...Thus, my Inquisitor shall be:
Name: Mj'kull Trevelyan (yes, I personally hope they allow the use of the ' because it simply, in my opinion, makes for a cooler looking alternate spelling of Michael)
Gender: Male
Class: Rogue (dual wielding daggers)
Specialization: Assassin
Personality: Wise ass
Romance: (as of this random moment) Josephine
Intended Traits (persona):
A young man who was NEVER convinced of The Chantry's sense of "goodness" or of "protecting the people from the evils of magic"; in fact, it would be fair to say he would be the Thedas' version of either spiritual or agnostic (knowing the fade exists, demons, etc.. but NOT being convinced of any evidence of a supposed absentee Maker or divine bride.) In fact, he prided himself on always pointing out flaws in those family and friends who were so "blinded" by their faith that sometimes they were oblivious to their own falsehoods. However, in spite of all this, he believed in honor and loyalty to family above all and thus never "argued" over his intended place to join the Chantry or Templars out of respect. He never saw magic as good or evil, only knew that it was as natural a tool as a perfectly sharpened sword or dagger, and realized that the dogma of the Chantry was ("magic was meant to serve man and NEVER rule over him") misleading; for if this "Maker" granted magic to serve, then those who wield it are no more a danger than any of his other children of this realm who use the tools they are granted to whatever end. It was to this end that his natural disposition to the way of the rogue made sense: Do what must be done, with the tools you are given, and never taken freedom from another nor ever allow another to take yours.
So, with the Mage-Templar war washing over Thedas and so many dying in its wake, the responsibility he sees as the inquisitor is as follows: Make this world free from ANYONE of ANYTHING that would see your freedom taken from you, simply for being who you are, because some fairy tale "chant" tells you so or because creatures from beyond the veil would take it from you along with your life.. So, if the world can be "saved" as is and all involved can finally see their errors, then so be it. However, if the only way freedom can be achieved is by ending this forsaken world, in order to build a better one, then.. so be it.
It was not magic that ruined the world, it was the human frailty of fear, misunderstanding, and the ego and arrogance that comes from being oblivious to the harm you do even if it is for "your greater good."
