, though the way they treat all races equally is admirable.

 

               5b. Imperial Andrastianism

              May have had the right idea at some point, but quickly lost the plot and let the Magisters return to power without much of a fight.  Corrupted like the Taint its forbearers brought back from the Fade, but perhaps redeemable.

 

               5c. The Old Gods

               More dangerous than they appear.

 

               5d. The Dalish Faith

               A fascinating subject for study, though he would never say that to a Dalish. 

 

               5f. Atheism

               Blind.  The world is too wondrous in its complexity not to have had some kind of divine hand in its making.

 

6.  What is their opinion of:

 

6a.  Dwarves

The only dwarves he’s ever met are Surfacers, and they were either too slick for his liking, or would murder you to take the silver from your purse.  Then again, Galen knows his old job wasn’t much different, so he tries to keep an open mind.

 

6b.  City Elves

A downtrodden group, treated like scum by most other people.  Even by members of their own race.  Dedicated to survival, working hard to make a place for themselves, finding ways to hold onto hope, the City Elves are perhaps one of the most admirable groups of people in Thedas.

 

6c.  Dalish Elves

Never met them, but heard stories about how they discriminate against their city-born cousins.  Respects their drive to preserve whatever pieces of their culture they can, but thinks they're stupid for rejecting the City Elves, and are too focused on the past to build a future for themselves.

 

6d.  Humans

A mixed bag, too varied to make any real opinions, besides the fact that they are arrogant in a way only the majority on Thedas can be (they think everything is about themselves), and that they have a hard time thinking for themselves.

 

6e.  (the) Kossith

A mixed bag, like humans, but cultural Qunari have an even harder time--near impossible, in fact--of thinking beyond the limits the Qun imposes on them.  Prefers to avoid cultural Qunari, as he tends to project his negative associations with the philosophy onto them, causing him to become hostile.

 

7.  What is their opinion of:

 

7a.  Orlais

An entire nation full of fops, apathetic and ambitious nobles, weird fashion choices, corruption and oppression of the weak, Chevaliers, and war hawks.  The cities are pretty, but that’s all they are: a facade for the ugliness underneath.

 

7b.  Ferelden

Not much better than most societies in Thedas, but at least the nobility are to be respected, and any nation that can fight off Orlesian hegemony is good in Galen’s books.

 

7c.  Tevinter

The heart of corruption, a black mark on the reputation of both Mages and Thedas at large.  There might be good people in the Imperium, but they have to prove it to Galen before he starts really trusting them.

 

8.  Are they idealistic or pragmatic?

Idealistic for the most part, but understands that not everything works out the way he wishes it would. 

 

8a.  Do the ends always justify the means?

Very rarely.  Unless the end you are trying to reach is for an imminent threat, there is always time to think of an alternative to a bad plan.

 

8b.  Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

Yes, but it sometimes depends on how you define needs, and whether those needs are truly important, or just for the sake of peace of mind.

 

8c.  Would they sacrifice themselves for others?

Yes, he would.  For his close friends and for the helpless, he would sacrifice his life.

 

9.  What alignment are they? 

Neutral good, straying into True Neutral.  He’s had to play Neutral Evil as a mercenary, however.  He's always felt ill at ease with those parts of his life.

 

10.  How do they view their role as the Inquisitor?

He chafes at it at times.  He’s never considered himself leadership material, the position requires him to act in a way that’s contrary to his personality, and he’s unsure of whether to trust his adviser’s opinions, or act according to his own (shaky) convictions.

 

11.  Are they dutiful, or lazy?

A bit inbetween.  If he can get away with it, he will avoid his responsibilities, but when on the job, he’s a dedicated worker.

 

12.  Are they intelligent?

 

12a.  Are they socially intelligent, and gifted at reading people?

Not really.  He knows how to hold a conversation, but the subtleties are lost on him.  He is able to read most apparent emotions, or get a sense that someone is being cold or aggressive, but he ins’t too skilled at reading people.

 

12b.  Are they academically intelligent, and widely versed?

Galen’s an autodidact in most subjects, and he loves to learn new things.  Magic and self defense are the only two skills for which he’s needed a mentor.  While he might not be as widely-read as most scholars his age, he is versed in a number of subjects, and the list is growing. 

 

12c.  Are they wise, and do they possesses common sense?

Galen is fairly wise and temperate, considering the company he’s kept.  He does have a habit of running his mouth and saying things he’d usually keep to himself when he’s facing death...or at least when he thinks he’s facing death. 

 

12d.  Are they adaptable, or unable to cope with sudden change?

Galen adapts to sudden changes with lots of griping, and then eventual acceptance.  If he isn’t allowed to gripe, then he has a much harder time accepting a change, and in those cases, he will often just shut down.

 

12e.  Are they skilled artistically?

Galen is a talented cook and a budding musician.

 

13.  Are they funny, or serious?

Serious for the most part.  His humor is entirely situational, and relies heavily on non-offensive sarcasm and making sardonic, outrageous statements.

 

13a.  Is humor a defense mechanism?

Yeah, I’d say so.

 

13b.  Do they try to be funny, and fail at it?

Not very often, and it’s usually hit or miss.  He’s more likely to be the subject of someone else’s ribbing.

 

14.  Are they a romantic, or do they fear commitment? 

Galen is very much a romantic.  He loves to see happy couples, wherever he can find them, even though he doubts he will ever find his own better half.

 

15. Did they, or do they love their family?

To a degree, but he also feels very distant from them, for reasons he isn’t very willing to disclose.

[Doominike]

<1st name to be decided> Adaar-qunari/kossith-warrior-female-mid 20s to 30 or so I guess

 

1. Andrastian ? No.

 

2. Pro-Circle ? No. She thinks a mage school is a good idea, but not a prison

 

3. Pro-Mage ? Pretty much ya, she's against the templar oppression, especially since their justification is a dead woman who was herself opposed to oppression and some kind of shared imaginary friend. Plus she thinks being able to shoot lightning and fireballs is actually pretty cool

 

4. Opinions on nobility and the poor ? For nobles it depends, nobles who are actually noble (as in the character trait) are fine, those who are haughty about their wealth and status she dislikes. For the poor, she knows society is to blame for their predicament (in most cases) and deplores it

 

5. Opinions on beliefs ? For those that have deities, she believes that powerful would involve themselves if they existed, as the spirits, demons and archdemons/old gods do. And if they exist but don't involve themselves, then they're irrelevant to the world anyways and praising them is a waste. As previously mentioned she does believe the beings called "Old Gods" exist/ed but she personally considers them to be merely powerful beings and not deities, as they could be fought and slain. For the Qun, she agrees with some of their practical sense tenets but overall finds it oppressive and too dictatorial 

 

6. Opinions on races ? Dwarves are worthy of respect for holding the line in the Deep Roads but their caste system harbors too many wrongs and their upper class seems to have a baseless air of superiority. City Elves she is mixed about, on one hand they submit to another culture erasing their own but on the other hand the modern ones were born in this situation and there is little alternative. Dalish elves she (probably) hasn't met personally but she likes the idea of nomads sticking with their convictions and refusing to submit. Humans are much too widespread and varied to have even a general opinion about. She's honestly rather glad to be one of the horned giants. Taller, stronger, tougher and more endurant than any other race, immune to at least a few toxic substances, and although not liked in many places, it's much better to be feared than hated

 

7. Opinions on human cultures ? Orlais is cesspool of impracticality and deception, and those chevaliers do not impress her,true warriors need not their raiment to speak for their mettle. Ferelden she rather likes, they're more straightforward and practical, it's cold and gritty, they put priority on taste and not looks for their meals. Tevinter she doesn't like what she heard at all, slavery and mass killings for petty reasons, Orlais may be senseless and dubious but they're not blatantly villainous 

 

8. Pragmatic ? Very few means aren't justifiable by a sufficiently crucial end, and in some cases dealing in ultimates is necessary. She believes many > few in the sense that if you're going to do good then you should strive to do the most good possible. She wouldn't go as far as self-sacrifice though ("I ain't *that* good")

 

9. Alignment ? I dunno, chaotic neutral with good inclinations or something I guess

 

10. How does she view her Inquisitor role ? She's not glad about it per se but she knows it needs to be done and it's gotta be her so she's gonna do it. Plus maybe this Elder One/anti-quizzy dude ticks her off and she really wants to get her hands on his squishy little head and end it like Tyrion's trial by combat >

 

11. Dutiful or lazy ? In-between I'd say

 

12. Intelligent ? Socially no, she's pretty direct, blunt and brutally honest, though I guess maybe yes in a way because she spots shadiness. Academically she tries to be, she's not a knowledge craving intellectual but she likes to learn things so she's much more booksmart than people would expect a 7 foot BFS-wielding horned brute to be. This likeness to learn things give her decent perspective so she tends to actually have fairly enlightened views of most things. Adaptability-wise, in combat she is but in social situations and the like not so much. She admires the skill behind works of art but solely focuses on the art of sharp steel herself

 

13. Funny or serious ? She's a no-nonsense stoic when things are serious (like combat and war decisions) but in rest periods she can somewhat loosen up. She's also a dry deadpan snarker at times (think kinda like say, Javik)

 

14. Romantic ? Nope, she most likely won't romance and if she does she'll be the most blunt that dialogue allows

 

15. Gonna have to wait for more info before I decide that
