Alright, so RP:
===========
So my character was born in a wealthy and proud Altus family and is a dreamer. His a 23yr old human male, let's call him Kain.
Rough appearance:
A few general notes: During combat he never uses any weapons or a staff, only magic for both offense and defense.
Likes to wear fancy clothes, and to wear them into combat as well, to mock his enemies, and show true power of magic.
So the only family Kain currently has is an older brother, who they get along with very well. Both parents were assassinated by another Altus family in a political intrigue, as Kain reached 20. But Kain and his brother didn't really care too much, as parents didn't show them much love and saw them only as prize children to elevate their status.
The two brothers were raised differently. The older one was supposed to take fathers place as the head of the family, and has spent a lot of time with the father in learning the ways of Tevinter magocracy, while Kain wasn't interested in politics or status. From a young age Kain was just always fascinated with magic in and of itself, and wanted to study it deeper, unravel all it's mysteries.
Parents decided that Kain still had to benefit the family in some way, and as they didn't see any immediate promising results in merely allowing Kain to become a scholar, specially not when they found out that he was a dreamer. Instead they pushed him into studying magic for the sake of destruction and power. He was given a private tutor that would drill him into becoming one of the best mage combatants, as well as much about other ways the magic could be used, and even forbidden blood magic, which Kain had great affinity for. The tutor even discretely gathered all the available information on ancient dreamers and Kain would start to master his unique powers.
And Kain did indeed became a fearsome combatant as the parents wanted him to be. As soon as he started to show great results, they would send him on missions to strengthen the family such as: covertly eliminating or mind controlling with his dreamer powers people that they found detrimental to their political agendas, leading the charge of tevinter troops against Qunari that would threaten the family lands, and even venturing into the deep roads to help fight off darkspawn and other deadly creatures while the workers would get valuable supplies and materials. At first Kain was weary of the slaughter, but he soon embraced his inner predator and fell in love with it. He has taken hundreds of lives, and the screams became a music to his ears, ripping enemies to shreds and burning them alive would make him feel alive and put a smile on his face, and at the end of the day he would come back victorious to his parents approval and enjoy his rich life with finest meals, royal balls, and countless slaves to satisfy his every desire.
Since the parents died not much has changed. Kain and his brother actually did get along very well since young age. And as the older brother became the heir, Kain became his second in charge. Both now had more freedom in everything they would want to do, and they could rule as they saw fit. The older brother wasn't satisfied however and made it his greatest ambitions to become the next archon. Kain suggested that in order to achieve such things one would have to uncover great magic secrets ( his old passion ) that others would have no access to, and they decided to work in that direction. And who offered to help them? Zarr.
But who is Zarr? Well since Kain was little he felt this really strong connection to the fade, and he would often visit it. There where spirits and demons there that would whisper to Kain and he often talked with them. But none of them ever stayed for a long enough time. They tried to convince Kain to let them in, they offered power and secrets and anything he desired, but then they would just disappear, or sometimes run away in terror. When Kain told about this to his parents they understood that he was a dreamer and would keep that a secret from others. They instructed Kain that he should never deal with any spirits or demons, and that he should never tell anyone that he is a dreamer and when his harrowing day would come he would pretend to pass it normally. As Kain grew older and understood the dangers of the fade and how spirits and demons generally work, he wondered what happens with all those demons that would try and whisper to him. He would never fight them off, but they would always go away or run away. Then one time during such instance he concentrated greatly and tried to feel what was going on, and he felt a presence. A familiar presence that seems to have been there all along, but he never noticed. He followed the presence and met a demon. Kain asked the demon about who it was and what it wanted. Zarr was the demons name and it was a greater Hunger demon. But this demon was not like any other one Kain has ever met. The demon didn't seem like it wanted to take control of Kain. This demon was very curious of it's existence, and in order to understand more was feeding on other demons to gain their power and knowledge. The demon said that all these years Kain was like a bright beacon in the fade, one that would attract many demons, that Zarr would feed on, it was his clever trap. And throughout the years the demon has gained much knowledge and power.
Kain would come back to the demon many, many times, and have lengthy conversations about existence, and magic, and speculate on the origins of it all. Both found that they were alike, curious creatures that knew nothing about the purpose of their existence. They became ''soulmates''. Soon Zarr would try and satisfy Kain's desires. Zarr would at one point turn into the most beautiful woman Kain could ever imagine, and from that day Kain fell in love, and would not look at Thedas women ever again, he was only looking forward to his next visit to the fade in his private time. Zarr would also share many secrets of magic, of taint, eluvians, blood magic, dreamer abilities and much more. All of these for Kain to explore, while strengthening his and his brothers future empire...
====================
Yeah.. something like that. Did I go overboard? I dunno, but I had this story somehow pop into my mind..
